Product details
Overview
MAX6377XR29-T from Maxim Integrated is an ultra-low-power, open-drain, active-low voltage detector optimized for battery monitoring in portable systems. It features a factory-trimmed 2.93V threshold (±2.5% over temperature), 500nA supply current at +25°C, and guaranteed operation down to VCC = 1V. Its SC70-3 package and transient-immune design make it suitable for Li+-powered microcontroller reset supervision.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6377XR29-T datasheet, MAX6377XR29-T pinout, MAX6377XR29-T application, or MAX6377XR29-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.93V trip point, open-drain output with 100µA leakage, ±2.5% threshold accuracy, immunity to sub-200µs VCC glitches, and compatibility with 1.2V–5.5V logic pull-ups.
Technical Context
The MAX6377XR29-T implements a precision bandgap reference and comparator with internally trimmed resistors to set a fixed 2.93V detection threshold. It asserts an active-low signal on OUT when VCC falls below VTH, with hysteresis of 10mV to prevent chatter during slow voltage decay.
Its open-drain output requires an external pull-up and supports sink currents up to 1.6mA while maintaining VOL ≤0.3V. The device ignores fast negative-going transients on VCC-up to 200µs wide when overdriven by 100mV-ensuring robust reset generation in noisy power environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold Voltage | 2.93V (factory-trimmed, ±2.5% over -40°C to +85°C) |
| Supply Current | 500nA at +25°C - enables multi-year battery life in coin-cell applications |
| Output Type | Active-low open-drain - allows flexible logic-level interfacing via external pull-up |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.2V to 5.5V - supports operation during brownout and across diverse supply rails |
| Propagation Delay | 6.3µs (typical) - ensures timely reset assertion without excessive latency |
| Threshold Hysteresis | 10mV - prevents oscillation during slow VCC recovery near trip point |
| Output Leakage | 0.1µA max at VCC = 5.5V - minimizes power loss in high-impedance pull-up configurations |
Pinout & Package
MAX6377XR29-T is housed in a 3-pin SC70-3 package (2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.95mm), optimized for space-constrained portable designs. Pin 1 is GND, Pin 2 is OUT (open-drain), and Pin 3 is VCC.
| 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 current when VCC < 2.93V; requires external pull-up resistor to logic rail |
| 3 | VCC | Supply input - powers internal circuitry; valid from 1.2V to 5.5V; also monitored for threshold violation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 500nA enables >10-year shelf life in CR2032-powered IoT sensors |
| Precision factory-trimmed threshold | 2.93V ±2.5% eliminates need for external resistor dividers or calibration |
| Transient immunity | Rejects VCC glitches ≤200µs wide - prevents false resets in switching regulator environments |
| Wide VCC operating range | 1.2V–5.5V supports direct connection to Li+ cells, LDO outputs, or MCU I/O rails |
| SC70-3 footprint | 2.0mm × 2.1mm area saves >40% board space vs. SOT23-3 in dense wearable layouts |
Applications
| Battery-Powered Microcontroller Reset | Li+ Cell Undervoltage Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Supervising 3.3V MCU power rail powered by a single Li+ cell with declining voltage profile. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Voltage detector providing active-low reset signal to MCU's RESET pin upon VCC drop below 2.93V. Use Value: Prevents MCU lockup or data corruption when battery voltage falls below safe operating level, using only 500nA overhead. |
Use Scenario: Monitoring bare Li+ cell (3.0V–4.2V) to trigger disconnect before deep discharge. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Threshold comparator enabling load switch control via open-drain output. Use Value: Delivers precise 2.93V cutoff with ±2.5% accuracy across temperature - avoids premature shutdown or cell damage. |
| Low-Power Sensor Node Wake-Up | Industrial Data Logger Brownout Detection |
Use Scenario: Waking ultra-low-power sensor node from sleep when main supply recovers above threshold. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Reset supervisor asserting wake signal to microcontroller's interrupt-capable GPIO. Use Value: 6.3µs propagation delay ensures rapid response; 500nA current draw preserves energy budget during extended sleep cycles. |
Use Scenario: Detecting AC/DC adapter failure in industrial logger with backup supercapacitor hold-up. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Brownout detector triggering controlled shutdown sequence before VCC collapses. Use Value: Immunity to 200µs transients prevents spurious shutdown during relay switching or EMI events. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage detector applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV809EC29DBZR | 2.93V threshold, push-pull output, 350nA ICC, SOT23-3 | Requires no pull-up; less flexible for mixed-voltage systems | Prefer when driving CMOS inputs directly and board space permits SOT23-3 |
| APX803S-29SA-7 | 2.93V threshold, open-drain, 800nA ICC, SOT23-3 | Higher supply current; wider tempco (±3.5%) | Acceptable where 500nA is not critical and SOT23-3 is preferred over SC70-3 |
Compared with TLV809EC29DBZR and APX803S-29SA-7, the MAX6377XR29-T uniquely combines SC70-3 size, 500nA current, and open-drain flexibility - making it optimal for miniaturized, multi-rail battery systems requiring minimal quiescent power and configurable logic interfacing.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6377XR29-T?
The MAX6377XR29-T has a factory-trimmed nominal reset threshold of 2.93V, with guaranteed accuracy of ±2.5% over the full operating temperature range (-40°C to +85°C). This value is confirmed in Table 1 of the datasheet and applies specifically to the R29 suffix variant, not the broader MAX6377 family.
Does the MAX6377XR29-T require an external pull-up resistor on its OUT pin?
Yes, the MAX6377XR29-T features an open-drain output and requires an external pull-up resistor connected between OUT and a logic supply (up to 5.5V). Typical values range from 10kΩ to 100kΩ depending on rise-time requirements and bus loading - the device itself sinks up to 1.6mA when asserted.
Can the MAX6377XR29-T operate reliably below 2.0V VCC?
Yes, the MAX6377XR29-T is fully specified to operate down to VCC = 1.2V and guarantees correct output logic state (active-low when VCC < 2.93V) down to 1.0V. This enables use in deep-brownout scenarios such as end-of-life Li+ cells or capacitor-backed systems.
What package type does the MAX6377XR29-T use, and what are its dimensions?
The MAX6377XR29-T uses the SC70-3 package: a 3-pin surface-mount outline measuring 2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.95mm (length × width × height). Its top marking is "ADJ", and it is supplied in tape-and-reel format only per the ordering information.
How does the MAX6377XR29-T handle short voltage transients on the VCC line?
The MAX6377XR29-T rejects negative-going VCC transients up to 200µs in duration when overdriven by 100mV below threshold - as shown in Figure 4 of the datasheet. This built-in immunity prevents false resets during switching noise or load-dump events without requiring external RC filtering.
