Product details
Overview
MAX800LEUE+ from Maxim Integrated is a microprocessor supervisory circuit with dual reset outputs (active-low RESET and active-high RESET), 4.65V typical reset threshold, ±2% power-fail accuracy, 200ms power-up reset timeout, and integrated chip-enable gating. It monitors VCC for brownout detection, provides battery switchover down to 1V VCC, and supports CMOS RAM write protection in industrial controllers and intelligent instruments.
For engineers reviewing the MAX800LEUE+ datasheet, MAX800LEUE+ pinout, MAX800LEUE+ application, or MAX800LEUE+ equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, real-world timing behavior, battery-backup mode operation, CE signal gating performance, and validated alternative options for critical μP power monitoring designs.
Technical Context
The MAX800LEUE+ integrates a precision voltage monitor with hysteresis (15mV), internal oscillator (100kHz nominal), and dual-mode watchdog timer (100ms short/1.6s long period). Its reset generator asserts both RESET and RESET outputs when VCC falls below 4.65V, maintaining validity down to VCC = 1V - guaranteed by open-drain architecture and external pulldown support.
Chip-enable gating uses a 75Ω series transmission gate between CE IN and CE OUT, delivering ≤10ns propagation delay (50Ω source, 50pF load) and automatic disable during reset assertion. Battery switchover activates when VCC < VBATT − 0.3V and VCC < reset threshold, routing VOUT to VBATT with ≤30Ω on-resistance at 2.0V VBATT.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Reset Threshold Voltage | 4.65V typical; ensures reliable μP reset initiation at standard +5V supply brownout levels |
| Power-Up Reset Timeout | 200ms typical; provides sufficient hold time for stable clock and memory initialization |
| Supply Current (Operating) | 30μA typical; enables low-power operation in always-on monitoring circuits |
| VCC-to-VOUT On-Resistance | 0.8–1.2Ω (MAX800L); maintains ≤200mV drop at 250mA load for clean system rail delivery |
| Power-Fail Accuracy | ±2% (guaranteed); supports precise low-battery warning and early power-fail detection |
| CE IN-to-CE OUT Propagation Delay | 6–10ns; compatible with high-speed μP bus timing without added latency |
| RESET Output Validity Range | Down to VCC = 1V; guarantees reset assertion integrity during deep brownout conditions |
Pinout & Package
MAX800LEUE+ is housed in a 16-pin TSSOP package (4.4mm × 5.0mm, 0.65mm pitch), RoHS-compliant and lead-free (denoted by '+' suffix).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 VBATT | Battery-Backup Input | Accepts 2.0–5.5V backup source; enables seamless switchover when VCC fails |
| 2 VOUT | Output Supply Voltage | Switched output tied to VCC or VBATT; powers downstream logic and serves as reference for all open-drain outputs |
| 3 VCC | Main Supply Input | +4.75V to +5.5V regulated input; monitored for reset generation and CE gating control |
| 4 GND | Ground Reference | 0V return path for all analog and digital functions; decoupling capacitor required at VOUT |
| 5 BATT ON | Battery-On Status Indicator | Active-high open-drain output signaling VBATT engagement; drives PNP base or status LED |
| 6 LOW LINE | Reset Comparator Buffer | Direct buffered output of reset comparator; sinks 3.2mA at 0.1V for direct interface to logic inputs |
| 7 OSC IN | External Oscillator Timing Input | Accepts capacitor or clock signal to configure watchdog/reset timeouts; biased internally when floating |
| 8 OSC SEL | Oscillator Mode Select | High = internal oscillator; low = external timing; 10μA pull-up enables default 1.6s/200ms timing |
| 9 PFI | Power-Fail Input | Non-inverting comparator input (1.25V threshold); detects supply sag or battery depletion with ±25nA leakage |
| 10 PFO | Power-Fail Output | Open-drain comparator output; asserts low on PFI < 1.25V; independent of reset logic |
| 11 WDI | Watchdog Input | Three-level input (high/mid/low); resets watchdog timer on any >100ns transition; disabled when floating (~1.6V) |
| 12 CE OUT | Chip-Enable Output | Gated CE signal; disabled during reset to prevent spurious writes to CMOS RAM/EEPROM |
| 13 CE IN | Chip-Enable Input | High-impedance when reset asserted; 75Ω series resistance in enabled mode for minimal loading |
| 14 WDO | Watchdog Output | Open-drain fault indicator; goes low on watchdog timeout and remains low until next WDI transition |
| 15 RESET | Active-Low Reset Output | Open-drain output; sinks 3.2mA at 0.1V; valid down to VCC = 1V; requires external pullup |
| 16 RESET | Active-High Reset Output | Open-drain inverse of RESET; high-impedance when inactive; used for μPs requiring active-high reset |

FAQ
What is the guaranteed reset threshold voltage for MAX800LEUE+?
The MAX800LEUE+ has a guaranteed reset threshold voltage of 4.50V minimum, 4.65V typical, and 4.75V maximum at TA = +25°C, with hysteresis of 15mV. This specification applies across the full operating temperature range (0°C to +70°C) and ensures consistent brownout detection for +5V systems. The MAX800LEUE+ reset threshold is distinct from the MAX800M's 4.4V rating and is explicitly validated in the device's Electrical Characteristics table.
Does MAX800LEUE+ support battery switchover, and what are the voltage conditions?
Yes, MAX800LEUE+ supports automatic battery switchover when two conditions are met: VCC must fall below the reset threshold (4.65V) and also drop below VBATT minus 0.3V (power-down hysteresis). In battery-backup mode, VOUT connects to VBATT through an internal PMOS switch with ≤30Ω on-resistance at 2.0V, and BATT ON asserts high to indicate switchover. The MAX800LEUE+ guarantees operation with VBATT as low as 2.0V.
Can MAX800LEUE+ drive CMOS RAM write protection without external components?
Yes, MAX800LEUE+ provides on-board chip-enable (CE) gating via its CE IN and CE OUT pins. When reset is asserted, the internal 75Ω transmission gate disables, preventing spurious writes to CMOS RAM or EEPROM. No external logic or transistors are needed - the MAX800LEUE+ handles CE signal blocking autonomously during power-up, brownout, or watchdog fault events.
What is the power-fail accuracy specification for MAX800LEUE+?
The MAX800LEUE+ guarantees power-fail comparator accuracy of ±2% over temperature and supply voltage, specifically for the MAX800L variant. This applies to the PFI input threshold of 1.25V (min 1.225V, max 1.275V at VCC = 5V), enabling precise low-battery detection and early power-loss warning in backup systems - a key differentiator from generic supervisors lacking tight tolerance specs.
How does the watchdog function behave when WDI is left unconnected on MAX800LEUE+?
When WDI is left unconnected on MAX800LEUE+, an internal voltage divider biases it to ~1.6V, placing it in the "mid-level" state that disables the watchdog timer. WDO remains high, and no reset pulses are generated. This behavior is documented in the datasheet's "Watchdog Input" section and confirmed across temperature; the MAX800LEUE+ requires no pullup/pulldown on WDI for safe watchdog disable.
