Product details
Overview
MAX802RESA+ from Maxim Integrated is a 3.0V/3.3V microprocessor supervisory circuit with active-low reset output, precision voltage monitoring, 200ms reset timeout, 1.6s watchdog timer, and battery-backup switchover. It monitors VCC for brownout conditions, asserts RESET below 2.625V (R-suffix threshold), supports manual reset via MR pin, and switches VOUT to VBATT when VCC falls below 2.40V. Used in embedded controllers requiring reliable power-up sequencing and RAM backup.
For engineers reviewing the MAX802RESA+ datasheet, MAX802RESA+ pinout, MAX802RESA+ application, or MAX802RESA+ equivalent, key selection criteria include reset threshold accuracy (±2%), battery-switch hysteresis (25mV typical), VCC supply current (40µA typ), guaranteed RESET assertion down to VCC = 1V, and SO-8 package compatibility with industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C).
Technical Context
The MAX802RESA+ integrates a precision reset comparator with 2.625V nominal falling threshold (±2% tolerance), a 200ms internal reset timeout timer, and a non-disableable 1.6s watchdog timer cleared by WDI transitions. Its battery switchover circuit uses a 140Ω VBATT-to-VOUT switch activated when VCC drops below 2.40V (VSW) and VBATT > VCC, ensuring CMOS RAM retention before VOUT falls below 2.0V.
It features an open-drain PFO output tied to a 1.237V power-fail comparator with 10mV hysteresis, independent of reset logic; a manual reset input (MR) with 70µA internal pull-up; and dual-supply operation supporting VCC as low as 1.1V and VBATT up to 6.0V. All logic inputs (WDI, MR, PFI) accept TTL/CMOS levels.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold (VCC falling) | 2.59V to 2.70V - guarantees reset assertion before VCC drops below system's 3.0V ±10% supply minimum |
| Reset Timeout Period | 140ms to 280ms - ensures µP remains held in reset long enough for stable power rail settling |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.12s to 2.24s - detects µP lockup without requiring software intervention |
| VCC Supply Current | 40µA typical - enables ultra-low-power operation in battery-backed systems |
| Battery Supply Current | 0.4µA to 1µA - minimizes drain on lithium backup cells during extended standby |
| VBATT-to-VOUT On-Resistance | 140Ω typical - limits voltage drop during battery switchover to preserve RAM data integrity |
| Power-Fail Input Threshold | 1.212V to 1.262V - provides accurate undervoltage detection for auxiliary rails |
Pinout & Package
MAX802RESA+ is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (SO-8) package with standard 1.27mm pitch, RoHS-compliant lead-free finish (+ suffix), and industrial-grade thermal performance (derate 5.88mW/°C above +70°C).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VOUT (Pin 1) | Supply output for CMOS RAM | Switches between VCC and VBATT; connects to VCC when VCC > VRST, to VBATT when VCC < VSW and VBATT > VCC |
| VCC (Pin 2) | Main supply input | Primary power source (1.1V to 5.5V); powers internal circuitry and defines reset threshold reference |
| GND (Pin 3) | Ground reference | Common return path for all analog and digital functions; substrate connected to higher of VCC/VBATT |
| PFI (Pin 4) | Power-fail input | Monitors external voltage divider; triggers PFO low when input falls below 1.237V ±20mV |
| PFO (Pin 5) | Power-fail output | Open-drain signal indicating undervoltage condition on PFI or VCC < VSW |
| WDI (Pin 6) | Watchdog input | Edge-sensitive input; clears 1.6s timer on rising/falling transition; cannot be disabled |
| RESET (Pin 7) | Active-low reset output | Push-pull output asserted low during power-up, brownout, or watchdog timeout; holds low ≥200ms |
| VBATT (Pin 8) | Backup-battery input | Accepts 3.6V lithium cell; may exceed VCC; enables seamless RAM backup during main supply failure |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guaranteed RESET assertion to VCC = 1V | Ensures reliable reset hold during deep brownout, even when main supply collapses below 2.0V |
| 200ms reset timeout with restart-on-brownout | Prevents premature µP release during transient dips; timer resets each time VCC falls below threshold |
