Product details
Overview
MAX6377XR23 from Maxim Integrated is an ultra-low-power, open-drain, active-low voltage detector designed for precision supply monitoring in battery-powered systems. It features a factory-trimmed 2.32V threshold (±2.5% over temperature), 500nA supply current, and operates from 1.2V to 5.5V VCC. It asserts OUT low when VCC falls below VTH and is used in portable equipment power sequencing and Li+-battery undervoltage lockout.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6377XR23 datasheet, MAX6377XR23 pinout, MAX6377XR23 application, or MAX6377XR23 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, SC70-3 package details, real-world use cases in battery management and power sequencing, and two validated alternative parts with documented functional and interface differences.
Technical Context
The MAX6377XR23 implements a precision bandgap reference and comparator with internally trimmed resistors to set its 2.32V trip point. Its open-drain output requires an external pull-up and sinks up to 100µA while asserted, enabling flexible logic-level interfacing across supply domains.
It ignores fast VCC transients - rejecting negative glitches up to 200µs at 20mV overdrive - and guarantees correct output state down to VCC = 1V. Propagation delay is 6.3µs (typ) for falling edge, with ±2.5% threshold accuracy over –40°C to +85°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.32V (factory-trimmed, ±2.5% over –40°C to +85°C) |
| Supply Current | 500nA (enables >10-year battery life in coin-cell applications) |
| Output Type | Active-low open-drain (requires external pull-up; compatible with 1.8V–5.5V logic) |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.2V to 5.5V (ensures valid reset assertion even during deep brownout) |
| Propagation Delay | 6.3µs (typ, falling edge; enables fast system response to supply collapse) |
| Threshold Hysteresis | 100mV (prevents chatter during slow VCC recovery near trip point) |
| Tempco | 40ppm/°C (low drift supports stable operation across industrial temperature range) |
Pinout & Package
MAX6377XR23 is housed in a 3-pin SC70-3 package (2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.95mm), optimized for space-constrained portable designs. The package is RoHS-compliant and available in lead-free variant (replace "-T" with "+T" in order code).
| 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 | Active-low open-drain output; sinks current when VCC < VTH; requires external pull-up resistor to host logic rail |
| 3 | VCC | Supply input (1.2V–5.5V); powers internal circuitry and defines detection domain; decoupling capacitor recommended |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low ICC | 500nA typical - extends shelf life and runtime in energy-harvesting and IoT sensor nodes |
| Factory-trimmed VTH | 2.32V with ±2.5% tolerance over full temperature range - eliminates calibration and external resistor networks |
| Open-drain output | Supports wired-OR reset buses and mixed-voltage system interfacing (e.g., 3.3V detector driving 1.8V microcontroller) |
| Transient immunity | Rejects VCC glitches ≤200µs at 20mV overdrive - prevents false resets in noisy DC/DC environments |
| No external components | Self-contained detection function - reduces BOM count, PCB area, and qualification effort |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage detector applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV803EB23DBZR | 2.32V threshold, push-pull active-low output, 350nA ICC, SOT23-3 only | Requires no pull-up but cannot share reset bus; incompatible with wired-OR topologies | Select when board layout prohibits external pull-up or when driving single-load reset lines |
| APX803S-23SA-7 | 2.32V threshold, open-drain active-low, 600nA ICC, SOT23-3 only | Same interface behavior but higher supply current; slightly lower tempco (30ppm/°C) | Select when SOT23-3 footprint is fixed and minor ICC increase is acceptable |
Compared with TLV803EB23DBZR and APX803S-23SA-7, the MAX6377XR23 uniquely combines SC70-3 packaging, 500nA ICC, and guaranteed 1V operation - making it optimal for ultra-compact, long-life battery systems requiring shared reset busing.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6377XR23?
The MAX6377XR23 has a factory-trimmed nominal reset threshold of 2.32V, with guaranteed tolerance of ±2.5% over the full operating temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). At +25°C, the typical threshold is 2.320V, and the min/max limits are 2.262V and 2.375V respectively per Table 1 in the datasheet. This value is laser-trimmed during production and requires no external adjustment.
Does the MAX6377XR23 require an external pull-up resistor on its OUT pin?
Yes, the MAX6377XR23 features an open-drain output and requires an external pull-up resistor connected between the OUT pin and the target logic rail (up to 5.5V). The resistor value must be selected to ensure VOL ≤ 0.4V at ISINK = 100µA while providing sufficient drive for connected inputs - typically 10kΩ to 100kΩ depending on bus capacitance and logic family.
What package type is used for the MAX6377XR23, and what are its dimensions?
The MAX6377XR23 uses the SC70-3 package: a 3-pin surface-mount outline measuring 2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.95mm (L × W × H). Pin 1 is GND, Pin 2 is OUT, and Pin 3 is VCC. The SC70-3 footprint is smaller than SOT23-3 and supports high-density PCB layouts common in wearables and hearing aids.
Can the MAX6377XR23 operate reliably at VCC = 1.2V?
Yes, the MAX6377XR23 is fully specified to operate and assert a valid output state down to VCC = 1.2V, and its output remains correctly defined even as low as VCC = 1.0V. This ensures robust reset generation during deep brownout conditions - critical for maintaining system integrity in battery-powered devices nearing end-of-discharge.
How does the MAX6377XR23 handle short voltage transients on the VCC line?
The MAX6377XR23 incorporates built-in transient immunity: it ignores negative-going VCC glitches shorter than ~200µs at 20mV overdrive (i.e., VCC dips to VTH − 20mV). This rejection window scales inversely with overdrive amplitude - larger dips are rejected for shorter durations - preventing false resets caused by switching noise or load transients in DC/DC converter outputs.
