Product details
Overview
MAX6803US44D3+ from Maxim Integrated is a push/pull, active-high microprocessor supervisory circuit in 4-pin SOT143 package, monitoring VCC from 2.85V to 5.0V with factory-trimmed 4.38V reset threshold (±3% over -40°C to +125°C), 100ms minimum reset timeout, and guaranteed operation down to 0.7V supply voltage. It provides reliable power-on/brownout reset for embedded controllers and portable equipment.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6803US44D3+ datasheet, MAX6803US44D3+ pinout, MAX6803US44D3+ application, or MAX6803US44D3+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its active-high RESET output, ultra-low 4µA supply current at 3.0V, debounced manual-reset input with internal 20kΩ pullup, and immunity to fast VCC transients up to 30µs at 10V/ms slew rate.
Technical Context
The MAX6803US44D3+ implements a precision bandgap-based reset comparator with factory-trimmed 4.38V threshold and ±3% tolerance over full temperature range. Its push/pull output drives high during reset assertion (VOH ≥ 0.8×VCC at 1µA) and low otherwise (VOL ≤ 0.4V at 3.2mA), ensuring deterministic logic levels for µP reset inputs.
Reset timeout is fixed at ≥100ms after VCC rises above threshold or MR deassertion, with propagation delay under 30µs for VCC falling at 10V/ms. The device maintains valid RESET output down to VCC = 0.7V and includes MR glitch immunity of 50ns and minimum pulse width of 1µs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.38V ±3% over -40°C to +125°C - ensures reliable brownout detection for 4.5V nominal supplies |
| Reset Timeout Period | 100ms minimum - guarantees sufficient hold time for processor initialization sequences |
| Supply Current | 4µA typical at VCC = 3.0V - enables multi-year battery life in portable applications |
| Operating Voltage Range | 0.7V to 5.5V - supports operation during deep brownout and full-system power-up |
| MR Input Logic | Active-low with 20kΩ internal pullup - eliminates external components for manual reset |
| RESET Output Type | Push/pull active-high - directly interfaces with µP reset pins requiring high-asserted reset |
| VCC Transient Immunity | Rejects <30µs negative glitches at 10V/ms - prevents false resets from switching noise |
Pinout & Package
MAX6803US44D3+ uses a 4-pin SOT143 package (U4-1 outline, land pattern 90-0183), measuring 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm, with gull-wing leads and RoHS-compliant lead-free finish (+ suffix).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Ground reference for all internal circuitry and reset comparator |
| 2 | RESET | Active-high push/pull output asserted high during reset; sinks current when inactive |
| 3 | MR | Manual-reset input; logic low asserts reset; internally pulled up to VCC at 20kΩ |
| 4 | VCC | Power supply input; monitored for reset generation and powers internal circuitry |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-trimmed 4.38V threshold | Eliminates external resistor networks and calibration for precise 4.5V system monitoring |
| 100ms minimum reset timeout | Meets JEDEC JESD78 requirements for microcontroller initialization hold time |
| 0.7V minimum operating voltage | Ensures reset remains valid through deep brownout conditions before system shutdown |
| Debounced MR input | Accepts mechanical switch inputs without external RC filtering or firmware debounce |
| 4µA supply current at 3.0V | Reduces quiescent power in always-on monitoring circuits by >90% vs. discrete solutions |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset supervision applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX811SEUS46D3+ | Same 4.63V threshold and 100ms timeout but lower 2.5µA ICC; push/pull active-low output | Requires µP with active-low reset input; not compatible with active-high reset architectures | Select only if target µP accepts active-low reset and lower supply current is prioritized |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V fixed threshold, 200ms timeout, 1.8µA ICC; active-low open-drain output | Lacks manual reset input; requires external pullup; incompatible with 4.38V monitoring requirement | Use only for 3.3V systems where manual reset is unnecessary and longer timeout is acceptable |
Compared with MAX811SEUS46D3+ and TPS3808G33DBVR, the MAX6803US44D3+ uniquely satisfies applications requiring 4.38V threshold, active-high reset, manual reset capability, and guaranteed 0.7V operation-making it irreplaceable in 4.5V industrial controllers and portable medical devices.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for MAX6803US44D3+ and how tightly is it specified?
The MAX6803US44D3+ has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 4.38V at +25°C, with guaranteed tolerance of ±3% over the full operating temperature range (-40°C to +125°C). This means the actual threshold falls between 4.249V and 4.511V across temperature, ensuring robust detection of brownout on 4.5V nominal rails without false triggering.
Does MAX6803US44D3+ support manual reset, and what are the electrical requirements for the MR pin?
Yes, MAX6803US44D3+ includes a debounced manual-reset input (MR) that asserts reset when pulled low. The MR pin features an internal 20kΩ pullup resistor to VCC, so it can be left unconnected when unused. To activate manual reset, connect a normally open momentary switch from MR to GND; no external components are required due to built-in debouncing.
What is the minimum supply voltage at which MAX6803US44D3+ guarantees correct reset output behavior?
The MAX6803US44D3+ guarantees correct RESET/RESET output state down to VCC = 0.7V, as confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. This allows the device to maintain valid active-high reset assertion even during deep brownout conditions before system power collapse.
How does the 100ms reset timeout period of MAX6803US44D3+ impact microcontroller startup timing?
The MAX6803US44D3+ provides a minimum 100ms reset timeout period after VCC rises above 4.38V or after MR is released. This ensures the microcontroller remains held in reset long enough to complete internal oscillator stabilization, PLL lock, and memory initialization-meeting or exceeding JEDEC JESD78 requirements for reliable power-on sequencing.
Is MAX6803US44D3+ pin-compatible with other members of the MAX6803/MAX6804/MAX6805 family?
Yes, MAX6803US44D3+ shares identical 4-pin SOT143 pinout and footprint with all MAX6803, MAX6804, and MAX6805 variants. Pin 1 is GND, Pin 2 is RESET (active-high push/pull), Pin 3 is MR, and Pin 4 is VCC. This allows direct substitution within the same family when changing reset threshold or output type, provided system-level logic polarity is verified.
