Product details
Overview
MAX6388XS23D3-T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with active-high push-pull reset output, factory-set 2.31V VCC reset threshold (±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C), 140ms minimum 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 portable battery-powered equipment and dual-rail embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6388XS23D3-T datasheet, MAX6388XS23D3-T pinout, MAX6388XS23D3-T application, or MAX6388XS23D3-T equivalent, key selection factors include its 4-pin SC70 package, 2.31V threshold accuracy, 140ms VCC reset delay, RESET IN comparator reference of +1.27V, and compatibility with dual-supply brownout detection in space-constrained industrial controllers.
Technical Context
The MAX6388XS23D3-T integrates a precision bandgap-based voltage comparator for VCC monitoring and a separate high-impedance RESET IN comparator referenced to +1.27V, enabling independent supervision of two power rails. Its internal timer ensures reset assertion remains active for ≥140ms after VCC or RESET IN recovers above their respective thresholds.
It features an active-high push-pull RESET output capable of sourcing 150µA at VCC ≥ 1.8V while maintaining VOH ≥ 0.8×VCC, and accepts MR-level logic on its manual reset input - though MR is not implemented in this variant (MAX6388 lacks MR per Selector Guide). The device operates across -40°C to +125°C with ±60ppm/°C reset threshold tempco.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Reset Threshold | 2.31V nominal, ±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C - ensures reliable brownout detection across automotive and industrial temperature ranges |
| Reset Timeout Period | 140ms minimum - provides sufficient hold time for μP initialization before release |
| Supply Current | 3μA at +1.8V - enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered IoT sensors |
| RESET Output Type | Active-high push-pull - eliminates need for external pullup resistor, simplifies interface to CMOS inputs |
| RESET IN Threshold | +1.27V reference - allows user-defined secondary reset point via resistor divider (e.g., 3.3V rail at 1.27V × (R1/R2 + 1)) |
| Operating Voltage Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - supports valid reset assertion during deep brownout down to 1V VCC |
| Package | 4-pin SC70 (X4+1 outline) - 1.3mm × 1.6mm footprint ideal for wearables and compact modules |
Pinout & Package
MAX6388XS23D3-T is housed in a RoHS-compliant 4-pin SC70 package (outline 21-0098, land pattern 90-0187), measuring 1.3mm × 1.6mm × 0.95mm, with thermal resistance θJA = 322.6°C/W on multilayer board.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | Main supply input and primary reset monitor rail - powers internal circuitry and triggers reset when falling below 2.31V |
| 2 | RESET | Active-high push-pull output - drives high during reset assertion; sinks current only during transition, no external pullup required |
| 3 | RESET IN | Auxiliary voltage monitor input - compared against +1.27V internal reference; reset asserts if voltage falls below threshold |
| 4 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference - must be connected directly to system ground plane for stable comparator operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-rail supervision | Simultaneous monitoring of VCC and external rail via RESET IN enables fail-safe startup in dual-voltage SoC systems |
| Low-power operation | 3μA supply current at 1.8V extends battery life in always-on edge nodes without compromising reset reliability |
| Precision threshold accuracy | ±2.5% over full temperature range eliminates need for external calibration in harsh environments |
| Guaranteed reset validity | RESET output remains logically valid down to VCC = 1V - prevents spurious release during deep undervoltage |
| Negative transient immunity | Immune to VCC glitches ≤35µs at 100mV overdrive - suppresses false resets from switching noise or ESD coupling |
Applications
| Portable Medical Sensors | Industrial PLC I/O Modules |
|---|---|

Use Scenario: Wearable ECG patch powered by CR2032 battery with 3.0V analog front-end and 1.8V MCU core. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervises both 3.0V sensor rail (via RESET IN) and 1.8V core rail (via VCC), asserting active-high RESET until both stabilize. Use Value: Prevents firmware crash during battery voltage sag; 140ms timeout aligns with ADC settling and BLE radio wake-up sequence. |
