Product details
Overview
The MAX6326XR26+ from Maxim Integrated is an ultra-low-power, active-low reset supervisor IC designed to monitor 2.63V power supplies in microprocessor and digital systems. It asserts a push-pull RESET signal when VCC falls below 2.63V (±1.5% at +25°C, ±2.5% over -40°C to +85°C), holds reset for ≥100ms after VCC recovers, operates down to 1V supply, and draws ≤1µA supply current - ideal for battery-powered portable equipment.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6326XR26+ datasheet, MAX6326XR26+ pinout, MAX6326XR26+ application, or MAX6326XR26+ equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, pin-level design meaning, real-world use cases in automotive and critical µP systems, and validated alternative options with documented functional and application differences.
Technical Context
The MAX6326XR26+ implements a precision bandgap-based voltage comparator with factory-trimmed 2.63V reset threshold, 9.5mV hysteresis, and transient immunity up to 200µs for VCC glitches ≥100mV below threshold. Its internal reset timer guarantees minimum 100ms timeout after VCC rises above VTH, independent of temperature.
It features a push-pull active-low RESET output capable of sourcing 500µA (VOH ≥0.8·VCC) and sinking 1.6mA (VOL ≤0.4V), fully specified from -40°C to +85°C with 40ppm/°C tempco. No external components are required, and it remains functional down to VCC = 1V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar reset supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX809TR26+T | Same 2.63V threshold, but 2.5µA max ICC and SOT23-3 only; no SC70 option | Higher supply current limits runtime in coin-cell devices; identical pinout enables drop-in replacement in SOT23 layouts | Select when legacy SOT23 footprint is fixed and 2.5µA ICC is acceptable |
| TPS3808G12DBVR | 2.63V threshold with 350nA ICC, but requires external capacitor for reset timeout; different pinout (VDD, GND, RESET) | Lower ICC extends battery life further, but added capacitor increases BOM and board area; not pin-compatible | Select when ultra-low ICC dominates design priority and layout flexibility exists for capacitor placement |
Compared with MAX6326XR26+, MAX809TR26+T offers identical threshold and pinout but higher ICC, while TPS3808G12DBVR achieves lower ICC at the cost of external component dependency and non-compatible pin assignment - making MAX6326XR26+ optimal for space-constrained, low-power SC70 designs requiring zero external parts.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6326XR26+ and how does it vary with temperature?
The MAX6326XR26+ has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 2.63V with ±1.5% tolerance at +25°C and ±2.5% over the full -40°C to +85°C operating range. Its temperature coefficient is 40ppm/°C, resulting in a maximum deviation of ±20mV across the industrial temperature range - confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table of the official datasheet.
Does the MAX6326XR26+ require any external components to function?
No, the MAX6326XR26+ requires zero external components. It integrates the voltage reference, comparator, reset timer, and push-pull output driver in a single SC70-3 package. This eliminates the need for external resistors, capacitors, or diodes commonly used in discrete reset circuits - a key design advantage explicitly stated in the Features section.
What is the maximum supply voltage the MAX6326XR26+ can tolerate, and what happens below 1V?
The MAX6326XR26+ supports VCC from 1.0V to 5.5V per Absolute Maximum Ratings. Below 1.0V, the device is not guaranteed to assert reset correctly; however, all six members of the MAX6326/MAX6327/MAX6328 family are explicitly guaranteed to maintain correct reset state down to VCC = 1V - enabling robust operation during deep brownout conditions.
Is the MAX6326XR26+ pin-compatible with other reset supervisors like the MAX809 series?
Yes, the MAX6326XR26+ is pin-compatible with the MAX803/MAX809/MAX810 family in both SC70-3 and SOT23-3 packages, as confirmed in the Features section. Pin 1 = GND, Pin 2 = RESET (active-low push-pull), Pin 3 = VCC - identical mapping allows direct substitution in existing layouts without PCB changes.
What is the typical supply current of the MAX6326XR26+ at room temperature and 3.3V supply?
The typical supply current of the MAX6326XR26+ is 0.5µA at +25°C and VCC = 3.3V, as shown in the Typical Operating Characteristics graph "Supply Current vs. Temperature". The datasheet specifies a maximum of 1µA across the full temperature and voltage range, making it suitable for multi-year battery operation in portable equipment.
