Product details
Overview
MAX812SEUS-T from onsemi is an active-high microprocessor reset monitor IC designed to supervise 2.93 V nominal VCC rails in embedded systems. It delivers a guaranteed minimum 140 ms reset pulse width, triggers within 20 µs of VCC falling below threshold, and operates with only 7 µA supply current at 3.3 V - enabling reliable brownout detection in battery-powered equipment.
For engineers reviewing the MAX812SEUS-T datasheet, MAX812SEUS-T pinout, MAX812SEUS-T application, or MAX812SEUS-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its SOT-143-4 package, 2.93 V reset threshold with ±1.5% accuracy over temperature, manual reset input compatibility, and guaranteed VCC transient immunity up to 200 mV overdrive.
Technical Context
The MAX812SEUS-T integrates a precision voltage comparator with hysteresis and a fixed 140 ms reset timeout timer. Its internal reference is trimmed to 2.93 V (±1.5% over –40°C to +85°C) and exhibits 30 ppm/°C tempco for stable threshold behavior across industrial temperature ranges.
It features a dedicated manual reset (MR) input with 0.15×VCC logic thresholds, 10 µs minimum pulse width requirement, and 0.1 µs glitch immunity - supporting robust push-button interface without external debouncing circuitry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.93 V ±1.5% (guaranteed over –40°C to +85°C; enables precise supervision of 3.0 V or 3.3 V rails) |
| Reset Timeout Duration | 140–560 ms (minimum guaranteed 140 ms ensures sufficient processor initialization time) |
| VCC to RESET Delay | 20 µs max (ensures rapid response to power sags before system instability occurs) |
| Supply Current | 7 µA at VCC = 3.3 V (supports multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered IoT sensors) |
| Operating Temp Range | –40°C to +85°C (meets industrial-grade environmental requirements) |
| Reset Output Polarity | Active-high (drives high during fault; compatible with processors requiring active-high reset assertion) |
| VCC Transient Immunity | Rejects glitches ≤200 mV overdrive × 1 µs duration (prevents false resets from switching noise) |
Pinout & Package
MAX812SEUS-T is housed in a 4-pin SOT-143 (Case 318A) surface-mount package measuring 3.04 mm × 1.39 mm × 1.14 mm, optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts in portable and industrial control applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Ground reference for internal comparator and output driver; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| 2 | RESET | Active-high open-drain output; requires external pull-up to VCC for logic-high state; sinks up to 1.2 mA |
| 3 | MR | Manual reset input; asserted low (≤0.15×VCC); 10 µs minimum pulse width; internally pulled up to VCC via 10–40 kΩ resistor |
| 4 | VCC | Primary supply input; monitors this rail for reset generation; accepts 1.2 V to 5.5 V operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision 2.93 V reset threshold | ±1.5% tolerance over full temperature range ensures accurate supervision of 3.0 V/3.3 V systems without calibration |
| Guaranteed 140 ms minimum reset pulse | Meets Intel and ARM processor reset timing requirements for safe core initialization and peripheral stabilization |
| No external components required | Integrates reference, comparator, timer, and pull-up on MR - reduces BOM count and layout area by ≥3 passive parts |
| 7 µA quiescent current | Enables >10-year battery life in always-on monitoring applications powered by CR2032 cells |
| VCC transient rejection | Immune to sub-microsecond supply glitches up to 200 mV amplitude - eliminates need for bulk decoupling near VCC pin |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Modules | Medical Portable Monitors |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Power sequencing and brownout recovery in DIN-rail mounted programmable logic controllers with isolated analog I/O. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: System supervisor that asserts active-high RESET to halt CPU execution until 3.3 V rail stabilizes post-power-up or during line sag. Use Value: Prevents firmware corruption and analog front-end latch-up by guaranteeing ≥140 ms reset hold time after VCC exceeds 2.93 V. | Use Scenario: Battery-backed vital signs monitors requiring continuous operation and fail-safe restart on power interruption. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: VCC supervisor monitoring the main 3.0 V supply; generates clean reset pulse to ARM Cortex-M4 MCU upon battery voltage dip. Use Value: 7 µA supply current extends single-CR2032 runtime beyond 5 years in sleep mode; 20 µs response prevents data loss during transient dips. |
| Smart Energy Meters | Automotive Body Control Modules |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervises 3.3 V rail derived from vehicle battery; provides active-high reset to Infineon AURIX TC3xx during cold-crank events. Use Value: Valid operation down to VCC = 1.2 V ensures reset assertion even during deep battery sag to 9 V; MR pin supports service-mode forced reset. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset monitoring applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX811SEUS-T | Active-low RESET output; identical 2.93 V threshold, timing, and package | Requires inverted reset logic path; incompatible with processors mandating active-high assertion | Select when host MCU reset pin is active-low and board layout cannot accommodate level-shifting |
| TPS3808G18DBVR | 2.5 V threshold (not 2.93 V); adjustable delay option; 1.5 µA typical ICC; SOT-23-5 package | Lacks manual reset input; requires external capacitor for timeout tuning; higher pin count | Choose for ultra-low-power designs where 2.5 V supervision suffices and manual reset is unnecessary |
Compared with MAX811SEUS-T and TPS3808G18DBVR, the MAX812SEUS-T uniquely combines fixed 2.93 V supervision, active-high output, integrated MR input, and SOT-143-4 footprint - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained 3.0 V/3.3 V systems needing guaranteed reset polarity and no external timing components.

FAQ
What is the reset threshold voltage of the MAX812SEUS-T?
The MAX812SEUS-T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 2.93 V with ±1.5% tolerance over the full operating temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). This value is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table of the official onsemi datasheet (Rev. 4, May 2002), and applies to all units marked "S" in the ordering code - confirming precise supervision of 3.0 V and 3.3 V power rails without external calibration.
Does the MAX812SEUS-T require external components to function?
No, the MAX812SEUS-T requires no external components to perform basic reset supervision. It integrates a precision voltage reference, comparator, 140 ms timeout timer, and internal pull-up resistor on the MR pin. The only external requirement is a pull-up resistor on the RESET pin to establish the high logic state - a standard practice for open-drain outputs. This eliminates capacitors, resistors, or diodes typically needed in discrete reset circuits.
What is the supply current consumption of the MAX812SEUS-T at 3.3 V?
The MAX812SEUS-T draws 7 µA typical supply current at VCC = 3.3 V and TA = +25°C, with a maximum of 15 µA over temperature (–40°C to +85°C). This ultra-low ICC enables multi-year operation in battery-powered applications such as portable diagnostics equipment and wireless sensor nodes, as confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics section of the onsemi MAX811/MAX812 datasheet.
Can the MAX812SEUS-T be used with a 1.8 V supply rail?
No - the MAX812SEUS-T is not rated for reliable operation at 1.8 V. Its minimum functional VCC is 1.2 V, but its 2.93 V reset threshold requires the monitored rail to reach at least ~3.0 V for proper supervision. For 1.8 V systems, onsemi offers the MAX812FEUS-T (1.75 V threshold) or MAX812TEUS-T (3.08 V), both in the same SOT-143 package. Using MAX812SEUS-T on 1.8 V would result in permanent reset assertion.
How does the manual reset (MR) input behave on the MAX812SEUS-T?
The MR input on the MAX812SEUS-T is active-low with logic thresholds of VIH = 0.7×VCC and VIL = 0.15×VCC. It features an internal 10–40 kΩ pull-up resistor, allowing direct connection to a momentary switch tied to GND. A minimum 10 µs low pulse is required to trigger reset, and the input rejects glitches shorter than 0.1 µs - eliminating need for RC filtering in most push-button implementations.