| Battery switchover at 2.40V (VSW) | Activates backup before VOUT drops below 2.0V RAM retention limit, extending data hold time |
| 1.237V PFI comparator with 10mV hysteresis | Provides noise-immune power-fail detection for secondary rails without external components |
| 40µA VCC supply current (typ) | Reduces quiescent load on primary supply, critical for long-life portable applications |
Applications
| Battery-Powered Embedded Controller | Critical µP Power Monitoring |

| Intelligent Instrument with Auxiliary Rail Monitoring | Portable Data Logger with SuperCap Backup |
Use Scenario: Handheld multimeter monitoring both 3.3V main rail and –5V analog rail, needing fault indication before µP executes calibration routines. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-role supervisor using PFI input to detect –5V rail collapse via resistor divider, driving PFO to trigger interrupt or assert MR. Use Value: 1.237V PFI threshold with 10mV hysteresis enables accurate –5V monitoring with <1% error, eliminating need for separate comparator. | Use Scenario: Environmental logger using 0.47F SuperCap charged from 5V USB port, requiring seamless transition to backup during field deployment.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX802TESA+ | Higher reset threshold (3.075V ±2%) optimized for 3.3V ±5% supplies; identical pinout, timing, and feature set | Suitable for systems where brownout margin must align with tighter 3.3V tolerance bands | Select MAX802TESA+ when main supply regulation is ±5%; use MAX802RESA+ for ±10% 3.0V systems |
| MAX804RESA+ | Active-high open-drain RESET output (inverse logic), same reset threshold, watchdog, and switchover specs | Required for µPs with active-high reset inputs or level-sensitive reset latching circuits | Choose MAX804RESA+ only if host µP demands active-high reset assertion; otherwise MAX802RESA+ provides direct push-pull compatibility |
Compared with MAX802TESA+, MAX802RESA+ offers lower reset threshold for wider brownout coverage in 3.0V systems, while MAX804RESA+ provides logic-inverted reset signaling-neither is pin-compatible with MAX802RESA+ due to differing RESET output topology and drive type.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for MAX802RESA+?
The MAX802RESA+ has a nominal reset threshold of 2.625V for VCC falling, with a guaranteed range of 2.59V to 2.70V (±2% tolerance). This value is specified for the R-suffix variant and applies across the full industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), ensuring consistent brownout detection in 3.0V ±10% systems.
Does MAX802RESA+ support battery backup with lithium cells exceeding VCC?
Yes, MAX802RESA+ explicitly supports VBATT > VCC operation. Its battery switchover circuit activates when VCC falls below 2.40V (VSW) and VBATT exceeds VCC, connecting VBATT to VOUT through a 140Ω internal switch. This allows direct use of 3.6V lithium coin cells without external diodes or regulators.
Can the watchdog timer in MAX802RESA+ be disabled?
No, the watchdog timer in MAX802RESA+ cannot be disabled. It is a fixed-function 1.6s timeout circuit (1.12s to 2.24s over temperature) that clears only on WDI transitions (rising or falling edges) or during RESET assertion. Tying WDI high or low will cause periodic resets every ~1.8s, making it unsuitable for applications requiring watchdog disable capability.
What is the function of the PFI and PFO pins on MAX802RESA+?
The PFI pin on MAX802RESA+ is a dedicated input for monitoring auxiliary power rails via a resistor divider, referenced to a precise 1.237V internal comparator. The PFO pin is an open-drain output that goes low when PFI falls below threshold or VCC drops below 2.40V, enabling power-fail interrupts or cascaded reset triggering without additional components.
Is MAX802RESA+ compatible with SO-8 PCB footprints used for MAX690 or MAX704 series?
Yes, MAX802RESA+ uses the same 8-pin SOIC (SO-8) package outline as MAX690 and MAX704 devices, with identical 1.27mm lead pitch and land pattern. However, pin functions differ: MAX802RESA+ has WDI on Pin 6 and RESET on Pin 7, whereas MAX690 places MR on Pin 6 and RESET on Pin 7-requiring schematic and layout verification before substitution.
