Product details
Overview
MAX6801UR31D2+T from Maxim Integrated is a precision 3.08V active-low microprocessor supervisory circuit in SOT23-3 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 VCC = 0.7V, features 20ms minimum reset timeout, consumes only 4–12µA supply current, and operates across –40°C to +125°C for industrial embedded control applications.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6801UR31D2+T datasheet, MAX6801UR31D2+T pinout, MAX6801UR31D2+T application, or MAX6801UR31D2+T equivalent, key selection criteria include factory-trimmed 3.08V reset threshold tolerance (±1.8% at +25°C, ±3% over full temperature), push/pull output drive capability (VOH ≥ 0.8×VCC, VOL ≤ 0.4V at 50µA), transient immunity up to 30µs at 100mV overdrive, and guaranteed reset assertion validity below 1V supply.
Technical Context
The MAX6801UR31D2+T implements a precision bandgap-based voltage comparator with factory-trimmed 3.08V threshold and hysteresis optimized for stable reset assertion during VCC transients. Its internal timing circuit generates a fixed 20ms (min) reset pulse width after VCC rises above threshold, independent of external components.
It uses BiCMOS process technology to achieve ultra-low 4µA typical supply current at 3V and maintain push/pull output logic states (RESET low during fault, high otherwise) with rail-to-rail VOH and sub-0.4V VOL across its full operating voltage range (0.7V to 5.5V).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 3.08V ±1.8% at +25°C; ensures reliable detection of VCC drop below nominal 3.3V supply level |
| Reset Timeout Period | 20ms (min); guarantees sufficient hold time for µP initialization before release |
| Supply Voltage Range | 0.7V to 5.5V; supports operation during deep brownout and compatibility with 1.8V–5V systems |
| Supply Current | 4µA (typ) at 3V; enables battery-powered equipment with multi-year runtime |
| Output Type | Active-low push/pull RESET; drives high/low without external pull-up, simplifying interface to µP reset pins |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C; qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial control environments |
| VCC Propagation Delay | 30µs max at 10V/ms VCC fall rate; rejects fast supply glitches without false resets |
Pinout & Package
MAX6801UR31D2+T is housed in a RoHS-compliant 3-pin SOT23-3 package (outline 21-0051, land pattern 90-0179), 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 comparator and output stage; must be connected directly to system ground plane |
| 2 (RESET) | Active-low push/pull reset output | Drives low during VCC fault and remains low for 20ms after recovery; sinks 50µA with VOL ≤ 0.4V, sources 500µA with VOH ≥ 0.8×VCC |
| 3 (VCC) | Supply voltage input | Monitored power rail input; device asserts reset when VCC falls below 3.08V and remains functional down to 0.7V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-trimmed reset threshold | 3.08V with ±1.8% accuracy at +25°C ensures precise 3.3V supply monitoring without calibration |
| No external components required | Integrated comparator, timer, and push/pull driver eliminate discrete resistors, capacitors, and transistors |
| Ultra-low supply current | 4µA typical at 3V enables use in always-on battery-backed systems without significant drain |
| Power-supply transient immunity | Rejects negative-going VCC glitches up to 30µs duration at 100mV overdrive, preventing spurious resets |
| Guaranteed reset validity to 0.7V | Ensures deterministic RESET state even during severe brownout conditions common in automotive start-stop |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset supervision applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX809TRD2+T | 3.08V threshold, 20ms timeout, same SOT23-3 package, but higher 15µA ICC and ±2.5% threshold tolerance | Limited to commercial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), not rated for extended industrial or automotive use | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs extended temp qualification and ultra-low current requirements |
| TPS3808G30DBVR | 3.0V threshold (not 3.08V), 20ms timeout, 1.8µA ICC, but requires external pull-up for open-drain output | Open-drain output necessitates external resistor; lacks guaranteed 0.7V operation and push/pull drive simplicity | Choose where lowest possible current dominates and board space allows for pull-up component |
Compared with MAX809TRD2+T and TPS3808G30DBVR, MAX6801UR31D2+T delivers tighter threshold accuracy, lower supply current, guaranteed operation down to 0.7V, and true push/pull output - making it optimal for high-reliability industrial and automotive reset supervision where minimal BOM and deterministic behavior are critical.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6801UR31D2+T and how tightly is it specified?
The MAX6801UR31D2+T has a factory-trimmed nominal reset threshold of 3.08V, with ±1.8% tolerance at +25°C and ±3% over the full –40°C to +125°C operating range. This precision ensures reliable detection of 3.3V supply brownout without false triggering or missed events, and is confirmed in Table 1 and Electrical Characteristics of the official datasheet.
Does MAX6801UR31D2+T require any external components to function as a reset supervisor?
No, MAX6801UR31D2+T operates as a complete reset solution with no external components required. Its integrated voltage comparator, timing circuit, and push/pull output driver eliminate the need for external resistors, capacitors, or transistors - enabling direct connection between VCC, GND, and the microprocessor's reset pin.
What is the minimum supply voltage at which MAX6801UR31D2+T guarantees correct reset output behavior?
MAX6801UR31D2+T guarantees correct RESET/RESET output state down to VCC = 0.7V, as explicitly stated in the General Description and Absolute Maximum Ratings sections. This ensures deterministic reset assertion during deep brownout conditions common in automotive and battery-powered systems.
How does the 20ms reset timeout period of MAX6801UR31D2+T benefit system reliability?
The 20ms (minimum) reset timeout period of MAX6801UR31D2+T ensures the microprocessor remains held in reset long enough for power rails to stabilize, clock circuits to lock, and internal registers to clear - preventing erratic startup behavior or corrupted firmware execution in complex embedded systems.
Is MAX6801UR31D2+T pin-compatible with other supervisory ICs, and if so, which ones?
Yes, MAX6801UR31D2+T is pin-compatible with MAX809/MAX810, MAX6326/MAX6327/MAX6328, and MAX6346/MAX6347/MAX6348 per the Benefits and Features section. All share identical SOT23-3 pinout (GND, RESET, VCC), enabling drop-in replacement in existing layouts where voltage threshold and timeout match design requirements.
