Product details
Overview
MAX806TCSA+T from Maxim Integrated is a 3.3V microprocessor supervisory circuit with active-high open-drain RESET output, 3.075V reset threshold, 200ms reset timeout, watchdog timer (1.6s), and battery-backup switchover. It monitors VCC, asserts reset during power-up/brownout/watchdog timeout, and switches VOUT to VBATT when VCC falls below 2.40V - used in embedded controllers and battery-powered instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX806TCSA+T datasheet, MAX806TCSA+T pinout, MAX806TCSA+T application, or MAX806TCSA+T equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, package mapping, functional role in µP power sequencing, and validated alternative options for 3.0V/3.3V system supervision.
Technical Context
The MAX806TCSA+T integrates a precision reset comparator with ±2% threshold tolerance (3.075V), a non-disableable 1.6s watchdog timer cleared by WDI edges, and dual-path power switching: VCC-to-VOUT via 3Ω PMOS and VBATT-to-VOUT via 140Ω switch. Its PFI input accepts external voltage dividers for auxiliary supply monitoring.
It features guaranteed RESET assertion down to VCC = 1V, 40µA VCC supply current (VCC < 3.6V), 1µA battery leakage, and operates across 0°C to +70°C in 8-pin SOIC. The active-high RESET output requires external pull-up and is inverse to the MAX802/MAX690 active-low variants.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 3.075V (±2%) - triggers reset when VCC falls below nominal 3.3V supply by >5%, ensuring reliable brownout detection before µP instability. |
| Reset Timeout Period | 200ms (140–280ms) - guarantees minimum reset pulse width for full µP initialization, independent of VCC ramp rate. |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6s (1.12–2.24s) - detects µP lockup; timer resets on any WDI edge, cannot be disabled. |
| VCC Supply Current | 40µA typical (VCC < 3.6V) - enables low-power operation in battery-backed systems without compromising supervision accuracy. |
| Battery Leakage Current | 0.01–0.5µA - minimizes self-discharge of lithium backup cells, extending shelf life in portable equipment. |
| VBATT Switch Threshold | 2.40V (2.30–2.50V) - initiates switchover to battery before VOUT drops below 2.0V, preserving CMOS RAM data integrity. |
| PFI Input Threshold | 1.237V ±25mV - supports accurate undervoltage detection of auxiliary rails via resistor divider, with 10mV hysteresis. |
Pinout & Package
MAX806TCSA+T is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package with standard 1.27mm pitch, RoHS-compliant lead-free finish (+ suffix), and moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VOUT | Supply output for CMOS RAM | Switches between VCC (via 3Ω PMOS) and VBATT (via 140Ω switch); connects to backup battery when VCC < 2.40V. |
| 2 - VCC | Main supply input | Primary 3.0V/3.3V power rail; powers internal circuitry and defines reset threshold reference. |
| 3 - GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all analog and digital functions; substrate tied to higher of VCC/VBATT. |
| 4 - PFI | Power-fail input | Monitors auxiliary supply via external divider; trips PFO low when voltage falls below 1.237V. |
| 5 - PFO | Power-fail output | Active-low open-drain signal indicating PFI undervoltage or VCC < 2.40V; can drive MR on MAX704/MAX806. |
| 6 - WDI | Watchdog input | Edge-sensitive input; clears 1.6s timer on rising/falling transitions; no disable function. |
| 7 - RESET | Active-high open-drain reset output | Inverse of MAX690/MAX802 RESET; requires external pull-up; pulses high for 200ms on fault conditions. |
| 8 - VBATT | Backup-battery input | Accepts 3.6V lithium cell; may exceed VCC during normal operation; enables seamless RAM retention during power loss. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guaranteed RESET assertion to VCC = 1V | Ensures fail-safe reset even during deep brownout, preventing µP execution from corrupted memory states. |
| 200ms reset timeout with restart-on-brownout | Each VCC dip below threshold restarts the timer, eliminating race conditions during noisy or slow-ramping supplies. |
| Battery switchover at 2.40V with hysteresis | Prevents oscillation near switchover point and extends battery life by delaying backup activation until necessary. |
| 1.6s watchdog timer with edge-triggered clear | Eliminates false timeouts from static logic levels; robust against noise-induced glitches on WDI line. |
| 40µA VCC supply current (typ) | Reduces quiescent load on primary supply, critical for long-duration battery operation in portable instruments. |
| 1µA battery supply current (typ) | Minimizes parasitic drain on backup cell, supporting multi-year shelf life in unpowered storage scenarios. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX802TCSA+T | Active-low RESET output; identical reset threshold (3.075V), watchdog, and switchover specs. | Requires µP with active-low reset input; no external pull-up needed on RESET. | Select when interfacing with legacy µPs mandating active-low reset assertion and board layout already uses pull-down configuration. |
| MAX706TCSA+ | No battery switchover or VBATT pin; adds push-button manual reset (MR) and power-fail warning (PFI/PFO). | Suitable for non-battery-backed systems; lacks RAM backup capability but offers lower cost and smaller footprint. | Choose for cost-sensitive 3.3V applications without backup power requirements, where manual reset and power-fail alert suffice. |
Compared with MAX802TCSA+T and MAX706TCSA+, the MAX806TCSA+T uniquely provides active-high open-drain RESET with battery switchover - essential for µPs requiring high-asserted reset and uninterrupted RAM retention during main supply failure.

FAQ
What is the reset threshold voltage of the MAX806TCSA+T?
The MAX806TCSA+T has a nominal reset threshold voltage of 3.075V with ±2% tolerance over temperature. This value is specified for VCC falling conditions and ensures reset assertion before the 3.3V supply drops below 3.0V, providing robust brownout protection for 3.3V µP systems.
Does the MAX806TCSA+T support battery backup functionality?
Yes, the MAX806TCSA+T supports battery backup via its VBATT pin and internal switchover circuitry. When VCC falls below 2.40V, VOUT automatically connects to VBATT through a 140Ω switch, preserving CMOS RAM data. VBATT may exceed VCC, enabling use of standard 3.6V lithium cells.
What is the function of the WDI pin on the MAX806TCSA+T?
The WDI (Watchdog Input) pin on the MAX806TCSA+T is edge-sensitive and clears the internal 1.6s watchdog timer on any rising or falling transition. If WDI remains static beyond 1.6s, the timer expires and triggers a reset pulse. The watchdog function cannot be disabled and operates independently of other supervision features.
How does the MAX806TCSA+T differ from the MAX802TCSA+T?
The MAX806TCSA+T features an active-high open-drain RESET output, while the MAX802TCSA+T provides an active-low RESET output. Both share identical reset threshold (3.075V), watchdog timing (1.6s), and battery switchover behavior. The choice depends on µP reset input polarity and whether external pull-up is preferred.
What package type and environmental compliance does the MAX806TCSA+T use?
The MAX806TCSA+T is supplied in an 8-pin SOIC package (S8+4 outline) with lead-free (RoHS-compliant) finish indicated by the "+" suffix. It meets MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity and is rated for 0°C to +70°C operation, with thermal characteristics supporting up to 471mW dissipation at +70°C.
