Product details
Overview
MAX6806UR26 from Maxim Integrated is a precision voltage detector IC designed for power-supply monitoring in microprocessor-based systems. It features a factory-preset 2.6V ±2% reset threshold, active-low push-pull RESET output, and operates down to VCC = 1.0V - enabling reliable brownout detection in battery-powered controllers and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6806UR26 datasheet, MAX6806UR26 pinout, MAX6806UR26 application, or MAX6806UR26 equivalent, key selection criteria include reset threshold accuracy, supply-current efficiency (35µA typ), VCC operating range (1.0V–5.5V), and compatibility with low-voltage µP reset interfaces requiring guaranteed logic-low assertion below 1V.
Technical Context
The MAX6806UR26 implements a precision bandgap-based voltage comparator with internal hysteresis (VHYST = 0.02–0.03 × VTH−) to prevent output oscillation during supply transients. Its reset assertion is triggered solely by VCC falling below the 2.6V threshold - no timeout delay or watchdog function is included.
It uses a push-pull output stage capable of sinking ≥20µA at VCC = 1.0V (VOL ≤ 0.3V) and sourcing up to 2.0mA at VCC = 5.0V (VOH ≥ 0.8×VCC), eliminating external pull-up components. The device is rated for operation from −40°C to +85°C and supports transient immunity up to 100V/µs on VCC.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.60V ±2% (VTH−), ensuring accurate detection of 2.5V ±5% supply regulation loss |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - enables valid RESET assertion even during deep brownout or single-cell Li-ion discharge |
| Supply Current | 35µA typical at VCC = 3.6V - minimizes quiescent load in always-on power-monitoring circuits |
| RESET Output Type | Active-low push-pull - drives µP reset pins directly without external pull-up resistor |
| Hysteresis | 0.02–0.03 × VTH− - prevents chatter near threshold during slow-rising/falling VCC |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and portable equipment environments |
| VCC Transient Immunity | Rated to 100V/µs - suppresses false resets from ESD or switching noise on supply rail |
Pinout & Package
MAX6806UR26 is housed in a 3-pin SOT23 package (U3-1 outline), with pin 1 = RESET (active-low push-pull), pin 2 = GND, pin 3 = VCC. No manual reset (MR) or NC pins are present in this variant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (RESET) | Active-low reset output | Drives µP reset pin low when VCC < 2.6V; sinks current to guarantee logic-low state down to VCC = 1.0V |
| 2 (GND) | Ground reference | Common return path for internal comparator and output stage; must be low-impedance for stable threshold accuracy |
| 3 (VCC) | Supply input | Power source for internal circuitry; also monitored for reset condition; accepts 1.0V–5.5V with full functionality |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision 2.6V threshold | ±2% accuracy over temperature ensures consistent reset point across −40°C to +85°C without calibration |
| Push-pull RESET output | Eliminates need for external pull-up resistor - simplifies BOM and PCB layout in space-constrained designs |
| Low 35µA supply current | Enables continuous monitoring in battery-backed systems with multi-year operational life |
| Valid RESET down to VCC = 1.0V | Guarantees clean system reset before µP enters undefined state during deep undervoltage conditions |
| Immunity to VCC transients | Withstands 100V/µs supply edge rates - avoids spurious resets in noisy industrial or automotive power environments |
Applications
| Portable/Battery-Powered Equipment | Intelligent Instruments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage detector applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV803EB26DBZR | 2.63V threshold (±1%), 300ms minimum reset pulse width, open-drain output | Requires external pull-up; fixed timeout adds delay not present in MAX6806UR26's immediate assertion | Select when longer reset hold time is required for slow-start µPs or when open-drain flexibility is needed |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V threshold (±0.5%), adjustable delay (0–10s), push-pull output, 1.8V–6.0V VCC range | Higher threshold and programmable delay make it unsuitable for 2.6V brownout detection without redesign | Choose only if system requires higher reset voltage or configurable reset timing - not a direct functional substitute |
Compared with TLV803EB26DBZR and TPS3808G33DBVR, the MAX6806UR26 delivers immediate, threshold-only reset assertion at precisely 2.6V with zero added delay and no external components - critical for fast-response, low-voltage embedded systems where timing predictability and component count are design priorities.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6806UR26?
The MAX6806UR26 has a factory-trimmed nominal reset threshold of 2.60V with ±2% accuracy over temperature (−40°C to +85°C). At +25°C, the specified range is 2.548V to 2.652V for VCC falling. This threshold is optimized for detecting failure of 2.5V ±5% supplies before downstream ICs exit their operational voltage window.
Does the MAX6806UR26 provide a reset timeout or delay period?
No, the MAX6806UR26 does not include a reset timeout or programmable delay. Its RESET output asserts immediately when VCC falls below the 2.6V threshold and deasserts immediately when VCC rises above the hysteresis-adjusted threshold (VTH+ ≈ 2.626V). This behavior differs from supervisory circuits like the MAX63xx family and suits applications needing instantaneous response to supply faults.
Can the MAX6806UR26 operate with a 1.8V supply?
Yes, the MAX6806UR26 is fully functional with VCC as low as 1.0V. At 1.8V, it maintains guaranteed RESET output performance: VOL ≤ 0.4V when sinking 1.0mA, and ICC remains at 35µA typical. This makes it suitable for use with modern low-voltage µPs and SoCs that operate down to 1.8V or 1.2V rails.
Is the MAX6806UR26 pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX6806/MAX6807/MAX6808 family?
Yes - all 3-pin SOT23 variants (e.g., MAX6806UR26, MAX6807UR26, MAX6808UR26) share identical pinout: pin 1 = RESET/RESET, pin 2 = GND, pin 3 = VCC. However, output logic polarity and drive type differ: MAX6806UR26 is active-low push-pull, MAX6807UR26 is active-high push-pull, and MAX6808UR26 is active-low open-drain. Swapping requires schematic and firmware review.
What is the maximum VCC slew rate the MAX6806UR26 can tolerate without false triggering?
The MAX6806UR26 is rated for VCC slew rates up to 100V/µs without generating spurious reset pulses. This specification is validated per the Electrical Characteristics table and confirmed in Figure 3 of the datasheet, which plots maximum allowable negative-going transient duration versus reset-comparator overdrive. A 0.1µF ceramic capacitor placed close to the VCC pin further enhances immunity.
