Product details
Overview
MAX6801UR46D3+ from Maxim Integrated is a push/pull active-low microprocessor supervisory circuit in 3-pin SOT23 package, monitoring VCC supply at 4.63V reset threshold with 100ms minimum timeout, ultra-low 4µA supply current, and guaranteed RESET validity down to 0.7V - used for reliable power-on/brownout reset in portable and automotive control systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6801UR46D3+ datasheet, MAX6801UR46D3+ pinout, MAX6801UR46D3+ application, or MAX6801UR46D3+ equivalent, key selection criteria include factory-trimmed 4.63V threshold accuracy (±3% over -40°C to +125°C), 100ms reset pulse width, push/pull output drive capability, and SOT23-3 footprint compatibility with legacy supervisors.
Technical Context
The MAX6801UR46D3+ integrates a precision voltage comparator with hysteresis and an internal timer to generate a clean, glitch-immune active-low RESET signal when VCC falls below 4.63V, holding it asserted for ≥100ms after VCC recovers above threshold. Its BiCMOS process ensures stable operation across -40°C to +125°C.
Reset assertion is immune to fast transients ≤30µs (at 100mV overdrive), and the push/pull output delivers VOL ≤0.4V at 1.2mA sink load while maintaining VOH ≥0.8×VCC when not asserted - enabling direct interface with CMOS µP reset inputs without external pullups.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.63V (factory-trimmed, ±3% over -40°C to +125°C) - ensures precise brownout detection for 4.5–5.0V systems |
| Reset Timeout | 100ms minimum - guarantees sufficient hold time for µP initialization and peripheral stabilization |
| Supply Current | 4µA typical at +25°C - enables multi-year battery life in portable equipment |
| Operating Voltage Range | 0.7V to 5.5V - supports valid reset assertion even during deep brownout or partial power loss |
| Output Type | Active-low push/pull - eliminates need for external pullup resistor and provides strong low-state drive |
| VCC Transient Immunity | Rejects transients ≤30µs at 100mV overdrive - prevents false resets from noise or switching spikes |
| Package | SOT23-3 - 2.92mm × 1.3mm footprint compatible with space-constrained PCB layouts |
Pinout & Package
MAX6801UR46D3+ 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. The compact 2.92mm × 1.3mm body height of 1.02mm enables high-density placement.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Ground reference 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 fault; high-impedance state not supported; no external pullup required |
| 3 | VCC | Supply input - powers internal circuitry and defines monitored voltage rail; operates down to 0.7V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision 4.63V reset threshold | Factory-trimmed to ±3% over full temperature range - eliminates manual calibration and external resistive dividers |
| 100ms minimum reset timeout | Guaranteed timing independent of external components - ensures µP core and peripherals fully initialize before release |
| 0.7V operating supply limit | Valid RESET/RESET assertion down to 0.7V VCC - supports robust reset behavior during severe brownout conditions |
| 4µA typical supply current | Enables integration into always-on battery-backed subsystems without measurable drain impact |
| Push/pull active-low output | Provides strong low-state drive (≤0.4V @ 1.2mA) and high-state level (≥0.8×VCC) - interfaces directly with standard CMOS reset inputs |
Applications
| Battery-Powered Data Loggers | Automotive Body Control Modules |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX809TRD3+T | 4.63V threshold, 240ms min timeout, same SOT23-3 package, push/pull active-low output | Longer timeout may delay µP startup in time-sensitive systems; identical pinout and footprint | Select when longer reset hold time is acceptable and higher supply current (15µA) is tolerable |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V fixed threshold, 200ms min timeout, 1.5µA supply current, open-drain output requiring pullup | Not suitable for 4.63V monitoring; requires external resistor and cannot replace without schematic change | Choose only if system uses 3.3V rail supervision and ultra-low current is prioritized over pin compatibility |
Compared with MAX809TRD3+T and TPS3808G33DBVR, the MAX6801UR46D3+ offers optimal balance of precise 4.63V threshold, 100ms timing, lowest quiescent current among 4.6V-class push/pull supervisors, and drop-in replacement capability for existing MAX6801 designs - making it ideal for cost- and space-constrained industrial and automotive applications.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for MAX6801UR46D3+?
The MAX6801UR46D3+ has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 4.63V, with tolerance of ±3% over the full operating temperature range (-40°C to +125°C). This value is confirmed in Table 1 of the official datasheet and applies specifically to the "46" suffix variant. The MAX6801UR46D3+ maintains this accuracy without external calibration or trimming components.
Does MAX6801UR46D3+ require an external pullup resistor on the RESET pin?
No, the MAX6801UR46D3+ features a push/pull active-low output that actively drives both high and low states, eliminating the need for an external pullup resistor. Its VOH reaches ≥0.8×VCC when deasserted and VOL remains ≤0.4V at 1.2mA sink load when asserted - enabling direct connection to standard CMOS reset inputs without additional components.
What is the minimum reset timeout period specified for MAX6801UR46D3+?
The MAX6801UR46D3+ provides a minimum reset timeout period of 100ms, as indicated by the "D3" suffix in its part number. This is guaranteed over temperature and supply voltage variations, and is implemented entirely internally - no external capacitor or resistor is needed to set or adjust the timing.
Is MAX6801UR46D3+ qualified for automotive applications?
The MAX6801UR46D3+ is not explicitly automotive-qualified; its ordering information shows no "/V" suffix, which denotes AEC-Q100 qualification. It operates across -40°C to +125°C and meets industrial reliability standards, but for automotive-critical systems requiring formal qualification, the /V-grade variants (e.g., MAX6801UR46D3/V-T) should be selected instead of MAX6801UR46D3+.
Can MAX6801UR46D3+ operate reliably below 1.0V supply voltage?
Yes, the MAX6801UR46D3+ is guaranteed to maintain correct RESET/RESET logic state down to VCC = 0.7V, as stated in the General Description and Electrical Characteristics tables. This allows valid reset assertion during deep brownout conditions where other supervisors may fail - a key differentiator versus the MAX6802 (guaranteed only to 1.0V) and many competing devices.
