Product details
Overview
MAX6801UR44D3+ from Maxim Integrated is a 3-pin SOT23 push/pull active-low microprocessor supervisory circuit designed to monitor 4.38V power supplies in embedded systems. It asserts RESET when VCC drops below 4.38V (±3% over temperature), maintains reset for ≥100ms after recovery, draws only 5µA typical supply current, and operates down to 0.7V VCC - enabling reliable brownout detection in battery-powered controllers and automotive ECUs.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6801UR44D3+ datasheet, MAX6801UR44D3+ pinout, MAX6801UR44D3+ application, or MAX6801UR44D3+ equivalent, this device serves as a precision, low-power reset supervisor for 4.38V rails where guaranteed reset validity down to 0.7V, transient immunity, and minimal board space are critical selection criteria.
Technical Context
The MAX6801UR44D3+ integrates a factory-trimmed voltage comparator with hysteresis and an internal timeout timer. Its reset threshold is fixed at 4.38V (min 4.249V, max 4.511V over –40°C to +125°C) and features propagation delay <30µs on VCC fall at 10V/ms.
It uses BiCMOS process technology to achieve ultra-low 4–12µA supply current across temperature, while maintaining push/pull output drive capability: VOL ≤0.4V at ISINK = 1.2mA (VCC ≥ 4.25V) and VOH ≥0.8×VCC at ISOURCE = 800µA (VCC ≥ 5.0V).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.38V ±3% over –40°C to +125°C - ensures accurate 4.38V rail monitoring without external calibration |
| Reset Timeout Period | ≥100ms minimum - guarantees sufficient processor reset hold time after power recovery |
| Supply Current | 5µA typical at +25°C, VCC = +5.0V - enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered devices |
| Operating VCC Range | 0.7V to 5.5V - supports valid reset assertion during deep brownout and full rail operation |
| Output Type | Active-low push/pull - drives RESET directly without pullup resistor, compatible with standard µP reset inputs |
| VCC Transient Immunity | Rejects <30µs negative glitches at 100mV overdrive - prevents false resets from EMI or switching noise |
| Package | SOT23-3 - 2.92mm × 1.3mm footprint ideal for space-constrained PCB layouts |
Pinout & Package
MAX6801UR44D3+ is housed in a RoHS-compliant 3-pin SOT23 package (outline U3-1, land pattern 90-0179), with gull-wing leads and 0.95mm pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Ground reference for reset comparator and output stage - must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| 2 | RESET | Active-low push/pull output - sinks current when asserted (VOL ≤0.4V), sources current when deasserted (VOH ≥0.8×VCC) |
| 3 | VCC | Power supply input - monitors this rail for undervoltage; device remains functional down to 0.7V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-trimmed 4.38V threshold | Eliminates need for external resistive divider or trimming components - reduces BOM count and layout area |
| Guaranteed reset validity to 0.7V VCC | Ensures deterministic reset behavior during deep brownout, unlike many supervisors that fail below 1.0V |
| 100ms minimum reset timeout | Meets JEDEC JESD78 reliability requirements for microcontroller reset hold time after power recovery |
| 4.0µA typical supply current | Enables integration into always-on subsystems (e.g., CAN wake-up logic) without impacting battery life |
| Transient-immune comparator | Rejects fast VCC dips up to 100mV amplitude for <30µs - avoids spurious resets in noisy automotive environments |
Applications
| Automotive Body Control Module | Industrial PLC I/O Subsystem |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset supervision applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX809TRD3+T | 4.63V reset threshold, 240ms timeout, same SOT23-3 package and push/pull output | Higher threshold suits 4.63V rails; longer timeout may exceed some MCU minimum requirements | Select when system requires 4.63V trip point and extended reset hold time beyond 100ms |
| TLV809K33DBZR | 3.3V reset threshold, 140ms timeout, open-drain output, 1.8V–6V VCC range | Lower threshold targets 3.3V logic rails; open-drain requires external pullup and offers bidirectional reset sharing | Choose for 3.3V systems needing flexible reset bus architecture, not direct replacement for 4.38V monitoring |
Compared with MAX6801UR44D3+, MAX809TRD3+T provides higher threshold and longer timeout for robust 4.63V rail supervision, while TLV809K33DBZR serves distinct 3.3V applications with open-drain flexibility - neither is pin-compatible, but both address adjacent voltage-monitoring needs in industrial and portable designs.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6801UR44D3+ and how tightly is it specified?
The MAX6801UR44D3+ has a factory-trimmed nominal reset threshold of 4.38V, with guaranteed limits of 4.249V (min) and 4.511V (max) across the full –40°C to +125°C temperature range. This ±3% tolerance ensures consistent 4.38V rail monitoring without external calibration or adjustment, meeting stringent automotive and industrial voltage supervision requirements.
Does MAX6801UR44D3+ require any external components to function as a reset supervisor?
No, the MAX6801UR44D3+ requires zero external components - its 4.38V threshold is factory-trimmed, the 100ms reset timeout is internally generated, and the push/pull RESET output drives standard microcontroller reset inputs directly. This eliminates resistors, capacitors, or trimming potentiometers, reducing BOM cost and PCB area versus discrete supervision solutions.
Can MAX6801UR44D3+ operate reliably during severe brownout conditions?
Yes, the MAX6801UR44D3+ is guaranteed to maintain correct reset state down to VCC = 0.7V, and its push/pull output remains functional (VOL ≤0.4V at 1.2mA sink) even as supply voltage collapses. This ensures deterministic reset assertion during deep brownouts where competing supervisors may release reset prematurely, preventing MCU firmware corruption.
What is the supply current consumption of MAX6801UR44D3+ across temperature and voltage?
The MAX6801UR44D3+ draws only 4–12µA supply current (ICC) depending on VCC and temperature: 5µA typical at +25°C and VCC = +5.0V, rising to 10µA maximum at +125°C. This ultra-low quiescent current enables integration into always-on subsystems such as automotive wake-up circuits without compromising battery life or thermal design.
Is MAX6801UR44D3+ pin-compatible with other common reset supervisors?
The MAX6801UR44D3+ uses the standard 3-pin SOT23 package and shares pinout (GND, RESET, VCC) with MAX809/MAX810 and MAX6326/MAX6327 series, but differs in reset threshold and timeout. While not drop-in compatible due to its specific 4.38V/100ms configuration, the identical footprint allows layout reuse when migrating between Maxim's supervisory families with minor schematic updates.
