Product details
Overview
MAX803SEXR+T10 from Maxim Integrated is a precision 3-pin microprocessor supervisory circuit with open-drain active-low RESET output, designed to monitor +2.93V supply rails in embedded systems. It asserts reset when VCC falls below 2.93V (±2.5% over temperature), maintains reset for ≥140ms after VCC recovers, draws only 17µA typical supply current at +25°C, operates from -40°C to +125°C, and guarantees valid reset output down to VCC = +1V - ideal for automotive-grade power monitoring in engine control units.
For engineers reviewing the MAX803SEXR+T10 datasheet, MAX803SEXR+T10 pinout, MAX803SEXR+T10 application, or MAX803SEXR+T10 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, SC70-3 package details, reset timing behavior under brownout conditions, and validated alternatives for 2.93V-supervised microcontroller systems requiring AEC-Q100-compliant supervision.
Technical Context
The MAX803SEXR+T10 implements a precision bandgap-based voltage comparator with 30ppm/°C tempco to detect VCC drops below its factory-trimmed 2.93V threshold. Its internal reset timer ensures minimum 140ms assertion time after VCC recovery, independent of supply ramp rate.
As an open-drain device, it requires an external pullup resistor - enabling level-shifting to higher-voltage logic domains (e.g., 5V RESET signal generation from a 3.3V system) and seamless interfacing with bidirectional μP reset pins like those on Motorola 68HC11 derivatives.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.93V ±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C - ensures reliable reset initiation before critical logic voltage margin is violated |
| Reset Timeout | ≥140ms minimum after VCC rises above threshold - meets μP power-on initialization timing requirements |
| Supply Current | 17µA typical at +25°C, VCC = 3.3V - enables use in battery-powered automotive sensors without significant drain |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive applications per AEC-Q100 Grade 0 |
| VCC Range | 1.2V to 5.5V - supports operation during deep brownout while maintaining reset validity down to 1V |
| Output Type | Open-drain active-low RESET - allows flexible pullup to any voltage ≤6V and shared-bus reset arbitration |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset supervision applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX809SEUR+T | Same 2.93V threshold and open-drain output, but in SOT23-3 package with -40°C to +105°C rating | Not AEC-Q100 qualified; limited to cabin electronics (infotainment, HVAC) rather than under-hood use | Select when cost-sensitive industrial designs require identical electrical behavior but relaxed temperature grade |
| TLV803SDBZR | Texas Instruments part with 2.93V threshold, push-pull active-low output, 1.8–6V VCC range, and -40°C to +125°C rating | No open-drain flexibility; requires dedicated 2.93V pullup; lacks transient immunity spec beyond 10µs | Choose where board space permits SOT23-3 and system design does not require level-shifting or bidirectional reset support |
Compared with MAX803SEXR+T10, MAX809SEUR+T sacrifices automotive qualification and high-temp operation for lower unit cost and wider SOT23 availability, while TLV803SDBZR trades open-drain versatility for tighter VCC range control and simplified layout - making MAX803SEXR+T10 uniquely suited for AEC-Q100-compliant, multi-rail automotive reset architectures.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX803SEXR+T10 and how stable is it over temperature?
The MAX803SEXR+T10 has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 2.93V with ±2.5% tolerance over the full operating range of -40°C to +125°C. Its bandgap reference achieves 30ppm/°C tempco, ensuring threshold drift remains within specification across automotive under-hood thermal cycles - critical for repeatable brownout detection in MAX803SEXR+T10-based systems.
Does the MAX803SEXR+T10 require an external pullup resistor, and what value is recommended?
Yes, the MAX803SEXR+T10 features an open-drain RESET output and requires an external pullup resistor. A value between 10kΩ and 100kΩ is recommended - 47kΩ is typical - connected to the target logic voltage (e.g., 3.3V or 5V). This ensures sufficient rise time while limiting current draw; the MAX803SEXR+T10 can sink ≥1.2mA when asserted.
Is the MAX803SEXR+T10 qualified for automotive applications, and what standard does it meet?
Yes, the MAX803SEXR+T10 is AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualified, certified for operation from -40°C to +125°C ambient temperature. It meets stress test requirements for automotive under-hood deployment, including HTOL, TC, and ESD testing - explicitly documented in Maxim's datasheet revision 11 (October 2017) for MAX803SEXR+T10.
How long does the MAX803SEXR+T10 hold reset active after VCC recovers above the threshold?
The MAX803SEXR+T10 guarantees a minimum reset timeout of 140ms after VCC rises above the 2.93V threshold. This internally timed delay is fully specified over temperature and ensures μP firmware initializes correctly - no external RC network is needed, and the timing remains consistent regardless of VCC ramp rate or noise.
Can the MAX803SEXR+T10 operate reliably when VCC drops below 1V, and what happens to the RESET output?
The MAX803SEXR+T10 guarantees correct RESET logic state down to VCC = +1V. Below 1V, the output stage loses sinking capability and becomes high-impedance. To maintain defined logic during deep brownout, a pull-down resistor (e.g., 100kΩ to GND) on the RESET line is recommended - ensuring MAX803SEXR+T10 systems avoid floating reset states that could cause undefined μP behavior.
