Product details
Overview
STM806RM6F from STMicroelectronics is a 3 V microprocessor supervisory IC with battery switchover, active-low push-pull RST output, manual reset (MR) input, power-fail comparator (PFI/PFO), and guaranteed reset assertion down to VCC = 1.0 V. It features 200 ms typical reset timeout (trec), 0.4 µA typical battery supply current, and operates from –40 °C to +85 °C for industrial embedded systems requiring reliable power monitoring and non-volatile SRAM backup.
For engineers reviewing the STM806RM6F datasheet, STM806RM6F pinout, STM806RM6F application, or STM806RM6F equivalent, key selection criteria include its MR-triggered reset behavior, VCC/VBAT switchover at 2.4 V, PFI threshold accuracy, trec timing stability over temperature, and compatibility with external LPSRAM retention during main supply failure.
Technical Context
The STM806RM6F implements a precision voltage monitor with a fixed 2.4 V switchover threshold (VSW) and a reset threshold (VRST) of 2.63 V (typ), both with hysteresis. Its internal comparator continuously monitors VCC against VRST to assert RST when undervoltage occurs, and independently compares PFI against VPFI (1.25 V typ) to drive PFO low on power-fail detection.
Unlike watchdog-equipped variants (e.g., STM802/804), the STM806RM6F omits WDI functionality but integrates dedicated MR logic with 40 kΩ internal pull-up and trec-based deassertion timing. Its VOUT switch uses a P-channel MOSFET with <100 Ω on-resistance, enabling seamless transition between VCC and VBAT (up to 5.5 V) while maintaining regulated output for external LPSRAM.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold (VRST) | 2.63 V (typ); guarantees RST assertion until VCC rises ≥2.63 V + hysteresis, ensuring clean MCU boot after brownout recovery. |
| Switchover Voltage (VSW) | 2.4 V (typ); triggers automatic VOUT source switch from VCC to VBAT, preserving SRAM data before system shutdown. |
| Reset Timeout (trec) | 200 ms (typ); holds RST low for minimum 200 ms after VCC rise or MR release, meeting ARM Cortex-M and legacy MCU reset timing requirements. |
| Battery Supply Current | 0.4 µA (typ); enables multi-year backup operation from coin-cell batteries without significant drain during VCC loss. |
| Power-Fail Input Threshold (VPFI) | 1.25 V (typ); provides early warning of VCC decay by asserting PFO when PFI falls below 1.25 V, allowing firmware-controlled save operations. |
| Operating Temperature | –40 °C to +85 °C; qualified for industrial environments including factory automation controllers and metering hardware. |
| VCC Range | 1.0 V to 5.5 V; supports reset assertion even at ultra-low VCC (e.g., capacitor discharge scenarios), critical for fail-safe shutdown. |
Pinout & Package
STM806RM6F is housed in an SO8 (Small Outline 8-pin) package per JEDEC MS-012, with 1.27 mm pitch and surface-mount footprint. Pin functions are validated per ST's DocID10519 Rev 10 Figure 5 and Table 3.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: PFO | Power-fail output | Push-pull output asserted low when PFI < 1.25 V or VCC < 2.4 V; drives interrupt lines or status LEDs directly without external pull-up. |
| 2: VOUT | Supply output for LPSRAM | Switched output sourced from VCC (≥2.4 V) or VBAT (<2.4 V); delivers up to 75 mA to retain external low-power SRAM during main supply loss. |
| 3: VCC | Main supply input | Primary 3 V system rail input; monitored for reset generation and switchover control; accepts 1.0–5.5 V range. |
| 4: RST | Active-low reset output | Push-pull output asserted low during VCC undervoltage, MR activation, or power-up; meets TTL/CMOS reset input thresholds. |
| 5: VSS | Ground reference | Common return path for all internal comparators, timers, and output drivers; requires low-impedance PCB connection. |
| 6: MR | Manual reset input | Active-low input with 40 kΩ internal pull-up; debounced via trec timer-no external RC needed; compatible with momentary switches. |
| 7: PFI | Power-fail input | Analog input referenced to VSS; monitors auxiliary rail (e.g., 3.3 V or 5 V) for early power-loss detection independent of VCC. |
| 8: VBAT | Backup battery input | Accepts 1.0–5.5 V backup source; isolated from VCC until switchover condition met; prevents battery discharge during normal operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guaranteed reset down to VCC = 1.0 V | Ensures deterministic MCU reset even during deep brownout or capacitor discharge, preventing undefined processor states. |
| Automatic battery switchover at 2.4 V | Enables zero-interruption SRAM retention by switching VOUT to VBAT before VCC drops below MCU operating voltage. |
| 0.4 µA typical battery current | Extends coin-cell life beyond 10 years in standby, supporting long-life industrial logging and smart meter applications. |
| Integrated 200 ms reset timeout generator | Eliminates need for external RC timing components, reducing BOM count and layout area while improving temperature stability. |
| Push-pull PFO and RST outputs | Drives interrupts and reset lines directly-no external pull resistors required-simplifying interface design and improving noise immunity. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Controller | Smart Electricity Meter |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX690EPA+ | Fixed 4.65 V reset threshold; no PFI/PFO; no battery switchover; 200 ms trec. | Lacks VCC/VBAT management and power-fail warning-suitable only for simple reset-only use cases. | Select only if system uses single-rail 5 V supply and does not require SRAM backup or early power-loss detection. |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Adjustable reset threshold (via external resistor); 200 ms trec; no MR input; no battery switchover; 2.5 µA quiescent current. | Requires external components for threshold setting; higher battery drain eliminates long-term coin-cell viability. | Prefer when precise reset voltage tuning is needed and backup battery is omitted or managed externally. |

FAQ
What is the function of the MR pin on STM806RM6F?
The MR (manual reset) pin is an active-low input with a 40 kΩ internal pull-up resistor. Driving MR low asserts the RST output for the duration of the low signal plus the 200 ms reset timeout (trec). It supports direct connection to a momentary switch to ground-no external debounce circuitry is required. MR remains functional even when VCC drops below 1.0 V, provided VBAT > 1 V.
Does STM806RM6F include a watchdog timer?
No. The STM806RM6F does not include a watchdog timer function. According to ST's DocID10519 Rev 10 Section 2.3, watchdog input (WDI) is explicitly excluded from STM704 and STM806 variants. This distinguishes it from STM802/804/805, which integrate a 1.6 s typical watchdog timeout. Designers requiring watchdog capability must select those alternatives or add external supervision.
How does the VOUT/VBAT switchover operate during power failure?
VOUT automatically switches from VCC to VBAT when VCC falls below the 2.4 V switchover threshold (VSW). The internal P-channel MOSFET connects VBAT to VOUT with <100 Ω on-resistance, sustaining external LPSRAM. Switchover occurs within 1 µs, and VOUT remains stable as long as VBAT ≥ 1.0 V. When VCC recovers above VSW + hysteresis (~2.46 V), VOUT reconnects to VCC.
Can PFI be used to monitor a 5 V auxiliary rail while VCC is 3.3 V?
Yes. PFI is a dedicated analog input referenced to VSS-not to VCC-so it can monitor any DC voltage rail (e.g., 5 V, 12 V) using a resistor divider to scale the signal below VPFI's 1.25 V threshold. When PFI drops below 1.25 V, PFO asserts low regardless of VCC level, enabling independent early-warning detection of auxiliary supply faults without affecting primary reset behavior.
