Product details
Overview
MAX809MEUR-T from Maxim Integrated is a 3-pin SOT23-packaged microprocessor supervisory circuit with push-pull active-low RESET output, 4.38V reset threshold (±2.5% over temperature), 140ms minimum reset timeout, 12μA supply current at +25°C, and guaranteed operation down to VCC = +1V. It monitors +3.3V/+5V digital power rails in embedded controllers and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX809MEUR-T datasheet, MAX809MEUR-T pinout, MAX809MEUR-T application, or MAX809MEUR-T equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal performance across –40°C to +105°C, SOT23 footprint compatibility, and precise reset timing behavior under brownout and power-up conditions.
Technical Context
The MAX809MEUR-T implements a precision bandgap-based voltage comparator with hysteresis-free threshold detection and internal timer logic to generate a minimum 140ms reset pulse after VCC rises above 4.38V. Its push-pull output drives CMOS/TTL loads directly without external pullup components.
Designed for single-supply monitoring, it ignores fast VCC transients ≤20μs (at 100mV overdrive) and maintains valid RESET state down to VCC = +1V-enabling reliable reset assertion during deep brownout recovery in battery-powered systems.

Applications
| Industrial Controller Monitoring | Portable Medical Instrumentation |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Real-time PLC I/O module powered from +3.3V rail with intermittent brownouts due to shared industrial bus coupling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervisory circuit asserting active-low RESET to ARM Cortex-M4 until +3.3V stabilizes above 4.38V for ≥140ms. Use Value: Prevents corrupted register writes and firmware lockup during transient dips-ensures deterministic boot sequence after line disturbance. | Use Scenario: Handheld glucose meter using CR2032 battery; VCC decays from 3.3V to 1.8V during end-of-life discharge. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Reset generator holding microcontroller in reset while VCC falls below 4.38V and for 140ms after recovery. Use Value: Guarantees safe shutdown and data retention before supply drops below 1.2V operational limit-avoids memory corruption. |
| Automotive Body Control Module | Smart Energy Metering Hardware |
Use Scenario: 12V-to-3.3V converted supply powering CAN controller and EEPROM in door module; experiences cold-crank dips to 2.8V. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Voltage supervisor triggering reset when converted 3.3V rail falls below 4.38V threshold (monitors pre-regulator input). Use Value: Enables fail-safe reinitialization of CAN transceiver and flash memory controller before communication resumes-meets ISO 16750-2 pulse 4 immunity. | Use Scenario: Three-phase electricity meter with isolated +5V auxiliary supply; subject to lightning-induced surges causing brief VCC collapse. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Reset circuit asserting active-low signal to MSP430F676x during sub-100ms dips below 4.38V on +5V rail.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3808G12DBVR | 4.25V threshold, 200ms reset timeout, 1.2μA IQ, SOT23-5 package | Requires external capacitor for timeout adjustment; lower IQ but larger footprint | Select when ultra-low power (<2μA) and adjustable timeout are prioritized over fixed 140ms and 3-pin simplicity |
| STM809MTR | 4.39V threshold, 240ms reset timeout, 15μA IQ, SOT23-3 package | Longer timeout may delay system startup; same pinout but different timing behavior | Choose when longer reset hold time improves reliability in systems with slow clock stabilization |
Compared with TPS3808G12DBVR and STM809MTR, the MAX809MEUR-T delivers tighter threshold accuracy (±2.5% vs ±3.5%), fixed 140ms timing without external components, and identical SOT23-3 footprint-making it optimal for space-constrained, cost-sensitive industrial designs requiring deterministic reset behavior.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX809MEUR-T and how does it vary with temperature?
The MAX809MEUR-T has a nominal reset threshold of 4.38V at +25°C, with guaranteed limits of 4.25V (min) to 4.50V (max) over –40°C to +85°C, and 4.16V to 4.56V over –40°C to +125°C. Its tempco is 30ppm/°C, resulting in <0.3% total drift across its rated –40°C to +105°C operating range. This precision ensures consistent reset behavior across environmental conditions without calibration.
Does MAX809MEUR-T require an external pullup resistor on the RESET pin?
No, the MAX809MEUR-T features a push-pull active-low RESET output and does not require an external pullup resistor. Its output actively drives high (VOH ≥ 0.8×VCC) and low (VOL ≤ 0.3V at 1.2mA sink), enabling direct connection to standard CMOS/TTL reset inputs. This eliminates BOM cost and layout area versus open-drain alternatives like the MAX803 series.
What is the minimum VCC voltage at which MAX809MEUR-T guarantees valid RESET output state?
The MAX809MEUR-T guarantees correct RESET logic state (low during reset, high otherwise) for VCC down to +1.0V. Below 1.0V, the output enters high-impedance state. This feature allows reliable reset assertion during deep brownout events common in battery-powered systems, ensuring microcontrollers remain held in reset until supply recovers sufficiently for stable operation.
How does MAX809MEUR-T handle fast power supply transients?
The MAX809MEUR-T incorporates comparator hysteresis and internal filtering to reject VCC transients ≤20μs wide when the overdrive (VTH – VCC) is 100mV. For example, a 100mV dip below 4.38V lasting ≤20μs will not trigger a false reset. This immunity is validated per typical operating characteristics graphs in the datasheet and enables robust operation in electrically noisy environments such as motor control or switching power supply proximity.
Is MAX809MEUR-T pin-compatible with other members of the MAX809 family?
Yes, all MAX809 variants-including MAX809LEUR-T, MAX809JEUR-T, and MAX809TEUR-T-share identical SOT23-3 pinout (GND, RESET, VCC) and push-pull active-low output architecture. Only the reset threshold voltage differs between suffixes (e.g., J = 4.00V, M = 4.38V, L = 4.63V). This allows drop-in replacement across voltage variants without PCB redesign, provided the target supply rail matches the selected threshold.
