Product details
Overview
MAX6388XS26D1-T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with active-high push-pull reset output, factory-set 2.63V VCC reset threshold (±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C), 1ms 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, targeting power-sensitive embedded systems requiring reliable brownout detection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6388XS26D1-T datasheet, MAX6388XS26D1-T pinout, MAX6388XS26D1-T application, or MAX6388XS26D1-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.63V reset threshold accuracy, 1ms reset timeout, 4-pin SC70 package footprint, dual-supply monitoring capability via RESET IN, and guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 1V.
Technical Context
The MAX6388XS26D1-T integrates a precision voltage comparator for VCC monitoring against a factory-trimmed 2.63V threshold and a separate high-impedance RESET IN comparator referenced to 1.27V, enabling user-defined secondary voltage supervision via external resistor divider. Its internal timer ensures reset assertion for ≥1ms after VCC or RESET IN recovers above their respective thresholds.
It features an active-high push-pull RESET output that drives high during fault conditions and deasserts cleanly upon recovery, eliminating need for external pullup. The device guarantees correct logic state of RESET down to VCC = 1V and provides immunity to negative-going VCC transients up to 100mV overdrive with ≤35µs duration.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Reset Threshold | 2.63V nominal, ±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C - ensures accurate brownout detection across automotive/industrial temperature range |
| Reset Timeout Period | 1ms minimum - provides sufficient hold time for microprocessor initialization without excessive system delay |
| Supply Current | 3μA at +1.8V - enables use in battery-powered or ultra-low-power systems with minimal quiescent load |
| RESET Output Type | Active-high push-pull - eliminates external pullup resistor, simplifies board layout and reduces BOM count |

| Operating Voltage Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - guarantees functional reset assertion even during deep brownout conditions |
| Reset Assertion Delay | 35µs max for VCC falling at 10mV/µs - ensures fast response to rapid supply collapse |
Pinout & Package
MAX6388XS26D1-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 PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | Main supply input and primary voltage monitor point; powers internal circuitry and feeds VCC reset comparator |
| 2 | RESET | Active-high push-pull reset output; drives high during fault and returns low after timeout - no external pullup required |
| 3 | GND | Ground reference for all internal comparators, timers, and output stage; must be low-impedance connection |
| 4 | RESET IN | Auxiliary high-impedance input to secondary comparator; accepts divided voltage for custom reset threshold setting |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-supply monitoring capability | Simultaneous VCC and RESET IN supervision enables robust power sequencing in multi-rail systems like SoC platforms |
| Factory-trimmed reset threshold | 2.63V ±2.5% over full temperature range eliminates need for external calibration or trimming components |
| Guaranteed operation down to VCC = 1V | Ensures valid reset signaling during severe brownout, preventing undefined μP states before complete power loss |
| Negative-going transient immunity | Withstands VCC glitches ≤35µs wide at 100mV overdrive - reduces false resets in electrically noisy environments |
| Low-quiescent-current design | 3μA at 1.8V allows integration into always-on subsystems without compromising battery life or thermal budget |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6388LT26D1-T | Same electrical specs but in 6-pin µDFN package (1.5mm × 1.5mm) instead of 4-pin SC70 | Better thermal performance (θJA = 477°C/W vs. 322.6°C/W) and higher power dissipation margin (167.7mW vs. 245mW) | Select when board layout allows larger footprint and thermal management is critical |
| MAX6385XS26D1-T | Identical 4-pin SC70 package and 2.63V/1ms specs, but includes debounced manual reset (MR) input | Supports operator-initiated reset via pushbutton; MR has internal 63kΩ pullup and 1µs minimum pulse width | Choose when field-serviceable manual reset functionality is required alongside dual-supply monitoring |
Compared with MAX6388XS26D1-T, the LT version offers superior thermal handling in µDFN but requires more PCB area, while the XS26D1 variant with MR adds system-level debug capability at no cost to core supervision performance.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6388XS26D1-T and how stable is it over temperature?
The MAX6388XS26D1-T has a factory-set VCC reset threshold of 2.63V nominal, with guaranteed accuracy of ±2.5% over the full -40°C to +125°C operating range. This stability is achieved through laser trimming during production and supported by a low 60ppm/°C tempco, making it suitable for automotive and industrial applications where supply voltage margins are tight.
Does the MAX6388XS26D1-T support monitoring of a second voltage rail, and if so, how is it implemented?
Yes, the MAX6388XS26D1-T includes a dedicated RESET IN input that connects to an internal comparator referenced to 1.27V. To monitor a second voltage, apply a scaled version of that rail to RESET IN using a resistor divider - for example, to set a 3.3V threshold, use R1/R2 ≈ 1.60 based on VINTH = 1.27V × (R1/R2 + 1). The input leakage is only ±1nA, preserving accuracy with standard resistor values.
What is the function of the RESET output on the MAX6388XS26D1-T, and what drive strength does it provide?
The RESET output of the MAX6388XS26D1-T is an active-high push-pull driver. It asserts high during reset conditions (VCC or RESET IN below threshold) and deasserts low after the 1ms timeout. It sources up to 800µA at VCC ≥ 4.5V (VOH ≥ 0.8×VCC) and sinks up to 3.2mA (VOL ≤ 0.4V), eliminating need for external pullup resistors and ensuring robust interfacing with modern microcontrollers.
Can the MAX6388XS26D1-T operate reliably at very low supply voltages, and what is its minimum functional VCC?
Yes, the MAX6388XS26D1-T is guaranteed to maintain valid RESET output logic states down to VCC = 1.0V. Its internal circuitry remains functional across the full 1.0V to 5.5V operating range, and the reset comparator continues to assert correctly even during deep brownout - a critical feature for battery-powered devices nearing end-of-life.
Is the MAX6388XS26D1-T qualified for automotive applications, and what package options support this qualification?
The MAX6388XS26D1-T itself is not automotive-qualified; however, the /V automotive-grade variants (e.g., MAX6388XS26D1/V+T) are AEC-Q100 qualified and share identical electrical specifications. These /V versions are offered in both 4-pin SC70 and 6-pin µDFN packages and undergo additional stress testing for temperature cycling, humidity, and vibration per automotive standards.
