General Description
The MAX6806/MAX6807/MAX6808 precision voltage
detectors are ideal for accurate monitoring of power
supplies in digital systems. They provide circuit reliability
and reduce total cost by eliminating external components
and adjustments.
The MAX6806/MAX6807/MAX6808 assert a reset signal
whenever the supply voltage (VCC) falls below the factory-
preset, ±2% accurate threshold. Internal hysteresis
ensures stable switching. The MAX6806/MAX6807/
MAX6808 are available in 4.6V and 2.6V thresholds (2.3V
is also available for the MAX6806 only). The MAX6806
features an active-low, push-pull RESET output; the
MAX6807 features an active-high, push-pull RESET
output; and the MAX6808 features an active-low, open-
drain RESET output. RESET is valid for VCC down to 1V
(MAX6806/MAX6808), and RESET (MAX6807) is guar-
anteed for VCC down to 1.2V.
The MAX6806/MAX6807/MAX6808 are available in
3-pin SC70, 3-pin SOT23, 8-pin µMAX, 8-pin SO, and
4-pin SOT143 packages. The SOT143 package includes
a manual-reset input.

Pin Description
Typical Operating Characteristics
Detailed Description
Reset Output
The MAX6806 voltage detector features an active-low,
push-pull RESET output, while the MAX6807 features an
active-high, push-pull RESET output. Unlike micropro-
cessor (µP) supervisory circuits that offer a reset timeout
period, the MAX6806 and MAX6807 RESET goes high
and RESET goes low virtually immediately once VCC
exceeds the reset threshold. If a brownout occurs (VCC
falls below the reset threshold), RESET goes low and
RESET goes high. RESET is guaranteed to be a logic
low for VCC ≥ 1V and RESET is guaranteed to be a logic
high for VCC ≥ 1.2V.
The MAX6808 features an active-low, open-drain RESET
output. The output sinks current when VCC falls below
the reset threshold. Connect a pullup resistor from
RESET to any supply voltage up to 6V (Figure 1). Select
a resistor value large enough to provide a logic low and
small enough to provide a logic high while supplying all
input and leakage currents connected to the RESET
line. A 100kW resistor is sufficient in applications driving
high-impedance loads.
The manual reset input (MR, 4-pin SOT143 package) can
also initiate a reset (see Manual Reset Input section).
Manual-Reset Input
Many applications require manual-reset capabilities,
allowing an operator, a test technician, or external logic
circuitry to initiate a reset. A logic high on MR asserts
a reset and remains asserted while MR is high. This
input has an 80kW pulldown resistor, so the input can be
left unconnected if not used. Connect a normally open
momentary switch from MR to VCC to create a manu-
al-reset function. If MR is driven from long cables or if the
device is used in a noisy environment, connecting a 0.1µF
capacitor from MR to ground provides noise immunity.
Hysteresis
The MAX6806/MAX6807/MAX6808 feature internal
hysteresis that creates two trip points: one for the rising
supply voltage and one for the falling supply voltage
(Figure 2). The hysteresis prevents the output from
oscillating (chattering) when VCC is near the reset
threshold.
Reset Threshold Accuracy
The MAX6806/MAX6807/MAX6808 are ideal for
sys-tems using a 5V ±5%, 3V ±5%, or 2.5V ±5% power
supply with ICs specified for 5V ±10%, 3V ±10%, or
2.5V ±10%, respectively. The reset is guaranteed to
assert after the power supply falls out of regulation,
but before power drops below the minimum specified
oper-ating voltage range for the system ICs.

Applications Information
Negative-Going VCC Transients
In addition to asserting a reset signal during power-up,
power-down, and brown-out conditions, the MAX6806/
MAX6807/MAX6808 are immune to short-duration, neg-
ative-going VCC transients.
Figure 3 displays typical transient durations vs. reset-com-
parator overdrive for which the MAX6806/MAX6807/
MAX6808 do not generate a reset pulse. The graph was
generated using a negative-going pulse applied to VCC,
starting 0.5V above the actual reset threshold and ending
below it by the magnitude indicated (reset-comparator
overdrive). The graph indicates the maximum pulse width
a negative-going VCC transient can have without causing
a reset pulse. As the magnitude of the transient increases
(goes further below the reset threshold), the maximum
allowable pulse width decreases. A 0.1µF capacitor
mounted as close as possible to VCC provides additional
transient immunity.
Ensuring a Valid Reset Output Down to
VCC = Ground
When VCC falls below 1V, the MAX6806/MAX6808
RESET output no longer sinks current—it becomes
an open circuit. Therefore, high-impedance CMOS
logic inputs connected to RESET can drift to
undetermined voltages. This presents no problem in most
applications, since most circuitry is inoperative when
VCC is below 1V. In applications where RESET must
be valid down to ground, add a pulldown resistor to
RESET so any stray leakage currents flow to ground,
holding RESET low (Figure 4). Select R1 to be large
enough not to load RESET and small enough to pull
RESET to ground. For most applications, 100kW will not
load RESET and will pull RESET to ground. Similarly,
if RESET (MAX6807) must be valid below 1.2V, add a
pullup resistor to RESET.

Interfacing to µPs with Bidirectional
Reset Pins
µPs with bidirectional reset pins (such as the Motorola
68HC11 series) can contend with push-pull RESET
outputs, resulting in indeterminate logic levels. Use the
MAX6808 with the open-drain RESET when interfacing
to this type of controller.
