Overview
MAX6388XS29D1-T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with active-high push-pull reset output, factory-set 2.93V VCC reset threshold, and 1ms minimum reset timeout period. It monitors single supply voltage in battery-powered or space-constrained embedded systems and guarantees valid reset state down to VCC = 1V. Designed for dual-voltage systems requiring auxiliary voltage monitoring, it features RESET IN input compatible with +1.27V internal reference.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6388XS29D1-T datasheet, MAX6388XS29D1-T pinout, MAX6388XS29D1-T application, or MAX6388XS29D1-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4-pin SC70 package, ±2.5% reset threshold accuracy over –40°C to +125°C, 3μA supply current at 1.8V, auxiliary voltage monitoring capability, and compatibility with manual reset–equipped variants via shared footprint.
Technical Context
The MAX6388XS29D1-T implements a precision bandgap-based reset comparator with 60ppm/°C tempco and negative-going VCC transient immunity up to 35µs at 100mV overdrive. Its auxiliary RESET IN input compares external voltage against a stable +1.27V reference, enabling user-defined secondary reset thresholds via resistor divider.
This device belongs to the MAX6387–MAX6389 variant group featuring open-drain–capable reset outputs (though MAX6388 uses push-pull active-high), integrated RESET IN comparator, and operation across 1.0V to 5.5V VCC range. It guarantees correct reset logic state down to VCC = 1V and supports brownout detection during power-up/down sequences without external components.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6388XS29D1-T and how stable is it over temperature?
The MAX6388XS29D1-T has a nominal VCC reset threshold of 2.93V, with guaranteed tolerance of ±2.5% over the full –40°C to +125°C operating range. Its reset comparator exhibits 60ppm/°C tempco, meaning threshold drift is limited to approximately ±15mV across the entire temperature span - sufficient for robust brownout detection in automotive and industrial environments where supply rails vary with thermal load.
Does MAX6388XS29D1-T support monitoring of a second voltage rail, and how is it implemented?
Yes, MAX6388XS29D1-T supports auxiliary voltage monitoring via its dedicated RESET IN pin, which compares an external voltage against an internal +1.27V reference. To supervise a second rail (e.g., 5V or 12V), connect a resistor divider between that rail and ground, with the midpoint fed to RESET IN. The MAX6388XS29D1-T asserts reset if either VCC falls below 2.93V or the divided voltage drops below +1.27V - enabling coordinated reset for multi-rail systems without additional ICs.
What is the function of the RESET output on MAX6388XS29D1-T, and what are its drive capabilities?
The RESET output of MAX6388XS29D1-T is an active-high push-pull driver, meaning it actively drives high during reset assertion and low during normal operation. It can sink 3.2mA at VCC ≥ 4.5V (VOL ≤ 0.4V) and source 800µA at VCC ≥ 4.5V (VOH ≥ 0.8×VCC), allowing direct connection to standard CMOS μP reset inputs without external components. This differs from open-drain variants that require pullup resistors.
Can MAX6388XS29D1-T operate reliably at very low supply voltages, and what is its minimum functional VCC?
Yes, MAX6388XS29D1-T guarantees correct RESET output logic state down to VCC = 1.0V, ensuring deterministic behavior during deep brownout conditions before complete power loss. While its specified operating range is 1.0V to 5.5V, the internal bandgap reference and comparator remain functional at 1.0V, making it suitable for applications like energy-harvesting systems or battery-powered devices nearing end-of-life where supply may sag below 1.8V.
What package type and dimensions does MAX6388XS29D1-T use, and is it RoHS-compliant?
MAX6388XS29D1-T is supplied in a lead(Pb)-free, RoHS-compliant 4-pin SC70 package (outline 21-0098), measuring 2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.95mm with 0.65mm pin pitch. This compact footprint supports high-density PCB layouts in space-constrained applications such as wearable electronics and miniaturized industrial sensors, and its thermal resistance (θJA = 322.6°C/W on multilayer board) ensures stable operation under typical ambient conditions.
