Ultra-Low-Power Voltage Detectors and
µP Supervisory Circuits
General Description
The MAX6461–MAX6466 family of ultra-low-power voltage
detectors and µP reset supervisory circuits monitors bat-
tery, power-supply, and system voltages. Each circuit
includes a precision bandgap reference, a comparator,
internally trimmed resistor networks that set specified trip
thresholds, and an internal 5% threshold hysteresis circuit
(see the
Functional Diagram).
Output is asserted when
V
CC
falls below the internal V
TH-
and remains asserted
until V
CC
rises above V
TH
+ (V

1.05). These
devices provide excellent circuit reliability and low cost
by eliminating external components and adjustments
when monitoring nominal system voltages from +1.6V to
+5.5V. The MAX6461/MAX6462/MAX6463 are voltage
detectors with a propagation delay of 17µs.
The MAX6464/MAX6465/MAX6466 are µP supervisory
circuits with a minimum reset timeout period of 150ms. All
devices are available with thresholds from +1.6V to +5.5V
in 100mV increments.
The family is available with three output stage options:
push-pull with active-low output, push-pull with active-
high output, and open drain with active-low output. These
devices are available in SC70 and SOT23 packages
specified over the -40°C to +125°C temperature range.

The MAX6461–MAX6466 are available in factory-set thresholds
from 1.6V to 5.5V in approximately 100mV increments. Choose
the desired voltage threshold suffix from Table 1 and insert it in
the blank spaces in the part number. There are 30 standard ver-
sions with a required order increment of 2500 pieces. Sample
stock generally is held on the standard versions only (Table 2).
Nonstandard versions require a 10k-piece order increment.
Contact factory for availability. All devices available in tape-and-
reel only.
Devices are available in both leaded and lead-free packaging.
Specify lead-free by replacing “-T” with “+T” when ordering.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

OUT
is asserted low when the
monitored input (V

high when the monitored input (V

OUT
is asserted low when the monitored input (V

Detailed Description
The MAX6461/MAX6462/MAX6463 voltage detectors
and the MAX6464/MAX6465/MAX6466 µP reset supervi-
sory circuits monitor battery, power-supply, and system
voltages from +1.6V to +5.5V. These devices consume
only 1µA of supply current with a 3.6V supply voltage.
Whenever V
CC
falls below the internal V
TH
- threshold,
the output is asserted and remains asserted until V
CC
rises above V
TH+
(V

= V

1.05). All devices have
±2.5%
threshold accuracy over temperature and offer
protection to short voltage transients. These devices are
ideal for low-cost and space-critical applications
because they do not require external components for
proper operation.
