Product details
Overview
MAX807NEPE+ from Maxim Integrated is a full-featured microprocessor supervisory circuit designed for power monitoring, battery switchover, and watchdog functions in embedded µP systems. It provides active-low and active-high RESET outputs, manual reset input (MR), two-stage power-fail warning (PFI/PFO), low-line comparator (52mV above reset threshold), BATT OK flag, and independent watchdog timer with 1.6s timeout. Its ±1.5% reset threshold accuracy (4.575V), 200ms reset timeout, and 250mA VCC-mode output drive support reliable boot-up and brownout recovery in portable and industrial controllers.
For engineers reviewing the MAX807NEPE+ datasheet, MAX807NEPE+ pinout, MAX807NEPE+ application, or MAX807NEPE+ equivalent, key selection considerations include its 4.575V reset threshold (N-version), guaranteed RESET validity down to VCC = 1V, 2ns CE gate propagation delay, 70µA supply current in normal mode, and dual-mode output switching (250mA/VCC or 20mA/battery-backup).
Technical Context
The MAX807NEPE+ integrates six comparators (RESET, LOW LINE, PFI, BATT OK, battery switchover, and watchdog transition detector) with a state machine and oscillator. Its BiCMOS process enables ±1.5% reset threshold accuracy and 70µA typical supply current while supporting simultaneous functions: reset assertion during VCC brownout, NMI generation via LOW LINE at 4.627V (4.575V + 52mV), and automatic CMOS RAM backup switchover when VCC falls below VBATT.
It implements chip-enable gating with 75Ω series resistance and 2ns propagation delay (typical), ensuring glitch-free memory access during power transitions. The watchdog timer clears on WDI transition or RESET assertion, and remains disabled if WDI is unconnected or VCC < reset threshold - enabling safe default behavior in absence of µP activity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.575V ±1.5% - precise power-fail detection for +5V systems; ensures µP reset before logic corruption occurs. |
| Reset Timeout Period | 200ms - guarantees sufficient time for µP initialization and register clearing after power recovery. |
| Supply Current (Normal Mode) | 70µA typ - enables long battery life in portable equipment without sacrificing supervision fidelity. |
| VCC-to-OUT Drive Capability | 250mA - directly powers CMOS RAM or real-time clocks without external FETs in main-supply mode. |
| Battery-Backup Output Current | 20mA - sustains low-power logic (e.g., RTC, SRAM) during extended VCC loss with minimal battery drain. |
| Low-Line Threshold Offset | 52mV above reset threshold - provides deterministic early warning (4.627V) for orderly software shutdown before reset. |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6s typ - detects µP lockup while allowing sufficient time for complex firmware tasks between WDI toggles. |
Pinout & Package
MAX807NEPE+ is supplied in a 16-pin plastic DIP package (0.3-inch width), RoHS-compliant and lead-free. Pin numbering follows standard DIP orientation with notch or dot marking pin 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PFI | Power-Fail Input | Noninverting input to uncommitted comparator; sets early power-fail warning threshold via external resistor divider. |
| PFO | Power-Fail Output | Active-low CMOS output asserted when PFI < 2.265V; used for NMI or system-level shutdown signaling. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Primary return path for all internal circuits and output drivers; requires local 0.1µF bypass to VCC. |
| VCC | Main Supply Input | +4.50V to +5.5V nominal supply; powers internal logic and enables VCC-mode output drive (250mA). |
| BATT | Backup Battery Input | Accepts 2.0V–6.0V battery source; enables automatic switchover to preserve RAM/RTC during main supply loss. |
| OUT | Output Supply Voltage | Switched output connected to VCC (normal) or BATT (backup); bypass with 0.1µF capacitor to GND. |
| RESET | Active-Low Reset Output | Asserted low during power-up, brownout, or MR activation; valid down to VCC = 1V; wire-OR capable. |
| RESET | Active-High Reset Output | Inverse of RESET; CMOS output sourcing/sinking capability; not wire-OR compatible. |
| WDO | Watchdog Fault Output | Active-low output asserted if WDI remains static >1.6s; connects to MR to auto-generate watchdog resets. |
| CE OUT | Chip-Enable Output | Gated CE signal passed from CE IN; pulled high to max(VCC, VBATT) when disabled to prevent memory corruption. |
| CE IN | Chip-Enable Input | Input to internal transmission gate; high-impedance during reset to isolate memory interface from unstable CE signals. |
| BATT ON | Battery-On Status Flag | CMOS output high when OUT is connected to BATT; drives external PNP/PMOS 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 output triggered when VCC falls to 4.627V (52mV above reset); used for nonmaskable interrupt. |
