Product details
Overview
MAX6466XR26+T from Maxim Integrated is a micropower supervisory circuit with open-drain active-low output, 2.6V lower trip threshold (VTH−), 150ms minimum reset timeout period, ±2.5% threshold accuracy over −40°C to +125°C, and 1.0µA supply current at 3.6V - used for reliable power-on reset and brownout detection in battery-powered medical sensors.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6466XR26+T datasheet, MAX6466XR26+T pinout, MAX6466XR26+T application, or MAX6466XR26+T equivalent, key selection considerations include its factory-trimmed 2.6V detection point, guaranteed 150ms reset assertion time after VCC recovery, SC70-3 package footprint, and immunity to sub-20µs voltage transients per threshold overdrive.
Technical Context
The MAX6466XR26+T implements a precision bandgap reference and comparator with internally trimmed resistor networks to set VTH− = 2.600V (±2.5%) and VTH+ = 2.730V (5% hysteresis), ensuring stable reset assertion during supply ramp-up and release during brownout recovery. Its open-drain output requires an external pullup and sinks ≥1mA at VOL ≤ 0.4V when asserted.
Unlike the MAX6461–MAX6463 voltage detectors, the MAX6466XR26+T belongs to the µP supervisory subgroup and guarantees a minimum 150ms reset timeout after VCC exceeds VTH+, independent of propagation delay. It operates across full industrial temperature range (−40°C to +125°C) with no external components required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VTH− Threshold | 2.600V ±2.5% (min 2.535V, max 2.665V at −40°C to +125°C) - sets precise brownout detection level for 2.7V Li-ion systems |
| Reset Timeout | 150ms minimum - ensures microcontroller remains held in reset long enough for power stabilization and clock settling |
| Supply Current | 1.0µA typical at 3.6V - enables multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries without compromising supervision reliability |
| Output Type | Open-drain, active-low - allows level-shifting via external pullup to logic rails up to 6V, isolating reset domain from VCC |
| Hysteresis | 5% (VTH+ = VTH− × 1.05) - prevents output chatter near threshold during slow-ramping or noisy supplies |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive sensors and portable medical devices requiring extended thermal margin |
| Transient Immunity | Immune to falling VCC glitches <20µs at 100mV overdrive - rejects noise without false resets in EMI-prone environments |
Pinout & Package
MAX6466XR26+T is housed in a 3-pin SC70-3 package (2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.9mm), optimized for space-constrained portable designs. Pin 1 is OUT, Pin 2 is GND, and Pin 3 is VCC - compatible with standard SC70 pick-and-place tooling and reflow profiles.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OUT) | Open-drain active-low output | Sinks current when VCC < VTH−; requires external pullup resistor to define logic-high voltage and drive strength |
| 2 (GND) | Analog and digital ground reference | Must be connected directly to low-impedance system ground plane to maintain threshold accuracy and noise immunity |
| 3 (VCC) | Supply input and monitored voltage rail | Both powers the device and serves as the sensed voltage source - no separate sense pin required |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low ICC | 1.0µA supply current enables >10-year battery life in always-on wearable monitors |
| Factory-trimmed VTH− | 2.600V threshold eliminates calibration effort and reduces BOM count vs. discrete resistor-divider solutions |
| Guaranteed tRP | 150ms minimum reset timeout satisfies ARM Cortex-M boot timing requirements without external RC timing |
| 5% internal hysteresis | Eliminates need for external hysteresis resistors and prevents oscillation during marginal supply conditions |
| SC70-3 footprint | 2.0mm × 2.1mm body size supports high-density PCB layouts in hearing aids and implantable sensor modules |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar µP supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3808G125DBVR | Fixed 1.25V threshold, 200ms timeout, 2.5µA ICC, SOT23-5 package | Requires external resistor divider for 2.6V detection; larger footprint and higher current draw | Select when needing longer timeout or compatibility with TI-design ecosystems; not drop-in for 2.6V SC70-3 layout |
| ADM6315-26ARTZ-R7 | 2.63V threshold, 140ms timeout, 1.5µA ICC, SOT23-3 package | Lower hysteresis (2.5%), tighter temp drift (±1.5%), but shorter timeout violates 150ms min requirement | Acceptable where 140ms is sufficient; verify MCU boot timing margins before substitution |
Compared with TPS3808G125DBVR and ADM6315-26ARTZ-R7, the MAX6466XR26+T delivers exact 2.6V detection in SC70-3 with lowest ICC and guaranteed 150ms timeout - making it optimal for space- and power-constrained medical and portable designs where timing compliance is critical.

FAQ
What is the exact VTH− threshold voltage of the MAX6466XR26+T?
The MAX6466XR26+T has a factory-trimmed lower trip threshold (VTH−) of 2.600V at +25°C, with guaranteed range of 2.535V to 2.665V across −40°C to +125°C per ±2.5% accuracy specification. This value is fixed and non-adjustable, matching the "26" suffix in the part number per Table 1a of the datasheet.
Does the MAX6466XR26+T require external components to function?
No, the MAX6466XR26+T operates autonomously with no external components required. Its precision bandgap reference, comparator, and trimmed resistor network are fully integrated. Only an external pullup resistor on the open-drain OUT pin is needed to define the logic-high voltage level - this is mandatory for proper reset signaling.
What is the minimum reset timeout period specified for the MAX6466XR26+T?
The MAX6466XR26+T guarantees a minimum reset timeout period (tRP) of 150ms, measured from the moment VCC rises above VTH+ until the OUT pin releases (goes high-impedance). This parameter is independent of propagation delay and ensures sufficient hold time for microcontroller initialization and clock stabilization.
Can the MAX6466XR26+T be used with a VCC supply below 1.6V?
No - the MAX6466XR26+T is specified for operation only within VCC = +1.6V to +5.5V. Below 1.6V, output sinking capability degrades significantly, and the device may not assert reset reliably. The absolute minimum operating voltage is 1.2V per Absolute Maximum Ratings, but functional operation is not guaranteed below 1.6V.
How does the 5% internal hysteresis of the MAX6466XR26+T improve system reliability?
The 5% internal hysteresis (VTH+ = VTH− × 1.05 = 2.730V) creates distinct turn-on and turn-off thresholds, preventing output oscillation when VCC lingers near 2.6V due to load transients or ripple. This eliminates false resets and ensures clean, monotonic reset assertion and release - critical for deterministic firmware startup.
