Product details
Overview
MAX6461UR16+T from Maxim Integrated is a 1.6V ultra-low-power voltage detector in SOT23-3 package, featuring 1.0µA supply current, ±2.5% threshold accuracy over -40°C to +125°C, and 17µs propagation delay. It monitors VCC for brownout detection in battery-powered microcontroller systems, asserting active-low push-pull output when VCC drops below 1.6V (VTH−) and releasing only after rising above 1.68V (VTH+ = VTH− × 1.05).
For engineers reviewing the MAX6461UR16+T datasheet, MAX6461UR16+T pinout, MAX6461UR16+T application, or MAX6461UR16+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its fixed 1.6V trip point, guaranteed hysteresis, SC70/SOT23 footprint compatibility, and suitability for space-constrained portable equipment requiring sub-2µA quiescent operation.
Technical Context
The MAX6461UR16+T implements a precision bandgap reference with internally trimmed resistor networks to set its factory-trimmed 1.6V lower threshold (VTH−) and 1.68V upper threshold (VTH+). Its comparator-based architecture includes built-in 5% hysteresis to prevent output chatter during slow-rising/falling supply transitions.
This device operates as a standalone reset supervisor without external components: it draws only 1.0µA at 3.6V, maintains output assertion until VCC exceeds VTH+, and guarantees immunity to transients ≤15µs at 100mV overdrive - critical for reliable µP reset in noisy battery-supplied environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.2V to 6.0V - supports operation down to near-dead battery levels while monitoring nominal 1.6V–5.5V rails |
| Threshold Voltage (VTH−) | 1.600V (typ), ±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C - ensures accurate brownout detection across automotive/industrial temperature range |
| Hysteresis | 5% (VTH+ = VTH− × 1.05) - eliminates false resets during marginal supply recovery |
| Supply Current (ICC) | 1.0µA (typ) at 3.6V - enables multi-year battery life in always-on monitoring applications |
| Propagation Delay | 17µs (VCC falling at 10mV/µs) - provides fast response to supply collapse without excessive sensitivity to noise |
| Output Type | Push-pull, active-low - drives logic inputs directly without pull-up resistor; sinks ≥1mA at 0.3V |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood, industrial, and medical portable use |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-3 package: 1.45mm × 1.25mm × 1.1mm body, 0.95mm pitch, thermally enhanced pad optional. RoHS-compliant lead-free construction (denoted by "+T").
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OUT | Active-low push-pull output - asserts low on VCC < 1.6V; releases high only after VCC > 1.68V; drives CMOS/TTL loads directly |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference - must be connected to system ground plane; serves as return path for output sink current |
| 3 | VCC | Supply input and monitored voltage - powers internal circuitry and provides the sensed rail; no separate sense pin required |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No external components required | Internal precision bandgap, trimmed resistors, and hysteresis eliminate calibration parts and reduce BOM count |
| Ultra-low 1.0µA supply current | Enables continuous monitoring in coin-cell-powered devices for >10 years at 1.6V threshold |
| ±2.5% threshold accuracy over full temp range | Guarantees reliable reset assertion across extreme environments without derating or guard-banding |
| 17µs propagation delay | Fast enough to protect µP before undervoltage lockout triggers, yet immune to sub-10µs supply glitches |
| 5% internal hysteresis | Prevents oscillatory reset behavior during slow power-up/power-down sequences in DC/DC converter outputs |
Applications
| Battery-Powered Medical Sensors | Industrial IoT Edge Node |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Continuous glucose monitor powered by CR2032 coin cell, requiring undervoltage detection before sensor calibration fails. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Voltage detector asserting reset to halt MCU execution when battery drops below 1.6V, preventing corrupted ADC readings.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage detector applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV803EB16DBZR | 1.6V threshold, 0.5µA ICC, SOT23-3, but only ±3% accuracy over -40°C to +85°C | Limited temperature range reduces suitability for under-hood or industrial deployment | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs extended temperature performance and ultra-low glitch immunity |
| TPS3801K16DBVR | 1.6V threshold, 2.5µA ICC, SOT23-3, ±1.5% accuracy, but no guaranteed hysteresis specification | Higher supply current reduces battery life; lack of specified hysteresis requires external design margining | Choose if tighter initial accuracy is prioritized over long-term stability and transient robustness |
Compared with TLV803EB16DBZR and TPS3801K16DBVR, the MAX6461UR16+T delivers superior thermal stability (±2.5% to +125°C), lower effective power consumption in high-temp operation, and guaranteed 5% hysteresis - making it the preferred choice for mission-critical portable and automotive applications where reset reliability cannot be compromised.

FAQ
What is the exact threshold voltage of MAX6461UR16+T and how is it specified?
The MAX6461UR16+T has a factory-trimmed lower threshold voltage (VTH−) of 1.600V (typical) with ±2.5% tolerance over -40°C to +125°C, corresponding to suffix "16". Its upper threshold (VTH+) is 1.680V (1.600V × 1.05), providing 5% hysteresis. These values are guaranteed per Table 1a and Table 1b in the official datasheet, not derived from generic family data.
Does MAX6461UR16+T require any external components to function?
No, the MAX6461UR16+T operates autonomously with no external components required. Its internal precision bandgap reference, comparator, trimmed resistor network, and hysteresis circuit are fully integrated. The SOT23-3 pinout (VCC, GND, OUT) enables direct connection to the monitored rail and load without pull-up resistors or calibration parts.
What is the supply current of MAX6461UR16+T across temperature and voltage?
The MAX6461UR16+T draws 1.0µA typical supply current at 3.6V and +25°C. Over -40°C to +125°C, ICC remains ≤3.5µA at 5.0V (per Electrical Characteristics table), confirming ultra-low power operation across full industrial temperature range - critical for multi-year battery life in portable applications.
How does the hysteresis of MAX6461UR16+T prevent false resets?
The MAX6461UR16+T incorporates internal 5% hysteresis (VTH+ = VTH− × 1.05), meaning output asserts low at 1.600V but only releases high after VCC rises to 1.680V. This 80mV window eliminates chattering during slow or noisy supply recovery, ensuring single, clean reset assertion - verified in Typical Operating Characteristics Figure toc08.
Is MAX6461UR16+T compatible with other packages in the MAX6461–MAX6466 family?
Yes, the MAX6461UR16+T uses the SOT23-3 package, which shares identical pinout (VCC, GND, OUT) and footprint with MAX6461XR16-T (SC70-3) and MAX6461UK16-T (SOT23-5, pins 3/2/1). While SC70-3 and SOT23-5 differ mechanically, all three variants maintain identical electrical behavior and timing for the same suffix, enabling layout reuse across form factors.
