Product details
Overview
MAX811SEUS/GG8 from Maxim Integrated is an active-low microprocessor supervisory IC that monitors 3.08V supply voltage, asserts reset for ≥140ms after power-up, and features a debounced manual reset input (MR) with internal 20kΩ pull-up. It operates from 1.2V to 5.5V, draws only 2.7–10µA, and guarantees valid RESET output down to VCC = 1V - used in battery-powered controllers and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX811SEUS/GG8 datasheet, MAX811SEUS/GG8 pinout, MAX811SEUS/GG8 application, or MAX811SEUS/GG8 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.08V reset threshold accuracy (±0.05V over –40°C to +85°C), SOT143-4 package footprint, MR-driven reset timing (10µs minimum pulse width), and guaranteed reset assertion during brownout conditions below VTH.
Technical Context
The MAX811SEUS/GG8 implements a precision bandgap-based voltage comparator with 30ppm/°C tempco to detect VCC falling below 3.08V nominal threshold, triggering an open-drain active-low RESET output. Its internal timer ensures minimum 140ms reset timeout after VCC recovery, independent of supply ramp rate.
Manual reset is initiated by pulling MR low; reset remains asserted for tRP (140–560ms) after MR returns high. The device ignores transients ≤100ns on MR and ≤20µs on VCC (for 125mV overdrive), providing immunity against noise-induced false resets in embedded systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 3.08V nominal (2.55–3.15V over –40°C to +85°C); ensures reliable reset before downstream logic fails at 3V ±10%. |
| Supply Current | 2.7–10µA at VCC = 3.6V; enables multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries in portable equipment. |
| Reset Timeout | 140–560ms min; satisfies μP power-on reset timing requirements per Intel/Motorola specifications. |
| MR Pulse Width | ≥10µs; supports fast mechanical switch bounce filtering without external RC network. |
| VCC Transient Immunity | Rejects ≤20µs negative glitches ≥125mV below VTH; prevents false resets in noisy industrial environments. |
| RESET Validity Range | Guaranteed low state down to VCC = 1V; maintains deterministic reset behavior during deep brownout. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C; qualified for industrial-grade embedded control and automotive body electronics. |
Pinout & Package
MAX811SEUS/GG8 is housed in a 4-pin SOT143 (U4+1) surface-mount package measuring 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm, with gull-wing leads and RoHS-compliant lead-free finish (GG8 suffix).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pin 1) | Ground reference | Return path for all internal circuitry; must be connected to system ground plane for stable threshold reference. |
| RESET (Pin 2) | Active-low open-drain reset output | Drives μP reset pin low during fault; requires external pull-up to VCC for logic-high state when inactive. |
| MR (Pin 3) | Manual reset input | Active-low; internally pulled up to VCC via 20kΩ resistor; accepts TTL/CMOS levels or momentary switch to GND. |
| VCC (Pin 4) | Supply voltage input | Accepts 1.2–5.5V; powers internal comparator and timer; also serves as voltage monitoring source. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Pre-trimmed 3.08V threshold | Eliminates factory calibration; achieves ±0.05V tolerance over full temperature range without external components. |
| Integrated MR debounce | Removes need for external RC filter or Schmitt trigger; supports direct connection to mechanical pushbutton. |
| Low-VCC reset validity | Ensures RESET remains asserted even as VCC collapses to 1V - critical for orderly shutdown in battery-depleted states. |
| Transient-immune comparator | Rejects fast VCC dips (≤20µs, ≥125mV) common in switching regulator noise or ESD events. |
| SOT143 footprint compatibility | Enables drop-in replacement with other 4-pin supervisory ICs (e.g., MAX809, TPS3808) using same PCB land pattern. |
Applications
| Portable Medical Sensors | Industrial PLC I/O Modules |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Wearable glucose monitor operating from CR2032 coin cell with variable discharge profile. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Voltage supervisor asserting reset if battery drops below 3.08V, preventing corrupted sensor readings or flash writes.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary reset generator synchronized to 3.3V rail; MR tied to tamper-detection switch. Use Value: Guaranteed RESET low to VCC = 1V ensures deterministic reset during capacitor discharge phase; SOT143 saves space on dense meter PCB. | Use Scenario: Door module powered from vehicle battery with load-dump and jump-start transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervisory guard for 3.3V domain controlling window motor drivers and LIN transceivers. Use Value: Internal 20kΩ MR pull-up eliminates discrete resistor; 140ms timeout exceeds ISO 16750-2 cold-cranking reset duration. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX809SEUR+T | Same 3.08V threshold, but no manual reset (MR) input; SOT23-3 package. | Lacks field-service reset capability; unsuitable where operator-initiated reboot is required. | Select MAX809SEUR+T only if board space is constrained and MR functionality is unnecessary. |
| TPS3808G30DBVR | 3.0V threshold (±0.5%), 1.8–6.0V operation, 160ms reset timeout, no internal MR pull-up. | Requires external pull-up on MR; tighter VTH tolerance (±0.5%) but higher ICC (12µA typical). | Choose TPS3808G30DBVR when higher accuracy is prioritized over ultra-low current or integrated MR biasing. |
Compared with MAX809SEUR+T and TPS3808G30DBVR, the MAX811SEUS/GG8 uniquely combines 3.08V precision, integrated MR pull-up, and sub-10µA supply current in a 4-pin SOT143 - making it optimal for space-constrained, battery-operated systems requiring both automatic and manual reset control.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for MAX811SEUS/GG8?
The MAX811SEUS/GG8 has a nominal reset threshold of 3.08V, with guaranteed limits of 3.00V (min) to 3.15V (max) over the full operating temperature range of –40°C to +85°C. This value is laser-trimmed at wafer test and specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "MAX81_T" variant.
Does MAX811SEUS/GG8 require an external pull-up resistor on the RESET pin?
Yes, the MAX811SEUS/GG8 features an open-drain active-low RESET output (Pin 2), which requires an external pull-up resistor to VCC to establish a defined logic-high state when reset is inactive. Typical values range from 10kΩ to 100kΩ depending on bus capacitance and rise-time requirements.
Can MAX811SEUS/GG8 operate with a 1.8V supply?
No - the MAX811SEUS/GG8 is not specified for 1.8V operation. Its minimum operating VCC is 1.2V, but its 3.08V reset threshold requires a supply ≥3.08V to function as intended. For 1.8V systems, consider the MAX809 series with 1.6V or 1.8V thresholds.
What is the purpose of the MR pin on MAX811SEUS/GG8, and how is it used?
The MR (Manual Reset) pin (Pin 3) on MAX811SEUS/GG8 is an active-low input with internal 20kΩ pull-up to VCC. Driving MR low initiates a reset pulse lasting ≥140ms after MR returns high. It supports direct connection to a momentary switch to GND, eliminating need for external debounce circuitry.
Is MAX811SEUS/GG8 pin-compatible with other MAX811 variants like MAX811TEUS/GG8?
Yes - all MAX811 variants (including MAX811SEUS/GG8 and MAX811TEUS/GG8) share identical SOT143-4 pinout, electrical interface, and timing behavior. Only the reset threshold differs (3.08V vs. 2.93V); no PCB layout change is needed when substituting within the same package and temperature grade.
