Product details
Overview
MAX6834VXRD3 from Maxim Integrated is an ultra-low-voltage microprocessor supervisory circuit in a 3-pin SC70 package, featuring open-drain active-low RESET output, factory-set 1.575V reset threshold (suffix V), and 210ms reset timeout (suffix D3). It monitors +1.2V to +1.8V supplies, asserts reset during brownout or manual trigger, and guarantees valid reset down to VCC = 0.55V. Used for reliable power-on reset in portable µP systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6834VXRD3 datasheet, MAX6834VXRD3 pinout, MAX6834VXRD3 application, or MAX6834VXRD3 equivalent, key selection criteria include open-drain reset compatibility with bidirectional µP reset pins, 210ms timeout timing, ±2.5% threshold accuracy over temperature, low 7.5µA supply current, and SC70-3 footprint constraints.
Technical Context
The MAX6834VXRD3 implements a precision voltage comparator with hysteresis (0.75% of VTH) and fixed 210ms reset timeout after VCC recovery or MR release. Its reset assertion logic responds to VCC falling below 1.575V (±2.5% over –40°C to +85°C) and remains asserted until VCC exceeds threshold for the full timeout period.
It features an open-drain RESET output requiring external pullup, enabling level-shifting across supply domains and direct interfacing with bidirectional µP reset I/O. The device ignores fast negative VCC transients up to 100ns and operates with supply voltages as low as 0.55V while maintaining guaranteed reset validity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 1.575V ±2.5% over –40°C to +85°C - ensures accurate brownout detection for 1.6V nominal core supplies |
| Reset Timeout Period | 210ms - provides sufficient hold time for µP initialization and peripheral stabilization |
| Supply Current | 7.5µA typical at +25°C - enables multi-year battery life in always-on portable equipment |
| VCC Operating Range | 0.55V to 3.6V - guarantees functional reset assertion even during deep brownout conditions |
| RESET Output Type | Open-drain active-low - supports wired-OR reset networks and bidirectional µP reset pins without conflict |
| Package | SC70-3 - 1.25mm × 0.85mm footprint ideal for space-constrained handheld and wearable designs |
| Reset Propagation Delay | 60µs max on VCC fall - ensures rapid response to supply collapse before µP executes invalid instructions |
Pinout & Package
MAX6834VXRD3 uses the 3-pin SC70-3 package (1.25mm × 0.85mm, 0.65mm pitch), with GND on Pin 1, RESET (open-drain active-low) on Pin 2, and VCC on Pin 3.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (GND) | Ground reference | Return path for internal comparator and output stage; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| Pin 2 (RESET) | Open-drain active-low reset output | Sinks current when asserted; requires external pullup resistor (typically 10kΩ to VCC or higher supply) to define high state |
| Pin 3 (VCC) | Supply and monitored voltage input | Power source and primary voltage monitoring node; valid operation supported down to 0.55V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-set 1.575V reset threshold | Eliminates external resistor divider and calibration, reducing BOM count and layout area for 1.6V core rails |
| 210ms fixed reset timeout | Ensures µP and memory subsystems fully stabilize before release, avoiding boot failures in complex embedded firmware |
| 7.5µA supply current | Minimizes quiescent drain on coin-cell or Li-ion backup supplies in always-on monitoring applications |
| ±2.5% threshold accuracy over temperature | Prevents premature or delayed reset assertion across industrial temperature range without trimming |
| Immunity to 100ns VCC glitches | Rejects noise-induced false resets from switching regulators or digital crosstalk without external filtering |
Applications
| Portable Medical Sensors | Wearable Fitness Trackers |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Continuous ECG/PPG sensing powered by single CR2032 coin cell with intermittent BLE transmission. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervises 1.5V LDO output powering MCU and analog front-end; asserts reset if battery sags below 1.575V during RF burst. Use Value: Prevents corrupted sensor data writes and BLE stack lockups by enforcing clean restart before voltage collapse reaches critical levels. |
