Product details
Overview
M51946BFP#600C from Renesas Electronics is an H-type (active-high) system reset IC with open-collector output, designed for voltage monitoring and power-on reset generation in microcontroller and logic circuits. It features a 1.25 V internal reference, 15 mV typical hysteresis, 2–17 V supply range, and operates down to 0.55 V supply voltage. It is used in battery-backed systems and DC/DC converter supervision where precise, externally adjustable threshold detection is required.
For engineers reviewing the M51946BFP#600C datasheet, M51946BFP#600C pinout, M51946BFP#600C application, or M51946BFP#600C equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, package mapping to 5-pin SIP (5P5T), confirmed open-collector output behavior, thermal derating data, and real-world reset timing characteristics - all validated against Renesas REJ03D0774-0300 Rev.3.00.
Technical Context
The M51946BFP#600C implements a precision comparator architecture with a stable 1.25 V bandgap reference and 25 µA internal bias current. Its input stage monitors external voltage via resistor divider, enabling programmable detection thresholds from 2 V to 15 V using R1/R2 configuration.
As an "H" reset type device, it asserts a high-level reset signal when input voltage exceeds the threshold, with propagation delays of 2 µs (L→H) and 4 µs (H→L). The open-collector output requires an external pull-up resistor and supports sink currents up to 4 mA while maintaining ≤0.4 V saturation voltage at 5 V supply.
Key Specifications

Applications
| Microcontroller Power-On Reset | Battery Voltage Monitoring |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Ensuring reliable initialization of an embedded MCU after cold start or brown-out recovery. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Active-high reset generator triggered when VCC rises above programmed threshold (e.g., 3.0 V). Use Value: Prevents code execution before stable supply is achieved; eliminates need for discrete RC reset networks with poor temperature stability. |
Use Scenario: Supervising lithium-ion or alkaline battery pack voltage to trigger low-battery warning or shutdown. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Threshold detector comparing battery voltage (via divider) against 1.25 V reference. Use Value: Enables accurate, hysteresis-stabilized battery check without microcontroller ADC overhead or software polling. |

Use Scenario: Validating regulated output of a buck converter before enabling downstream loads. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monitors converter output rail; asserts reset until voltage stabilizes within tolerance. Use Value: Guarantees clean power sequencing; avoids partial initialization of FPGAs or ASICs due to premature enable. |
Use Scenario: Synchronizing reset across multiple CMOS logic families (e.g., Pch/Nch, TTL, and CMOS ICs) sharing one supply. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single-point reset source with open-collector output driving wired-OR reset bus. Use Value: Eliminates timing skew between disparate logic families; simplifies PCB routing versus individual RC networks. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage-detection and system-reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV803EBPDBVR | Fixed 3.08 V threshold; SOT-23-5 package; 1.8–6 V supply; push-pull output | Lacks external threshold adjustability; unsuitable for custom voltage detection below 2 V or above 5 V | Choose when fixed threshold and space-constrained layout outweigh programmability needs |
| MAX809SEUR+T | Fixed 3.08 V threshold; SOT-23-3 package; 1–6 V supply; open-collector output | No input pin; monitors VCC directly; no external resistor network support | Select only for simple VCC-monitored reset where threshold adjustment is unnecessary |
Compared with M51946BFP#600C, TLV803EBPDBVR offers smaller footprint but forfeits programmable detection and wide supply range; MAX809SEUR+T provides minimal pin count but cannot monitor external voltages or operate above 6 V - making M51946BFP#600C uniquely suited for adjustable, high-voltage, multi-rail reset coordination.

FAQ
What is the reset logic polarity of M51946BFP#600C?
M51946BFP#600C is an "H" reset type IC: its output goes high (active) when the monitored input voltage exceeds the detection threshold. This active-high behavior is confirmed in the block diagram and operating waveform section of Renesas REJ03D0774-0300 Rev.3.00, distinguishing it from the complementary "L" type M51945BFP#600C.
Can M51946BFP#600C monitor voltages higher than its supply voltage?
No. Per the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Input Voltage Range specifications in the datasheet, M51946BFP#600C's input voltage must stay within –0.3 V to VCC–0.3 V (for VCC ≤ 7 V) or –0.3 V to +7 V (for VCC > 7 V). Direct monitoring of voltages exceeding VCC requires external scaling via resistor divider - which is the intended use case for this device.
What is the recommended pull-up resistor value for the open-collector output of M51946BFP#600C?
Renesas specifies that the output sink current must remain ≤4 mA under normal operation. For a 5 V pull-up, RL ≥ 1.25 kΩ satisfies this (5 V ÷ 4 mA = 1.25 kΩ); typical designs use 4.7 kΩ to 10 kΩ to reduce power and ensure compatibility with high-impedance logic inputs. RL selection also affects rise time and noise immunity.
Is M51946BFP#600C suitable for automotive applications?
No. M51946BFP#600C is rated for Standard quality grade per Renesas documentation, targeting office equipment, industrial robots, and consumer electronics. It is not qualified for automotive (AEC-Q100) or safety-critical applications such as transportation or medical life-support systems.
Does M51946BFP#600C require external capacitors for stable operation?
Yes. Renesas recommends installing both low-frequency (C1) and high-frequency (C2) bypass capacitors between VCC and GND, as shown in Figure 2 of REJ03D0774-0300. This mitigates ripple and noise on the supply line that could cause false resets - a requirement explicitly stated in the "Notice for use" section.
