Product details
Overview
CAT812TTBI-T3 from ON Semiconductor is a 4-pin SOT-143 microprocessor power supply supervisor with active HIGH reset output, 3.08 V ±5% threshold, 140–400 ms reset timeout, and manual reset input. It monitors +3.3 V systems in industrial embedded control, cable modems, and intelligent instrumentation where reliable brownout detection and glitch-immune reset assertion are required.
For engineers reviewing the CAT812TTBI-T3 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, validated SOT-143 terminal mapping, confirmed industrial temperature operation (−40°C to +85°C), and real-world alternative part comparisons for power-supply monitoring designs.
Technical Context
The CAT812TTBI-T3 implements a precision voltage reference and comparator-based reset generator with digital delay logic, asserting RESET high when VCC falls below 3.08 V and maintaining it for ≥140 ms after VCC recovers. Its AE2™ floating-gate technology enables stable threshold accuracy across temperature (30 ppm/°C tempco) and ensures valid reset state down to VCC = 1.0 V.
It features a push-pull RESET output capable of sourcing 150 µA at 0.8×VCC (for VCC > 1.8 V) and sinking 1.2 mA with VOL ≤ 0.3 V, plus a manual reset input (MR̄) with 20 kΩ internal pull-up, 10 µs minimum pulse width, and 100 ns glitch immunity - all in a 4-pin SOT-143 package rated for industrial ambient conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 3.08 V ±5% - precisely matches +3.3 V rail monitoring with guaranteed trip range 3.00–3.15 V over −40°C to +85°C |
| Reset Timeout Period | 140–400 ms - ensures microprocessor reset hold time exceeds boot initialization requirements across full temperature range |
| Supply Current | 6–15 µA - ultra-low ICC enables use in battery-backed or energy-constrained systems without significant load impact |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.2–5.5 V - supports operation during brownout recovery and compatibility with 2.5 V, 3.0 V, 3.3 V, and 5.0 V supplies |
| Reset Output Type | Push-pull active HIGH - eliminates need for external pull-up resistor and provides robust drive into MCU reset pins |
| Manual Reset Input | MR̄ with 20 kΩ internal pull-up - simplifies board layout by removing external biasing; logic LOW asserts RESET for ≥140 ms after release |
| Power Supply Immunity | Rejects transients ≤100 mV amplitude and ≤4 µs duration - prevents false resets from switching noise or ESD-induced supply dips |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar power-supply monitoring applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX812TUT+T | Same 3.08 V threshold, active HIGH reset, SOT-143 package, but higher ICC (15–25 µA) and no MR̄ input | Lacks manual reset capability - unsuitable for systems requiring field-service reset buttons or watchdog-triggered recovery | Select only if MR̄ is unused and lower supply current is not critical; verify reset timeout (140 ms min) matches design timing margin |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3 V threshold, active HIGH, SOT-23-6 package, 1.5 µA ICC, but requires external capacitor for adjustable timeout (default 200 ms) | Requires external timing capacitor and occupies larger footprint; offers tighter threshold accuracy (±0.5%) but no integrated MR̄ pull-up | Prefer for ultra-low-power designs where board space allows SOT-23-6 and external capacitor; avoid if MR̄ integration or SOT-143 footprint is mandatory |
Compared with MAX812TUT+T and TPS3808G33DBVR, CAT812TTBI-T3 uniquely combines SOT-143 compactness, integrated MR̄ pull-up, 6 µA ICC, and guaranteed 140 ms reset timeout - making it optimal for space-constrained industrial controllers needing field-service reset capability.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of CAT812TTBI-T3 and how is it specified over temperature?
The CAT812TTBI-T3 has a nominal reset threshold of 3.08 V with ±5% tolerance over the industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), corresponding to a guaranteed trip range of 3.00 V to 3.15 V. This is explicitly defined in the Electrical Operating Characteristics table of the MD-3005 Rev. T datasheet, and the device exhibits a 30 ppm/°C tempco to maintain stability across its full operating range. The CAT812TTBI-T3 uses AE2™ floating-gate technology to achieve this precision without external calibration.
Does CAT812TTBI-T3 support manual reset functionality, and what are the electrical requirements for the MR̄ pin?
Yes, CAT812TTBI-T3 includes a manual reset input (MR̄) on Pin 3 that asserts the active HIGH RESET signal when pulled LOW. The MR̄ pin features an internal 20 kΩ pull-up resistor, requires a logic LOW of <0.25×VCC to activate, and accepts minimum pulse widths of 10 µs. Glitches ≤100 ns are rejected, and RESET remains asserted for ≥140 ms after MR̄ returns HIGH. These specifications are confirmed in the PIN DESCRIPTION and ELECTRICAL OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS sections of the CAT812TTBI-T3 datasheet.
What is the minimum VCC voltage at which CAT812TTBI-T3 guarantees valid RESET output state?
The CAT812TTBI-T3 guarantees valid RESET output state down to VCC = 1.0 V, as stated in both the FEATURES and DETAILED DESCRIPTION sections of the MD-3005 Rev. T datasheet. Below 1.0 V, a pull-up resistor from RESET to VCC is recommended to ensure defined logic level. This capability enables reliable reset assertion during deep brownout conditions and supports safe shutdown sequencing in systems with multi-rail power architectures.
How does CAT812TTBI-T3 handle fast power supply transients, and what is its immunity specification?
CAT812TTBI-T3 rejects fast power supply transients ≤4 µs in duration and ≤100 mV in amplitude, as documented in the DETAILED DESCRIPTION and TYPICAL OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS sections. Its internal comparator architecture and digital delay logic prevent false resets from switching noise or ESD-induced dips. The maximum transient duration without causing reset decreases as the overdrive (VTH − VCC) increases - a behavior characterized in Figure 2 of the datasheet and validated across temperature.
Is CAT812TTBI-T3 pin-compatible with MAX812, and what are the key functional similarities?
Yes, CAT812TTBI-T3 is a direct replacement for MAX812 in industrial-temperature applications, as explicitly stated in the FEATURES and DESCRIPTION sections of the datasheet. Both devices share identical SOT-143 pinout, 3.08 V threshold, active HIGH reset output, manual reset input, 140 ms minimum timeout, and −40°C to +85°C operation. No PCB changes are required when substituting CAT812TTBI-T3 for MAX812 in existing designs meeting these constraints.
