Product details
Overview
MAX6803US46D1+T from Maxim Integrated is a 4-pin SOT143 push/pull active-high microprocessor supervisory circuit designed for precise power supply monitoring in embedded systems. It asserts a high-level RESET signal when VCC drops below 4.63V (±3% over temperature) or upon manual reset, with a guaranteed minimum 1ms timeout and ultra-low 4µA supply current at 3V. It operates down to 0.7V and supports critical µP power monitoring in portable and industrial controllers.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6803US46D1+T datasheet, MAX6803US46D1+T pinout, MAX6803US46D1+T application, or MAX6803US46D1+T equivalent, this device delivers factory-trimmed 4.63V threshold supervision with 1ms reset timeout, push/pull active-high output, and guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 0.7V - key selection criteria for battery-powered and automotive-qualified designs requiring deterministic reset behavior during brownout.
Technical Context
The MAX6803US46D1+T implements a precision bandgap-based voltage comparator with internal hysteresis and a monostable timeout circuit triggered by VCC falling below 4.63V or MR assertion. Its push/pull output stage sources up to 800µA at VCC ≥ 4.25V while maintaining VOH ≥ 0.8×VCC, enabling direct interface with CMOS inputs without external pullups.
Reset propagation delay is specified at 30µs for VCC falling at 10V/ms, and the device features built-in immunity to fast transients - rejecting glitches ≤50ns and suppressing false resets for overdrive-dependent pulse widths per the Maximum Transient Duration vs. Comparator Overdrive curve. MR input includes internal 20kΩ pullup and 1µs minimum pulse width requirement.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.63V ±3% over -40°C to +125°C - ensures reliable brownout detection for 5V systems with margin against supply ripple |
| Reset Timeout Period | 1ms minimum - provides sufficient hold time for µP initialization without delaying system startup |
| Supply Voltage Range | 0.7V to 5.5V - enables operation during deep brownout and supports wide-input industrial power rails |
| Supply Current | 4µA typical at VCC = 3.0V - minimizes quiescent load in always-on battery backup circuits |
| Output Type | Push/pull active-high RESET - eliminates need for external pullup resistor and ensures defined logic level at all times |
| MR Input Logic | Active-low with 20kΩ internal pullup - allows momentary switch-to-GND connection without external components |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial control environments |
Pinout & Package
MAX6803US46D1+T is housed in a 4-pin SOT143 package (U4-1 outline, land pattern 90-0183), 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 for all internal circuitry and reset comparator; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| 2 | RESET | Active-high push/pull output; drives high during reset assertion (VCC < 4.63V or MR low), sinks current when deasserted |
| 3 | MR | Manual-reset input; logic-low assertion triggers reset; internally pulled up to VCC via 20kΩ resistor |
| 4 | VCC | Primary power supply input; monitored for brownout; powers internal regulator and comparator circuitry |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-trimmed 4.63V threshold | Eliminates external resistor divider calibration and improves long-term accuracy over temperature (-40°C to +125°C) |
| 1ms minimum reset timeout | Guarantees µP reset hold time meets minimum initialization requirements of ARM Cortex-M0/M3 and PIC16/18 families |
| 0.7V minimum operating voltage | Enables valid reset assertion during severe brownout conditions where other supervisors fail silently |
| Debounced MR input | Rejects mechanical switch bounce and EMI-induced noise without external RC filtering or firmware intervention |
| 4µA supply current at 3V | Extends battery life in coin-cell–powered IoT sensors and real-time clock backup circuits beyond 10 years |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Controllers | Automotive Body Control Modules |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Monitoring 5V rail in programmable logic controller I/O modules exposed to 12V battery transients and cold-crank voltage dips. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Active-high reset supervisor asserting RESET during VCC drop below 4.63V, holding for ≥1ms to ensure FPGA configuration integrity.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides deterministic reset timing independent of software watchdog, meeting IEC 62056-21 power-fail recovery requirements. Use Value: Push/pull active-high output directly drives dual-rail reset inputs without level-shifting, reducing BOM count and layout area. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset supervision applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX811TEUS46+T | Same 4.63V threshold and 1ms timeout, but active-low open-drain RESET output; requires external pullup resistor | Limited to systems where µP accepts active-low reset and can accommodate pullup loading on reset line | Select when interfacing with legacy µPs requiring active-low reset or bidirectional reset pins (e.g., Motorola 68HC11) |
| TPS3808G12DBVR | 4.63V threshold with 20ms default timeout (adjustable via capacitor); 1.8µA supply current; operates down to 0.9V | Not suitable for sub-0.9V brownout detection; longer default timeout may delay system recovery in time-critical applications | Prefer for ultra-low-power applications where 20ms reset hold is acceptable and extended VCC range (>0.9V) suffices |
Compared with MAX811TEUS46+T and TPS3808G12DBVR, the MAX6803US46D1+T uniquely combines active-high push/pull output, 0.7V operational floor, and factory-trimmed 4.63V/1ms configuration - making it optimal for new designs requiring minimal external components and guaranteed reset validity during deep brownout.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6803US46D1+T and how does it vary with temperature?
The MAX6803US46D1+T has a factory-trimmed nominal reset threshold of 4.63V at +25°C, with tolerance of ±1.8% at room temperature and ±3% over the full -40°C to +125°C operating range. This specification ensures consistent brownout detection across automotive and industrial thermal environments without requiring external calibration. The MAX6803US46D1+T maintains this accuracy using an internal bandgap reference and laser-trimmed resistive divider.
Does MAX6803US46D1+T require external components for basic reset functionality?
No, the MAX6803US46D1+T requires zero external components for core supervision: its 4.63V threshold is factory-trimmed, MR input includes a 20kΩ internal pullup, and the push/pull active-high RESET output eliminates need for external pullup resistors. Only decoupling capacitance (0.1µF ceramic near VCC pin) is recommended for noise immunity - confirming the MAX6803US46D1+T's role as a true single-chip solution for µP reset management.
How does the 1ms reset timeout of MAX6803US46D1+T compare to industry-standard µP initialization requirements?
The 1ms minimum timeout of MAX6803US46D1+T exceeds the reset hold time requirements of most modern microcontrollers, including ARM Cortex-M0/M3/M4 (typically 100µs–500µs), PIC16/18 (2ms max), and STM32L series (100µs). This margin ensures robust initialization even under worst-case clock startup delays and guarantees that the MAX6803US46D1+T remains asserted throughout the entire µP power-on sequence without premature release.
Can MAX6803US46D1+T operate reliably during severe brownout conditions below 1V?
Yes, the MAX6803US46D1+T is fully specified to operate down to 0.7V and guarantees correct reset state (including valid active-high RESET output) at VCC = 0.7V - a capability confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. This makes the MAX6803US46D1+T uniquely suited for applications like automotive cold-cranking or battery-dead scenarios where competing supervisors cease functioning above 1.0V.
What is the purpose of the debounced MR input on MAX6803US46D1+T and how is it implemented?
The debounced MR input on MAX6803US46D1+T rejects mechanical switch bounce and EMI-induced noise through internal digital filtering, requiring only a 1µs minimum low pulse width to trigger reset - eliminating need for external RC networks or firmware debouncing. Its 20kΩ internal pullup allows direct connection of a momentary switch to GND, simplifying board layout and ensuring deterministic manual reset across temperature and voltage extremes in the MAX6803US46D1+T.
