Voltage Detectors
General Description
The MAX6806/MAX6807/MAX6808 precision voltage
detectors are ideal for accurate monitoring of power
supplies in digital systems. They provide circuit reliabili-
ty and reduce total cost by eliminating external compo-
nents and adjustments.
The MAX6806/MAX6807/MAX6808 assert a reset signal
whenever the supply voltage (V
CC
) 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 fea-
tures 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
out-
put.
RESET
is valid for V
CC
down to 1V (MAX6806/
MAX6808), and RESET (MAX6807) is guaranteed for V
CC
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.

MAX6806/MAX6807/MAX6808
_______________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 micro-
processor (µP) supervisory circuits that offer a reset
timeout period, the MAX6806 and MAX6807
RESET
goes high and RESET goes low virtually immediately
once V
CC
exceeds the reset threshold. If a brownout
occurs (V
CC
falls below the reset threshold),
RESET
goes low and RESET goes high.
RESET
is guaranteed
to be a logic low for V
CC
≥
1V and RESET is guaran-
teed to be a logic high for V
CC
≥
1.2V.
The MAX6808 features an active-low, open-drain
RESET
output. The output sinks current when V
CC
falls below
the reset threshold. Connect a pull-up 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 100kΩ 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
sec-
tion).
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 80kΩ pull-down resistor, so the input may be left
unconnected if not used. Connect a normally open
momentary switch from MR to V
CC
to create a manual-
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 hys-
teresis 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 oscil-
lating (chattering) when V
CC
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 V
CC
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 V
CC
transients.
Figure 3 displays typical transient durations vs. reset-
comparator overdrive for which the MAX6806/MAX6807/
MAX6808 do
not
generate a reset pulse. The graph was
generated using a negative-going pulse applied to V
CC
,
starting 0.5V above the actual reset threshold and end-
ing below it by the magnitude indicated (reset-compara-
tor overdrive). The graph indicates the maximum pulse
width a negative-going V
CC
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 V
CC
pro-
vides additional transient immunity.
Ensuring a Valid Reset Output Down to
V
CC
= Ground
When V
CC
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 applica-
tions, since most circuitry is inoperative when V
CC
is
below 1V. In applications where
RESET
must be valid
down to ground, add a pull-down 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, 100kΩ will not load
RESET
and will pull
RESET
to ground. Similarly, if
RESET (MAX6807) must be valid below 1.2V, add a
pull-up resistor to RESET.
