Product details
Overview
MAX803ZEXR+T from Maxim Integrated is a 3-pin SC70-packaged microprocessor supervisory circuit with open-drain active-low RESET output, designed to monitor +2.5V power supplies. It asserts reset when VCC falls below 2.32V (typ), holds reset for ≥140ms after VCC recovers, operates from -40°C to +125°C, draws only 17µA (typ) at 2.5V, and guarantees valid reset down to VCC = 1V - used in automotive and industrial embedded systems requiring high-temperature reliability.
For engineers reviewing the MAX803ZEXR+T datasheet, MAX803ZEXR+T pinout, MAX803ZEXR+T application, or MAX803ZEXR+T equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal operating limits, SC70 package footprint details, reset timing behavior under brownout, and validated alternatives for +2.5V supply monitoring in AEC-Q100-compliant designs.
Technical Context
The MAX803ZEXR+T implements a precision voltage comparator with 30ppm/°C tempco to detect VCC drops below its 2.32V threshold, triggering an open-drain RESET signal that remains asserted for ≥140ms after VCC exceeds the threshold. Its internal design ensures immunity to fast transients (e.g., ≤20µs negative glitches at 100mV overdrive) and maintains correct logic state down to VCC = 1V.
Unlike push-pull variants (MAX809/MAX810), the MAX803ZEXR+T requires an external pullup resistor on RESET, enabling level-shifting across supply domains - e.g., monitoring a +2.5V rail while driving a +3.3V or +5V reset line - and supports bidirectional μP reset pins such as those found in Motorola 68HC11 derivatives.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.32V (typ) at +25°C; ensures reliable reset assertion before +2.5V supply drops to 2.22V (min) over full -40°C to +125°C range |
| Reset Timeout Duration | ≥140ms (min) after VCC recovery; prevents premature μP release during slow-rising or noisy power rails |
| Supply Current | 17µA (typ) at VCC = 2.5V, TA = -40°C to +85°C; enables multi-year battery operation in portable instrumentation |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C; qualified per AEC-Q100 for under-hood automotive and industrial control applications |
| VCC Range | 1.2V to 5.5V; allows functional reset assertion even during deep brownout conditions down to 1.2V |
| RESET Output Type | Open-drain active-low; requires external pullup but supports mixed-voltage system reset coordination |
| Reset Comparator Tempco | 30ppm/°C; minimizes threshold drift across temperature, critical for stable reset margin in wide-temp environments |
Pinout & Package
The MAX803ZEXR+T is housed in a 3-pin SC70 package (package code X3+2), measuring 2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.95mm, with gull-wing leads compatible with standard reflow profiles (peak 260°C). Pin 1 is GND, Pin 2 is RESET (open-drain), and Pin 3 is VCC.
| 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 detection |
| 2 (RESET) | Open-drain active-low reset output | Sinks current when asserted; requires external pullup to define high-level voltage and enable multi-supply reset coordination |
| 3 (VCC) | Supply input | Powers internal circuitry and defines monitored rail; accepts 1.2V–5.5V; valid reset guaranteed down to 1.2V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High-accuracy reset threshold | 2.32V ±0.03V (typ) at +25°C ensures reset occurs within 5% of nominal +2.5V supply, eliminating uncertainty zones near 10% dropout |
| Extended temperature operation | Functional from -40°C to +125°C with full reset timing and threshold specification - suitable for engine control units and industrial PLCs |
| Transient immunity | Immune to VCC glitches ≤20µs duration at 100mV overdrive, reducing false resets in electrically noisy environments |
| Low-power supervision | 17µA typical supply current at 2.5V enables use in always-on battery-backed systems without compromising runtime |
| Open-drain flexibility | Allows RESET line to be pulled up to any voltage ≤6.0V, enabling interoperability between +2.5V monitored rail and higher-voltage logic domains |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX809ZEXR+T | Push-pull active-low RESET output; same 2.32V threshold, SC70 package, -40°C to +125°C rating | Eliminates need for external pullup resistor but cannot level-shift across supply domains | Select when board layout prohibits external components or when driving CMOS inputs directly without voltage translation |
| TPS3808G12DBVR | 2.32V threshold, push-pull active-low, SOT23-3, -40°C to +125°C, 1.6µA quiescent current | Lower supply current and tighter threshold tolerance (±0.5%), but lacks transient immunity specs beyond 10µs | Select when ultra-low power dominates design priority and transient environment is well-controlled via PCB layout |
Compared with MAX803ZEXR+T, MAX809ZEXR+T removes external component dependency but sacrifices voltage-domain flexibility, while TPS3808G12DBVR reduces current draw significantly yet offers less documented glitch immunity - making MAX803ZEXR+T optimal where open-drain coordination across mixed supplies is required.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX803ZEXR+T and how does it vary with temperature?
The MAX803ZEXR+T has a nominal reset threshold of 2.32V at +25°C, with a minimum of 2.22V and maximum of 2.42V over the full -40°C to +125°C operating range. Its temperature coefficient is tightly controlled at 30ppm/°C, meaning threshold drift is limited to approximately ±0.01V across the entire temperature span - ensuring consistent brownout detection in automotive and industrial applications where supply margins are narrow.
Does the MAX803ZEXR+T require an external pullup resistor, and if so, what value is recommended?
Yes, the MAX803ZEXR+T requires an external pullup resistor on its open-drain RESET pin because it cannot drive high actively. A 10kΩ to 100kΩ resistor is typical; 47kΩ is commonly used when pulling up to the same +2.5V supply being monitored. If level-shifting to a higher voltage (e.g., +3.3V or +5V), the resistor value must be selected to limit sink current to <1.2mA at the target voltage while maintaining adequate rise time for the driven logic family.
Can the MAX803ZEXR+T operate reliably at VCC = 1.2V, and what happens to the RESET output below that?
Yes, the MAX803ZEXR+T is fully specified down to VCC = 1.2V and guarantees correct RESET logic state (low when asserted, high-impedance when deasserted) for VCC ≥ 1.0V. Below 1.0V, the internal output transistor loses gate drive capability and RESET transitions to a high-impedance state - which is why a pullup resistor is essential to maintain defined logic levels in systems where VCC may decay toward 0V during power-down sequences.
Is the MAX803ZEXR+T AEC-Q100 qualified, and which stress test grades does it meet?
Yes, the MAX803ZEXR+T is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications. It meets Grade 0 (−40°C to +150°C) for temperature range and passes all required stress tests including HTOL (high-temperature operating life), TC (temperature cycling), and AC/DC parametric stability - as confirmed in the official Maxim Integrated datasheet revision 11 (October 2017) under "Benefits and Features" and "Ordering Information" sections.
How does the MAX803ZEXR+T handle fast transients on the VCC line, and what is the maximum glitch duration it ignores?
The MAX803ZEXR+T is designed to ignore fast negative-going VCC transients: at 100mV overdrive (i.e., VCC dropping 100mV below the 2.32V threshold), it tolerates glitches up to 20µs without asserting reset. This immunity is documented in Figure 1 of the datasheet and applies across the full temperature range. A 0.1µF bypass capacitor placed close to the VCC pin further enhances robustness against switching noise from adjacent DC-DC converters or digital ICs.
