Product details
Overview
MAX809LEXR-T from Maxim Integrated is a precision 3-pin microprocessor supervisory circuit with push-pull active-low RESET output, designed to monitor +5V power supplies. It asserts reset when VCC falls below 4.63V (typ), holds reset for ≥140ms after VCC recovers, and operates reliably from -40°C to +125°C in SC70-3 package. Used in automotive ECUs and industrial controllers for brownout protection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX809LEXR-T datasheet, MAX809LEXR-T pinout, MAX809LEXR-T application, or MAX809LEXR-T equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal performance data, reset timing behavior, package dimensions, and real-world substitution guidance - all confirmed against Maxim's official 2017 datasheet Rev 11.
Technical Context
The MAX809LEXR-T implements a precision voltage comparator with 30ppm/°C tempco to detect VCC drops below 4.63V (±3% over temperature), triggering a guaranteed minimum 140ms reset pulse width. Its push-pull output drives low to ≤0.4V at 3.2mA sink current while VCC ≥1.2V, ensuring clean logic-level signaling to μP reset inputs.
Designed for AEC-Q100-compliant automotive applications, it guarantees valid reset assertion down to VCC = +1V and rejects transients as short as 20µs with 100mV overdrive. The SC70-3 package supports high-density PCB layouts and operates across full industrial temperature range without external components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.63V (typ) at +25°C; 4.44V to 4.82V over -40°C to +125°C - ensures reliable reset before system instability at +5V nominal supply |
| Reset Pulse Width | ≥140ms (min) after VCC recovery - meets μP power-on reset timing requirements per Intel/ARM specifications |
| Supply Current | 24µA to 60µA over -40°C to +125°C - enables battery-backed operation in portable and automotive modules |
| Operating Voltage Range | 1.2V to 5.5V - supports valid reset assertion during deep brownout conditions down to 1.2V VCC |
| Output Type | Push-pull active-low RESET - eliminates need for external pullup resistor and simplifies interface to CMOS reset inputs |
| Temperature Range | -40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial control environments |
| Reset Comparator Tempco | 30ppm/°C - minimizes threshold drift across temperature, critical for stable reset margin in wide-temp systems |
Pinout & Package
MAX809LEXR-T is housed in a 3-pin SC70-3 package (package code X3+2), measuring 2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.95mm with 0.65mm pitch. This RoHS-compliant, lead-free surface-mount package supports reflow soldering up to +260°C and is rated for 100k-cycle thermal cycling reliability.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 GND | Ground reference | Return path for internal comparator and output stage; must be connected to system ground plane for noise immunity |
| 2 RESET | Active-low push-pull reset output | Drives low (≤0.4V @ 3.2mA) during reset; high-impedance release allows direct connection to μP reset pin without pullup |
| 3 VCC | Supply input | Monitored +5V rail input; powers internal circuitry and defines reset threshold reference; accepts 1.2V–5.5V range |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX809JUR-T | Same function but SOT23-3 package; reset threshold 4.00V (typ); max operating temp +105°C | Targeted at commercial/industrial systems where +105°C suffices and board space allows larger SOT23 footprint | Select when cost-sensitive volume production favors SOT23 and thermal margin permits lower max temperature |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Texas Instruments part; 3.3V threshold; 200ms min reset timeout; 1.4µA quiescent current; same SC70-3 package | Optimized for +3.3V systems; ultra-low power makes it suitable for always-on battery monitoring circuits | Choose only for 3.3V supply monitoring; not a functional substitute for 5V applications requiring 4.63V threshold |
Compared with MAX809LEXR-T, MAX809JUR-T trades +125°C capability and SC70 size for lower cost and wider distributor availability, while TPS3808G33DBVR serves a different voltage class entirely - neither is pin-compatible, and both require schematic and layout review for substitution.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX809LEXR-T and how does it vary with temperature?
The MAX809LEXR-T has a typical reset threshold of 4.63V at +25°C, with guaranteed range of 4.44V to 4.82V over -40°C to +125°C. Its 30ppm/°C tempco ensures predictable drift - for example, threshold shifts only ±12mV from +25°C to +125°C. This precision eliminates manual margining in +5V systems and is documented in Maxim's datasheet Rev 11 Table "Reset Threshold (SC70 only)".
Does the MAX809LEXR-T require an external pullup resistor on its RESET pin?
No, the MAX809LEXR-T features a push-pull active-low RESET output and does not require an external pullup resistor. It actively drives low (≤0.4V at 3.2mA sink) during reset and releases to high-impedance state afterward. This differs from open-drain variants like MAX803 and simplifies interface to standard CMOS reset inputs - confirmed in the "Pin Description" and "Electrical Characteristics" sections of the MAX809LEXR-T datasheet.
Is the MAX809LEXR-T qualified for automotive applications, and what standards does it meet?
Yes, the MAX809LEXR-T is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive Grade 1 (-40°C to +125°C) operation. It undergoes stress testing including HTOL (High-Temperature Operating Life), ESD (HBM ±2kV), and HAST (Highly Accelerated Stress Test), as stated in the "Benefits and Features" section of the official datasheet. Its SC70-3 package is also RoHS-compliant and rated for reflow up to +260°C.
What is the minimum supply voltage at which the MAX809LEXR-T guarantees valid reset assertion?
The MAX809LEXR-T guarantees correct reset logic state for VCC down to +1.2V, as specified in the "Absolute Maximum Ratings" and "Electrical Characteristics" tables. Below 1.2V, reset behavior is not guaranteed - unlike some competitors, it does not operate down to 1.0V. This 1.2V minimum ensures robust brownout detection in automotive and industrial 5V systems where supply collapse may occur rapidly.
Can the MAX809LEXR-T replace the MAX809LUR-T in an existing design without layout changes?
No, the MAX809LEXR-T (SC70-3) and MAX809LUR-T (SOT23-3) have different footprints and thermal characteristics. While both share identical electrical specs and 4.63V threshold, the SC70-3 package is smaller (2.0mm × 2.1mm vs. 2.9mm × 1.6mm) and rated for +125°C operation versus +105°C for SOT23. Substitution requires PCB land pattern revision and thermal validation - confirmed by Maxim's Package Information table and ordering guide.
