Product details
Overview
MAX6388XS31D3+ from Maxim Integrated is a single-supply, low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with active-high push-pull reset output, factory-set 3.08V reset threshold (±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C), and 140ms minimum reset timeout. It monitors VCC in systems requiring reliable power-on reset for embedded controllers and portable electronics operating from 1.8V to 5.0V supplies.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6388XS31D3+ datasheet, MAX6388XS31D3+ pinout, MAX6388XS31D3+ application, or MAX6388XS31D3+ equivalent, key selection considerations include its auxiliary RESET IN input for dual-voltage monitoring, guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 1V, ±2.5% threshold accuracy over temperature, and SC70-4 package compatibility with space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The MAX6388XS31D3+ integrates a precision voltage comparator referenced to an internal bandgap, a 140ms monolithic reset timeout timer, and an auxiliary RESET IN comparator tied to a fixed +1.27V reference. It supports user-defined secondary voltage monitoring via external resistor divider on RESET IN.
This device uses BiCMOS process technology (647 transistors) and features negative-going VCC transient immunity up to 35µs at 100mV overdrive. Its push-pull active-high RESET output drives high during fault conditions and guarantees correct logic state for VCC ≥ 1V.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
MAX6388XS31D3+ is housed in a lead-free 4-pin SC70 package (package code X4-1), measuring 1.3mm × 1.1mm × 0.6mm, with gull-wing leads and exposed pad not present. Pin 1 is marked by a dot or beveled edge.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | Main supply input; powers internal circuitry and serves as primary voltage monitor |
| 2 | RESET | Active-high push-pull reset output; driven high during reset assertion, low otherwise |
| 3 | RESET IN | Auxiliary voltage monitor input; compared to +1.27V internal reference for secondary supply supervision |
| 4 | GND | Ground reference for all internal circuitry and comparator inputs |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6388LT31D3+ | Same electrical specs but in 6-pin µDFN-6 (L611-1) package - larger footprint, better thermal performance | Suitable for higher-reliability industrial designs where board space permits and thermal dissipation matters | Select when PCB layout allows 1.5mm × 1.0mm package and enhanced thermal margin is required |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | TI part with 3.3V threshold, 200ms timeout, 1.6µA typical ICC at 3.3V - lower quiescent current but no RESET IN input | Lacks auxiliary voltage monitoring capability; requires separate supervisor for dual-rail systems | Choose only for single-rail applications where lowest possible current draw is prioritized over dual-monitoring functionality |
Compared with MAX6388XS31D3+, the MAX6388LT31D3+ offers identical supervision functionality in a thermally superior µDFN package, while TPS3808G33DBVR trades away RESET IN capability for lower ICC - making MAX6388XS31D3+ optimal for space-constrained dual-supply systems needing minimal bill-of-materials.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6388XS31D3+?
The MAX6388XS31D3+ has a factory-set nominal reset threshold of 3.08V, with guaranteed tolerance of ±2.5% over the full operating temperature range (-40°C to +125°C). This value corresponds to the "31" suffix in the part number and is trimmed during production for high accuracy without external components.
Does MAX6388XS31D3+ support monitoring of a second voltage rail?
Yes, MAX6388XS31D3+ includes a dedicated RESET IN pin tied to an internal +1.27V reference. By connecting an external resistor divider to this pin, users can configure a custom reset threshold for a secondary voltage rail - enabling dual-supply supervision in a single IC.
What is the function of the RESET output on MAX6388XS31D3+?
The RESET output of MAX6388XS31D3+ is an active-high push-pull driver. It asserts high whenever VCC falls below 3.08V or the voltage at RESET IN drops below its derived threshold, and remains high for the full 140ms timeout period after recovery - ensuring reliable µP initialization without external pull-up components.
Can MAX6388XS31D3+ operate reliably at very low supply voltages?
Yes, MAX6388XS31D3+ guarantees correct RESET output logic state down to VCC = 1.0V. This feature ensures deterministic behavior during deep brownout conditions, allowing safe system shutdown before supply collapse - a critical capability for data integrity in embedded applications.
What package type is used for MAX6388XS31D3+ and what are its dimensions?
MAX6388XS31D3+ is packaged in a lead-free 4-pin SC70 (X4-1) case measuring 1.3mm × 1.1mm × 0.6mm. Its gull-wing lead configuration supports standard reflow soldering processes and provides a compact solution for high-density PCB layouts where board space is severely constrained.
