Product details
Overview
MAX811SEUS-T from Maxim Integrated is an active-low microprocessor supervisory circuit in a 4-pin SOT143 package, designed to monitor 3.0V supply rails with a nominal reset threshold of 2.93V, 140ms minimum reset pulse width, and 6µA supply current. It asserts RESET during power-up, brownout, or manual reset events in portable and embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX811SEUS-T datasheet, MAX811SEUS-T pinout, MAX811SEUS-T application, or MAX811SEUS-T equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal behavior across -40°C to +85°C, MR debounce capability, VCC transient immunity up to 40µs at 125mV overdrive, and design guidance for bidirectional µP reset I/O interfacing.
Technical Context
The MAX811SEUS-T implements a precision voltage comparator with factory-trimmed 2.93V threshold (±1.5% over temperature), internal 140ms timeout timer, and debounced manual reset input (MR) with 20kΩ internal pull-up. Its active-low RESET output remains valid down to VCC = 1V and exhibits guaranteed logic state during power ramp-up and brownout recovery.
It operates across 1.2V to 5.5V supply range but is specified for 3.3V nominal operation (T/S variants); reset assertion occurs when VCC falls below 2.93V, and release is delayed by ≥140ms after VCC exceeds threshold. Transient immunity is characterized for negative-going VCC glitches ≤40µs at 125mV overdrive (T/S versions).
Key Specifications

Applications
| Portable/Battery-Powered Equipment | Critical µP and µC Power Monitoring |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Handheld medical meters powered by single-cell Li-ion batteries experiencing gradual discharge and intermittent load spikes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervisory circuit monitoring VCC to assert RESET before µP enters undefined state during <3.0V brownout. Use Value: 6µA quiescent current extends battery life; 2.93V threshold aligns with 3.0V system margin; 140ms pulse ensures full µP reset sequence completion. | Use Scenario: Industrial PLC controller requiring guaranteed restart after AC line sag or backup battery switchover. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary power-fail detector generating clean, timed reset signal synchronized to VCC recovery. Use Value: Factory-trimmed 2.93V threshold and 30ppm/°C tempco ensure consistent trip point across temperature; MR input allows operator-initiated diagnostics reset. |
| Intelligent Instruments | Controllers |
Use Scenario: Portable multimeter with EEPROM data logging that must preserve calibration integrity during power interruption. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Voltage monitor asserting RESET to halt µC before supply drops below EEPROM write-voltage threshold. Use Value: RESET validity down to VCC = 1V prevents partial writes; internal MR pull-up simplifies front-panel reset button integration. | Use Scenario: HVAC zone controller using 3.3V rail derived from isolated DC-DC converter subject to startup delay and ripple. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: System-level supervisor ensuring µC remains held in reset until regulated 3.3V rail stabilizes and remains within spec. Use Value: Immunity to 40µs VCC transients avoids spurious resets during converter soft-start; SOT143 footprint saves PCB area in space-constrained enclosures. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX812SEUS-T | Active-high RESET output; identical threshold (2.93V), timing, and package | Requires inverted reset logic or level-shifting for µPs expecting active-low reset | Select MAX812SEUS-T only if host µP or ASIC specifies active-high reset input |
| TPS3123E18DBVR | 2.63V fixed threshold, 200ms reset timeout, 1.2µA supply current, SOT-23-5 package | Lacks manual reset input; smaller footprint but no MR functionality | Choose TPS3123E18DBVR when ultra-low current dominates and manual reset is unnecessary |
Compared with MAX812SEUS-T, the MAX811SEUS-T provides native active-low reset signaling without inversion overhead; versus TPS3123E18DBVR, it trades lower quiescent current for essential MR capability and tighter threshold accuracy at 3.0V systems.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX811SEUS-T?
The MAX811SEUS-T has a nominal reset threshold voltage of 2.93V, with guaranteed accuracy of ±1.5% over the full operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. This value is factory-trimmed and specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under the 'S' suffix designation. The threshold remains stable with a tempco of 30ppm/°C, making the MAX811SEUS-T suitable for precise 3.0V system monitoring where marginal supply dips must trigger reset before downstream ICs malfunction.
Does the MAX811SEUS-T require external components to function?
No, the MAX811SEUS-T requires no external components for basic operation. It integrates a precision voltage reference, reset timeout timer, and 20kΩ internal pull-up resistor on the MR pin. Only a 0.1µF ceramic decoupling capacitor on VCC is recommended for transient immunity. This eliminates discrete R/C networks, reduces PCB area, and improves reliability-key advantages confirmed in the device's "No External Components" feature and typical operating circuit diagrams.
How does the manual reset (MR) input behave on the MAX811SEUS-T?
The MR input on the MAX811SEUS-T is active-low with an internal 20kΩ pull-up to VCC. When pulled low (≤0.25×VCC), it immediately asserts RESET and holds it active for at least 180ms after MR returns high. It accepts TTL/CMOS logic levels and can be driven by a momentary switch to GND-no external debounce circuitry is needed. This behavior is documented in the Pin Description and Detailed Description sections, confirming deterministic reset initiation independent of VCC level.
Can the MAX811SEUS-T operate reliably during fast VCC transients?
Yes, the MAX811SEUS-T is designed to reject fast negative-going VCC transients. For the 'S' variant (2.93V threshold), it tolerates glitches up to 40µs wide when the overdrive (VTH – VCC) is 125mV. This immunity is verified in Typical Operating Characteristics Figure 1 and explicitly stated in Applications Information. Adding a 0.1µF capacitor from VCC to GND further enhances noise rejection-making the MAX811SEUS-T robust in electrically noisy environments like motor-driven or switching-power systems.
What is the minimum VCC voltage at which the MAX811SEUS-T guarantees correct RESET output state?
The MAX811SEUS-T guarantees correct RESET output state (logic low) for VCC down to 1V. Below 1V, the RESET output becomes high-impedance and no longer actively sinks current. This specification is explicitly stated in the General Description and Detailed Description sections, and distinguishes the MAX811SEUS-T from alternatives lacking such low-VCC validity-enabling safe, predictable reset behavior during deep brownout conditions common in battery-powered applications.
