Product details
Overview
MAX803ZEXR-T from Maxim Integrated is a precision 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 down to VCC = 1V, draws only 17µA (typ) at +25°C, and is qualified for automotive-grade operation from −40°C to +125°C in SC70-3 package.
For engineers reviewing the MAX803ZEXR-T datasheet, MAX803ZEXR-T pinout, MAX803ZEXR-T application, or MAX803ZEXR-T equivalent, this device serves as a low-power, high-accuracy reset supervisor for battery-powered systems, automotive ECUs, and industrial controllers where supply voltage margin and temperature stability are critical.
Technical Context
The MAX803ZEXR-T implements a precision bandgap-based reset comparator with 30ppm/°C tempco, guaranteeing threshold accuracy across its full −40°C to +125°C operating range. Its open-drain RESET output supports level-shifting and bidirectional μP interface via external pullup, and the comparator ignores transients ≤20μs (at 100mV overdrive).
It requires no external components beyond the pullup resistor, delivers guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 1V, and features built-in immunity to fast negative-going VCC glitches-enabling robust operation in electrically noisy environments such as automotive power domains.
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 2.32V |
| Reset Timeout | ≥140ms minimum; guarantees μP remains held in reset long enough for stable power-up sequencing |
| Supply Current | 17µA (typ) at +25°C, VCC = 2.5V; enables multi-year battery life in portable instrumentation |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +125°C; supports under-hood automotive and industrial edge-node deployment |
| Output Type | Open-drain active-low RESET; allows flexible pullup to higher voltage rails or shared reset bus |

| Threshold Tempco | 30ppm/°C; maintains ±1.5% threshold drift over full temperature range for predictable timing |
Pinout & Package
MAX803ZEXR-T is housed in a 3-pin SC70 package (package code X3+2), with 0.65mm pitch, 1.25mm × 0.85mm footprint, and 0.95mm max height-optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts in automotive and portable designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 GND | Ground reference | Return path for internal comparator and output stage; must be connected to system ground plane |
| 2 RESET | Open-drain active-low reset output | Sinks current when asserted; requires external pullup resistor to define logic-high voltage and enable level-shifting |
| 3 VCC | Supply input | Monitored power rail input; powers internal circuitry and defines reset threshold reference point |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision 2.32V threshold | Enables accurate supervision of +2.5V systems without derating margin loss due to tempco or tolerance |
| 140ms min reset timeout | Meets JEDEC JESD78 reliability requirements for μP initialization timing across voltage and temperature |
| 17µA supply current | Reduces quiescent load on coin-cell or energy-harvested supplies in always-on monitoring applications |
| Valid reset to VCC = 1V | Ensures deterministic reset state during deep brownout, preventing undefined μP behavior before shutdown |
| AEC-Q100 qualified | Validated for automotive use per stress test requirements including HTOL, TC, and ESD (HBM ≥2kV) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX809ZEXR-T | Push-pull active-low RESET output; identical 2.32V threshold and SC70-3 package | Eliminates need for external pullup resistor but cannot level-shift or share reset bus | Select when board layout simplicity and reduced BOM count outweigh flexibility needs |
| TPS3808G125DBVR | 2.33V threshold, 350ms reset timeout, SOT23-3 package, 1.5µA ICC | Higher timeout and ultra-low current suit ultra-low-power IoT nodes; not AEC-Q100 qualified | Select for battery-operated non-automotive applications requiring longer reset hold time and lower ICC |
Compared with MAX803ZEXR-T, MAX809ZEXR-T removes external component dependency but sacrifices interface flexibility, while TPS3808G125DBVR trades automotive qualification and compact SC70 size for extreme low-power operation and extended reset duration-making each suitable for distinct system-level trade-offs.

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 guaranteed range of 2.25V to 2.38V at −40°C to +85°C and 2.22V to 2.42V at −40°C to +125°C. Its 30ppm/°C tempco ensures predictable, linear drift-critical for maintaining reset timing integrity across automotive and industrial temperature extremes.
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. A 10kΩ to 100kΩ resistor to a compatible voltage rail (e.g., 3.3V or 5V) is typical. The value balances rise time, power consumption, and noise immunity-lower values improve speed but increase current; higher values reduce current but slow edge transitions.
Is the MAX803ZEXR-T qualified for automotive applications, and what standards does it meet?
Yes, the MAX803ZEXR-T is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive use. It meets stress test requirements including high-temperature operating life (HTOL), temperature cycling (TC), and human-body-model ESD (≥2kV). Its −40°C to +125°C operating range and SC70 package support under-hood and body-control module deployments.
How long does the MAX803ZEXR-T hold the RESET signal active after VCC rises above the threshold?
The MAX803ZEXR-T guarantees a minimum reset timeout of 140ms after VCC rises above the reset threshold. At −40°C to +85°C, the typical timeout is 240ms, and maximum is 460ms (SC70 package). This ensures sufficient hold time for μP clock stabilization, PLL lock, and memory initialization before release.
Can the MAX803ZEXR-T operate reliably when VCC drops below 1V, and what happens to the RESET output?
The MAX803ZEXR-T guarantees correct RESET logic state down to VCC = 1V. Below 1V, the internal output transistor loses drive capability and RESET becomes high-impedance. To maintain defined logic low in such cases, a 100kΩ pull-down resistor to GND is recommended-ensuring deterministic behavior during deep brownout or controlled shutdown sequences.
