Product details
Overview
MAX6388XS31D4-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), 1120ms minimum VCC reset timeout, and auxiliary RESET IN input for dual-voltage monitoring. It operates from 1.0V to 5.5V supply and consumes only 3μA at 1.8V, targeting power-critical embedded systems requiring reliable brownout detection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6388XS31D4-T datasheet, MAX6388XS31D4-T pinout, MAX6388XS31D4-T application, or MAX6388XS31D4-T equivalent, this device delivers guaranteed reset assertion down to VCC = 1V, negative-going transient immunity, and dual-supply monitoring capability in a space-constrained 4-pin SC70 package - critical for portable, automotive, and industrial control designs.
Technical Context
The MAX6388XS31D4-T integrates a precision voltage comparator for VCC monitoring against a fixed 3.08V threshold and a separate high-impedance RESET IN comparator referenced to 1.27V, enabling user-defined secondary voltage supervision via external resistor divider. Its internal timer guarantees ≥1120ms reset assertion after VCC recovery.
It features an active-high push-pull RESET output capable of sourcing 800µA at VCC ≥ 4.5V while maintaining VOH ≥ 0.8×VCC, and supports manual reset initiation only in sibling parts (not this variant). The device is AEC-Q100 qualified and specified for operation from -40°C to +125°C.
Key Specifications

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6388LT31D4-T | Same electrical specs but in 6-pin μDFN (L611+1) instead of 4-pin SC70; includes NC pins and different thermal resistance (θJA = 477°C/W vs. 322.6°C/W) | Better thermal performance in high-power density layouts; requires larger PCB footprint and different land pattern (90-0080 vs. 90-0187) | Select when board layout allows μDFN and higher power dissipation margin is needed. |
| TLV809E30DBZR | Single-supply 3.0V supervisor (±2% threshold), 140ms timeout, SOT-23-3 package; no RESET IN pin, no AEC-Q100 qualification | Lacks dual-voltage monitoring and automotive qualification; lower cost for basic single-rail applications | Choose only for cost-sensitive, non-automotive, single-rail designs where auxiliary monitoring is unnecessary. |
Compared with MAX6388XS31D4-T, the LT31D4-T variant offers identical functionality in a smaller 4-pin SC70 footprint ideal for space-constrained designs, while TLV809E30DBZR provides a lower-cost alternative for simple single-supply supervision but sacrifices dual-rail capability, automotive qualification, and extended timeout.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6388XS31D4-T?
The MAX6388XS31D4-T has a factory-set VCC reset threshold of 3.08V nominal, with guaranteed minimum of 3.00V and maximum of 3.15V at +25°C. Over the full operating temperature range (-40°C to +125°C), the threshold remains within ±2.5% of 3.08V, i.e., 3.00V to 3.15V. This value is encoded in the "31" suffix per the Reset Threshold table in the datasheet.
Does MAX6388XS31D4-T support manual reset functionality?
No, MAX6388XS31D4-T does not include a manual reset (MR) input. According to the Selector Guide and Pin Configurations, MR is only present on MAX6384/MAX6385/MAX6386/MAX6390 variants. The MAX6388XS31D4-T pinout consists solely of VCC, RESET, GND, and RESET IN - confirming absence of MR functionality.
What is the purpose of the RESET IN pin on MAX6388XS31D4-T?
The RESET IN pin on MAX6388XS31D4-T connects to an internal 1.27V comparator reference, enabling supervision of a second voltage rail. By applying a resistor divider to RESET IN, users can set a custom reset threshold (e.g., 2.5V or 1.8V) for auxiliary power domains. Reset asserts if either VCC falls below 3.08V or RESET IN falls below its configured threshold.
What package type and dimensions does MAX6388XS31D4-T use?
MAX6388XS31D4-T uses a lead-free, RoHS-compliant 4-pin SC70 package (outline number 21-0098, land pattern 90-0187), measuring 2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.95mm. This compact footprint supports high-density PCB layouts in space-constrained applications such as portable medical devices and automotive sensors.
Is MAX6388XS31D4-T qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, MAX6388XS31D4-T is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications. The "/V" designation is optional in ordering codes (e.g., MAX6388XS31D4/V+T), but the base MAX6388XS31D4-T part meets AEC-Q100 Rev G requirements per the datasheet's Ordering Information and Features sections, supporting use in engine control, ADAS, and infotainment systems.
