Product details
Overview
MAX814KESA+ from Maxim Integrated is a high-accuracy, low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit providing power-on reset, manual reset, and early power-fail warning functions for +5V systems. It features a 4.80V ±1% reset threshold, 200ms reset pulse width, active-low RESET output, and guaranteed valid reset assertion down to VCC = 1V. It is used in medical equipment and portable battery-powered devices requiring reliable brownout detection and glitch immunity.
For engineers reviewing the MAX814KESA+ datasheet, MAX814KESA+ pinout, MAX814KESA+ application, or MAX814KESA+ equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, exact pin roles, confirmed reset timing and threshold behavior, and validated alternative options for 4.8V µP supervision in commercial-temperature industrial and portable designs.
Technical Context
The MAX814KESA+ implements a precision voltage comparator with ±1% worst-case reset threshold accuracy referenced to an internal bandgap, coupled with a 200ms monostable delay timer that ensures stable release after VCC crosses the 4.80V trip point. Its low-line detector provides a separate 60mV-above-reset-threshold warning signal (LOW LINE) with 2mV hysteresis, independent of the main reset path.
It integrates a 150µA internal MR pull-up current, power-fail comparator with 2.50V reference (PFI/PFO), and robust immunity to fast VCC transients - ignoring negative glitches ≤30µs at 100mV overdrive. All logic outputs are CMOS-compatible with rail-to-rail drive capability and guaranteed VOL ≤ 0.4V at ISINK = 3.2mA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.80V ±1% - precisely triggers reset when +5V supply falls below 4.752V (min), ensuring compatibility with 5.0V ±4% systems. |
| Reset Pulse Width | 200ms (typ) - guarantees µP initialization time exceeds typical boot sequence requirements for 8/16-bit controllers. |
| Supply Current | 75µA max - enables use in always-on battery-backed subsystems without compromising runtime. |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - RESET remains valid and asserted as low down to 1V, supporting graceful shutdown during deep brownout. |
| Power-Fail Reference | 2.50V - PFI comparator detects undervoltage on auxiliary rails (e.g., +12V via divider), enabling early warning before VCC collapse. |
| Low-Line Offset | 60mV above reset threshold - provides 140ms advance warning before reset assertion, sufficient for NMI-driven save routines. |
| MR Input Threshold | 1.10V (low), 0.7×VCC (high) - compatible with TTL/CMOS logic and open-drain drivers without external level-shifting. |
Pinout & Package
MAX814KESA+ is housed in an 8-pin SOIC package (SO-8, 150mil width) with gull-wing leads, RoHS-compliant and lead-free (+ suffix). Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner or dot; device orientation follows standard JEDEC MS-012AC.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 MR | Manual Reset Input | Active-low CMOS input with 150µA internal pull-up; asserts RESET when pulled below 1.10V; debounced internally - no external RC needed. |
| 2 VCC | Positive Supply Input | Primary power rail input (1.0–5.5V); reset comparator monitors this node directly; powers all internal circuitry including PFO output stage. |
| 3 GND | Ground Reference | Analog and digital ground return; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling into reset comparator inputs. |
| 4 PFI | Power-Fail Input | High-impedance analog input referenced to 2.50V; accepts voltage dividers from auxiliary supplies (e.g., +12V → ~2.5V) for early fail detection. |
| 5 PFO | Power-Fail Output | Open-drain CMOS output sinking ≥1.2mA at VOL ≤ 0.4V; signals PFI undervoltage event to µP interrupt line or status register. |
| 6 LOW LINE | Low-Line Warning Output | Active-low CMOS output asserting when VCC drops to 4.86V (4.80V + 60mV); provides non-reset NMI trigger for pre-brownout housekeeping. |
| 7 RESET | Active-Low Reset Output | Push-pull CMOS output driving µP /RESET pin; guaranteed low (≤0.4V) during reset; holds low ≥200ms after VCC recovery. |
