Product details
Overview
MAX813LCSA+T from Maxim Integrated is a microprocessor supervisory circuit providing active-high reset output, watchdog timer, power-fail comparator, and manual-reset input in an 8-pin SO package. It asserts RESET when VCC drops below 4.65V, delivers 200ms reset pulse width, monitors external supplies via 1.25V PFI threshold, and features guaranteed RESET validity down to VCC = 1.1V. It is used in embedded controllers requiring reliable power-up sequencing and brownout protection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX813LCSA+T datasheet, MAX813LCSA+T pinout, MAX813LCSA+T application, or MAX813LCSA+T equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, confirmed SO-8 pin mapping, exact reset threshold (4.65V), watchdog timeout (1.6s), and two validated alternative parts with documented technical and application differences.
Technical Context
The MAX813L integrates four core supervisory functions on a single die: a precision voltage monitor with 4.65V reset threshold and 40mV hysteresis, a 1.6s watchdog timer with edge-sensitive WDI input, a 1.25V reference-based power-fail comparator (PFI/PFO), and a debounced TTL/CMOS-compatible manual-reset input (MR) with 250μA internal pull-up.
Its active-high RESET output is valid down to VCC = 1.1V, enabling robust reset assertion during deep brownout. The device operates across 1.1V–5.5V supply range and draws only 150–350μA typical quiescent current, making it suitable for low-power industrial and embedded systems where supply stability is critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.65V ±1.5% - triggers reset when +5V rail falls below nominal operating level, ensuring μP remains held until stable supply is restored. |
| Reset Pulse Width | 200ms minimum - guarantees sufficient duration to fully initialize microprocessors such as Intel 80C51 requiring active-high reset. |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6s ±40% - provides deterministic time window for firmware to service watchdog, preventing runaway code execution. |
| PFI Threshold | 1.25V ±4% - enables accurate power-fail warning or low-battery detection when used with external resistor divider. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.1V to 5.5V - supports operation during severe brownout and ensures RESET remains valid even as VCC collapses. |
| Quiescent Current | 150–350μA at VCC = 4.75–5.5V - minimizes standby power draw in battery-backed or energy-constrained systems. |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to +70°C - rated for commercial-grade industrial control and computing applications without extended thermal stress. |
Pinout & Package
MAX813LCSA+T is housed in an 8-pin Small Outline (SO) package, RoHS-compliant and lead-free, with standard 1.27mm pitch and JEDEC MS-012AC outline. Pin 1 is marked with a beveled corner or dot.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 MR | Manual-Reset Input | Active-low TTL/CMOS-compatible input; internally pulled up with 250μA; debounces pushbutton switches with ≥140ms minimum pulse width. |
| 2 VCC | Positive Supply Input | +5V main supply connection; device operates from 1.1V to 5.5V; RESET remains valid down to 1.1V. |
| 3 GND | Ground Reference | 0V return path for all analog and digital circuitry; must be low-impedance for accurate voltage monitoring. |
| 4 PFI | Power-Fail Input | Noninverting input of comparator referenced to 1.25V; used to monitor auxiliary supplies or battery voltage via external divider. |
| 5 PFO | Power-Fail Output | Open-drain active-low output; sinks current when PFI < 1.25V; can interrupt μP or trigger backup actions. |
| 6 WDO | Watchdog Output | Open-drain active-low output; goes low after 1.6s watchdog timeout or during VCC brownout; no minimum pulse width. |
| 7 RESET | Active-High Reset Output | Push-pull output; high when VCC > 4.65V and stable; low during power-up, brownout, or MR assertion; valid to 1.1V. |
| 8 WDI | Watchdog Input | Edge-triggered input; rising or falling edge clears watchdog timer; floating or high-Z disables watchdog function. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guaranteed RESET Validity at Low VCC | RESET output remains functional down to VCC = 1.1V, enabling reliable reset assertion during deep undervoltage conditions. |
| Integrated Power-Fail Comparator | 1.25V precision reference allows flexible monitoring of non-5V rails (e.g., +12V, battery, negative supplies) using external resistive dividers. |
| Debounced Manual-Reset Input | 250μA internal pull-up and 140ms minimum reset pulse eliminate need for external RC debounce circuitry. |
| Watchdog Timer with Edge Sensitivity | WDI detects pulses as short as 50ns; timer clears on any edge, supporting both periodic and event-driven firmware supervision. |
| Low Quiescent Current | 150–350μA typical supply current reduces system-level standby power, critical for battery-operated instrumentation. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX705CSA+ | Active-low RESET output; identical 4.65V threshold, 1.6s watchdog, and SO-8 package; lacks RESET output. | Requires μP with active-low reset input (e.g., many ARM Cortex-M variants); not suitable for Intel 80C51-family devices needing active-high reset. | Select MAX705CSA+ only if target microprocessor accepts active-low reset and no complementary RESET signal is needed. |
| MAX809LTR | Single-function reset IC; 4.63V threshold, 140ms reset pulse, SOT23-3 package; no watchdog, PFI/PFO, or MR. | Only provides basic power-on reset; cannot replace full supervisory functionality of MAX813LCSA+T in systems requiring brownout recovery or firmware supervision. | Choose MAX809LTR only for cost-sensitive, space-constrained designs where only power-up reset is required and watchdog/PFI are omitted. |
Compared with MAX705CSA+, MAX813LCSA+T adds active-high RESET output essential for legacy μPs, while MAX809LTR sacrifices all advanced supervision features for minimal footprint and cost-making MAX813LCSA+T the only option supporting full four-function supervision in SO-8.

FAQ
What is the reset threshold voltage for MAX813LCSA+T?
The MAX813LCSA+T has a nominal reset threshold of 4.65V with ±1.5% tolerance. This means RESET is asserted when VCC falls below approximately 4.58V and released after VCC rises above ~4.72V, with 40mV hysteresis to prevent chatter near the trip point. This value is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Reset Threshold (VRT)" for MAX813L devices.
Does MAX813LCSA+T provide both active-high and active-low reset outputs?
No, MAX813LCSA+T provides only an active-high RESET output (pin 7). Unlike the MAX707/MAX708, it does not include a complementary active-low RESET output. The MAX813L datasheet explicitly states "The MAX813L has a RESET output only," confirming that pin 7 is the sole reset signal and no second reset output is present on this variant.
What is the minimum supply voltage at which MAX813LCSA+T guarantees valid RESET output?
MAX813LCSA+T guarantees valid RESET output down to VCC = 1.1V. This is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "RESET Output Voltage" for MAX813LC, with test condition VCC = 1.1V and ISOURCE = 4μA. This feature ensures reliable reset assertion during deep brownout conditions before the supply collapses completely.
Can MAX813LCSA+T monitor a +12V supply for power-fail detection?
Yes, MAX813LCSA+T can monitor a +12V supply using its PFI input. By connecting a resistor divider between +12V and GND, the voltage at PFI is scaled to fall below the 1.25V threshold when the +12V rail degrades. Figure 6 in the datasheet shows exactly this configuration, achieving a +12V reset threshold of 10.67–11.50V depending on resistor tolerance.
What package type and RoHS status does MAX813LCSA+T use?
MAX813LCSA+T uses an 8-pin Small Outline (SO) package, outlined in JEDEC MS-012AC, with 1.27mm lead pitch. The "+" suffix in the part number indicates RoHS-compliant, lead-free construction per Maxim's ordering convention, confirmed in the "Ordering Information" and "Package Information" sections of the datasheet.
