Product details
Overview
MAX6807SA46 from Maxim Integrated is an active-high, push-pull voltage detector IC designed for precise power-supply monitoring in microprocessor-based systems. It asserts a logic-high RESET signal when VCC falls below 4.6V (±2% accuracy), guarantees valid output down to VCC = 1.2V, draws only 35µA supply current, and operates across –40°C to +85°C - ideal for critical µP power monitoring in portable equipment and intelligent instruments.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6807SA46 datasheet, MAX6807SA46 pinout, MAX6807SA46 application, or MAX6807SA46 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical behavior, package-specific terminal mapping, real-world use cases, and validated alternative options for reset supervision in battery-powered and industrial embedded designs.
Technical Context
The MAX6807SA46 implements a precision bandgap-based voltage reference with internal hysteresis (20–30mV) to prevent output oscillation during supply transients near the 4.6V threshold. Its active-high push-pull output drives directly into CMOS inputs without external pull-up components.
It features immunity to negative-going VCC transients up to 100µs at 50mV overdrive and supports manual reset only in SOT143 packages - not applicable to the SO-8 variant. The SO-8 footprint (8-pin SO) matches MC33064/MC34064 family layouts for drop-in compatibility in legacy supervisory designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.6V ±2% (VTH−), ensuring reliable assertion before 5V system ICs drop below minimum operating voltage |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.2V to 5.5V - enables operation during brownout recovery and full-system power sequencing |
| Supply Current | 35µA typical at 3.6V - minimizes quiescent load on battery or low-power rails |
| Output Type | Active-high, push-pull - eliminates need for external pull-up and ensures fast, low-impedance logic-high drive |
| Reset Delay | 30µs typical (VCC falling at 1mV/µs) - provides deterministic timing for µP initialization |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and extended-temperature embedded applications |
| Threshold Tempco | 30ppm/°C - maintains accuracy across temperature without calibration |
Pinout & Package
MAX6807SA46 is housed in an 8-pin SO (Small Outline) package with standard 1.27mm pitch, RoHS-compliant, and pin-compatible with MC33064/MC34064 supervisory circuits.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET | Active-high push-pull output - drives high when VCC ≥ 4.6V, low when VCC < 4.6V |
| 2 | VCC | Positive supply input - powers internal reference and output stage; valid from 1.2V to 5.5V |
| 3–4, 6–8 | N.C. | No internal connection - must be left unconnected; no routing or termination required |
| 5 | GND | Ground reference - return path for supply and output current; requires low-impedance PCB connection |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ±2% accurate 4.6V threshold | Guarantees reset assertion before 5V ±5% supplies fall outside regulation limits, protecting downstream logic |
| Active-high push-pull output | Drives high-impedance CMOS inputs directly without pull-up resistors, reducing BOM count and board space |
| 35µA supply current | Enables long battery life in portable scanners and handheld instruments without sacrificing supervision reliability |
| Internal hysteresis (20–30mV) | Prevents chatter during slow-rising/falling VCC transitions near threshold, eliminating false resets |
| Immunity to VCC transients | Rejects negative-going spikes ≤100µs at 50mV overdrive - avoids spurious resets in noisy power environments |
Applications
| Bar-Code Scanners | Portable/Battery-Powered Equipment |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage detection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6806SA46 | Active-low push-pull output; RESET valid down to VCC = 1.0V (vs. 1.2V for MAX6807SA46) | Requires inverted logic handling at µP reset input; suitable where active-low reset is natively supported | Select when system design uses active-low reset architecture and lower VCC validity is needed |
| MC34064P-4G | 4.6V threshold, active-low open-drain output; higher 80µA supply current; no hysteresis spec listed | Requires external pull-up resistor; less transient immunity; wider tempco (50ppm/°C) | Choose for legacy SO-8 footprint compatibility where cost sensitivity outweighs accuracy and quiescent current demands |
Compared with MAX6806SA46 and MC34064P-4G, the MAX6807SA46 offers superior threshold accuracy (±2% vs. ±3%), lower quiescent current (35µA vs. 80µA), and guaranteed active-high push-pull drive - simplifying interface design and improving power efficiency in modern µP systems.

FAQ
What is the reset threshold voltage of MAX6807SA46?
The MAX6807SA46 has a factory-preset nominal reset threshold of 4.6V with ±2% accuracy over temperature. This means the actual trip point falls between 4.508V and 4.692V at +25°C, and remains stable across –40°C to +85°C with a tempco of 30ppm/°C. The threshold is defined on the falling edge of VCC (VTH−), and internal hysteresis ensures clean switching without chatter.
Does MAX6807SA46 support manual reset functionality?
No, MAX6807SA46 does not support manual reset. Manual reset (MR) is only available on the 4-pin SOT143 variants (e.g., MAX6807US46-T), which include a dedicated MR pin with internal 80kΩ pulldown. The MAX6807SA46 is an 8-pin SO package with pins 1–5 and 6–8 assigned to RESET, VCC, GND, and N.C. - no MR terminal is present or functional.
What is the minimum VCC required for MAX6807SA46 to guarantee valid RESET output?
MAX6807SA46 guarantees valid RESET output down to VCC = 1.2V. Below this voltage, the push-pull output may not maintain proper logic levels. This specification ensures reliable reset assertion during brownout conditions common in battery-powered systems, where VCC can sag temporarily but remain above 1.2V before full shutdown.
Is MAX6807SA46 pin-compatible with older supervisory ICs?
Yes, MAX6807SA46 in the 8-pin SO package is pin-compatible with MC33064, MC33164, MC34064, and MC34164. Pin 1 is RESET, pin 2 is VCC, pin 5 is GND, and pins 3, 4, 6–8 are N.C. - matching the same pinout and footprint. This allows direct replacement in existing designs without PCB changes.
What is the supply current consumption of MAX6807SA46 under typical operating conditions?
MAX6807SA46 draws 35µA typical supply current at VCC = 3.6V and room temperature. At VCC = 5.5V, typical current rises to 50µA, with a maximum of 80µA across temperature and voltage extremes. This ultra-low quiescent current makes it suitable for always-on supervision in portable and energy-sensitive applications.
