Ultra-Low-Power Voltage Detectors and
µP Supervisory Circuits
General Description
Features
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

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.
o AOailable in Three ꢀutput ꢀptions: Push-Pull
(ActiOe Low/ActiOe High) and ꢀpen Drain (ActiOe
Low)
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.
o Fully Specified from -40°C to +1±5°C
o Small SC70 and SꢀT±3 Packages
Ordering Information
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.

Applications
Precision Battery Monitoring
Load Switching/Power Sequencing
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.
