Product details
Overview
MAX814TCSA+T from Maxim Integrated is a ±1% accurate, low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with active-low RESET output, 3.03V reset threshold, 200ms reset timeout, and power-fail monitoring capability - designed for reliable power-on reset and brownout protection in 3.3V portable and medical systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX814TCSA+T datasheet, MAX814TCSA+T pinout, MAX814TCSA+T application, or MAX814TCSA+T equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, exact pin roles, confirmed 3.03V ±1% reset accuracy, guaranteed RESET validity down to VCC = 1V, and real-world substitution guidance for +3V µP supervision.
Technical Context
The MAX814TCSA+T implements a precision voltage comparator with 3.03V ±1% factory-trimmed reset threshold referenced to VCC, and a separate low-line detector asserting at 60mV above that threshold. It features a manual-reset input (MR) with 150µA internal pullup and guaranteed 200ms minimum reset pulse width after MR release.
Its power-fail comparator monitors PFI against a 1.70V reference (confirmed for T-suffix parts), driving PFO low when PFI falls below threshold. All outputs - RESET, PFO, LOW LINE - are guaranteed functional down to VCC = 1V, with supply current capped at 75µA max across temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 3.03V ±1% - ensures deterministic reset initiation in 3.3V systems with ±0.26% supply tolerance. |
| Reset Timeout Delay | 200ms min - guarantees µP remains held in reset long enough for stable clock and supply settling. |
| Supply Current | 75µA max - enables use in battery-powered equipment with multi-year standby life. |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - supports valid RESET assertion during deep brownout down to 1V, critical for graceful shutdown. |
| Power-Fail Reference | 1.70V on PFI - allows early warning detection of 3.3V rail collapse before reset threshold is crossed. |
| Low-Line Differential | 60mV above reset threshold - provides pre-reset warning for controlled data save in portable systems. |
| MR Input Threshold | 1.10V max (low), 0.7×VCC min (high) - compatible with CMOS/TTL logic and mechanical switch interfaces. |
Pinout & Package
MAX814TCSA+T is housed in an 8-pin SO (Small Outline) package with gull-wing leads, RoHS-compliant and lead-free (+T suffix). Pin 1 is marked with a dot or bevel; pin numbering follows standard SO convention (counterclockwise from top-left corner).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | MR | Manual-reset input - active-low trigger with 150µA internal pullup; asserts RESET when pulled ≤1.10V. |
| 2 | VCC | Positive supply input - powers device and serves as monitored rail for reset and low-line detection. |
| 3 | GND | Ground reference - common return for all internal comparators and output drivers. |
| 4 | PFI | Power-fail input - compared to 1.70V internal reference; used to monitor auxiliary rails or generate early warning. |
| 5 | PFO | Power-fail output - open-drain, active-low signal indicating PFI has fallen below 1.70V. |
| 6 | LOW LINE | Low-voltage warning output - active-low signal asserted when VCC drops 60mV above reset threshold. |
| 7 | RESET | Active-low reset output - guaranteed logic low (≤0.4V) for VCC ≥1V; holds µP in reset during power-up/down/brownout. |
| 8 | RESET | Active-high reset output - inverted copy of pin 7; provided for systems requiring high-asserted reset. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ±1% worst-case reset threshold accuracy | Eliminates manual trimming and ensures system-level reset timing compliance over temperature, voltage, and process variation. |
| Guaranteed RESET validity to VCC = 1V | Enables robust brownout response in battery-powered devices where supply may sag below 2V before cutoff. |
| Power-supply glitch immunity | Rejects negative VCC transients ≤30µs at 100mV overdrive - prevents spurious resets from noise or switching spikes. |
| Integrated low-line detector | Provides 60mV pre-reset warning for orderly data save without external components or firmware overhead. |
| 150µA MR internal pullup | Allows direct connection of momentary switch to GND without external resistor; reduces BOM count and layout area. |
Applications
| Medical Instrumentation | Portable Diagnostic Devices |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Battery-powered handheld ultrasound or glucose meter requiring fail-safe boot sequence and low-power sleep mode. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervisory IC providing power-on reset, brownout detection, and early low-battery warning via LOW LINE output. Use Value: Ensures deterministic µP initialization and enables 200ms window for EEPROM write completion before power loss. |
