Product details
Overview
MAX6808UR32 from Maxim Integrated is a precision voltage detector IC designed for reliable power-supply monitoring in microprocessor-based systems. It features a factory-preset 3.2V ±2% reset threshold, active-low open-drain RESET output, and guaranteed operation down to VCC = 1.0V - enabling robust brownout detection in battery-powered embedded controllers and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6808UR32 datasheet, MAX6808UR32 pinout, MAX6808UR32 application, or MAX6808UR32 equivalent, this device is selected for low-quiescent-current (35µA typical), transient-immune power monitoring where open-drain reset signaling is required to interface with bidirectional µP reset pins or multi-rail systems.
Technical Context
The MAX6808UR32 implements a precision bandgap-based voltage comparator with internal hysteresis (VHYST = 0.02–0.03 × VTH−) to prevent output chatter near the 3.20V falling threshold. Its open-drain RESET output requires an external pullup and supports voltage translation up to 6.0V, making it suitable for interfacing across mixed-supply domains.
It operates over −40°C to +85°C with supply current stable from 1.0V to 5.5V VCC, and exhibits 30ppm/°C reset-threshold temperature coefficient. The SOT23-3 package has no manual reset input - that feature is exclusive to the 4-pin SOT143 variant.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 3.20V ±2% (VTH− at +25°C); ensures reset assertion before system ICs drop below minimum operating voltage |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.0V to 5.5V; enables valid reset signaling even during deep brownout or ultra-low-power wake-up |
| Quiescent Current | 35µA typical at VCC = 3.6V; minimizes battery drain in always-on monitoring applications |
| RESET Output Type | Active-low open-drain; allows wired-OR configuration and level-shifting with external pullup to any rail ≤6V |
| Hysteresis | 0.02–0.03 × VTH−; prevents oscillation during slow-rising/falling VCC transitions near threshold |
| Reset Delay | 30µs typical (VCC falling at 1mV/µs); provides deterministic timing margin for power sequencing |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +85°C; qualified for industrial and portable equipment environments |
Pinout & Package
MAX6808UR32 is supplied in a 3-pin SOT23 package (U3-1 outline), with pin 1 = RESET (active-low open-drain), pin 2 = GND, pin 3 = VCC. No manual reset (MR) or NC pins are present in this variant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (RESET) | Open-drain output | Sinks current when VCC < 3.20V; requires external pullup for logic-high state; compatible with bidirectional µP reset I/O |
| 2 (GND) | Ground reference | Return path for internal circuitry and RESET sink current; must be low-impedance to ensure accurate threshold sensing |
| 3 (VCC) | Supply input | Monitored power rail; device asserts reset if this voltage falls below 3.20V ±2%; functional down to 1.0V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ±2% accurate reset threshold | Guarantees reset assertion before 3.3V-system ICs fall below 3.0V minimum operating voltage |
| Open-drain RESET output | Enables safe interface with bidirectional µP reset pins (e.g., Motorola 68HC11) without contention |
| 35µA supply current | Extends battery life in portable scanners and handheld instruments requiring continuous monitoring |
| VCC = 1.0V reset validity | Maintains deterministic reset state during deep discharge or low-VCC wake-up sequences |
| Immunity to VCC transients | Rejects negative-going spikes ≤100mV overdrive for durations under 10µs - reduces false resets |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6808UR26-T | 2.6V ±2% reset threshold; identical SOT23-3 package and open-drain output | Targeted for 2.5V/2.7V systems instead of 3.3V rails; same quiescent current and temp range | Select when monitoring lower-voltage supplies where 3.2V threshold would assert prematurely |
| MAX6315US32D3-T | 3.2V ±1.5% threshold; 3-pin SOT143 with manual reset (MR) input; 1.5µA max ICC | Supports operator-initiated reset via MR pin; optimized for ultra-low-power applications | Choose when system requires both voltage monitoring and hardware-triggered reset capability |
Compared with MAX6808UR32, the MAX6808UR26-T offers identical functionality at a lower threshold for 2.5V systems, while the MAX6315US32D3-T adds manual reset and lower supply current but uses a different package and lacks SOT23 compatibility.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6808UR32?
The MAX6808UR32 has a factory-trimmed nominal reset threshold of 3.20V with ±2% accuracy over temperature (−40°C to +85°C). At +25°C, the specified range is 3.136V to 3.264V for VCC falling. This threshold ensures reset assertion before 3.3V-system ICs fall below their 3.0V minimum operating voltage.
Does the MAX6808UR32 support manual reset functionality?
No, the MAX6808UR32 does not support manual reset. Manual reset (MR) is only available on the 4-pin SOT143 package variants (e.g., MAX6808US32-T). The MAX6808UR32 uses a 3-pin SOT23 package with RESET, GND, and VCC only - no MR pin is present or internally connected.
What pullup resistor value is recommended for the MAX6808UR32's open-drain RESET output?
A 100kΩ pullup resistor is recommended for the MAX6808UR32 RESET output when driving high-impedance loads. This value ensures a solid logic high while limiting sink current to <10µA at 3.3V, preserving low system power consumption. For heavier loads or faster rise times, values as low as 10kΩ may be used, provided the sink current remains within the 20µA spec.
Can the MAX6808UR32 operate reliably below 1.8V supply voltage?
Yes, the MAX6808UR32 is fully specified down to VCC = 1.0V. Its RESET output remains valid (logic low) for VCC ≥ 1.0V, and supply current stays stable (35µA typ.) even at 1.0V. This makes the MAX6808UR32 suitable for ultra-low-voltage brownout detection in energy-harvesting or coin-cell applications.
Is the MAX6808UR32 pin-compatible with other MAX680x series devices in SOT23-3?
Yes, all MAX6806/MAX6807/MAX6808 variants in the 3-pin SOT23 package (e.g., MAX6806UR32-T, MAX6807UR32-T, MAX6808UR32-T) share identical pinout: pin 1 = RESET, pin 2 = GND, pin 3 = VCC. However, output polarity and type differ - only the MAX6808UR32 provides active-low open-drain; others use push-pull outputs.
