Product details
Overview
MAX6801UR29D2-T from Maxim Integrated is a precision microprocessor supervisory circuit with push/pull active-low RESET output, 2.93V factory-trimmed reset threshold, and 20ms minimum reset timeout period. It monitors VCC in 2.85V–5.0V digital systems, asserts reset during brownout/power-down, and guarantees valid RESET down to VCC = 0.7V. Used in portable equipment, controllers, and critical μP power monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6801UR29D2-T datasheet, MAX6801UR29D2-T pinout, MAX6801UR29D2-T application, or MAX6801UR29D2-T equivalent, key selection factors include guaranteed 0.7V operation, 4μA supply current, SOT23-3 package compatibility, and precise 2.93V ±1.8% threshold at +25°C.
Technical Context
The MAX6801UR29D2-T implements a precision bandgap-based reset comparator with factory-trimmed 2.93V threshold and hysteresis optimized for immunity to fast VCC transients (≤30µs at 100mV overdrive). Its push/pull output drives CMOS inputs directly without external pull-up.
Reset assertion is triggered on VCC falling below 2.93V and held for ≥20ms after VCC rises above threshold. The device operates across -40°C to +125°C, with supply current stable from 4μA (VCC = 3.0V) to 5μA (VCC = 5.0V), and maintains RESET validity down to VCC = 0.7V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.93V ±1.8% at +25°C; ensures reliable brownout detection at nominal 2.93V supply level |
| Reset Timeout Period | 20ms minimum; holds processor in reset long enough for stable power recovery |
| Supply Voltage Range | 0.7V to 5.5V; enables operation during deep brownout and full-system power sequencing |
| Supply Current | 4μA at VCC = 3.0V; minimizes battery drain in portable/battery-powered systems |
| Output Type | Active-low push/pull RESET; eliminates need for external pull-up resistor |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C; qualified for industrial and automotive under-hood environments |
| VCC Propagation Delay | 30µs max at 10V/ms VCC fall rate; rejects sub-30µs noise spikes on supply rail |
Pinout & Package
MAX6801UR29D2-T is housed in a RoHS-compliant 3-pin SOT23-3 package (outline 21-0051), with 1.3mm × 2.9mm footprint and 0.95mm height - suitable for space-constrained PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (GND) | Ground Reference | Return path for internal reset comparator and output driver; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| 2 (RESET) | Active-Low Push/Pull Output | Drives μP RESET pin low during fault; actively pulls high when deasserted - no external pull-up required |
| 3 (VCC) | Supply Input | Monitored power rail input; supports operation down to 0.7V while maintaining valid RESET state |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low operating voltage | Guaranteed RESET functionality down to VCC = 0.7V - enables robust reset during severe brownout |
| Precision reset threshold | Factory-trimmed 2.93V ±1.8% at +25°C and ±3% over full temperature range - eliminates manual calibration |
| Transient immunity | Rejects VCC glitches ≤30µs duration at 100mV overdrive - prevents false resets from switching noise |
| No external components | Self-contained reset generator - requires only VCC, GND, and RESET connection to μP - reduces BOM count and layout area |
| Low quiescent current | 4μA typical at 3.0V - extends battery life in always-on portable instrumentation |
Applications
| Portable/Battery-Powered Equipment | Critical μP/μC Power Monitoring |

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 | 2.93V threshold, 20ms timeout, same SOT23-3 package, but higher 15μA supply current and only specified down to VCC = 1.0V | Lacks guaranteed operation below 1.0V - unsuitable for ultra-low-voltage brownout detection | Select MAX809TRD2-T only if supply current >4μA is acceptable and VCC never falls below 1.0V. |
| MAX6327LT29D2-T | 2.93V threshold, 20ms timeout, push/pull output, but rated only to +85°C and consumes 8μA at 3.0V | Not qualified for extended industrial temperature range (-40°C to +125°C) | Choose MAX6327LT29D2-T only for commercial-temperature consumer applications with relaxed thermal requirements. |
Compared with MAX809TRD2-T and MAX6327LT29D2-T, the MAX6801UR29D2-T uniquely combines 0.7V operation, 4μA supply current, and full -40°C to +125°C qualification - making it optimal for battery-critical and thermally demanding embedded systems.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6801UR29D2-T and how tightly is it specified?
The MAX6801UR29D2-T has a factory-trimmed nominal reset threshold of 2.93V, with tolerance of ±1.8% at +25°C and ±3% over the full -40°C to +125°C operating range. This precision eliminates external adjustment and ensures consistent brownout detection across temperature and unit-to-unit variation - critical for reliable μP startup in industrial environments.
Does MAX6801UR29D2-T require an external pull-up resistor on its RESET pin?
No. The MAX6801UR29D2-T features a push/pull active-low RESET output, meaning it actively drives the output low during reset assertion and actively pulls it high when deasserted. Unlike open-drain alternatives, it requires no external pull-up resistor - simplifying design and reducing component count.
What is the minimum supply voltage at which MAX6801UR29D2-T guarantees valid RESET operation?
The MAX6801UR29D2-T guarantees correct RESET/RESET state down to VCC = 0.7V - a key differentiator versus many competing supervisors limited to 1.0V or higher. This enables reliable reset assertion even during deep brownout conditions common in battery-powered systems approaching end-of-life.
How does MAX6801UR29D2-T handle fast transients on the VCC line?
The MAX6801UR29D2-T's reset comparator is designed to reject fast negative-going VCC transients up to 30µs in duration when overdriven by 100mV - preventing false resets caused by switching noise or EMI. This transient immunity is characterized and guaranteed per the Typical Operating Characteristics graphs in the datasheet.
Is MAX6801UR29D2-T compatible with standard SOT23-3 footprints and assembly processes?
Yes. The MAX6801UR29D2-T uses the industry-standard 3-pin SOT23-3 package (outline 21-0051) with 0.95mm height and 0.95mm pitch. It supports standard reflow soldering profiles including lead-free (up to +260°C) and is compatible with automated pick-and-place and AOI inspection systems used in high-volume manufacturing.
