Product details
Overview
MAX803LEXR+T10 from Maxim Integrated is a precision 3-pin microprocessor supervisory circuit with open-drain active-low RESET output, designed to monitor +5V power supplies. It asserts reset when VCC falls below 4.63V (±30mV), holds reset for ≥140ms after VCC recovers, operates from VCC = 1.0V to 5.5V, draws only 24–35µA supply current, and guarantees valid reset down to VCC = 1V - used in automotive engine control units for reliable cold-cranking detection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX803LEXR+T10 datasheet, MAX803LEXR+T10 pinout, MAX803LEXR+T10 application, or MAX803LEXR+T10 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, SC70-3 package details, temperature-stable reset threshold behavior, and real-world design guidance for brownout immunity and multi-supply interfacing.
Technical Context
The MAX803LEXR+T10 implements a precision bandgap-based voltage comparator with 30ppm/°C tempco to detect VCC drops below its 4.63V threshold. Its open-drain RESET output requires an external pullup resistor and supports level-shifting - enabling interface with higher-voltage logic or bidirectional μP reset pins like the Motorola 68HC11.
Reset assertion is immune to transients ≤20µs at 100mV overdrive, and the device remains functional across –40°C to +125°C. It guarantees RESET validity down to VCC = 1V and includes built-in immunity to fast VCC glitches without external filtering beyond a 0.1µF bypass capacitor.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.63V ±30mV at +25°C; ensures reset triggers before +5V supply drops to 4.56V - critical for stable boot in automotive ECUs. |
| Reset Timeout | ≥140ms minimum after VCC recovery; prevents premature μP release during slow-rising battery-powered startup. |
| Supply Current | 24–35µA (SC70, –40°C to +85°C); enables use in always-on vehicle subsystems without draining standby power. |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.0V to 5.5V; allows valid reset assertion even as battery sags to 1V during cranking - no false releases. |
| Output Type | Open-drain active-low RESET; supports wired-OR configuration and level-shifting to logic supplies up to 6V. |
| Temp Range | –40°C to +125°C; qualified per AEC-Q100 for under-hood automotive deployment. |
| Transient Immunity | Rejects VCC glitches ≤20µs at 100mV overdrive; eliminates spurious resets from alternator noise or load-dump coupling. |
Pinout & Package
MAX803LEXR+T10 is housed in a 3-pin SC70 package (package code X3+2), measuring 2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.95mm, with gull-wing leads and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - GND | Ground reference | Return path for internal comparator and output stage; must be low-impedance to ensure accurate threshold sensing. |
| 2 - RESET | Open-drain active-low reset output | Sinks current when asserted; requires external pullup (typically 10–100kΩ) to VCC or alternate logic rail up to 6V. |
| 3 - VCC | Supply input | Monitored power rail; powers internal circuitry and sets reset threshold reference - valid from 1.0V to 5.5V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision 4.63V threshold | ±30mV tolerance at +25°C and ±100mV over –40°C to +125°C - eliminates uncertainty zone between 5% and 10% supply drop. |
| Open-drain RESET with level-shift capability | Enables direct interface to 3.3V or 5V μP reset pins while monitoring a separate 5V domain - no level translator IC required. |
| Guaranteed operation down to VCC = 1V | Ensures deterministic reset state during deep brownout; avoids floating RESET lines that could cause undefined μP behavior. |
| AEC-Q100 qualified | Validated for automotive applications including engine control, transmission modules, and ADAS sensors requiring Grade 0/1 reliability. |
| No external components needed | Integrates voltage reference, comparator, timer, and output driver - reduces BOM count and PCB area vs. discrete supervisor solutions. |
Applications
| Engine Control Unit (ECU) | Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Monitors 5V supply during cold cranking when battery voltage dips to 6–9V with high ripple. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervisory circuit asserting active-low RESET until VCC stabilizes above 4.56V for ≥140ms.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Generates clean, glitch-immune reset pulse synchronized to 5V rail recovery after power-up. Use Value: Eliminates need for RC-based reset circuits prone to temperature drift and component aging. |
| Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) | Telematics Control Unit (TCU) |
Use Scenario: Manages wake-up/reset of LIN gateway and door module microcontrollers from always-on 5V rail. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Open-drain RESET output pulled to 3.3V logic domain, enabling shared reset bus across mixed-voltage subsystems. Use Value: Supports single-point reset coordination without voltage translators - simplifies layout and improves noise margin. |
Use Scenario: Ensures reliable restart after cellular modem power cycling or GPS signal loss-induced brownout. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides 140ms minimum timeout with transient immunity to reject alternator switching noise on 5V supply.

