Product details
Overview
MAX803LEXR-T from Maxim Integrated is a precision microprocessor supervisory circuit with open-drain active-low RESET output, designed for +5V systems requiring reliable power-on and brownout reset assertion. It features a 4.63V reset threshold (±2.5% over −40°C to +125°C), 140ms minimum reset timeout, 12μA supply current at +25°C, and guaranteed operation down to VCC = 1V. It is used in automotive ECUs and industrial controllers where high-temperature stability and transient immunity are critical.
For engineers reviewing the MAX803LEXR-T datasheet, MAX803LEXR-T pinout, MAX803LEXR-T application, or MAX803LEXR-T equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, SC70-3 package details, reset timing behavior under temperature variation, and validated alternatives for AEC-Q100-compliant designs.
Technical Context
The MAX803LEXR-T implements a precision bandgap-based voltage comparator monitoring VCC against a factory-trimmed 4.63V threshold, with ±30ppm/°C tempco and guaranteed accuracy across −40°C to +125°C. Its open-drain RESET output requires an external pullup and supports level-shifting-enabling interface with higher-voltage logic or bidirectional μP reset pins.
Reset assertion is held for ≥140ms after VCC rises above threshold, with timeout extended up to 460ms at high temperature. The device ignores transients ≤20μs (for 100mV overdrive) and maintains valid RESET state down to VCC = 1V, ensuring deterministic behavior during deep brownout conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.63V ±2.5% (−40°C to +125°C); ensures reset triggers before +5V supply drops below 4.5V nominal system margin. |
| Reset Timeout | ≥140ms min after VCC rise; guarantees full μP initialization before release, even under slow-rising supplies. |
| Supply Current | 12μA typical at +25°C; enables multi-year battery life in always-on automotive sensors and portable instrumentation. |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.2V to 5.5V; supports operation during deep undervoltage while maintaining reset assertion integrity down to 1V. |
| Output Type | Open-drain active-low RESET; allows wired-OR configuration, level-shifting, and direct interface with bidirectional μP reset I/O. |
| Temperature Range | −40°C to +125°C; qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 0, suitable for under-hood automotive and industrial control environments. |
| Package | 3-pin SC70 (X3+2); 1.25mm × 0.85mm footprint with 0.65mm pitch-optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts. |
Pinout & Package
MAX803LEXR-T is housed in a 3-pin SC70 package (package code X3+2), with exposed pad not electrically connected. The compact 1.25mm × 0.85mm outline supports high-density routing and automated assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - GND | Ground reference | Return path for internal comparator and output stage; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane. |
| 2 - RESET | Open-drain active-low reset output | Sinks current when asserted (low); requires external pullup resistor (typically 10–100kΩ) to defined logic-high voltage. |
| 3 - VCC | Supply input | Monitored power rail; powers internal circuitry and sets reset threshold reference-no external decoupling required beyond standard 0.1μF. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision 4.63V threshold | ±2.5% tolerance over full −40°C to +125°C range ensures consistent reset point across automotive thermal cycles. |
| 140ms minimum reset timeout | Guaranteed hold time eliminates race conditions during slow-rising +5V rails in engine control modules. |
| Open-drain RESET with level-shift capability | Enables single-supervisor reset distribution across mixed-voltage domains (e.g., 3.3V μP controlled by 5V monitored rail). |
| Valid RESET down to VCC = 1V | Prevents undefined logic states during deep brownout-critical for fail-safe shutdown sequencing in safety-critical systems. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualification | Validated for automotive under-hood applications including transmission control units and body electronics. |
Applications
| Engine Control Unit (ECU) | Industrial PLC CPU Module |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Monitors main 5V supply in diesel ECU during cold cranking, where battery sag causes repeated 4.2–4.8V excursions.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary reset source holding CPU in reset for ≥140ms post-power-up, synchronized with FPGA configuration. Use Value: Eliminates need for discrete RC reset networks-reducing BOM count and improving long-term timing stability. |
| Automotive ADAS Camera Module | Portable Medical Infusion Pump |
Use Scenario: Powers vision processor and MIPI CSI-2 serializer from isolated 5V rail; subject to load-dump and reverse-battery stress. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Reset supervisor with transient-immune comparator, asserting RESET during 100mV VCC dips lasting ≤20μs.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX809LEXR-T | Push-pull active-low RESET output; no external pullup required; same 4.63V threshold and SC70 package. | Preferred where board space prohibits adding pullup resistor or where RESET loading must be minimized. | Select MAX809LEXR-T if system uses only +5V logic and does not require level-shifting or wired-OR reset bus. |
| TPS3808G125DBVR | 4.63V threshold, push-pull output, 1.6μA quiescent current, but rated only to +105°C (not AEC-Q100). | Suitable for commercial/industrial controllers but not automotive under-hood deployment. | Choose TPS3808G125DBVR only for cost-sensitive non-automotive applications needing ultra-low ICC. |
Compared with MAX803LEXR-T, MAX809LEXR-T simplifies layout by eliminating the pullup resistor yet sacrifices level-shifting flexibility; TPS3808G125DBVR offers lower current but lacks automotive qualification and open-drain versatility-making MAX803LEXR-T the sole choice for AEC-Q100-compliant, multi-rail reset architectures.

FAQ
What is the reset threshold voltage of the MAX803LEXR-T and how stable is it over temperature?
The MAX803LEXR-T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 4.63V with ±2.5% tolerance over −40°C to +125°C. Its temperature coefficient is 30ppm/°C, meaning threshold drift is limited to ±0.014V across the full range-ensuring predictable reset timing in engine control and industrial automation applications where supply margins are tight.
Does the MAX803LEXR-T require an external pullup resistor, and what value is recommended?
Yes, the MAX803LEXR-T features an open-drain RESET output and requires an external pullup resistor. A 10kΩ to 100kΩ resistor connected to the target logic rail (e.g., 3.3V or 5V) is recommended. Lower values improve noise immunity but increase current draw; higher values reduce power but may slow edge rates-10kΩ is optimal for most automotive and industrial interfaces using the MAX803LEXR-T.
Can the MAX803LEXR-T operate reliably when VCC drops below 1.2V?
The MAX803LEXR-T is fully specified down to VCC = 1.2V over temperature, and its RESET output remains valid (asserted low) down to VCC = 1V. Below 1V, the output transitions to high-impedance-but since most μPs are nonfunctional below 1V, this behavior is intentional and documented in the datasheet. The MAX803LEXR-T does not guarantee operation below 1.2V, and VCC < 1.2V is outside absolute maximum ratings.
Is the MAX803LEXR-T pin-compatible with other members of the MAX803/MAX809/MAX810 family?
No-while all share the same SC70-3 package footprint and pinout (GND, RESET, VCC), the MAX803LEXR-T has an open-drain output, whereas MAX809LEXR-T and MAX810LEXR-T use push-pull outputs. Swapping them without circuit modification risks incorrect logic levels or excessive current draw. The MAX803LEXR-T is functionally distinct and must be selected based on required output topology-not as a drop-in replacement.
What automotive qualification does the MAX803LEXR-T meet, and which test grades apply?
The MAX803LEXR-T is AEC-Q100 qualified per Grade 0 (−40°C to +125°C ambient), with full testing including HTOL, ESD, latch-up, and temperature cycling. It carries the "/V+" suffix denoting automotive qualification, and its SC70 package meets lead-free RoHS requirements. This makes the MAX803LEXR-T suitable for powertrain, chassis, and ADAS applications where extended temperature operation and long-term reliability are mandated.