Use Scenario: DIN-rail mounted PLC module with isolated 24V DC input converted to 5V and 3.3V rails. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monitors 5V main rail (VCC) and 3.3V logic rail (RESET IN) to detect cross-rail failure before FPGA configuration. Use Value: Dual-threshold detection avoids single-point failure; ±2.5% accuracy ensures consistent behavior across -40°C to +70°C operating range. |
| Automotive Body Control Units | Battery Management Systems |
|
Use Scenario: BCM sub-module using 5V microcontroller and 3.3V CAN transceiver, exposed to load-dump transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides reset hold-off during cold-crank (VCC dip) and monitors transceiver supply independently via RESET IN. Use Value: 35µs negative transient immunity prevents false resets during engine start; AEC-Q100 qualified variants available. |
Use Scenario: Li-ion pack monitor IC powered from cell stack via LDO, requiring precise undervoltage lockout. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Uses RESET IN to sense divided cell voltage; VCC tied to regulated 3.3V supply for stable timing reference. Use Value: Enables programmable UVLO threshold (e.g., 2.5V/cell) without trimming resistors; 140ms delay accommodates LDO startup overshoot. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6387XS23D3-T | Same 2.31V threshold, 140ms timeout, and 4-pin SC70 package, but features open-drain active-low RESET output | Requires external pullup resistor; compatible with legacy systems using active-low reset logic | Select MAX6387XS23D3-T only if host MCU requires active-low reset assertion or shares reset bus with other open-drain devices |
| TLV809K23DBZR | 2.32V threshold, 140ms timeout, SOT-23-3 package; no RESET IN input; ±2% accuracy over -40°C to +125°C | Single-rail only; smaller footprint but lacks dual-supply monitoring capability | Choose TLV809K23DBZR for cost-sensitive, space-constrained designs where only VCC supervision is needed |
Compared with MAX6388XS23D3-T, MAX6387XS23D3-T offers identical supervision specs but different reset polarity and drive type, while TLV809K23DBZR reduces size and cost at the expense of auxiliary rail monitoring - making MAX6388XS23D3-T optimal for dual-voltage integrity assurance.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6388XS23D3-T and how stable is it over temperature?
The MAX6388XS23D3-T has a factory-set VCC reset threshold of 2.31V (nominal), with guaranteed accuracy of ±2.5% over the full operating range of -40°C to +125°C. Its tempco is ±60ppm/°C, meaning threshold drift is less than 15mV across the entire temperature span - sufficient for robust brownout detection in automotive and industrial environments without calibration.
Does MAX6388XS23D3-T support manual reset functionality?
No, MAX6388XS23D3-T does not include a manual reset (MR) input. Per the Selector Guide and Pin Configurations, MR is only present on MAX6384/MAX6385/MAX6386/MAX6390 variants. MAX6388XS23D3-T is configured exclusively for automatic supervision of VCC and RESET IN rails, with no provision for external reset initiation.
How is the auxiliary RESET IN input used in MAX6388XS23D3-T?
In MAX6388XS23D3-T, the RESET IN pin connects to an internal +1.27V comparator reference. To monitor a second voltage rail (e.g., 3.3V), a resistor divider scales that rail to 1.27V at RESET IN. Reset asserts if either VCC drops below 2.31V or the divided RESET IN voltage falls below 1.27V - enabling coordinated power sequencing in dual-supply systems.
What package type and dimensions does MAX6388XS23D3-T use?
MAX6388XS23D3-T uses a 4-pin SC70 package (outline number 21-0098, land pattern 90-0187), measuring 1.3mm × 1.6mm × 0.95mm. It is RoHS-compliant (+T suffix), with thermal resistance θJA = 322.6°C/W on a multilayer PCB - optimized for high-density layouts in portable and automotive electronics.
Can MAX6388XS23D3-T operate reliably at very low supply voltages?
Yes, MAX6388XS23D3-T guarantees correct RESET output logic state down to VCC = 1.0V, and operates across 1.0V to 5.5V. Its 3μA supply current at 1.8V and push-pull active-high output ensure deterministic reset behavior even during deep brownout conditions common in battery-depleted systems.
