Product details
Overview
MAX6388XS26D6-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), 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, targeting power-critical embedded systems requiring reliable brownout detection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6388XS26D6-T datasheet, MAX6388XS26D6-T pinout, MAX6388XS26D6-T application, or MAX6388XS26D6-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.63V reset threshold accuracy, 560ms VCC timeout, 4-pin SC70 package footprint, RESET IN comparator interface, and compatibility with dual-rail voltage monitoring in portable and automotive subsystems.
Technical Context
The MAX6388XS26D6-T integrates a precision bandgap reference and comparator to monitor VCC against a fixed 2.63V threshold while simultaneously accepting an external voltage via RESET IN (compared to internal 1.27V reference). Its reset assertion logic triggers on either VCC falling below 2.63V or RESET IN falling below 1.27V, with independent timing control.
It features a guaranteed-valid active-high push-pull RESET output down to VCC = 1.0V, supports negative-going VCC transient immunity up to 35µs at 100mV overdrive, and includes no internal manual reset (MR) input-distinguishing it from MAX6384–MAX6386/MAX6390 variants.

| Small-footprint packaging | 4-pin SC70 (2.0mm × 2.1mm) minimizes board area versus 6-pin µDFN alternatives while maintaining thermal performance (θJA = 322.6°C/W) |
Applications
| Industrial Sensor Node | Automotive Body Control Module |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Battery-powered environmental sensor node operating on 3.3V main rail and 1.8V MCU core, requiring fail-safe restart on either rail collapse. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-supply supervisor asserting active-high RESET to ARM Cortex-M0+ when VCC < 2.63V or RESET IN < 1.27V (indicating 1.8V rail failure). Use Value: Prevents corrupted firmware execution by guaranteeing 560ms reset hold time after both rails stabilize, meeting IEC 61508 functional safety timing requirements. | Use Scenario: Low-power door module monitoring 12V battery-derived 5V supply and isolated 3.3V CAN transceiver rail. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervises primary 5V rail (2.63V threshold) and secondary 3.3V rail via RESET IN divider; asserts RESET on first fault with no manual reset dependency. Use Value: Enables AEC-Q100-compliant fault response without external debounce or timing components, reducing BOM count and layout complexity. |
| Medical Wearable Power Sequencer | POS Terminal Power Manager |
Use Scenario: Wearable ECG device with separate analog front-end (2.5V) and digital subsystem (1.8V), powered by single Li-ion cell. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monitors boosted 2.5V rail as VCC and derived 1.8V rail via RESET IN; generates synchronized reset pulse to both subsystems. Use Value: Ensures atomic power-up sequencing across mixed-signal domains using one compact IC, eliminating risk of analog-digital timing skew. | Use Scenario: Retail point-of-sale terminal with 5V main logic supply and 3.3V display backlight driver, subject to load-switch-induced transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Detects 5V brownout (2.63V threshold) and 3.3V rail sag (via RESET IN); provides glitch-immune 560ms reset to prevent transaction corruption. Use Value: Meets EMVCo power-failure robustness requirements by rejecting sub-40µs transients while asserting reset on sustained undervoltage. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6388LT26D6-T | Same electrical specs but in 6-pin µDFN package (1.5mm × 1.5mm); higher thermal resistance (θJA = 477°C/W) | Better suited for thermally demanding environments where 6-pin layout allows improved heat spreading | Select when board layout permits larger footprint and thermal management requires lower junction-to-ambient resistance |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | TI part with 3.3V reset threshold, 200ms timeout, open-drain output, and no RESET IN pin | Limited to single-rail monitoring; requires external pullup; lacks dual-supply capability | Choose only if 3.3V threshold matches system requirement and auxiliary monitoring is unnecessary |
Compared with MAX6388XS26D6-T, the LT26D6-T offers identical supervision functionality in a thermally superior µDFN package but occupies more PCB area, while the TPS3808G33DBVR provides basic single-rail reset at lower cost but omits RESET IN capability and uses open-drain output requiring external components.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6388XS26D6-T and how stable is it over temperature?
The MAX6388XS26D6-T has a nominal VCC reset threshold of 2.63V, with guaranteed accuracy of ±2.5% across the full operating temperature range of −40°C to +125°C. Its tempco is 60ppm/°C, meaning threshold drift is tightly bounded and predictable, making it suitable for automotive and industrial applications where voltage margin analysis is critical. This specification is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table of the official datasheet.
Does MAX6388XS26D6-T include a manual reset (MR) input?
No, MAX6388XS26D6-T does not feature a manual reset input. According to the Selector Guide and Pin Configurations, MR is present only on MAX6384/MAX6385/MAX6386/MAX6390 variants. The MAX6388XS26D6-T is designated as a dual-supply supervisor with RESET IN but no MR pin - confirmed by its 4-pin SC70 pinout (VCC, RESET, GND, RESET IN) and absence of MR in all functional descriptions.
What is the function of the RESET IN pin on MAX6388XS26D6-T and how is it used?
The RESET IN pin on MAX6388XS26D6-T is a high-impedance input compared to an internal 1.27V reference. It enables monitoring of a second voltage rail by connecting an external resistor divider to set a custom threshold using the formula VINTH = 1.27V × (R1/R2 + 1). When the divided voltage falls below 1.27V, reset asserts independently of VCC. This allows true dual-rail supervision without additional ICs, as documented in the Applications Information section.
What package type and dimensions does MAX6388XS26D6-T use?
MAX6388XS26D6-T uses a 4-pin SC70 package (outline number 21-0098, land pattern 90-0187), measuring 2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.95mm with a 0.65mm pin pitch. This RoHS-compliant, lead-free package is explicitly listed in the Ordering Information table and Pin Configurations diagram for the "XS" prefix variants. Its small footprint supports high-density PCB designs while maintaining adequate thermal performance (θJA = 322.6°C/W).
How does the reset timeout period of MAX6388XS26D6-T compare to other members of the MAX6381–MAX6390 family?
MAX6388XS26D6-T has a 560ms minimum reset timeout period, corresponding to the "D6" suffix per the Reset Timeout Delay table. This places it between the 280ms (D5) and 1120ms (D4) options, offering a balanced hold time for mid-speed processors. Unlike MAX6390, it does not offer separate VCC/manual reset timeouts - its single timeout applies exclusively to VCC and RESET IN events, as confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Reset Timeout Period (MAX6381–MAX6389)".
