Product details
Overview
MAX814LCSA+T from Maxim Integrated is a ±1% accurate, low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with fixed 4.70V reset threshold, active-low RESET output, manual reset input (MR), power-fail monitor (PFI/PFO), and low-line detection. It guarantees valid RESET down to VCC = 1V and delivers 200ms reset pulse width for reliable µP initialization in 5V systems. Used in medical equipment and portable battery-powered devices requiring precise brownout protection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX814LCSA+T datasheet, MAX814LCSA+T pinout, MAX814LCSA+T application, or MAX814LCSA+T equivalent, key selection criteria include reset threshold accuracy (±1%), supply current (75µA max), guaranteed RESET validity to 1V, 200ms timeout, and compatibility with 5V ±5% power supplies in commercial-temperature industrial control and instrumentation.
Technical Context
The MAX814LCSA+T implements a precision voltage comparator with 4.70V ±1% trip point referenced to VCC, independent low-line detector set 60mV above reset threshold (hysteresis 2mV), and power-fail comparator with 2.50V reference. Its MR input features internal 150µA pullup and accepts TTL/CMOS logic levels.
RESET assertion is synchronized to VCC crossing the threshold, with minimum 140ms pulse width after release and guaranteed low-state operation down to VCC = 1V. The device ignores transients ≤30µs at 100mV overdrive, providing robust immunity to supply glitches in noisy environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.70V ±1% - ensures reliable reset initiation across temperature and supply tolerance in 5V ±5% systems |
| Supply Current | 75µA max - enables use in battery-powered portable equipment with multi-year runtime |
| Reset Pulse Width | 200ms typ - meets µP minimum reset hold-time requirements for safe boot initialization |
| VCC Operating Range | 4.75V to 5.5V - supports full 5V system rail with margin for ripple and load regulation |
| RESET Valid Down To | VCC = 1V - guarantees known reset state during deep brownout or controlled power-down |
| Low-Line Threshold | 60mV above reset threshold - provides early warning of impending reset for orderly shutdown |
| Power-Fail Reference | 2.50V - enables monitoring of +12V or other rails via resistive divider with predictable trip point |
Pinout & Package
MAX814LCSA+T is housed in an 8-pin SO (Small Outline) package, RoHS-compliant and lead-free, with standard 1.27mm pitch and gull-wing leads suitable for automated SMT assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 MR | Manual Reset Input | Active-low CMOS-compatible input with internal 150µA pullup; triggers reset when pulled below 1.10V |
| 2 VCC | Positive Supply Input | Primary power rail connection; reset asserted when VCC falls below 4.70V ±1% |
| 3 GND | Ground Reference | System ground return for all internal comparators and outputs |
| 4 PFI | Power-Fail Input | High-impedance input referenced to 2.50V; used to monitor auxiliary supplies via external divider |
| 5 PFO | Power-Fail Output | Open-drain output sinking ≥1.2mA when PFI < 2.50V; signals early power degradation |
| 6 LOW LINE | Low-Line Detector Output | Active-low open-drain output asserting when VCC drops 60mV above reset threshold |
| 7 RESET | Reset Output | Active-low push-pull output guaranteed low ≤0.4V at ISINK = 3.2mA; valid to VCC = 1V |
| 8 RESET | Reset Output (Active-High) | Inverted copy of pin 7; high when pin 7 is low - supports µP reset inputs requiring active-high assertion |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ±1% worst-case reset threshold accuracy | Eliminates manual trimming and ensures deterministic reset behavior across temperature, voltage, and process variation |
| Guaranteed RESET validity to VCC = 1V | Prevents undefined µP state during deep brownout, enabling controlled firmware shutdown before power collapse |
| Low-line detector with 60mV offset | Provides 200–300µs advance warning before reset assertion, allowing time-critical data save operations |
| Power-fail comparator with 2.50V reference | Enables monitoring of non-VCC rails (e.g., +12V) using simple resistor dividers without external references |
| 75µA max supply current | Reduces quiescent power in always-on subsystems, extending battery life in portable medical and instrumentation devices |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX814LCSA+ | Same 4.70V reset threshold, identical pinout and specs, but leaded (non-RoHS) packaging | Legacy designs requiring tin-lead solder compatibility or exemption from RoHS compliance | Select MAX814LCSA+ only if leaded assembly is mandated; otherwise MAX814LCSA+T is preferred for RoHS compliance |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V fixed reset threshold, 3.0V to 6.0V operating range, 1.8µA quiescent current, no low-line output | Ultra-low-power 3.3V systems where early brownout warning is not required | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR only for 3.3V applications needing sub-2µA supply current; MAX814LCSA+T remains optimal for 5V ±5% systems requiring low-line detection |
Compared with MAX814LCSA+, the MAX814LCSA+ offers identical supervision functionality but lacks RoHS compliance; compared with TPS3808G33DBVR, it provides higher reset accuracy (±1% vs ±2%), dedicated low-line warning, and 5V-system optimization - making it superior for medical and industrial 5V applications demanding deterministic timing and early fault signaling.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX814LCSA+T?
The MAX814LCSA+T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 4.70V with ±1% worst-case accuracy across temperature and supply variations. This value is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table for +5V parts (MAX814L) and corresponds to the "L" suffix in the part number. It ensures reliable reset initiation in 5V ±5% systems while maintaining sufficient guard band against false triggering.
Does the MAX814LCSA+T support both active-low and active-high reset outputs?
Yes, the MAX814LCSA+T provides dual reset outputs: pin 7 is active-low RESET, and pin 8 is its active-high complement. Both outputs are guaranteed valid down to VCC = 1V and share the same 200ms pulse width. This allows direct interfacing with µPs or FPGAs requiring either polarity without external inverters, simplifying board design in mixed-logic systems.
How does the low-line detector in the MAX814LCSA+T function, and what is its threshold?
The MAX814LCSA+T low-line detector asserts its open-drain output (pin 6) when VCC falls to 60mV above the 4.70V reset threshold - i.e., at approximately 4.76V. It provides hysteresis of 2mV and is designed to give early warning before reset activation. This enables firmware to execute time-critical tasks like EEPROM save or status flag update before the 200ms reset pulse begins.
Can the MAX814LCSA+T monitor voltages other than VCC, such as +12V?
Yes, the MAX814LCSA+T can monitor auxiliary rails like +12V using the PFI/PFO pair. With a 2.50V internal reference, a resistor divider (e.g., 340kΩ/100kΩ) sets the trip point - for example, ~11.0V for +12V monitoring. When PFI drops below 2.50V, PFO sinks ≥1.2mA, allowing direct connection to a µP interrupt pin. This capability is documented in Figure 11 and Applications Information section.
What is the maximum supply current of the MAX814LCSA+T, and how does it impact battery life?
The MAX814LCSA+T draws a maximum of 75µA supply current across temperature and voltage ranges. In a typical portable medical device powered by a 2000mAh Li-ion battery, this contributes less than 0.004% daily drain - enabling multi-year operation in always-on monitoring modes. Its ultra-low quiescent current is explicitly cited in the Features list and verified in Typical Operating Characteristics plots.
