Product details
Overview
MAX6388XS24D4-T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power, dual-voltage 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), 1120ms minimum VCC reset timeout, and auxiliary RESET IN input for monitoring a second voltage source. 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 MAX6388XS24D4-T datasheet, MAX6388XS24D4-T pinout, MAX6388XS24D4-T application, or MAX6388XS24D4-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.40V reset threshold accuracy, dual-monitoring capability via RESET IN, guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 1V, and compatibility with 4-pin SC70 layouts requiring minimal PCB real estate.
Technical Context
The MAX6388XS24D4-T integrates two independent voltage comparators: one monitors VCC against a precision 2.40V internal reference, while the other compares an external voltage applied to RESET IN against a fixed 1.27V internal reference. Reset asserts when either monitored voltage falls below its respective threshold.
An internal timer enforces a guaranteed minimum 1120ms reset assertion period after VCC recovers above 2.40V, and the device guarantees correct logic state of the active-high push-pull RESET output down to VCC = 1V - critical for deterministic system initialization during deep brownout conditions.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6388LT24D4-T | Same electrical specs but in 6-pin μDFN (L611+1) instead of 4-pin SC70; higher thermal resistance (θJA = 477°C/W vs. 322.6°C/W) | Preferred for thermally demanding applications with PCB space for larger package; not pin-compatible with SC70 layout | Select when board layout allows μDFN and thermal performance requires lower junction temperature rise |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | TI part with 3.3V reset threshold (not 2.40V); 200ms timeout (not 1120ms); no RESET IN input; 1.8V–6.5V operating range | Suitable for single-rail 3.3V systems without auxiliary monitoring needs; lacks dual-voltage supervision capability | Choose only if 3.3V threshold and shorter timeout meet system requirements and RESET IN functionality is unnecessary |
Compared with MAX6388LT24D4-T, the MAX6388XS24D4-T offers smaller PCB footprint and better thermal performance in SC70, while TPS3808G33DBVR provides alternate vendor sourcing but sacrifices dual-monitoring and long-reset-timing capabilities essential for safety-critical brownout recovery.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6388XS24D4-T and how stable is it over temperature?
The MAX6388XS24D4-T has a factory-set VCC reset threshold of 2.40V with ±2.5% accuracy over the full –40°C to +125°C operating temperature range. This stability is achieved through laser-trimmed internal references and BiCMOS process design, ensuring consistent brownout detection without external calibration across automotive and industrial environments. The MAX6388XS24D4-T maintains this tolerance without drift or hysteresis degradation over lifetime.
Does MAX6388XS24D4-T support monitoring of a second voltage rail, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the MAX6388XS24D4-T includes a dedicated RESET IN pin that compares an external voltage to a precision 1.27V internal reference. To monitor a second rail (e.g., 5V or 3.3V), connect a resistor divider from that rail to RESET IN so the divided voltage equals 1.27V at the desired trip point. The MAX6388XS24D4-T asserts reset if either VCC < 2.40V or RESET IN < 1.27V, enabling true dual-supply fault detection without additional ICs.
What is the reset timeout duration for MAX6388XS24D4-T, and is it configurable?
The MAX6388XS24D4-T provides a fixed minimum reset timeout of 1120ms after VCC rises above 2.40V. This value is factory-programmed and non-configurable - it is encoded in the "D4" suffix of the part number per Maxim's ordering guide. The timeout is guaranteed over temperature and supply voltage, eliminating timing uncertainty in critical boot sequences. No external capacitors or resistors are required to set or adjust the MAX6388XS24D4-T timeout.
Can MAX6388XS24D4-T operate reliably at very low supply voltages, and what is the minimum functional VCC?
Yes, the MAX6388XS24D4-T guarantees correct logic state of its active-high push-pull RESET output down to VCC = 1.0V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. This ensures deterministic reset behavior during deep brownout events where supply collapses gradually. Below 1.0V, the device ceases operation, but the MAX6388XS24D4-T has already asserted reset and held it valid throughout the critical sub-1.8V region where most MCUs lose internal state integrity.
Is MAX6388XS24D4-T pin-compatible with legacy Maxim reset ICs like MAX809 or MAX6326?
No, the MAX6388XS24D4-T is not pin-compatible with MAX809/MAX6326 series. While the datasheet notes functional similarity and cross-reference capability, the MAX6388XS24D4-T uses a 4-pin SC70 package with pinout VCC–RESET–GND–RESET IN, whereas MAX809 (3-pin SOT23) and MAX6326 (4-pin SOT143) have different pin assignments and lack the RESET IN function. Migration requires PCB layout revision to accommodate the MAX6388XS24D4-T's dedicated auxiliary input.
