Product details
Overview
MAX807NCUE+ from Maxim Integrated is a full-featured microprocessor supervisory circuit designed for critical power monitoring in 5V µP systems. It provides ±1.5% accurate 4.575V reset threshold, active-low and active-high RESET outputs, independent watchdog timer (1.6s timeout), two-stage power-fail warning (2.275V PFI threshold + 52mV low-line offset), and seamless battery switchover with 250mA VCC-mode / 20mA battery-backup output drive - enabling reliable operation in portable instrumentation and industrial controllers.
For engineers reviewing the MAX807NCUE+ datasheet, MAX807NCUE+ pinout, MAX807NCUE+ application, or MAX807NCUE+ equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, validated 16-pin TSSOP package mapping, confirmed 200ms reset timeout and 2ns CE propagation delay, real-world backup-battery switchover behavior, and precise reset/low-line threshold relationships essential for brownout recovery and orderly shutdown design.
Technical Context
The MAX807NCUE+ integrates six independent comparators (reset, low-line, power-fail, BATT OK, watchdog transition detector) with a state machine and BiCMOS output drivers. Its reset comparator guarantees valid output down to VCC = 1V, while the low-line comparator triggers 52mV above the reset threshold with ±1.5% accuracy and 13mV hysteresis - enabling deterministic NMI-based shutdown initiation before reset assertion.
Chip-enable gating uses a series transmission gate (75Ω typical on-resistance) with 2ns propagation delay (50Ω source, 50pF load), disabled during reset to prevent RAM corruption. Battery switchover is controlled by a dedicated comparator with 2.275V threshold and 50mV hysteresis, supporting MaxCap®/SuperCap® compatibility and guaranteed operation with VBATT as low as 2.0V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.575V ±1.5% - ensures µP remains held in reset until stable 5V supply is fully established |
| Reset Timeout Period | 200ms - provides sufficient time for µP initialization and peripheral stabilization after power-up |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6s typical - detects µP lockup without requiring external timing components |
| Power-Fail Input Threshold | 2.265V with 20mV hysteresis - enables early warning of falling preregulated supplies before main rail collapse |
| VCC-to-OUT On-Resistance | 1.2Ω max - minimizes voltage drop under 250mA load, preserving RAM supply integrity |
| Battery Switchover Threshold | VBATT > 2.275V required for BATT OK flag assertion - validates backup source readiness prior to switchover |
| Supply Current (Normal Mode) | 70µA typical - enables multi-year battery life in portable equipment with continuous supervision |
Pinout & Package
MAX807NCUE+ is housed in a 16-pin TSSOP package (4.4mm × 5.0mm, 0.65mm pitch), RoHS-compliant and moisture-sensitive level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PFI | Power-Fail Input | Noninverting input to uncommitted comparator; asserts PFO low when voltage falls below 2.265V |
| PFO | Power-Fail Output | Active-low CMOS output signaling preregulated supply failure; sinks 3.2mA at 0.1V saturation |
| GND | Ground Reference | Common return path for all internal comparators and output drivers |
| VCC | Main Supply Input | Nominally +5V supply (4.50V–5.5V range); powers internal circuitry and drives CE OUT high during disable |
| BATT | Backup Battery Input | Accepts 2.0V–6V battery; enables automatic switchover to preserve RAM when VCC drops below reset threshold |
| OUT | RAM Supply Output | Switches between VCC and BATT; delivers up to 250mA (VCC mode) or 20mA (battery mode) |
| BATT ON | Battery-On Status Flag | CMOS output high when OUT is connected to BATT; drives external PMOS/PNP switch for >250mA loads |
| MR | Manual Reset Input | Active-low input with 50–200µA internal pullup; asserts reset for ≥1µs pulse and holds 200ms after release |
| LOW LINE | Low-Line Warning Output | Active-low CMOS output triggered when VCC falls to 52mV above reset threshold; initiates NMI-driven shutdown |
| RESET | Active-Low Reset Output | Strong-pull-down/weak-pullup output; guaranteed logic low for VCC ≥1V; wire-OR capable |
| RESET | Active-High Reset Output | Full-drive CMOS output inverse of RESET; sources/sinks current; not wire-OR compatible |
| WDO | Watchdog Fault Output | Active-low output asserted if WDI remains static >1.6s; connects to MR to generate watchdog-triggered resets |
| WDI | Watchdog Input | Edge-sensitive input; toggling clears watchdog timer; open-circuit disables watchdog (WDO = high) |
| CE IN | Chip-Enable Input | High-impedance during reset; 75Ω series resistance in enabled mode; gates CE signal to prevent RAM corruption |
| CE OUT | Chip-Enable Output | Passes CE IN during normal operation; pulled to higher of VCC/VBATT during reset disable |

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for MAX807NCUE+ and how is its accuracy specified?
The MAX807NCUE+ has a nominal reset threshold of 4.575V with ±1.5% accuracy over temperature (-40°C to +85°C). This specification is guaranteed by production testing per Maxim's datasheet Rev 4, ensuring the device asserts RESET when VCC falls below 4.500V and deasserts when VCC rises above 4.650V. The MAX807NCUE+ belongs to the 'N' variant of the MAX807L/M/N family, distinct from the 4.675V (L) and 4.425V (M) versions.
Does MAX807NCUE+ support true battery switchover, and what are the voltage and current limits?
Yes, MAX807NCUE+ provides true automatic battery switchover: when VCC drops below the reset threshold and VBATT exceeds 2.275V, the device disconnects VCC from OUT and connects BATT to OUT within microseconds. It delivers up to 20mA into CMOS RAM in battery-backup mode with VBATT as low as 2.0V, and supports VBATT up to 6V. The BATT ON output signals switchover status and can drive external PMOS transistors for higher current loads.
How does the watchdog timer in MAX807NCUE+ function, and can it be disabled?
The MAX807NCUE+ watchdog timer has a fixed 1.6s timeout period. It monitors the WDI input for edges; if no transition occurs within 1.6s, WDO goes low. The watchdog is automatically disabled when VCC falls below the reset threshold or when WDI is left unconnected (floating), causing WDO to remain high. To use the watchdog, WDI must be actively toggled by the µP - no external components or configuration are required.
What is the purpose of the LOW LINE output on MAX807NCUE+, and how does it differ from PFO?
The LOW LINE output on MAX807NCUE+ is an active-low comparator triggered when VCC falls to 52mV above the 4.575V reset threshold (i.e., ~4.627V), providing early warning of impending power failure. Unlike PFO - which monitors an external supply via PFI - LOW LINE directly tracks VCC, enabling NMI-driven software shutdown before RESET is asserted. Its 13mV hysteresis prevents chatter during slow VCC decay.
Is MAX807NCUE+ pin-compatible with other packages of the same part number, and what is its package footprint?
Yes, MAX807NCUE+ uses the 16-pin TSSOP package (suffix 'U') with 4.4mm × 5.0mm body and 0.65mm lead pitch. It shares identical pinout and electrical characteristics with the 16-pin SO (MAX807NCEE+) and 16-pin DIP (MAX807NCPA+) variants. All three packages are functionally interchangeable; only PCB land patterns differ - TSSOP requires fine-pitch soldering but offers superior thermal performance and smaller footprint.
