Product details
Overview
MAX6379UR46+T from Maxim Integrated is an ultra-low-power, active-high push-pull voltage detector designed for precision supply monitoring in battery-powered systems. It features a factory-trimmed 4.63V threshold (±2.5% over temperature), 500nA supply current, and guaranteed operation down to 1V VCC. It asserts a logic-high output when VCC falls below threshold and is used in portable equipment power sequencing and Li+-battery backup supervision.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6379UR46+T datasheet, MAX6379UR46+T pinout, MAX6379UR46+T application, or MAX6379UR46+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4.63V trip point, active-high push-pull output drive capability, SC70/SOT23-3 package compatibility, and immunity to sub-10µs VCC transients at 100mV overdrive.
Technical Context
The MAX6379UR46+T implements a precision bandgap reference and comparator with internally trimmed resistors to set its 4.63V detection threshold. Its active-high push-pull output drives high (VOH ≥ 0.8×VCC) when VCC drops below VTH and low (VOL ≤ 0.4V) otherwise, eliminating external pull-up components.
It operates across -40°C to +85°C with ±2.5% threshold accuracy and 40ppm/°C tempco. Propagation delay is 9.5µs (typical) for rising/falling edges, and it rejects fast VCC transients - tolerating up to ~120µs glitches at 100mV underdrive per the transient immunity curve.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage detector applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV803EB33DBZR | 3.3V threshold, open-drain output, 1.8µA supply current | Requires external pull-up; higher ICC reduces battery life in ultra-low-power designs | Choose when 3.3V detection and I²C-bus compatibility are required |
| APX803S-46SA-7 | 4.63V threshold, active-high push-pull, 1.2µA supply current | Slightly higher ICC than MAX6379UR46+T; same SOT23-3 footprint but different marking and tempco (60ppm/°C) | Choose when AEC-Q100 qualification is needed for automotive body electronics |
Compared with TLV803EB33DBZR and APX803S-46SA-7, the MAX6379UR46+T delivers the lowest supply current (500nA) and tightest tempco (40ppm/°C) among 4.63V detectors in SOT23-3, making it optimal for long-life portable and medical devices where leakage and thermal drift are critical.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6379UR46+T?
The MAX6379UR46+T has a factory-trimmed nominal reset threshold of 4.63V, with guaranteed accuracy of ±2.5% over the full -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range. This value is confirmed in Table 1 of the official datasheet and corresponds to the "R46" suffix in the part number. The device maintains this specification without external calibration or trimming components.
Does the MAX6379UR46+T require an external pull-up resistor on its output?
No, the MAX6379UR46+T does not require an external pull-up resistor because it features an active-high push-pull output stage. Pin 2 (OUT) actively drives high (VOH ≥ 0.8×VCC) when VCC falls below 4.63V and actively drives low (VOL ≤ 0.4V) otherwise. This eliminates BOM cost and board space associated with discrete pull-up resistors commonly needed with open-drain detectors.
What package type and dimensions does the MAX6379UR46+T use?
The MAX6379UR46+T is supplied in a lead-free, RoHS-compliant 3-pin SOT23-3 package (JEDEC MO-178AA), measuring 2.92mm × 1.3mm × 1.0mm. Its pinout is standardized: Pin 1 = GND, Pin 2 = OUT, Pin 3 = VCC. This compact footprint is identical to other members of the MAX6375–MAX6380 family and supports automated pick-and-place assembly.
Can the MAX6379UR46+T operate reliably below 1.2V VCC?
Yes - the MAX6379UR46+T is guaranteed to maintain correct output logic state (active-high when VCC < VTH) down to 1.0V VCC, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. While its recommended operating range starts at 1.2V, functional behavior remains valid at 1.0V, enabling use in deep brownout detection scenarios where other supervisors may fail.
How does the MAX6379UR46+T handle short voltage transients on the VCC line?
The MAX6379UR46+T incorporates built-in transient immunity that suppresses false triggering from fast VCC glitches. Per the Typical Operating Characteristics graph "Maximum Transient Duration vs. Threshold Overdrive", it ignores negative-going transients shorter than ~120µs when VCC dips 100mV below 4.63V. This design prevents spurious resets during switching noise or load dump events in portable and industrial systems.
