Product details
Overview
STM6779LWB6F from STMicroelectronics is a triple ultra-low-voltage supervisor IC with push-button reset and delayed manual reset capability. It monitors primary (VCC1), secondary (VCC2), and adjustable tertiary (RSTIN) supply rails, features open-drain active-low RST output, 13.2/210/900 ms power-up reset delay options, and operates from –40 °C to +85 °C. Used in battery-powered networking equipment for reliable power-on sequencing and brownout recovery.
For engineers reviewing the STM6779LWB6F datasheet, STM6779LWB6F pinout, STM6779LWB6F application, or STM6779LWB6F equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-supply monitoring thresholds (4.63 V–1.58 V on VCC1; 3.08 V–0.79 V on VCC2), 0.626 V internal reference for RSTIN, MRC-capable delayed manual reset, and SOT23-6 open-drain RST output compatibility with bi-directional processor reset pins.
Technical Context
The device implements three independent voltage comparators: one for VCC1 with factory-programmed threshold (e.g., 2.93 V), one for VCC2 (e.g., 2.63 V), and one for RSTIN referenced to a 0.626 V internal bandgap. Reset assertion occurs if any monitored voltage falls below its threshold or MR is pulled low.
Reset release is synchronized to trec delay (13.2/210/900 ms typ) after all supplies exceed thresholds and MR returns high. The MRC pin enables user-configurable manual reset delay via external capacitor, with minimum 6 µs delay when left open - supporting noise-immune push-button interfaces in portable systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC1 Threshold | Factory-programmed 2.93 V ±1.5% - ensures reliable CPU core supply monitoring at 3.3 V nominal rail. |
| VCC2 Threshold | Factory-programmed 2.63 V ±1.5% - supports I/O supply supervision for 2.5 V or 2.8 V domains. |
| RSTIN Reference | 0.626 V internal reference - enables precise adjustment of third-rail reset threshold via resistor divider. |
| Reset Delay (trec) | 210 ms typical - provides sufficient hold time for FPGA configuration or flash boot sequence. |
| Supply Current | 11 µA typical at 3.6 V - minimizes quiescent drain in always-on battery backup circuits. |
| Operating Temp | –40 °C to +85 °C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded networking and set-top box applications. |
| RST Output Type | Active-low open drain - allows wired-OR reset bus sharing and compatibility with bidirectional processor reset pins. |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-6 (WB) package: 6-pin surface-mount, 1.3 mm × 2.9 mm footprint, 1.45 mm height, lead-free and RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: RST | Active-low open-drain reset output | Drives low during fault or MR assertion; requires external pull-up to VCC1 (e.g., 10 kΩ); compatible with bidirectional processor reset I/O. |
| 2: VCC1 | Primary supply voltage input | Monitors main system rail (e.g., 3.3 V); powers internal circuitry and sets RST pull-up reference. |
| 3: MRC | Manual reset delay input | Accepts external capacitor to VSS; configures manual reset delay from 6 µs to >4 s (e.g., 3.3 µF → ~4 s). |
| 4: MR | Push-button reset input | Active-low with 50 kΩ internal pull-up; debounced by design; connects to momentary switch to VSS. |
| 5: RSTIN | Adjustable reset comparator input | High-impedance input referenced to 0.626 V; threshold set by external resistor divider for third supply (e.g., 1.2 V, 1.8 V). |
| 6: VSS | Ground reference | Common return path for VCC1, VCC2 (internal), and all comparators; must be low-impedance connection. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple-supply monitoring | Simultaneous supervision of VCC1 (core), VCC2 (I/O), and RSTIN (auxiliary rail) prevents partial-power-up failures. |
| Configurable reset delay | Three factory-set trec options (13.2/210/900 ms) ensure timing alignment with diverse boot sequences (MCU, FPGA, DSP). |
| MRC-based manual reset delay | Capacitor-tuned delay eliminates need for external timer ICs or firmware debounce in handheld and remote-control interfaces. |
| Guaranteed RST state down to 0.8 V | Ensures valid reset assertion even during deep brownout - critical for nonvolatile memory write protection. |
| Low 11 µA quiescent current | Extends battery life in always-on supervisory functions (e.g., smart meter backup power, IoT sensor sleep mode). |
Applications
