Product details
Overview
MAX6808XR26+ 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 open-drain RESET output, and guaranteed operation down to VCC = 1.0V - enabling robust brownout detection in battery-powered instrumentation and portable equipment.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6808XR26+ datasheet, MAX6808XR26+ pinout, MAX6808XR26+ application, or MAX6808XR26+ equivalent, key selection considerations include its open-drain output architecture for bidirectional µP reset interfaces, low 35µA supply current, and SC70-3 package compatibility with space-constrained embedded designs.
Technical Context
The MAX6808XR26+ implements a precision bandgap-based voltage reference and comparator with internal hysteresis (VHYST = 0.02–0.03 × VTH−), ensuring stable reset assertion/deassertion during supply transients. Its open-drain RESET output requires an external pullup and supports interfacing to multiple supply domains up to 6V.
It operates across −40°C to +85°C with supply voltage range 1.2V to 5.5V (TA = −40°C to +85°C), exhibits 30ppm/°C reset threshold tempco, and tolerates VCC negative transients up to 100µs at 100mV overdrive without false triggering.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.60V ±2% (VTH− at +25°C); ensures accurate detection of 2.5V system supply undervoltage before IC functional failure. |
| Supply Current | 35µA typical at VCC = 3.6V; enables multi-year battery life in always-on portable monitoring devices. |
| RESET Valid Down To | VCC = 1.0V; guarantees valid reset signal during deep brownout or battery discharge below 1.2V. |
| Output Type | Active-low open-drain; allows wired-OR configuration, level-shifting, and safe interfacing with bidirectional µP reset pins. |
| Hysteresis | 0.02–0.03 × VTH−; prevents output chatter near threshold during slow-rising/falling VCC (e.g., power-up sequencing). |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +85°C; qualified for industrial and extended-temperature embedded control applications. |
| Package | 3-pin SC70 (X3-2 outline); 1.25mm × 0.85mm footprint ideal for compact handheld and sensor-node PCBs. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6808XR26+ is housed in a 3-pin SC70 package (outline X3-2) with exposed pad not connected internally. Pin 1 = RESET (active-low open-drain), Pin 2 = GND, Pin 3 = VCC. No manual reset (MR) or NC pins - simplified layout versus SOT143/µMAX variants.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (RESET) | Active-low open-drain output | Sinks current when VCC < 2.6V; requires external pullup to define logic-high level and drive load capacitance. |
| 2 (GND) | Ground reference | Return path for internal bias and RESET sink current; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane. |
| 3 (VCC) | Supply voltage input | Power source for internal circuitry; accepts 1.2V–5.5V; decoupling capacitor required per layout guidelines. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ±2% threshold accuracy | Guarantees reset assertion before downstream 2.5V/3V ICs exit specification - no calibration or trimming needed. |
| Open-drain RESET | Enables direct interface to µPs with bidirectional reset I/O (e.g., Motorola 68HC11), avoiding bus contention. |
| 1.0V VCC minimum | Supports full reset functionality during battery discharge down to 1.0V, critical for data retention in low-power shutdown. |
| 35µA supply current | Reduces quiescent power in always-on supervisory circuits - extends runtime in coin-cell–powered bar-code scanners. |
| Immunity to VCC transients | Rejects negative-going supply glitches ≤100µs at 100mV overdrive, eliminating false resets in noisy industrial environments. |
Applications
| Portable Battery-Powered Equipment | Intelligent Instruments |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Handheld multimeter operating from single 3.0V lithium coin cell with gradual voltage decay. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Voltage detector asserting reset before ADC reference or display controller fails due to undervoltage. Use Value: Prevents corrupted measurements by forcing controlled shutdown at precisely 2.6V, leveraging ±2% threshold tolerance. |
Use Scenario: Benchtop oscilloscope with FPGA-based acquisition engine requiring clean power-on reset sequence. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary supervisor generating reset pulse synchronized to 3.3V rail stabilization. Use Value: Open-drain output allows shared reset bus with other supervisors and avoids contention on bidirectional FPGA reset pin. |
| Critical µP and µC Power Monitoring | Bar-Code Scanners |
|
Use Scenario: Industrial PLC controller using ARM Cortex-M4 with strict 2.5V ±5% supply requirement. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standalone reset generator ensuring µC remains held in reset until 2.6V rail is fully regulated. Use Value: 30µs delay at VCC fall ensures reset persists through brief dips, while hysteresis prevents chatter near threshold. |
Use Scenario: Wireless barcode scanner with Bluetooth LE module and laser driver sharing 3.3V LDO. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-quiescent monitor enabling >1000 scan cycles per charge via 35µA sleep current. Use Value: SC70-3 footprint minimizes board area in ultra-thin ergonomic housing without sacrificing supervision reliability. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage detector applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6806XR26+ | Active-low push-pull RESET output; no external pullup required; RESET valid to VCC = 1.0V. | Better suited for simple µP reset where bus sharing or level translation is unnecessary. | Select when minimizing external components and driving standard CMOS inputs directly. |
| TLV803DBZT | 2.63V threshold, ±1.5% accuracy, SOT23-3, push-pull active-low RESET, 1.8V–6V VCC range. | Lacks transient immunity specs and hysteresis documentation; lower max VCC rating than MAX6808XR26+. | Choose for cost-sensitive consumer designs where tighter threshold tolerance offsets reduced noise immunity. |
Compared with MAX6806XR26+, MAX6808XR26+ provides open-drain flexibility for multi-voltage systems but requires a pullup resistor; compared with TLV803DBZT, it offers superior documented transient rejection and hysteresis control at the expense of slightly higher unit cost and less aggressive threshold tolerance.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6808XR26+?
The MAX6808XR26+ has a factory-trimmed nominal reset threshold of 2.60V with ±2% accuracy over temperature (2.548V to 2.652V at +25°C). This value is specified as VTH− (falling VCC) and includes built-in hysteresis to prevent oscillation near the trip point.
Why does the MAX6808XR26+ use an open-drain output instead of push-pull?
The MAX6808XR26+ uses an open-drain RESET output to enable wired-OR configurations, level shifting across different supply domains (up to 6V), and safe interfacing with microprocessors that have bidirectional reset I/O pins - avoiding bus contention that would occur with push-pull drivers like those in MAX6806XR26+.
Can the MAX6808XR26+ operate with a 1.8V supply?
Yes, the MAX6808XR26+ operates with VCC as low as 1.2V over the full −40°C to +85°C temperature range. At 1.8V, it maintains full functionality including accurate 2.6V threshold detection, 35µA supply current, and valid open-drain RESET assertion - making it suitable for modern low-voltage embedded systems.
What package type is used for the MAX6808XR26+ and what are its dimensions?
The MAX6808XR26+ uses a 3-pin SC70 package (outline X3-2), measuring 1.25mm × 0.85mm with 0.65mm pitch. This ultra-small footprint is optimized for space-constrained PCBs in portable and handheld electronics, and is supplied in tape-and-reel format with 2500-piece minimum order quantity.
Does the MAX6808XR26+ include a manual reset input?
No, the MAX6808XR26+ does not include a manual reset (MR) input. MR is only available on the 4-pin SOT143 variants (e.g., MAX6808US26-T). The SC70-3 package contains only RESET, GND, and VCC pins - simplifying layout and reducing bill-of-materials for applications where manual reset is not required.
