Product details
Overview
MAX6711MEXS+T from Maxim Integrated is a precision microprocessor supervisory circuit with push-pull active-low RESET output, designed for power supply monitoring in +3.3V digital systems. It provides 4.38V reset threshold (±0.05V over -40°C to +125°C), 140ms minimum reset timeout, and 12µA supply current at VCC = 3.3V, enabling reliable brownout detection in portable battery-powered equipment.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6711MEXS+T datasheet, MAX6711MEXS+T pinout, MAX6711MEXS+T application, or MAX6711MEXS+T equivalent, key selection criteria include reset threshold accuracy (±1.1% at +25°C), guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = +1V, manual reset input with internal 20kΩ pull-up, and SC70-4 package compatibility with space-constrained embedded designs.
Technical Context
The MAX6711MEXS+T integrates a precision voltage comparator with temperature-compensated reference (30ppm/°C tempco) and a monostable timer to generate a minimum 140ms reset pulse after VCC rises above its 4.38V threshold. Its push-pull output drives CMOS/TTL logic directly without external pull-up components.
It features glitch-immune manual reset input (100ns immunity), MR-to-RESET delay of 200ns, and operates across full industrial temperature range (-40°C to +125°C) with supply voltage range 1.2V to 5.5V. Reset assertion remains valid even as VCC decays to +1V, ensuring deterministic µP initialization during power-down sequences.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6712MEXS+T | Active-high push-pull RESET output; identical threshold (4.38V), timing, and package | Required where host µP or ASIC expects active-high reset assertion instead of active-low | Select MAX6712MEXS+T only when system architecture mandates high-true reset signaling |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V fixed threshold (±0.5%), 200ms reset timeout, 1.8µA quiescent current, SOT-23-5 package | Larger footprint, different pinout, lower supply current but looser threshold tolerance (±1.5% vs ±1.1%) | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR for ultra-low-power applications where 0.5% threshold accuracy is sufficient |
Compared with MAX6712MEXS+T, the MAX6711MEXS+T provides complementary logic polarity for direct interface to active-low reset pins; versus TPS3808G33DBVR, it offers tighter threshold accuracy (±1.1% vs ±1.5%) and smaller SC70-4 footprint, critical for miniaturized portable designs.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6711MEXS+T and how does it vary with temperature?
The MAX6711MEXS+T has a nominal reset threshold of 4.38V at +25°C, with guaranteed limits of 4.31V to 4.45V over -40°C to +85°C and 4.16V to 4.56V over +85°C to +105°C. Its temperature coefficient is 30ppm/°C, meaning threshold drift is less than ±15mV across the full -40°C to +125°C range. This precision ensures consistent brownout detection in systems powered by +3.3V rails.
Does MAX6711MEXS+T require external components for basic operation?
No, MAX6711MEXS+T requires no external components for core supervision functionality. Its internal 20kΩ MR pull-up resistor enables direct switch connection, and the push-pull RESET output drives µP reset inputs without external pull-up. Only a 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor on VCC is recommended for transient immunity - no resistors, capacitors, or trimming elements are needed for threshold setting or timing.
How does MAX6711MEXS+T ensure reset validity when VCC drops below 1V?
MAX6711MEXS+T guarantees correct RESET logic state down to VCC = +1V. Below this voltage, the output transitions to high-impedance, but since most µPs are nonfunctional below 1V, this behavior is safe. For applications requiring RESET to remain asserted to ground at VCC = 0V, a 100kΩ external pull-down resistor on the RESET pin ensures deterministic low state - a design detail confirmed in Maxim's application note for MAX6711MEXS+T.
What is the minimum pulse width required on the MR pin to trigger a valid reset with MAX6711MEXS+T?
The MR pin of MAX6711MEXS+T requires a minimum pulse width of 1µs to reliably initiate reset assertion. This specification is verified across -40°C to +125°C and ensures compatibility with fast-switching logic families and microcontroller GPIO outputs. The internal 200ns MR-to-RESET delay means reset becomes active within 200ns after MR falls, and remains asserted for ≥140ms after MR returns high.
Can MAX6711MEXS+T be used with a +2.5V supply, and what is its performance at that voltage?
Yes, MAX6711MEXS+T operates with VCC as low as 1.2V, making it fully compatible with +2.5V systems. At VCC = 2.5V, its reset threshold remains 4.38V - which is invalid for direct monitoring. However, the MAX6711 family includes variant suffixes (e.g., MAX6711ZEXS+T) with 2.32V threshold for +2.5V rails. MAX6711MEXS+T is specifically calibrated for +3.3V systems and must be paired with appropriate voltage rail matching.
