Product details
Overview
STM806TM6E from STMicroelectronics is a 3 V industrial-grade microprocessor supervisory IC with manual reset input, automatic battery switchover, power-fail comparator (PFI/PFO), and guaranteed RST assertion down to VCC = 1.0 V. It provides push-pull active-low RST output, operates from –40 °C to +85 °C, draws only 40 µA typical supply current, and supports external LPSRAM backup via VOUT/VBAT switching.
For engineers reviewing the STM806TM6E datasheet, STM806TM6E pinout, STM806TM6E application, or STM806TM6E equivalent, this device is selected for reliable power monitoring in battery-backed embedded systems where deterministic reset timing, low quiescent current, and seamless VCC-to-VBAT transition are critical - especially in metering, industrial controllers, and data loggers requiring nonvolatile SRAM retention during main power loss.
Technical Context
The STM806 implements a precision voltage comparator monitoring VCC against a 2.63 V reset threshold (VRST) with hysteresis, asserting RST for ≥200 ms (trec) after VCC recovery or MR release. Its PFI/PFO circuit detects falling VCC below 2.4 V (VSW) or PFI < VPFI (1.25 V), generating early power-fail warning with push-pull PFO output.
No watchdog timer or chip enable gating is present - distinguishing it from STM804/805/795 variants. The MR input features an internal 40 kΩ pull-up and accepts TTL/CMOS logic levels; RST remains valid even at VCC = 1.0 V when VBAT > 1 V, enabling robust reset behavior during brownout conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold (VRST) | 2.63 V ±1.5% - guarantees RST assertion before MCU fails; stable over temperature and supply noise. |
| Reset Timeout (trec) | 200 ms (typ) - ensures sufficient hold time for full system initialization after power recovery. |
| Supply Current (ICC) | 40 µA (typ) - enables long-term operation in battery-backed applications without significant drain. |
| Battery Current (IBAT) | 0.4 µA (typ) - minimizes backup battery depletion during extended VCC outage. |
| Power-Fail Threshold (VPFI) | 1.25 V - triggers PFO low before VCC drops below critical MCU operating voltage. |
| VCC Switchover Voltage (VSW) | 2.4 V - initiates automatic VOUT connection to VBAT before system reset occurs. |
| Operating Temperature | –40 °C to +85 °C - qualified for industrial environments including factory automation and outdoor metering. |
Pinout & Package
STM806TM6E is housed in an 8-pin SO8 (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package, 3.9 mm × 4.9 mm body, 1.27 mm pitch, RoHS-compliant lead-free finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: PFO | Power-fail output | Push-pull active-low signal indicating imminent VCC failure; drives interrupt or NMI line directly. |
| 2: VOUT | Supply output for LPSRAM | Switched output connected to VCC above 2.4 V, or to VBAT below 2.4 V; supplies up to 75 mA to external SRAM. |
| 3: VCC | Main supply input | Primary 3 V system rail; monitored for reset and switchover; requires local 0.1 µF decoupling. |
| 4: RST | Active-low reset output | Push-pull output asserted low during VCC undervoltage, MR activation, or power-up; compatible with standard MCU reset inputs. |
| 5: VSS | Ground reference | System ground return; must be low-impedance path shared with MCU and LPSRAM. |
| 6: MR | Manual reset input | Active-low input with internal 40 kΩ pull-up; debounced internally - no external RC needed for push-button use. |
| 7: PFI | Power-fail input | Monitors auxiliary rail or scaled VCC; asserts PFO when voltage falls below 1.25 V; connect to GND if unused. |
| 8: VBAT | Backup battery input | Accepts 1.8–5.5 V backup source; automatically powers VOUT when VCC drops below 2.4 V; connect to VCC if no battery used. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guaranteed RST assertion down to VCC = 1.0 V | Ensures reset remains active through deep brownout, preventing MCU lockup even with weak or sagging 3 V rail. |
| Automatic battery switchover at 2.4 V | Transfers LPSRAM supply to VBAT before reset triggers, preserving memory contents without software intervention. |
| Low 40 µA supply current | Reduces system-level power budget impact - critical for always-on industrial sensors and battery-operated edge devices. |
| Integrated PFI/PFO comparator | Provides early power-fail warning (1.25 V threshold) with push-pull output, eliminating need for external comparator and pull-up. |
| MR with internal 40 kΩ pull-up | Enables direct push-button connection without external components; supports noise immunity via optional 0.1 µF capacitor to GND. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX809SEUR+T | Single VRESET = 2.93 V; no PFI/PFO, no MR, no battery switchover; SOT-23-3 package. | Limited to basic reset-only use cases; cannot support LPSRAM backup or early power-fail warning. | Select only when minimal footprint and cost are prioritized over battery management and fault prediction. |
| TPS3808G12DBVR | Adjustable reset threshold (1.22–5.5 V); 350 ms tREC; no battery switchover; includes watchdog timer. | Requires external resistor divider for threshold setting; lacks integrated VOUT/VBAT switching for SRAM. | Choose when programmable reset voltage and watchdog supervision are required, but battery backup is handled separately. |
Compared with MAX809SEUR+T and TPS3808G12DBVR, STM806TM6E uniquely integrates battery switchover, PFI/PFO, and MR in an SO8 package - delivering complete power supervision for LPSRAM-based systems without additional discrete components or layout area.

FAQ
What is the function of the Vccsw pin on STM806TM6E?
Vccsw is a push-pull output that goes high when VOUT switches to VBAT (indicating main power loss) and low when VOUT reconnects to VCC. It is designed to drive the gate of an external PMOS transistor to extend VOUT current capability beyond the internal 75 mA limit - essential for powering larger LPSRAM arrays or peripheral circuits during backup mode.
Does STM806TM6E include a watchdog timer?
No. Unlike STM804/805/802 variants, STM806TM6E does not incorporate a watchdog timer - as confirmed in Section 2.3 of the datasheet ("Watchdog input (NOT available on STM704/795/806)"). Its supervision relies solely on VCC monitoring, manual reset (MR), and power-fail detection (PFI/PFO).
Can VBAT exceed VCC on STM806TM6E?
Yes. The datasheet explicitly states "VBAT may exceed VCC" in Section 1.1.11. The internal P-channel MOSFET switch isolates VCC and VBAT paths, allowing safe operation with higher-voltage backup sources (e.g., 3.6 V Li-ion) while VCC remains at 3.0 V - enabling flexible battery chemistry selection without level-shifting circuitry.
How is the reset timeout (trec) determined, and is it adjustable?
trec is fixed at 200 ms (typical) and internally generated - no external components or configuration pins affect its duration. This value is guaranteed across temperature and supply voltage per Table 7 (DC and AC characteristics), ensuring consistent reset hold time for reliable MCU initialization regardless of board-level variations or environmental conditions.
