Product details
Overview
MAX6463UR42+T from Maxim Integrated is a precision ultra-low-power voltage detector IC designed for battery and power-supply monitoring in space-constrained portable systems. It features a factory-set 4.2V lower trip threshold (VTH−), 4.41V upper trip threshold (VTH+), 1.0µA supply current at 3.6V, 17µs propagation delay, and ±2.5% threshold accuracy over −40°C to +125°C - used to assert an active-low open-drain reset signal during brownout conditions in Li-ion-powered devices.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6463UR42+T datasheet, MAX6463UR42+T pinout, MAX6463UR42+T application, or MAX6463UR42+T equivalent, key selection considerations include its open-drain output architecture, 4.2V detection point for 4.2V Li-ion cell end-of-charge monitoring, guaranteed hysteresis (5%), and SOT23-3 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MAX6463UR42+T implements a precision bandgap reference and comparator-based detection circuit with internally trimmed resistor networks to set VTH− = 4.200V (±2.5%) and VTH+ = 4.410V (5% hysteresis). Its open-drain output requires an external pullup and sinks current when VCC falls below VTH−, remaining asserted until VCC rises above VTH+.
No external components are needed for basic operation. Immunity to short transients is achieved via internal timing control, and the device remains functional down to VCC = 1.2V while consuming only 1.0µA typical supply current at 3.6V across the full industrial temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Current | 1.0µA typical at 3.6V - enables multi-year battery life in always-on monitoring applications |
| Lower Threshold (VTH−) | 4.200V ±2.5% (−40°C to +125°C) - precisely matches nominal 4.2V Li-ion cell full-charge voltage |
| Upper Threshold (VTH+) | 4.410V (VTH− × 1.05) - provides 5% hysteresis to prevent output chatter near trip point |
| Propagation Delay | 17µs (VCC falling at 10mV/µs) - ensures fast response to supply collapse without false triggering |
| Output Type | Active-low open-drain - allows level-shifting to logic supplies up to 6V using external pullup |
| Operating Voltage Range | 1.2V to 6.0V - supports operation even during deep discharge or post-reset startup |
| Temperature Range | −40°C to +125°C - qualified for automotive cabin, industrial, and medical portable environments |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-3 package (3-pin, 1.3mm × 2.9mm footprint), lead-free, RoHS-compliant, tape-and-reel delivery.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 OUT | Open-drain output | Asserts low when VCC < VTH−; requires external pullup resistor; compatible with 0–6V logic domains |
| 2 GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for internal circuitry and output sink current; must be connected to system ground |
| 3 VCC | Supply and monitored input | Single pin serves as both power source and voltage sense node; monitors itself directly |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 1.0µA max at 3.6V - reduces standby power loss by >90% vs. comparable supervisory ICs |
| Factory-trimmed threshold | 4.200V ±2.5% over full temperature range - eliminates need for external calibration or trimming |
| Internal 5% hysteresis | VTH+ = VTH− × 1.05 - prevents oscillation during slow-rising/falling supply transitions |
| No external components required | Self-contained detection circuit - reduces BOM count, board area, and design validation effort |
| Transient immunity | Immune to sub-20µs voltage glitches at ≥100mV overdrive - improves reliability in noisy power environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage detector applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV803EB42DBZR | 4.2V threshold, push-pull active-low output, 0.5µA ICC, SOT23-3 | Lacks open-drain flexibility; fixed push-pull limits logic-level translation capability | Prefer MAX6463UR42+T when interfacing to mixed-voltage systems requiring external pullup |
| APX803S-42SA-7 | 4.2V threshold, open-drain active-low, 1.2µA ICC, SOT23-3, ±2.0% accuracy | Tighter threshold tolerance but higher supply current and narrower temp range (−40°C to +85°C) | Prefer MAX6463UR42+T for extended temperature operation and lower ICC in battery-critical designs |
Compared with TLV803EB42DBZR and APX803S-42SA-7, the MAX6463UR42+T uniquely combines open-drain output, 1.0µA supply current, ±2.5% accuracy over −40°C to +125°C, and factory-set 4.2V threshold - making it optimal for long-life, wide-temp, level-shifted reset applications in portable electronics.

FAQ
What is the exact voltage threshold of the MAX6463UR42+T?
The MAX6463UR42+T has a factory-set lower trip threshold (VTH−) of 4.200V ±2.5% over −40°C to +125°C, and an upper trip threshold (VTH+) of 4.410V (5% hysteresis). These values are confirmed in Table 1a and 1b of the official datasheet and apply directly to the MAX6463UR42+T variant.
Does the MAX6463UR42+T require external components to operate?
No, the MAX6463UR42+T operates autonomously with no external components required for basic voltage detection. However, because it uses an open-drain output, an external pullup resistor is mandatory to establish a defined logic-high state when the output is not asserted - typically connected between OUT and the target logic supply (e.g., 1.8V, 3.3V, or 5V).
What package type and pin count does the MAX6463UR42+T use?
The MAX6463UR42+T is supplied in a 3-pin SOT23-3 package (1.3mm × 2.9mm footprint), with pin 1 = OUT, pin 2 = GND, and pin 3 = VCC. This matches the ordering code "UR" suffix and is distinct from SC70-3 ("XR") and SOT23-5 ("UK") variants in the same family.
How does the MAX6463UR42+T handle short voltage transients?
The MAX6463UR42+T is immune to short-duration falling VCC transients - for example, a 100mV overdrive (i.e., VCC dropping 100mV below VTH−) can last up to ~15µs without causing output assertion, as shown in Figure 4 of the datasheet. This prevents false resets during switching noise or load dumps.
Is the MAX6463UR42+T suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the MAX6463UR42+T is specified from −40°C to +125°C and qualified for operation in automotive cabin environments. Its 4.2V threshold aligns with common Li-ion battery monitoring needs in telematics, ADAS sensors, and infotainment accessories - though system-level AEC-Q100 qualification must be verified per application.
