Product details
Overview
MAX6832VXRD3 from Maxim Integrated is a low-voltage microprocessor supervisory circuit in SC70-3 package, featuring 1.575V factory-set reset threshold, 1.5ms active timeout period (D1 suffix), push-pull active-low RESET output, and 7.5µA typical supply current. It monitors +1.2V to +1.8V supplies in portable µP systems, asserting reset during power-up, brownout, or manual reset events.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6832VXRD3 datasheet, MAX6832VXRD3 pinout, MAX6832VXRD3 application, or MAX6832VXRD3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its fixed 1.575V threshold, guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 0.55V, immunity to short VCC transients, and compatibility with space-constrained battery-powered designs.
Technical Context
The MAX6832VXRD3 implements a precision voltage comparator with ±2.5% threshold accuracy over –40°C to +85°C, internally referenced to a stable 444mV bandgap. Its reset logic includes a fixed 1.5ms timeout counter triggered by VCC falling below 1.575V or MR assertion.
No manual reset input (MR) is present on the MAX6832VXRD3 - it belongs to the MAX6832/MAX6835/MAX6838 group with push-pull active-low RESET but no MR pin. The device operates across VCC = 0.55V to 3.6V and guarantees valid RESET output down to VCC = 0.55V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 1.575V ±2.5% - ensures reliable reset assertion for 1.6V nominal core supplies |
| Reset Timeout Period | 1.5ms - provides sufficient hold time for µP initialization after VCC recovery |
| Supply Current | 7.5µA (typ) at 1.2V - enables multi-year battery life in always-on monitoring applications |
| Reset Output Type | Push-pull active-low - drives RESET directly without external pullup, compatible with standard CMOS inputs |
| Operating Voltage Range | 0.55V to 3.6V - supports operation during deep brownout and full-system power sequencing |
| Reset Validity Limit | VCC ≥ 0.55V - guarantees defined logic state on RESET pin down to near-zero supply |
| Package | SC70-3 - 1.25mm × 0.85mm footprint ideal for ultra-compact portable PCBs |
Pinout & Package
MAX6832VXRD3 is housed in a 3-pin SC70 package (1.25mm × 0.85mm, 0.5mm pitch). Pin 1 is GND, Pin 2 is RESET (push-pull active-low), and Pin 3 is VCC. No MR or RESET-IN pins are present.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Ground reference for internal comparator and output stage; must be low-impedance connection |
| 2 | RESET | Push-pull active-low reset output; sinks current when asserted, high-impedance when deasserted |
| 3 | VCC | Monitored supply input and power source; also defines logic levels for internal circuitry |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-set 1.575V threshold | Eliminates external resistor networks and calibration for 1.6V-core systems |
| ±2.5% threshold accuracy over temperature | Ensures deterministic reset behavior across industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) |
| 1.5ms fixed timeout | Matches typical µP power-on reset timing requirements without external timing components |
| 7.5µA supply current | Reduces quiescent power in always-on supervision, critical for coin-cell and energy-harvesting systems |
| Immunity to VCC transients ≤100ns | Prevents spurious resets from digital noise or switching regulator ripple |
Applications
| Battery-Powered IoT Sensor Node | Low-Voltage Microcontroller Power Monitor |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: A coin-cell-powered environmental sensor samples data every 5 minutes and transmits via BLE only upon threshold breach. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MAX6832VXRD3 continuously monitors the 1.5V LDO output powering the MCU and radio, asserting RESET if voltage sags below 1.575V during transmit burst. Use Value: Prevents corrupted firmware execution or radio lockup during brownout, enabling autonomous recovery without host intervention. |
Use Scenario: An industrial controller uses a 1.6V core supply derived from a DC/DC converter; startup sequencing must guarantee clean boot before peripheral initialization. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MAX6832VXRD3 provides a 1.5ms reset pulse synchronized to VCC ramp, ensuring the µC remains held in reset until core rail stabilizes. Use Value: Guarantees deterministic power-on state across temperature and line variations, eliminating boot failures in unattended equipment. |
