Product details
Overview
LM809M3-2.93 from Texas Instruments is a 3-pin SOT-23 microprocessor supervisory circuit with a factory-programmed 2.93 V reset threshold, active-low RESET output, 240 ms typical reset timeout, and 15 µA typical supply current. It monitors VCC in brown-out, power-up, and power-down conditions for 3.3 V systems and ensures reliable µP reset assertion.
For engineers reviewing the LM809M3-2.93 datasheet, LM809M3-2.93 pinout, LM809M3-2.93 application, or LM809M3-2.93 equivalent, key selection criteria include precision 2.93 V threshold tolerance (±30 mV at 25°C), guaranteed RESET validity down to VCC ≥1 V, immunity to VCC transients ≤20 µs, and compatibility with bidirectional µP reset pins via 4.7 kΩ series resistor.
Technical Context
The LM809M3-2.93 implements a precision voltage comparator with internal reference to monitor VCC against its 2.93 V threshold. When VCC falls below this value, the active-low RESET output is driven low and remains asserted for a minimum of 140 ms-240 ms typical-after VCC rises above threshold.
Its design includes transient immunity circuitry rejecting negative-going VCC glitches up to 20 µs duration when overdriven by 100 mV below threshold, and supports operation across –40°C to +105°C with ±30 ppm/°C temperature coefficient on the reset threshold.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.93 V ±30 mV at 25°C; tight tolerance ensures reliable detection of 3.3 V supply brown-out at ~89% nominal. |
| Reset Timeout | 240 ms typical; guarantees sufficient hold time for µP initialization before release. |
| Supply Current | 15 µA typical at 25°C; enables use in battery-powered equipment without significant drain. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +105°C; qualified for industrial and automotive under-hood environments. |
| VCC Range | 1.0 V to 5.5 V; RESET output remains valid even as supply collapses to 1 V. |
| Output Type | Active-low open-drain RESET; sinks 1.2 mA at 0.3 V drop, compatible with standard CMOS logic inputs. |
| Transient Immunity | Rejects VCC glitches ≤20 µs when 100 mV below threshold; reduces false resets in noisy power rails. |
Pinout & Package
LM809M3-2.93 is housed in a 3-pin SOT-23 (DBZ) package measuring 2.92 mm × 1.30 mm, with gull-wing leads and RoHS-compliant matte tin (SN) finish. Pin 1 is GND, Pin 2 is RESET (active-low output), and Pin 3 is VCC (supply input).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pin 1) | Ground reference | Provides return path for internal comparator and output stage; must be connected to system ground plane for stable threshold reference. |
| RESET (Pin 2) | Active-low reset output | Drives low during fault conditions; requires external pull-up for high-impedance µP interfaces; sinks 1.2 mA at 0.3 V max. |
| VCC (Pin 3) | Supply voltage input | Monitored supply rail; accepts 1.0–5.5 V; internal circuitry remains functional down to 1 V to ensure valid RESET state during collapse. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision 2.93 V threshold | Factory-trimmed to ±30 mV at 25°C and ±70 mV over full temperature range, enabling accurate monitoring of 3.3 V supplies. |
| Guaranteed 240 ms reset pulse | Ensures µP reset hold time exceeds boot ROM execution time, preventing premature release and system lockup. |
| Low 15 µA quiescent current | Minimizes battery drain in portable instrumentation and remote sensors where duty cycle is critical. |
| VCC transient rejection | Immune to 20 µs negative spikes at 100 mV below threshold, eliminating need for additional filtering in moderate-noise environments. |
| Valid RESET down to VCC = 1 V | Prevents floating reset line during deep brown-out; maintains defined logic state until supply reaches functional level. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Control | Smart Energy Metering |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Programmable logic controllers operating in factory-floor environments with fluctuating 3.3 V I/O rails. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monitors 3.3 V supply and asserts active-low RESET to ARM Cortex-M µP during voltage sags caused by motor switching noise. Use Value: Prevents firmware corruption by ensuring µP remains held in reset until supply stabilizes above 2.93 V with 240 ms margin. |
