Product details
Overview
MAX805RCPA+ from Maxim Integrated is a 3.0V/3.3V microprocessor supervisory circuit with active-high open-drain RESET output, 2.625V reset threshold (R-suffix), 200ms reset timeout, watchdog timer (1.6s), and battery-backup switchover. It monitors VCC for brownout, asserts reset during power-up/down, and switches VOUT to VBATT when VCC falls below 2.40V - used in battery-powered embedded controllers requiring reliable RAM retention.
For engineers reviewing the MAX805RCPA+ datasheet, MAX805RCPA+ pinout, MAX805RCPA+ application, or MAX805RCPA+ equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications including reset threshold tolerance (±4%), PFI threshold (1.237V), VCC supply current (40µA typ), battery leakage (0.01–0.5µA), and guaranteed RESET assertion down to VCC = 1V.
Technical Context
The MAX805RCPA+ integrates a precision reset comparator with 10mV hysteresis, a non-disableable 1.6s watchdog timer cleared by WDI edges, and a dual-path battery switchover circuit: VCC-to-VOUT via 3Ω PMOS switch and VBATT-to-VOUT via 140Ω switch. Its PFI input enables independent power-fail detection at 1.237V with ±20mV hysteresis.
It operates across 0°C to +70°C (C-grade), supports VCC from 2.72V to 5.5V (R-suffix), and guarantees RESET assertion for VCC < 2.625V (falling) and deassertion only after VCC rises above 2.635V (rising). The active-high RESET output requires external pull-up and sinks up to 1.2mA at 0.3V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold (VRST) | 2.625V nominal (falling), ±4% tolerance; ensures reset assertion before VCC drops below 2.55V in 3.0V systems with ±10% supply tolerance. |
| Reset Timeout Period | 200ms typ (140–280ms range); holds RESET asserted long enough to guarantee µP initialization after power recovery. |
| VCC Supply Current | 40µA typ at VCC < 3.6V; enables ultra-low-power operation in always-on battery-backed systems. |
| Battery Leakage Current | 0.01–0.5µA max; minimizes drain on lithium backup cells during extended storage or standby. |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.60s typ (1.12–2.24s); detects µP lockup without software intervention, critical for unattended embedded devices. |
| PFI Threshold Voltage | 1.237V ±25mV; provides accurate undervoltage detection for auxiliary rails or battery monitoring independent of main VCC. |
| VBATT Switch Threshold (VSW) | 2.40V typ; initiates battery switchover early enough to maintain CMOS RAM above 2.0V minimum retention voltage. |
Pinout & Package
MAX805RCPA+ is housed in an 8-pin plastic DIP (PDIP) package with 0.300" wide body, RoHS-compliant lead-free finish (+ suffix), and standard through-hole mounting.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VOUT | Supply output for CMOS RAM | Switches between VCC (via 3Ω PMOS) and VBATT (via 140Ω switch); must be decoupled with 0.1µF capacitor. |
| 2 - VCC | Main system supply input | Accepts 2.72V–5.5V; powers internal circuitry and enables reset monitoring; absolute max = +6.0V. |
| 3 - GND | Ground reference | Common return for VCC, VBATT, and all logic; requires low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| 4 - PFI | Power-fail input | Compares external voltage to 1.237V reference; triggers PFO low when input falls below threshold. |
| 5 - PFO | Power-fail open-drain output | Active-low signal indicating PFI undervoltage or VCC < VSW; requires external pull-up for µP interrupt generation. |
| 6 - WDI | Watchdog input | Edge-sensitive (rising/falling); clears 1.6s timer on transition; tied high/low causes periodic reset. |
| 7 - RESET | Active-high open-drain reset output | Inverse of MAX690/704/802/806 RESET; requires external pull-up to VCC; sinks 1.2mA at 0.3V. |
| 8 - VBATT | Backup battery input | Accepts up to 6.0V; may exceed VCC; connects to VOUT during brownout; decouple with 0.1µF capacitor. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guaranteed RESET assertion to VCC = 1V | Ensures fail-safe reset behavior even during deep brownout, preventing µP execution from corrupted memory. |
| Battery-backup switchover with VSW = 2.40V | Activates backup before VOUT drops below 2.0V, preserving SRAM data integrity without external supervision. |
| 40µA VCC supply current (typ) | Reduces quiescent power in always-on applications such as portable medical or industrial logging devices. |
| 1.6s watchdog timer with edge-triggered clear | Eliminates need for dedicated watchdog IC; prevents µP lockup without software polling overhead. |
| 1.237V PFI threshold with ±20mV hysteresis | Enables precise, noise-immune monitoring of auxiliary supplies or battery voltage without external components. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX805SCPA+ | Higher reset threshold (2.925V), tighter ±2% tolerance, same pinout and features. | Better suited for 3.3V ±10% systems where earlier reset assertion is required. | Select MAX805SCPA+ when monitoring 3.3V rails with wider tolerance; MAX805RCPA+ remains optimal for 3.0V ±10% systems. |
| MAX804RCPA+ | Active-low RESET output (complementary to MAX805RCPA+'s active-high), identical reset threshold and timing. | Direct replacement where µP reset input is active-low and external pull-down is preferred. | Choose MAX804RCPA+ only if system design mandates active-low reset signaling; otherwise, MAX805RCPA+ avoids external level-shifting. |
Compared with MAX805SCPA+ and MAX804RCPA+, the MAX805RCPA+ offers the lowest reset threshold (2.625V) for deep brownout immunity in 3.0V systems, while its active-high RESET simplifies interface with µPs lacking internal pull-ups and eliminates need for external inverters.

FAQ
What is the reset threshold voltage of the MAX805RCPA+?
The MAX805RCPA+ has a nominal reset threshold voltage of 2.625V (R-suffix), with a specified tolerance of ±4% over temperature. It asserts RESET when VCC falls below 2.55V (min) and deasserts only after VCC rises above 2.635V (typ), providing 10mV hysteresis to prevent oscillation during brownout recovery. This threshold is optimized for 3.0V ±10% power systems.
Does the MAX805RCPA+ support battery backup switchover?
Yes, the MAX805RCPA+ supports automatic battery backup switchover: when VCC falls below the 2.40V switch threshold (VSW) and VBATT exceeds VCC, it disconnects VOUT from VCC and connects it to VBATT via a 140Ω internal switch. Switchover back to VCC occurs when VCC rises above the reset threshold (2.625V), ensuring stable supply reconnection after recovery.
What is the function of the WDI pin on the MAX805RCPA+?
The WDI (Watchdog Input) pin on the MAX805RCPA+ is edge-sensitive and clears the internal 1.6s watchdog timer on any rising or falling transition. If WDI remains static (high or low) for longer than 1.6s, the timer expires and triggers a reset. Unlike some supervisory ICs, the watchdog function cannot be disabled - it operates continuously once powered.
Can the MAX805RCPA+ monitor a secondary power supply?
Yes, the MAX805RCPA+ can monitor a secondary power supply using the PFI (Power-Fail Input) pin, which compares the applied voltage to a precise 1.237V internal reference. When the PFI voltage falls below this threshold, the open-drain PFO output goes low - enabling use as an undervoltage detector for auxiliary rails, battery voltage, or isolated DC-DC outputs without additional components.
What package type and RoHS status does the MAX805RCPA+ use?
The MAX805RCPA+ is supplied in an 8-pin plastic DIP (PDIP) package with 0.300" width and lead-free (RoHS-compliant) terminations, indicated by the "+" suffix per Maxim's ordering convention. It is rated for 0°C to +70°C operation (C-grade) and features standard through-hole mounting compatible with legacy PCB assembly processes.