| Portable Medical Diagnostic Handheld | Wearable Health Monitor with Ultra-Low Quiescent Current |
Use Scenario: A handheld ECG device uses a single 1.5V alkaline cell; voltage declines gradually over months of use. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MAX6832VXRD3 asserts RESET when cell voltage drops below 1.575V, halting measurement and triggering low-battery alert before data corruption occurs. Use Value: Provides precise end-of-life detection aligned with clinical accuracy requirements, avoiding false readings near battery depletion. |
Use Scenario: A wrist-worn SpO₂ monitor operates continuously for 7 days on a 100mAh Li-ion cell, requiring sub-10µA system sleep current. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MAX6832VXRD3 supervises the 1.2V analog front-end supply with 7.5µA consumption, remaining active in all operating modes. Use Value: Enables system-level sleep current optimization without sacrificing power-rail integrity monitoring capability. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar µP supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX809TRD3 | 1.63V reset threshold, 1.5ms timeout, same SC70-3 package, but higher 15µA supply current | Designed for 1.65V+ supplies; less suitable for 1.5V–1.6V rails where tighter threshold margin is required | Select MAX809TRD3 only if system VCC nominal is ≥1.65V and higher quiescent current is acceptable |
| TPS3123QDBVRQ1 | 1.60V threshold, 200ms timeout, automotive-grade (-40°C to +125°C), SOT-23-3 package | Longer timeout and extended temperature range; not drop-in due to different timing and qualification level | Choose TPS3123QDBVRQ1 for automotive applications requiring AEC-Q100 qualification and longer reset hold time |
Compared with MAX6832VXRD3, MAX809TRD3 offers higher threshold and higher ICC, making it less optimal for 1.6V-core brownout detection; TPS3123QDBVRQ1 provides automotive reliability and longer timeout but requires layout adaptation and adds cost for non-automotive use cases.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6832VXRD3 and how is it specified?
The MAX6832VXRD3 has a factory-set reset threshold of 1.575V, with ±2.5% accuracy over the full operating temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). This value is defined in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Reset Threshold (VTH)" for suffix 'V', and applies across VCC = 1.1V to 3.3V. The threshold is internally trimmed and does not require external components.
Does MAX6832VXRD3 include a manual reset (MR) input?
No, MAX6832VXRD3 does not include a manual reset input. It belongs to the MAX6832/MAX6835/MAX6838 subgroup, which features only VCC, GND, and RESET pins in SC70-3 packaging. Manual reset capability is available only on 4-pin variants such as MAX6835XSD3 (with MR) or MAX6838XSD3 (with RESET-IN).
What is the function and electrical behavior of the RESET pin on MAX6832VXRD3?
The RESET pin on MAX6832VXRD3 is a push-pull active-low output. When asserted (VCC < 1.575V), it sinks up to 15µA at VCC ≥ 0.55V with VOL ≤ 0.15V. When deasserted, it drives high to VCC. No external pullup is required, and it interfaces directly with standard CMOS reset inputs without level-shifting.
Can MAX6832VXRD3 operate reliably when VCC falls below 1.0V?
Yes, MAX6832VXRD3 guarantees valid reset operation down to VCC = 0.55V. Below this voltage, the RESET output becomes high-impedance and no longer actively drives low. For applications requiring defined logic state down to 0V, a 100kΩ pulldown resistor on the RESET line is recommended per Maxim's application guidance.
What timeout period is implemented by the 'D3' suffix in MAX6832VXRD3?
The 'D3' suffix in MAX6832VXRD3 specifies a 210ms reset active timeout period - not 1.5ms. Correction: Per Table 2 ("Active Timeout Period Guide") and Table 3 ("Standard Versions"), MAX6832VXRD3 corresponds to D3 = 210ms. The device holds RESET low for 210ms after VCC rises above 1.575V or after recovery from brownout, ensuring robust µP initialization.
