Product details
Overview
MAX6439UTEHRD3+ from Maxim Integrated is an ultra-low-power single-output battery monitor with integrated microprocessor supervisor, designed for Li+ and multicell alkaline/NiMH/NiCd systems. It features factory-trimmed 3.00V VCC reset threshold, 150ms reset timeout, 2.925V/3.000V low-battery hysteresis thresholds (LTH/HTH), and consumes only 2.5µA typical supply current at 3.6V. It delivers active-low open-drain LBO and push-pull RESET outputs in a 6-pin SOT23 package for portable medical devices and MP3 players.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6439UTEHRD3+ datasheet, MAX6439UTEHRD3+ pinout, MAX6439UTEHRD3+ application, or MAX6439UTEHRD3+ equivalent, key selection factors include its dual-threshold battery monitoring with 150ms timeout stabilization, independent VCC supervision with manual reset capability, and compatibility with single-cell Li+ (2.9–3.0V range) and two-/three-cell alkaline power rails.
Technical Context
The MAX6439UTEHRD3+ integrates a 1.23V reference, dual comparators, timing circuitry, and logic to implement precise battery state detection with hysteresis. Its LBO output asserts when VBATT falls below 2.925V (LTH) and deasserts only after rising above 3.000V (HTH) for ≥150ms - eliminating chatter during voltage transients.
It provides independent µP supervision via a push-pull RESET output triggered by VCC falling below 2.925V (±75mV), with a fixed 150ms minimum timeout. The MR pin supports debounced manual reset with 1.5kΩ internal pullup and 150ms rising-edge debounce period.
Key Specifications

| 3 | LBO | Open-drain low-battery output; asserted low when VBATT < 2.925V, deasserted after ≥150ms above 3.000V |
| 4 | RESET | Push-pull active-low reset output; asserts when VCC < 2.925V and holds for ≥150ms after VCC recovers |
| 5 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference; common return for VBATT, VCC, and all outputs |
| 6 | VCC | System supply voltage input and secondary power source; powers device when > VBATT and enables VCC supervision |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar battery monitoring and µP supervision applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6440UTEHRD3+ | Identical thresholds and timing, but open-drain RESET output instead of push-pull; requires external pullup resistor | Suitable where RESET must interface to higher-voltage logic (e.g., 5V I/O) or share bus with other open-drain signals | Select MAX6440UTEHRD3+ only if system-level RESET net requires wired-OR capability or level translation |
| TPS3808G125DBVR | Single VDD supervisor (no VBATT monitoring); 1.25V reset threshold; 200ms timeout; 1.6µA quiescent current | Applicable only for VCC-only supervision; lacks battery state awareness and dual-threshold hysteresis | Choose TPS3808G125DBVR only when battery monitoring is handled separately and ultra-low IQ (<2µA) is mandatory |
Compared with MAX6440UTEHRD3+, the MAX6439UTEHRD3+ saves one external component (pullup resistor) and simplifies RESET routing; versus TPS3808G125DBVR, it adds critical battery health visibility but consumes slightly more current - making it optimal for Li+-powered systems needing both functions in one die.

FAQ
What is the exact low-battery threshold behavior of the MAX6439UTEHRD3+?
The MAX6439UTEHRD3+ asserts its LBO output when VBATT drops below 2.925V (LTH) and holds it asserted until VBATT rises above 3.000V (HTH) for a minimum of 150ms. This hysteresis prevents chattering during voltage fluctuations near the trip point, and the timeout ensures system stability before resuming full operation. The thresholds are factory-trimmed and guaranteed over -40°C to +85°C.
Does the MAX6439UTEHRD3+ require external components for basic operation?
No, the MAX6439UTEHRD3+ operates autonomously with no external components required. Its factory-trimmed thresholds, internal 1.5kΩ MR pullup, and push-pull RESET eliminate need for resistors, capacitors, or diodes. Only decoupling capacitors (recommended 0.1µF near VCC/GND) are advised for noise immunity - not functional prerequisites.
How does the manual reset (MR) function interact with the VCC reset in the MAX6439UTEHRD3+?
In the MAX6439UTEHRD3+, pulling MR low generates a one-shot RESET pulse lasting 150ms, independent of VCC level - even if VCC remains above 2.925V. This allows controlled system reset during normal operation. If VCC simultaneously sags below threshold, the internal timer restarts. MR includes 150ms rising-edge debounce to reject switch bounce, ensuring only valid button presses trigger reset.
What is the supply current specification for the MAX6439UTEHRD3+ under typical conditions?
The MAX6439UTEHRD3+ draws 2.5µA typical total supply current (ICC + IBATT) at TA = +25°C with VBATT = 3.6V and VCC = 3.3V, no load. This value increases to ≤7µA maximum across -40°C to +85°C. The ultra-low IQ enables multi-year battery life in always-on applications such as medical sensors and remote controls.
Can the MAX6439UTEHRD3+ monitor batteries other than single-cell Li+?
Yes, the MAX6439UTEHRD3+ is specified for single-cell Li+ (2.9–3.0V range) and also supports two- or three-cell alkaline/NiMH/NiCd systems. Its 1.2V to 5.5V VBATT operating range and factory-trimmed thresholds accommodate nominal 3.0V alkaline stacks and 2.4V NiMH packs. Hysteresis and transient immunity ensure reliable operation despite load-induced voltage droop.
