Product details
Overview
MAX6806US26-T 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 manual-reset (MR) input - all in a 4-pin SOT143 package. Valid down to VCC = 1.0V, it ensures reliable brownout detection in battery-powered instrumentation and portable controllers.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6806US26-T datasheet, MAX6806US26-T pinout, MAX6806US26-T application, or MAX6806US26-T equivalent, key selection criteria include reset threshold accuracy (±2%), MR input support, push-pull output drive capability, low 35µA supply current, and guaranteed operation across –40°C to +85°C.
Technical Context
The MAX6806US26-T implements a precision bandgap-based voltage comparator with internal hysteresis (VHYST = 0.02–0.03 × VTH−), enabling stable switching during supply transients. Its reset assertion is triggered when VCC falls below 2.548V (min) at +25°C, with temperature coefficient of ≤30 ppm/°C.
It integrates an 80kΩ internal pulldown resistor on the MR pin, allowing direct connection of a momentary switch to VCC for manual reset initiation. The push-pull RESET output drives logic-low (≤0.3V at 20µA, VCC = 1.0V) and logic-high (≥0.8×VCC at 2.0mA, VCC = 5.0V) without external pullup components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.6V ±2% (2.548V–2.652V at +25°C); ensures accurate power-fail detection for 2.5V/3.3V systems |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.0V to 5.5V (–40°C to +85°C); supports operation during deep brownout and battery discharge |
| Supply Current | 35µA typical at VCC = 3.6V; enables multi-year battery life in portable equipment |
| RESET Output Type | Active-low, push-pull; eliminates need for external pullup and drives CMOS/TTL loads directly |
| Manual Reset Input | MR pin with 80kΩ internal pulldown; allows hardware-initiated reset via momentary switch without external biasing |
| Hysteresis | 0.02–0.03 × VTH−; prevents output chatter near threshold during slow-rising/falling VCC |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C; qualified for industrial and extended-temperature embedded applications |
Pinout & Package
MAX6806US26-T is housed in a 4-pin SOT143 package (JEDEC MO-178AA), with exposed pad option not specified. Pin 1 is RESET, Pin 2 is GND, Pin 3 is VCC, and Pin 4 is MR.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (RESET) | Active-low push-pull reset output | Asserts logic-low when VCC < 2.6V or MR = high; sinks up to 1mA, drives high to ≥0.8×VCC |
| 2 (GND) | Ground reference | Return path for internal circuitry and RESET output; must be low-impedance for noise immunity |
| 3 (VCC) | Supply voltage input | Power source for detector core; operates down to 1.0V with full reset functionality |
| 4 (MR) | Active-high manual reset input | Asserts RESET low when pulled ≥0.7×VCC; internally pulldown-biased (80kΩ) for NC-safe operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision 2.6V threshold | ±2% accuracy over temperature ensures consistent trip point across –40°C to +85°C without calibration |
| Integrated MR function | Eliminates external pullup/pulldown resistors and simplifies board layout for test/reset access |
| Push-pull RESET output | Drives both logic-high and logic-low states actively - no external pullup required for standard µP reset inputs |
| Low 35µA quiescent current | Minimizes standby power draw in always-on monitoring circuits for battery-operated bar-code scanners |
| Transient immunity | Immune to negative-going VCC transients ≤100µs (at 100mV overdrive), improving robustness in noisy power environments |
Applications
| Portable/Battery-Powered Equipment | Intelligent Instruments |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Handheld multimeters and portable data loggers operating from single-cell Li-ion or alkaline batteries. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monitors declining battery voltage and asserts reset before system logic fails due to undervoltage. Use Value: Prevents corrupted memory writes and erratic µC behavior during battery depletion by triggering clean restart at 2.6V threshold. | Use Scenario: Benchtop oscilloscopes and spectrum analyzers requiring deterministic power-up sequencing. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides precise power-on reset signal synchronized to 3.3V analog/digital supply stabilization. Use Value: Ensures FPGA configuration and ADC initialization occur only after supplies settle within spec, eliminating boot failures. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage detector applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6326UR26-T | Same 2.6V threshold, but no MR pin; 3-pin SOT23 package; higher 50µA supply current | Lacks manual reset capability; unsuitable where field reset is required | Select when board space is constrained and MR is unnecessary |
| TPS3808G26DBVR | 2.63V threshold (±0.5%), 1.8–6.0V VCC range, 1.6µA quiescent current, no MR pin | Lower power but no manual reset; open-drain output requires pullup | Prefer for ultra-low-power designs where MR and push-pull drive are not needed |
Compared with MAX6806US26-T, MAX6326UR26-T saves board area but removes MR functionality, while TPS3808G26DBVR reduces supply current by >95% yet requires external pullup and lacks MR - making MAX6806US26-T optimal for compact, field-serviceable 2.6V monitoring.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6806US26-T?
The MAX6806US26-T has a factory-trimmed nominal reset threshold of 2.6V, with guaranteed accuracy of ±2% over temperature (2.548V to 2.652V at +25°C). This tolerance remains valid across the full –40°C to +85°C operating range, supported by a tempco of ≤30 ppm/°C.
Does the MAX6806US26-T support manual reset, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the MAX6806US26-T supports manual reset via its dedicated MR pin (Pin 4 in SOT143). The MR input is active-high with an internal 80kΩ pulldown resistor, allowing direct connection of a momentary switch between MR and VCC. When MR rises above 0.7×VCC, RESET is asserted low immediately - independent of VCC level.
What is the minimum supply voltage at which the MAX6806US26-T guarantees valid RESET output?
The MAX6806US26-T guarantees valid RESET output down to VCC = 1.0V. Specifically, RESET remains a logic-low (≤0.3V at 20µA sink) for VCC ≥ 1.0V, and transitions cleanly to logic-high (≥0.8×VCC) once VCC exceeds the 2.6V threshold plus hysteresis. Below 1.0V, RESET becomes high-impedance.
Can the MAX6806US26-T replace the MAX6326UR26-T in an existing design?
No direct replacement: while both offer 2.6V thresholds, the MAX6806US26-T uses a 4-pin SOT143 package with MR pin, whereas MAX6326UR26-T is a 3-pin SOT23 without MR. PCB layout, footprint, and firmware handling of manual reset would require revision. Electrical compatibility alone does not ensure drop-in substitution.
Is the RESET output of the MAX6806US26-T push-pull or open-drain?
The MAX6806US26-T features an active-low push-pull RESET output - meaning it actively drives both logic-low and logic-high states without requiring an external pullup resistor. This differs from the MAX6808 series (open-drain) and enables direct interfacing with standard µP reset inputs that expect driven high/low levels.
