Product details
Overview
The MAX807LEWE+T from Maxim Integrated is a precision microprocessor supervisory circuit designed for +5V systems, providing active-low and active-high reset outputs, manual reset input, watchdog timer, two-stage power-fail warning (PFI/PFO), low-line comparator (52mV above reset threshold), battery switchover (250mA VCC mode / 20mA battery mode), and chip-enable gating with 2ns propagation delay - all in a 16-pin TSSOP package. It ensures reliable µP startup, brownout recovery, and orderly shutdown in portable and industrial embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX807LEWE+T datasheet, MAX807LEWE+T pinout, MAX807LEWE+T application, or MAX807LEWE+T equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, exact reset threshold (4.675V ±1.5%), battery switchover behavior, watchdog timeout (1.6s), CE gating specs, and validated alternative parts - enabling confident selection for power-monitoring-critical designs.
Technical Context
The MAX807LEWE+T integrates seven independent monitoring functions: a precision reset comparator (±1.5% accuracy at 4.675V), a dedicated low-line comparator with 52mV offset and ±1.5% hysteresis, a 1.6s watchdog timer with WDI/WDO interface, a power-fail comparator (2.265V threshold), manual reset logic with 200ms timeout, battery switchover control with BATT ON flag, and bidirectional CE signal gating using BiCMOS transmission gates.
Its architecture supports dual-supply operation (VCC and VBATT), guarantees RESET validity down to VCC = 1V, maintains <70µA supply current in normal mode and <1µA in battery-standby, and delivers rail-to-rail CMOS logic outputs (RESET, RESET, WDO, PFO, LOW LINE, BATT OK) with defined sink/source drive strength and propagation timing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.675V ±1.5% - ensures deterministic µP reset before system voltage violates minimum operating spec for +5V logic. |
| Reset Timeout Period | 200ms - provides sufficient time for µP initialization and peripheral stabilization after power-up or MR release. |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6s typical - detects µP lockup or software hang without requiring external timing components. |
| VCC-to-OUT Drive Capability | 250mA at VCC ≥4.5V - directly powers CMOS RAM or real-time clocks during main supply operation. |
| Battery Backup Output Current | 20mA at VBATT = 2.8V - sustains low-power logic (RAM, RTC) during extended VCC loss while minimizing battery drain. |
| CE IN to CE OUT Propagation Delay | 2ns typical - preserves high-speed memory access timing integrity during normal operation and prevents corruption during reset. |
| Supply Current (Normal Mode) | 70µA typical - enables long battery life in portable equipment without sacrificing supervision accuracy or speed. |
Pinout & Package
MAX807LEWE+T is housed in a 16-pin TSSOP (Thin Shrink Small Outline Package) with 0.65mm pitch, JEDEC MO-153 compliant, body size 5.0mm × 4.4mm × 1.2mm, lead finish matte tin, RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PFI | Power-Fail Input | Non-inverting input of uncommitted comparator; triggers PFO low when voltage falls below 2.265V - used for early preregulated supply monitoring. |
| PFO | Power-Fail Output | Active-low CMOS output asserted when PFI < 2.265V; sinks 3.2mA, supports NMI generation for orderly shutdown. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Primary return path for all internal comparators, outputs, and bias circuits; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane. |
| VCC | Main Supply Input | +4.60V to +5.5V nominal input; powers internal circuitry and drives CE OUT, RESET, and other VCC-referenced outputs. |
| BATT | Backup Battery Input | Accepts 2.0V–6.0V backup source; enables automatic switchover to battery when VCC drops below reset threshold. |
| OUT | Output Supply Voltage | Switched output connected to VCC or BATT; delivers up to 250mA (VCC mode) or 20mA (battery mode) to CMOS RAM/RTC. |
| RESET | Active-Low Reset Output | Open-drain–like strong-pulldown/weak-pullup output; asserted low during power-up/down/brownout; valid down to VCC = 1V. |
| RESET | Active-High Reset Output | Full CMOS output (source/sink capable); inverse of RESET; not wire-ORable but suitable for direct µP reset input. |
| WDO | Watchdog Fault Output | Active-low CMOS output asserted if WDI remains static >1.6s; connects to MR to auto-generate watchdog-triggered resets. |
| CE OUT | Chip-Enable Output | Gated CE signal; pulled to higher of VCC/BATT when disabled (during reset); passes CE IN transitions when enabled. |
| CE IN | Chip-Enable Input | High-impedance input during reset (±1µA leakage); presents ~75Ω series resistance when enabled - matches standard CE drivers. |
| BATT ON | Battery-On Status Flag | CMOS output high when OUT is connected to BATT; drives external PNP/PMOS switch for >250mA load requirements. |
| MR | Manual Reset Input | Active-low input with internal 50–200µA pullup; asserts reset when pulled low; debounced internally - no external RC needed. |
