Product details
Overview
MAX6806XR26+T from Maxim Integrated is a precision voltage detector IC designed for reliable 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 robust brownout detection in battery-powered instrumentation and portable controllers.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6806XR26+T datasheet, MAX6806XR26+T pinout, MAX6806XR26+T application, or MAX6806XR26+T equivalent, key selection criteria include reset accuracy over temperature, low supply current (35µA typical), manual-reset compatibility (in SOT143 variant), immunity to fast VCC transients, and SC70 package suitability for space-constrained embedded designs.
Technical Context
The MAX6806XR26+T implements a precision bandgap-based voltage reference and comparator with internal hysteresis (VHYST = 0.02–0.03 × VTH−) to prevent output chatter near the 2.6V threshold. Its push-pull output drives CMOS logic directly without external pull-up components.
It operates across −40°C to +85°C with supply current stable from 1.0V to 5.5V VCC, and asserts RESET within 30µs of VCC falling below threshold. The SC70-3 package places RESET, GND, and VCC on pins 1, 2, and 3 respectively - matching industry-standard pinout conventions for 3-pin voltage monitors.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.60V ±2% (VTH− at +25°C); ensures reliable assertion before system ICs drop below minimum operating voltage |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.0V to 5.5V; supports operation during deep brownout and full-system power-up sequencing |
| 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 pull-up resistor and interfaces directly with µP reset inputs |
| Hysteresis | 0.02–0.03 × VTH−; prevents oscillation during slow-rising/falling VCC transitions near threshold |
| Reset Delay | 30µs max (VCC falling at 1mV/µs); provides deterministic timing for synchronous system recovery |
| Tempco | 30ppm/°C; maintains threshold stability across industrial temperature range |
Pinout & Package
MAX6806XR26+T is housed in a 3-pin SC70 package (outline 21-0075), with 0.65mm pitch, 1.25mm × 0.85mm footprint, and tape-and-reel delivery (2500 pcs minimum). This ultra-compact package supports high-density PCB layouts in handheld and IoT edge devices.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET (active-low) | Push-pull output asserted low when VCC < 2.6V; sinks up to 1mA and sources up to 2mA |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference for internal comparator and output stage; must be low-impedance connection |
| 3 | VCC | Supply input monitored by internal reference; valid from 1.0V to 5.5V; accepts transient rates up to 100V/µs |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ±2% threshold accuracy over temperature | Guarantees reset assertion before 3.3V or 2.5V system ICs exit specification - no calibration required |
| 35µA supply current | Reduces quiescent power in always-on monitoring paths; enables use in energy-harvesting nodes |
| RESET valid to VCC = 1.0V | Ensures clean reset signal throughout full power collapse - critical for nonvolatile memory write protection |
| Immunity to negative VCC transients | Withstands sub-100ns glitches down to 200mV below threshold without false triggering |
| No external components required | Eliminates BOM cost and layout area for resistors, capacitors, or trimming networks |
Applications

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%), 1.8–6V VCC range, 350nA IQ, open-drain output | Lower IQ suits ultra-low-power wake-up circuits; open-drain requires pull-up and cannot drive heavy loads directly | Select when minimizing standby current is critical and system reset input accepts open-drain signaling |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.08V threshold (±0.5%), 1.8–6.5V VCC, 1.1µA IQ, active-low push-pull, programmable delay | Higher threshold and integrated delay block suit 3.3V systems requiring timed reset hold-off | Select when 3.3V rail supervision is needed with configurable delay and tighter threshold tolerance |
Compared with TLV803EB26DBZR and TPS3808G33DBVR, the MAX6806XR26+T offers optimal balance of 2.6V threshold alignment, push-pull drive strength, and proven industrial temperature reliability - making it preferred for battery-powered µC systems where direct interface and brownout margin are prioritized over ultra-low IQ or programmability.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6806XR26+T?
The MAX6806XR26+T has a factory-preset nominal reset threshold of 2.60V with ±2% accuracy over temperature (2.548V to 2.652V at +25°C). This value is guaranteed across the full −40°C to +85°C operating range, with a tempco of 30ppm/°C ensuring predictable drift in thermal cycling environments.
Does the MAX6806XR26+T support manual reset functionality?
No - the MAX6806XR26+T uses the 3-pin SC70 package, which does not include a manual reset (MR) pin. Manual reset is only available on the 4-pin SOT143 variant (e.g., MAX6806US26-T). The MAX6806XR26+T relies solely on VCC monitoring for automatic reset assertion and release.
What is the minimum supply voltage at which the MAX6806XR26+T guarantees valid RESET output?
The MAX6806XR26+T guarantees valid active-low RESET output down to VCC = 1.0V. Below this, the output becomes high-impedance. This ensures reliable reset assertion during deep brownout conditions common in battery-powered applications before system logic fails.
Can the MAX6806XR26+T be used with a 1.8V microcontroller supply rail?
Yes - the MAX6806XR26+T operates from VCC = 1.0V to 5.5V and asserts RESET when its 2.6V threshold is violated. While it monitors a higher rail (e.g., 3.3V or main battery), its output is compatible with 1.8V logic inputs due to push-pull structure and VOL ≤ 0.3V at ISINK = 20µA, ensuring solid low-level signaling.
What package type and pin count does the MAX6806XR26+T use?
The MAX6806XR26+T uses a 3-pin SC70 package (outline 21-0075), with pin 1 = RESET (active-low), pin 2 = GND, and pin 3 = VCC. It is supplied in tape-and-reel format with a minimum order quantity of 2500 units - optimized for automated SMT assembly in compact consumer and industrial electronics.
