Product details
Overview
MAX6388XS22D6-T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power 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), 560ms minimum VCC reset timeout, and auxiliary RESET IN input for dual-voltage monitoring. It consumes only 3μA at +1.8V and guarantees valid reset state down to VCC = 1V, used in battery-powered instrumentation and dual-rail embedded controllers.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6388XS22D6-T datasheet, MAX6388XS22D6-T pinout, MAX6388XS22D6-T application, or MAX6388XS22D6-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.19V threshold accuracy, 560ms reset delay, 4-pin SC70 package, auxiliary voltage monitoring capability, and compatibility with systems requiring guaranteed reset assertion during brownout and transient immunity.
Technical Context
The MAX6388XS22D6-T integrates a precision bandgap reference and comparator to monitor VCC against a fixed 2.19V threshold while simultaneously accepting an external voltage via RESET IN for secondary supply supervision. Its internal timer ensures reset remains asserted for ≥560ms after VCC recovers above threshold.
It features an active-high push-pull RESET output that drives high during fault conditions and deasserts low after timeout; RESET IN compares against a stable +1.27V internal reference, enabling user-defined thresholds via resistor divider. The device operates across -40°C to +125°C with ±2.5% threshold accuracy and supports VCC as low as 1.0V while maintaining output validity.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6388LT22D6-T | Same electrical specs but in 6-pin μDFN package - larger footprint, better thermal dissipation, no RESET IN pin connection flexibility | Preferred for high-reliability board-level assembly where μDFN reflow yield is controlled; not drop-in compatible due to different pin count and layout | Select when thermal performance > space constraints, and RESET IN routing requires dedicated pad access |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V fixed threshold, 200ms timeout, open-drain output - lacks auxiliary RESET IN and active-high push-pull drive | Suitable for single-rail 3.3V systems without secondary monitoring; requires external pullup and level-shifting for active-high logic | Choose only if design uses only one supply and can accommodate open-drain interface and shorter timeout |
Compared with MAX6388XS22D6-T, the LT22D6-T variant trades SC70 compactness for μDFN thermal robustness and simplified layout, while the TPS3808G33DBVR offers lower cost in single-rail applications but sacrifices dual-monitoring capability, active-high drive, and long timeout - making it unsuitable for brownout resilience in dual-voltage systems.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6388XS22D6-T and how stable is it over temperature?
The MAX6388XS22D6-T has a factory-set nominal VCC reset threshold of 2.19V, with guaranteed accuracy of ±2.5% across the full operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C. This stability is achieved through laser-trimmed internal resistors and a precision bandgap reference, ensuring consistent brownout detection without external calibration. The MAX6388XS22D6-T maintains this tolerance under all specified supply and load conditions.
Does MAX6388XS22D6-T support monitoring of a second voltage rail, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the MAX6388XS22D6-T includes a dedicated RESET IN pin that connects to an internal +1.27V comparator reference. To monitor a second voltage, users connect RESET IN to the center tap of an external resistor divider - the threshold is calculated as VTH = 1.27V × (R1/R2 + 1). The MAX6388XS22D6-T asserts reset if either VCC falls below 2.19V or the divided voltage at RESET IN drops below 1.27V.
What is the function and timing behavior of the RESET output on MAX6388XS22D6-T?
The MAX6388XS22D6-T features an active-high push-pull RESET output that drives high when VCC falls below 2.19V or RESET IN falls below 1.27V, and remains high for a minimum of 560ms after both monitored voltages recover. It deasserts low thereafter without requiring external components. This behavior ensures the connected microprocessor remains held in reset long enough for stable power-up sequencing - a critical requirement confirmed in the MAX6388XS22D6-T datasheet timing specifications.
Can MAX6388XS22D6-T operate reliably at very low supply voltages, and what is the minimum functional VCC?
Yes, the MAX6388XS22D6-T guarantees correct RESET output logic state down to VCC = 1.0V, as explicitly stated in its Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. Below 1.0V, operation is not specified. This capability allows the MAX6388XS22D6-T to provide deterministic reset signaling during deep brownout events common in battery-depleted systems - a key differentiator versus many competing supervisors.
Is MAX6388XS22D6-T qualified for automotive applications, and what evidence supports this?
The MAX6388XS22D6-T carries the "/V" suffix option (e.g., MAX6388XS22D6/V+T) indicating AEC-Q100 qualification, and its datasheet explicitly states "AEC-Q100 Qualified" in the Features section. While the base part number MAX6388XS22D6-T is RoHS-compliant and rated for -40°C to +125°C operation, automotive-grade units require the /V suffix and are subject to additional stress testing - confirming suitability for under-hood and body-control module applications.
