Product details
Overview
MAX6388XS27D2-T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with active-high push-pull reset output, factory-set 2.70V VCC reset threshold (±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C), 20ms minimum reset timeout, and auxiliary RESET IN input for dual-voltage monitoring. It consumes only 3μA at +1.8V and operates down to VCC = 1.0V, serving in battery-powered embedded systems requiring reliable power-on reset and brownout protection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6388XS27D2-T datasheet, MAX6388XS27D2-T pinout, MAX6388XS27D2-T application, or MAX6388XS27D2-T equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, package mapping, functional context for dual-supply monitoring, and validated alternative options - all grounded in Maxim's official documentation for the exact part number.
Technical Context
The MAX6388XS27D2-T integrates a precision voltage comparator monitoring VCC against a fixed 2.70V threshold and a second high-impedance comparator on the RESET IN pin referenced to +1.27V. It asserts an active-high push-pull RESET signal when either voltage falls below its respective threshold.
A built-in timer guarantees a minimum 20ms reset assertion after VCC or RESET IN recovers, with guaranteed logic-state validity down to VCC = 1.0V. Its 4-pin SC70 package supports space-constrained designs while maintaining immunity to negative-going VCC transients up to 35µs at 100mV overdrive.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Reset Threshold | 2.70V (nominal), ±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C - ensures accurate brownout detection across automotive and industrial temperature ranges. |
| RESET Timeout Period | 20ms (minimum) - provides sufficient hold time for microprocessor initialization before release. |
| Supply Current | 3μA at +1.8V - enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered IoT sensors and portable devices. |
| RESET Output Type | Active-high push-pull - eliminates need for external pullup resistor and drives CMOS/TTL loads directly. |
| RESET IN Input Threshold | +1.27V (nominal), ±2.5% over temperature - allows precise secondary supply monitoring via external resistor divider. |
| Operating Voltage Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - supports valid reset assertion even during deep brownout or ultra-low-power wake-up sequences. |
| Reset Comparator Overdrive Immunity | 35µs max transient duration at 100mV overdrive - suppresses false resets from short power glitches. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6388XS27D2-T is housed in a RoHS-compliant 4-pin SC70 package (outline 21-0098, land pattern 90-0187), optimized for high-density PCB layouts with thermal resistance θJA = 322.6°C/W on multilayer board.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | Main supply input and primary reset monitor node; powers internal circuitry and sets reference for VCC comparator. |
| 2 | RESET | Active-high push-pull output; drives high during reset assertion and low otherwise - compatible with standard µP reset inputs. |
| 3 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference; must be connected to system ground plane for stable comparator operation. |
| 4 | RESET IN | Auxiliary voltage monitor input; compared to internal +1.27V reference - enables user-defined secondary supply threshold via resistor divider. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent voltage monitoring | VCC and RESET IN each drive reset independently - supports simultaneous core/I/O rail supervision without external logic. |
| Factory-trimmed reset threshold accuracy | ±2.5% over full -40°C to +125°C range - eliminates need for calibration in automotive and industrial applications. |
| Guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 1.0V | Ensures deterministic reset state during ultra-low-voltage wake-up - critical for energy-harvesting and battery-dead recovery. |
| Negative-going VCC transient immunity | Rejects glitches ≤35µs at 100mV overdrive - prevents spurious resets in electrically noisy environments like motor control or power conversion. |
| Low quiescent current | 3μA at +1.8V - extends shelf life and runtime in always-on sensor nodes and wearables. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Power Sequencing | Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6388LT27D2-T | Same electrical specs but in 6-pin μDFN (L611+1) instead of 4-pin SC70 - larger footprint, lower θJA (477°C/W vs. 322.6°C/W). | Preferred for thermally demanding environments where SC70 self-heating may affect timing stability. | Select when board layout allows larger package and thermal performance outweighs size constraints. |
| MAX6385XS27D2-T | Identical 4-pin SC70 package and 2.70V/20ms specs, but includes manual reset (MR) input - adds external reset capability not present in MAX6388XS27D2-T. | Suitable where field-serviceable reset or test-mode entry is required, adding one extra control line. | Choose only if MR functionality is needed; otherwise MAX6388XS27D2-T offers simpler BOM and routing. |
Compared with MAX6388XS27D2-T, the μDFN-packaged MAX6388LT27D2-T trades board area for improved thermal margin, while MAX6385XS27D2-T adds MR functionality at no cost to footprint or reset timing - making it a functional superset where manual reset is justified.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6388XS27D2-T?
The MAX6388XS27D2-T has a factory-set VCC reset threshold of 2.70V (nominal), with guaranteed tolerance of ±2.5% over the full operating temperature range (-40°C to +125°C). This value is confirmed in Maxim's Reset Thresholds table, where suffix "27" corresponds to VTH(min) = 2.63V, VTH(nom) = 2.70V, VTH(max) = 2.77V.
Does MAX6388XS27D2-T support dual-voltage monitoring?
Yes, MAX6388XS27D2-T supports dual-voltage monitoring via two independent comparators: one on VCC (2.70V threshold) and one on the RESET IN pin (1.27V internal reference). When either input falls below its threshold, the active-high RESET output asserts - enabling supervision of core and I/O rails without external components.
What is the function of the RESET IN pin on MAX6388XS27D2-T?
The RESET IN pin on MAX6388XS27D2-T is a high-impedance input compared to an internal +1.27V reference. It allows user-defined secondary voltage monitoring via an external resistor divider. Reset asserts if RESET IN voltage drops below 1.27V, and the pin draws ≤50nA leakage current - ensuring minimal impact on source impedance.
Is MAX6388XS27D2-T pin-compatible with other parts in the MAX6381–MAX6390 family?
MAX6388XS27D2-T uses the 4-pin SC70 package shared with MAX6384–MAX6390 variants. However, pin functions differ: MAX6388XS27D2-T assigns Pin 4 to RESET IN, whereas MAX6384/MAX6385/MAX6386 use Pin 3 for MR. Thus, it is not pin-compatible with MR-equipped variants - direct replacement requires schematic and layout review.
What is the minimum VCC voltage at which MAX6388XS27D2-T guarantees correct RESET output state?
MAX6388XS27D2-T guarantees valid RESET output logic state down to VCC = 1.0V. This is explicitly specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "RESET Output State Guaranteed Valid Down to VCC = 1V", ensuring deterministic behavior during deep brownout or ultra-low-power wake-up conditions.
