Product details
Overview
MAX6834FXRD1+T from Maxim Integrated is an ultra-low-voltage, open-drain active-low microprocessor reset circuit in SC70-3 package, designed to monitor +1.2V to +1.8V supplies with factory-set 1.050V reset threshold and 1.5ms timeout period. It asserts RESET when VCC falls below threshold or during manual reset, and guarantees valid reset output down to VCC = 0.55V. Used in portable battery-powered systems for reliable power-on initialization and brownout protection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6834FXRD1+T datasheet, MAX6834FXRD1+T pinout, MAX6834FXRD1+T application, or MAX6834FXRD1+T equivalent, key selection criteria include open-drain reset compatibility with bidirectional µP reset pins, low 7.5µA supply current, ±2.5% threshold accuracy over temperature, and immunity to short negative VCC transients.
Technical Context
The MAX6834FXRD1+T implements a precision voltage comparator with 444mV internal reference, comparing VCC against a factory-trimmed threshold (1.050V) to trigger reset assertion. Its open-drain RESET output requires an external pullup and supports level-shifting across supply domains - e.g., monitoring a 1.2V core while pulling up to a 3.3V I/O rail.
It features fixed 1.5ms reset timeout (D1 suffix), operates from VCC = 0.55V to 3.6V, and maintains reset validity down to 0.55V with guaranteed VOL ≤ 0.15V at ISINK = 15µA. The device ignores fast VCC transients (<100ns glitches) and includes no MR or RESET-IN pins - confirming its dedicated voltage-detection role without manual or adjustable inputs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 1.050V ±2.5% - precisely monitors 1.2V supply rails with tight tolerance over -40°C to +85°C. |
| Reset Timeout Period | 1.5ms - ensures µP remains held in reset long enough for stable power-up sequencing after VCC recovery. |
| Supply Current | 7.5µA (typ) at VCC = 1.2V - enables multi-year battery life in always-on portable instrumentation. |
| Output Type | Open-drain active-low - allows wired-OR configuration and level-shifting to higher voltage rails (up to 6V). |
| VCC Operating Range | 0.55V to 3.6V - guarantees reset assertion even during deep brownout conditions before system collapse. |
| Reset Output Validity | Valid down to VCC = 0.55V - ensures deterministic logic state on RESET line during full power-down ramp. |
| Threshold Accuracy | ±2.5% over temperature - eliminates need for external calibration in industrial-grade embedded controllers. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6834FXRD1+T is housed in a 3-pin SC70-3 package (2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.95mm), optimized for space-constrained portable designs. Pin 1 = GND, Pin 2 = RESET (open-drain active-low), Pin 3 = VCC.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Ground reference for internal comparator and output stage; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane. |
| 2 | RESET | Open-drain active-low output; requires external pullup resistor (typically 10–100kΩ) to defined logic-high voltage. |
| 3 | VCC | Monitored supply input and power source; also defines operating range (0.55V–3.6V) and reset threshold reference. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-set 1.050V threshold | Eliminates external resistor divider and calibration effort for 1.2V system monitoring. |
| 1.5ms fixed timeout | Matches typical µP power-up stabilization time without requiring external timing components. |
| 7.5µA supply current | Reduces quiescent power draw by >50% vs. legacy reset ICs, critical for coin-cell–powered sensors. |
| Open-drain RESET with 6V tolerance | Enables direct interface to 3.3V/5V µP reset pins without level translators or isolation diodes. |
| Immunity to <100ns VCC glitches | Prevents spurious resets in noisy DC/DC converter environments without added RC filtering. |
Applications

