Product details
Overview
MAX6377XR26 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 2.63V threshold (±2.5% over temperature), 500nA supply current, and operates down to 1V VCC. It asserts OUT low when VCC falls below threshold and is used in portable equipment power sequencing and microcontroller reset supervision.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6377XR26 datasheet, MAX6377XR26 pinout, MAX6377XR26 application, or MAX6377XR26 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, pin-level design meaning, real-world use cases, and validated alternative options - all grounded in Maxim's official specifications for the SC70-3 packaged device.
Technical Context
The MAX6377XR26 implements a precision bandgap reference and comparator with internally trimmed resistors to set its 2.63V detection threshold. Its open-drain output requires an external pull-up and remains low during undervoltage conditions, supporting flexible logic interfacing up to 5.5V.
It ignores fast VCC transients (e.g., ≤20µs at 20mV overdrive) and guarantees correct output state down to 1V VCC. Threshold hysteresis is 9.5mV, and propagation delay is 6.3µs (falling edge) at +25°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.63V nominal, ±2.5% over -40°C to +85°C - ensures reliable brownout detection across industrial temperature range |
| Supply Current | 500nA typical - enables multi-year battery life in coin-cell–powered devices |
| Output Type | Active-low, open-drain - allows wired-OR configuration and level-shifting via external pull-up |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.2V to 5.5V - supports operation during deep discharge and across diverse supply rails |
| Propagation Delay | 6.3µs (falling), 9.5µs (rising) - provides deterministic timing for system reset assertion |
| Threshold Hysteresis | 9.5mV - prevents chatter during slow VCC recovery near trip point |
| Tempco | 40ppm/°C - limits drift-induced false triggers in thermally varying environments |
Pinout & Package
MAX6377XR26 is housed in a 3-pin SC70-3 package (2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.9mm), optimized for space-constrained portable designs. The package is lead-free compatible and supplied in tape-and-reel format.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (SC70) | GND | Ground reference for internal bandgap and comparator - must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| 2 (SC70) | OUT | Open-drain active-low output - sinks current when asserted; requires external pull-up resistor to define logic-high voltage |
| 3 (SC70) | VCC | Supply input - powers internal circuitry and defines monitored rail; valid from 1.2V to 5.5V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low ICC | 500nA enables >10-year shelf life in lithium primary battery applications |
| No external components | Internally trimmed threshold eliminates calibration resistors and reduces BOM count |
| Transient immunity | Rejects VCC glitches ≤20µs (at 20mV overdrive), preventing spurious resets |
| 1V minimum VCC operation | Ensures valid output state even during deep battery discharge or cold-start conditions |
| ±2.5% threshold accuracy | Guaranteed over full temperature range - eliminates need for margin-based design derating |
Applications
| Portable Medical Sensor | Industrial IoT Node |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage detector applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV803EC26DBZR | 2.63V threshold, 350nA ICC, SOT23-3, push-pull active-low output | Requires no pull-up; incompatible with wired-OR or multi-source reset buses | Select when board layout prohibits external pull-up or when driving high-capacitance reset lines directly |
| APX803S-26SA-7 | 2.63V threshold, 600nA ICC, SOT23-3, open-drain active-low output, same pinout as MAX6377XR26 | Identical functional behavior and pin compatibility; slightly higher ICC increases battery load | Drop-in replacement where Maxim supply continuity is constrained; verify 600nA ICC meets battery life target |
Compared with TLV803EC26DBZR and APX803S-26SA-7, the MAX6377XR26 offers optimal trade-off between ultra-low ICC (500nA), open-drain flexibility, and SC70 footprint - critical for miniaturized, long-life designs where board area and leakage budget are tightly coupled.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6377XR26 and how stable is it over temperature?
The MAX6377XR26 has a nominal reset threshold of 2.63V, with guaranteed accuracy of ±2.5% over the full -40°C to +85°C operating range. Its 40ppm/°C tempco ensures minimal drift, and electrical characteristics confirm threshold stability even at temperature extremes - making MAX6377XR26 suitable for applications where precise brownout detection is mission-critical.
Does MAX6377XR26 require an external pull-up resistor, and what value is recommended?
Yes, MAX6377XR26 features an open-drain output and requires an external pull-up resistor. A 10kΩ resistor to 3.3V or 5V is typical; selection balances rise time (lower R) against leakage current (higher R). The MAX6377XR26 datasheet specifies that VOL ≤0.4V at ISINK = 100µA, confirming compatibility with standard CMOS logic thresholds.
Can MAX6377XR26 operate reliably below 2.0V VCC, and what is its minimum functional supply voltage?
Yes, MAX6377XR26 is fully specified to operate down to 1.2V VCC and guarantees correct output logic state (active-low assertion when VCC < VTH) down to 1.0V. This capability is explicitly confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables - enabling MAX6377XR26 use in deeply discharged battery scenarios where other detectors fail.
How does MAX6377XR26 handle short voltage transients on the VCC line?
MAX6377XR26 incorporates built-in transient immunity: it ignores negative-going VCC glitches ≤20µs in duration when overdriven by 20mV (i.e., VCC dips to VTH − 20mV). This behavior is characterized in the Typical Operating Characteristics and prevents false resets caused by switching noise or load transients - a key reliability feature of the MAX6377XR26 design.
Is MAX6377XR26 pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX6375–MAX6380 family, and which packages are supported?
MAX6377XR26 uses the SC70-3 package (pin 1 = GND, pin 2 = OUT, pin 3 = VCC), matching the pinout of all MAX6375–MAX6380 XR-series variants. It is not pin-compatible with UR-series (SOT23-3) versions due to different pin numbering - though both share identical terminal functions. Always verify package marking and footprint before substitution.