| 8 RESET | Active-High Reset Output | Inverted copy of pin 7; drives /RESET-inverted inputs or logic enabling circuits requiring high-true reset assertion. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ±1% Worst-Case Reset Accuracy | Eliminates manual trimming and ensures deterministic reset across temperature (-40°C to +85°C), line, and load variations in safety-critical systems. |
| Guaranteed RESET Valid to VCC = 1V | Enables controlled shutdown sequencing in battery-powered devices where VCC decays slowly below 2V, preventing undefined µP states. |
| Power-Supply Glitch Immunity | Rejects VCC transients ≤30µs at 100mV overdrive - prevents spurious resets during switching noise or ESD events on shared power rails. |
| Independent Low-Line Detector | Provides 60mV headroom warning before reset, allowing µP to execute critical save routines without relying on watchdog or software polling. |
| Integrated 150µA MR Pull-Up | Permits direct switch-to-GND manual reset implementation with no external components - reduces BOM count and PCB area in space-constrained designs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar µP supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX814LESA+ | 4.70V ±1% reset threshold (vs. 4.80V); 10mV lower trip point; identical pinout, timing, and feature set. | Suitable for 5.0V ±5% systems where wider supply tolerance is acceptable; less margin against 4.75V minimum IC operating voltage. | Select when system design targets full 5V ±5% operation and requires tighter alignment with legacy 4.7V reset standards. |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V fixed reset threshold; 350ms default delay (adjustable); 2.5µA quiescent current; no LOW LINE or PFI/PFO functions. | Lacks early warning and auxiliary rail monitoring; optimized for ultra-low-power +3.3V-only applications, not dual-rail +5V/+3.3V systems. | Choose only for new +3.3V designs prioritizing nanoamp supply current over multi-function supervision and 4.8V accuracy. |
Compared with MAX814KESA+, MAX814LESA+ offers identical functionality at a lower reset voltage for broader supply tolerance, while TPS3808G33DBVR trades supervision versatility for extreme low-power operation - making MAX814KESA+ the optimal choice for precision 4.8V reset with early warning and auxiliary monitoring in mixed-voltage embedded systems.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX814KESA+?
The MAX814KESA+ has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 4.80V ±1%, meaning the actual trip point falls between 4.752V and 4.848V across temperature and supply variations. This value is fixed and unadjustable - unlike the MAX816 - and is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table for +5V parts under the "VRT" parameter with K-suffix designation.
Does the MAX814KESA+ provide both active-high and active-low reset outputs?
Yes, the MAX814KESA+ provides two dedicated reset outputs: pin 7 is active-low RESET, and pin 8 is active-high RESET - the logical inverse of pin 7. Both outputs are push-pull CMOS with rail-to-rail drive strength, enabling direct interface to µPs requiring either polarity without external inverters.
Can the MAX814KESA+ monitor voltages other than VCC, such as a +12V rail?
Yes, the MAX814KESA+ can monitor auxiliary voltages using its PFI input. By connecting a resistor divider from the +12V rail to PFI (e.g., 340kΩ + 100kΩ), the voltage at PFI scales to ~2.50V - matching the internal PFI reference. When the +12V rail sags, PFO asserts low, triggering an interrupt or reset via PFO-to-MR connection.
What is the purpose of the LOW LINE pin on the MAX814KESA+?
The LOW LINE pin (pin 6) is an independent comparator output that goes low when VCC falls to 60mV above the 4.80V reset threshold - i.e., at ~4.86V. It provides early warning before reset assertion, allowing the µP to execute time-critical tasks like saving volatile data or disabling peripherals before full reset occurs.
Is the MAX814KESA+ suitable for battery-powered applications with strict current budgets?
Yes, the MAX814KESA+ draws only 75µA maximum supply current across temperature and voltage, making it well-suited for battery-backed or portable systems. Its guaranteed RESET validity down to VCC = 1V further supports graceful shutdown during gradual battery discharge, preserving data integrity without external supervision circuitry.
