Product details
Overview
The MAX813LCPA from Maxim Integrated is a microprocessor supervisory circuit providing active-high reset output, watchdog timer, power-fail warning, and manual-reset input in an 8-pin PDIP package. It asserts RESET when VCC drops below 4.65V, delivers a guaranteed 200ms reset pulse width, monitors PFI at 1.25V threshold, and features 1.6s watchdog timeout - enabling reliable power-up sequencing and brownout recovery in embedded control systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX813LCPA datasheet, MAX813LCPA pinout, MAX813LCPA application, or MAX813LCPA equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, confirmed reset timing, validated voltage thresholds, and real-world use context for industrial controller and critical μP monitoring designs.
Technical Context
The MAX813LCPA integrates four core supervisory functions: a precision 4.65V supply monitor with 40mV hysteresis, a 1.6s watchdog timer that clears on WDI edge transitions or MR assertion, a 1.25V power-fail comparator (PFI/PFO), and a debounced TTL/CMOS-compatible manual-reset input with 250μA internal pull-up.
Its active-high RESET output remains valid down to VCC = 1.1V, and the device guarantees logic-low RESET output voltage ≤0.4V at ISINK = 3.2mA. All functions operate across 0°C to +70°C with supply current ≤350µA typical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.65V ±150mV - triggers reset during brownout or power-down of +5V rail |
| Reset Pulse Width | 200ms nominal - ensures μP completes full initialization before release |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6s ±650ms - provides sufficient time for firmware watchdog service without false timeout |
| PFI Threshold | 1.25V ±50mV - enables accurate low-battery or secondary supply monitoring via external divider |
| Supply Current | 350µA max at +70°C - supports low-power operation in battery-backed systems |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.1V to 5.5V - guarantees RESET validity even during deep brownout recovery |
| RESET Output Type | Active-high push-pull - directly interfaces with Intel 80C51 and other μPs requiring high-asserted reset |
Pinout & Package
MAX813LCPA is housed in an 8-pin plastic DIP (PDIP) package with 0.3-inch body width and through-hole mounting. Pin spacing is 0.1 inch (2.54mm), compatible with standard PCB layouts and socketing.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 MR | Manual-Reset Input | Active-low TTL/CMOS-compatible trigger; internal 250μA pull-up enables switch or logic-line drive |
| 2 VCC | Positive Supply Input | +5V main power rail connection; operates down to 1.1V while maintaining RESET validity |
| 3 GND | Ground Reference | Common return path for all analog and digital functions; required for accurate threshold sensing |
| 4 PFI | Power-Fail Input | Monitors external voltage via 1.25V comparator; connects to divider for +12V or negative rail monitoring |
| 5 PFO | Power-Fail Output | Open-drain active-low output; sinks current when PFI < 1.25V to signal impending supply loss |
| 6 WDO | Watchdog Output | Active-low open-drain output; goes low after 1.6s WDI inactivity or during VCC brownout |
| 7 RESET | Active-High Reset Output | Push-pull output; high during normal operation, low only during reset assertion or VCC undervoltage |
| 8 WDI | Watchdog Input | Edge-sensitive input; toggling within 1.6s prevents WDO timeout; floating disables watchdog |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guaranteed RESET Validity at Low VCC | RESET output remains functional down to VCC = 1.1V, enabling robust brownout detection and recovery |
| Debounced Manual-Reset Input | MR input includes 140ms minimum pulse width filtering, eliminating mechanical switch bounce without external RC |
| Independent Power-Fail Comparator | PFI/PFO pair provides configurable early-warning capability for backup battery, +12V rail, or negative supplies |
| Watchdog Timer with Edge-Clear Logic | WDI accepts rising/falling edges to reset timer - tolerant of short pulses (≥50ns) and avoids false timeouts |
| 40mV Reset Threshold Hysteresis | Prevents oscillation during slow VCC ramp-up/down by ensuring clean reset assertion/deassertion transitions |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Controller | Medical Diagnostic Instrument |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX705CPA | Active-low RESET output; identical 4.65V threshold, 200ms pulse, and 1.6s watchdog | Requires level-shifting or μP with active-low reset input; not drop-in for Intel 80C51-style systems | Select MAX705CPA only if target μP accepts active-low reset and board layout accommodates polarity inversion |
| MAX809LPA | Single-function reset IC (no watchdog, no PFI/PFO); 4.65V threshold; 140ms reset pulse; SOT23-3 package | Lacks watchdog and power-fail monitoring; suitable only for basic reset-only applications with space constraints | Choose MAX809LPA only when supervisory complexity is unnecessary and PCB area is severely limited |
Compared with MAX705CPA and MAX809LPA, the MAX813LCPA uniquely combines active-high reset, watchdog timer, and power-fail comparator in a single 8-pin DIP - delivering full supervisory functionality without external components or layout changes.

FAQ
What is the reset threshold voltage for MAX813LCPA?
The MAX813LCPA has a nominal reset threshold of 4.65V with ±150mV tolerance. This means RESET is asserted when VCC falls below approximately 4.50V and released after VCC rises above ~4.75V, incorporating 40mV hysteresis to prevent chatter during slow supply ramps. The threshold is factory-trimmed and specified over the full 0°C to +70°C operating range.
Does MAX813LCPA provide both active-high and active-low reset outputs?
No, the MAX813LCPA provides only an active-high RESET output (pin 7). Unlike the MAX707/MAX708, it does not include a complementary active-low RESET pin. Its designation "L" indicates the presence of active-high RESET and watchdog functionality - distinct from "M" variants that add backup-battery switching or "R/S/T" variants with adjustable thresholds.
Can MAX813LCPA monitor voltages other than +5V?
Yes, the MAX813LCPA can monitor non-5V supplies using its PFI input. By connecting a resistor divider from the target voltage (e.g., +12V or -5V) to PFI, the 1.25V internal comparator detects when the divided voltage crosses threshold. Application circuits in the datasheet show configurations for positive, negative, and dual-rail monitoring with hysteresis and noise filtering.
What is the watchdog timeout period for MAX813LCPA?
The MAX813LCPA watchdog timeout period is 1.6 seconds nominal, with a guaranteed range of 1.00s to 2.25s over temperature and supply voltage. The timer resets on any rising or falling edge at WDI (pin 8), tolerating pulses as narrow as 50ns. Floating WDI disables the watchdog, causing WDO to follow VCC brownout status only.
Is MAX813LCPA compatible with lead-free soldering processes?
Yes, the MAX813LCPA in PDIP package is available in lead(Pb)-free/RoHS-compliant form. When ordering, append "+" to the part number (e.g., MAX813LCPA+) to specify lead-free packaging. The device supports reflow soldering up to +260°C for 10 seconds, meeting JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 requirements.
