Product details
Overview
MAX6806XR26 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 guaranteed operation down to VCC = 1.0V - enabling reliable brownout detection in battery-powered embedded controllers and intelligent instruments.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6806XR26 datasheet, MAX6806XR26 pinout, MAX6806XR26 application, or MAX6806XR26 equivalent, this device serves as a low-quiescent-current (35µA), hysteresis-equipped supervisory circuit for critical µP power monitoring where supply stability, manual-reset capability (in SOT143), and transient immunity are required.
Technical Context
The MAX6806XR26 implements a comparator-based reset architecture with internal hysteresis (VHYST = 0.02–0.03 × VTH−), ensuring stable switching during supply ramp-up/down without oscillation. Its reset assertion is purely voltage-triggered - no timeout delay - with immediate response to VCC crossing the falling threshold (VTH− = 2.548V to 2.652V at +25°C).
It operates across −40°C to +85°C, supports VCC from 1.0V to 5.5V, and delivers RESET logic levels compatible with CMOS inputs: VOL ≤ 0.3V at ISINK = 20µA/VCC = 1.0V and VOH ≥ 0.8×VCC at ISOURCE = 2.0mA/VCC = 5.0V. The SC70-3 package enables space-constrained portable designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.60V ±2% (VTH−); ensures reset asserts before system ICs drop below minimum operating voltage |
| 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 external pullup |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.0V to 5.5V; valid reset assertion down to 1.0V supports deep brownout detection |
| Hysteresis | 0.02–0.03 × VTH−; prevents chatter near threshold during slow-ramping supplies |
| Tempco | 30ppm/°C; maintains threshold accuracy over full industrial temperature range |
| Transient Immunity | Immune to negative-going VCC transients ≤100µs at 100mV overdrive; reduces false resets |
Pinout & Package
MAX6806XR26 is housed in a 3-pin SC70 package (outline 21-0075), footprint-compatible with SOT23 but 30% smaller. Pin 1 = RESET (active-low push-pull), Pin 2 = GND, Pin 3 = VCC.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET | Active-low push-pull output; sinks current when VCC < VTH−; valid down to VCC = 1.0V |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference for internal comparator and output stage; must be low-impedance |
| 3 | VCC | Supply input; powers internal circuitry and defines reset threshold reference |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision Reset Threshold | 2.6V ±2% over −40°C to +85°C - eliminates need for external trimming or calibration |
| No External Components | Self-contained detector - no resistors, capacitors, or references required for basic operation |
| Low Supply Current | 35µA typical - extends battery life in portable/bar-code scanner applications |
| Push-Pull Output Drive | Direct CMOS compatibility - no pullup resistor needed, reducing BOM count and board area |
| SC70-3 Miniature Package | 1.25mm × 0.85mm footprint - ideal for space-constrained handheld and wearable devices |
Applications
| Portable/Battery-Powered Equipment | Bar-Code Scanners |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Power management in handheld scanners with single-cell Li-ion or alkaline batteries. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Voltage supervisor detecting brownout before MCU lockup during battery discharge.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision reset generator ensuring deterministic boot sequence after battery insertion or wake-up. Use Value: 35µA quiescent current minimizes standby drain; SC70-3 package fits tight PCB layouts. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary supervisory IC validating VCC before enabling ADC, display, and communication peripherals. Use Value: Guaranteed RESET validity down to VCC = 1.0V allows graceful shutdown sequencing before complete power loss. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage detector applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6315US26D3-T | Same 2.6V threshold, ±1.5% accuracy, 1.8µA supply current, SOT143-4 with MR input | Lower ICC enables ultra-low-power applications; MR pin adds user-initiated reset capability | Select when manual reset or <10µA ICC is required - not pin-compatible with SC70-3 |
| TLV803EB26DBZR | 2.63V threshold, ±2.5% accuracy, 0.5µA ICC, SOT23-3, open-drain output | Ultra-low ICC suits energy-harvesting systems; open-drain requires external pullup | Select for micropower designs where push-pull drive is not mandatory - different output topology |
Compared with MAX6806XR26, MAX6315US26D3-T offers tighter threshold accuracy and MR functionality in SOT143 but lacks SC70-3 packaging; TLV803EB26DBZR provides 70× lower ICC but requires external pullup and has looser tolerance - trade-offs exist in accuracy, power, and interface compatibility.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6806XR26 and how tightly is it specified?
The MAX6806XR26 has a factory-trimmed nominal reset threshold of 2.60V, guaranteed over temperature and process to ±2% (2.548V to 2.652V at +25°C). This accuracy is maintained across the full −40°C to +85°C operating range with a tempco of only 30ppm/°C, making it suitable for systems using 2.5V ±5% or 3.3V ±10% supplies.
Does MAX6806XR26 support manual reset functionality?
No, MAX6806XR26 does not support manual reset. It is packaged in SC70-3, which contains only RESET, GND, and VCC pins. Manual reset (MR) is available only on the 4-pin SOT143 variants (e.g., MAX6806US26-T), which include an internal 80kΩ pulldown resistor on the MR input.
What is the minimum VCC voltage at which MAX6806XR26 guarantees valid RESET output?
MAX6806XR26 guarantees valid RESET output down to VCC = 1.0V. Specifically, the RESET pin remains a logic low (VOL ≤ 0.3V) when sinking 20µA at VCC = 1.0V. Below 1.0V, the output becomes high-impedance - a design consideration for systems requiring reset assertion all the way to ground.
Can MAX6806XR26 be used with microcontrollers that have bidirectional reset pins?
MAX6806XR26 is not recommended for direct interfacing with µPs having bidirectional reset I/O (e.g., Motorola 68HC11), because its push-pull output can cause contention. For such applications, use MAX6808XR26-T instead - its open-drain RESET output avoids conflict when the µP drives the line high during normal operation.
What package type and footprint does MAX6806XR26 use, and is it RoHS-compliant?
MAX6806XR26 uses the 3-pin SC70 package (outline 21-0075), measuring 1.25mm × 0.85mm with 0.65mm lead pitch. It is RoHS-compliant and supplied in tape-and-reel format (2500-piece minimum order quantity). The top mark "AAB" identifies the 2.6V variant in SC70.
