Product details
Overview
MAX6804US46D3 from Maxim Integrated is a push/pull active-low microprocessor supervisory circuit designed for precise 4.63V power-supply monitoring in embedded systems. It asserts RESET when VCC drops below 4.63V or upon manual reset, holds reset for ≥100ms after recovery, and operates down to 0.7V supply-enabling reliable brownout detection in automotive controllers and battery-powered instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6804US46D3 datasheet, MAX6804US46D3 pinout, MAX6804US46D3 application, or MAX6804US46D3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its factory-trimmed 4.63V threshold, guaranteed 100ms minimum timeout, push/pull output drive capability, ultra-low 4–12µA supply current, and SOT143 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MAX6804US46D3 implements a precision bandgap-based voltage comparator with ±3% threshold accuracy over –40°C to +125°C, immune to fast VCC transients (e.g., ≤30µs glitches at 100mV overdrive). Its internal MR pullup resistor (12–30kΩ) enables direct connection to momentary switches without external components.
Reset assertion is synchronized to VCC crossing the 4.63V threshold with <30µs propagation delay during falling-edge detection; the 100ms timeout is factory-programmed and temperature-stable (±15% over full range), ensuring deterministic power-on sequencing in µP-based industrial controllers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.63V ±3% (factory-trimmed; ensures accurate 5V rail brownout detection) |
| Reset Timeout | ≥100ms (guaranteed minimum; provides sufficient µP initialization time) |
| Supply Voltage Range | 0.7V to 5.5V (supports operation during deep brownout and full-rail startup) |
| Supply Current | 4–12µA (ultra-low quiescent draw; extends battery life in portable equipment) |
| Output Type | Active-low push/pull (drives RESET low without external pullup; simplifies interface) |
| MR Input | Debounced, internally pulled up (12–30kΩ); accepts momentary switch to GND) |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +125°C (fully specified for automotive under-hood and industrial environments) |
Pinout & Package
MAX6804US46D3 is housed in a 4-pin SOT143 package (1.3mm × 2.1mm footprint), optimized for high-density PCB layouts. Pin 1 = GND, Pin 2 = RESET (active-low push/pull), Pin 3 = MR (manual reset input), Pin 4 = VCC.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (GND) | Ground reference | Common return path for all internal circuitry; must be low-impedance to ensure comparator accuracy |
| 2 (RESET) | Active-low reset output | Push/pull driver asserts logic low during fault; no external pullup required; sinks ≥1.2mA at VCC ≥3.0V |
| 3 (MR) | Manual reset input | Logic-low active; internal 20kΩ pullup allows direct switch-to-GND connection; 1µs minimum pulse width |
| 4 (VCC) | Supply voltage input | Power source for internal regulator and comparator; supports operation down to 0.7V for fail-safe behavior |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-trimmed 4.63V threshold | Eliminates external resistor dividers and calibration; meets tight 5V system tolerance requirements |
| 100ms minimum reset timeout | Guarantees µP reset hold time exceeds typical boot ROM execution latency |
| 0.7V minimum operating voltage | Ensures valid RESET assertion even as VCC collapses during power failure |
| 4–12µA supply current | Reduces standby power in always-on monitoring circuits (e.g., automotive ECU wake-up logic) |
| Debounced MR input with internal pullup | Removes need for RC filters or Schmitt triggers; simplifies front-panel reset implementation |
Applications
| Automotive Engine Control Unit (ECU) | Industrial Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Monitors 5V supply rail in engine management systems subject to load dump and cold-crank transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervisory circuit asserting active-low RESET to MCU during brownout events. Use Value: Guaranteed operation down to 0.7V and 100ms timeout prevent spurious reboots during cranking-induced voltage sag. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Power-on reset generator with manual override via front-panel button. Use Value: Factory-set 4.63V threshold matches nominal 5V LDO output; push/pull output drives reset net without pullup. |
| Portable Medical Instrumentation | Battery-Powered Data Logger |
Use Scenario: Maintains safe shutdown state in handheld diagnostic devices powered by Li-ion batteries. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-power supervisor detecting end-of-discharge (4.63V ≈ 90% SoC for 2S pack).

Use Scenario: Provides reliable power-on reset for ARM Cortex-M based loggers deployed in remote locations. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Reset sequencer asserting RESET until stable 3.3V/5V rails are established. Use Value: Immunity to <30µs VCC glitches prevents false resets during switching regulator noise bursts. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX811TEUS+T | 4.63V threshold, 140ms timeout, same SOT143 package, but higher 15µA ICC | Lacks debounced MR input; requires external RC filter for switch interface | Select when longer timeout is acceptable and MR debounce is implemented externally |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V threshold (not 4.63V); adjustable timeout via capacitor; 1.6µA ICC; SOT23-5 package | Requires external timing capacitor and pullup; different pinout and footprint | Select only if threshold adjustment is needed and board layout allows SOT23-5 rework |
Compared with MAX811TEUS+T and TPS3808G33DBVR, the MAX6804US46D3 delivers exact 4.63V detection with integrated MR debounce and lowest possible footprint-making it optimal for fixed-threshold, space-constrained 5V systems where minimal BOM count and guaranteed 100ms hold time are critical.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6804US46D3?
The MAX6804US46D3 features a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 4.63V, with ±3% tolerance over the full –40°C to +125°C temperature range. This value is confirmed in Table 1 of the official datasheet and corresponds to the "46" suffix in the part number. The threshold is set using laser trimming during production to ensure accuracy without external components.
Does MAX6804US46D3 require an external pullup resistor on the RESET pin?
No, MAX6804US46D3 does not require an external pullup resistor because it uses a push/pull output stage. The RESET pin actively drives low during assertion and high during deassertion, eliminating dependency on external biasing. This simplifies design and improves noise immunity compared to open-drain alternatives like the MAX6805US46D3.
What is the minimum supply voltage at which MAX6804US46D3 guarantees correct RESET output behavior?
MAX6804US46D3 guarantees correct RESET/RESET output states down to VCC = 0.7V, as explicitly stated in the datasheet's General Description and Absolute Maximum Ratings sections. This ensures fail-safe reset assertion even during severe brownout conditions before the host µP loses functionality.
How is the 100ms reset timeout period implemented in MAX6804US46D3?
The 100ms reset timeout in MAX6804US46D3 is factory-programmed and internally generated-no external capacitor is needed. The "D3" suffix denotes the 100ms minimum timeout variant. Electrical Characteristics confirm tRP ≥100ms (typical 150ms, max 200ms), with ±15% stability over temperature, providing predictable µP initialization timing.
Is MAX6804US46D3 pin-compatible with other supervisory ICs?
Yes, MAX6804US46D3 is pin-compatible with the MAX811/MAX812 and MAX6314/MAX6315 families in the 4-pin SOT143 package. Pin assignments (GND, RESET, MR, VCC) match exactly, enabling drop-in replacement where the 4.63V threshold and 100ms timeout meet system requirements-subject to verification of output type (push/pull) and MR interface compatibility.
