Product details
Overview
MAX811SEUS from Maxim Integrated is an active-low microprocessor supervisory circuit in a 4-pin SOT143 package, designed to monitor 2.93V power supplies and assert reset during brownout or power-up events. It delivers 6µA supply current, guarantees RESET validity down to VCC = 1V, and provides 140ms minimum reset timeout-enabling reliable startup in portable battery-powered systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX811SEUS datasheet, MAX811SEUS pinout, MAX811SEUS application, or MAX811SEUS equivalent, key selection criteria include reset threshold accuracy (±1.5% over temperature), MR input glitch immunity (100ns), guaranteed low-power operation across -40°C to +85°C, and compatibility with 3V/3.3V µP reset interfaces requiring debounced manual reset capability.
Technical Context
The MAX811SEUS implements a precision voltage comparator with factory-trimmed 2.93V threshold and 30ppm/°C tempco, ensuring robust brownout detection across industrial temperature ranges. Its internal timer generates a fixed 140ms reset pulse after VCC rises above threshold, independent of supply ramp rate.
It features an integrated 20kΩ MR pull-up resistor and supports TTL/CMOS-compatible manual reset assertion via logic-low MR signal. The active-low RESET output sinks 1.2mA at VCC = VTH(MIN) and remains valid down to VCC = 1V-critical for deterministic µP initialization in low-voltage shutdown sequences.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.93V nominal ±1.5% over -40°C to +85°C-ensures reset asserts before system ICs drop below minimum operating voltage |
| Supply Current | 6µA typical at +25°C-enables multi-year battery life in portable instrumentation |
| Reset Timeout | 140ms minimum after VCC rise-guarantees sufficient µP initialization time regardless of clock speed |
| MR Glitch Immunity | 100ns maximum-rejects EMI-induced noise on manual reset line without external filtering |
| VCC Range | 1.2V to 5.5V-supports operation during deep brownout and full 5V system power |
| RESET Validity | Guaranteed low state down to VCC = 1V-prevents floating reset inputs in ultra-low-power sleep modes |
| Tempco | 30ppm/°C-limits threshold drift to <15mV over full temperature range, avoiding false resets |
Pinout & Package
MAX811SEUS is housed in a 4-pin SOT143 package (4.0 × 2.0 × 1.75 mm), surface-mountable with gull-wing leads. Pin 1 is VCC, Pin 2 is GND, Pin 3 is RESET (active-low open-drain), and Pin 4 is MR (active-low manual reset input).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Power supply input | Accepts 1.2V–5.5V; powers internal comparator and timer; threshold sensing reference |
| GND | Ground reference | Return path for all internal currents; must be low-impedance to ensure accurate threshold detection |
| RESET | Active-low reset output | Open-drain output sinking up to 1.2mA; requires external pull-up; asserted low during fault or MR activation |
| MR | Active-low manual reset input | Internally pulled up to VCC via 20kΩ; logic-low assertion forces RESET low for ≥140ms after release |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision 2.93V threshold | Factory-trimmed to ±1.5% tolerance over temperature-eliminates need for external calibration in 3V systems |
| 140ms power-on reset timeout | Internally timed, temperature-stable delay-ensures µP completes internal reset sequence before code execution |
| MR with 20kΩ internal pull-up | Enables direct switch-to-ground connection without external components-reduces BOM count and PCB area |
| RESET valid to VCC = 1V | Guaranteed low-state output down to 1V supply-prevents undefined logic states during battery depletion |
| 6µA quiescent current | Ultra-low ICC enables use in always-on monitoring circuits without compromising battery runtime |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3808G12DBVR | 2.93V threshold, but 350ms reset timeout and 1.5µA ICC; no internal MR pull-up | Requires external 100kΩ MR pull-up; longer timeout may delay µP startup in time-critical systems | Select when ultra-low ICC dominates design priority and extended reset duration is acceptable |
| ADM6710L29ARTZ-R7 | 2.93V threshold, 200ms timeout, 8µA ICC; MR input lacks internal pull-up | Needs external pull-up and RC debounce; higher ICC reduces battery life vs. MAX811SEUS | Choose for ADI ecosystem integration where timing margin allows 200ms reset and layout permits extra passives |
Compared with TPS3808G12DBVR and ADM6710L29ARTZ-R7, the MAX811SEUS offers the shortest guaranteed reset timeout (140ms) and lowest component count due to its integrated MR pull-up-making it optimal for space-constrained, battery-sensitive designs where deterministic fast startup is required.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for MAX811SEUS?
The MAX811SEUS has a nominal reset threshold of 2.93V, with ±1.5% accuracy over the full -40°C to +85°C temperature range. This value is factory-trimmed and specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under VTH parameter for the 'S' suffix variant. The threshold remains stable with a tempco of 30ppm/°C, ensuring minimal drift across operating conditions.
Does MAX811SEUS require external components for basic operation?
No, the MAX811SEUS operates autonomously with no external components required for core supervision. It integrates a 20kΩ internal pull-up resistor on the MR pin and uses an open-drain RESET output that only needs an external pull-up if driving CMOS loads. The device monitors VCC directly and asserts reset based on internal precision threshold comparison-eliminating trimming resistors, capacitors, or voltage dividers.
How does MAX811SEUS handle power-down events below 1V?
When VCC falls below 1V, the MAX811SEUS RESET output transitions to a high-impedance state rather than actively driving low. This behavior is explicitly guaranteed in the datasheet. To maintain a defined logic level in such cases, a 100kΩ pull-down resistor on the RESET line is recommended-ensuring the µP receives a clean low signal even during deep brownout or battery exhaustion, preventing undefined startup states.
What is the minimum pulse width required on the MR pin to trigger reset in MAX811SEUS?
The MAX811SEUS requires a minimum MR pulse width of 10µs to reliably initiate a reset event, as specified under tMR in the Electrical Characteristics table. Pulses shorter than this may be ignored due to internal glitch filtering. Once asserted, RESET remains active for the full 140ms timeout period-even if MR returns high earlier-ensuring complete µP initialization regardless of manual press duration.
Can MAX811SEUS be used with 5V microcontrollers?
Yes, the MAX811SEUS supports VCC from 1.2V to 5.5V and is fully compatible with 5V µPs. Its 2.93V reset threshold is intended for 3V systems, but the device itself operates correctly with 5V supply. When interfacing with 5V logic, ensure the RESET output pull-up is connected to the 5V rail and verify sink current capability (1.2mA at VCC = VTH(MIN)) meets the µP's input requirements-no level-shifting is needed.