| BATT OK | Battery-OK Status Flag | Active-high output asserted when VBATT > 2.265V; confirms backup battery readiness prior to switchover. |
| WDI | Watchdog Input | Edge-sensitive input; toggling within 1.6s prevents WDO assertion; open-circuit disables watchdog function. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ±1.5% Reset Threshold Accuracy | Ensures deterministic reset timing across temperature (-40°C to +85°C) and supply variation, eliminating need for external trimming. |
| Two-Stage Power Monitoring | Combines 4.575V reset detection with 4.627V low-line warning - enables 52mV guardband for controlled software shutdown before hardware reset. |
| Integrated Chip-Enable Gating | 2ns CE propagation delay and automatic disable during reset prevent spurious writes to CMOS RAM during power transients. |
| Dual-Mode Output Switching | Seamlessly transitions OUT between VCC (250mA drive) and BATT (20mA drive) based on voltage comparison - no external control logic required. |
| Independent Watchdog Timer | Self-contained 1.6s timeout with WDI edge detection and WDO/MR interlock - provides fail-safe µP supervision without CPU intervention. |
| Battery-OK Monitoring | Dedicated 2.265V comparator with 20mV hysteresis validates backup battery health before switchover, preventing data loss from weak batteries. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX809SEUS+T | Simpler 3-pin SOT23 supervisor; single 2.93V reset threshold; no watchdog, battery switchover, or CE gating. | Only suitable for basic reset-only applications; cannot replace MAX807NEPE+ in systems requiring dual RESET outputs, LOW LINE warning, or RAM backup. | Select only if design needs only power-on reset with minimal footprint and cost - no functional substitution for full supervision. |
| TPS3808G18DBVR | TI supervisor with 1.8V threshold, 200ms delay, and watchdog; lacks battery switchover, BATT OK, and CE gating; different pinout and voltage range (0.8–6V). | Applicable for low-voltage µPs but incompatible with +5V systems requiring 4.575V reset; no support for CMOS RAM backup or power-fail comparator. | Consider for new 1.8V/3.3V designs where battery backup is handled externally; not drop-in or functional replacement for MAX807NEPE+. |
Compared with MAX807NEPE+, MAX809SEUS+T omits all advanced supervision features (watchdog, battery management, CE gating), while TPS3808G18DBVR targets lower-voltage domains and lacks critical +5V-specific functions like low-line warning and BATT OK - making both unsuitable as direct replacements in existing MAX807NEPE+ designs.

FAQ
What is the reset threshold voltage of the MAX807NEPE+?
The MAX807NEPE+ has a nominal reset threshold of 4.575V with ±1.5% accuracy over temperature and supply voltage. This value is fixed for the "N" version and is guaranteed across the operating range of VCC = 4.50V to 5.5V. The threshold is internally trimmed and does not require external components. This precise voltage ensures reliable reset assertion before µP operation becomes unstable in +5V systems.
Does the MAX807NEPE+ support battery backup for CMOS RAM?
Yes, the MAX807NEPE+ provides fully integrated battery backup functionality. When VCC falls below the reset threshold and VBATT is present, the device automatically switches the OUT pin from VCC to BATT, delivering up to 20mA to preserve CMOS RAM or real-time clocks. The BATT OK output confirms VBATT > 2.265V before switchover, and the BATT ON pin can drive an external PMOS switch for higher-current loads.
How does the watchdog timer in the MAX807NEPE+ operate?
The MAX807NEPE+ watchdog timer asserts WDO low if the WDI input remains static (high or low) for longer than 1.6 seconds. A transition on WDI clears the timer and returns WDO high, provided RESET is deasserted. If WDI is left unconnected, the internal voltage divider holds it at ~1.8V, disabling the watchdog. Connecting WDO to MR enables automatic system resets on watchdog faults.
Can the MAX807NEPE+ generate an early power-fail warning?
Yes, the MAX807NEPE+ provides two independent early warning paths: the LOW LINE output triggers at VCC = 4.627V (52mV above the 4.575V reset threshold), and the PFI/PFO comparator allows user-defined thresholds via external resistors. Both outputs are CMOS-compatible and can drive µP NMIs to initiate software-controlled shutdown before hardware reset occurs.
What package type is used for the MAX807NEPE+?
The MAX807NEPE+ is packaged in a 16-pin plastic DIP (dual in-line package) with 0.3-inch body width and RoHS-compliant, lead-free finish. This through-hole package supports legacy board assembly and provides robust thermal and mechanical performance for industrial applications requiring long-term reliability.
