Product details
Overview
AZ7042RTR-G1 from BCD Semiconductor Manufacturing Limited is a precision voltage detector IC with 4.2 V threshold, open-collector output, and SOT-89 package. It monitors supply rails in microcontroller-based systems, generating a reset signal when VCC falls below 4.05 V (min) or rises above 4.35 V (max), with 50 mV typical hysteresis. Designed for CPU reset generation and battery backup control, it operates from -40°C to +85°C with 30 µA typical quiescent current at 5.25 V.
For engineers reviewing the AZ7042RTR-G1 datasheet, AZ7042RTR-G1 pinout, AZ7042RTR-G1 application, or AZ7042RTR-G1 equivalent, this device serves as a low-power, temperature-stable reset supervisor for embedded power monitoring where precise 4.2 V detection and noise immunity are required.
Technical Context
The AZ7042RTR-G1 integrates a precision on-chip voltage reference and comparator to compare VCC against a fixed 4.2 V threshold. Its hysteresis of 30–100 mV prevents chatter during slow or noisy supply transitions.
It features open-collector output requiring external pull-up, supports minimum operating voltage down to 0.8 V, and delivers 16 mA sink current across -40°C to +85°C. Reset assertion occurs after 10 µs (tpHL) when VCC drops below VDET−, and release occurs after 15 µs (tpLH) when VCC exceeds VDET+.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage detector applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV803EB42DBZR | 4.2 V threshold, 350 nA max IQ, SOT-23-3 package, push-pull output | Lower power but no hysteresis; requires external RC network for noise immunity | Select for ultra-low-power battery applications where external hysteresis design is acceptable |
| MAX809SEUR+T | 4.2 V threshold, 15 µA IQ, SOT-23-3, open-collector, ±1.5% accuracy | Narrower temp range (-40°C to +105°C), higher threshold tolerance than AZ7042RTR-G1 (±1.5% vs ±3.6%) | Select for automotive-adjacent designs needing wider temperature margin and tighter initial accuracy |
Compared with TLV803EB42DBZR and MAX809SEUR+T, AZ7042RTR-G1 offers superior hysteresis integration (50 mV typical) and higher sink current (16 mA) in SOT-89, making it optimal for industrial reset supervision where robustness and thermal performance outweigh ultra-low IQ requirements.

FAQ
What is the recommended pull-up resistor value for the open-collector output?
A 10 kΩ pull-up to 3.3 V or 5 V is recommended per datasheet test conditions. This ensures ≤0.4 V low-level output while limiting current to <500 µA during reset assertion. Lower values (e.g., 4.7 kΩ) improve noise immunity but increase static power; higher values (>100 kΩ) risk slow rise time and noise susceptibility.
Does AZ7042RTR-G1 require external capacitors for stable operation?
No external capacitors are required for basic voltage detection. However, a 10 µF bypass capacitor between VCC and GND is recommended near the device to suppress supply noise that could affect detection accuracy. The internal hysteresis eliminates need for external RC networks.
Can AZ7042RTR-G1 monitor voltages above 5 V?
Yes - it supports VCC up to 18 V per Absolute Maximum Ratings. The 4.2 V detection threshold remains accurate across the full 1.0–18 V operating range, making it suitable for monitoring 12 V rails via resistive divider or directly for 5 V systems.
Is AZ7042RTR-G1 RoHS compliant and halogen-free?
Yes - the "G1" suffix denotes green (halogen-free) packaging, and the part meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. BCD confirms all "G1"-suffixed devices are lead-free and fully compliant with JEDEC J-STD-609A Class 1 moisture sensitivity level.