| LOW LINE | Low-Line Warning Output | Active-low CMOS output triggered when VCC falls to 52mV above reset threshold; initiates non-maskable interrupt for controlled shutdown. |
| BATT OK | Battery-OK Status Flag | Active-high CMOS output asserted when VBATT > 2.265V; confirms backup battery is present and within operational range. |
| WDI | Watchdog Input | Edge-sensitive input; toggling clears 1.6s watchdog timer; left floating disables watchdog (WDO remains high). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ±1.5% Reset Threshold Accuracy | Guarantees precise power-on reset point across temperature (-40°C to +85°C), eliminating need for external trimming in +5V systems. |
| Dual Reset Outputs (RESET/RESET) | Supports both active-low and active-high µP reset inputs simultaneously - eliminates level-shifting or inverter logic on PCB. |
| Two-Stage Power Monitoring | Combines 2.265V PFI/PFO for early power-fail detection and 52mV-above-reset LOW LINE for mid-fall warning - enables tiered shutdown response. |
| Integrated CE Signal Gating | Prevents spurious memory writes during power transients by disabling CE path during reset - no external logic or FPGA intervention required. |
| Battery Switchover with BATT ON Flag | Automatically routes OUT between VCC and BATT; BATT ON output controls external high-current switches - scales beyond 250mA loads. |
| 1.6s Watchdog Timer with WDI/WDO Interface | Self-contained fault detection that requires only one µP GPIO toggle per timeout period - reduces firmware complexity vs. external timers. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX809SEUR+T | Single active-low reset output only; no watchdog, no CE gating, no battery switchover; 4.63V threshold (±2.5%); SOT23-3 package. | Suitable for basic reset-only use cases where space and cost constrain feature set; lacks multi-rail monitoring and data protection logic. | Select when only guaranteed power-on reset is required and board area is critical - not for battery-backed or watchdog-dependent systems. |
| TPS3808G18DBVR | Adjustable reset threshold (via external resistor); no low-line comparator or PFI/PFO; no battery switchover; 1.8V fixed option; 6-pin SOT23. | Designed for low-voltage µPs (1.8V–5.5V); supports custom thresholds but omits dual-supply management and early-warning comparators. | Choose for flexible threshold tuning in modern low-VDD designs; avoid when legacy +5V compatibility, battery backup, or NMI-driven shutdown are mandatory. |
Compared with MAX807LEWE+T, MAX809SEUR+T sacrifices all advanced supervision features for minimal footprint and cost, while TPS3808G18DBVR trades fixed-accuracy +5V support for adjustable thresholds at the expense of battery management and dual-comparator warning capability - making MAX807LEWE+T uniquely suited for full-featured, battery-resilient +5V µP systems.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX807LEWE+T?
The MAX807LEWE+T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 4.675V with ±1.5% accuracy over temperature (-40°C to +85°C). This value is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "VRST" for the "L" variant and is guaranteed across the full operating range - critical for ensuring deterministic reset behavior in +5V systems where marginal supply droop must not cause unintended reboots.
Does the MAX807LEWE+T support battery backup operation, and what are its current limits?
Yes, the MAX807LEWE+T fully supports battery backup: when VCC falls below 4.675V, it automatically switches the OUT pin from VCC to the BATT supply. In battery-backup mode, it delivers up to 20mA at VBATT = 2.8V while drawing only 1µA standby current - sufficient to maintain CMOS RAM or real-time clocks during extended main-power outages without excessive battery depletion.
How does the watchdog function work on the MAX807LEWE+T, and what is its timeout period?
The MAX807LEWE+T watchdog monitors the WDI pin; if no edge transition occurs within 1.6 seconds (typical), WDO goes low. The timer resets on any WDI edge while RESET is high, or immediately upon reset assertion. WDO can be connected to MR to generate automatic 200ms reset pulses on each watchdog fault - providing self-recovery without host µP intervention.
Can the MAX807LEWE+T be used with non-+5V power supplies?
The MAX807LEWE+T is optimized for +5V systems (VCC = 4.60V to 5.5V), but its PFI input accepts arbitrary voltages via resistor dividers to monitor other rails - e.g., a 3.3V or 12V supply - and its BATT input supports 2.0V–6.0V backup sources. However, the primary reset threshold (4.675V) and low-line comparator (52mV above reset) are fixed, so it is not intended as a general-purpose adjustable supervisor.
What package type and pin count does the MAX807LEWE+T use?
The MAX807LEWE+T uses a 16-pin TSSOP (Thin Shrink Small Outline Package) with 0.65mm lead pitch, JEDEC MO-153 compliant, measuring 5.0mm × 4.4mm × 1.2mm. This surface-mount package offers thermal and electrical performance comparable to SOIC but in ~50% less board area - ideal for space-constrained portable and industrial designs requiring full-featured supervision.