Use Scenario: A handheld glucose meter powers its analog front-end and display from a regulated 1.2V rail; cold-temperature operation causes slow VCC ramp-up during startup. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MAX6834FXRD1+T holds reset asserted until VCC exceeds 1.050V and remains high for 1.5ms, ensuring all analog blocks stabilize before digital initialization. Use Value: Guarantees repeatable measurement accuracy across -20°C to +60°C ambient, validated per ISO 13485 design controls. |
Use Scenario: A solar-harvested environmental sensor accumulates charge on a supercapacitor before powering up a 1.2V MCU; VCC rises slowly and non-monotonically. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MAX6834FXRD1+T detects first crossing of 1.050V and enforces 1.5ms minimum reset deassertion delay, preventing premature wake-up during capacitor charging ripple. Use Value: Increases effective energy utilization by 22% vs. fixed-delay RC reset circuits, extending deployment interval between maintenance cycles. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage detector and µP reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX809TRD1+T | Push-pull active-low output; 2.93V threshold; SC70-3; 1.5ms timeout; 12µA ICC. | Designed for 3.3V systems, not 1.2V; incompatible threshold and higher supply current. | Select only if migrating from legacy 3.3V designs with identical pinout and no need for sub-1.8V monitoring. |
| TPS3123E12DBVR | Open-drain active-low; 1.2V threshold; SOT-23-3; 200ms timeout; 2.5µA ICC. | Lower threshold (1.2V vs. 1.050V); longer timeout; smaller 2.92mm² footprint; tighter 1.5% threshold accuracy. | Prefer for new 1.2V designs prioritizing ultra-low ICC and tighter threshold spec, accepting longer reset hold time. |
Compared with MAX809TRD1+T and TPS3123E12DBVR, MAX6834FXRD1+T uniquely balances 1.050V threshold accuracy, 1.5ms timing, open-drain flexibility, and 7.5µA consumption in SC70-3 - making it optimal for space- and power-constrained 1.2V systems where precise brownout detection is mandatory.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6834FXRD1+T and how is it specified?
The MAX6834FXRD1+T has a factory-set reset threshold of 1.050V, with ±2.5% accuracy over the full operating temperature range (-40°C to +85°C). This value is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Reset Threshold (VTH)" for suffix F, and applies specifically to the MAX6834 series with FXRD1+T ordering code. The threshold is trimmed during production and does not require external adjustment.
Does MAX6834FXRD1+T include a manual reset (MR) input or RESET-IN pin?
No, MAX6834FXRD1+T does not include a manual reset (MR) input or RESET-IN pin. As confirmed in the Pin Description section and functional diagrams, the MAX6834 variant (SC70-3, open-drain active-low) has only three terminals: GND, RESET, and VCC. MR and RESET-IN are present only on 4-pin variants (e.g., MAX6835–MAX6840), not on MAX6834FXRD1+T.
What is the meaning of the 'D1' in MAX6834FXRD1+T and what timeout period does it specify?
The 'D1' in MAX6834FXRD1+T refers to the active timeout period suffix defined in Table 2 of the datasheet, specifying a typical reset active timeout of 1.5ms. This is the duration RESET remains asserted after VCC rises above the 1.050V threshold. The D1 option is distinct from D0 (70µs), D2 (30ms), D3 (210ms), and D4 (1680ms), and is confirmed for this part number in the Ordering Information table.
Can MAX6834FXRD1+T operate with VCC below 1.2V, and down to what voltage does it guarantee reset functionality?
Yes, MAX6834FXRD1+T operates with VCC as low as 0.55V and guarantees valid reset assertion down to that level. Per the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables, reset remains functional and RESET output is specified (VOL ≤ 0.15V at ISINK = 15µA) for VCC ≥ 0.55V. Below 0.55V, the device ceases to drive RESET but is not damaged.
Is MAX6834FXRD1+T RoHS-compliant and what does the '+T' suffix indicate?
Yes, MAX6834FXRD1+T is RoHS-compliant. The '+T' suffix explicitly denotes lead-free, halogen-free, and RoHS-compliant packaging per Maxim Integrated's ordering conventions. This replaces the older '-T' suffix and confirms compliance with EU Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC J-STD-609 standards, verified in the Package Information section and Maxim's product change notices.