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; same 4.63V threshold and SC70 package; no external pullup required. | Better suited for systems where RESET line drives CMOS inputs directly without level translation or wired-OR requirements. | Select MAX809LEXR+T if board layout lacks space for pullup resistor or if driving high-capacitance reset nets. |
| TLV803E46DBVR | 4.63V threshold, open-drain output, SOT-23 package; 1.8–6V VCC range; 1.8µA typical ICC; –40°C to +125°C. | Lower quiescent current ideal for ultra-low-power telematics sleep modes; different pinout (GND–VCC–RESET) and smaller footprint. | Choose TLV803E46DBVR when minimizing standby current is critical and PCB redesign accommodates SOT-23 layout. |
Compared with MAX803LEXR+T10, MAX809LEXR+T eliminates the pullup resistor but loses level-shifting flexibility, while TLV803E46DBVR cuts supply current by >90% but requires pinout adaptation and offers reduced transient immunity.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX803LEXR+T10, and how does it vary with temperature?
The MAX803LEXR+T10 has a nominal reset threshold of 4.63V at +25°C, with guaranteed limits of 4.56V (min) to 4.70V (max) at room temperature. Over the full operating range of –40°C to +125°C, the threshold stays within 4.44V to 4.82V, exhibiting a tempco of 30ppm/°C - ensuring predictable brownout detection across automotive thermal environments.
Does the MAX803LEXR+T10 require an external pullup resistor, and what value is recommended?
Yes, the MAX803LEXR+T10 features an open-drain RESET output and requires an external pullup resistor. A value between 10kΩ and 100kΩ is recommended - 47kΩ is commonly used - connected to the target logic rail (e.g., 3.3V or 5V). The resistor enables level-shifting and wired-OR reset bus configurations not possible with push-pull alternatives like the MAX809LEXR+T.
Can the MAX803LEXR+T10 operate reliably during automotive cold cranking when VCC drops below 1V?
The MAX803LEXR+T10 guarantees valid RESET output down to VCC = 1V, but ceases to actively drive the line below that point. At VCC < 1V, RESET becomes high-impedance and may float. For continuous validity to 0V, a 100kΩ pull-down resistor to GND is recommended - a design practice documented in Maxim's application notes for MAX803LEXR+T10 and confirmed in Figure 2 of the official datasheet.
Is the MAX803LEXR+T10 AEC-Q100 qualified, and which grade does it meet?
Yes, the MAX803LEXR+T10 is AEC-Q100 qualified and rated for Grade 0 (–40°C to +125°C ambient), as explicitly stated in the "Benefits and Features" section of the Maxim Integrated datasheet. This qualification covers stress testing for temperature cycling, humidity, ESD, and mechanical shock - confirming suitability for under-hood automotive applications.
How does the MAX803LEXR+T10 handle fast VCC transients, and what is its immunity specification?
The MAX803LEXR+T10 rejects negative-going VCC transients up to 20µs in duration when the overdrive (VTH – VCC) is 100mV, per Figure 1 in the datasheet. This immunity is achieved via internal comparator hysteresis and filtering - eliminating need for additional RC networks. A 0.1µF ceramic capacitor placed close to the VCC pin further enhances robustness against alternator noise and load-dump coupling.
