Product details
Overview
MAX6801UR29D3+T from Maxim Integrated is a precision 2.93V active-low microprocessor supervisory circuit in a 3-pin SOT23 package, designed to monitor VCC supply voltage and assert a push/pull RESET signal during power-up, brownout, or power-down events. It guarantees valid reset operation down to 0.7V VCC, features 100ms minimum reset timeout, consumes only 4–12µA supply current, and operates across –40°C to +125°C for industrial and automotive embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6801UR29D3+T datasheet, MAX6801UR29D3+T pinout, MAX6801UR29D3+T application, or MAX6801UR29D3+T equivalent, key selection criteria include factory-trimmed 2.93V reset threshold accuracy (±1.8% at +25°C, ±3% over full temperature range), push/pull output drive capability (VOH ≥ 0.8×VCC at ISOURCE = 500µA), transient immunity up to 30µs at 100mV overdrive, and guaranteed reset assertion validity to VCC = 0.7V.
Technical Context
The MAX6801UR29D3+T implements a precision bandgap-based reset comparator with factory-trimmed 2.93V threshold and hysteresis optimized for stable detection of VCC falling below nominal supply levels. Its internal timing circuit generates a fixed 100ms (min) reset pulse width after VCC rises above the threshold, independent of external components.
This device uses BiCMOS process technology to achieve ultra-low 4µA typical supply current at 3.0V and maintains push/pull RESET output logic state integrity down to VCC = 0.7V - enabling reliable reset signaling even during deep brownout conditions where many µPs cease functional operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.93V ±1.8% at +25°C; ±3% over –40°C to +125°C - ensures accurate power-fail detection for 3.3V systems |
| Reset Timeout Period | 100ms (min), 150ms (typ), 200ms (max) - provides sufficient hold time for µP initialization sequences |
| Supply Current | 4µA (typ) at VCC = 3.0V; 5µA (typ) at VCC = 5.0V - enables battery-powered system longevity |
| Operating Voltage Range | 0.7V to 5.5V - supports valid reset assertion during deep undervoltage conditions |
| RESET Output Type | Active-low push/pull - drives high/low actively without external pullup; compatible with standard µP reset inputs |
| VOH (RESET not asserted) | ≥0.8×VCC at ISOURCE = 500µA - ensures robust high-level signaling across full VCC range |
| VOL (RESET asserted) | ≤0.4V at ISINK = 50µA, VCC ≥ 1.0V - guarantees strong low-level assertion for noise-immune reset detection |
Pinout & Package
MAX6801UR29D3+T is housed in a RoHS-compliant 3-pin SOT23 package (outline 21-0051, land pattern 90-0179), with 1.3mm × 0.8mm footprint and 0.95mm height - suitable for space-constrained PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Ground reference for reset comparator and output stage; must be connected directly to system ground plane |
| 2 | RESET | Active-low push/pull reset output; asserts low when VCC < 2.93V and holds for ≥100ms after VCC recovery |
| 3 | VCC | Primary supply input; powers internal comparator, timer, and output driver; accepts 0.7V–5.5V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-trimmed 2.93V threshold | Eliminates need for external resistor divider or calibration; ±1.8% accuracy at room temperature ensures consistent trip point across production lots |
| 100ms minimum reset timeout | Guarantees µP reset hold time exceeds typical boot ROM execution duration, preventing premature release from reset |
| 0.7V minimum operating voltage | Enables valid RESET assertion during severe brownout - critical for fail-safe shutdown in automotive and industrial control |
| 4µA typical supply current | Reduces quiescent power draw in always-on monitoring circuits, extending battery life in portable instrumentation |
| Transient immunity | Rejects VCC glitches ≤30µs wide at 100mV overdrive - prevents false resets from switching noise or ESD-induced supply dips |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX809TRD3+T | 2.93V threshold, 240ms min timeout, same SOT23-3 package, but higher 12µA ICC (typ) at 3.3V | Longer timeout may delay µP startup; higher current reduces battery life in portable designs | Select MAX809TRD3+T only if extended reset hold time is required and supply current is not constrained |
| TLV803EB29DBZR | 2.93V threshold, 140ms min timeout, 0.5µA ICC (typ), but open-drain output requiring external pullup | Open-drain limits drive strength and adds BOM cost; ultra-low current suits energy-harvesting nodes | Choose TLV803EB29DBZR for ultra-low-power applications where external pullup is acceptable and timing margin allows 140ms |
Compared with MAX809TRD3+T and TLV803EB29DBZR, the MAX6801UR29D3+T delivers optimal balance of low 4µA supply current, precise 2.93V threshold, push/pull output eliminating external components, and 100ms timeout aligned with mainstream µP boot requirements - making it ideal for industrial and automotive reset supervision where reliability and component count matter.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6801UR29D3+T and how tightly is it specified?
The MAX6801UR29D3+T has a factory-trimmed nominal 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 specification is guaranteed by design and production-tested per Maxim's datasheet Electrical Characteristics table, ensuring consistent brownout detection for 3.3V systems without external calibration.
Does MAX6801UR29D3+T support operation at very low supply voltages, and what is the minimum VCC for valid reset assertion?
Yes, the MAX6801UR29D3+T guarantees correct reset assertion and output state integrity down to VCC = 0.7V, as confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics sections. This enables reliable reset signaling during deep brownout conditions where most µPs are nonfunctional - a key requirement for fail-safe industrial and automotive applications.
What is the reset timeout period of MAX6801UR29D3+T, and is it adjustable?
The MAX6801UR29D3+T provides a fixed 100ms minimum reset timeout period (150ms typical, 200ms maximum), determined by internal timing circuitry. It is not user-adjustable - no external capacitor or resistor is needed. This factory-programmed duration ensures µP reset hold time meets industry-standard boot sequence requirements without design overhead.
How does the push/pull output of MAX6801UR29D3+T differ from open-drain alternatives, and what are the practical implications?
The MAX6801UR29D3+T features an active-low push/pull RESET output, meaning it actively drives both high and low states without requiring an external pullup resistor. This simplifies PCB layout, reduces BOM count, improves noise immunity on the reset line, and ensures faster rise/fall times compared to open-drain variants like the MAX6802UR29D3+T - critical for timing-sensitive µP interfaces.
Is MAX6801UR29D3+T pin-compatible with other common reset ICs, and which ones?
Yes, the MAX6801UR29D3+T is pin-compatible with the MAX809/MAX810 series, MAX6326/MAX6327/MAX6328, and MAX6346/MAX6347/MAX6348 families - all in the same 3-pin SOT23 package with identical pin 1 (GND), pin 2 (RESET), and pin 3 (VCC) assignments. This allows drop-in replacement in existing designs where 2.93V threshold and 100ms timeout meet system requirements.
