Product details
Overview
MAX805RCSA+ 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 capability. It monitors VCC for brownout detection, asserts reset during power-up/down, and supports CMOS RAM backup in portable embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX805RCSA+ datasheet, MAX805RCSA+ pinout, MAX805RCSA+ application, or MAX805RCSA+ equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, validated pin functions, confirmed battery-switching behavior, and real-world use cases in battery-powered controllers and critical µP monitoring systems.
Technical Context
The MAX805RCSA+ integrates a precision reset comparator with ±4% threshold tolerance (2.55V–2.70V at VCC falling), a 1.6s watchdog timer cleared by WDI edges, and dual-path power switching: VCC-to-VOUT via 3Ω PMOS and VBATT-to-VOUT via 140Ω switch. Its PFI input accepts external voltage dividers for auxiliary supply monitoring.
It features guaranteed RESET assertion down to VCC = 1.0V, 40µA VCC supply current (typ), 1µA battery supply current (typ), and operates across –40°C to +85°C in SO-8 package. The active-high RESET output requires external pull-up and is inverse to the MAX690/MAX704 family's active-low variant.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.625V nominal (2.55V–2.70V range); triggers reset before 3.0V supply falls below system reliability margin. |
| Reset Timeout Period | 200ms (140–280ms); ensures µP completes full initialization before release from reset state. |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6s (1.12–2.24s); detects µP lockup without requiring software intervention or external timing components. |
| VCC Supply Current | 40µA typical (≤65µA max); enables ultra-low-power operation in battery-backed portable equipment. |
| Battery Supply Current | 0.4–1µA typical; minimizes drain on lithium coin cells during extended backup mode. |
| Power-Fail Input Threshold | 1.237V ±25mV; allows accurate undervoltage detection of auxiliary rails via resistor divider. |
| VBATT Switch Threshold | 2.40V (2.30–2.50V); initiates battery switchover before VOUT drops below 2.0V RAM retention limit. |
Pinout & Package
MAX805RCSA+ is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package with standard 1.27mm pitch, RoHS-compliant lead-free finish (+ suffix), and moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VOUT | CMOS RAM supply output | Switches between VCC (via 3Ω PMOS) and VBATT (via 140Ω switch); maintains RAM power during brownout. |
| 2 - VCC | Main system supply input | Monitored for reset assertion; powers internal circuitry; valid range 2.72V–5.5V for R-suffix parts. |
| 3 - GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all analog/digital functions; substrate tied to higher of VCC/VBATT. |
| 4 - PFI | Power-fail comparator input | Accepts external voltage divider; trips PFO low when input falls below 1.237V ±25mV. |
| 5 - PFO | Power-fail open-drain output | Signals auxiliary supply failure; can be wired to MR on MAX704/MAX806 to trigger reset. |
| 6 - WDI | Watchdog timer input | Edge-sensitive; clears 1.6s timer on rising/falling transition; cannot be disabled. |
| 7 - RESET | Active-high open-drain reset output | Inverse of MAX690/MAX704 RESET; requires external pull-up; asserts high during fault conditions. |
| 8 - VBATT | Backup battery input | May exceed VCC (e.g., 3.6V Li-cell); connects to VOUT when VCC falls below 2.40V or 1.75V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Battery-backup switchover | Automatic VCC-to-VBATT transition at 2.40V with 25mV hysteresis; preserves CMOS RAM data during power loss. |
| Guaranteed reset to 1V VCC | Ensures reliable µP hold-down even during deep brownout; eliminates need for external reset extenders. |
| Watchdog timer with edge-clearing | 1.6s timeout cleared only by WDI transitions-not static levels-preventing false resets from stuck signals. |
| Low-quiescent-current operation | 40µA VCC supply current enables >1-year battery life in always-on portable instruments. |
| Power-fail comparator independence | Operates separately from reset logic; allows concurrent monitoring of secondary supplies without interference. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX805TCSA+ | 3.075V reset threshold (±4%), same SO-8 package, identical pinout and feature set. | Suitable for 3.3V ±5% systems; asserts reset earlier than MAX805RCSA+ during supply droop. | Select when main supply has tighter regulation and brownout margin must be minimized. |

FAQ
What is the reset threshold voltage of the MAX805RCSA+?
The MAX805RCSA+ has a nominal reset threshold of 2.625V, with a guaranteed range of 2.55V to 2.70V when VCC is falling. This value is fixed by the "R" suffix and optimized for 3.0V ±10% power supplies. The threshold exhibits 10mV typical hysteresis to prevent oscillation during slow VCC transitions, and the device guarantees RESET assertion down to VCC = 1.0V.
Does the MAX805RCSA+ support battery backup for CMOS RAM?
Yes, the MAX805RCSA+ supports battery backup via its VBATT pin and VOUT output. When VCC falls below 2.40V (2.30V–2.50V range), the internal switch connects VBATT to VOUT, preserving power to external CMOS RAM. The device allows VBATT to exceed VCC (e.g., 3.6V lithium cell), and leakage into the battery is limited to 0.01–0.5µA, ensuring multi-year backup life.
How does the watchdog timer function on the MAX805RCSA+?
The MAX805RCSA+ watchdog timer has a 1.6s timeout (1.12–2.24s range) and is cleared only by rising or falling edges on the WDI pin-static high or low states will trigger reset. Unlike older MAX690 variants, the watchdog cannot be disabled. During reset assertion, the timer remains cleared; it starts counting only after RESET deasserts, ensuring robust µP lockup detection without false triggers.
What is the purpose of the PFI and PFO pins on the MAX805RCSA+?
The PFI (Power-Fail Input) pin accepts an external voltage divider to monitor auxiliary power rails. When PFI falls below 1.237V ±25mV, the open-drain PFO (Power-Fail Output) pulls low, signaling supply failure. PFO can drive interrupts or be connected to MR on compatible parts like MAX704/MAX806 to initiate reset. The comparator operates independently of the reset circuitry and is disabled when VCC < 2.40V.
Is the MAX805RCSA+ pin-compatible with other MAX80x supervisory devices?
Yes, the MAX805RCSA+ shares identical SO-8 pinout and function mapping with all MAX80x variants (e.g., MAX805TCSA+, MAX805SCSA+, MAX804RCSA+). Pin 1 is VOUT, Pin 7 is active-high RESET, and Pin 8 is VBATT. No PCB changes are required when substituting within the MAX80x family-only the reset threshold (determined by suffix T/S/R) and minor parameter tolerances differ.
