Product details
Overview
MAX6377XR27+ from Maxim Integrated is an ultra-low-power, open-drain, active-low voltage detector with a factory-trimmed threshold of 2.700V ±2.5% over temperature, 500nA supply current, and operation down to 1V VCC. It monitors system supply voltage in portable battery-powered equipment and asserts OUT low when VCC falls below the threshold.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6377XR27+ datasheet, MAX6377XR27+ pinout, MAX6377XR27+ application, or MAX6377XR27+ equivalent, this device is selected for precision reset supervision in space-constrained, low-quiescent-current designs requiring guaranteed logic state down to 1V and immunity to fast VCC transients.
Technical Context
The MAX6377XR27+ implements a precision bandgap reference and comparator with internally trimmed resistors to set its 2.700V threshold. Its open-drain output requires an external pull-up and sinks current only when asserted (VCC < VTH), enabling flexible logic-level interfacing up to 5.5V.
It features built-in transient immunity: negative-going VCC glitches shorter than ~100µs (at 70mV overdrive) are rejected. The device guarantees correct output state across -40°C to +85°C and maintains ±2.5% threshold accuracy without external calibration.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Threshold Voltage | 2.700V ±2.5% over -40°C to +85°C - ensures reliable reset assertion across industrial temperature range without derating. |
| Supply Current | 500nA typical at +25°C - enables multi-year battery life in coin-cell–powered devices like wearables and IoT sensors. |
| Output Type | Active-low, open-drain - allows wired-OR configuration and level-shifting via external pull-up to any voltage ≤5.5V. |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.2V to 5.5V - supports supervision of Li+ battery (3.0–4.2V), 3.3V/2.5V logic rails, and brown-out detection down to 1.2V. |
| Propagation Delay | 6.3µs typical (falling edge) - provides fast response to undervoltage events while rejecting sub-microsecond noise. |
| Threshold Hysteresis | 100mV - prevents output chatter during slow VCC recovery near trip point. |
| Tempco | 40ppm/°C - contributes to tight overall temperature drift, supporting stable performance in thermally varying environments. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6377XR27+ is housed in a 3-pin SC70 package (JEDEC MO-203AA), footprint-compatible with SOT23-3 but 30% smaller. Pin 1 = GND, Pin 2 = OUT, Pin 3 = VCC.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (GND) | Ground reference | Return path for internal bandgap and comparator; must be low-impedance to ensure threshold stability. |
| 2 (OUT) | Active-low open-drain output | Sinks current when VCC < VTH; requires external pull-up resistor to define high-state voltage and logic level. |
| 3 (VCC) | Supply input | Powers internal circuitry; monitored voltage rail; operates from 1.2V to 5.5V with guaranteed output state down to 1V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low 500nA supply current | Extends battery service life in always-on monitoring applications such as smart meters and medical patches. |
| ±2.5% threshold accuracy over temperature | Eliminates need for system-level calibration or margining, reducing BOM count and firmware complexity. |
| Open-drain output with 5.5V-tolerant sink | Enables direct interface to 1.8V, 3.3V, or 5V microcontrollers without level translators. |
| 100mV internal hysteresis | Prevents oscillation during slow-rising power rails or noisy supply conditions without external components. |
| Immunity to VCC transients ≤100µs | Rejects switching noise from DC/DC converters and digital load transients, improving system robustness. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV803EB27DBZR | 2.7V threshold, 350nA IQ, SOT23-3, push-pull active-low output | Push-pull eliminates need for external pull-up; lower IQ but no open-drain flexibility | Select when board layout lacks space for pull-up resistor and interfacing to mixed-voltage logic is not required. |
| APX803S-27SA-7 | 2.7V threshold, 600nA IQ, SOT23-3, open-drain active-low; ±2.0% initial accuracy | Higher initial accuracy but wider tempco (60ppm/°C); same SC70/SOT23 footprint compatibility | Select when tighter room-temperature tolerance is prioritized over long-term thermal stability. |
Compared with TLV803EB27DBZR and APX803S-27SA-7, the MAX6377XR27+ offers superior temperature stability (40ppm/°C vs. ≥60ppm/°C) and guaranteed 1V operation-critical for battery end-of-life detection-while retaining open-drain versatility for multi-rail systems.

FAQ
What is the exact factory-trimmed threshold voltage of the MAX6377XR27+?
The MAX6377XR27+ has a nominal threshold voltage of 2.700V, with guaranteed limits of 2.633V (min) and 2.768V (max) across the full -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range, per Table 1 in the datasheet. This 2.7V setting targets applications supervising 3.0V nominal rails with 10% headroom.
Does the MAX6377XR27+ require an external pull-up resistor on the OUT pin?
Yes, the MAX6377XR27+ features an open-drain output and requires an external pull-up resistor connected between OUT and a logic supply (up to 5.5V). The resistor value must be chosen to ensure VOL ≤0.4V at ISINK = 100µA while meeting rise-time requirements of the driven load.
Can the MAX6377XR27+ operate reliably at VCC = 1.2V?
Yes, the MAX6377XR27+ is fully specified to maintain correct output logic state (active-low when VCC < VTH) down to VCC = 1.0V. At 1.2V, it delivers full functionality including 500nA supply current and valid output drive, making it suitable for end-of-life battery detection.
What is the maximum allowable negative-going VCC transient duration the MAX6377XR27+ can reject?
At a 70mV threshold overdrive (i.e., VCC = VTH − 70mV = 2.63V), the MAX6377XR27+ rejects transients up to approximately 100µs, as shown in Figure 4 of the datasheet. Shorter transients are ignored; longer ones will assert the output, ensuring immunity to typical DC/DC switching noise.
Is the MAX6377XR27+ pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX6375–MAX6380 family?
Yes, all MAX6375–MAX6380 variants-including MAX6377XR27+-share identical 3-pin SC70 and SOT23-3 footprints and pinouts (GND, OUT, VCC). Threshold, output type (open-drain vs. push-pull), and tempco are the only functional differences between family members.
