Product details
Overview
MAX6388XS25D7-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), 1200ms minimum VCC 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, targeting power-critical embedded systems requiring reliable brownout detection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6388XS25D7-T datasheet, MAX6388XS25D7-T pinout, MAX6388XS25D7-T application, or MAX6388XS25D7-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.50V reset threshold accuracy, 1200ms timeout, 4-pin SC70 package, auxiliary voltage monitoring capability, and guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 1V.
Technical Context
The MAX6388XS25D7-T integrates a precision bandgap reference and comparator to monitor VCC against a fixed 2.50V threshold, while a separate internal 1.27V reference compares the external RESET IN pin voltage. Reset assertion occurs if either VCC < 2.50V or RESET IN < 1.27V, with independent timing control ensuring 1200ms minimum deassertion delay after recovery.
Its 4-pin SC70 package contains VCC, GND, RESET (active-high push-pull), and RESET IN terminals - omitting MR (manual reset) found in MAX6384–MAX6386/MAX6390, and excluding NC pins present in 6-pin μDFN variants. The device guarantees correct logic state of RESET output down to VCC = 1V, enabling robust operation during deep brownout conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Reset Threshold | 2.50V ±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C - ensures consistent brownout detection across automotive/industrial temperature range |
| Reset Timeout Period | 1200ms min - provides sufficient hold time for microprocessor initialization after power recovery |
| RESET Output Type | Active-high push-pull - eliminates need for external pullup resistor and supports direct interface to CMOS/TTL inputs |
| Auxiliary Input | RESET IN with 1.27V threshold - enables monitoring of second supply rail (e.g., I/O voltage) via external resistor divider |
| Supply Current | 3μA at VCC = 1.8V - minimizes quiescent load in battery-powered or energy-harvesting applications |
| Operating Voltage Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - supports valid reset assertion even during severe undervoltage conditions |
| Reset Propagation Delay | 4.5µs max (RESET IN to RESET) - ensures fast response to secondary supply faults |
Pinout & Package
MAX6388XS25D7-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, optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VCC | Primary supply input | Monitored voltage source; powers internal circuitry and sets operating point for reset comparator |
| 2 - RESET | Active-high push-pull output | Drives high during normal operation; asserts low only during reset condition - directly interfaces to µP /RESET pin without external components |
| 3 - GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all internal current paths and comparator references |
| 4 - RESET IN | Auxiliary voltage monitor input | High-impedance node compared to internal 1.27V reference; used with external resistor divider to set custom secondary reset threshold |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-supply monitoring capability | Simultaneous VCC and RESET IN monitoring enables coordinated reset for core/I/O rail sequencing in dual-voltage systems |
| Factory-trimmed reset threshold | 2.50V ±2.5% tolerance eliminates need for external calibration or trimming components |
| Negative-going VCC transient immunity | Withstands short-duration supply glitches without false triggering - validated up to 150µs at 100mV overdrive |
| Guaranteed operation down to VCC = 1V | Ensures deterministic reset behavior during deep brownout, critical for fail-safe system recovery |
| Low-temperature coefficient | 60ppm/°C reset threshold drift - maintains accuracy across wide industrial temperature range (-40°C to +125°C) |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Controller | Automotive Body Control Module |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Monitors 2.5V core supply and 3.3V I/O rail in a CAN-connected controller subjected to engine cranking transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-threshold supervisor asserting reset when either rail drops below specification, with 1200ms timeout ensuring full MCU reinitialization after voltage recovery.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6388LT25D7-T | Same electrical specs but in 6-pin μDFN package (L611+1); includes NC pins not present in SC70 variant | Requires different PCB footprint and land pattern (90-0080 vs. 90-0187); higher thermal resistance (θJA = 477°C/W) | Select when board layout accommodates larger package or when μDFN thermal performance is preferred despite size penalty |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 2.93V reset threshold (not 2.50V); 200ms default timeout (adjustable via capacitor); no auxiliary RESET IN input | Lacks dual-supply monitoring capability; requires external timing capacitor; incompatible pinout and reset polarity (active-low) | Choose only if 2.93V threshold aligns with system requirements and auxiliary monitoring is unnecessary |
Compared with MAX6388LT25D7-T, the MAX6388XS25D7-T offers identical supervision functionality in a 35% smaller footprint, while the TPS3808G33DBVR lacks RESET IN capability and requires design changes to accommodate different threshold, timeout method, and output polarity - making MAX6388XS25D7-T the optimal choice for compact dual-rail systems needing factory-set 2.50V detection.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6388XS25D7-T and how accurate is it over temperature?
The MAX6388XS25D7-T has a factory-set VCC reset threshold of 2.50V, with guaranteed accuracy of ±2.5% over the full operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C. This specification is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table of the official datasheet, and the device uses laser-trimmed internal references to achieve this stability without external components.
Does MAX6388XS25D7-T support monitoring of a second voltage rail, and how is it implemented?
Yes, MAX6388XS25D7-T supports dual-voltage monitoring via its dedicated RESET IN pin, which compares an external voltage to an internal 1.27V reference. To monitor a second rail (e.g., 3.3V), connect a resistor divider between that rail and ground, with the midpoint fed to RESET IN - the threshold is set using R1 = R2 × ((VINTH/1.27V) − 1), as specified in the MAX6388XS25D7-T datasheet.
What is the function and electrical behavior of the RESET output on MAX6388XS25D7-T?
The RESET output of MAX6388XS25D7-T is an active-high push-pull driver. During normal operation (VCC ≥ 2.50V and RESET IN ≥ 1.27V), it drives high (VOH ≥ 0.8×VCC). When either monitored voltage falls below its threshold, RESET immediately pulls low and remains low for the full 1200ms timeout period after recovery - guaranteeing valid logic levels down to VCC = 1V per the MAX6388XS25D7-T datasheet.
Is MAX6388XS25D7-T compatible with manual reset functionality, and what are the implications if MR is required?
No, MAX6388XS25D7-T does not include a manual reset (MR) input - this feature is present only in MAX6384/MAX6385/MAX6386/MAX6390 variants. If system-level manual reset is required, the MAX6388XS25D7-T cannot fulfill that function; alternative parts such as MAX6385XS25D7-T (same threshold/timing, added MR pin) must be selected, as confirmed by the Selector Guide and Pin Configurations in the MAX6388XS25D7-T documentation.
What package type and dimensions does MAX6388XS25D7-T use, and are there thermal considerations?
MAX6388XS25D7-T uses a 4-pin SC70 package (outline 21-0098), measuring 2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.95mm with a 0.65mm pin pitch. Its thermal resistance is θJA = 322.6°C/W on a multilayer board. This package enables high-density placement but requires attention to local copper area and airflow in thermally constrained environments, as detailed in the Package Information section of the MAX6388XS25D7-T datasheet.