Use Scenario: Wearable ECG monitor operating from coin-cell battery with strict energy budget and safety-critical startup. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Reset supervisor asserting active-low RESET until 3.3V rail stabilizes, while PFO signals impending power failure to initiate flash save. Use Value: 75µA quiescent current extends battery life; 3.03V threshold matches Li-ion discharge curve for optimal runtime utilization. |
| Industrial Controllers | Set-Top Box Power Management |
Use Scenario: DIN-rail mounted PLC module exposed to wide ambient temperature and unregulated 24V input. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-role supervisor: monitors 3.3V logic rail for µP reset and uses PFI to detect 5V I/O rail collapse. Use Value: Independent PFI/PFO path enables selective subsystem shutdown without full system reset, improving fault isolation. |
Use Scenario: Consumer STB with multiple voltage rails (3.3V, 5V, 12V) and requirement for clean channel-change reboot. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary reset generator for main SoC, with LOW LINE output triggering firmware-initiated soft reset before hard reset occurs. Use Value: 200ms reset pulse prevents partial register corruption; 60mV low-line margin avoids nuisance resets during transient load steps. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX814TESA+ | Same 3.03V reset threshold, identical pinout and function, but rated for -40°C to +85°C extended temperature range. | Suitable for industrial or automotive environments where ambient exceeds 70°C. | Select MAX814TESA+ when operation beyond commercial temperature range is required; otherwise MAX814TCSA+T suffices for 0°C–70°C designs. |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V reset threshold (±0.5%), 35µA supply current, no LOW LINE output, no PFI/PFO, only active-low RESET. | Lacks power-fail monitoring and pre-reset warning - limited to basic reset-only applications. | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR only if low-quiescent current is paramount and PFI/LOW LINE functionality is unused; MAX814TCSA+T retains full feature set. |
Compared with MAX814TESA+, MAX814TCSA+T offers identical core supervision but trades extended temperature support for lower cost in commercial-grade systems; versus TPS3808G33DBVR, it provides comprehensive voltage monitoring (PFI/PFO/LOW LINE) at higher quiescent current, enabling safer, more responsive power management.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX814TCSA+T?
The MAX814TCSA+T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 3.03V with ±1% worst-case accuracy across temperature and supply voltage. This value is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table for +3V parts and applies specifically to the T-suffix variant, ensuring precise reset initiation in 3.3V systems without external calibration.
Does the MAX814TCSA+T support power-fail monitoring on voltages other than VCC?
Yes - the MAX814TCSA+T supports external voltage monitoring via the PFI pin. When a resistive divider scales a target rail (e.g., +5V or +12V) to 1.70V, the internal 1.70V PFI comparator triggers PFO low. This is explicitly validated in the Applications Information section and Figures 1–3 of the datasheet for MAX814T/MAX815T/MAX816.
What is the function of the LOW LINE pin on the MAX814TCSA+T?
The LOW LINE pin on the MAX814TCSA+T is an active-low warning output that asserts when VCC falls to 60mV above the 3.03V reset threshold (i.e., ~3.09V). It provides pre-reset notification for controlled data save operations and is unique to the MAX814 variant - not present on MAX815 or MAX816.
Can the MAX814TCSA+T operate with VCC below 3.03V and still assert RESET?
Yes - the MAX814TCSA+T guarantees RESET remains valid (logic low ≤0.4V) down to VCC = 1.0V, per Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics. This enables reliable brownout response even as the 3.3V rail collapses well below its nominal value, supporting graceful shutdown in battery-powered systems.
Is the MAX814TCSA+T pin-compatible with other MAX814 variants like MAX814KCSA+?
Yes - all MAX814 variants (K/L/N/T) share identical 8-pin SO packaging, pinout, and electrical interface. The only difference is the factory-set reset threshold (4.80V, 4.70V, 4.55V, or 3.03V), making MAX814TCSA+T a direct drop-in replacement in 3.3V designs where the K/L/N versions would assert reset prematurely.
