Product details
Overview
MAX6326UR29-T from Maxim Integrated is an ultra-low-power, active-low push-pull microprocessor supervisory circuit designed to monitor 2.93V power supplies in embedded systems. It asserts a reset signal when VCC drops below 2.93V (±2.5% over temperature), holds reset for ≥100ms after VCC recovers, draws ≤1µA supply current at 3V, and operates from 1.2V to 5.5V across –40°C to +85°C - enabling reliable brownout protection in portable and battery-powered µP applications.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6326UR29-T datasheet, MAX6326UR29-T pinout, MAX6326UR29-T application, or MAX6326UR29-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its factory-trimmed 2.93V reset threshold, SOT23-3 package compatibility, 100ms minimum reset timeout, push-pull active-low output drive capability, and immunity to fast VCC transients up to 100V/µs slew rate.
Technical Context
The MAX6326UR29-T implements a precision bandgap-based reset comparator with 40ppm/°C tempco and 6.3mV hysteresis to prevent chatter during threshold crossing. Its internal timing circuit guarantees a minimum 100ms reset assertion after power-up or brownout recovery, independent of external components.
Designed for direct interface with microprocessor reset inputs, the push-pull output drives low (≤0.3V at 1.6mA) when asserted and high (≥0.8·VCC) when released, eliminating need for external pull-up resistors - unlike open-drain variants such as MAX6328UR29-T.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset supervision applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX809TRD2-T | Same 2.93V threshold, but higher 10µA supply current and no guaranteed operation below 1.8V | Lacks deep-battery support (<1.8V); less suitable for end-of-life battery operation | Select MAX6326UR29-T when ultra-low current (<1µA) and sub-1.8V operation are required |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 2.93V threshold with adjustable delay, but 2.5µA typical current and SOT23-5 package | Requires external capacitor for delay tuning; larger footprint and higher quiescent draw | Select MAX6326UR29-T when fixed 100ms delay, minimal footprint, and lowest possible current are priorities |
Compared with MAX809TRD2-T and TPS3808G33DBVR, the MAX6326UR29-T delivers superior battery lifetime via 1µA max current, guaranteed functionality down to 1.2V, and true 3-pin SOT23-3 integration - making it optimal for space-constrained, long-life portable systems where every nanoamp counts.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6326UR29-T and how tightly is it specified?
The MAX6326UR29-T has a factory-trimmed nominal reset threshold of 2.93V, with tolerance of ±1.5% at +25°C and ±2.5% over the full –40°C to +85°C operating temperature range. This specification is guaranteed by production test and documented in the Electrical Characteristics table of the official datasheet, ensuring predictable brownout response in 3V systems.
Does the MAX6326UR29-T require any external components to function as a reset supervisor?
No, the MAX6326UR29-T requires zero external components. Its internal precision voltage reference, comparator, and timing circuitry generate a guaranteed minimum 100ms reset pulse without capacitors or resistors - a key differentiator from discrete or older-generation supervisors that rely on RC networks for delay setting.
What is the maximum supply voltage the MAX6326UR29-T can tolerate on its VCC pin?
The MAX6326UR29-T supports a VCC operating range of 1.2V to 5.5V under normal conditions, with absolute maximum rating of –0.3V to +6V. This allows safe use in 5V systems while maintaining functionality down to near-end-of-life battery voltages, and the device remains in a valid reset state for VCC as low as 1.0V (guaranteed by design).
How does the push-pull output of the MAX6326UR29-T differ from open-drain alternatives like the MAX6328UR29-T?
The MAX6326UR29-T features an active-low push-pull output that actively drives both high (≥0.8·VCC) and low (≤0.3V at 1.6mA), eliminating the need for an external pull-up resistor. In contrast, the MAX6328UR29-T uses an open-drain output requiring a pull-up, which adds component count, increases board area, and introduces potential noise coupling paths - making the MAX6326UR29-T preferable for compact, low-noise designs.
Is the MAX6326UR29-T pin-compatible with legacy Maxim reset supervisors such as the MAX809 series?
Yes, the MAX6326UR29-T is pin-compatible with the MAX809 series in SOT23-3 packaging, sharing identical pinout (VCC, RESET, GND) and footprint. However, it improves upon the MAX809 with 10× lower supply current (1µA vs 10µA), extended low-voltage operation (down to 1.2V vs 1.8V), and tighter reset threshold accuracy - enabling drop-in upgrades in existing designs where power and voltage margin are critical.
