Product details
Overview
MAX809ZEXR+T from Maxim Integrated is a 3-pin SC70-packaged microprocessor supervisory circuit with push-pull active-low RESET output, designed to monitor +2.5V power supplies. It asserts reset when VCC falls below 2.32V (typ), holds reset for ≥140ms after VCC recovers, operates from -40°C to +125°C, draws only 17µA (typ) at VCC = 2.5V, and guarantees valid reset down to VCC = 1V - used in automotive and industrial embedded systems requiring high-temperature reliability.
For engineers reviewing the MAX809ZEXR+T datasheet, MAX809ZEXR+T pinout, MAX809ZEXR+T application, or MAX809ZEXR+T equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal operating limits, reset timing behavior, package dimensions, and direct alternatives for critical power-monitoring designs where supply voltage accuracy and extended temperature stability are mandatory.
Technical Context
The MAX809ZEXR+T implements a precision bandgap-based reset comparator with 30ppm/°C tempco, ensuring stable 2.32V threshold across -40°C to +125°C. Its push-pull output drives low with ≤0.3V at 1.2mA sink current and remains functional even as VCC decays to 1V.
It features built-in immunity to fast VCC transients: a 100mV overdrive (VTH − VCC) negative glitch ≤20µs does not trigger spurious reset. The device requires no external components and integrates all supervision logic into a single 3-pin SC70 footprint.

Pinout & Package
MAX809ZEXR+T is housed in a 3-pin SC70 package (package code X3+2), measuring 2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.95mm, with gull-wing leads and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating. Pin 1 is GND, Pin 2 is RESET (active-low push-pull), Pin 3 is VCC.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pin 1) | Ground reference | Provides return path for internal reset comparator and output stage; must be connected to system ground plane for noise immunity |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX809ZUR+T | SOT23-3 package; rated for -40°C to +105°C; same 2.32V threshold and push-pull output | Lower max temperature rating; suitable for non-automotive industrial applications where 125°C is not required | Select when cost-sensitive SOT23 assembly is preferred and ambient temperature stays ≤105°C |
| TPS3808G12DBVR | Texas Instruments part; 1.2V threshold variant; 350ms min reset timeout; 1.4µA quiescent current; SOT23-6 package | Not a direct replacement: different threshold, longer timeout, higher pin count, and no AEC-Q100 qualification | Consider only if system requires sub-2V monitoring or ultra-low current, and layout can accommodate 6-pin footprint |
Compared with MAX809ZEXR+T, the MAX809ZUR+T offers identical electrical behavior in a lower-cost SOT23 package but sacrifices 20°C of temperature range; the TPS3808G12DBVR provides significantly lower supply current but lacks automotive qualification, has longer reset timeout, and requires PCB redesign due to 6-pin layout - neither is pin-compatible.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX809ZEXR+T and how does it vary with temperature?
The MAX809ZEXR+T has a nominal reset threshold of 2.32V at +25°C, with guaranteed limits of 2.22V (min) to 2.42V (max) over the full -40°C to +125°C operating range. Its reset comparator exhibits a tempco of 30ppm/°C, meaning threshold drift is tightly controlled - for example, at +125°C, the threshold shifts by approximately 2.5mV from its +25°C value. This precision ensures consistent brownout detection across automotive and industrial thermal profiles without calibration.
Does the MAX809ZEXR+T require an external pullup resistor on its RESET pin?
No, the MAX809ZEXR+T does not require an external pullup resistor because it features a push-pull active-low RESET output. Unlike open-drain variants such as the MAX803ZEXR+T, the MAX809ZEXR+T internally drives the RESET pin high (VOH ≥ 0.8×VCC) when deasserted and low (VOL ≤ 0.3V @ 1.2mA) when asserted. This eliminates external components and simplifies interface to standard CMOS reset inputs in microcontrollers and FPGAs.
Is the MAX809ZEXR+T qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the MAX809ZEXR+T is AEC-Q100 qualified and specified for operation from -40°C to +125°C, making it suitable for automotive under-hood applications including engine control units, transmission control modules, and body electronics. Its SC70 package (X3+2) is RoHS-compliant and rated for reflow soldering up to +260°C, meeting automotive manufacturing requirements.
What is the minimum VCC voltage at which the MAX809ZEXR+T guarantees correct RESET logic state?
The MAX809ZEXR+T guarantees correct RESET logic state - i.e., valid low or high output - for VCC down to +1V. Below 1V, the output stage may become indeterminate. This feature ensures deterministic reset behavior during deep brownout conditions common in automotive stop-start systems or battery-depleted portable devices, preventing metastability in connected microprocessors.
How does the MAX809ZEXR+T handle fast transients on the VCC supply line?
The MAX809ZEXR+T incorporates transient immunity circuitry that ignores fast negative-going VCC glitches: a 100mV overdrive (VTH − VCC) transient lasting ≤20µs will not trigger a false reset pulse. This behavior is confirmed in the datasheet's Typical Operating Characteristics plots and enables reliable operation in electrically noisy environments like motor drives or switch-mode power supply outputs without requiring additional filtering beyond a 0.1µF bypass capacitor near the VCC pin.
