Product details
Overview
MAX6377UR31 from Maxim Integrated is an ultra-low-power, open-drain, active-low voltage detector with a factory-trimmed threshold of 3.08V ±2.5%, designed for battery and power-supply monitoring in portable systems. It features 500nA supply current, operates down to 1V VCC, and ignores fast transients - enabling reliable reset assertion in Li+-powered microcontroller supervision and low-voltage DC/DC converter sequencing.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6377UR31 datasheet, MAX6377UR31 pinout, MAX6377UR31 application, or MAX6377UR31 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.08V trip point, open-drain output compatibility with mixed-voltage logic domains, transient immunity up to 140µs at 20mV overdrive, and SOT23-3 footprint suitability for space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MAX6377UR31 implements a precision bandgap reference and comparator with internally trimmed resistors to deliver fixed 3.08V detection without external components. Its open-drain output sinks current when VCC falls below threshold and requires an external pull-up to interface with 1.8V–5.5V logic families.
It guarantees correct output state down to 1V VCC and exhibits ±2.5% threshold accuracy across –40°C to +85°C. Propagation delay is 6.3µs (typ) for falling edge, with hysteresis of 100mV to prevent chatter during slow VCC decay.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 3.08V ±2.5% (factory-trimmed; enables precise brown-out detection for 3.3V rail monitoring) |
| Supply Current | 500nA (typ) at +25°C - extends battery life in always-on monitoring applications) |
| Output Type | Active-low, open-drain - supports wired-OR reset buses and level-shifting via external pull-up |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.2V to 5.5V - ensures valid reset assertion even during deep brown-out or partial power loss |
| Propagation Delay | 6.3µs (typ, falling edge) - provides timely system reset without excessive latency |
| Threshold Hysteresis | 100mV - prevents oscillation during slow-rising or noisy supply recovery |
| Tempco | 40ppm/°C - maintains trip-point stability across industrial temperature range |
Pinout & Package
MAX6377UR31 is housed in a 3-pin SOT23-3 package (JEDEC MO-178AA), with 1.3mm × 2.9mm footprint and 0.95mm height - compatible with standard pick-and-place and reflow processes.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Ground reference for internal bandgap and comparator; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| 2 | OUT | Open-drain active-low output; sinks ≥100µA at 0.4V (VCC ≥1.2V); requires external pull-up resistor |
| 3 | VCC | Supply input; monitors this rail for undervoltage; accepts 1.2V–5.5V with no external decoupling required |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 500nA enables multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries in IoT endpoint sensors |
| No external components needed | Factory-trimmed threshold and integrated reference eliminate calibration resistors and reduce BOM count |
| Transient immunity | Rejects negative VCC glitches ≤140µs at 20mV overdrive - avoids false resets in noisy power environments |
| Wide VCC operating range | Functions reliably from 1.2V to 5.5V - supports reset assertion during deep brown-out and hot-swap scenarios |
| Open-drain output architecture | Enables shared reset bus with multiple supervisors and flexible pull-up to any logic voltage ≤5.5V |
Applications
| Battery-Powered Microcontroller Supervision | Li+ Battery Voltage Monitoring |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage detector applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV803EB31DBZR | 3.08V threshold, open-drain, but 600nA supply current and only guaranteed down to 1.5V VCC | Lacks 1V operation guarantee; less suitable for deep brown-out detection in ultra-low-voltage systems | Choose if higher VCC minimum is acceptable and TI supply-chain preference applies |
| APX803S-31SA-7 | 3.08V threshold, open-drain, 800nA supply current, ±3% accuracy over temperature | Higher quiescent current and wider threshold tolerance reduce battery life and margin in precision applications | Consider for cost-sensitive designs where 500nA and ±2.5% are not mandatory |
Compared with TLV803EB31DBZR and APX803S-31SA-7, the MAX6377UR31 delivers superior ultra-low-power performance (500nA), guaranteed functionality down to 1V VCC, and tighter threshold accuracy (±2.5%) - making it optimal for long-life battery-powered systems requiring robust brown-out protection.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6377UR31?
The MAX6377UR31 has a factory-trimmed nominal reset threshold of 3.08V, with guaranteed accuracy of ±2.5% over the full –40°C to +85°C temperature range. At +25°C, the typical threshold is 3.08V, and the min/max limits are 3.003V and 3.150V respectively - confirmed in Table 1 of the official datasheet.
Does the MAX6377UR31 require an external pull-up resistor on its OUT pin?
Yes, the MAX6377UR31 features an open-drain active-low output and requires an external pull-up resistor to function correctly. The datasheet specifies that the pull-up may connect to any supply voltage up to 5.5V, and recommends selecting a value large enough to ensure a valid logic low (≤0.4V at 100µA sink) while small enough to drive connected inputs reliably.
Can the MAX6377UR31 operate when VCC drops below 1.2V?
Yes - the MAX6377UR31 is guaranteed to maintain correct output logic state down to VCC = 1V, per the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. This allows reliable reset assertion during deep brown-out conditions where other detectors fail, making it especially valuable in ultra-low-voltage battery backup scenarios.
What is the maximum transient duration the MAX6377UR31 can ignore at 20mV overdrive?
At a threshold overdrive (VTH – VCC) of 20mV, the MAX6377UR31 can ignore negative-going VCC transients up to 140µs in duration, as shown in Figure MAX6375-04 of the datasheet. This transient immunity prevents false resets caused by short power glitches common in switching regulator environments.
Is the MAX6377UR31 available in both leaded and lead-free packaging?
Yes - the MAX6377UR31 is offered in both leaded and lead-free versions. To specify lead-free packaging, replace the "-T" suffix with "+T" in the order code (e.g., MAX6377UR31+T). Both variants use the same SOT23-3 package outline and are compatible with standard reflow profiles.
