Product details
Overview
STM806TM6F from STMicroelectronics is a 3 V industrial-grade microprocessor supervisor IC with integrated battery switchover, active-low push-pull RST output, manual reset (MR) input, and power-fail comparator (PFI/PFO). It guarantees reset assertion down to VCC = 1.0 V, features 200 ms typical reset timeout (trec), and draws only 40 µA typical supply current. It is used in embedded systems requiring reliable power monitoring and non-volatile SRAM backup during main supply failure.
For engineers reviewing the STM806TM6F datasheet, STM806TM6F pinout, STM806TM6F application, or STM806TM6F equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed reset down to 1.0 V VCC, absence of watchdog timer (distinguishing it from STM690/802/804/805), MR-driven reset timing, PFI/PFO threshold behavior at 2.4 V switchover, and SO8 package compatibility with LPSRAM backup circuits.
Technical Context
The STM806 operates as a dedicated voltage-monitoring supervisor without watchdog functionality-confirmed by datasheet Section 2.3 stating "NOT available on STM704/795/806". Its core logic asserts RST low when VCC falls below VRST (typically 2.63 V), when MR is pulled low, or when PFI drops below VPFI (2.4 V) or VCC falls below VSW (2.4 V).
VOUT automatically switches between VCC and VBAT using an internal P-channel MOSFET; switchover occurs at VSW = 2.4 V with hysteresis, and Vccsw provides a push-pull indicator signal for external PMOS control. All I/Os-including MR (with 40 kΩ internal pull-up), PFO (push-pull), and RST-are fully specified for –40 °C to +85 °C operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold (VRST) | 2.63 V (typ), ensures reliable MCU reset initiation before brownout affects digital logic |
| Reset Timeout (trec) | 200 ms (typ), provides sufficient hold time for full system initialization after power recovery |
| VCC Switchover Voltage (VSW) | 2.4 V (typ), triggers automatic VOUT source switch from VCC to VBAT before SRAM data loss |
| Supply Current (ICC) | 40 µA (typ), enables long-term battery-backed operation without significant drain |
| Battery Supply Current (IBAT) | 0.4 µA (typ), minimizes backup battery depletion during extended VCC outage |
| Operating Temperature | –40 °C to +85 °C, qualified for industrial environments including factory automation and metering |
| Reset Output Type | Active-low push-pull RST, drives standard CMOS/TTL reset inputs without external pull-up |
Pinout & Package
STM806TM6F is housed in an 8-pin SO8 (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package per ST's DocID10519 Rev 10, Table 8 and Figure 5. Pin assignments are validated against Figure 5 (STM704/806 connections) and Table 3 (Pin description), confirming no WDI or E/ECON pins-consistent with its simplified supervisor role.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: PFO | Power-fail output | Push-pull active-low signal indicating imminent VCC collapse or PFI < 2.4 V; drives interrupt or NMI lines directly |
| 2: VOUT | Supply output voltage | Switched output delivering regulated VCC or VBAT to external LPSRAM; supports up to 75 mA load |
| 3: VCC | Main supply input | Primary 3 V system rail; monitored for reset assertion and switchover control |
| 4: RST | Active-low reset output | Push-pull output asserted low during VCC undervoltage, MR activation, or PFI event; meets MCU reset timing requirements |
| 5: VSS | Ground reference | Common return path for all internal comparators, timers, and output drivers |
| 6: MR | Manual reset input | Active-low input with 40 kΩ internal 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 2.4 V threshold |
| 8: VBAT | Backup battery input | Accepts 1.0–5.5 V backup source; automatically powers VOUT when VCC drops below 2.4 V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No watchdog circuitry | Eliminates false resets from software hangs while reducing BOM count and layout complexity |
| Guaranteed RST down to VCC = 1.0 V | Ensures deterministic reset behavior even during deep brownout, critical for flash write integrity |
| Automatic battery switchover at 2.4 V | Preserves LPSRAM contents without firmware intervention or external analog switches |
| Integrated PFI/PFO comparator | Provides early power-fail warning ≥100 µs before VCC crosses reset threshold, enabling graceful shutdown |
| MR with internal 40 kΩ pull-up | Supports direct push-button connection to ground-no external resistor required for basic reset functionality |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Controller | Smart Electricity Meter |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervision applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STM802TSAF | Includes watchdog timer (1.6 s typ); same RST, MR, PFI/PFO, and switchover functions | Required where MCU lockup detection is mandated; adds complexity if unused | Select STM802TSAF only if watchdog functionality is needed-STM806TM6F avoids unnecessary timer overhead and pin count |
| MAX691ACPA+ | 5 V tolerant; higher reset threshold (4.65 V); no PFI/PFO; uses external capacitor for trec | Suitable for legacy 5 V systems but incompatible with 3 V LPSRAM backup architecture | STM806TM6F is preferred for 3 V systems requiring integrated PFI/PFO and battery switchover-MAX691 lacks both |
Compared with STM802TSAF and MAX691ACPA+, STM806TM6F uniquely omits watchdog logic while retaining full PFI/PFO, MR, and VBAT switchover-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained 3 V industrial designs where deterministic reset suffices.

FAQ
Does STM806TM6F include a watchdog timer?
No. The STM806TM6F explicitly excludes watchdog functionality, as confirmed in Section 2.3 of the official datasheet (DocID10519 Rev 10): "Watchdog input (NOT available on STM704/795/806)". This distinguishes it from STM690/802/804/805 and simplifies design where software lockup detection is handled externally or not required.
What is the function of the Vccsw pin on STM806TM6F?
Vccsw is a push-pull output that goes high when VOUT switches to VBAT and low when VOUT reconnects to VCC. As stated in Section 1.1.8, it enables driving the gate of an external PMOS transistor to extend VOUT current capability beyond the internal 75 mA limit-critical for high-capacity SRAM banks or auxiliary peripherals.
Can STM806TM6F operate without a backup battery?
Yes. Per Section 1.1.11 and Figure 5, VBAT and VOUT may both be connected to VCC when no battery is used. In this configuration, VOUT remains tied to VCC, and all supervision functions-including RST assertion, MR reset, and PFI/PFO monitoring-operate normally without battery switchover.
Is the MR pin internally pulled up, and what is its resistance value?
Yes. Section 2.2 specifies a 40 kΩ internal pull-up resistor on the MR pin, allowing it to be left unconnected when unused. This eliminates the need for an external pull-up and supports direct connection of a momentary switch between MR and GND-debouncing is handled internally, with no external RC network required.