Use Scenario: Ultra-thin wrist-worn device with 1.2V core supply and 3.3V display interface. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monitors 1.2V core rail and generates 210ms open-drain reset pulse to coordinate MCU and display controller startup sequencing. Use Value: Enables shared RESET line between MCU and display IC using single pullup, eliminating need for discrete OR-gating logic. |
| Industrial IoT Edge Nodes | Low-Power Smart Meters |
Use Scenario: Battery-backed sensor node operating in remote locations with wide ambient temperature swings (–40°C to +85°C). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides temperature-stable reset supervision for ARM Cortex-M0+ MCU running on 1.6V regulated supply. Use Value: ±2.5% threshold accuracy prevents spurious resets at cold extremes where battery voltage droops but system remains functional. |
Use Scenario: AMI smart meter with dual-supply architecture: 1.5V MCU core and 3.3V metrology ADC. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Uses open-drain RESET pulled to 3.3V to assert reset on both 1.5V MCU and 3.3V ADC simultaneously during brownout. Use Value: Eliminates separate reset ICs per supply domain, reducing component count and PCB area in cost-sensitive utility-grade design. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6381XR29D3-T | Same SC70-3 package, 1.575V threshold, 210ms timeout, but push-pull active-low RESET output | Requires no external pullup; incompatible with bidirectional µP reset pins or level-shifting | Select when board space allows no extra resistor and reset net drives only one CMOS input |
| TPS3123E15DBVR | 3-pin SOT-23, 1.55V threshold, 200ms timeout, 5µA supply current, but no VCC < 0.7V reset guarantee | Lacks guaranteed reset validity below 0.7V - unsuitable for deep brownout detection in ultra-low-VCC systems | Select when lowest possible quiescent current is critical and brownout occurs above 0.7V |
Compared with MAX6834VXRD3, MAX6381XR29D3-T eliminates the pullup resistor but sacrifices bidirectional reset compatibility, while TPS3123E15DBVR reduces current draw by 33% but forfeits sub-0.7V reset assurance required for robust battery-dead detection.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage and tolerance for MAX6834VXRD3?
The MAX6834VXRD3 has a factory-set reset threshold of 1.575V with ±2.5% accuracy over the full operating temperature range of –40°C to +85°C. This value is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Reset Threshold (VTH)" for suffix V devices and applies directly to MAX6834VXRD3 without adjustment or calibration.
Does MAX6834VXRD3 support operation below 1.0V supply voltage?
Yes, MAX6834VXRD3 guarantees functional reset assertion down to VCC = 0.55V. Its internal comparator and open-drain output remain operational in this range, ensuring reliable brownout detection even as battery voltage collapses in deeply discharged states - a key capability confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics sections.
What is the required external pullup resistor value for the MAX6834VXRD3 RESET pin?
MAX6834VXRD3 does not specify a mandatory pullup value; typical designs use 4.7kΩ to 10kΩ connected to VCC or a higher supply (up to 6V). The choice depends on rise time requirements and bus loading: lower resistance improves speed but increases static current, while higher resistance saves power but may slow transitions on long traces or capacitive loads.
Can MAX6834VXRD3 interface directly with a microprocessor that has a bidirectional reset pin?
Yes, MAX6834VXRD3's open-drain active-low RESET output is explicitly designed for this purpose. As stated in the Applications Information section, connecting its RESET pin directly to a bidirectional µP reset I/O with a single pullup resistor allows either device to assert reset - a verified configuration shown in Figure 4 of the datasheet.
What is the reset timeout period for MAX6834VXRD3 and how is it selected?
MAX6834VXRD3 has a fixed 210ms reset timeout period, indicated by the "D3" suffix in its part number. This value is one of five factory-programmed options (D0–D4) and is not user-adjustable. The timeout begins when VCC rises above 1.575V or when MR is released, and holds RESET low for the full 210ms duration regardless of subsequent VCC fluctuations.
