Product details
Overview
MAX6388XS28D7-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), 1200ms minimum VCC 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 MAX6388XS28D7-T datasheet, MAX6388XS28D7-T pinout, MAX6388XS28D7-T application, or MAX6388XS28D7-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.80V reset threshold accuracy, 1200ms timeout guarantee, dual-supply monitoring capability via RESET IN, and 4-pin SC70 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MAX6388XS28D7-T integrates a precision voltage comparator monitoring VCC against a trimmed 2.80V threshold and a separate high-impedance RESET IN input referenced to an internal 1.27V bandgap. Reset assertion occurs when either voltage falls below its respective threshold, with independent timing control ensuring deterministic deassertion after recovery.
Its active-high push-pull RESET output drives logic-high during fault conditions and guarantees valid state down to VCC = 1.0V. The device supports manual reset initiation only in sibling variants (e.g., MAX6384–MAX6386/MAX6390); MAX6388 lacks MR but includes RESET IN - confirming its role as a dual-monitoring supervisor without user-triggered reset.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6387XS28D7-T | Same 2.80V threshold, 1200ms timeout, and RESET IN input, but features open-drain active-low RESET output requiring external pullup | Suitable where system-level reset logic requires active-low signaling or wired-OR bus sharing | Select MAX6387XS28D7-T only if active-low reset polarity and external pullup are acceptable in target design |
| TLV809M28DBZR | 2.80V threshold, 140ms timeout, no auxiliary input, SOT-23-3 package; ±1.5% threshold accuracy at +25°C only | Limited to single-rail monitoring; shorter timeout insufficient for slow-ramping supplies or EEPROM writes | Choose TLV809M28DBZR only for cost-sensitive, single-supply applications where 140ms timeout and no RESET IN are acceptable |
Compared with MAX6388XS28D7-T, MAX6387XS28D7-T offers identical monitoring capability but demands external biasing for reset signaling, while TLV809M28DBZR sacrifices dual-supply support, timeout duration, and wide-temperature accuracy - making MAX6388XS28D7-T optimal for robust dual-rail systems requiring guaranteed 1200ms hold time and push-pull simplicity.
