Product details
Overview
MAX6388XS22D4-T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power, dual-voltage microprocessor supervisory circuit with active-high push-pull reset output, factory-set 2.19V VCC reset threshold (±2.5% over –40°C to +125°C), 1120ms minimum VCC reset timeout, and auxiliary RESET IN input for monitoring a second voltage. It operates from 1.0V to 5.5V supply and consumes only 3μA at 1.8V, enabling reliable power-up/brownout detection in space-constrained battery-powered systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6388XS22D4-T datasheet, MAX6388XS22D4-T pinout, MAX6388XS22D4-T application, or MAX6388XS22D4-T equivalent, key selection considerations include its 4-pin SC70 package, dual-monitoring capability via RESET IN, guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 1V, and compatibility with dual-rail systems requiring independent core/I/O voltage supervision.
Technical Context
The MAX6388XS22D4-T integrates two independent voltage comparators: one monitors VCC against a fixed 2.19V threshold, while the other compares an external voltage applied to RESET IN against an internal 1.27V reference. Reset asserts when either comparator trips, and remains asserted for 1120ms after recovery.
Its active-high push-pull RESET output drives high during fault conditions and deasserts cleanly without external pullup; MR is absent, distinguishing it from manual-reset variants like MAX6385. The device uses BiCMOS process technology and supports AEC-Q100-qualified automotive versions (denoted by /V suffix).
Key Specifications

| Guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 1V | Ensures deterministic reset state even during severe brownout or partial power loss - critical for fail-safe embedded control |
| Negative-going VCC transient immunity | Rejects sub-µs glitches up to 35µs wide (at 100mV overdrive) - prevents spurious resets in electrically noisy environments |
| Low quiescent current | 3μA at 1.8V enables >10-year battery life in always-on monitoring applications such as smart meters or asset trackers |
| Factory-trimmed precision threshold | ±2.5% accuracy over full temperature range eliminates need for external calibration or trimming components |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Modules | Battery-Powered Medical Sensors |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Monitoring both 3.3V I/O supply and 1.8V core voltage in programmable logic controller field modules exposed to wide ambient temperature swings. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-supply supervisor asserting active-high reset to ARM Cortex-M microcontroller upon any rail dropout. Use Value: Prevents firmware corruption during partial power loss; 1120ms timeout accommodates slow-starting isolated DC/DC converters. | Use Scenario: Continuous glucose monitor using coin-cell battery where long-term reliability and ultra-low power are mandatory. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary power supervisor detecting VCC brownout and secondary rail (sensor bias) via RESET IN to trigger safe shutdown sequence. Use Value: 3μA supply current extends battery life beyond 5 years; guaranteed operation down to 1V avoids false resets during end-of-life battery sag. |
| Automotive Body Control Units | Smart Home Hub Power Management |
Use Scenario: Supervising 5V system rail and 3.3V CAN transceiver supply in AEC-Q100–qualified body electronics modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-voltage watchdog ensuring MCU reset if either rail falls below specification during cold-cranking or load-dump events. Use Value: RESET IN input configured for 3.3V monitoring enables single-chip solution instead of two discrete supervisors - reduces BOM count and PCB area. | Use Scenario: Multi-rail power domain management in voice-controlled home hubs with separate 1.2V CPU, 1.8V memory, and 3.3V peripheral supplies. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary supervisor dedicated to 1.8V memory rail while main PMIC handles CPU core; RESET IN monitors memory voltage independently. Use Value: Eliminates risk of memory corruption due to undervoltage - 2.19V VCC threshold and 1.27V REF allow precise tailoring to memory IC requirements. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6387XS22D4-T | Same pinout, same thresholds/timing, but open-drain active-low RESET output requiring external pullup | Suitable where system-level reset bus is shared and pulled up externally; incompatible with direct drive of active-high μP inputs | Select MAX6387XS22D4-T only if legacy board design already includes pullup or if reset polarity must match existing bus architecture |
| TLV803EB22DBZR | Single-supply (VCC only), no RESET IN; 2.2V threshold, 140ms timeout; SOT-23-3 package | Lacks dual-monitoring capability and longer timeout; smaller footprint but no auxiliary rail support | Choose TLV803EB22DBZR for cost-sensitive, single-rail applications where RESET IN functionality is unnecessary and shorter timeout is acceptable |
Compared with MAX6387XS22D4-T, MAX6388XS22D4-T provides simpler interface via push-pull output and eliminates pullup resistor placement; versus TLV803EB22DBZR, it adds critical dual-rail supervision and extended 1120ms timeout essential for complex power sequencing.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6388XS22D4-T and how stable is it over temperature?
The MAX6388XS22D4-T has a factory-set nominal VCC reset threshold of 2.19V, with guaranteed accuracy of ±2.5% over the full operating temperature range of –40°C to +125°C. Its tempco is 60ppm/°C, meaning threshold drift is tightly controlled - for example, at –40°C it remains within 2.13V–2.25V, and at +125°C within 2.13V–2.25V. This stability ensures consistent brownout detection across automotive and industrial environments without calibration.
Does MAX6388XS22D4-T support manual reset functionality?
No, MAX6388XS22D4-T does not include a manual reset (MR) input. It belongs to the MAX6387/MAX6388/MAX6389 subgroup, which features only VCC monitoring and auxiliary RESET IN - unlike MAX6384/MAX6385/MAX6386 that integrate MR. If manual reset capability is required, consider MAX6385XS22D4-T (same threshold/timing, 4-pin SC70, with MR) or redesign to use external logic.
How is the auxiliary RESET IN input used in MAX6388XS22D4-T, and what voltage does it monitor?
The RESET IN pin on MAX6388XS22D4-T connects to an internal comparator referenced to a precise 1.27V bandgap. To monitor a secondary supply (e.g., 3.3V I/O rail), apply a divided version of that voltage using two resistors: R1 from the rail to RESET IN, R2 from RESET IN to GND. The threshold is set by VTH = 1.27V × (R1/R2 + 1). With <50nA input leakage, high-value resistors (e.g., 100kΩ/39kΩ) yield accurate, low-power monitoring without loading the source rail.
Can MAX6388XS22D4-T operate reliably when VCC drops below 1.8V?
Yes, MAX6388XS22D4-T is fully specified down to VCC = 1.0V and guarantees correct RESET output logic state (active-high during fault) even at 1.0V. At 1.8V, supply current is only 3μA; at 1.0V, it drops further. This makes MAX6388XS22D4-T suitable for ultra-low-voltage applications such as energy-harvesting systems or end-of-battery-life scenarios where VCC may sag to 1.1V–1.3V before shutdown.
What is the maximum allowable negative-going VCC transient duration that will not trigger a false reset on MAX6388XS22D4-T?
According to the MAX6388XS22D4-T datasheet's "Maximum Transient Duration vs. Reset Comparator Overdrive" graph, a negative-going VCC glitch of 100mV magnitude (i.e., VCC falling 100mV below the 2.19V threshold) can last up to ~35µs without causing a false reset. For larger overdrives (e.g., 200mV), the allowable duration shrinks to ~10µs. Adding a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor close to the VCC pin improves immunity further by filtering high-frequency noise.
