Product details
Overview
MAX6388XS29D7-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 (±2.5% over –40°C to +125°C), 1200ms minimum VCC 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 dual-rail embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6388XS29D7-T datasheet, MAX6388XS29D7-T pinout, MAX6388XS29D7-T application, or MAX6388XS29D7-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.93V threshold accuracy, 1200ms VCC timeout, 4-pin SC70 package, RESET IN comparator interface, and compatibility with dual-supply power monitoring architectures.
Technical Context
The MAX6388XS29D7-T integrates a precision bandgap reference and comparator to monitor VCC against a fixed 2.93V threshold while simultaneously accepting an external voltage via RESET IN (compared to internal 1.27V reference). Its reset assertion logic triggers on either VCC drop below 2.93V or RESET IN drop below 1.27V, with independent timing control ensuring reliable brownout recovery.
It features a dedicated active-high push-pull RESET output capable of sourcing/sinking ≥150µA at VCC ≥1.8V, and includes negative-going VCC transient immunity up to 150µs for 100mV overdrive - critical for noisy industrial power rails. The device operates across –40°C to +125°C and supports AEC-Q100-compliant designs when ordered with /V suffix.
Key Specifications

| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial control environments |
| Package | 4-pin SC70 (X4+1 outline) - 1.3mm × 1.3mm footprint ideal for space-constrained PCB layouts |
Pinout & Package
MAX6388XS29D7-T is housed in a RoHS-compliant 4-pin SC70 package (outline 21-0098, land pattern 90-0187), with 0.65mm pitch and thermal resistance θJA = 322.6°C/W on multilayer board.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | Main supply input and primary voltage monitor rail - must be decoupled with 0.1µF capacitor near pin |
| 2 | RESET | Active-high push-pull reset output - drives high during normal operation; pulls low only during reset assertion |
| 3 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference - requires low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| 4 | RESET IN | Auxiliary voltage monitor input - high-impedance node (≤50nA leakage) for external resistor-divider-based threshold setting |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-voltage supervision | Simultaneous monitoring of VCC (2.93V) and external rail via RESET IN (1.27V reference) - enables robust dual-rail system reset coordination |
| Negative transient immunity | Rejects VCC glitches ≤150µs wide at 100mV overdrive - prevents spurious resets in electrically noisy environments |
| Low-voltage operation guarantee | Valid RESET output state maintained down to VCC = 1V - ensures deterministic behavior during deep brownout conditions |
| Factory-trimmed accuracy | ±2.5% reset threshold tolerance over full temperature range - eliminates need for external calibration in production |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 3μA at 1.8V - extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes and portable medical devices |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Controller | Automotive Body Control Module |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6388LT29D7-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) | Suitable for thermally constrained designs where board area permits larger package | Select when thermal performance outweighs size constraints; not pin-compatible due to different pin count and layout |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V fixed threshold (not 2.93V), 200ms default timeout (adjustable via capacitor), no RESET IN input - lacks dual-monitoring capability | Applicable only for single-rail 3.3V systems without auxiliary voltage supervision needs | Choose only if 2.93V threshold and RESET IN are unnecessary; requires redesign for dual-supply use cases |
Compared with MAX6388XS29D7-T, MAX6388LT29D7-T offers better thermal dissipation but occupies more PCB area, while TPS3808G33DBVR sacrifices threshold flexibility and dual-monitoring for simpler single-rail integration - neither provides identical dual-voltage supervision in a 4-pin SC70 form factor.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6388XS29D7-T and how stable is it over temperature?
The MAX6388XS29D7-T has a factory-set nominal VCC reset threshold of 2.93V, with guaranteed accuracy of ±2.5% over the full operating temperature range of –40°C to +125°C. This stability is achieved through laser-trimmed bandgap reference circuitry and is documented in the Electrical Characteristics table of the official datasheet. The MAX6388XS29D7-T maintains this tolerance without external calibration.
Does MAX6388XS29D7-T support monitoring of a second voltage rail, and how is it implemented?
Yes, MAX6388XS29D7-T supports dual-voltage supervision via its dedicated RESET IN pin, which compares an external voltage to an internal 1.27V reference. To monitor a second rail, connect a resistor divider between that rail and GND, feeding the midpoint to RESET IN. The MAX6388XS29D7-T asserts reset if either VCC drops below 2.93V or the voltage at RESET IN falls below 1.27V - enabling coordinated reset for multi-supply systems.
What is the function and timing behavior of the RESET output on MAX6388XS29D7-T?
The RESET output of MAX6388XS29D7-T is an active-high push-pull driver. It remains low during reset assertion (when VCC < 2.93V or RESET IN < 1.27V) and transitions high after the 1200ms minimum timeout period elapses once the monitored voltage(s) recover. The MAX6388XS29D7-T guarantees correct logic state down to VCC = 1V, eliminating need for external pullup resistors or level-shifting circuitry.
What package type and dimensions does MAX6388XS29D7-T use, and is it RoHS-compliant?
MAX6388XS29D7-T uses a 4-pin SC70 package (outline number 21-0098, land pattern 90-0187), measuring 1.3mm × 1.3mm with 0.65mm pin pitch. The "+T" suffix confirms lead(Pb)-free and RoHS-compliant construction. Thermal resistance is θJA = 322.6°C/W on a multilayer PCB, and the package supports reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020 standards.
How does MAX6388XS29D7-T handle power supply transients, and what protection does it offer?
MAX6388XS29D7-T provides built-in immunity to negative-going VCC transients: it will not assert reset for glitches ≤150µs wide when the overdrive (VTH – VCC) is 100mV. This is validated in the Typical Operating Characteristics graph "Maximum Transient Duration vs. Reset Comparator Overdrive." Adding a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor close to the VCC pin further enhances immunity - a design practice explicitly recommended in the MAX6388XS29D7-T datasheet.
