Product details
Overview
The MAX6803US26D3+T 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 brownout or manual reset, guarantees valid output down to VCC = 0.7V, and draws only 4µA supply current at 3.0V - ideal for battery-powered instrumentation and embedded controllers.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6803US26D3+T datasheet, MAX6803US26D3+T pinout, MAX6803US26D3+T application, or MAX6803US26D3+T equivalent, key selection considerations include its active-high push/pull RESET output, 2.63V precise threshold tolerance (±1.8% at +25°C), 100ms reset timeout, ultra-low operating voltage capability (0.7V min), and guaranteed reset assertion validity over full -40°C to +125°C industrial temperature range.
Technical Context
This device implements a precision bandgap-based reset comparator with factory-trimmed 2.63V threshold and ±3% variation over -40°C to +125°C. Its internal 20kΩ MR pullup eliminates external components, and reset propagation delay is under 30µs for VCC falling at 10V/ms.
The push/pull output stage sources up to 800µA at VCC ≥ 4.25V while maintaining VOH ≥ 0.8 × VCC, and sinks up to 3.2mA with VOL ≤ 0.4V - enabling direct interface to CMOS inputs without external pullups. Reset remains asserted for ≥100ms after VCC recovery or MR release.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.63V ±1.8% at +25°C; ensures reliable brownout detection for 2.85V–5.0V systems |

| Supply Voltage Range | 0.7V to 5.5V; enables operation during deep brownout and supports wide-input systems |
| Supply Current | 4µA at VCC = 3.0V; minimizes battery drain in portable equipment |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C; qualified for industrial and automotive under-hood environments |
| Output Type | Active-high push/pull RESET; eliminates need for external pullup resistor |
| VCC Transient Immunity | Rejects <30µs negative transients at 10V/ms; prevents false resets from noise |
Pinout & Package
MAX6803US26D3+T is housed in a 4-pin SOT143 package (U4-1 outline, 21-0052), measuring 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm, with gull-wing leads optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - GND | Ground reference | Return path for all internal circuitry; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| 2 - RESET | Active-high push/pull reset output | Drives high during fault conditions; directly interfaces to µP reset input without external components |
| 3 - MR | Manual-reset input | Logic-low assertion triggers reset; internal 20kΩ pullup allows floating if unused |
| 4 - VCC | Power supply input | Monitored rail; powers internal circuitry and determines reset assertion timing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-trimmed 2.63V threshold | Eliminates external resistor divider; achieves ±1.8% accuracy at +25°C without calibration |
| 100ms minimum reset timeout | Ensures µP completes power-up initialization before release, even with slow-rising rails |
| 0.7V minimum operating voltage | Maintains valid RESET assertion during severe brownout, supporting fail-safe shutdown |
| Debounced MR input | Internal filtering rejects <1µs glitches; enables direct switch connection without RC network |
| Push/pull active-high output | Drives high to µP reset pin; avoids contention with other open-drain reset sources |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6315US26D3+T | Same 2.63V threshold and 100ms timeout, but uses different BiCMOS process; ICC = 5µA at 5V vs. 4µA for MAX6803US26D3+T | Identical pinout and function; slightly higher supply current limits use in ultra-low-power designs | Select when legacy qualification or alternate sourcing is required; identical thermal and timing behavior |
| TPS3808G26DBVR | 2.63V threshold with 200ms timeout (not 100ms); active-low open-drain output; requires external pullup | Not pin-compatible; needs layout change for RESET polarity and pullup; wider supply range (0.8V–6.0V) | Choose for systems needing longer reset hold time or compatibility with TI-designated BOMs |
Compared with MAX6803US26D3+T, MAX6315US26D3+T offers identical functionality with marginally higher quiescent current, while TPS3808G26DBVR provides extended timeout and broader VCC range but requires redesign for active-low signaling and external biasing.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6803US26D3+T and how tightly is it specified?
The MAX6803US26D3+T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 2.63V, with ±1.8% tolerance at +25°C and ±3% over the full -40°C to +125°C temperature range. This precision eliminates need for external calibration and ensures consistent brownout detection across operating conditions. The MAX6803US26D3+T maintains this specification without external components.
Does MAX6803US26D3+T support operation at very low supply voltages, and what is the minimum functional VCC?
Yes, MAX6803US26D3+T is guaranteed to assert valid RESET down to VCC = 0.7V, and operates over 0.7V to 5.5V. At VCC = 0.78V (minimum at -40°C to +125°C), the device still correctly monitors and asserts RESET high. This makes MAX6803US26D3+T suitable for deep-brownout detection in battery-powered systems nearing end-of-life.
What is the reset timeout duration for MAX6803US26D3+T, and is it guaranteed over temperature?
The MAX6803US26D3+T provides a minimum reset timeout of 100ms after VCC rises above 2.63V or after MR is deasserted. This is specified as 100ms (min), 150ms (typ), and 200ms (max) over -40°C to +125°C, with normalized variation <±15% across temperature. The timeout is internally generated and does not require external capacitors - a key feature of MAX6803US26D3+T.
How does the manual-reset (MR) input of MAX6803US26D3+T behave, and does it require external components?
The MR input of MAX6803US26D3+T features an internal 20kΩ pullup resistor and debounced logic, allowing direct connection of a momentary switch to GND without external RC networks. A logic-low pulse ≥1µs asserts RESET, which remains active for the full 100ms timeout after MR returns high. No external components are needed - a defining characteristic of MAX6803US26D3+T.
What output configuration does MAX6803US26D3+T use, and how does it interface to common microcontrollers?
MAX6803US26D3+T uses an active-high push/pull RESET output, sourcing up to 800µA while maintaining VOH ≥ 0.8 × VCC. This allows direct connection to standard CMOS µP reset inputs (e.g., STM32, PIC, MSP430) without pullup resistors or level shifters. Unlike open-drain alternatives, MAX6803US26D3+T avoids contention in multi-source reset architectures.
