Product details
Overview
MAX6803US26D3 from Maxim Integrated is a push/pull, active-high microprocessor supervisory circuit in SOT143 package, monitoring VCC from 2.85V to 5.0V with factory-trimmed 2.63V reset threshold and 100ms minimum reset timeout. It asserts RESET high during power-up, brownout, or manual reset, and guarantees valid output down to VCC = 0.7V. Used in portable equipment and critical µP power monitoring where deterministic reset behavior is required.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6803US26D3 datasheet, MAX6803US26D3 pinout, MAX6803US26D3 application, or MAX6803US26D3 equivalent, key selection considerations include its active-high push/pull output, 2.63V threshold tolerance (±3% over temperature), ultra-low 4µA supply current at 3V, and guaranteed operation down to 0.7V VCC - essential for battery-powered systems with deep brownout recovery requirements.
Technical Context
The MAX6803US26D3 implements a precision bandgap-based voltage comparator with internal hysteresis and a monostable timeout circuit triggered on VCC fall or MR assertion. Its reset logic ensures RESET remains asserted for ≥100ms after VCC rises above 2.63V or MR deasserts, with propagation delay <30µs for 10V/ms VCC transients.
It features a debounced manual-reset input with 20kΩ internal pullup, glitch immunity of 50ns, and MR pulse width requirement of only 1µs. The push/pull output delivers VOH ≥0.8×VCC (ISOURCE = 800µA, VCC ≥4.25V) and VOL ≤0.4V (ISINK = 3.2mA, VCC ≥5.0V), enabling direct interface with CMOS inputs without external pullups.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
Use Scenario: Battery-powered glucose monitor operating from single Li-ion cell (2.8–4.2V) with intermittent wake-up cycles. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monitors VCC during sleep/wake transitions and asserts active-high RESET to prevent corrupted memory writes during brownout. Use Value: 2.63V threshold aligns with Li-ion discharge knee; 100ms timeout ensures ADC and RF subsystems stabilize before firmware execution resumes. |
Use Scenario: DIN-rail mounted I/O module powered by 24VDC supply with local 3.3V LDO for µP and digital isolators. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervises 3.3V rail and provides clean power-on reset signal to ARM Cortex-M4 µP and isolated SPI bus controller. Use Value: Push/pull output drives µP RESET pin directly; 0.7V min VCC operation ensures reset validity even during LDO dropout or input ripple. |
| Smart Energy Meters | Ruggedized Handheld Testers |
Use Scenario: ANSI C12.22-compliant electricity meter with backup supercapacitor maintaining RTC and nonvolatile memory during AC loss. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Detects main 3.3V supply collapse and asserts RESET to halt metering firmware while preserving secure data context. Use Value: 4µA ICC minimizes supercapacitor drain; ±3% threshold stability over -40°C to +125°C ensures consistent trip point across environmental extremes. |
Use Scenario: Field-deployed multimeter with dual power sources (AA batteries and USB charging), requiring robust reset under load-switching transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides glitch-immune reset generation during battery swap or USB connect/disconnect events. Use Value: 50ns MR glitch immunity and 30µs VCC propagation delay prevent spurious resets caused by contact bounce or supply coupling. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar µP supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX811RUS26D3-T | Same 2.63V threshold and 100ms timeout, but active-low open-drain output | Requires external pullup; not compatible with µPs expecting active-high reset assertion | Select only if system design already uses active-low reset architecture and board layout accommodates pullup resistor |
| TPS3808G125DBVR | 2.5V threshold (±0.5%), 200ms timeout, 1.5µA ICC, but requires external capacitor for timeout setting | Lacks factory-programmed timeout; adds BOM item and layout area; higher accuracy but less integration | Prefer when tighter threshold tolerance (±0.5%) is mandatory and design can absorb added passive component and footprint |
Compared with MAX811RUS26D3-T and TPS3808G125DBVR, the MAX6803US26D3 offers integrated active-high push/pull drive, eliminating external components and simplifying µP interface - critical for compact, cost-sensitive designs where reset polarity and layout efficiency are fixed constraints.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage and tolerance for MAX6803US26D3?
The MAX6803US26D3 has a factory-trimmed nominal reset threshold of 2.63V, with ±1.8% tolerance at +25°C and ±3% over the full -40°C to +125°C operating temperature range. This specification is guaranteed per the datasheet's Electrical Characteristics table and applies directly to the MAX6803US26D3 part number, not derived from family-level data.
Does MAX6803US26D3 require an external pullup resistor on its RESET pin?
No, MAX6803US26D3 does not require an external pullup resistor because it features a push/pull output stage. Its RESET pin actively drives high during reset assertion and actively pulls low when deasserted, providing defined logic levels without external components - a key differentiator from open-drain alternatives like the MAX6805 series.
What is the minimum VCC voltage at which MAX6803US26D3 guarantees valid RESET output?
MAX6803US26D3 guarantees correct RESET output state down to VCC = 0.7V over the full -40°C to +125°C temperature range. This is explicitly specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables, and distinguishes it from the MAX6805 (1.0V min) and supports deep brownout recovery in battery-powered systems.
How is the 100ms reset timeout period implemented in MAX6803US26D3?
The 100ms minimum reset timeout in MAX6803US26D3 is factory-programmed and internally generated - no external capacitor or resistor is needed. The datasheet specifies tRP = 100ms (min), 150ms (typ), 200ms (max) for the "D3" suffix variant, and this timing is monotonic over temperature with <±15% variation across -40°C to +125°C.
Can MAX6803US26D3 be used with microcontrollers that have bidirectional reset pins?
MAX6803US26D3 is not recommended for direct use with bidirectional reset pins (e.g., Motorola 68HC11), because its push/pull output actively drives both high and low states. Bidirectional interfaces require open-drain outputs like those in MAX6805US26D3-T to avoid contention; using MAX6803US26D3 in such configurations may cause excessive current or logic conflict.
