Overview
MAX6388XS24D6-T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with active-high push-pull reset output, factory-set 2.40V ±2.5% VCC reset threshold, and 560ms minimum reset timeout period. It monitors single supply voltage (VCC) and includes auxiliary RESET IN input for dual-voltage monitoring, operating across -40°C to +125°C in 4-pin SC70 package. Used in battery-powered instrumentation and industrial controllers requiring reliable power-on reset.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6388XS24D6-T datasheet, MAX6388XS24D6-T pinout, MAX6388XS24D6-T application, or MAX6388XS24D6-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.40V reset threshold accuracy over temperature, 560ms VCC reset timeout, auxiliary voltage monitoring capability via RESET IN, and guaranteed valid reset output down to VCC = 1V.
Technical Context
The MAX6388XS24D6-T implements a precision bandgap-based reset comparator with ±2.5% threshold accuracy over -40°C to +125°C and 60ppm/°C tempco. Its internal timer generates a fixed 560ms reset assertion window after VCC rises above 2.40V.
It features dual-monitoring architecture: primary VCC detection plus high-impedance RESET IN input referenced to 1.27V internal reference, enabling user-adjustable secondary voltage monitoring via external resistor divider. Reset asserts if either VCC < 2.40V or RESET IN < 1.27V.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6387XS24D6-T | Same 2.40V threshold and 560ms timeout, but open-drain active-low RESET output requiring external pullup | Suitable where system-level reset bus is shared with other open-drain devices (e.g., I²C-style reset networks) | Select MAX6387XS24D6-T only if active-low polarity and open-drain drive are required for bus compatibility |
| TLV809E24DBZR | 2.42V threshold (±1%), 560ms timeout, active-low push-pull, no RESET IN input, 1.6V–6V VCC range | Lacks auxiliary voltage monitoring; suited for single-rail applications with tighter threshold tolerance | Choose TLV809E24DBZR when dual-supply monitoring is unnecessary and ±1% threshold accuracy is prioritized over auxiliary functionality |
Compared with MAX6388XS24D6-T, MAX6387XS24D6-T requires external pullup and active-low logic, while TLV809E24DBZR omits RESET IN entirely - making MAX6388XS24D6-T the only option supporting active-high push-pull reset with dual-rail supervision in this performance tier.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6388XS24D6-T and how does it vary with temperature?
The MAX6388XS24D6-T has a factory-set nominal reset threshold of 2.40V, with guaranteed accuracy of ±2.5% over the full operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C. This means the actual threshold remains between 2.34V and 2.46V across temperature extremes. The device exhibits a tempco of 60ppm/°C, contributing minimally to drift within the specified tolerance band. This precision eliminates need for external calibration in MAX6388XS24D6-T designs.
Does the MAX6388XS24D6-T support monitoring of a second voltage rail, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the MAX6388XS24D6-T supports dual-voltage monitoring via its dedicated RESET IN pin, which connects to an internal 1.27V reference comparator. To monitor a second rail (e.g., 3.3V I/O supply), an external resistor divider scales the target voltage to match the 1.27V threshold. Reset asserts if either VCC falls below 2.40V or the divided RESET IN voltage drops below 1.27V. This feature is confirmed in the Pin Description and Typical Operating Circuit sections of the MAX6388XS24D6-T datasheet.
What is the function of the RESET output on the MAX6388XS24D6-T, and what drive capability does it provide?
The RESET output of the MAX6388XS24D6-T is an active-high push-pull driver, meaning it actively drives high during reset assertion and low otherwise - no external pullup resistor is needed. It sources up to 800µA at VCC ≥ 4.5V and sinks up to 3.2mA, ensuring robust interfacing with standard CMOS inputs. The output remains valid down to VCC = 1V, guaranteeing deterministic behavior even during deep brownout conditions in the MAX6388XS24D6-T.
How does the MAX6388XS24D6-T handle short negative transients on the VCC line?
The MAX6388XS24D6-T provides built-in immunity to short negative-going VCC transients, rejecting pulses ≤35µs in duration when the overdrive (VTH – VCC) is ≥100mV. This is achieved through internal filtering and comparator hysteresis. For enhanced immunity, a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor placed close to the VCC pin is recommended. This transient rejection capability prevents spurious resets in electrically noisy environments where the MAX6388XS24D6-T is deployed.
Is the MAX6388XS24D6-T qualified for automotive applications, and what package options are available?
The MAX6388XS24D6-T is offered in a lead-free, RoHS-compliant 4-pin SC70 package (outline 21-0098) and is rated for -40°C to +125°C operation. While the base part is not explicitly AEC-Q100 qualified, the MAX6388XS24D6-T datasheet references /V automotive-grade variants in the Ordering Information table, indicating qualification path availability. Customers requiring automotive compliance should specify the /V suffix version (e.g., MAX6388XS24D6/V+T) for certified parts.
