Product details
Overview
MAX6834IXRD3+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 1.388V reset threshold and 210ms 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 reset and brownout protection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6834IXRD3+T datasheet, MAX6834IXRD3+T pinout, MAX6834IXRD3+T application, or MAX6834IXRD3+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 MAX6834IXRD3+T implements a precision voltage comparator with 444mV internal reference, comparing VCC against a factory-trimmed threshold (1.388V) 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 210ms reset timeout (D3 suffix), operates from VCC = 0.55V to 3.6V, and maintains reset validity during power-down transitions. The device ignores fast VCC transients ≤100ns and includes hysteresis (0.75% of VTH) to prevent chatter near threshold.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 1.388V ±2.5% over -40°C to +85°C - ensures accurate trip point for 1.4V nominal supplies without external calibration |
| Reset Timeout Period | 210ms - provides sufficient hold time for slow-ramping µP clock domains and memory initialization sequences |
| Supply Current | 7.5µA typical at +25°C - enables multi-year battery life in always-on monitoring applications |
| Output Type | Open-drain active-low RESET - allows wired-OR configuration and interface with bidirectional µP reset pins |
| VCC Operating Range | 0.55V to 3.6V - supports valid reset assertion down to deep brownout conditions before system collapse |
| Reset Propagation Delay | 60µs max (VCC falling) - ensures rapid response to supply collapse without missing critical timing windows |
| MR Input Support | Not present - MAX6834 uses VCC-only monitoring; no manual reset pin included in SC70-3 variant |
Pinout & Package
MAX6834IXRD3+T is housed in a 3-pin SC70-3 package (2.0mm × 2.1mm, 0.65mm pitch), optimized for space-constrained portable designs. Pin 1 is GND, Pin 2 is RESET (open-drain active-low), and Pin 3 is VCC.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - GND | Ground reference | Return path for internal comparator and output stage; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| 2 - RESET | Open-drain active-low reset output | Sinks current when asserted; requires external pullup resistor (typically 10–100kΩ) to defined logic-high voltage rail |
| 3 - VCC | Supply and monitored voltage input | Both powers the IC and serves as the monitored rail; valid operation guaranteed from 0.55V to 3.6V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-set 1.388V threshold | Eliminates external resistor divider and calibration effort for 1.4V supply monitoring |
| 210ms reset timeout (D3) | Matches typical µP power-up sequencing requirements for ARM Cortex-M and RISC-V SoCs |
| 7.5µA supply current | Reduces quiescent load on coin-cell or energy-harvesting sources by >50% vs. legacy reset ICs |
| ±2.5% threshold accuracy over temp | Ensures consistent reset behavior across industrial temperature range without derating |
| Immunity to 100ns VCC glitches | Prevents false resets in noisy DC/DC converter environments without added RC filtering |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6381XR24+T | Push-pull active-low output; 2.4V threshold; 200ms timeout; SC70-3 | Requires pullup removal and layout change; suited for higher-voltage rails (2.4V) | Select only if monitoring >2.0V supply; not drop-in due to different threshold and output drive architecture |
| TPS3123E13DBVR | Open-drain active-low; 1.33V threshold; 200ms timeout; SOT-23-3 | Same functional role but larger 2.92mm × 1.62mm footprint; 10µA ICC | Acceptable alternative if SC70-3 footprint unavailable; verify 1.33V vs. 1.388V margin in target application |
Compared with MAX6834IXRD3+T, MAX6381XR24+T offers higher threshold and push-pull drive but lacks open-drain flexibility, while TPS3123E13DBVR matches output type and threshold closely but consumes 33% more current and occupies 2.5× more board area.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6834IXRD3+T?
The MAX6834IXRD3+T has a factory-set reset threshold of 1.388V, with ±2.5% accuracy over the full -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range. This value is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table of the MAX6832–MAX6840 datasheet and corresponds to the 'I' threshold suffix. The threshold remains stable due to internal trimming and 0.75% hysteresis.
Does the MAX6834IXRD3+T include a manual reset (MR) input?
No, the MAX6834IXRD3+T does not include a manual reset input. As a member of the MAX6834/MAX6837/MAX6840 group in SC70-3 package, it monitors only VCC and asserts reset based solely on supply voltage crossing the 1.388V threshold. MR functionality is exclusive to the 4-pin SC70 variants (e.g., MAX6835/MAX6836/MAX6837).
What is the function of the RESET pin on the MAX6834IXRD3+T?
The RESET pin on the MAX6834IXRD3+T is an open-drain active-low output. When asserted (VCC < 1.388V), it sinks current to pull the line low; when deasserted, it presents high impedance. An external pullup resistor is mandatory - typically connected to a logic rail (e.g., 3.3V or 1.8V) - enabling level-shifting and wired-OR reset bus configurations.
Can the MAX6834IXRD3+T operate with VCC below 1.0V?
Yes, the MAX6834IXRD3+T is fully specified to operate down to VCC = 0.55V. Its reset comparator remains functional, and the open-drain RESET output can sink up to 15µA at VCC ≥ 0.55V. Below 0.55V, reset behavior is not guaranteed, though the device remains undamaged per absolute maximum ratings.
What does the 'D3' in MAX6834IXRD3+T indicate?
The 'D3' suffix in MAX6834IXRD3+T specifies the reset timeout period: 210ms. This is the duration for which the RESET output remains asserted after VCC rises above the 1.388V threshold. The D3 option is selected via the Active Timeout Period Guide in the datasheet and is implemented internally with no external components required.
