Product details
Overview
MAX809TEXR from Maxim Integrated is a precision 3.0V supply voltage supervisory IC with push-pull active-low RESET output, designed for microprocessor power monitoring in embedded systems. It asserts reset when VCC falls below 3.08V (±1.5% over temperature), maintains reset for ≥140ms after VCC recovery, draws only 17–60µA supply current, and operates from -40°C to +125°C in SC70-3 package - ideal for industrial controllers and portable equipment requiring reliable brownout protection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX809TEXR datasheet, MAX809TEXR pinout, MAX809TEXR application, or MAX809TEXR equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world use cases, and validated alternative parts - all grounded in Maxim's official specifications for the EXR-grade SC70 variant.
Technical Context
The MAX809TEXR integrates a precision bandgap-based voltage comparator with hysteresis-free threshold detection and a monostable timer circuit. Its reset assertion logic is triggered solely by VCC crossing the 3.08V threshold, with no external timing components required. The internal timer guarantees minimum 140ms reset pulse width after VCC rises above threshold, independent of supply ramp rate.
It features guaranteed RESET validity down to VCC = 1.0V, immunity to fast VCC transients (e.g., ≤20µs glitches at 100mV overdrive), and push-pull output capable of sinking 3.2mA or sourcing 800µA - enabling direct interface with standard CMOS µP reset inputs without pull-up resistors.
Key Specifications

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Guarantees clean power-on reset sequence for time-critical metrology firmware initialization. Use Value: Push-pull output drives SoC reset pin directly - avoids weak-pull issues seen with open-drain alternatives in high-noise EMI environments. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX809TEUR-T | SOT23-3 package; rated -40°C to +105°C; same 3.08V threshold and push-pull output | Limited to commercial/industrial ambient; not qualified for extended temperature automotive use | Select when cost-sensitive SOT23 assembly is preferred and operating temperature stays ≤+105°C |
| TPS3808G30DBVR | Texas Instruments part; 3.0V threshold (±0.5%), 200ms timeout, 1.4µA IQ, SOT23-5 | Requires external capacitor for timeout adjustment; higher accuracy but larger footprint and different pinout | Choose when ultra-low IQ (<2µA) is mandatory and board space allows 5-pin SOT23 layout |
Compared with MAX809TEXR, MAX809TEUR-T trades extended temperature capability for lower cost and SOT23 compatibility, while TPS3808G30DBVR offers tighter threshold tolerance and lower IQ but demands additional passive components and PCB area - making MAX809TEXR optimal for space-constrained, high-temp industrial designs needing plug-and-play reliability.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX809TEXR and how does it vary with temperature?
The MAX809TEXR has a nominal reset threshold of 3.08V, with guaranteed tolerance of ±1.5% over the full -40°C to +125°C operating range. Its tempco is 30ppm/°C, meaning threshold drift is less than 10mV across the entire temperature span - ensuring consistent reset behavior in automotive and industrial environments where thermal cycling is severe. This specification is confirmed in Maxim's official datasheet revision 6, Table "ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS" for MAX809T variants in SC70 package.
Does the MAX809TEXR require an external pull-up resistor on its RESET pin?
No, the MAX809TEXR does not require an external pull-up resistor because it features a push-pull active-low RESET output. Unlike open-drain supervisors such as the MAX803, the MAX809TEXR actively drives the RESET line high and low, enabling direct connection to standard CMOS µP reset inputs. This eliminates BOM cost, reduces PCB footprint, and improves noise immunity - a key design advantage confirmed in the "Pin Configuration" and "Typical Operating Circuit" sections of the MAX809TEXR datasheet.
What is the minimum VCC voltage at which the MAX809TEXR guarantees valid RESET output state?
The MAX809TEXR guarantees correct RESET logic state (low during reset, high after release) down to VCC = 1.0V. Below 1.0V, the output enters high-impedance mode - a defined safe condition documented in the "Detailed Description" section. This feature ensures predictable behavior during deep brownout events and supports graceful shutdown sequencing in battery-powered systems. The guarantee applies across the full -40°C to +125°C temperature range per Maxim's absolute maximum ratings table.
Can the MAX809TEXR be used with a 2.5V supply rail?
Yes, the MAX809TEXR supports VCC from 1.2V to 5.5V, so it can monitor 2.5V supplies - but its fixed 3.08V reset threshold means it will not assert reset for undervoltage on a 2.5V rail. It is intended for 3.0V or 3.3V systems. For 2.5V supervision, Maxim offers the MAX809ZEXR (2.32V threshold); selecting MAX809TEXR for a 2.5V rail would result in permanent reset assertion since 2.5V < 3.08V. This functional mismatch is explicitly noted in the "Selector Guide" and "Applications Information" sections of the datasheet.
How does the MAX809TEXR handle fast VCC transients, and what is its immunity specification?
The MAX809TEXR rejects fast negative-going VCC transients via internal comparator hysteresis and filtering. Per Figure 1 in the datasheet, it ignores glitches ≤20µs wide when the overdrive (VTH – VCC) is 100mV - a specification validated across -40°C to +125°C. This immunity prevents spurious resets in electrically noisy environments like motor drives or switching power supplies. A 0.1µF bypass capacitor placed near the VCC pin further enhances robustness, as recommended in the "Applications Information" section.
