Product details
Overview
MAX6388XS26D7-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), 1200ms 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 instrumentation and dual-rail embedded controllers.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6388XS26D7-T datasheet, MAX6388XS26D7-T pinout, MAX6388XS26D7-T application, or MAX6388XS26D7-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.63V threshold accuracy, 1200ms timeout, 4-pin SC70 package, RESET IN comparator interface, and compatibility with systems requiring secondary voltage supervision alongside main VCC monitoring.
Technical Context
The MAX6388XS26D7-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 an internal 1.27V reference. Its reset assertion logic triggers on either VCC falling below 2.63V or RESET IN falling below 1.27V.
It features a guaranteed active-high push-pull RESET output that remains asserted for ≥1200ms after VCC recovers, with no external pullup required. The device operates across -40°C to +125°C and maintains ±2.5% threshold accuracy over full temperature range, supporting automotive-grade reliability without requiring manual reset input.

Applications
| Portable Medical Sensors | Automotive Body Control Modules |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Continuous glucose monitor powered by CR2032 coin cell with dual-rail analog front-end (1.8V) and digital core (3.3V). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervises both rails via VCC (1.8V) and RESET IN (3.3V-derived), asserting active-high RESET until both supplies stabilize for ≥1200ms. Use Value: Prevents firmware execution errors during cold-start and battery sag, leveraging ultra-low 3μA ICC to extend device runtime beyond 2 years. | Use Scenario: Door module with LIN transceiver, MCU, and LED drivers supplied from 5V and 12V-derived 3.3V rails. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monitors 5V main supply (VCC) and 3.3V domain (via RESET IN) to guarantee synchronized reset across mixed-voltage subsystems. Use Value: Eliminates race conditions during ignition-on power-up by enforcing 1200ms minimum reset hold time across all domains. |
| Industrial PLC I/O Cards | Battery-Backed Real-Time Clock Systems |
Use Scenario: DIN-rail mounted I/O card with isolated 24V-to-5V and 5V-to-3.3V converters powering FPGA and communication ICs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Uses VCC to supervise 5V rail and RESET IN to monitor 3.3V FPGA core voltage, triggering unified reset on either fault. Use Value: Ensures deterministic startup sequence across isolation barriers without adding discrete comparators or timing RC networks. | Use Scenario: RTC module backed by supercapacitor, operating from 1.8V backup rail and 3.3V main rail. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: VCC monitors 1.8V backup supply; RESET IN monitors 3.3V main supply - asserts RESET if either drops, guaranteeing clean RTC initialization. Use Value: Maintains timekeeping integrity during main power loss by enabling immediate switchover and preventing partial register writes during brownout. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6388LT26D7-T | Same electrical specs but in 6-pin μDFN package - larger footprint, better thermal performance (θJA = 477°C/W vs. 322.6°C/W) | Suitable for thermally demanding environments or where board space permits larger package | Select when higher power dissipation margin or existing μDFN layout reuse is prioritized over miniaturization |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | TI part with 3.3V threshold, 200ms timeout, open-drain output, and no RESET IN - lacks dual-supply monitoring and longer timeout | Applicable only for single-rail 3.3V systems requiring shorter reset hold time and external pullup | Choose only if 3.3V threshold matches system VCC and dual-monitoring is unnecessary; requires redesign for pullup and timing compliance |
Compared with MAX6388XS26D7-T, the MAX6388LT26D7-T offers identical functionality in a thermally superior but larger package, while the TPS3808G33DBVR provides basic reset supervision at 3.3V without auxiliary monitoring or extended timeout - making it unsuitable for dual-rail or long-hold applications.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6388XS26D7-T and how stable is it over temperature?
The MAX6388XS26D7-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 using a precision bandgap reference and laser-trimmed resistors, ensuring consistent brownout detection without external calibration. The MAX6388XS26D7-T maintains this tolerance across all production units and environmental conditions specified in the datasheet.
Does the MAX6388XS26D7-T require an external pullup resistor on its RESET pin?
No, the MAX6388XS26D7-T features an active-high push-pull RESET output, which actively drives high during reset assertion and actively pulls low when deasserted. This eliminates the need for an external pullup resistor, simplifying BOM and reducing board area. The MAX6388XS26D7-T's output stage is rated to sink/source sufficient current to directly drive standard μP reset inputs without additional components.
Can the MAX6388XS26D7-T monitor two different supply voltages simultaneously?
Yes, the MAX6388XS26D7-T supports dual-supply monitoring: VCC is monitored against its fixed 2.63V threshold, while the RESET IN pin accepts an external voltage compared to an internal 1.27V reference. By connecting a resistor divider to RESET IN, users can configure supervision of a second rail (e.g., 3.3V or 5V). The MAX6388XS26D7-T asserts RESET if either VCC falls below 2.63V or the divided RESET IN voltage drops below 1.27V.
What is the minimum supply voltage at which the MAX6388XS26D7-T guarantees correct RESET output logic state?
The MAX6388XS26D7-T guarantees valid RESET output logic state down to VCC = 1.0V. Below this level, the internal circuitry may not maintain defined behavior, but above 1.0V - including during brownout recovery - the RESET output remains deterministically high or low per its specification. This feature ensures predictable μP reset behavior even during severe supply collapse, a critical requirement in battery-powered and automotive applications.
Is the MAX6388XS26D7-T qualified for automotive applications?
The MAX6388XS26D7-T is not explicitly automotive-qualified; its ordering suffix does not include "/V", which denotes AEC-Q100 qualification in the MAX6381–MAX6390 family. While it operates across -40°C to +125°C and meets industrial reliability standards, automotive use requires verification of qualification status via the specific /V-trim version (e.g., MAX6388XS26D7/V+T). Always consult the official Maxim Integrated (Analog Devices) ordering information for certified automotive variants of the MAX6388XS26D7-T.
