Product details
Overview
MAX6388XS26D5-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), 280ms 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 MAX6388XS26D5-T datasheet, MAX6388XS26D5-T pinout, MAX6388XS26D5-T application, or MAX6388XS26D5-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.63V reset threshold accuracy, 280ms VCC timeout, 4-pin SC70 package footprint, dual-supply monitoring capability via RESET IN, and guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 1V.
Technical Context
The MAX6388XS26D5-T integrates a precision voltage comparator for VCC monitoring against a fixed 2.63V threshold and a separate +1.27V reference comparator for the RESET IN pin, enabling independent supervision of two power rails. Its internal timer ensures reset assertion for ≥280ms 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 low after timeout, eliminating need for external pullup. The device guarantees correct logic state for VCC ≥ 1V and provides immunity to negative-going VCC transients up to 100mV overdrive with duration <10µs.
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 | 280ms minimum - provides sufficient hold time for microprocessor initialization after power recovery |
| Supply Current | 3μA at +1.8V - enables multi-year battery life in portable equipment |
| Operating Voltage Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - supports operation down to near-dead-battery levels while interfacing with 3.3V/5V logic |
| RESET Output Type | Active-high push-pull - eliminates external pullup resistor and simplifies interface to μP reset inputs |
| Auxiliary Input | RESET IN pin with +1.27V internal reference - allows user-defined second threshold via resistor divider for dual-rail monitoring |
| Reset Validity Range | Guaranteed down to VCC = 1V - ensures deterministic reset behavior during deep undervoltage conditions |
Pinout & Package
MAX6388XS26D5-T is housed in a RoHS-compliant 4-pin SC70 package (outline 21-0098), measuring 2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.95mm, optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | Main supply input and primary voltage monitor rail - powers internal circuitry and triggers reset when below 2.63V |
| 2 | RESET | Active-high push-pull output - drives high during reset assertion; sinks current when deasserted low |
| 3 | GND | Ground reference for all internal comparators and output stage - must be low-impedance connection |
| 4 | RESET IN | Auxiliary voltage monitor input - compared to +1.27V internal reference; asserts reset if voltage falls below threshold |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6388LT26D5-T | Same electrical specs but in 6-pin μDFN package (1.5mm × 2.0mm) instead of 4-pin SC70 - larger footprint, better thermal dissipation | Suitable for higher ambient temperature designs (>105°C) where SC70 thermal resistance (322.6°C/W) may limit reliability | Select when board layout allows larger package and thermal margin is critical; not pin-compatible with MAX6388XS26D5-T |
| TLV803EB26DBVR | 2.63V threshold, 280ms timeout, but active-low open-drain output - requires external pullup resistor and different MCU interface logic | Used in legacy designs where active-low reset is standard; lacks RESET IN pin for dual-rail monitoring | Choose only if redesigning for cost reduction and dual-supply monitoring is unnecessary; requires PCB change for pullup and logic inversion |
Compared with MAX6388LT26D5-T, the MAX6388XS26D5-T offers superior board-area efficiency in compact consumer devices, while TLV803EB26DBVR trades dual-monitoring capability for lower unit cost in single-rail applications where active-low reset is acceptable.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6388XS26D5-T and how stable is it over temperature?
The MAX6388XS26D5-T has a factory-set nominal reset threshold of 2.63V, with guaranteed accuracy of ±2.5% over the full operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C. This stability is achieved through laser-trimming during production and confirmed by the ±60ppm/°C tempco specification, making it suitable for automotive and industrial applications where voltage reference drift must be minimized.
Does MAX6388XS26D5-T support monitoring of two independent power supplies?
Yes, the MAX6388XS26D5-T supports dual-supply monitoring: VCC is monitored against its fixed 2.63V threshold, while the RESET IN pin compares an external voltage to an internal +1.27V reference. When either input falls below its respective threshold, the active-high RESET output asserts, enabling coordinated reset for multi-rail systems like SoCs with separate core and I/O supplies.
What is the function of the RESET IN pin on MAX6388XS26D5-T and how is its threshold set?
The RESET IN pin on MAX6388XS26D5-T connects to a dedicated comparator referenced to +1.27V. To monitor a custom voltage (e.g., 3.3V), use a resistor divider: R1 from supply to RESET IN, R2 from RESET IN to GND. Calculate R1 = R2 × ((VTH/1.27V) − 1). With ≤50nA input leakage, high-value resistors (e.g., 100kΩ/39kΩ) maintain accuracy without loading the source.
Can MAX6388XS26D5-T operate reliably when VCC drops below 1.8V?
Yes, the MAX6388XS26D5-T guarantees correct reset output logic state down to VCC = 1.0V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. At 1.0V, it maintains active-high reset assertion during undervoltage and transitions cleanly after recovery, enabling fail-safe operation in deep brownout scenarios common in battery-backed systems.
What package type and dimensions does MAX6388XS26D5-T use, and is it RoHS-compliant?
The MAX6388XS26D5-T uses a 4-pin SC70 package (outline 21-0098) measuring 2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.95mm with gull-wing leads. The "+T" suffix confirms it is lead(Pb)-free and RoHS-compliant. Its thermal resistance is θJA = 322.6°C/W on a multilayer board, making it suitable for compact, thermally constrained designs.
