Product details
Overview
MAX6326XR26+T from Maxim Integrated is an ultra-low-power, active-low push-pull microprocessor supervisory circuit designed to monitor VCC supply voltage and assert a reset signal during power-up, brownout, or power-down events. It features a factory-trimmed 2.63V reset threshold (±2.5% over -40°C to +85°C), 100ms minimum reset timeout, 1µA max supply current at 3V, and operates down to 1.2V VCC. It is used in portable battery-powered systems requiring reliable, low-quiescent-power power-on reset functionality.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6326XR26+T datasheet, MAX6326XR26+T pinout, MAX6326XR26+T application, or MAX6326XR26+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its SC70-3 package, push-pull active-low RESET output, guaranteed reset assertion down to 1.2V VCC, immunity to fast VCC transients, and compatibility with 2.5V/3.3V digital systems.
Technical Context
The MAX6326XR26+T implements a precision bandgap-based reset comparator with 40ppm/°C tempco and 6.3mV hysteresis, ensuring stable threshold behavior across temperature. Its internal timing circuit guarantees ≥100ms reset pulse width after VCC rises above the 2.63V threshold, with delay variation under ±10ms over full temperature range.
Designed for direct integration into space-constrained embedded systems, it requires no external components and interfaces natively with µP reset inputs via its push-pull output-eliminating need for external pull-up resistors while supporting bidirectional reset control when paired with compatible controllers.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX809TR26+T | Same SC70-3 package, identical 2.63V threshold and push-pull active-low output, but higher 2.5µA max ICC and no guaranteed operation below 1.8V VCC | Lacks deep-brownout support; unsuitable for sub-1.8V battery cutoff detection | Select MAX809TR26+T only if supply stays >1.8V and higher ICC is acceptable |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V fixed threshold (not 2.63V), SOT23-3 package, 1.8µA ICC, supports 0.8V–6V VCC, but requires external capacitor for timeout adjustment | Fixed 3.3V threshold mismatches 2.63V requirement; capacitor dependency adds BOM and layout complexity | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR only for 3.3V-only systems where timeout tuning is needed |
Compared with MAX809TR26+T and TPS3808G33DBVR, MAX6326XR26+T uniquely combines 2.63V precision threshold, 1µA ICC, SC70-3 footprint, and guaranteed 1.2V operation-making it optimal for long-life, low-voltage, space-constrained µP reset applications where threshold accuracy and ultra-low power are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6326XR26+T and how does it vary with temperature?
The MAX6326XR26+T has a factory-trimmed nominal reset threshold of 2.63V at +25°C, with tolerance of ±1.5% at room temperature and ±2.5% over the full -40°C to +85°C operating range. Its temperature coefficient is 40ppm/°C, resulting in a maximum threshold deviation of approximately ±12mV across the industrial temperature range - verified in the Electrical Characteristics table of the official datasheet.
Does MAX6326XR26+T require any external components to function?
No, MAX6326XR26+T requires zero external components. It integrates the precision voltage reference, comparator, timing circuit, and push-pull output driver in a single SC70-3 package. Unlike RC-based reset solutions, MAX6326XR26+T eliminates tolerance stack-up, aging effects, and layout sensitivity - delivering production-ready reset functionality out of the box.
What is the minimum VCC voltage at which MAX6326XR26+T guarantees correct reset state?
MAX6326XR26+T guarantees correct reset assertion and deassertion behavior down to 1.2V VCC over the full -40°C to +85°C temperature range. This capability enables reliable operation during deep brownout conditions common in battery-powered systems nearing end-of-life, where other reset ICs may fail to hold valid logic states.
How does the push-pull output of MAX6326XR26+T differ from open-drain alternatives like MAX6328XR26+T?
The MAX6326XR26+T features an active-low push-pull RESET output that actively drives both high and low states, eliminating the need for an external pull-up resistor. In contrast, MAX6328XR26+T uses an open-drain output requiring an external pull-up. This makes MAX6326XR26+T preferable for space-constrained designs and systems where minimizing external components and leakage paths is critical.
Is MAX6326XR26+T pin-compatible with legacy Maxim reset ICs such as MAX809?
Yes, MAX6326XR26+T is pin-compatible with MAX809TR26+T in the SC70-3 package - sharing identical pinout (VCC, RESET, GND), footprint, and function. However, MAX6326XR26+T offers superior specs: 1µA vs. 2.5µA supply current and guaranteed operation down to 1.2V VCC versus 1.8V for MAX809 - making it a performance upgrade with drop-in replacement feasibility in most existing layouts.
