Product details
Overview
MAX6466UR46+T from Maxim Integrated is a micropower supervisory circuit with 4.6V lower trip threshold (VTH− = 4.600V typ), 150ms minimum reset timeout, and open-drain active-low output in SOT23-3 package. It monitors system supply voltage, asserts reset during brownout, and holds reset for ≥150ms after recovery-enabling reliable µP initialization in battery-powered medical devices and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6466UR46+T datasheet, MAX6466UR46+T pinout, MAX6466UR46+T application, or MAX6466UR46+T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 150ms timeout at −40°C to +125°C, ±2.5% threshold accuracy over temperature, ultra-low 1.0µA supply current at 3.6V, and immunity to sub-20µs VCC transients.
Technical Context
The MAX6466UR46+T implements a precision bandgap reference and comparator with internally trimmed resistor network to set VTH− = 4.600V (±2.5% over −40°C to +125°C) and VTH+ = 4.830V (5% hysteresis). Its open-drain output requires an external pullup and sinks ≥1mA at 0.4V with VCC ≥ 4.5V.
This device belongs to the MAX6464–MAX6466 subgroup, distinguished by fixed 150ms minimum reset timeout (tRP), unlike the MAX6461–MAX6463 voltage detectors which have 17µs propagation delay and no timeout. All variants operate from 1.2V to 6.0V supply and are specified across automotive-grade temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.2V to 6.0V - supports direct monitoring of Li+ battery (3.0–4.2V), 3.3V/5V rails, and post-regulator outputs without external scaling. |
| Lower Threshold (VTH−) | 4.600V (±2.5% over −40°C to +125°C) - precisely triggers reset when 5V system drops below 4.6V, preventing unstable µP operation. |
| Reset Timeout Period | 150ms min - ensures µP completes power-on reset sequence before releasing reset, meeting ARM Cortex-M and PIC timing requirements. |
| Supply Current | 1.0µA at 3.6V, −40°C to +125°C - enables >10-year battery life in coin-cell–powered IoT sensors and portable diagnostics. |
| Output Type | Open-drain, active-low - allows level-shifting via external pullup to 1.8V/2.5V/3.3V logic, isolating reset domain from VCC domain. |
| Hysteresis | 5% (VTH+ = VTH− × 1.05) - prevents output chatter during slow-rising/falling VCC transitions near 4.6V threshold. |
| Transient Immunity | Immune to ≤18µs glitches at 4.5V overdrive - rejects noise spikes from DC/DC switching without false resets. |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-3 package: 1.3mm × 2.9mm × 1.0mm body, gull-wing leads, RoHS-compliant lead-free finish (+T suffix).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - OUT | Open-drain reset output | Asserts low during VCC < VTH−; requires external pullup resistor (typically 10–100kΩ) to host logic rail; sinks ≥1mA at 0.4V. |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Must be connected directly to system ground plane; serves as return path for internal bandgap and comparator circuits. |
| 3 - VCC | Supply and monitored input | Single pin supplies device and provides voltage under supervision; no external divider needed for 4.6V threshold. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 1.0µA at 3.6V - reduces standby power in always-on medical monitors and wearable ECG units. |
| Factory-trimmed 4.6V threshold | ±2.5% accuracy over full −40°C to +125°C range - eliminates calibration overhead in industrial handheld testers. |
| Guaranteed 150ms reset timeout | Valid from −40°C to +125°C - satisfies JEDEC JESD78 latch-up immunity and MIL-STD-704 voltage sag recovery timing. |
| Internal 5% hysteresis | Prevents oscillation during slow VCC ramp-up (e.g., battery charging circuits), eliminating need for external RC networks. |
| Open-drain output architecture | Enables reset signal translation to lower-voltage logic domains (e.g., 1.8V FPGA I/O) without level translators. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar µP supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6466XR46+T | SC70-3 package (1.25mm × 2.0mm), same electrical specs and 4.6V threshold. | Preferred for ultra-dense layouts where 0.25mm shorter body and 0.1mm lower profile reduce routing congestion. | Select when board real estate is constrained and reflow compatibility with SC70 footprint is confirmed. |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V fixed threshold, 200ms timeout, 1.8µA ICC, SOT23-5 package with manual reset input. | Requires external resistor divider for 4.6V monitoring; adds manual reset capability not present in MAX6466UR46+T. | Choose only if system requires pushbutton-initiated reset or tolerance for ±3% threshold accuracy is acceptable. |
Compared with MAX6466XR46+T, the MAX6466UR46+T offers identical supervision functionality in a slightly larger but more thermally robust SOT23-3 package; versus TPS3808G33DBVR, it delivers exact 4.6V threshold without external components and cuts supply current by 44%, critical for multi-year battery life.

FAQ
What is the exact lower threshold voltage (VTH−) of the MAX6466UR46+T and how accurate is it over temperature?
The MAX6466UR46+T has a factory-set lower threshold of 4.600V (typical at +25°C), with guaranteed accuracy of ±2.5% across the full −40°C to +125°C operating range. This means VTH− remains between 4.485V and 4.715V under all specified conditions, ensuring consistent brownout detection in automotive and industrial environments.
Does the MAX6466UR46+T provide a reset timeout, and what is its minimum duration?
Yes, the MAX6466UR46+T is a µP supervisory circuit with a guaranteed minimum reset timeout period of 150ms. This timeout begins when VCC rises above VTH+ (≈4.83V) and ensures /RESET remains asserted for at least 150ms, satisfying boot timing requirements for most 8-/16-/32-bit microcontrollers including STM32, MSP430, and PIC families.
What output configuration does the MAX6466UR46+T use, and what external components are required?
The MAX6466UR46+T features an open-drain, active-low output (pin 1). It requires only one external component: a pullup resistor (typically 10–100kΩ) connected between OUT and the target logic rail (e.g., 1.8V, 3.3V, or 5V). No capacitors, resistors for threshold setting, or additional biasing are needed-reducing BOM count and layout complexity.
How much supply current does the MAX6466UR46+T consume, and how does it vary with voltage and temperature?
The MAX6466UR46+T draws just 1.0µA typical supply current at 3.6V and −40°C to +125°C. At 5.0V and +25°C, consumption is 1.3µA (max), rising to 3.5µA at +125°C. This ultra-low, predictable current enables decade-long operation from coin cells and simplifies power budgeting in energy-harvesting systems.
Can the MAX6466UR46+T be used to monitor a 5V rail, and what happens during brief voltage dips?
Yes, the MAX6466UR46+T is specifically designed to monitor nominal 5V supplies: its 4.6V threshold provides 400mV headroom before reset assertion. It is immune to transients ≤18µs (at 4.5V overdrive), rejecting common switching regulator noise and ESD-induced sags without false triggering-ensuring robust operation in noisy industrial settings.
