Product details
Overview
MAX6808XR32-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 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 instrumentation and portable controllers.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6808XR32-T datasheet, MAX6808XR32-T pinout, MAX6808XR32-T application, or MAX6808XR32-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.2V threshold accuracy, SC70-3 package footprint, 35µA supply current, open-drain output compatibility with bidirectional µP reset pins, and immunity to sub-100µs negative VCC transients.
Technical Context
The MAX6808XR32-T 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 ramp-up and brownout conditions. Its open-drain RESET output requires an external pullup and supports interface to multiple supply domains up to 6V.
It operates across −40°C to +85°C with supply current of 35µA (typ) at VCC = 3.6V and 50µA (typ) at VCC = 5.5V. The device asserts RESET when VCC falls below 3.136V (min) and deasserts only after VCC rises above ~3.16–3.19V due to hysteresis - critical for noise-immune power sequencing in embedded controllers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 3.20V ±2% (3.136V–3.264V at +25°C); ensures reliable detection 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 low-battery shutdown. |
| Supply Current | 35µA typical at 3.6V; minimizes quiescent load in always-on monitoring circuits. |
| RESET Output Type | Active-low open-drain; allows wired-OR configuration and safe interfacing with bidirectional µP reset I/O pins. |
| Hysteresis | 0.02–0.03 × VTH− (~63–98mV at 3.2V); prevents output chatter near threshold during noisy or slow-ramping supplies. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C; qualified for industrial and portable equipment environments without derating. |
| Package | 3-pin SC70 (X3-2 outline); 1.25mm × 0.85mm footprint ideal for space-constrained portable designs. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6808XR32-T is housed in a 3-pin SC70 package (outline 21-0075, land pattern 90-0208), with pin 1 = RESET (active-low open-drain), pin 2 = GND, pin 3 = VCC. No manual reset (MR) or NC pins - consistent with 3-pin SOT23/SC70 variants.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET | Active-low open-drain output; must be pulled up externally (e.g., 100kΩ) to any supply ≤6V; sinks current during reset assertion. |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference for internal comparator and bandgap; connects to system ground plane for noise immunity. |
| 3 | VCC | Supply input; accepts 1.0V–5.5V; powers internal circuitry and defines reset threshold reference point. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision 3.2V threshold | ±2% accuracy over temperature ensures deterministic reset timing across −40°C to +85°C without calibration. |
| Open-drain RESET output | Enables direct interface to bidirectional µP reset pins (e.g., Motorola 68HC11) without contention or level-shifting. |
| Low 35µA supply current | Extends battery life in portable equipment by minimizing standby power draw during continuous monitoring. |
| Immunity to fast VCC transients | Rejects negative-going transients <100µs wide (e.g., 50mV overdrive), eliminating false resets in electrically noisy environments. |
| Valid RESET down to 1.0V VCC | Guarantees logic-low output even as supply collapses - critical for orderly shutdown sequencing in low-voltage systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage detector applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV803EB32DBZR | 3.2V ±1% threshold, push-pull active-low output, 0.9V min VCC, 2.5µA ICC | Lacks open-drain output; incompatible with bidirectional µP reset pins; better for ultra-low-power but simpler interfaces. | Select TLV803EB32DBZR only when push-pull drive suffices and sub-5µA supply current is mandatory. |
| TPS3808G32DBVR | 3.2V ±0.5% threshold, push-pull active-low output, 0.8V min VCC, 16µA ICC, programmable delay | Includes 200ms reset timeout; no open-drain option; higher accuracy but fixed delay adds latency. | Choose TPS3808G32DBVR when deterministic reset pulse width is required and open-drain is unnecessary. |
Compared with TLV803EB32DBZR and TPS3808G32DBVR, the MAX6808XR32-T uniquely provides open-drain output for bidirectional bus compatibility, guaranteed 1.0V operation, and industry-standard SC70-3 footprint - making it optimal for legacy µP interfaces and space-constrained portable designs where reset timing must be immediate and chatter-free.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6808XR32-T?
The MAX6808XR32-T has a factory-trimmed nominal reset threshold of 3.20V with ±2% accuracy over temperature, corresponding to a guaranteed range of 3.136V (min) to 3.264V (max) at +25°C. This value is specified for VCC falling and includes built-in hysteresis to prevent oscillation near the trip point. The MAX6808XR32-T datasheet confirms this threshold applies specifically to the XR32 variant in SC70 packaging.
Does the MAX6808XR32-T support manual reset functionality?
No, the MAX6808XR32-T does not support manual reset. Manual reset (MR) is only available on the 4-pin SOT143 package variants (e.g., MAX6808US32-T), which include a dedicated MR pin with internal 80kΩ pulldown. The MAX6808XR32-T uses a 3-pin SC70 package with only RESET, GND, and VCC pins - confirmed by its pin configuration diagram and ordering guide.
What external components are required for proper operation of the MAX6808XR32-T?
The MAX6808XR32-T requires only one external component: a pullup resistor on the open-drain RESET pin. A 100kΩ resistor to any supply ≤6V is recommended for high-impedance loads. No capacitors, dividers, or trimming components are needed - the device integrates precision reference, comparator, and hysteresis. This simplicity is explicitly stated in the MAX6808XR32-T general description and applications information.
Can the MAX6808XR32-T interface directly with a bidirectional microprocessor reset pin?
Yes, the MAX6808XR32-T is specifically designed for this use case. Its active-low open-drain RESET output avoids contention with bidirectional µP reset I/O (e.g., Motorola 68HC11), unlike push-pull alternatives. The MAX6808XR32-T datasheet explicitly recommends it for such interfaces in Figure 5 and the Applications Information section.
What is the minimum supply voltage at which the MAX6808XR32-T guarantees valid RESET output?
The MAX6808XR32-T guarantees valid RESET output down to VCC = 1.0V. Below this, the output becomes high-impedance. This specification is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table and General Description, and applies specifically to the MAX6808XR32-T (and all MAX6808 variants), distinguishing it from the MAX6807 (1.2V min) and supporting deep-brownout detection in low-voltage systems.
