Product details
Overview
MAX6801UR29D2 from Maxim Integrated is a precision microprocessor supervisory circuit in SOT23-3 package, providing active-low push/pull reset assertion when VCC drops below 2.93V, with guaranteed reset validity down to 0.7V and a minimum 20ms timeout period. It monitors power supplies in battery-powered controllers and embedded systems requiring reliable brownout detection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6801UR29D2 datasheet, MAX6801UR29D2 pinout, MAX6801UR29D2 application, or MAX6801UR29D2 equivalent, key selection criteria include factory-trimmed 2.93V threshold accuracy (±1.8% at +25°C), ultra-low 4µA supply current at 3V, 20ms min reset timeout stability over -40°C to +125°C, and compatibility with bidirectional µP reset pins via push/pull drive strength.
Technical Context
The MAX6801UR29D2 integrates a precision voltage comparator with factory-trimmed 2.93V reset threshold and hysteresis, coupled to an internal timer that guarantees ≥20ms reset pulse width after VCC recovers above threshold. Its push/pull output drives RESET low with 50µA sink capability at VCC ≥ 1.0V (VOL ≤ 0.4V) and releases high with VOH ≥ 0.8×VCC at ISOURCE = 500µA.
Designed for immunity to fast transients, the reset comparator ignores VCC glitches <30µs at 100mV overdrive, and operates across full VCC range (0.7V to 5.5V) while maintaining valid RESET/RESET states-critical for safe power-down sequencing in portable instrumentation and industrial controllers.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX809TRD2-T | Same 2.93V threshold and 20ms timeout, but rated only to +85°C; 10µA ICC vs. 4µA | Limited to commercial-temperature consumer electronics-not suitable for automotive or extended industrial use | Select MAX809TRD2-T only if ambient temperature stays ≤+85°C and higher supply current is acceptable |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 2.93V threshold with 20ms timeout, but open-drain output requiring external pull-up; 1.6µA ICC | Requires additional resistor; better for shared-reset bus architectures but adds layout complexity | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR when interfacing with multiple devices on common RESET line or when lowest ICC is critical |
Compared with MAX809TRD2-T and TPS3808G33DBVR, MAX6801UR29D2 delivers superior thermal robustness (-40°C to +125°C), lowest active current among push/pull alternatives, and zero-component interface-making it optimal for space- and reliability-critical embedded systems where board area and long-term stability are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6801UR29D2 and how tightly is it specified?
The MAX6801UR29D2 has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 2.93V, with ±1.8% tolerance at +25°C and ±3% over the full -40°C to +125°C operating range. This precision eliminates need for external trimming components and ensures consistent brownout detection across temperature extremes-critical for reliable operation in automotive and industrial applications where supply rails vary significantly.
Does MAX6801UR29D2 require an external pull-up resistor on its RESET pin?
No, MAX6801UR29D2 does not require an external pull-up resistor because it features a push/pull output stage. The RESET pin actively drives low during reset assertion and actively pulls high when released-providing a clean, low-impedance interface to microcontroller reset inputs without added components or leakage concerns.
What is the minimum VCC voltage at which MAX6801UR29D2 guarantees valid RESET output?
MAX6801UR29D2 guarantees valid RESET/RESET output down to VCC = 0.7V across the full -40°C to +125°C temperature range. This ensures deterministic reset behavior during deep brownout conditions-enabling safe shutdown sequences and preventing partial execution of firmware in battery-powered or automotive systems where supply collapse may occur rapidly.
How does MAX6801UR29D2 handle fast transients on the VCC supply line?
MAX6801UR29D2's reset comparator is designed to reject fast negative-going VCC transients: it ignores pulses <30µs wide at 100mV overdrive, per the Maximum Transient Duration vs. Reset Comparator Overdrive graph in the datasheet. This immunity prevents spurious resets in electrically noisy environments such as motor drives or switch-mode power supply domains-enhancing system robustness without external filtering.
What package type and footprint does MAX6801UR29D2 use, and is it RoHS-compliant?
MAX6801UR29D2 uses the 3-pin SOT23-3 package (outline 21-0051) with 1.3mm × 2.9mm body size and 0.95mm height. It is available in both leaded and lead-free versions; the "-T" suffix denotes leaded packaging, while "+T" indicates RoHS-compliant lead-free construction-ensuring compliance with global environmental regulations and compatibility with modern reflow soldering processes.
