Product details
Overview
MAX6849KASD3-T from Maxim Integrated is a dual-output, ultra-low-power battery monitor with integrated microprocessor supervisor and push-pull RESET output. It features user-adjustable low-battery thresholds (582mV/615mV hysteresis), 150ms LBO timeout, 150ms MR reset timeout, and factory-set 3.075V VCC reset threshold with 150ms timeout. It operates from -40°C to +85°C in portable medical devices and single-cell Li+ systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6849KASD3-T datasheet, MAX6849KASD3-T pinout, MAX6849KASD3-T application, or MAX6849KASD3-T equivalent, key selection considerations include dual LBOH/LBOL signaling for graded battery state awareness, push-pull RESET compatibility with 3.3V µP I/O, manual reset debouncing, and SOT23-8 footprint suitability for space-constrained battery-powered designs.
Technical Context
The MAX6849KASD3-T implements two independent comparator channels - one for LBOL (low-threshold detection at 582mV/615mV) and one for LBOH (high-threshold detection at 582mV/615mV) - each with 5% typical hysteresis and 150ms deassertion timeout. Its internal 615mV reference enables precise resistor-divider programming of battery trip points for single-cell Li+ or multicell alkaline/NiMH systems.
It integrates a separate VCC supervisor with fixed 3.075V reset threshold (±75mV), 150ms timeout, and push-pull active-low RESET output referenced to VCC. The MR input includes 1.5kΩ internal pullup, 150ms rising-edge debounce, and 1µs minimum pulse width support for reliable pushbutton reset initiation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Reset Threshold | 3.075V ±75mV - ensures deterministic µP reset when main supply drops below nominal 3.3V rail. |
| LBO Timeout Period | 150ms min - prevents false low-battery assertion during transient voltage recovery after load removal. |
| Supply Current | 2.5µA typ at 3.6V - enables multi-year operation on coin-cell or small Li+ batteries. |
| Operating Temp Range | -40°C to +85°C - supports industrial and portable medical device deployment without derating. |
| RESET Output Type | Push-pull - eliminates need for external pullup and guarantees defined logic high when deasserted. |
| Threshold Reference | 615mV internal bandgap - provides stable, temperature-compensated basis for resistor-programmed battery monitoring. |
| MR Debounce Period | 150ms - suppresses mechanical switch bounce and EMI-induced false resets. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6849KASD3-T is housed in an 8-pin SOT23 package (3.00mm × 2.60mm × 1.45mm), fully specified from -40°C to +85°C, with lead-free option available (+T suffix).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | Primary power supply input | Accepts 1.6V–5.5V; powers device when higher than VCC; enables direct battery connection. |
| GND | Analog/digital ground reference | Common return for all internal comparators, reference, and outputs; requires low-impedance layout. |
| LTHIN | Low-threshold monitor input | Resistor-divider node setting LBOL trip point; 20nA leakage preserves accuracy in high-R networks. |
| LBOL | Active-low open-drain low-battery output (low) | Asserts when LTHIN falls below 582mV; deasserts after 150ms when LTHIN rises above 615mV. |
| RESET | Active-low push-pull reset output | Drives low when VCC < 3.075V or MR pulled low; guaranteed logic high when deasserted (no pullup needed). |
| MR | Active-low manual reset input | Internal 1.5kΩ pullup to VCC; debounced rising edge; initiates one-shot 150ms RESET pulse. |
| HTHIN | High-threshold monitor input | Resistor-divider node setting LBOH trip point; identical 20nA leakage and 5% hysteresis as LTHIN. |
| VCC | VCC supervisor input & secondary supply | Monitored for reset; powers device if > VDD; supports 1.2V–5.5V range with 3.075V threshold. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent low-battery outputs | LBOL and LBOH provide discrete signals for "battery weak" and "battery empty", enabling tiered power management decisions. |
| User-adjustable thresholds via resistor dividers | Supports precise adaptation to diverse battery chemistries (Li+, NiMH, alkaline) using only three external resistors. |
| 5% typical hysteresis per channel | Prevents output chatter during battery voltage recovery, eliminating need for external RC filtering. |
| Push-pull RESET output | Eliminates external pullup resistor, reduces BOM count, and ensures fast, rail-to-rail logic transitions compatible with 3.3V µPs. |
| 150ms MR debounce and timeout | Guarantees clean, single-pulse reset generation from mechanical switches without firmware intervention. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar battery monitoring and µP supervision applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6848KASD3-T | Open-drain RESET output; same dual-LBO, 3.075V VCC threshold, and 150ms timeouts. | Requires external pullup for RESET; suitable where µP has internal pullup or level-shifting is needed. | Select when interfacing to 5V-tolerant µPs or when open-drain flexibility (e.g., wired-OR) is required. |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Fixed 3.3V reset threshold, no battery monitoring; 200ms timeout; 2.5µA quiescent current. | Provides only VCC supervision - lacks LBOH/LBOL outputs and adjustable battery thresholds. | Select only for pure reset supervision; not a functional substitute for battery state monitoring capability. |
Compared with MAX6849KASD3-T, MAX6848KASD3-T offers identical battery monitoring but requires external RESET pullup, while TPS3808G33DBVR delivers lower-cost reset-only functionality without any battery awareness - neither matches the integrated dual-threshold, push-pull advantage of MAX6849KASD3-T.

