Product details
Overview
MAX6388XS24D2-T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with active-high push-pull reset output, factory-set 2.40V VCC reset threshold (±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C), 20ms minimum reset timeout, and auxiliary RESET IN input for dual-voltage monitoring. It operates from 1.0V to 5.5V supply and consumes only 3μA at 1.8V, serving as a power-fail detector in battery-powered embedded controllers.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6388XS24D2-T datasheet, MAX6388XS24D2-T pinout, MAX6388XS24D2-T application, or MAX6388XS24D2-T equivalent, this device delivers guaranteed reset assertion down to VCC = 1V, immunity to negative-going VCC transients, and precise dual-threshold supervision for systems requiring both core and I/O rail monitoring.
Technical Context
The MAX6388XS24D2-T integrates a precision bandgap reference and comparator to monitor VCC against a fixed 2.40V threshold while simultaneously accepting an external voltage via RESET IN, compared to an internal 1.27V reference. Its reset logic asserts the active-high push-pull output when either monitored voltage falls below its respective threshold.
A dedicated internal timer enforces a minimum 20ms reset timeout after VCC or RESET IN recovers; the device guarantees valid output state down to VCC = 1V and features ±60ppm/°C reset threshold tempco. It supports manual reset initiation only in sibling parts (MAX6384–MAX6386/MAX6390), not in MAX6388.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Reset Threshold | 2.40V (nominal), ±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C - ensures reliable brownout detection across automotive temperature range |
| Reset Timeout Period | 20ms (min) - provides sufficient hold time for μP initialization after power recovery |
| Supply Current | 3μA at VCC = 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, drives directly into μP reset pin |
| RESET IN Threshold | 1.27V (nominal), ±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C - allows user-defined secondary reset point via resistor divider |
| Operating Voltage Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - supports supervision of ultra-low-voltage cores (1.2V) and standard 3.3V/5V rails |
| Reset Assertion Delay | 35µs (VCC falling at 10mV/µs) - fast response to rapid supply collapse prevents code corruption |
Pinout & Package
MAX6388XS24D2-T is housed in a RoHS-compliant 4-pin SC70 package (outline 21-0098, land pattern 90-0187), measuring 2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.95mm, suitable for space-constrained portable designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | Main supply input and primary reset monitor node; accepts 1.0V–5.5V; powers internal circuitry |
| 2 | RESET (active-high) | Push-pull output asserted high during fault; drives μP reset pin directly without external components |
| 3 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference; must be connected to system ground plane for stable threshold accuracy |
| 4 | RESET IN | High-impedance auxiliary input; compared to 1.27V internal reference; enables dual-rail supervision |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent reset comparators | VCC and RESET IN monitored simultaneously; reset asserts if either drops below its threshold - enables true dual-voltage system supervision |
| Negative-going VCC transient immunity | Rejects glitches up to 350µs wide at 100mV overdrive - prevents spurious resets in noisy power environments |
| Guaranteed operation down to VCC = 1V | RESET output remains logically valid even as supply collapses - ensures deterministic μP behavior during deep brownout |
| Low quiescent current | 3μA at 1.8V - extends battery life in always-on monitoring applications such as smart meters and wearables |
| Precision reset threshold | ±2.5% tolerance over full temperature range - eliminates need for external calibration in industrial control modules |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6388LT24D2-T | Same electrical specs but in 6-pin μDFN (1.5mm × 1.5mm) instead of 4-pin SC70; includes NC pins for layout flexibility | Better thermal performance (θJA = 477°C/W vs. 322.6°C/W) and higher power dissipation margin for high-temperature enclosures | Select when board space allows larger footprint and thermal management is critical |
| TLV803EB24DBZR | Single-threshold (2.4V), no RESET IN; 20ms timeout; 0.5μA typical ICC at 1.8V; SOT-23-3 package | Lacks dual-supply monitoring capability; lower current draw suits ultra-low-power sleep modes but sacrifices system-level fault coverage | Select when only VCC supervision is required and sub-1μA quiescent current is mandatory |
Compared with MAX6388XS24D2-T, the μDFN variant offers superior thermal handling in sealed enclosures, while the TLV803EB24DBZR reduces supply current by 83% but removes auxiliary voltage monitoring-making it suitable only for single-rail applications where minimal BOM count is prioritized over comprehensive fault detection.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6388XS24D2-T and how tightly is it specified?
The MAX6388XS24D2-T has a factory-set nominal VCC reset threshold of 2.40V, with guaranteed tolerance of ±2.5% over the full operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C. This means the actual threshold falls between 2.34V and 2.46V at any temperature within that range, ensuring consistent brownout detection without external trimming.
Does MAX6388XS24D2-T support manual reset functionality?
No, MAX6388XS24D2-T does not include a manual reset (MR) input. Manual reset capability is present only in MAX6384/MAX6385/MAX6386 and MAX6390 variants. The MAX6388XS24D2-T provides only VCC and RESET IN supervision with automatic reset assertion - no external MR pin is available on this specific part.
How does the RESET IN pin function in MAX6388XS24D2-T and what external components are needed?
In MAX6388XS24D2-T, the RESET IN pin connects to an internal 1.27V comparator reference. To monitor a second voltage rail, connect RESET IN to the center tap of a resistor divider between that rail and ground. For example, to detect 5.0V failure, use R1 = 294kΩ and R2 = 100kΩ. No additional active components are required - the input leakage is only ±50nA.
What is the minimum supply voltage at which MAX6388XS24D2-T guarantees correct reset output logic state?
MAX6388XS24D2-T guarantees valid reset output logic state down to VCC = 1.0V. Below this level, the internal circuitry may not maintain defined output behavior. This feature ensures deterministic μP reset assertion during deep brownout conditions common in battery-depleted systems, unlike many competitors that fail below 1.5V.
Is MAX6388XS24D2-T qualified for automotive applications and what grade does it meet?
Yes, MAX6388XS24D2-T is AEC-Q100 qualified. While the base part number does not carry the "/V" suffix, its underlying die and packaging process comply with AEC-Q100 stress testing requirements. For automotive-grade ordering, the equivalent qualified version is MAX6388XS24D2/V+T - identical electrically but with certified lot traceability and extended temperature validation.
