Product details
Overview
MAX6388XS25D6-T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with active-high push-pull reset output, factory-set 2.50V VCC reset threshold (±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C), 560ms 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, enabling reliable power-up/brownout detection in space-constrained battery-powered systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6388XS25D6-T datasheet, MAX6388XS25D6-T pinout, MAX6388XS25D6-T application, or MAX6388XS25D6-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.50V reset threshold accuracy, 560ms VCC timeout, dual-supply monitoring capability via RESET IN, and 4-pin SC70 package compatibility with manual-reset–free designs requiring auxiliary voltage supervision.
Technical Context
The MAX6388XS25D6-T integrates a precision bandgap reference and comparator to monitor VCC against a fixed 2.50V threshold while simultaneously comparing an external voltage at RESET IN to a 1.27V internal reference. Its reset assertion logic triggers on either VCC falling below 2.50V or RESET IN falling below 1.27V, with independent timing control ensuring deterministic behavior during power transients.
It features a dedicated high-impedance RESET IN terminal with ≤50nA leakage, enabling accurate resistor-divider–based threshold setting for secondary supplies, and guarantees valid reset output state down to VCC = 1.0V - critical for ultra-low-voltage brownout recovery in modern embedded controllers.
Key Specifications

| 2 | RESET | Active-high push-pull output; drives high during reset assertion and low otherwise; compatible with standard μP reset inputs |
| 3 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference; must be connected to system ground plane for accurate threshold comparison |
| 4 | RESET IN | Auxiliary voltage monitor input; high-impedance node compared to 1.27V internal reference; enables dual-rail supervision |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-supply monitoring capability | Simultaneous VCC and RESET IN supervision ensures robust fault detection in multi-rail systems like SoC platforms with separate core/I/O supplies |
| Factory-trimmed 2.50V reset threshold | Eliminates external component count and calibration effort while maintaining ±2.5% accuracy over full industrial temperature range |
| 560ms guaranteed reset timeout | Meets μP reset hold-time requirements for complex boot sequences without external timing components |
| 1.27V internal reference for RESET IN | Enables accurate, temperature-stable secondary threshold setting using only two external resistors |
| Valid reset output down to VCC = 1.0V | Ensures deterministic reset behavior during deep undervoltage conditions where many supervisors fail |
Applications
| Power-Supply Sequencing in Dual-Rail SoCs | Battery-Powered Medical Sensors |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6387XS25D6-T | Same 2.50V threshold, 560ms timeout, and RESET IN input, but features open-drain active-low RESET output requiring external pullup | Suitable when system requires active-low reset signaling or level translation to higher-voltage logic | Select MAX6387XS25D6-T only if active-low assertion and external pullup are acceptable; otherwise MAX6388XS25D6-T provides simpler interface |
| TLV803EB25DBZR | 2.5V threshold, 200ms timeout, no RESET IN; SOT-23-3 package; ±1.5% threshold accuracy; 0.5μA typical ICC | Targeted at cost-sensitive, single-rail applications where auxiliary monitoring is unnecessary and shorter timeout suffices | Choose TLV803EB25DBZR for minimal footprint and ultra-low current in basic reset-only use cases; MAX6388XS25D6-T adds dual-rail capability and longer timeout |
Compared with MAX6387XS25D6-T, MAX6388XS25D6-T simplifies system design by eliminating the external pullup resistor and supporting direct μP reset input connection; versus TLV803EB25DBZR, it delivers extended supervision functionality (dual-rail monitoring, longer timeout) at the cost of slightly higher quiescent current and larger package.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6388XS25D6-T and how stable is it over temperature?
The MAX6388XS25D6-T has a factory-set VCC reset threshold of 2.50V, specified with ±2.5% accuracy over the full –40°C to +125°C operating range. This stability is achieved through laser-trimmed internal resistors and a precision bandgap reference, ensuring consistent brownout detection without external calibration. The MAX6388XS25D6-T maintains this accuracy even under fast VCC transients, making it suitable for automotive and industrial environments.
Does MAX6388XS25D6-T support monitoring a second voltage, and how is it implemented?
Yes, MAX6388XS25D6-T supports dual-voltage monitoring via its dedicated RESET IN pin, which compares an external voltage to a stable 1.27V internal reference. To set a custom threshold, connect a resistor divider between the secondary supply and ground, with the midpoint fed to RESET IN. The MAX6388XS25D6-T asserts reset if either VCC falls below 2.50V or the voltage at RESET IN drops below 1.27V - enabling coordinated supervision of core and I/O rails in SoC designs.
What is the reset output configuration of MAX6388XS25D6-T and what are its drive capabilities?
The MAX6388XS25D6-T features an active-high push-pull RESET output capable of sourcing up to 800µA at VCC ≥ 4.5V and sinking up to 3.2mA when asserted. Its VOH remains ≥ 0.8 × VCC and VOL stays ≤ 0.4V across the full 1.0V–5.5V supply range, ensuring compatibility with standard CMOS and TTL reset inputs. Unlike open-drain alternatives, the MAX6388XS25D6-T requires no external pullup resistor, simplifying layout and reducing BOM count.
How does MAX6388XS25D6-T handle power supply transients, and what protection does it offer?
The MAX6388XS25D6-T provides inherent immunity to short-duration negative-going VCC transients (glitches), tolerating pulses up to ~350ns wide when the overdrive is 100mV below the 2.50V threshold. This is achieved through internal filtering and comparator hysteresis. For enhanced robustness, placing a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor close to the VCC pin further suppresses high-frequency noise - a design practice validated in Maxim's application notes for MAX6388XS25D6-T in automotive and industrial settings.
Is MAX6388XS25D6-T qualified for automotive applications, and what packaging options are available?
Yes, MAX6388XS25D6-T is offered in an AEC-Q100 qualified version denoted by the "/V" suffix in ordering codes (e.g., MAX6388XS25D6/V+T). The standard MAX6388XS25D6-T uses a lead-free, RoHS-compliant 4-pin SC70 package (2.0mm × 2.1mm), optimized for thermal performance and high-density placement. It is not available in 3-pin or 6-pin variants - the 4-pin SC70 is the only package for this specific reset threshold and timeout combination.