FAQ
What is the function of the HTHIN and LTHIN pins on the MAX6849KASD3-T?
The HTHIN and LTHIN pins on the MAX6849KASD3-T serve as high-threshold and low-threshold monitor inputs, respectively. Each accepts a resistor-divider voltage to set the trip points for LBOH and LBOL outputs. Both pins use the internal 615mV reference and exhibit 20nA leakage, enabling precise, low-power threshold programming for single-cell Li+ or multicell alkaline/NiMH batteries. The MAX6849KASD3-T relies on these inputs to generate hysteresis-stabilized battery status signals.
Does the MAX6849KASD3-T support both VDD and VCC power sources simultaneously?
Yes, the MAX6849KASD3-T supports dual-supply operation: VDD (1.6V–5.5V) powers the battery monitor section and can connect directly to the battery, while VCC (1.2V–5.5V) feeds the µP supervisor and reset circuitry. The device automatically selects the higher of VDD or VCC as its internal power source. This architecture allows the MAX6849KASD3-T to monitor battery voltage independently while supervising a separate 3.3V system rail - a key capability confirmed in the MAX6849KASD3-T datasheet's Electrical Characteristics table.
What is the significance of the 'S' and 'D3' suffixes in MAX6849KASD3-T?
In MAX6849KASD3-T, the 'S' denotes the factory-trimmed VCC reset threshold of 2.925V (per Table 1), and 'D3' specifies the 150ms minimum VCC reset timeout period (per Table 2). However, per the Ordering Information table, MAX6849KASD3-T corresponds to a 3.075V threshold - confirming that 'S' here maps to the 3.075V option in Maxim's internal coding. The 'D3' suffix consistently indicates 150ms timeout across all variants. These suffixes define critical supervision behavior and must match system voltage and timing requirements for reliable MAX6849KASD3-T integration.
How does the MAX6849KASD3-T prevent false triggering due to battery voltage transients?
The MAX6849KASD3-T prevents false triggering using three mechanisms: (1) 5% typical hysteresis between LBOH/LBOL assert/deassert thresholds (582mV/615mV), eliminating chatter during recovery; (2) 150ms minimum timeout before deassertion, ensuring voltage stabilization; and (3) immunity to short transients - the device ignores VCC or threshold input spikes under 100ns (MR) or <100µs (LTHIN/HTHIN) per typical operating characteristics. These features are explicitly verified in the MAX6849KASD3-T datasheet's Absolute Maximum Ratings and Timing Diagrams.
Can the MAX6849KASD3-T be used with a 1.8V microprocessor system?
Yes, the MAX6849KASD3-T supports 1.8V µP systems via its VCC supervisor input, which monitors voltages from 1.2V to 5.5V and offers factory-set thresholds down to 1.575V (V suffix). Although MAX6849KASD3-T uses the 'S' suffix (3.075V), other variants like MAX6849KAVD3-T provide 1.575V reset - confirming full 1.8V compatibility across the family. The push-pull RESET output drives valid logic levels (VOH ≥ 0.8×VCC, VOL ≤ 0.3V) at 1.8V, satisfying µP input thresholds without level shifters. This capability is documented in the MAX6849KASD3-T Electrical Characteristics table under RESET Output High/Low specifications.
