Product details
Overview
MAX6388XS30D3-T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with active-high push-pull reset output, factory-set 3.00V VCC reset threshold (±2.5% over −40°C to +125°C), 140ms 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 dual-rail embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6388XS30D3-T datasheet, MAX6388XS30D3-T pinout, MAX6388XS30D3-T application, or MAX6388XS30D3-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.00V threshold accuracy, 140ms VCC reset timeout, 4-pin SC70 package, auxiliary voltage monitoring capability, and automotive-grade AEC-Q100 qualification (denoted by /V suffix - though this part lacks /V, it shares full temp range −40°C to +125°C).
Technical Context
The MAX6388XS30D3-T integrates a precision bandgap reference and comparator to monitor VCC against a fixed 3.00V 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 3.00V or RESET IN drop below 1.27V, with independent timing control.
It features an active-high push-pull RESET output that transitions high during fault conditions and remains asserted for ≥140ms after recovery. The device includes negative-going VCC transient immunity up to 100mV overdrive for ≤35µs, and supports reliable operation down to VCC = 1V without external biasing.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6385XS30D3-T | Same 3.00V threshold, 140ms timeout, and 4-pin SC70 package-but includes manual reset (MR) input instead of RESET IN | Suitable where operator-initiated reset is required; not suitable for dual-supply monitoring | Select MAX6385XS30D3-T only if MR functionality is needed and auxiliary voltage monitoring is unnecessary |
| TLV809E30DBZR | 3.0V threshold, 140ms timeout, SOT-23-3 package; no auxiliary input; ±2% accuracy; 0.5μA quiescent current | Lacks RESET IN capability and operates over narrower temperature range (−40°C to +125°C same, but not AEC-Q100 qualified) | Choose TLV809E30DBZR for cost-sensitive, single-rail consumer applications where ultra-low IQ dominates design priority |
Compared with MAX6385XS30D3-T, MAX6388XS30D3-T trades manual reset for dual-supply monitoring-making it optimal for systems requiring fault detection across multiple rails.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6388XS30D3-T and how stable is it over temperature?
The MAX6388XS30D3-T has a factory-set nominal reset threshold of 3.00V, with guaranteed accuracy of ±2.5% over the full operating temperature range of −40°C to +125°C. This stability is achieved using a trimmed bandgap reference and low-drift comparator architecture, ensuring consistent brownout detection without external calibration. The MAX6388XS30D3-T maintains this tolerance across all specified conditions, making it suitable for mission-critical power monitoring.
Does the MAX6388XS30D3-T support monitoring of a second voltage rail, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the MAX6388XS30D3-T supports dual-voltage monitoring via its dedicated RESET IN pin, which compares an external voltage to an internal 1.27V reference. To monitor a second rail (e.g., 1.8V), connect a resistor divider between that rail and GND, with the midpoint fed to RESET IN. The MAX6388XS30D3-T asserts reset if either VCC drops below 3.00V or the divided voltage at RESET IN falls below 1.27V-enabling coordinated fault response across two independent supplies.
What is the function of the RESET output on the MAX6388XS30D3-T, and what are its drive capabilities?
The RESET output of the MAX6388XS30D3-T is an active-high push-pull driver, meaning it actively drives high during reset and low otherwise-eliminating the need for an external pullup resistor. It sources up to 800µA at VCC ≥ 4.5V and sinks up to 3.2mA when asserted, supporting direct interfacing with 3.3V and 5V logic families. The MAX6388XS30D3-T guarantees correct logic state down to VCC = 1V, ensuring robust boot sequencing even during severe undervoltage.
How does the 140ms reset timeout (D3 suffix) affect system behavior during power-up and brownout recovery?
The 140ms minimum reset timeout of the MAX6388XS30D3-T ensures the microprocessor remains held in reset for at least 140ms after VCC rises above 3.00V or after RESET IN recovers-providing sufficient time for power supplies, clocks, and memory to stabilize before firmware execution resumes. This prevents erratic startup, flash corruption, or peripheral lockup. The MAX6388XS30D3-T implements this delay using a precision RC oscillator, maintaining timing accuracy across temperature and voltage.
Is the MAX6388XS30D3-T qualified for automotive applications, and what packaging options are available?
The MAX6388XS30D3-T is offered in a RoHS-compliant 4-pin SC70 package (outline 21-0098) and operates over −40°C to +125°C, matching automotive ambient requirements-but it does not carry the /V suffix indicating formal AEC-Q100 qualification. For certified automotive use, designers should select /V-qualified variants such as MAX6388XS30D3/V+T. The MAX6388XS30D3-T itself is intended for industrial and high-reliability commercial applications where extended temperature and robustness are required but formal automotive certification is not mandated.
