Product details
Overview
MAX6388XS28D6-T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with active-high push-pull reset output, factory-set 2.80V 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 consumes only 3μA at +1.8V and guarantees valid reset state down to VCC = 1V, used in battery-powered controllers and intelligent instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6388XS28D6-T datasheet, MAX6388XS28D6-T pinout, MAX6388XS28D6-T application, or MAX6388XS28D6-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.80V threshold accuracy, 560ms VCC reset timeout, 4-pin SC70 package, dual-supply monitoring capability via RESET IN, and automotive-grade AEC-Q100 qualification (denoted by /V suffix in related variants).
Technical Context
The MAX6388XS28D6-T integrates a precision voltage comparator for VCC monitoring and a separate +1.27V reference-based comparator for the auxiliary RESET IN input, enabling independent reset assertion when either supply falls below its threshold. Its internal timer ensures reset remains asserted for ≥560ms after VCC recovery.
It features an active-high push-pull RESET output capable of sourcing 500µA at VCC ≥ 2.5V while maintaining VOH ≥ 0.8×VCC, and includes negative-going VCC transient immunity validated up to 35µs at 100mV overdrive - critical for noisy power environments.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6388LT28D6-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 industrial designs where SC70 self-heating may affect long-term threshold stability | Select MAX6388LT28D6-T when board layout allows larger package and thermal derating is critical |
| TLV809M28DBZR | 2.8V threshold, 560ms timeout, SOT-23-3 package - no RESET IN input, no manual reset, higher ICC (1.1µA typ at 1.8V) | Limited to single-rail monitoring; lacks auxiliary input for dual-voltage systems requiring coordinated reset | Choose TLV809M28DBZR only for cost-sensitive, single-supply applications without auxiliary monitoring needs |
Compared with MAX6388XS28D6-T, the µDFN variant offers superior thermal management in high-ambient environments, while the TLV809M28DBZR trades dual-supply capability and ultra-low ICC for lower unit cost and smaller pin count - making it viable only when RESET IN functionality is unnecessary.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6388XS28D6-T?
The MAX6388XS28D6-T has a factory-set VCC reset threshold of 2.80V nominal, with guaranteed tolerance of ±2.5% over the full operating temperature range (-40°C to +125°C). This value is confirmed in the Reset Thresholds table of the datasheet, where suffix "28" corresponds to 2.73V/2.80V/2.87V min/nom/max. The MAX6388XS28D6-T uses this precise threshold to detect brownout conditions in 2.8V–3.0V supply domains.
Does the MAX6388XS28D6-T support monitoring a second voltage rail?
Yes, the MAX6388XS28D6-T includes a dedicated RESET IN input pin that compares an external voltage to an internal +1.27V reference. When the voltage at RESET IN falls below this reference, the device asserts reset - enabling dual-rail supervision (e.g., VCC for I/O supply and RESET IN for core voltage). This feature is explicitly documented in the Pin Description and Applications Information sections for MAX6387/MAX6388/MAX6389 variants.
What is the function of the RESET output on the MAX6388XS28D6-T?
On the MAX6388XS28D6-T, the RESET output is an active-high push-pull driver. It transitions high when VCC drops below 2.80V or when RESET IN falls below +1.27V, and remains high for ≥560ms after both monitored voltages recover. Unlike open-drain versions, it requires no external pullup resistor and can directly drive standard CMOS/TTL reset inputs - a key differentiator confirmed in the General Description and Pin Configurations.
What package type and dimensions does the MAX6388XS28D6-T use?
The MAX6388XS28D6-T is packaged in a lead(Pb)-free, RoHS-compliant 4-pin SC70 (SOT-323) package with outline number 21-0098 and land pattern 90-0187. Its dimensions are 1.3mm × 1.6mm × 0.95mm. This compact footprint is specified in the Ordering Information and Package Information sections, distinguishing it from the 6-pin µDFN variants like MAX6388LT28D6-T.
Is the MAX6388XS28D6-T qualified for automotive applications?
The MAX6388XS28D6-T itself is not marked with the "/V" automotive qualification suffix in its part number, but it belongs to the AEC-Q100–qualified MAX6381–MAX6390 family. The datasheet explicitly states "AEC-Q100 Qualified" in the Features section and lists /V-suffixed variants (e.g., MAX6388XS28D6/V+T) in the Ordering Information - confirming that the MAX6388XS28D6-T shares the same die and qualification basis, with /V denoting the tested automotive-grade screening version.
