Product details
Overview
The MAX807MEUE+ from Maxim Integrated is a full-featured microprocessor supervisory circuit designed for power monitoring, battery switchover, and watchdog protection in embedded µP systems. It provides ±1.5% reset threshold accuracy (4.425V), 200ms reset timeout, active-low and active-high RESET outputs, independent watchdog timer (1.6s timeout), and dual-mode power switching (250mA from VCC, 20mA from battery). It is used in portable instrumentation and industrial controllers requiring reliable brownout detection and CMOS RAM backup.
For engineers reviewing the MAX807MEUE+ datasheet, MAX807MEUE+ pinout, MAX807MEUE+ application, or MAX807MEUE+ equivalent, this page delivers verified functional roles, validated timing behavior, confirmed supply-current specs (70µA normal / 1µA standby), and real-world interface constraints - including CE gating propagation (2ns typ), BATT OK flag logic, and low-line comparator accuracy (±1.5% over 52mV offset).
Technical Context
The MAX807MEUE+ integrates six independent comparators (reset, low-line, power-fail, BATT OK, battery switchover, watchdog transition detector) with BiCMOS process technology to achieve ±1.5% reset threshold precision and 70µA typical supply current. Its internal state machine coordinates reset assertion, manual-reset latching, and watchdog timeout recovery without external components.
It implements dual-path power switching: VCC-to-OUT with 1.2Ω on-resistance (250mA), and BATT-to-OUT with 8.5Ω on-resistance (20mA), both guaranteed functional down to VCC = 1V. The chip-enable gate uses a series transmission gate with 75Ω on-resistance and 2ns propagation delay (50Ω source, 50pF load), enabling compatibility with high-speed µPs.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
MAX807MEUE+ is housed in a 16-pin TSSOP package (4.4mm × 5mm, 0.65mm pitch), RoHS-compliant and moisture-sensitive level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PFI | Power-Fail Input | Noninverting input of uncommitted comparator; triggers PFO low when voltage falls below 2.265V |
| GND | Ground Reference | Common return for all analog and digital functions; bypass capacitor required at VCC and OUT |
| VCC | Main Supply Input | +4.35V to +5.5V nominal; powers internal circuitry and drives CE OUT and RESET in normal mode |
| BATT | Backup Battery Input | Accepts 2.0V–6V; enables automatic switchover to preserve CMOS RAM during main supply failure |
| OUT | Output Supply Voltage | Switched output connected to VCC (normal) or BATT (backup); requires 0.1µF bypass to GND |
| BATT ON | Battery-On Status Flag | CMOS output high when OUT is sourced from BATT; drives external PMOS/PNP switch for >250mA loads |
| MR | Manual Reset Input | Active-low input with internal 50–200µA pullup; asserts reset for ≥1µs pulse and holds 200ms after release |
| LOW LINE | Low-Line Comparator Output | Active-low NMI signal asserted when VCC falls to 52mV above reset threshold |
| RESET | Active-Low Reset Output | Strong-pull-down/weak-pullup CMOS output; valid down to VCC = 1V; wire-OR capable |
| RESET | Active-High Reset Output | Full-drive CMOS output (source/sink); inverse of RESET; not wire-OR compatible |
| WDO | Watchdog Fault Output | Active-low output asserted if WDI remains static >1.6s; high during reset or if WDI is open |
| WDI | Watchdog Input | Edge-triggered input; internal voltage divider pulls to ~1.8V if left floating, disabling watchdog |
| CE IN | Chip-Enable Input | High-impedance during reset; 75Ω series resistance in enabled mode; accepts TTL/CMOS levels |
| CE OUT | Chip-Enable Output | Pass-through gated signal; pulled to higher of VCC/VBATT when disabled to prevent RAM corruption |
| BATT OK | Battery-OK Status Flag | Active-high CMOS output indicating VBATT > 2.265V; valid only when VCC ≥ 4V |

FAQ
What is the reset threshold voltage of the MAX807MEUE+ and how accurate is it?
The MAX807MEUE+ has a nominal reset threshold of 4.425V with ±1.5% accuracy over temperature and supply voltage. This specification is guaranteed across the full operating range (-55°C to +125°C) and ensures reliable brownout detection without external calibration. The MAX807MEUE+ maintains valid RESET assertion down to VCC = 1V, making it suitable for deep brownout scenarios in battery-powered systems.
Does the MAX807MEUE+ support battery backup for CMOS RAM, and what are its current capabilities?
Yes, the MAX807MEUE+ provides automatic switchover from VCC to BATT input when main supply drops below the reset threshold. In battery-backup mode, it delivers up to 20mA at OUT with 8.5Ω typical on-resistance, and guarantees BATT OK status flag assertion when VBATT exceeds 2.265V. The MAX807MEUE+ draws only 1µA in battery-standby mode, preserving backup energy for extended periods.
How does the watchdog function work on the MAX807MEUE+, and what is its timeout period?
The MAX807MEUE+ watchdog monitors the WDI input for transitions; if no edge occurs within 1.6s (typical), WDO goes low to signal a fault. The timer clears automatically during reset assertion or upon any WDI edge while RESET is high. To trigger system reset on watchdog fault, connect WDO to MR via a diode. The MAX807MEUE+ watchdog operates independently of the reset circuit and remains functional even when VCC is near the reset threshold.
Can the MAX807MEUE+ be used to protect memory writes during power failure, and how?
Yes, the MAX807MEUE+ includes dedicated chip-enable (CE) gating: CE IN passes through to CE OUT during normal operation, but disables the path and pulls CE OUT high (to VCC or VBATT) during reset. With a 2ns typical propagation delay and 28µs disable latency, this prevents spurious writes to CMOS RAM or EEPROM during power transients. The MAX807MEUE+ also provides write-protection logic via its RESET outputs and manual reset input.
What is the purpose of the LOW LINE output on the MAX807MEUE+, and how is its threshold set?
The LOW LINE output on the MAX807MEUE+ provides an early power-fail warning by asserting low when VCC falls to 52mV above the reset threshold (i.e., 4.477V for MAX807MEUE+), with ±13mV hysteresis. It is intended to generate a non-maskable interrupt (NMI) for initiating software-controlled shutdown before reset occurs. Its threshold is fixed and factory-trimmed - no external components are required to configure the MAX807MEUE+ LOW LINE function.
