Product details
Overview
MAX6808XR26+T 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 open-drain RESET output, and guaranteed operation down to VCC = 1.0V - enabling reliable brownout detection in battery-powered embedded controllers and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6808XR26+T datasheet, MAX6808XR26+T pinout, MAX6808XR26+T application, or MAX6808XR26+T equivalent, this device serves as a low-power (35µA typ), single-supply voltage supervisor with hysteresis, SC70-3 packaging, and immunity to fast VCC transients - critical for stable µP reset signaling in space-constrained, low-voltage designs.
Technical Context
The MAX6808XR26+T implements a precision bandgap-based voltage comparator with internal hysteresis (VHYST = 0.02–0.03 × VTH−) to prevent output chatter near the 2.6V threshold. Its open-drain RESET output requires an external pullup and supports interfacing with multiple supply domains up to 6V.
It operates across −40°C to +85°C with supply current stable from 1.0V to 5.5V VCC, and features built-in immunity to negative-going VCC transients ≤100mV overdrive for durations under 100µs - eliminating need for external filtering in noisy environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.60V ±2% (VCC falling); ensures reset assertion before system ICs drop below minimum operating voltage |
| Hysteresis | 0.02–0.03 × VTH−; prevents oscillation during slow-rising/falling VCC near threshold |
| Supply Current | 35µA typical at VCC = 3.6V; enables multi-year battery life in always-on monitoring |
| RESET Valid Down To | VCC = 1.0V (open-drain sink active); supports deep brownout detection in Li-ion and coin-cell systems |
| Operating Temp Range | −40°C to +85°C; qualified for industrial and portable equipment environments |
| VCC Absolute Max | 6.0V; allows safe operation with transient overshoot on 5V rails |
| Output Leakage (RESET) | 1µA max at VCC = 5.5V; minimizes pullup resistor power loss and signal loading |
Pinout & Package
MAX6808XR26+T is housed in a 3-pin SC70 package (outline 21-0075), measuring 2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.95mm, with moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1 and RoHS-compliant finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET | Active-low open-drain output; must be pulled up externally to define logic-high level and drive load |
| 2 | GND | Analog ground reference; requires low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| 3 | VCC | Power supply input; accepts 1.0V–5.5V; decoupling capacitor recommended within 1cm |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-trimmed 2.6V threshold | ±2% accuracy eliminates calibration components and reduces BOM count |
| Open-drain RESET output | Enables wired-OR reset buses and mixed-voltage system interfacing (e.g., 3.3V µP with 5V pullup) |
| 1.0V VCC operational floor | Guarantees valid reset assertion through full discharge of single-cell Li-ion (2.5–4.2V) and alkaline (0.9–1.5V/cell) batteries |
| 35µA supply current | Reduces quiescent power by >90% vs. discrete resistor-zener solutions, critical for energy harvesting nodes |
| Internal hysteresis | Prevents false resets during slow power-rail ramp-up or noise-induced threshold crossings |
Applications
| Portable Medical Sensors | Industrial PLC I/O Modules |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Wearable ECG patch monitoring battery voltage while sampling biopotentials. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Voltage detector asserting reset when Li-ion drops below 2.6V to halt analog front-end and preserve flash data integrity. Use Value: Prevents corrupted memory writes during brownout by triggering controlled shutdown before VCC falls below MCU's 1.8V core requirement. |
Use Scenario: DIN-rail mounted digital input module powered from 24VDC converted to 3.3V via buck regulator. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervisory IC monitoring post-regulation 3.3V rail to detect converter failure or overload collapse. Use Value: Provides sub-30µs reset assertion delay, ensuring deterministic fault response faster than watchdog timeout cycles. |
| Barcode Scanner Handhelds | Smart Energy Meters |
Use Scenario: Battery-operated laser scanner experiencing rapid VCC sag during motor activation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Immune voltage supervisor detecting true brownout (not transient) using hysteresis and 100µs transient rejection window.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3808G26DBVR | 2.6V threshold, push-pull active-low RESET, 1.4µA quiescent current, no hysteresis auto-enable | Lower IQ ideal for ultra-low-power wake-on-event systems; lacks transient immunity specs | Select when minimal current draw outweighs need for guaranteed transient rejection |
| ADM6315-26ARTZ-R7 | 2.63V threshold, open-drain active-low RESET, 12µA IQ, fixed 200ms reset timeout | Includes fixed delay; incompatible where immediate reset assertion is required (e.g., µP with no internal POR) | Choose only if system requires guaranteed minimum reset pulse width after VCC recovery |
Compared with TPS3808G26DBVR and ADM6315-26ARTZ-R7, the MAX6808XR26+T uniquely combines open-drain flexibility, 35µA IQ, ±2% threshold accuracy, and documented immunity to 100µs/100mV VCC transients - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained, and noise-prone embedded supervisors without timeout requirements.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6808XR26+T?
The MAX6808XR26+T has a factory-preset nominal reset threshold of 2.60V with ±2% accuracy over temperature (−40°C to +85°C). At +25°C, the guaranteed range is 2.548V to 2.652V for VCC falling, and hysteresis adds ~52mV to the rising threshold (VTH+).
Does the MAX6808XR26+T require an external pullup resistor on the RESET pin?
Yes, the MAX6808XR26+T features an open-drain RESET output and requires an external pullup resistor. A 100kΩ resistor to any supply up to 6V is sufficient for high-impedance loads; lower values (e.g., 10kΩ) may be used for faster rise times or higher capacitive loads.
Can the MAX6808XR26+T operate reliably below 1.8V VCC?
Yes - the MAX6808XR26+T is fully specified down to VCC = 1.0V. Its RESET output remains functional (sinking current) across this entire range, enabling brownout detection in single-cell alkaline, NiMH, or deeply discharged Li-ion systems where other supervisors fail.
How does the MAX6808XR26+T handle power-supply transients?
The MAX6808XR26+T is immune to short negative-going VCC transients: it will not assert reset for pulses ≤100µs duration when overdrive (VTH− − VCC) is ≤100mV. This eliminates need for additional RC filtering in electrically noisy environments like motor-driven portable equipment.
Is the MAX6808XR26+T pin-compatible with other packages in the MAX680x family?
No - the MAX6808XR26+T uses a 3-pin SC70 package. While the 8-pin µMAX and SO packages share pin compatibility with MC33064-series devices, the SC70 variant has unique pinout (RESET/GND/VCC) and is not interchangeable with SOT23, SOT143, or µMAX footprints without PCB redesign.
