Product details
Overview
MAX6801UR46D2+T from Maxim Integrated is a precision microprocessor supervisory circuit in SOT23-3 package, providing active-low push/pull reset assertion when VCC drops below 4.63V (±1.8% at +25°C), with guaranteed operation down to 0.7V and a 20ms minimum reset timeout period. It monitors power supplies in embedded controllers and portable equipment requiring reliable brownout detection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6801UR46D2+T datasheet, MAX6801UR46D2+T pinout, MAX6801UR46D2+T application, or MAX6801UR46D2+T equivalent, key selection criteria include reset threshold accuracy over temperature, ultra-low 4–12µA supply current, VCC operating range down to 0.7V, and compatibility with bidirectional µP reset pins via push/pull drive capability.
Technical Context
The MAX6801UR46D2+T uses a factory-trimmed bandgap-based voltage comparator to detect VCC falling below its 4.63V threshold, with ±3% tolerance across –40°C to +125°C. Its internal timer ensures a minimum 20ms reset pulse width after VCC recovers above threshold.
It features push/pull output structure enabling direct drive of CMOS inputs without external pull-up resistors, and includes transient immunity circuitry that rejects fast VCC glitches - e.g., ≤30µs negative transients at 100mV overdrive do not trigger false resets.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.63V ±1.8% at +25°C; ±3% over –40°C to +125°C - ensures precise brownout detection for 5V systems |
| Reset Timeout Period | 20ms (min), 30ms (typ), 40ms (max) - guarantees sufficient processor initialization time after power recovery |
| Supply Voltage Range | 0.7V to 5.5V - enables valid reset assertion during deep brownout and full-system power sequencing |
| Supply Current | 4µA (typ at 3.0V), 5µA (typ at 5.0V) - minimizes battery drain in portable applications |
| RESET Output Low Voltage | 0.4V max at ISINK = 50µA, VCC ≥ 1.0V - ensures solid logic-low level for µP reset input even at low VCC |
| VCC Falling Propagation Delay | 30µs - provides rapid response to supply collapse without excessive delay |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - supports industrial and automotive under-hood environments |
Pinout & Package
MAX6801UR46D2+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 - optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Ground reference for internal comparator and output stage; must be connected to system ground plane for accurate threshold sensing |
| 2 | RESET | Active-low push/pull reset output; drives low during VCC undervoltage and remains low for 20ms after VCC recovery |
| 3 | VCC | Power supply input; powers internal circuitry and defines reset threshold reference; operates down to 0.7V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision Reset Threshold | Factory-trimmed 4.63V with ±1.8% initial accuracy and ±3% tempco - eliminates need for external resistor dividers or calibration |
| Ultra-Low Supply Current | 4–12µA across VCC and temperature - extends battery life in always-on monitoring circuits |
| Guaranteed Operation to 0.7V | RESET remains valid while VCC decays to 0.7V - ensures deterministic reset behavior during complete power collapse |
| Transient Immunity | Rejects VCC glitches ≤30µs at 100mV overdrive - prevents spurious resets in noisy power environments |
| Push/Pull Output Structure | No external pull-up required - simplifies interface to standard CMOS µP reset inputs and reduces BOM count |
Applications
| Industrial Controllers | Portable Medical Devices |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: PLC I/O modules powered by unregulated 5V rails subject to load-induced sags and EMI-coupled transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervisory circuit asserting active-low RESET to halt CPU execution until stable 5V is restored. Use Value: Prevents firmware corruption during brownout by holding µP in reset for ≥20ms after VCC exceeds 4.63V, with immunity to <30µs supply noise. | Use Scenario: Handheld glucose meters using coin-cell batteries where supply voltage drifts from 3.6V (fresh) to 2.2V (end-of-life). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Power-on and brownout detector generating clean reset pulse independent of battery decay profile. Use Value: Maintains valid RESET output down to 0.7V VCC, enabling safe shutdown before data loss occurs at sub-2V operation. |
| Automotive Body Control Modules | Smart Energy Meters |
Use Scenario: BCM microcontroller supplied from vehicle battery (9–16V) via LDO; subjected to load-dump and cold-crank transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary reset supervisor ensuring µC remains held in reset during cold-crank events where VCC dips below 4.63V. Use Value: 20ms minimum timeout prevents premature release during slow VCC recovery typical of alternator re-engagement. | Use Scenario: Revenue-grade meter with isolated µP and real-time clock, requiring fail-safe reset during AC mains interruption and capacitor hold-up decay. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary supervisor monitoring backup supply rail derived from supercapacitor discharge. Use Value: 4.63V threshold aligns with supercap voltage decay curve, triggering reset before RTC or memory corruption occurs. |
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 | Same SOT23-3 package, 4.63V threshold, but 140ms min timeout and higher 12µA ICC | Designed for slower power-up sequences; less suitable for fast-recovery systems | Select when longer reset hold time is required and supply current is not critical |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V fixed threshold, adjustable timeout (200ms/400ms), 1.1µA ICC, SOT23-5 | Requires external timing capacitor; lower quiescent current but different pinout and threshold | Select for ultra-low-power designs where 3.3V threshold matches system rail and layout allows 5-pin placement |
Compared with MAX809TRD2+T and TPS3808G33DBVR, the MAX6801UR46D2+T offers the optimal balance of precise 4.63V threshold, 20ms deterministic timeout, sub-12µA supply current, and true push/pull drive - making it ideal for 5V microcontroller systems needing fast, reliable, and low-footprint reset supervision.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6801UR46D2+T and how does it vary with temperature?
The MAX6801UR46D2+T has a nominal reset threshold of 4.63V at +25°C, with ±1.8% initial tolerance. Over the full operating temperature range of –40°C to +125°C, the threshold varies by ±3%, meaning it stays within 4.491V to 4.769V. This tight specification ensures consistent brownout detection across environmental conditions without external trimming.
Does MAX6801UR46D2+T require an external pull-up resistor on the RESET pin?
No, MAX6801UR46D2+T does not require an external pull-up resistor because it features a push/pull output structure. The RESET pin actively drives low during reset assertion and actively drives high (to ~0.8×VCC) when deasserted, eliminating reliance on external components for logic-level definition - a key advantage over open-drain alternatives like the MAX6802 series.
What is the minimum VCC voltage at which MAX6801UR46D2+T guarantees valid RESET output behavior?
The MAX6801UR46D2+T guarantees correct RESET output state down to VCC = 0.7V across the full temperature range. At this voltage, the device continues to assert RESET low when VCC falls below 4.63V and maintains proper timing and logic levels - critical for fail-safe operation during deep brownout or battery depletion scenarios.
How does the 20ms reset timeout of MAX6801UR46D2+T compare to other versions in the MAX6801 family?
The "D2" suffix in MAX6801UR46D2+T specifies a 20ms minimum reset timeout period (30ms typ, 40ms max). Other variants include D1 (1ms min) for fast-boot systems and D3 (100ms min) for slower power-up sequences. All share identical threshold (4.63V) and package, allowing design reuse with only timeout adjustment via part number selection.
Is MAX6801UR46D2+T pin-compatible with industry-standard reset supervisors like the MAX809 series?
Yes, MAX6801UR46D2+T is pin-compatible with MAX809/MAX810 and several other supervisory families including MAX6326–MAX6328 and MAX6346–MAX6348. All use the same SOT23-3 pinout (GND, RESET, VCC), enabling drop-in replacement in existing layouts - provided the reset threshold and timeout requirements align with the target application.