Use Scenario: Revenue-grade electricity meters with isolated 3.3 V MCU domain powered from flyback converter. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides brown-out detection on meter's 3.3 V rail and triggers safe shutdown sequence before EEPROM write corruption occurs. Use Value: 15 µA supply current extends battery backup runtime; ±30 ppm/°C threshold drift ensures accuracy across –25°C to +70°C field deployment. |
| Automotive Body Control Module | Portable Medical Sensor Hub |
|
Use Scenario: BCMs in 12 V vehicle architectures using LDO-regulated 3.3 V domain for CAN interface and lighting control ICs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervises 3.3 V rail during cold-crank events where input drops to 6 V, causing LDO output to sag near 2.93 V. Use Value: 240 ms timeout prevents spurious resets during brief sags; –40°C to +105°C rating matches under-dash thermal requirements. |
Use Scenario: Handheld ECG sensor with coin-cell battery and ultra-low-power 3.3 V MCU subsystem. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Detects battery voltage decay below 2.93 V and holds µP in reset to avoid erratic ADC sampling or BLE transmission errors. Use Value: 15 µA quiescent current adds negligible load; active-low output directly interfaces with µP's dedicated reset pin without level-shifting. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX809TRD3-T | 2.93 V threshold, same SOT-23-3 package, but 1.25 µA max supply current vs LM809M3-2.93's 15 µA typical; 200 ms min reset timeout. | Better suited for ultra-low-power battery applications where sub-µA standby matters; less tolerant of VCC transients (no specified immunity spec). | Select MAX809TRD3-T only if <1 µA supply current is mandatory and transient noise is minimal. |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Adjustable threshold (0.4–5 V) via external resistor divider; 350 ms fixed timeout; 1.1 µA typical supply current; same SOT-23-6 footprint (not pin-compatible). | Enables flexible voltage monitoring across multiple rails; requires PCB redesign due to 6-pin layout and different pinout. | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR only when multi-threshold flexibility justifies layout change and added BOM complexity. |
Compared with MAX809TRD3-T and TPS3808G33DBVR, LM809M3-2.93 offers optimal balance of precision 2.93 V detection, proven transient immunity, and direct SOT-23-3 drop-in replacement capability for legacy 3.3 V µP designs without layout modification.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of LM809M3-2.93 and how does it vary with temperature?
The LM809M3-2.93 has a factory-programmed nominal reset threshold of 2.93 V, with tolerance of ±30 mV at 25°C. Over the full operating range (–40°C to +105°C), threshold variation is limited to ±70 mV, corresponding to a temperature coefficient of ±30 ppm/°C. This ensures consistent brown-out detection for 3.3 V systems across industrial environments without calibration.
Does LM809M3-2.93 provide a valid reset signal when VCC drops below 1 V?
No-LM809M3-2.93 guarantees RESET output validity only down to VCC ≥1 V. Below 1 V, the internal circuitry cannot maintain defined logic states, and RESET may float. For continuous validity to ground, TI recommends adding a 100 kΩ pull-down resistor from RESET to GND, as documented in the LM809 datasheet Figure 7.
What is the minimum and typical reset timeout duration for LM809M3-2.93?
LM809M3-2.93 provides a minimum reset active timeout of 140 ms and a typical value of 240 ms after VCC rises above the 2.93 V threshold. This timeout is fully specified over temperature and ensures sufficient hold time for microprocessor initialization sequences, including flash memory access and peripheral configuration.
Can LM809M3-2.93 interface directly with a microprocessor that has a bidirectional reset pin?
Yes-LM809M3-2.93 can interface with bidirectional µP reset pins (e.g., Motorola 68HC11) using a 4.7 kΩ series resistor between RESET and the µP pin, as shown in Figure 9 of the datasheet. This prevents contention when the µP drives the line high while LM809M3-2.93 asserts low, ensuring clean reset assertion without latch-up risk.
What package type and lead finish does LM809M3-2.93 use, and is it RoHS compliant?
LM809M3-2.93 uses the SOT-23 (DBZ) package with 3 gull-wing leads, 2.92 mm × 1.30 mm body size, and matte tin (SN) lead finish. It is RoHS compliant (lead-free), rated MSL Level-1 at 260°C peak reflow, and supplied in 1000-piece tape-and-reel format with Q3 pin-1 orientation.
