Product details
Overview
The MAX6835VXSD3 from Maxim Integrated is a precision ultra-low-voltage microprocessor supervisory circuit in SC70-4 package, featuring a push-pull 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, consumes only 7.5µA typical supply current, and guarantees valid reset assertion down to VCC = 0.55V - designed for reliable power-on/power-down sequencing in portable µP systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6835VXSD3 datasheet, MAX6835VXSD3 pinout, MAX6835VXSD3 application, or MAX6835VXSD3 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 4-pin SC70 footprint, debounced manual reset input (MR), ±2.5% threshold accuracy over temperature, immunity to short VCC transients, and compatibility with low-noise, battery-sensitive embedded designs.
Technical Context
The MAX6835VXSD3 implements a precision voltage comparator with internal 444mV reference, comparing VCC against a factory-trimmed threshold (1.575V) to assert RESET when supply drops below specification. Its reset timeout is fixed at 210ms via internal timing circuitry, independent of external components.
It integrates a debounced MR input with 20kΩ internal pullup, rejecting glitches <100ns and requiring only 2µs minimum pulse width. The push-pull active-low RESET output sinks 200µA at VCC ≥1.5V with VOL ≤0.2V, ensuring robust interface with CMOS µP reset inputs without external pullups.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 1.575V ±2.5% - precisely set for 1.6V nominal core supplies; ensures reset assertion before logic corruption |
| Reset Timeout Period | 210ms - provides sufficient hold time for µP initialization after brownout recovery |
| Supply Current | 7.5µA (typ) at 1.2V - enables multi-year battery life in always-on monitoring applications |
| VCC Operating Range | +0.55V to +3.6V - guarantees functional reset assertion even during deep brownout (down to 0.55V) |
| MR Input Logic | Active-low with 20kΩ internal pullup - eliminates need for external resistor; supports direct switch-to-ground connection |
| RESET Output Type | Push-pull active-low - drives low without external components; compatible with standard µP reset pins |
| Temperature Range | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and automotive cabin-ambient environments |
Pinout & Package
MAX6835VXSD3 is housed in a 4-pin SC70-4 package (2.0mm × 2.1mm, 0.65mm pitch), optimized for space-constrained portable PCBs. Pin 1 = GND, Pin 2 = RESET, Pin 3 = MR, Pin 4 = VCC.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (GND) | Ground Reference | Primary return path for internal comparator and output driver; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| 2 (RESET) | Active-Low Reset Output | Push-pull CMOS output asserting LOW during fault; directly interfaces µP reset pin without pullup resistor |
| 3 (MR) | Debounced Manual Reset Input | Active-low input with internal 20kΩ pullup; accepts momentary switch to GND; rejects <100ns noise spikes |
| 4 (VCC) | Supply & Monitored Voltage | Power source and monitored rail; device asserts reset when this voltage falls below 1.575V threshold |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-Set 1.575V Threshold | Eliminates external resistor divider; reduces BOM count and layout area while maintaining ±2.5% accuracy from -40°C to +85°C |
| 210ms Fixed Timeout | Guarantees µP reset hold time exceeds boot ROM execution window; no capacitor tolerance drift or temperature drift |
| 7.5µA Supply Current | Enables continuous supervision in energy-harvesting or coin-cell-powered devices without measurable battery drain |
| Debounced MR Input | Removes need for external RC filter or firmware debounce; supports direct mechanical switch integration with no added latency |
| VCC = 0.55V Reset Validity | Ensures deterministic reset state during deep undervoltage - prevents metastability in downstream logic during final power collapse |
Applications
| Portable Medical Sensors | Industrial PLC I/O Modules |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Wearable ECG sensor operating from single Li-ion cell with dynamic voltage sag during RF transmission. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervises 1.5V analog front-end and 1.8V MCU core; asserts reset within 60µs of VCC drop below 1.575V. Use Value: Prevents corrupted ADC sampling and firmware lockup during transient brownout, enabling automatic recovery without host intervention. |
