Product details
Overview
MAX6806UR46-T from Maxim Integrated is a precision voltage detector IC designed for power-supply monitoring in microprocessor-based systems. It features a factory-preset 4.6V ±2% reset threshold, active-low push-pull RESET output, guaranteed operation down to VCC = 1.0V, 35µA supply current, and internal hysteresis - enabling reliable power-on reset generation in portable battery-powered equipment and critical µP/µC applications.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6806UR46-T datasheet, MAX6806UR46-T pinout, MAX6806UR46-T application, or MAX6806UR46-T equivalent, this device delivers deterministic reset assertion during power-up, brown-out, and power-down events while eliminating external components and calibration - key for space-constrained, low-power embedded designs requiring stable supply monitoring.
Technical Context
The MAX6806UR46-T implements a precision bandgap-based voltage comparator with internal hysteresis (VHYST = 0.02–0.03 × VTH−), ensuring noise-immune switching between rising and falling VCC thresholds. Its reset logic asserts RESET low when VCC falls below 4.6V (±2% at +25°C) and deasserts immediately upon VCC exceeding VTH+, with no timeout delay.
It operates across −40°C to +85°C, draws only 35µA typical supply current at VCC = 3.6V, and maintains valid RESET output down to VCC = 1.0V. The SOT23-3 package provides minimal footprint without manual reset input - distinguishing it from the 4-pin SOT143 variant.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.6V ±2% (VTH− at +25°C); ensures reliable detection of 5V supply undervoltage before system ICs drop out of spec. |
| Supply Current | 35µA typical at VCC = 3.6V; enables multi-year battery life in portable equipment. |
| RESET Output Type | Active-low, push-pull; drives CMOS inputs directly without pull-up resistor, reducing BOM count. |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.0V to 5.5V (−40°C to +85°C); supports full reset validity during deep brown-out down to near-dead-battery conditions. |
| Hysteresis | 0.02–0.03 × VTH−; prevents output chatter during slow-rising/falling VCC near threshold. |
| Tempco | 30 ppm/°C; maintains threshold stability over industrial temperature range. |
| Reset Delay | 30µs (VCC falling at 1mV/µs); provides fast, deterministic response to supply collapse. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6806UR46-T is housed in a 3-pin SOT23 package (package code U3-1), with exposed pad not electrically connected. Pin 1 is RESET (active-low push-pull), Pin 2 is GND, and Pin 3 is VCC.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (RESET) | Active-low reset output | Drives low during undervoltage; sinks up to 1mA at VCC = 2.0V; valid down to VCC = 1.0V. |
| 2 (GND) | Ground reference | Common return path for internal circuitry and RESET load; must be low-impedance. |
| 3 (VCC) | Supply voltage input | Accepts 1.0V–5.5V; powers internal comparator and output stage; absolute max = +6.0V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision 4.6V threshold | ±2% accuracy over −40°C to +85°C ensures robust detection margin for 5V ±5% supplies. |
| No external components required | Integrated hysteresis, reference, and output driver eliminate resistors, capacitors, and trimming. |
| Low 35µA quiescent current | Enables use in always-on battery-backed systems without compromising runtime. |
| Immunity to VCC transients | Withstands negative-going transients ≤100µs (depending on overdrive), reducing need for extra filtering. |
| Valid RESET down to 1.0V | Guarantees clean reset assertion even as battery voltage collapses near end-of-life. |
Applications
| Portable/Battery-Powered Equipment | Critical µP and µC Power Monitoring |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage detector applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6326UR46-T | Same 4.6V threshold, but includes 200ms reset timeout and higher 100µA supply current. | Used where extended reset pulse duration is required for slow-starting peripherals. | Select MAX6326UR46-T only if timeout functionality is needed; MAX6806UR46-T offers faster, immediate reset release. |
| TLV803EB46DBZR | 4.6V threshold, ±1% accuracy, 300nA quiescent current, but open-drain output requiring pull-up. | Suitable for ultra-low-power IoT sensors where µA-level savings outweigh added component count. | Choose TLV803EB46DBZR for sub-µA standby; MAX6806UR46-T is preferred when push-pull drive and simplicity are prioritized. |
Compared with MAX6326UR46-T and TLV803EB46DBZR, the MAX6806UR46-T uniquely balances precision (±2%), ultra-low power (35µA), and push-pull simplicity - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained µP supervisory roles where immediate reset response and zero external parts are essential.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6806UR46-T?
The MAX6806UR46-T has a factory-trimmed nominal reset threshold of 4.6V, specified as 4.508V (min) to 4.692V (max) at +25°C, with ±2% accuracy over the full −40°C to +85°C operating range. This value is guaranteed per the Electrical Characteristics table in the official datasheet and applies specifically to the MAX6806UR46-T variant.
Does the MAX6806UR46-T include a manual reset input?
No, the MAX6806UR46-T does not include a manual reset (MR) input. It is packaged in a 3-pin SOT23 configuration with only RESET, GND, and VCC pins. Manual reset capability is exclusive to the 4-pin SOT143 variants (e.g., MAX6806US46-T), which dedicate Pin 2 to MR.
What is the minimum VCC voltage at which the MAX6806UR46-T guarantees valid RESET output?
The MAX6806UR46-T guarantees valid active-low RESET output down to VCC = 1.0V, as confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under "RESET Output Voltage (MAX6806/MAX6808)" with VOL ≤ 0.3V at ISINK = 20µA and VCC = 1.0V. Below 1.0V, RESET becomes high-impedance.
Can the MAX6806UR46-T replace the MAX6326UR46-T in an existing design?
The MAX6806UR46-T is not a direct functional replacement for the MAX6326UR46-T because it lacks the 200ms reset timeout feature. While both share the same 4.6V threshold and SOT23-3 package, the MAX6806UR46-T releases RESET immediately upon VCC exceeding VTH+, whereas the MAX6326UR46-T holds RESET active for 200ms. Board-level validation is required before substitution.
What package type and marking does the MAX6806UR46-T use?
The MAX6806UR46-T uses the 3-pin SOT23 package (outline 21-0051) with top-mark "FZDP", as documented in the Selector Guide section of the MAX6806–MAX6808 datasheet. It is supplied in tape-and-reel format with a minimum order quantity of 2500 units.
