Product details
Overview
MAX6804US29D3+T from Maxim Integrated is a 4-pin SOT143 push/pull active-low microprocessor supervisory circuit designed for precise power supply monitoring in embedded systems. It asserts reset when VCC drops below 2.93V (±3% over temperature) or upon manual reset, with a guaranteed 100ms minimum timeout period and operation down to 0.7V supply voltage. Used in critical µP power monitoring for industrial controllers and portable equipment.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6804US29D3+T datasheet, MAX6804US29D3+T pinout, MAX6804US29D3+T application, or MAX6804US29D3+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its factory-trimmed 2.93V threshold, 100ms reset timeout, push/pull active-low output, ultra-low 4µA supply current, and guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 0.7V across –40°C to +125°C.
Technical Context
The MAX6804US29D3+T implements a precision bandgap-based reset comparator with ±3% threshold tolerance over –40°C to +125°C and immunity to fast VCC transients (e.g., <30µs at 10V/ms). Its internal 20kΩ MR pullup eliminates external components, and reset assertion is synchronized to VCC recovery with fixed 100ms timeout after VCC rises above 2.93V or MR deassertion.
This device operates as a single-function supervisor: no watchdog, no voltage sequencing, no window detection-only monotonic VCC monitoring and debounced manual reset. Its push/pull RESET output drives CMOS inputs directly without external pullup, supporting reliable reset signaling in low-power battery-operated systems where supply collapse below 1V must still guarantee valid logic levels.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.93V ±3% over –40°C to +125°C - ensures deterministic brownout detection at nominal 2.93V with tight thermal drift control |
| Reset Timeout Period | 100ms minimum - guarantees sufficient processor initialization time after power stabilization |
| Supply Voltage Range | 0.7V to 5.5V - enables operation during deep brownout and supports 3.3V/5V systems |
| Supply Current | 4µA typical at 3.0V - minimizes quiescent load in battery-powered applications |
| Output Type | Push/pull active-low RESET - eliminates need for external pullup resistor and ensures defined logic level at all VCC ≥ 0.7V |
| MR Input | Debounced, internally pulled up to VCC (20kΩ) - allows direct connection of momentary switch to GND without external RC network |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for industrial and automotive under-hood environments |
Pinout & Package
MAX6804US29D3+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 suitable for automated assembly and high-density 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-low push/pull output; sinks current when asserted (low), sources weakly when deasserted (high); valid down to VCC = 0.7V |
| 3 | MR | Manual-reset input; logic-low assertion triggers reset; internally pulled up to VCC (20kΩ); requires no external components |
| 4 | VCC | Primary power supply input; monitored for brownout; supports operation from 0.7V to 5.5V |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX811LCS29D3+T | Same 2.93V threshold and 100ms timeout, but rated only to +85°C (vs. +125°C); 5µA ICC vs. 4µA | Limited to commercial/industrial ambient, not extended-temperature automotive or under-hood use | Select when full –40°C to +125°C qualification is unnecessary and cost sensitivity outweighs temperature margin |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 2.93V threshold with 200ms timeout (not 100ms); 1.4µA ICC; open-drain output (requires pullup) | Longer timeout may delay system boot; open-drain output adds component and layout overhead | Choose only if longer reset duration is required and external pullup is acceptable in the design |
Compared with MAX811LCS29D3+T and TPS3808G33DBVR, the MAX6804US29D3+T delivers tighter temperature range coverage, lower quiescent current, and push/pull output architecture-making it optimal for space-constrained, extended-temperature, and ultra-low-power embedded systems requiring deterministic reset timing without external components.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6804US29D3+T and how tightly is it specified?
The MAX6804US29D3+T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 2.93V, with ±1.8% tolerance at +25°C and ±3% over the full –40°C to +125°C operating range. This specification is guaranteed by design and confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table of the official datasheet, ensuring consistent brownout detection across temperature extremes without calibration.
Does MAX6804US29D3+T require an external pullup resistor on the RESET pin?
No, MAX6804US29D3+T does not require an external pullup resistor because it features a push/pull output stage. The RESET pin actively drives high when deasserted and low when asserted, maintaining valid logic levels across its entire 0.7V–5.5V supply range-unlike open-drain alternatives such as the MAX6805US29D3+T which do require external pullup.
What is the minimum supply voltage at which MAX6804US29D3+T guarantees correct reset output behavior?
MAX6804US29D3+T guarantees correct RESET/RESET output behavior down to VCC = 0.7V across –40°C to +125°C. This is explicitly stated in the datasheet's Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics sections, enabling reliable operation during deep brownout conditions where many competing supervisors fail to assert or maintain reset.
How is the 100ms reset timeout period implemented in MAX6804US29D3+T?
The 100ms reset timeout period in MAX6804US29D3+T is factory-programmed and internally generated-no external capacitor or resistor is needed. The datasheet specifies tRP = 100ms (min), 150ms (typ), and 200ms (max) after VCC rises above 2.93V or MR is deasserted, ensuring predictable, repeatable reset release timing independent of external component tolerances.
Can MAX6804US29D3+T interface directly with microcontrollers that have bidirectional reset pins?
MAX6804US29D3+T is not recommended for direct interfacing with microcontrollers having bidirectional reset pins (e.g., Motorola 68HC11), because its push/pull output cannot tolerate being driven high by the µC. For such applications, the open-drain MAX6805US29D3+T is preferred-it allows shared reset bus operation with a single external pullup resistor, as documented in the Applications Information section.