| Industrial Networking Gateway | Portable Medical Monitor |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Monitors 3.3 V CPU core, 2.5 V PHY interface, and 1.2 V ADC reference rails during cold start and line transient events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Triple-rail supervisor enforcing synchronized reset release after all supplies stabilize; trec = 210 ms aligns with Ethernet PHY initialization. Use Value: Prevents packet corruption and PHY lockup by ensuring MAC and PHY reset simultaneously only after stable power. | Use Scenario: Supervises 3.0 V microcontroller, 2.8 V display driver, and 1.8 V sensor signal chain in battery-operated ECG unit. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides fail-safe reset during battery voltage sag; MRC delays manual reset to avoid accidental reboots during clinical use. Use Value: Eliminates spurious restarts from button press bounce while maintaining <100 ms response to intentional reset. |
| Set-Top Box Power Management | Smart Home Hub Controller |
Use Scenario: Tracks 12 V DC/DC output, 3.3 V SoC rail, and 1.1 V DDR termination voltage across thermal cycling and load steps. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Detects undervoltage on DDR termination rail (via RSTIN + divider) to prevent memory bus corruption before full boot. Use Value: Avoids uncorrectable memory errors during warm reboot by asserting reset before DDR controller initializes. | Use Scenario: Manages reset sequencing for Zigbee SoC (3.3 V), Wi-Fi module (3.0 V), and USB-C PD controller (5.0 V) in multi-rail hub design. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Uses RSTIN to monitor USB-C VBUS presence as system enable signal; triggers controlled startup only when power is valid. Use Value: Enables safe hot-plug operation without firmware intervention - hardware-enforced dependency between power and subsystem enable. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar triple-supply supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single-supply monitor (3.3 V only); no VCC2 or RSTIN inputs; fixed 200 ms trec; push-pull RST output. | Lacks dual/third-rail monitoring; unsuitable for multi-rail brownout detection; requires external logic for multi-input reset arbitration. | Select only when supervising one rail and open-drain RST is not required. |
| MAX6816EUT+T | Single-channel push-button debouncer with 14 ms delay; no voltage monitoring; no RST output; 5-pin SOT23. | No supply supervision capability; serves only as MR input conditioner - must pair with separate supervisor IC. | Choose only as supplemental MR front-end, not as functional replacement for STM6779LWB6F. |
Compared with TPS3808G33DBVR and MAX6816EUT+T, STM6779LWB6F uniquely integrates triple-rail monitoring, open-drain RST, and capacitor-configurable MRC delay in a single SOT23-6 package - eliminating board space, BOM count, and timing coordination overhead in compact multi-rail systems.

FAQ
What is the function of the MRC pin on STM6779LWB6F?
The MRC (Manual Reset Delay) pin accepts an external capacitor to ground, enabling user-defined delay between MR button press and RST assertion. With a 3.3 µF capacitor, delay is ~4 s; with no capacitor (open), minimum delay is 6 µs. This eliminates firmware debounce and supports noise-immune mechanical reset in portable devices.
Can STM6779LWB6F monitor a 1.2 V supply using RSTIN?
Yes. Using the 0.626 V internal reference, a resistor divider (e.g., R1 = 100 kΩ, R2 = 100 kΩ) on RSTIN sets threshold to 1.252 V. The comparator triggers RST when input drops below this value. Divider ratio must maintain ≥100 kΩ Thevenin impedance to avoid loading error per datasheet Section 1.1.7.
Why does STM6779LWB6F use open-drain RST instead of push-pull?
Open-drain RST enables wired-OR reset bus architectures where multiple supervisors or processors share one reset line. It avoids contention with bidirectional processor reset pins and allows flexible pull-up to any compatible voltage (e.g., VCC1 or higher rail), essential in mixed-voltage SoC designs.
Is STM6779LWB6F qualified for automotive applications?
No. STM6779LWB6F is specified for industrial temperature range (–40 °C to +85 °C) and lacks AEC-Q100 qualification. For automotive use, ST offers the pin-compatible STM6779MWY6F (SOT23-5) and STM6779MWY6F variants with extended temp range and automotive qualification - consult ST's automotive product selector for validated alternatives.
