Product details
Overview
The MAX807NEWE+ from Maxim Integrated is a full-featured microprocessor supervisory circuit designed for power monitoring, battery switchover, and watchdog protection in 5V µP systems. It provides ±1.5% reset threshold accuracy (4.575V), 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 critical embedded controllers requiring reliable brownout detection and orderly shutdown.
For engineers reviewing the MAX807NEWE+ datasheet, MAX807NEWE+ pinout, MAX807NEWE+ application, or MAX807NEWE+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4.575V reset threshold with 1.5% tolerance, guaranteed RESET validity down to VCC = 1V, low-line comparator with 52mV offset above reset threshold, and integrated chip-enable gating with 2ns propagation delay - all validated for industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) in TSSOP-16 package.
Technical Context
The MAX807NEWE+ integrates seven functional blocks: reset comparator with hysteresis, low-line comparator (52mV above reset threshold), power-fail comparator (2.265V threshold), battery-OK detector (2.265V), watchdog timer (1.6s timeout), manual-reset input with internal pullup, and bidirectional CE gating path. Its BiCMOS process enables 70µA typical supply current in normal mode and 1µA standby current in battery-backup mode while maintaining precise voltage thresholds.
All logic outputs (RESET, RESET, WDO, PFO, BATT OK, LOW LINE, BATT ON, CE OUT) are CMOS-compatible, rail-to-rail (VCC/GND or higher-of-VCC/VBATT), and specified across –40°C to +85°C. The device supports seamless switchover between VCC and VBATT for CMOS RAM backup, with on-resistance of 1.2Ω (VCC→OUT) and 16Ω (VBATT→OUT), and guarantees valid reset assertion even when VCC drops to 1V.

Pinout & Package
The MAX807NEWE+ is supplied in a 16-pin TSSOP package (4.4mm × 5.0mm, 0.65mm pitch), RoHS-compliant and lead-free.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PFI | Power-Fail Input | Noninverting input of uncommitted comparator; triggers PFO low when voltage falls below 2.265V - used for preregulated supply monitoring |
| PFO | Power-Fail Output | Active-low CMOS output asserting NMI on falling supply; sinks 3.2mA at 0.1V saturation |
| GND | Ground Reference | Common return for all analog and digital functions; bypass capacitor required at VCC and OUT pins |
| VCC | Main Supply Input | Nominal +5V input (4.50V–5.5V operating range); powers internal circuitry and drives CE OUT and RESET outputs |
| BATT | Backup Battery Input | Accepts 2.0V–6V battery; enables automatic switchover to preserve RAM/RTC data during main supply failure |
| OUT | Output Supply Voltage | Switched output connected to VCC or BATT; delivers regulated power to CMOS RAM with <1.2Ω on-resistance |
| RESET | Active-Low Reset Output | Strong-pull-down/weak-pullup output asserted during power-up/down/brownout; valid down to VCC = 1V |
| RESET | Active-High Reset Output | Inverted CMOS output sourcing/sinking current; not wire-OR capable but fully rail-to-rail |
| WDO | Watchdog Fault Output | Asserts low if WDI is not toggled within 1.6s; connects to MR to generate automatic watchdog resets |
| CE OUT | Chip-Enable Output | Gated CE signal passed from CE IN; pulled to higher-of-VCC/VBATT when disabled to prevent memory corruption |
| CE IN | Chip-Enable Input | High-impedance during reset (±1µA leakage); series 75Ω resistance in enabled mode for controlled drive |
| 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 Comparator Output | Asserts low when VCC falls to 52mV above reset threshold; generates NMI for software-controlled shutdown |
| BATT ON | Battery-On Status Flag | Indicates OUT is connected to BATT; drives external PNP/PMOS switch for >250mA load requirements |
| BATT OK | Battery-OK Status Flag | High when VBATT > 2.265V; confirms backup battery is present and above minimum operating voltage |
| WDI | Watchdog Input | Edge-sensitive input; internal voltage divider disables watchdog if left floating (1.8V typical) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar µP supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX809SEUR+T | SOT23-3, single active-low reset only, no watchdog, no battery switchover, 4.63V threshold | Limited to basic reset-only use cases; unsuitable for RAM backup or watchdog-critical systems | Select only when size and cost outweigh need for supervision features beyond reset |
| TPS3808G12DBVR | SOT23-6, adjustable reset threshold (1.2V–5.5V), 200ms timeout, no battery switchover or CE gating | Flexible threshold but lacks integrated power-path control and backup monitoring required for portable RAM retention | Choose when custom voltage monitoring is needed but battery backup is handled externally |
Compared with MAX807NEWE+, the MAX809SEUR+T reduces footprint and cost but sacrifices all advanced supervision features; the TPS3808G12DBVR offers voltage flexibility yet requires external circuitry for battery switchover and CE protection - neither matches the integrated functionality and guaranteed 1V reset validity of the MAX807NEWE+.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX807NEWE+ and how tightly is it specified?
The MAX807NEWE+ has a nominal reset threshold of 4.575V with ±1.5% accuracy over temperature (–40°C to +85°C), meaning the actual threshold falls between 4.500V and 4.650V. This precision is achieved using BiCMOS technology and is guaranteed by production testing - critical for systems where 5V supply margin is tight and undetected brownout could cause data corruption. The MAX807NEWE+ datasheet specifies this value under "ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS" with VRST parameter.
Does the MAX807NEWE+ support battery backup for CMOS RAM, and what are the current limits?
Yes, the MAX807NEWE+ provides automatic switchover from VCC to VBATT to maintain power to CMOS RAM during main supply failure. In battery-backup mode, it delivers up to 20mA at OUT with ≤16Ω on-resistance (VBATT→OUT), and guarantees BATT OK status when VBATT exceeds 2.265V. The device also supports external PNP/PMOS switches via the BATT ON output for loads exceeding 20mA - enabling robust RAM retention in portable equipment.
How does the watchdog function work on the MAX807NEWE+, and can it trigger a system reset automatically?
The MAX807NEWE+ watchdog timer asserts WDO low if the WDI input remains static (high or low) for longer than 1.6s. To generate an automatic system reset on each watchdog fault, connect WDO to MR via a diode - this pulls MR low, causing a 200ms reset pulse. The internal timer clears immediately upon reset assertion, ensuring synchronized recovery. WDI can be left unconnected to disable the watchdog, as it defaults to ~1.8V via internal divider.
What is the purpose of the LOW LINE output on the MAX807NEWE+, and how does it differ from the RESET signal?
The LOW LINE output on the MAX807NEWE+ goes low when VCC falls to 52mV above the reset threshold (e.g., ~4.627V for the 4.575V part), providing an early warning before RESET asserts. Unlike RESET - which halts µP execution - LOW LINE is intended to trigger a non-maskable interrupt (NMI) for software-initiated graceful shutdown. Its 13mV hysteresis prevents chatter during slow VCC decay, giving firmware time to save state before power collapse.
Can the MAX807NEWE+ monitor power supplies other than +5V, and how is that configured?
Yes, the MAX807NEWE+ can monitor non-5V supplies using its dedicated PFI input and 2.265V power-fail comparator. To monitor a different voltage (e.g., 3.3V or 12V), connect PFI through a resistor divider that scales the target supply down to 2.265V at the trip point. The PFO output then asserts low when the scaled voltage falls below threshold - enabling early warning for any supply rail, independent of the main VCC domain.
