Product details
Overview
MAX809LEXR+T10 from Maxim Integrated is a precision 3-pin microprocessor supervisory circuit with push-pull active-low RESET output, designed to monitor +5V power supplies and assert reset during brownout or power-up conditions. It features a 4.63V reset threshold (±2.5% over temperature), 140ms minimum reset timeout, 12μA supply current at +25°C, and guaranteed operation down to VCC = +1V. It is used in automotive ECUs and industrial controllers requiring AEC-Q100-compliant voltage monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the MAX809LEXR+T10 datasheet, MAX809LEXR+T10 pinout, MAX809LEXR+T10 application, or MAX809LEXR+T10 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, package mapping to SC70-3, confirmed reset timing behavior, thermal performance across –40°C to +125°C, and validated alternatives for +5V μP reset supervision.
Technical Context
The MAX809LEXR+T10 implements a precision bandgap-based voltage comparator with hysteresis to detect VCC drops below 4.63V, triggering an active-low push-pull RESET signal. Its internal timing circuit ensures a minimum 140ms reset assertion after VCC recovers above threshold, independent of external components.
It operates across –40°C to +125°C with ±2.5% reset threshold accuracy over full temperature range, supports transient immunity up to 100mV/20μs glitches, and maintains valid logic state on RESET output down to VCC = +1V - critical for fail-safe microcontroller initialization in automotive environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.63V ±2.5% over –40°C to +125°C - ensures reliable reset initiation before +5V supply falls below 4.5V system margin. |
| Reset Timeout | 140ms (min) after VCC rise - guarantees sufficient hold time for μP core and PLL lock during power-up. |
| Supply Current | 12μA typical at +25°C - enables use in always-on automotive modules without battery drain concerns. |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.2V to 5.5V - allows functional reset assertion even during deep brownout, down to 1.2V input. |
| Output Type | Push-pull active-low RESET - eliminates need for external pullup and drives CMOS inputs directly. |
| Temperature Range | –40°C to +125°C - qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 0 for under-hood automotive applications. |
| Reset Valid Down To | VCC = +1V - RESET remains low and well-defined until supply collapses, preventing spurious release. |
Pinout & Package
MAX809LEXR+T10 is housed in a 3-pin SC70 package (package code X3+2), measuring 2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.9mm, with gull-wing leads and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating. The package supports reflow soldering up to +260°C and is rated for 174mW dissipation at +70°C (derated 2.17mW/°C above).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 GND | Ground reference | Low-impedance return path for internal comparator and output stage; must be connected to system ground plane. |
| 2 RESET | Active-low push-pull reset output | Drives low (≤0.4V @ 3.2mA) when VCC < 4.63V or during timeout; high (≥0.8×VCC) otherwise - directly interfaces μP reset pin. |
| 3 VCC | Supply input | Monitored +5V rail input; powers internal circuitry and defines reset threshold reference - bypass with 0.1μF ceramic near pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision 4.63V threshold | ±2.5% tolerance over –40°C to +125°C - eliminates need for external calibration and supports tight +5V system margins. |
| 140ms min reset timeout | Guaranteed minimum assertion time - ensures μP completes internal POR and clock stabilization before release. |
| 12μA supply current | Ultra-low quiescent draw - extends battery life in always-on automotive modules and portable instrumentation. |
| VCC = +1V reset validity | RESET remains asserted and logic-low down to 1V supply - prevents premature μP wake-up during deep brownout. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualified | Validated for automotive under-hood use (–40°C to +125°C) - meets reliability and stress-test requirements for ECU deployment. |
Applications
| Automotive Engine Control Unit (ECU) | Industrial Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset supervision applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX809JEXR+T | 4.00V reset threshold (vs. 4.63V); same SC70-3 package, AEC-Q100 Grade 0, push-pull active-low output. | Designed for +3.3V systems; not suitable for +5V monitoring without risk of premature reset assertion. | Select only when supervising 3.3V rails - verify VTH matches target supply nominal and tolerance stack-up. |
| TLV809MDBZR | 4.38V threshold, SOT-23-3 package, –40°C to +125°C, but not AEC-Q100 qualified; 1.8μA typical ICC. | Lacks automotive qualification and guaranteed 140ms timeout - requires external timing verification for safety-critical use. | Acceptable for industrial non-safety applications where cost and ultra-low current outweigh qualification needs. |
Compared with MAX809LEXR+T10, MAX809JEXR+T provides lower-threshold supervision for 3.3V systems but cannot replace it in +5V applications, while TLV809MDBZR offers lower current and smaller footprint but lacks AEC-Q100 validation and guaranteed reset timing - making MAX809LEXR+T10 the sole choice for automotive-grade +5V reset assurance.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX809LEXR+T10 and how does it vary with temperature?
The MAX809LEXR+T10 has a nominal reset threshold of 4.63V at +25°C, with guaranteed limits of 4.44V to 4.82V over –40°C to +125°C (SC70 package). Its tempco is ≤30ppm/°C, ensuring minimal drift across automotive operating conditions - critical for maintaining consistent reset behavior during thermal cycling in engine control modules.
Does MAX809LEXR+T10 support operation down to 1V supply, and what happens to the RESET output below that?
Yes, MAX809LEXR+T10 guarantees valid RESET output down to VCC = +1V: RESET remains low (≤0.4V) while VCC is below threshold or during timeout. Below +1V, the output enters high-impedance state - but since most μPs are non-functional below 1V, this poses no issue. For systems requiring validity to 0V, a pull-down resistor on RESET is recommended.
Is MAX809LEXR+T10 pin-compatible with other MAX809 variants like MAX809JEXR+T?
Yes, MAX809LEXR+T10 is pin-compatible with all MAX809 variants in SC70-3 package (e.g., MAX809JEXR+T, MAX809TEXR+T), sharing identical pinout (GND, RESET, VCC), footprint, and solder profile. However, threshold voltage differs - substituting MAX809JEXR+T (4.00V) in a +5V system risks premature reset assertion and is not functionally interchangeable.
What is the minimum reset pulse width guaranteed by MAX809LEXR+T10, and is it affected by temperature?
MAX809LEXR+T10 guarantees a minimum reset pulse width of 140ms after VCC rises above threshold, valid across –40°C to +85°C. At +85°C to +125°C, the minimum remains 140ms, though typical timeout extends to 460ms (SC70). This ensures robust POR timing regardless of ambient temperature - essential for automotive under-hood reliability.
How does MAX809LEXR+T10 handle fast VCC transients, and what is its immunity specification?
MAX809LEXR+T10 ignores negative-going VCC transients ≤100mV in magnitude and ≤20μs duration - verified per datasheet Figure 1. This immunity is achieved via internal comparator hysteresis and filtering, preventing false resets during switching noise or load dump events common in automotive 12V systems.
