Product details
Overview
MAX6388XS31D6-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), 560ms 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 MAX6388XS31D6-T datasheet, MAX6388XS31D6-T pinout, MAX6388XS31D6-T application, or MAX6388XS31D6-T equivalent, key selection considerations include its 4-pin SC70 package, 3.08V threshold accuracy, 560ms reset hold time, dual-supply monitoring capability via RESET IN, and guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 1V.
Technical Context
The MAX6388XS31D6-T integrates a precision voltage comparator for VCC monitoring and a separate +1.27V reference-based comparator for the RESET IN auxiliary input, enabling independent reset assertion when either supply falls below its threshold. Its internal timer ensures deterministic 560ms reset assertion after VCC recovery or RESET IN release.
It features an active-high push-pull RESET output capable of sourcing 800µA at VCC ≥ 4.5V (VOH ≥ 0.8×VCC) and sinking 3.2mA (VOL ≤ 0.4V), with guaranteed logic-state validity down to VCC = 1V. The RESET IN input exhibits ±1nA leakage and supports resistor-divider configuration for user-defined thresholds.
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/industrial temperature ranges |
| Reset Timeout Period | 560ms minimum - provides sufficient hold time for μP initialization in systems with slow power-rail rise times |
| Supply Current | 3μA at +1.8V - enables multi-year battery life in portable equipment without compromising supervision reliability |
| Operating Voltage Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - supports operation during deep brownout and compatibility with core/I/O rail voltages |
| RESET Output Type | Active-high push-pull - eliminates need for external pullup, simplifies interface to μP reset inputs requiring high-assertion |
| Auxiliary Input | RESET IN with 1.27V internal reference - allows monitoring of second supply (e.g., I/O voltage) using external resistor divider |
| Reset Assertion Validity | Guaranteed down to VCC = 1V - ensures predictable reset behavior during uncontrolled power collapse |
Pinout & Package
MAX6388XS31D6-T is housed in a RoHS-compliant 4-pin SC70 package (outline 21-0098, land pattern 90-0187), measuring 1.3mm × 1.6mm × 0.95mm, optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | Main supply input and primary voltage monitor source; accepts 1.0V–5.5V; powers internal comparators and timer |
| 2 | RESET | Active-high push-pull reset output; drives high during reset assertion; sinks 3.2mA / sources 800µA; valid down to VCC = 1V |
| 3 | RESET IN | Auxiliary voltage monitor input; compared to internal 1.27V reference; supports resistor-divider for custom threshold setting |
| 4 | GND | Analog and digital ground reference; must be connected to system ground plane for accurate threshold sensing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-supply monitoring capability | Simultaneous VCC and RESET IN monitoring enables robust power sequencing in dual-rail systems (e.g., core + I/O) |
| Factory-trimmed reset threshold | 3.08V ±2.5% over full temperature range eliminates need for external calibration or trimming components |
| Negative-going transient immunity | Withstands short VCC glitches without false reset assertion, validated per typical operating characteristics graph |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 3μA at 1.8V allows integration into always-on subsystems without impacting battery runtime |
| Guaranteed reset state at low VCC | RESET output remains logically valid down to VCC = 1V, preventing undefined states during brownout recovery |
Applications
| Power Monitoring in Portable Devices | Dual-Rail Microcontroller Systems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6388LT31D6-T | Same electrical specs but in 6-pin µDFN package; no SC70 footprint compatibility | Preferred for thermal performance or higher-current PCB layouts where 4-pin SC70 density is insufficient | Select when board layout requires lower θJA (477°C/W vs. 322.6°C/W) or additional N.C. pins for routing flexibility |
| TPS3808G30DBVR | 3.0V threshold (±0.5%), 500ms timeout, 1.4μA ICC at 3.3V; open-drain output only | Lacks RESET IN input and active-high push-pull drive; requires external pullup resistor | Choose for ultra-low-power designs where open-drain interface is acceptable and auxiliary monitoring is unnecessary |
Compared with MAX6388XS31D6-T, the LT31D6 variant offers identical supervision functionality in a larger µDFN package for improved thermal handling, while the TPS3808G30DBVR trades dual-monitoring capability and push-pull drive for lower quiescent current and tighter threshold tolerance-making it suitable only when RESET IN and active-high output are not required.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6388XS31D6-T?
The MAX6388XS31D6-T has a factory-set VCC reset threshold of 3.08V nominal, with guaranteed accuracy of ±2.5% over the full operating temperature range (-40°C to +125°C). This value is confirmed in the Reset Thresholds table of the datasheet, where suffix "31" corresponds to min/typ/max values of 3.00V/3.08V/3.15V at +25°C and maintains ±2.5% tolerance across temperature.
Does the MAX6388XS31D6-T support monitoring of a second voltage rail?
Yes, the MAX6388XS31D6-T supports dual-voltage monitoring via its dedicated RESET IN pin, which compares an external voltage against an internal +1.27V reference. When the voltage at RESET IN falls below this reference, the device asserts RESET independently of VCC-enabling use cases like monitoring I/O supply in systems with separate core and interface rails.
What is the function of Pin 2 on the MAX6388XS31D6-T?
Pin 2 of the MAX6388XS31D6-T is the RESET output terminal, configured as an active-high push-pull driver. It transitions high during reset assertion and remains high for the full 560ms timeout period after VCC or RESET IN recovers above their respective thresholds. Its push-pull structure eliminates reliance on external pull resistors.
Can the MAX6388XS31D6-T operate reliably at very low supply voltages?
Yes, the MAX6388XS31D6-T guarantees correct RESET output logic state down to VCC = 1.0V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. This ensures deterministic reset behavior during deep brownout conditions where many supervisors fail to maintain valid output levels.
What package type is used for the MAX6388XS31D6-T?
The MAX6388XS31D6-T is supplied in a lead(Pb)-free, RoHS-compliant 4-pin SC70 package (outline number 21-0098), with dimensions of 1.3mm × 1.6mm × 0.95mm. This compact surface-mount package is optimized for high-density PCB layouts in portable and space-constrained applications.
