Product details
Overview
MXD1816XR26 from Maxim Integrated is a low-power, open-drain, active-low microprocessor reset IC designed for +2.5V/+3.0V/+3.3V digital systems. It monitors VCC and asserts RESET when supply voltage falls below 2.55V (±2.5% accuracy), holds reset for ≥100ms after VCC recovery, features an internal 5.5kΩ pullup resistor, and operates across –40°C to +105°C in SC70-3 packaging - ideal for portable equipment and critical μP supervision.
For engineers reviewing the MXD1816XR26 datasheet, MXD1816XR26 pinout, MXD1816XR26 application, or MXD1816XR26 equivalent, this page delivers verified circuit role, reset threshold tolerance, timeout stability over temperature, manual-reset compatibility constraints, and package-specific sourcing guidance - all confirmed from Maxim's official datasheet Rev 2 (11/2014).
Technical Context
The MXD1816XR26 implements a precision bandgap-based voltage comparator with hysteresis to detect VCC drops below its factory-trimmed 2.55V threshold. Its open-drain RESET output interfaces directly with bidirectional μP reset pins (e.g., Motorola 68HC11) without external pullups, and guarantees valid logic states down to VCC = +1.0V.
Unlike MXD1813/MXD1818 variants, MXD1816XR26 lacks manual-reset debounce circuitry and push-button detection - it responds only to VCC-supply monitoring. Its 4μA typical supply current and immunity to transients ≤2µs (at 2.55V overdrive) support battery-powered reliability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.55V ±2.5% - ensures reliable brownout detection for 2.5V/3.0V/3.3V systems without false triggers |
| Reset Timeout Period | 100ms minimum - guarantees sufficient processor initialization time after power recovery |
| Supply Current | 4μA typical at +3.6V - enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered portable devices |
| Operating Voltage Range | +1.0V to +5.5V - supports valid reset assertion even during deep brownout conditions |
| Output Type | Open-drain, active-low with 5.5kΩ internal pullup - eliminates need for external resistor in most μP interface designs |
| Temperature Range | –40°C to +105°C - qualified for industrial and extended-temperature embedded applications |
| VCC Transient Immunity | Rejects negative glitches <2µs at 2.55V overdrive - prevents spurious resets from switching noise |
Pinout & Package
MXD1816XR26 is housed in a 3-pin SC70 (X3-2) package - ultra-compact (1.25mm × 2.0mm × 0.9mm), surface-mount, RoHS-compliant, and optimized for high-density PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (SC70) | RESET | Open-drain, active-low output; pulled high internally to VCC via 5.5kΩ resistor; sinks up to 10mA when asserted |
| 2 (SC70) | VCC | Main supply input and reset-threshold reference node; accepts 1.0V–5.5V; powers internal comparator and timer |
| 3 (SC70) | GND | Analog/digital ground reference; must be low-impedance connection to maintain threshold accuracy and noise immunity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision reset threshold | Factory-trimmed 2.55V with ±2.5% tolerance over full –40°C to +105°C range - eliminates calibration overhead |
| No external components required | Integrated pullup, comparator, timer, and reference - reduces BOM count and layout area vs. discrete solutions |
| Low-power operation | 4μA typical ICC at +3.6V - extends battery life in always-on monitoring applications |
| VCC transient immunity | Immune to fast negative-going supply glitches <2µs duration - avoids false resets in noisy power environments |
| Valid reset down to VCC = +1.0V | Guaranteed RESET logic state integrity even during severe brownout - ensures deterministic μP behavior |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX809TRD2T | 2.93V reset threshold, SOT23-3, 14μA ICC, no internal pullup - requires external 47kΩ pullup for open-drain use | Designed for +3.3V systems with tighter timing budgets; lacks VCC = +1V validity guarantee | Select when higher threshold margin is needed and board space allows external resistor placement |
| TPS3808G125DBVR | 1.25V threshold, adjustable via external resistor, 1.6μA ICC, push-pull output - no internal pullup, different pinout | Targets ultra-low-voltage microcontrollers (e.g., MSP430); not drop-in compatible due to pin function reassignment | Choose only for sub-2V supply monitoring where programmability outweighs footprint and layout change cost |
Compared with MXD1816XR26, MAX809TRD2T offers higher threshold but demands external biasing and lacks deep-brownout validity; TPS3808G125DBVR enables threshold tuning but sacrifices pin compatibility and adds design complexity - MXD1816XR26 delivers optimal balance of precision, integration, and industrial temperature resilience for fixed 2.55V supervision.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MXD1816XR26, and how tightly is it specified?
The MXD1816XR26 has a factory-set reset threshold of 2.55V, with a guaranteed tolerance of ±2.5% over the full operating temperature range (–40°C to +105°C). This value is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under "MXD181_ _ R26" row, where min/typ/max are listed as 2.47V/2.55V/2.64V. The specification ensures reliable brownout detection without calibration in 2.5V/3.0V/3.3V systems.
Does MXD1816XR26 support manual reset functionality via the RESET pin?
No, MXD1816XR26 does not include manual-reset debounce circuitry. Unlike MXD1813/MXD1818 variants, it responds exclusively to VCC supply monitoring and lacks the 1.5µs push-button detect feature. Its RESET pin is strictly an open-drain output - pulling it low externally will not trigger a reset timeout; only VCC falling below 2.55V initiates assertion.
What package type and dimensions does MXD1816XR26 use, and is it RoHS-compliant?
MXD1816XR26 uses the SC70-3 (X3-2) package: 1.25mm × 2.0mm × 0.9mm body size with 0.65mm lead pitch. Per Maxim's Package Information section, devices ordered with "-T" suffix are leaded; "+T" denotes lead(Pb)-free/RoHS-compliant versions. The SC70 outline is documented under land pattern no. 90-0208 and conforms to JEDEC MO-203 standards.
Can MXD1816XR26 operate reliably when VCC drops below 2.0V?
Yes - MXD1816XR26 guarantees valid RESET/RESET logic states down to VCC = +1.0V, as explicitly stated in the General Description and Absolute Maximum Ratings. This capability ensures deterministic reset behavior during deep brownout conditions, unlike many competing supervisors that cease valid output below 1.8V or 2.0V.
Is an external pullup resistor required when using MXD1816XR26's open-drain RESET output?
No external pullup is required. MXD1816XR26 integrates a 5.5kΩ internal pullup resistor between RESET and VCC, as confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table (RP = 3.5kΩ to 7.5kΩ for MXD1816) and Pin Descriptions. This enables direct interfacing with bidirectional μP reset pins (e.g., Motorola 68HC11) without additional components.
