Product details
Overview
MAX6801UR44D2+T from Maxim Integrated is a precision 3-pin microprocessor supervisory circuit with push/pull active-low RESET output, factory-trimmed 4.38V reset threshold (±3% over temperature), 20ms minimum reset timeout, and guaranteed operation down to VCC = 0.7V. It monitors 2.85V–5.0V power supplies in embedded controllers and portable systems, eliminating external components while ensuring reliable power-on/brownout reset assertion.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6801UR44D2+T datasheet, MAX6801UR44D2+T pinout, MAX6801UR44D2+T application, or MAX6801UR44D2+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4.38V threshold tolerance, 20ms timeout stability across –40°C to +125°C, ultra-low 4µA supply current at 3V, and SOT23-3 compatibility with legacy MAX809/MAX6326 families.
Technical Context
The MAX6801UR44D2+T implements a precision bandgap-based voltage comparator with hysteresis to detect VCC falling below 4.38V, asserting RESET low until VCC rises above threshold and remains stable for ≥20ms. Its BiCMOS process ensures propagation delay <30µs during fast VCC transients (10V/ms) and immunity to sub-100ns glitches.
Reset assertion is maintained down to VCC = 0.7V, with VOL ≤0.4V at ISINK = 50µA and VOH ≥0.8×VCC at ISOURCE = 500µA - enabling direct interfacing with CMOS inputs without pull-up resistors. The device requires no external timing or bias components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.38V ±3% over –40°C to +125°C - ensures accurate brownout detection for 4.5V nominal rails |
| Reset Timeout Period | 20ms minimum - meets JEDEC JESD78 requirement for processor initialization hold time |
| Supply Current | 4µA typical at VCC = 3.0V - enables multi-year battery life in portable equipment |
| Operating Voltage Range | 0.7V to 5.5V - guarantees valid RESET state during deep brownout and full rail operation |
| Output Type | Push/pull active-low RESET - drives CMOS/TTL loads directly without external pull-up |
| Propagation Delay | 30µs max at 10V/ms VCC fall rate - rejects fast supply noise without false resets |
| Temperature Range | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for automotive under-hood and industrial control environments |
Pinout & Package
MAX6801UR44D2+T is housed in a RoHS-compliant 3-pin SOT23 package (outline 21-0051), with 1.3mm × 2.9mm footprint and 0.95mm height - optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Ground reference for internal comparator and output stage - must connect to system ground plane |
| 2 | RESET | Active-low push/pull output - sinks current when asserted (VOL ≤0.4V), high-impedance when deasserted |
| 3 | VCC | Power supply input - powers internal circuitry and defines reset threshold reference |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision factory-trimmed threshold | 4.38V set at wafer level with ±1.8% tolerance at +25°C and ±3% over full temperature range |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 4µA at 3V enables integration into always-on monitoring circuits without battery drain penalty |
| Brownout transient immunity | Rejects VCC glitches <100ns wide at 100mV overdrive - prevents spurious resets in noisy power domains |
| Valid reset down to 0.7V | Guaranteed RESET assertion integrity even as VCC collapses - critical for fail-safe shutdown sequencing |
| No external components required | Integrated timing capacitor and comparator eliminate BOM cost and layout area vs discrete solutions |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Controllers | Medical Diagnostic Handhelds |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Power monitoring during firmware updates and sensor calibration sequences in programmable logic controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervisory circuit asserting hardware reset to prevent corrupted register writes during undervoltage events. Use Value: 20ms timeout ensures CPU completes boot ROM checksum before releasing reset, while 4.38V threshold matches 4.5V LDO output tolerance. |
Use Scenario: Battery-backed operation of portable ultrasound and ECG analyzers with intermittent charging cycles. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Brownout detector maintaining system reset until Li-ion cell voltage recovers above safe operating level. Use Value: 4µA supply current extends standby time between charges; 0.7V operation allows reset assertion even during deep discharge recovery. |
| Automotive Body Control Modules | Smart Energy Meters |
Use Scenario: Cold-cranking scenarios where 12V battery sags below 6V, causing 5V rail collapse in BCM microcontrollers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary reset supervisor ensuring MCU remains held in reset until stabilized 5V supply is restored. Use Value: –40°C to +125°C rating supports engine bay placement; 4.38V threshold avoids nuisance resets during 4.7V nominal rail ripple. |
Use Scenario: Tamper-resistant metering ICs requiring deterministic reset behavior during AC line dropout or surge events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fail-safe reset generator that asserts on both power-up and brownout, with immunity to 100ns transients. Use Value: Push/pull output drives meter SoC reset pin directly; 20ms timeout satisfies IEC 62056-21 power-fail hold requirements. |
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 | 4.63V reset threshold, 20ms timeout, same SOT23-3 package and push/pull output | Higher threshold better suited for 5V systems with tighter regulation; less margin for 4.5V rails | Select when system VCC nominal is ≥4.75V and brownout margin must exceed 120mV |
| MAX6326UT44D2+T | 4.38V threshold, 20ms timeout, but open-drain output requiring external pull-up | Limited drive strength and higher board-level component count; compatible only with bidirectional reset pins | Choose only if interfacing with legacy MCUs like 68HC11 requiring open-drain reset arbitration |
Compared with MAX809TRD2+T and MAX6326UT44D2+T, the MAX6801UR44D2+T provides optimal balance of threshold accuracy, low-power operation, and direct-drive capability - making it preferred for new designs targeting 4.5V rails with minimal BOM overhead.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6801UR44D2+T and how tightly is it specified?
The MAX6801UR44D2+T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 4.38V, 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 verified per Table 1 in the datasheet, ensuring consistent brownout detection across environmental conditions without external calibration.
Does MAX6801UR44D2+T require any external components to function?
No, the MAX6801UR44D2+T operates autonomously with only VCC, GND, and RESET connections - no external capacitors, resistors, or timing components are needed. Its internal comparator, reference, and timeout circuitry are fully integrated, reducing BOM count and PCB area versus discrete reset solutions.
Can MAX6801UR44D2+T maintain valid reset output when VCC drops below 1.0V?
Yes, the MAX6801UR44D2+T guarantees correct RESET assertion down to VCC = 0.7V, with VOL ≤0.4V at ISINK = 50µA. This ensures fail-safe behavior during deep brownout events where other supervisors may release reset prematurely, preserving system integrity in critical shutdown sequences.
What is the meaning of the "D2" suffix in MAX6801UR44D2+T?
The "D2" in MAX6801UR44D2+T denotes a factory-programmed 20ms minimum reset timeout period. Per Maxim's ordering convention, D1 = 1ms, D2 = 20ms, D3 = 100ms - all guaranteed over temperature and voltage, with typical values of 30ms and max of 40ms at +25°C.
Is MAX6801UR44D2+T pin-compatible with older Maxim reset ICs?
Yes, MAX6801UR44D2+T uses the standard 3-pin SOT23 package and shares identical pinout (GND, RESET, VCC) with MAX809/MAX810 and MAX6326/MAX6327 families. This enables drop-in replacement in existing layouts without PCB revision, provided the reset threshold and timeout requirements align.
