Product details
Overview
MAX6439UTEHRD3+T from Maxim Integrated is a single-output, ultra-low-power battery monitor with integrated microprocessor supervisor. It features factory-trimmed 2.925V/3.000V hysteresis thresholds (LTH/HTH), 150ms LBO timeout, 2.5µA typical supply current at 3.6V, and push-pull RESET output. It monitors single-cell Li+ or multicell alkaline/NiMH batteries in portable medical devices and MP3 players.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6439UTEHRD3+T datasheet, MAX6439UTEHRD3+T pinout, MAX6439UTEHRD3+T application, or MAX6439UTEHRD3+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-threshold hysteresis behavior, VCC reset threshold of 2.925V (±75mV), 150ms reset timeout, SOT23-6 package compatibility, and manual reset support via MR pin.
Technical Context
The MAX6439UTEHRD3+T integrates a 1.23V reference, two comparators, timing circuitry, and logic to deliver precise battery state detection. Its dual-threshold architecture (LTH = 2.925V, HTH = 3.000V) provides 75mV hysteresis, eliminating output chatter during voltage transients near threshold.
It operates independently on VBATT or VCC (1.2V–5.5V), with power sourced from the higher of the two rails. The push-pull RESET output asserts low when VCC falls below 2.925V and remains low for ≥150ms after VCC exceeds the threshold, ensuring stable microprocessor initialization.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBATT Thresholds | LTH = 2.925V, HTH = 3.000V - factory-trimmed hysteresis pair for reliable low-battery detection without external components |
| VCC Reset Threshold | 2.925V ±75mV - fixed threshold enabling robust µP reset at defined supply voltage collapse point |
| Supply Current | 2.5µA typ at 3.6V - enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered systems |
| LBO Timeout Period | 150ms min - ensures stable battery voltage before deasserting low-battery signal |
| RESET Output Type | Push-pull - eliminates need for external pull-up resistor; drives high to 0.8×VCC when deasserted |
| Operating Temp Range | −40°C to +85°C - supports industrial and consumer portable equipment deployment |
| Package | SOT23-6 - 2.9mm × 1.6mm footprint compatible with high-density PCB layouts |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-6 package: 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm body, 0.95mm lead pitch, lead-free +T variant compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VBATT | Battery voltage input & primary power rail | Monitors battery health and powers device if VBATT > VCC; accepts 1.2V–5.5V |
| 2 - MR | Manual reset input (active-low) | Internal 1.5kΩ pullup to VCC; debounced 150ms rising-edge rejection prevents switch bounce false triggers |
| 3 - LBO | Low-battery output (active-low, open-drain) | Asserts when VBATT < 2.925V; deasserts only after VBATT > 3.000V for ≥150ms |
| 4 - RESET | Microprocessor reset output (active-low, push-pull) | Asserts when VCC < 2.925V; holds low ≥150ms post-threshold recovery; no external pull-up needed |
| 5 - GND | Analog/digital ground reference | Common return path for VBATT, VCC, and all internal circuitry; must be low-impedance |
| 6 - VCC | System supply voltage input & reset monitor rail | Supplies device if VCC > VBATT; monitored for µP reset; range: 1.2V–5.5V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-trimmed dual thresholds | 2.925V/3.000V hysteresis eliminates need for external resistors or calibration in Li+/alkaline systems |
| Immunity to short VBATT transients | Withstands ≤100µs transients up to 75mV overdrive - prevents false LBO assertion during load switching |
| Integrated manual reset | MR pin with internal 1.5kΩ pullup and 150ms debounce enables push-button reset without external RC network |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 2.5µA typical at 3.6V extends battery life in always-on monitoring applications |
| No external components required | Self-contained supervision: reference, comparators, timing, logic, and output drivers integrated in one die |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar battery monitor and µP supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6440UTEHRD3+T | Same thresholds (2.925V/3.000V), same SOT23-6 package, but open-drain RESET output instead of push-pull | Requires external pull-up resistor on RESET; suitable where level-shifting or wired-OR reset bus is needed | Select MAX6440UTEHRD3+T only if system design mandates open-drain reset signaling or shares RESET line with other devices |
| TPS3808G125DBVR | Single-threshold supervisor (1.25V reset), no battery monitoring; 1.6µA IQ, 200ms timeout, SOT23-6 | Only supervises VCC - lacks VBATT monitoring, LBO output, and hysteresis; not a functional substitute for battery state awareness | Choose TPS3808G125DBVR only for basic VCC-only reset needs where battery voltage tracking is handled elsewhere |
Compared with MAX6440UTEHRD3+T and TPS3808G125DBVR, the MAX6439UTEHRD3+T uniquely combines dual-threshold battery monitoring with push-pull RESET in a single SOT23-6 IC - eliminating both external components and design compromises required by alternatives.

FAQ
What is the exact LTH and HTH voltage threshold pair for MAX6439UTEHRD3+T?
The MAX6439UTEHRD3+T has factory-trimmed lower and upper battery thresholds of LTH = 2.925V and HTH = 3.000V, providing 75mV hysteresis. These values are specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "MAX6439UTE" row for LTH and HTH columns, with typical tolerance ±75mV across −40°C to +85°C.
Does MAX6439UTEHRD3+T require external components for basic operation?
No, the MAX6439UTEHRD3+T requires zero external components for full functionality. Its factory-trimmed thresholds, integrated 1.23V reference, comparator circuitry, timing blocks, and push-pull RESET output eliminate the need for resistors, capacitors, or external references - enabling direct drop-in use in space-constrained designs.
What is the function of the MR pin on MAX6439UTEHRD3+T?
The MR pin on MAX6439UTEHRD3+T is an active-low manual reset input with internal 1.5kΩ pullup to VCC. When pulled low, it triggers a one-shot RESET pulse with 150ms timeout. It includes 150ms rising-edge debounce to suppress switch bounce, and supports CMOS-level or push-button drive without external circuitry.
How does the push-pull RESET output of MAX6439UTEHRD3+T differ from open-drain alternatives?
The push-pull RESET output of MAX6439UTEHRD3+T actively drives high (to 0.8×VCC) and low (≤0.3V), eliminating the need for an external pull-up resistor. This reduces BOM count, improves noise immunity on the reset line, and ensures faster rise times compared to open-drain variants like MAX6440UTEHRD3+T, which require external pull-up for high-state assertion.
What is the supply current consumption of MAX6439UTEHRD3+T at 3.6V?
The MAX6439UTEHRD3+T draws 2.5µA typical total supply current (ICC + IBATT) at VBATT = 3.6V and VCC = 3.3V, with no load. This ultra-low quiescent current enables multi-year battery life in always-on monitoring applications such as portable medical sensors and low-duty-cycle consumer electronics.
