Product details
Overview
CAT812LTBI-T3 from ON Semiconductor is a 4-pin SOT-143 microprocessor power supply supervisor with active HIGH reset output, 4.63 V ±5% threshold, 140–400 ms reset timeout, and 6–20 µA supply current over -40°C to +85°C. It monitors +5.0 V supplies in embedded control systems and provides manual reset input for system-level recovery.
For engineers reviewing the CAT812LTBI-T3 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include reset polarity compatibility, VCC operating range down to 1.2 V, industrial temperature rating, and SOT-143 footprint constraints in space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The CAT812LTBI-T3 implements a precision voltage reference and comparator-based reset generator with digital delay logic to ensure minimum 140 ms reset assertion after VCC rises above 4.63 V. Its push-pull RESET output drives high actively and remains valid down to VCC = 1.2 V.
It features internal 20 kΩ MR pull-up, 10 µs minimum MR pulse width, and immunity to transients ≤100 ns. The AE2™ floating-gate technology enables stable threshold accuracy across temperature (30 ppm/°C tempco) and process variation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.63 V ±5% - precisely matches +5.0 V rail monitoring with guaranteed trip window of 4.50 V to 4.75 V over full temperature range |
| Reset Timeout | 140–400 ms - ensures reliable processor initialization timing across voltage ramp rates and temperature extremes |
| Supply Current | 6–20 µA - ultra-low quiescent draw supports battery-backed or energy-sensitive applications |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.2–5.5 V - enables supervision during brownout conditions and startup sequencing down to 1.2 V |
| MR Input Logic | Active LOW with 20 kΩ internal pull-up - simplifies external interface; open-circuit default is inactive state |
| Output Type | Push-pull active HIGH - eliminates need for external pull-up resistor and ensures defined logic level at all times |
| Temperature Range | -40°C to +85°C - fully specified for industrial-grade reliability without derating |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT-143 (4-pin, JEDEC TO-253 compliant), 2.90 mm × 2.64 mm × 1.22 mm body, NiPdAu lead finish, RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Ground reference for internal voltage reference and comparator; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| 2 | RESET | Active HIGH push-pull output; asserts high when VCC < 4.63 V and holds for ≥140 ms after VCC recovery |
| 3 | MR | Manual reset input; logic LOW forces RESET high regardless of VCC; internal 20 kΩ pull-up ensures safe default |
| 4 | VCC | Monitored power supply input; also powers internal circuitry; valid operation requires ≥1.2 V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision 4.63 V threshold | ±5% tolerance over -40°C to +85°C ensures accurate +5.0 V rail monitoring without calibration |
| Active HIGH push-pull RESET | Eliminates external pull-up resistor, reduces BOM count, and guarantees known logic state at power-up and brownout |
| 140 ms minimum reset timeout | Meets Intel-compatible reset timing requirements for x86 and ARM-based microprocessors |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar power supply supervision applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX812LCSA+ | Same 4.63 V threshold, active HIGH reset, but uses SO-8 package (larger footprint) and higher 15 µA typical ICC | Preferred where board space permits larger package and legacy MAX design reuse is required | Select MAX812LCSA+ only if SO-8 layout exists and SOT-143 rework is not feasible |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3 V fixed threshold, not 4.63 V; adjustable version available but requires external resistor network | Suitable for +3.3 V systems only; not drop-in for +5.0 V monitoring without redesign | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR only when migrating to lower-voltage rails or requiring adjustable threshold flexibility |
Compared with MAX812LCSA+ and TPS3808G33DBVR, CAT812LTBI-T3 delivers identical 4.63 V supervision in a compact SOT-143 package with lowest ICC, making it optimal for space- and power-constrained +5.0 V industrial applications.

FAQ
What is the reset threshold voltage of CAT812LTBI-T3 and how is it specified?
The CAT812LTBI-T3 has a nominal reset threshold voltage of 4.63 V with ±5% tolerance over the full industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C). This means the actual trip point falls between 4.50 V and 4.75 V under worst-case conditions, ensuring precise +5.0 V rail supervision without external calibration. The threshold is factory-trimmed using AE2™ floating-gate technology for long-term stability.
Does CAT812LTBI-T3 support operation below 1.0 V on VCC?
No - CAT812LTBI-T3 is fully specified for operation from VCC = 1.2 V to 5.5 V. While the datasheet notes reset validity down to 1.0 V for functional assurance, the guaranteed operating range starts at 1.2 V. Below 1.2 V, the internal reference and comparator may not behave predictably, and the device does not guarantee correct RESET output state. For sub-1.2 V supervision, alternate solutions are recommended.
How does the manual reset (MR) input function on CAT812LTBI-T3?
The MR input on CAT812LTBI-T3 is an active LOW signal with an internal 20 kΩ pull-up resistor. When pulled LOW, it forces the RESET output HIGH immediately, independent of VCC level. RESET remains HIGH for at least 140 ms after MR returns HIGH. If left unconnected, the internal pull-up holds MR at logic HIGH, disabling manual reset. No external resistor is needed unless stronger pull-up is required.
What is the purpose of the push-pull active HIGH output in CAT812LTBI-T3?
The push-pull active HIGH output in CAT812LTBI-T3 eliminates the need for an external pull-up resistor, reducing BOM cost and PCB area. It actively drives RESET high during fault conditions and low during normal operation, ensuring a defined logic level at all times - unlike open-drain outputs that require external biasing. This simplifies interface with modern microcontrollers having dedicated reset inputs expecting active HIGH assertion.
Can CAT812LTBI-T3 replace MAX812 in existing designs?
Yes - CAT812LTBI-T3 is explicitly documented as a direct replacement for MAX812 in industrial-temperature applications. Both share identical 4.63 V threshold, active HIGH reset, SOT-143 package, pinout, and electrical specifications including 140 ms timeout and 6–20 µA supply current. No PCB changes are required, and the NiPdAu lead finish meets RoHS compliance requirements matching modern MAX812 variants.
