Product details
Overview
MAX6803US44D3+T from Maxim Integrated is a push/pull, active-high microprocessor supervisory circuit in 4-pin SOT143 package, monitoring 4.38V ±3% VCC supply with 100ms minimum reset timeout, ultra-low 4µA supply current, and guaranteed operation down to 0.7V VCC. It asserts RESET high during power-up, brownout, or manual reset for reliable µP initialization in battery-powered instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6803US44D3+T datasheet, MAX6803US44D3+T pinout, MAX6803US44D3+T application, or MAX6803US44D3+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its factory-trimmed 4.38V threshold, 100ms reset timeout, active-high push/pull output, -40°C to +125°C operation, and compatibility with space-constrained µP systems requiring deterministic reset assertion without external components.
Technical Context
The MAX6803US44D3+T implements a precision bandgap-based voltage comparator with factory-trimmed 4.38V reset threshold (±1.8% at +25°C, ±3% over full temperature range) and internal 20kΩ MR pullup. Its reset logic guarantees valid RESET output down to VCC = 0.7V, with 30µs propagation delay on VCC falling edge at 10V/ms.
It features a debounced manual-reset input (MR), 1µs minimum MR pulse width, 50ns MR glitch immunity, and 0.1µs MR reset delay. The push/pull RESET output sources up to 800µA at VCC ≥ 4.25V while asserted, and sinks up to 3.2mA while deasserted, maintaining VOH ≥ 0.8×VCC and VOL ≤ 0.4V across operating conditions.

FAQ
What is the factory-trimmed reset threshold voltage for MAX6803US44D3+T?
The MAX6803US44D3+T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 4.38V, specified with ±1.8% tolerance at +25°C and ±3% over the full -40°C to +125°C operating temperature range. This precise threshold ensures reliable brownout detection for systems powered by nominal 4.5V supplies, and is confirmed in Table 1 of the official datasheet under suffix "44". The MAX6803US44D3+T uses this exact threshold value without user adjustment.
Does MAX6803US44D3+T support active-high or active-low reset output?
The MAX6803US44D3+T features an active-high, push/pull RESET output - meaning it drives the RESET pin high during reset assertion and actively pulls it low when deasserted. This eliminates the need for an external pullup resistor and provides direct compatibility with µP reset inputs expecting high-active signaling. Unlike the MAX6804 (active-low push/pull) or MAX6805 (active-low open-drain), the MAX6803US44D3+T is specifically designed for active-high applications.
What is the minimum reset timeout period for MAX6803US44D3+T?
The MAX6803US44D3+T has a minimum reset timeout period of 100ms, corresponding to the "D3" suffix in its part number. This timeout begins when VCC rises above the 4.38V threshold or when the manual reset (MR) input is released, and ensures the microprocessor remains held in reset long enough for power rails and clocks to stabilize. Typical and maximum values are 150ms and 200ms respectively, per the Electrical Characteristics table.
Can MAX6803US44D3+T operate reliably at very low supply voltages?
Yes, the MAX6803US44D3+T is guaranteed to maintain correct reset state down to VCC = 0.7V, and operates across a full supply range of 0.7V to 5.5V. This capability ensures deterministic reset assertion during deep brownout conditions where other supervisors may fail, and is explicitly validated for the MAX6803/MAX6804 family (not MAX6805). The MAX6803US44D3+T leverages this feature to provide fail-safe behavior in battery-depleted or cold-cranking scenarios.
What package type and footprint does MAX6803US44D3+T use?
The MAX6803US44D3+T is packaged in a 4-pin SOT143 (also referenced as U4-1), with dimensions of 1.3mm × 2.1mm × 0.95mm and gull-wing surface-mount leads. Its land pattern is documented as 90-0183, and the package outline is 21-0052. This compact, RoHS-compliant lead-free package supports high-density PCB layouts and is compatible with standard reflow soldering processes. The "+T" suffix confirms lead-free termination per the ordering information.
