Product details
Overview
MAX6804US31D3 from Maxim Integrated is a push/pull active-low microprocessor supervisory circuit designed to monitor 3.08V power supplies in embedded systems. It asserts RESET when VCC falls below 3.08V or MR is pulled low, maintains reset for ≥100ms after recovery, and operates down to 0.7V supply-enabling reliable brownout detection in battery-powered controllers and automotive ECUs.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6804US31D3 datasheet, MAX6804US31D3 pinout, MAX6804US31D3 application, or MAX6804US31D3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its factory-trimmed 3.08V threshold, guaranteed 100ms minimum reset timeout, push/pull output drive capability, and SOT143 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MAX6804US31D3 implements a precision voltage comparator with ±3% threshold accuracy over –40°C to +125°C, immune to transients ≤30µs at 100mV overdrive. Its internal 20kΩ MR pullup eliminates external components, and reset assertion is synchronized to VCC crossing the 3.08V threshold with <1µs propagation delay.
Unlike open-drain alternatives, the push/pull output drives both high and low actively-ensuring valid logic levels without external pullups-and remains functional down to VCC = 0.7V, supporting safe shutdown sequencing in low-voltage microcontroller systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 3.08V ±3% (factory-trimmed; enables precise 3.3V rail monitoring) |
| Reset Timeout | ≥100ms (guaranteed minimum; ensures full µP initialization before release) |
| Supply Voltage Range | 0.7V to 5.5V (supports operation during deep brownout and cold-cranking) |
| Supply Current | 5µA typical at 5V (ultra-low power for always-on monitoring in portable devices) |
| MR Input Logic | Active-low with 20kΩ internal pullup (no external resistor needed for manual reset) |
| RESET Output Type | Push/pull active-low (drives low to <0.4V @ 3.2mA; no external pullup required) |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +125°C (qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial environments) |
Pinout & Package
MAX6804US31D3 is housed in a 4-pin SOT143 package (2.9mm × 1.5mm × 1.1mm), optimized for high-density PCB layouts. Pin 1 is GND, Pin 2 is RESET (push/pull active-low), Pin 3 is MR (manual reset input), and Pin 4 is VCC.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Ground reference for all internal comparators and output stage |
| 2 | RESET | Active-low push/pull output; sinks 3.2mA min at VCC ≥ 4.25V; drives high to ≥0.8×VCC |
| 3 | MR | Manual reset input; logic low asserts RESET; internally pulled up to VCC via 20kΩ |
| 4 | VCC | Power supply input; monitored for brownout; powers internal circuitry down to 0.7V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-trimmed reset threshold | 3.08V with ±3% tolerance over full temperature range-eliminates calibration overhead |
| Guaranteed reset validity at low VCC | RESET remains asserted and electrically valid down to VCC = 0.7V-critical for fail-safe shutdown |
| No external components required | Integrated MR pullup and precision bandgap reference reduce BOM count and layout area |
| Transient-immune reset comparator | Rejects VCC glitches ≤30µs wide at 100mV overdrive-prevents spurious resets in noisy environments |
| Three standard timeout options | 100ms minimum timeout (D3 suffix) ensures compatibility with slow-start µPs and flash memory initialization |
Applications
| Automotive Engine Control Unit (ECU) | Industrial Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Monitors 3.3V microcontroller supply during vehicle cold-cranking where battery voltage dips to 6V–9V. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Brownout detector and power-on reset generator with 100ms hold time for DSP core initialization. Use Value: Prevents erratic ECU behavior by asserting RESET until stable 3.3V rail is confirmed and µP firmware completes boot sequence. | Use Scenario: Ensures deterministic startup of ARM-based controller after AC line interruption or brownout. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary reset supervisor with manual reset override for field service and firmware recovery. Use Value: Guarantees ≥100ms reset pulse even at –40°C ambient, meeting IEC 61000-4-11 immunity requirements. |
| Portable Medical Monitor | Smart Energy Meter |
Use Scenario: Maintains system integrity during Li-ion battery discharge from 4.2V to 2.8V, where 3.3V LDO output may sag. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-power supply monitor with 5µA quiescent current and 3.08V trip point aligned to LDO dropout margin.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6314US31D3-T | Same 3.08V threshold and 100ms timeout, but includes watchdog timer function | Required where µP firmware must be verified periodically-not suitable for pure reset-only use cases | Select only if watchdog supervision is explicitly needed; adds complexity and cost |
| TLV803EB31DBZR | 3.08V threshold, 140ms min timeout, SOT23-3 package, no MR input | Lacks manual reset capability; smaller footprint but no field-service reset option | Prefer when board space is critical and manual reset is unnecessary |
Compared with MAX6804US31D3, MAX6314US31D3 adds watchdog functionality at the cost of higher quiescent current (1.5µA vs. 5µA) and larger die size, while TLV803EB31DBZR trades MR support and push/pull drive for compactness-making MAX6804US31D3 optimal for robust, serviceable reset supervision in constrained thermal environments.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6804US31D3?
The MAX6804US31D3 has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 3.08V, with guaranteed tolerance of ±3% over the full operating temperature range (–40°C to +125°C). This value is laser-trimmed during production and specified in Table 1 of the datasheet; it enables precise supervision of 3.3V power rails with adequate margin above LDO dropout voltage.
Does MAX6804US31D3 require an external pullup resistor on the RESET pin?
No, MAX6804US31D3 does not require an external pullup resistor because it features a push/pull output stage that actively drives both high and low states. The RESET pin sources current to maintain a valid high level (≥0.8×VCC) when deasserted and sinks up to 3.2mA when asserted-eliminating dependency on external biasing components.
What is the minimum supply voltage at which MAX6804US31D3 guarantees correct RESET output state?
MAX6804US31D3 guarantees correct RESET output state down to VCC = 0.7V, as confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. This allows the device to assert and hold RESET reliably during deep brownout conditions-unlike many competitors that lose output validity below 1.0V.
How is the 100ms reset timeout period implemented in MAX6804US31D3?
The 100ms reset timeout in MAX6804US31D3 is factory-programmed using on-chip RC timing elements and is guaranteed to be ≥100ms over temperature (–40°C to +125°C). The D3 suffix denotes this specific timeout; actual typical duration is 150ms, with maximum 200ms-ensuring sufficient hold time for slow-start µPs and flash memory initialization sequences.
Can MAX6804US31D3 be used with microcontrollers that have bidirectional reset pins?
No, MAX6804US31D3 is not recommended for direct interfacing with µPs having bidirectional reset pins (e.g., Motorola 68HC11), because its push/pull output cannot tolerate external voltage sources on the RESET line. For such applications, the open-drain MAX6805US31D3 variant-with external pullup-is the appropriate choice to avoid bus contention.
