Product details
Overview
MAX803SEXR/V+T 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 automotive and industrial systems. It asserts reset when VCC falls below 2.93V (±2.5% over −40°C to +125°C), holds reset for ≥140ms after VCC recovery, draws only 17µA typical supply current at +25°C, and guarantees valid reset operation down to VCC = +1V. It is AEC-Q100 qualified and housed in SC70-3 package.
For engineers reviewing the MAX803SEXR/V+T datasheet, MAX803SEXR/V+T pinout, MAX803SEXR/V+T application, or MAX803SEXR/V+T equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world use cases in automotive power monitoring, and validated alternative parts for design continuity and sourcing flexibility.
Technical Context
The MAX803SEXR/V+T implements a precision bandgap-based voltage comparator with 30ppm/°C tempco to detect VCC drops below its factory-trimmed 2.93V threshold. Its open-drain RESET output requires an external pullup resistor-enabling level-shifting across supply domains-and remains functional down to VCC = +1V, ensuring deterministic reset assertion during deep brownout.
It features built-in immunity to fast VCC transients: a 20µs negative-going glitch of 100mV below threshold will not trigger spurious reset. The device is fully specified over −40°C to +125°C, supports no external components, and integrates transient filtering via internal hysteresis and comparator delay logic.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX809SEUR+T | Same 2.93V threshold and push-pull active-low output, but in SOT23-3 package with −40°C to +105°C rating | Not AEC-Q100 qualified; lacks extended temperature support for under-hood use | Select when cost-sensitive industrial control designs do not require Grade 0 qualification or 125°C operation |
| TLV803SDBZR | 2.93V threshold, open-drain active-low, SC70-3, but rated −40°C to +125°C and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (not Grade 0) | Lower supply current (0.5µA typ), but reset timeout is 200ms min (vs. 140ms) and no guaranteed reset validity below 1.5V | Select for ultra-low-power battery applications where extended VCC validity is not required and Grade 0 qualification is optional |
Compared with MAX803SEXR/V+T, MAX809SEUR+T offers push-pull drive and lower cost but sacrifices automotive qualification and high-temp operation, while TLV803SDBZR trades guaranteed sub-1V reset validity and Grade 0 compliance for nanoamp quiescent current-making MAX803SEXR/V+T the sole choice for AEC-Q100 Grade 0 systems requiring deterministic reset down to 1V.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX803SEXR/V+T and how tightly is it specified?
The MAX803SEXR/V+T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 2.93V, with a tolerance of ±2.5% over the full operating temperature range of −40°C to +125°C. This specification is guaranteed by design and production-tested per AEC-Q100 requirements, ensuring consistent trip-point behavior across automotive thermal profiles without external calibration.
Does the MAX803SEXR/V+T require an external pullup resistor, and if so, what are the voltage and current constraints?
Yes, the MAX803SEXR/V+T requires an external pullup resistor on its open-drain RESET pin. The pullup may connect to any voltage between 0V and +6.0V, independent of VCC. The device sinks ≥1.2mA when asserted at VCC = 2.93V, so the resistor value must ensure sufficient current for the driven logic family-typically 10kΩ to 100kΩ for CMOS loads.
Is the MAX803SEXR/V+T qualified for automotive applications, and what specific AEC-Q100 grade does it meet?
Yes, the MAX803SEXR/V+T is explicitly AEC-Q100 qualified and certified to Grade 0 (−40°C to +125°C), as confirmed in the official Maxim Integrated datasheet revision 11 (October 2017). The "/V+" suffix denotes automotive qualification, and the "/T" indicates tape-and-reel packaging-both essential for automotive production traceability.
How long does the MAX803SEXR/V+T hold the RESET signal active after VCC recovers above the threshold?
The MAX803SEXR/V+T guarantees a minimum reset timeout of 140ms after VCC rises above the 2.93V threshold. This duration is internally generated and fully specified over −40°C to +125°C, eliminating dependency on external RC networks and ensuring reliable μP initialization across all operating conditions.
Can the MAX803SEXR/V+T operate reliably when VCC drops below 1.0V, and what happens to the RESET output in that condition?
The MAX803SEXR/V+T guarantees correct RESET output logic state down to VCC = +1.0V. Below 1.0V, the internal output transistor loses drive capability and the open-drain node becomes high-impedance-so the external pullup determines the voltage level. For applications requiring defined logic state down to 0V, a pull-down resistor on RESET is recommended, as documented in Maxim's application guidance.