Use Scenario: DIN-rail mounted digital input module exposed to 24V DC supply ripple and cold-start voltage ramp. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monitors isolated 1.5V logic supply derived from buck converter; holds µC in reset until stable post-power-up. Use Value: Eliminates spurious I/O state changes during power ramp; 210ms timeout matches worst-case converter soft-start duration. |
| Battery-Powered IoT Edge Nodes | Automotive Body Control Modules |
Use Scenario: Sub-GHz wireless node powered by alkaline AA cells, experiencing gradual voltage decay over months. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Detects end-of-life voltage collapse at 1.575V; triggers graceful shutdown sequence via µC interrupt on RESET deassertion. Use Value: Extends usable battery life by avoiding premature shutdown; 7.5µA quiescent current adds <0.01% monthly drain. |
Use Scenario: Door module subjected to load dump and cold-crank conditions causing 5V rail dip to 1.2V. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervises 1.5V domain powering CAN transceiver and wake-up logic; asserts reset during 12V battery sag. Use Value: Maintains CAN bus integrity by preventing partial register writes; immune to 100ns VCC glitches per ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar µP supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6381XR24D3+ | Same SC70-4 package, 2.4V reset threshold, 210ms timeout, but no MR input; 10µA supply current | Designed for higher-voltage I/O rails; lacks manual reset capability required for field service diagnostics | Select only if monitoring >2.0V supplies and MR functionality is unnecessary |
| TPS3123E15DBVR | 3-pin SOT-23, 1.5V threshold, 200ms timeout, 1.8µA supply current, but no MR input and ±3% accuracy | Ultra-low-power focus; smaller footprint but incompatible pinout and missing debounced MR | Prefer for space- and energy-critical designs where MR is omitted and 0.5% threshold tolerance is acceptable |
Compared with MAX6835VXSD3, MAX6381XR24D3+ serves higher-supply applications without manual reset, while TPS3123E15DBVR trades MR functionality and tighter threshold accuracy for lower quiescent current and smaller package - neither offers pin compatibility or identical feature set.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6835VXSD3?
MAX6835VXSD3 has a factory-set reset threshold of 1.575V with ±2.5% accuracy over the full -40°C to +85°C temperature range. This value is confirmed in the Threshold Suffix Guide (suffix V) and Electrical Characteristics table under VTH parameter for MAX6835 devices. The threshold remains stable due to internal trimming and BiCMOS process design.
Does the MAX6835VXSD3 require an external pullup resistor on the RESET pin?
No, MAX6835VXSD3 does not require an external pullup resistor because it features a push-pull active-low RESET output. The internal driver actively pulls RESET low during fault and high during normal operation, eliminating dependency on external components for level setting - unlike open-drain variants such as MAX6834/MAX6837.
What is the function of the MR pin on the MAX6835VXSD3?
The MR (Manual Reset) pin on MAX6835VXSD3 is an active-low input with a built-in 20kΩ pullup resistor to VCC. Pulling MR low forces an immediate reset regardless of VCC level, and reset remains asserted for the full 210ms timeout after MR returns high. This enables hardware-initiated recovery without µP intervention.
Can the MAX6835VXSD3 operate reliably below 1.0V supply voltage?
Yes, MAX6835VXSD3 guarantees functional reset assertion down to VCC = 0.55V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. Below 0.55V, the push-pull output becomes high-impedance, but the device continues to monitor and assert reset up to that point - critical for detecting final-stage brownout in battery systems.
Is the MAX6835VXSD3 pin-compatible with older Maxim supervisors like MAX809?
MAX6835VXSD3 is not pin-compatible with MAX809. While both are supervisory circuits, MAX809 uses SOT-23-3 packaging and lacks the MR pin present on the 4-pin SC70-4 MAX6835VXSD3. The datasheet explicitly states pin compatibility only with MAX6711–MAX6713 and MAX6381–MAX6390 series - not legacy MAX8xx devices.
