Product details
Overview
MAX6388XS31D1-T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with active-high push-pull reset output, factory-set 3.08V 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 intelligent instrumentation requiring reliable power-on reset and brownout protection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6388XS31D1-T datasheet, MAX6388XS31D1-T pinout, MAX6388XS31D1-T application, or MAX6388XS31D1-T equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, SC70-4 package layout, dual-supply monitoring capability, automotive-grade AEC-Q100 qualification (via /V suffix variants), and direct alternatives with documented timing and output topology differences.
Technical Context
The MAX6388XS31D1-T integrates a precision voltage comparator for VCC monitoring and a separate +1.27V reference-based comparator for the RESET IN pin, enabling independent detection of two supply rails. Its internal timer ensures reset assertion for ≥140ms after VCC or RESET IN recovers above their respective thresholds.
This device uses BiCMOS process technology, supports operation from 1.0V to 5.5V supply, and features negative-going VCC transient immunity up to 35µs at 100mV overdrive. The RESET output remains logic-valid during brownout conditions down to VCC = 1V, eliminating need for external level-shifting in low-voltage systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Reset Threshold | 3.08V nominal, ±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C - ensures stable reset activation across automotive temperature range |
| Reset Timeout Period | 140ms minimum - provides sufficient hold time for slow-ramping microcontrollers during power-up |
| Supply Current | 3μA at +1.8V - enables multi-year battery life in portable equipment without compromising supervision reliability |
| RESET Output Type | Active-high push-pull - eliminates need for external pullup resistor and drives high-impedance loads directly |
| Auxiliary Input | RESET IN pin with 1.27V internal reference - allows user-defined second-voltage threshold via resistor divider |
| Operating Voltage Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - supports supervision of core, I/O, and auxiliary rails in modern mixed-voltage SoC designs |
| Reset Assertion Delay | 35µs max for VCC falling edge - rejects short transients while responding promptly to true brownouts |
Pinout & Package
MAX6388XS31D1-T is housed in a RoHS-compliant 4-pin SC70 package (outline 21-0098, land pattern 90-0187), measuring 2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.95mm, suitable for space-constrained portable and automotive modules.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | Main supply input and primary voltage monitor rail; powers internal circuitry and sets fixed reset threshold |
| 2 | RESET | Active-high push-pull output; asserts high when VCC or RESET IN falls below threshold; deasserts after 140ms timeout |
| 3 | GND | Ground reference for all internal comparators, timers, and output stage; must be low-impedance connection |
| 4 | RESET IN | Auxiliary voltage monitor input; compared to internal 1.27V reference; enables dual-rail supervision without external components |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-voltage supervision | Simultaneous monitoring of VCC and external rail via RESET IN pin with 1.27V reference - reduces BOM count in multi-rail systems |
| Low-power operation | 3μA supply current at +1.8V - extends battery runtime in always-on IoT sensors and wearables |
| Automotive-ready accuracy | ±2.5% reset threshold tolerance over -40°C to +125°C - meets AEC-Q100 requirements for under-hood applications |
| Transient-immune design | Rejects VCC glitches ≤35µs at 100mV overdrive - prevents spurious resets in electrically noisy environments |
| Valid reset down to 1V | Guaranteed logic-state integrity on RESET pin even as VCC drops to 1.0V - ensures deterministic behavior during deep brownout |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6385XS31D1-T | Same 3.08V threshold and 140ms timeout, but includes manual reset (MR) input instead of RESET IN | Suitable where operator-initiated reset is required; not usable for dual-voltage monitoring | Select MAX6385XS31D1-T if manual reset functionality is needed and auxiliary voltage monitoring is unnecessary |
| TLV809E31DBVR | 3.08V threshold, 140ms timeout, active-high push-pull, but no auxiliary input; 1.8–6V operating range | Lacks RESET IN capability; lower quiescent current (0.5μA) but no dual-rail support | Choose TLV809E31DBVR for cost-sensitive, single-rail applications where space and power are critical but dual monitoring is not required |
Compared with MAX6388XS31D1-T, MAX6385XS31D1-T adds manual reset at the expense of auxiliary voltage monitoring, while TLV809E31DBVR offers lower power and broader voltage range but omits dual-supply capability entirely - selection depends on whether MR functionality or RESET IN is prioritized in the system architecture.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6388XS31D1-T and how stable is it over temperature?
The MAX6388XS31D1-T has a factory-set nominal VCC reset threshold of 3.08V, with ±2.5% tolerance guaranteed over the full -40°C to +125°C operating range. This stability is achieved through laser-trimmed internal references and BiCMOS process optimization, making MAX6388XS31D1-T suitable for automotive and industrial applications where thermal drift must be tightly controlled.
Does MAX6388XS31D1-T support monitoring of two independent power rails?
Yes, MAX6388XS31D1-T supports dual-rail supervision: VCC is monitored against its fixed 3.08V threshold, while the RESET IN pin compares an external voltage to an internal +1.27V reference. When either rail drops below its respective threshold, MAX6388XS31D1-T asserts its active-high RESET output for the full 140ms timeout period.
What package type and footprint does MAX6388XS31D1-T use?
MAX6388XS31D1-T is supplied in a 4-pin SC70 package (outline 21-0098, land pattern 90-0187), measuring 2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.95mm. This RoHS-compliant, lead-free package is optimized for reflow soldering and supports high-density PCB layouts in portable and automotive modules.
How does the RESET output behave during deep brownout conditions?
MAX6388XS31D1-T guarantees valid logic states on its active-high push-pull RESET output down to VCC = 1.0V. Unlike open-drain or some CMOS reset ICs, it maintains defined high/low drive capability throughout the entire 1.0V–5.5V operating range, ensuring deterministic MCU reset behavior even during severe undervoltage events.
Is MAX6388XS31D1-T qualified for automotive applications?
While MAX6388XS31D1-T itself carries the RoHS-compliant "+T" suffix, automotive qualification requires the "/V" variant (e.g., MAX6388XS31D1/V+T). The underlying MAX6388 design is AEC-Q100 qualified, and the /V versions undergo additional stress testing and screening per automotive standards - confirm ordering code suffix before deployment in vehicle systems.
