Product details
Overview
MAX6388XS28D2-T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power, dual-voltage microprocessor supervisory circuit with active-high push-pull reset output, 2.80V factory-set VCC reset threshold (±2.5% over −40°C to +125°C), 20ms minimum reset timeout, and auxiliary RESET IN input for monitoring a second voltage rail. It operates from 1.0V to 5.5V supply and consumes only 3μA at 1.8V, enabling reliable power-up/brownout detection in space-constrained battery-powered systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6388XS28D2-T datasheet, MAX6388XS28D2-T pinout, MAX6388XS28D2-T application, or MAX6388XS28D2-T equivalent, key selection considerations include its 4-pin SC70 package, dual-monitoring capability (VCC + RESET IN), guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 1V, and automotive-grade AEC-Q100 qualification (denoted by /V suffix variants).
Technical Context
The MAX6388XS28D2-T integrates two independent voltage comparators: one monitors VCC against a precision 2.80V threshold with ±2.5% accuracy over temperature, and the other compares an external voltage at RESET IN to a stable 1.27V internal reference. Reset assertion occurs if either comparator trips, and the active-high push-pull output remains asserted for exactly 20ms after recovery.
It features a dedicated RESET IN terminal with <±1nA leakage and 4.5μs propagation delay, supporting user-defined secondary thresholds via resistor-divider networks. The device guarantees correct reset logic state down to VCC = 1V and exhibits immunity to negative-going VCC transients up to 35μs at 100mV overdrive.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6388XS28D3-T | Same 2.80V threshold and 4-pin SC70 package, but 140ms reset timeout instead of 20ms | Suitable for systems requiring longer reset hold time (e.g., complex bootloaders or FPGA configuration) | Select when extended reset assertion improves system stability during slow-start power supplies |
| TPS3808G125DBVR | 2.5V threshold, 20ms timeout, SOT-23-5 package; no RESET IN input; ±0.5% threshold accuracy | Lacks dual-monitoring capability but offers tighter threshold tolerance for precision analog subsystems | Choose when single-rail supervision suffices and higher accuracy outweighs loss of auxiliary monitoring |
Compared with MAX6388XS28D2-T, the MAX6388XS28D3-T extends reset duration for slower peripherals, while the TPS3808G125DBVR trades dual monitoring for superior threshold accuracy and smaller footprint-enabling trade-offs between supervision breadth and precision.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage and tolerance for MAX6388XS28D2-T?
The MAX6388XS28D2-T has a factory-set VCC reset threshold of 2.80V with ±2.5% accuracy over the full operating temperature range of −40°C to +125°C. This value is confirmed in the Reset Thresholds table of the datasheet (suffix "28"), and applies specifically to the MAX6388XS28D2-T variant-not inferred from adjacent part numbers. The threshold is trimmed during production and guaranteed by design testing.
Does MAX6388XS28D2-T support monitoring a second voltage rail, and how is it implemented?
Yes, MAX6388XS28D2-T supports dual-rail monitoring via its dedicated RESET IN pin, which connects to an internal comparator referenced to a precise 1.27V bandgap. To monitor a second voltage (e.g., 2.5V or 3.3V), apply it to RESET IN through a resistor divider that scales it to 1.27V. The MAX6388XS28D2-T asserts reset if either VCC drops below 2.80V or the scaled RESET IN voltage falls below 1.27V.
What is the function and electrical behavior of the RESET output on MAX6388XS28D2-T?
The RESET output of MAX6388XS28D2-T is an active-high push-pull driver. It remains low during normal operation and transitions high when VCC falls below 2.80V or RESET IN drops below 1.27V. After recovery, it stays high for a guaranteed minimum of 20ms before returning low. It can source/sink ≥800µA/≥1.2mA respectively and is valid down to VCC = 1V-no external pullup required.
Is MAX6388XS28D2-T qualified for automotive applications, and what does the "/V" suffix indicate?
The base MAX6388XS28D2-T is not automotive-qualified; however, Maxim offers /V-suffixed variants (e.g., MAX6388XS28D2/V+T) that are AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualified (−40°C to +105°C ambient). The "/V" denotes automotive qualification-including enhanced process controls, extended temperature validation, and failure-mechanism testing. The MAX6388XS28D2-T itself is rated for −40°C to +125°C junction temperature but lacks formal AEC-Q100 certification.
What package type and dimensions does MAX6388XS28D2-T use, and is it RoHS-compliant?
MAX6388XS28D2-T uses a 4-pin SC70 package (outline 21-0098, land pattern 90-0187), measuring 1.1mm × 1.1mm × 0.5mm with gull-wing leads. It is RoHS-compliant and lead(Pb)-free, indicated by the "+T" suffix in the ordering code. The package supports standard reflow profiles and is compatible with automated pick-and-place assembly.
