Product details
Overview
MAX805LESA+ from Maxim Integrated is a microprocessor supervisory circuit providing active-high reset, battery-backup switchover, watchdog timer (1.6s timeout), and power-fail detection (1.25V threshold) for +5V systems. It asserts RESET when VCC drops below 4.65V, guarantees reset assertion down to VCC = 1.1V, and draws only 200µA quiescent current in normal operation. It is used in battery-powered controllers and critical μP monitoring where reliable power-up/down sequencing and RAM retention are required.
For engineers reviewing the MAX805LESA+ datasheet, MAX805LESA+ pinout, MAX805LESA+ application, or MAX805LESA+ equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, package mapping, functional context, and real-world design considerations - including active-high reset compatibility with Intel 80C51-family microcontrollers, battery switchover hysteresis (40mV), and guaranteed PFO response time of 400ns.
Technical Context
The MAX805LESA+ integrates four core functions on a single die: a precision reset generator with 4.65V threshold and 200ms pulse width, a 1.6s watchdog timer cleared by WDI edges, a 1.25V reference-based power-fail comparator driving PFO, and a dual-path power switch (5Ω PMOS for VCC→VOUT, 80Ω PMOS for VBATT→VOUT). Its active-high RESET output is electrically inverted from the standard RESET signal found in MAX690A/MAX802L variants.
It operates across –40°C to +85°C, supports VCC from 1.1V to 5.5V, and enters ultra-low-power battery-backup mode (<1µA supply current) when VCC falls below VBATT − 1V. The internal switchover logic enforces strict voltage conditions: VBATT connects to VOUT only when VCC < reset threshold *and* VBATT > VCC + 20mV, with 40mV hysteresis to prevent chatter during slow brownouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.65V ±150mV - triggers reset during brownout; matches +5V ±5% supply tolerance. |
| Reset Pulse Width | 200ms (min 140ms, max 280ms) - ensures μP initialization completes before release. |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6s - provides robust software hang detection without requiring tight timing margins. |
| Supply Current (Active) | 200–500µA - enables long-term operation from small batteries or low-power rails. |
| Battery-Backup Current | <1µA when VCC < VBATT − 1V - preserves lithium battery life for years in standby. |
| PFO Response Time | 400ns - allows fast interrupt-driven power-down preparation in μP systems. |
| RESET Output Validity | Guaranteed down to VCC = 1.1V - supports reset assertion during deep undervoltage conditions. |
Pinout & Package
MAX805LESA+ is housed in an 8-pin SO (Small Outline) package, RoHS-compliant, with lead-free finish indicated by the '+' suffix. Pin 1 is VBATT, pin 2 is VCC, pin 3 is GND, pin 4 is PFI, pin 5 is PFO, pin 6 is WDI, pin 7 is RESET (active-high), and pin 8 is VOUT.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: VBATT | Backup-battery input | Connects to lithium cell (3.0–3.6V); enables automatic switchover to backup power when VCC fails. |
| 2: VCC | +5V main supply input | Primary power source; monitored for reset generation and switchover control. |
| 3: GND | Ground reference | Common return for all analog and digital circuitry; must be low-impedance. |
| 4: PFI | Power-fail comparator input | Accepts voltage divider output; trips PFO low when input falls below 1.25V. |
| 5: PFO | Power-fail output | Open-drain active-low signal; used to trigger μP interrupt before supply collapse. |
| 6: WDI | Watchdog input | Edge-sensitive; must be toggled every <1.6s to prevent reset; floating disables watchdog. |
| 7: RESET | Active-high reset output | Inverted logic vs. RESET; drives high during reset; compatible with Intel 80C51 and similar μPs. |
| 8: VOUT | CMOS RAM supply output | Switches between VCC and VBATT; delivers regulated backup power to preserve RAM data. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Active-high RESET output | Enables direct interface with μPs requiring high-asserted reset (e.g., Intel 80C51), eliminating external inverters. |
| Guaranteed reset at VCC = 1.1V | Ensures deterministic system halt even during severe brownout, preventing corrupted state transitions. |
| 40mV switchover hysteresis | Prevents oscillatory switching between VCC and VBATT during slow-ramp power failures. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX802LESA+ | Provides active-low RESET (not RESET); same 4.65V threshold, 200ms pulse, and 1.6s watchdog. | Requires external inverter for μPs needing active-high reset; otherwise functionally identical in monitoring and switchover. | Select MAX802LESA+ only if system uses active-low reset architecture and inverter cost/area is acceptable. |
| MAX813LESA+ | Identical pinout and electrical specs to MAX805LESA+, but includes manual reset input (MR) and watchdog disable (WDI tied to GND). | Supports operator-initiated reset and watchdog bypass - useful in field-service or debug scenarios. | Choose MAX813LESA+ when field-recoverability or test-mode flexibility outweighs minimal BOM cost increase. |
Compared with MAX802LESA+, MAX805LESA+ eliminates need for external inversion logic in active-high reset systems; compared with MAX813LESA+, it trades manual reset capability for slightly lower cost and simpler layout - ideal for production systems where reset is fully automated.

FAQ
What is the reset threshold voltage of the MAX805LESA+?
The MAX805LESA+ has a nominal reset threshold of 4.65V, with guaranteed limits of 4.50V (min) and 4.75V (max) over temperature. This threshold is factory-trimmed and applies to both power-up assertion and brownout detection. The device guarantees RESET remains asserted until VCC rises above this threshold and holds for a full 200ms pulse width thereafter. This value is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table of the official Maxim datasheet (Rev 5, April 2015).
Does the MAX805LESA+ support active-high reset for Intel 80C51 microcontrollers?
Yes, the MAX805LESA+ provides an active-high RESET output (pin 7), specifically designed to interface directly with microcontrollers such as the Intel 80C51 that require high-asserted reset signals. Unlike the MAX690A or MAX802L, which output active-low RESET, the MAX805LESA+ inverts this internally - eliminating the need for external logic gates. Its RESET output is guaranteed valid down to VCC = 1.1V, ensuring compatibility across the full operating range.
How does the battery switchover function work in the MAX805LESA+?
The MAX805LESA+ switches VOUT from VCC to VBATT automatically when VCC falls below the 4.65V reset threshold *and* VBATT exceeds VCC by at least 20mV. A 40mV hysteresis prevents oscillation during slow brownouts. In backup mode, VOUT is sourced through an 80Ω PMOS switch, delivering up to 250µA at VBATT − 0.1V. Quiescent current drops below 1µA when VCC is more than 1V below VBATT - enabling multi-year battery life in standby applications.
What is the watchdog timeout period for the MAX805LESA+?
The MAX805LESA+ features a fixed 1.6s watchdog timeout period, with typical value 1.60s and guaranteed range of 1.00s to 2.25s over temperature and supply. The watchdog timer resets on any rising or falling edge at the WDI pin (pin 6); if no edge occurs within the timeout window, RESET is asserted. The timer is also cleared during RESET assertion or when WDI is three-stated, making it robust against software glitches or bus contention.
Can the MAX805LESA+ monitor power supplies other than +5V?
Yes, the MAX805LESA+ can monitor non-+5V supplies using its PFI (pin 4) input and internal 1.25V reference. By configuring an external resistor divider, users can scale any positive supply (e.g., +3.3V, +12V) to produce 1.25V at PFI when the monitored rail reaches its trip point. For example, a +3.3V supply can be monitored for undervoltage at 3.0V by setting R1/R2 to yield 1.25V at PFI when input = 3.0V. PFO (pin 5) then asserts low to signal the fault.
