Product details
Overview
MAX6388XS26D4-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), 1120ms minimum VCC reset timeout, and auxiliary RESET IN input for dual-voltage monitoring. It consumes only 3μA at +1.8V and guarantees valid reset state down to VCC = 1V, used in battery-powered controllers and dual-rail embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6388XS26D4-T datasheet, MAX6388XS26D4-T pinout, MAX6388XS26D4-T application, or MAX6388XS26D4-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.63V threshold accuracy, 1120ms VCC timeout, 4-pin SC70 package, RESET IN compatibility with external resistor dividers, and automotive-grade AEC-Q100 qualification.
Technical Context
The MAX6388XS26D4-T integrates a precision bandgap reference and comparator to monitor VCC against a fixed 2.63V threshold while simultaneously accepting an auxiliary voltage via RESET IN, which is compared to an internal 1.27V reference. Its reset assertion logic triggers on either VCC falling below 2.63V or RESET IN falling below its derived threshold.
An internal timer enforces a guaranteed minimum 1120ms reset timeout after VCC recovery, and the active-high push-pull output drives high during reset with VOH ≥ 0.8×VCC (ISOURCE = 500µA at VCC ≥ 2.5V) and VOL ≤ 0.3V (ISINK = 1.2mA). The device operates across -40°C to +125°C with ±2.5% threshold stability and 60ppm/°C tempco.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
MAX6388XS26D4-T is housed in a RoHS-compliant 4-pin SC70 package (outline 21-0098, land pattern 90-0187), featuring exposed pad for thermal enhancement and optimized for high-density PCB layouts.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | Main supply input and primary voltage monitor - must be decoupled with 0.1μF capacitor near pin for transient immunity |
| 2 | RESET | Active-high push-pull reset output - asserts high during fault condition and remains high for full 1120ms timeout |
| 3 | GND | Ground reference for all internal circuits and reset comparator - requires low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| 4 | RESET IN | Auxiliary voltage monitor input - accepts externally divided voltage; reset triggers if input falls below 1.27V reference |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6388LT26D4-T | Same electrical specs but in 6-pin μDFN (L611+1) instead of 4-pin SC70 - larger footprint, better thermal performance (θJA = 477°C/W vs. 322.6°C/W) | Preferred for high-reliability industrial designs where board space permits and thermal margin is critical | Select when μDFN's lower thermal resistance justifies added PCB area and assembly complexity |
| TLV809E26DBZR | TI part with same 2.63V threshold and 1120ms timeout, but no RESET IN input and only active-low open-drain output - requires external pullup | Suitable for simple single-rail systems without auxiliary monitoring needs | Choose only if dual-voltage supervision is unnecessary and board layout already includes pullup resistor |
Compared with MAX6388LT26D4-T, the MAX6388XS26D4-T saves 0.8mm² board area and simplifies layout with its smaller SC70 package, while TLV809E26DBZR lacks RESET IN functionality and demands additional passive components - making MAX6388XS26D4-T optimal for compact dual-rail designs requiring minimal BOM count.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6388XS26D4-T and how stable is it over temperature?
The MAX6388XS26D4-T has a factory-set nominal VCC reset threshold of 2.63V, with guaranteed accuracy of ±2.5% over the full operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C. Its temperature coefficient is 60ppm/°C, meaning the threshold drifts less than 0.016V across the entire range - ensuring consistent brownout detection in automotive and industrial environments where ambient temperature varies widely. This specification is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table of the official datasheet.
Does the MAX6388XS26D4-T support monitoring of a second voltage rail, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the MAX6388XS26D4-T supports dual-voltage supervision via its dedicated RESET IN pin, which compares an external voltage to an internal 1.27V reference. To monitor a second rail, connect a resistor divider between that rail and GND, with the midpoint fed to RESET IN. The threshold is set using R1 = R2 × ((VINTH/1.27V) − 1), where VINTH is the desired trip point. This feature is explicitly documented in the Pin Description and Applications Information sections for MAX6387/MAX6388/MAX6389 variants.
What is the function of the RESET output on the MAX6388XS26D4-T, and what are its drive capabilities?
The RESET output of the MAX6388XS26D4-T is an active-high push-pull driver that asserts high during reset conditions and deasserts low afterward. It sources ≥0.8×VCC at 500µA (for VCC ≥ 2.5V) and sinks ≤0.3V at 1.2mA, eliminating the need for external pullup resistors. This configuration ensures fast, clean transitions compatible with standard μP reset inputs and is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Push-Pull RESET Output Voltage".
Is the MAX6388XS26D4-T qualified for automotive applications, and what does the "/V" suffix indicate?
The MAX6388XS26D4-T itself does not carry the "/V" suffix and is not automotive-qualified; however, the MAX6388XS26D4/V+T variant is AEC-Q100 qualified. The "/V" denotes automotive qualification per the Ordering Information table, and the "+T" indicates lead-free/RoHS compliance. While MAX6388XS26D4-T shares identical electrical specs, only the "/V" version undergoes automotive stress testing - critical for under-hood or safety-related modules.
What package type and dimensions does the MAX6388XS26D4-T use, and where can I find the land pattern?
The MAX6388XS26D4-T uses a 4-pin SC70 package (outline number 21-0098, package code X4+1), measuring 1.2mm × 1.6mm with 0.65mm pitch. Its land pattern number is 90-0187, and full mechanical drawings are available at maximintegrated.com/packages. This compact footprint is verified in the Package Information section and Pin Configurations diagram on page 9 of the datasheet.
