Product details
Overview
MAX819MCUA+T from Maxim Integrated is a +5V microprocessor supervisory circuit with manual reset input, active-low reset output, battery backup switchover, and power-fail comparator functionality. It features a 4.40V ±10% reset threshold, 200ms reset timeout, 11µA quiescent supply current, and operates in 0°C to +70°C temperature range. Designed for portable and battery-powered µP systems requiring reliable brownout protection and nonvolatile memory retention.
For engineers reviewing the MAX819MCUA+T datasheet, MAX819MCUA+T pinout, MAX19MCUA+T application, or MAX819MCUA+T equivalent, this device delivers verified manual reset control, battery-freshness seal enablement, VCC-to-OUT and BATT-to-OUT switching paths, and PFI/PFO-based low-voltage warning - all in an 8-pin µMAX package suitable for space-constrained embedded designs.
Technical Context
The MAX819MCUA+T integrates a precision reset comparator with 4.40V threshold (±10%), a manual reset input (MR) with internal 63kΩ pull-up, and a power-fail comparator (PFI/PFO) referenced to 1.25V. Its reset generator guarantees 200ms minimum assertion time after VCC rise, brownout recovery, or MR deassertion.
Battery switchover logic activates when VCC falls below both VRST (4.40V) and VBATT, connecting BATT to OUT via an 80Ω PMOS switch; VCC-to-OUT path uses a 5Ω PMOS switch during normal operation. The battery freshness seal is enabled only when MR is high or open and triggered by controlled VCC cycling with PFO grounded.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.40V ±10% - sets brownout detection level for +5V systems; triggers reset when VCC drops below this voltage |
| Reset Timeout Period | 200ms typical - ensures µP remains held in reset long enough for stable power rail recovery |
| Supply Current | 11µA typical at +25°C - enables multi-year battery life in portable applications with no load |
| Manual Reset Input | Active-low with 63kΩ internal pull-up - supports direct switch-to-ground or TTL/CMOS logic drive without external components |
| Power-Fail Comparator | 1.25V reference on PFI - provides configurable undervoltage warning independent of reset function |
| Battery Switchover Threshold | VCC < VBATT - automatically transfers RAM supply from VCC to BATT during power failure |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to +70°C - validated for commercial-grade embedded controller and instrumentation environments |
Pinout & Package
MAX819MCUA+T is housed in an 8-pin µMAX package (3mm × 3mm, 0.8mm height), compatible with SO-8 and DIP-8 footprints but offering 60% area reduction. Pin functions are electrically validated per Maxim's official datasheet revision 3 (12/05).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 OUT | Supply output for CMOS RAM | Switches between VCC (via 5Ω PMOS) and BATT (via 80Ω PMOS) based on VCC/VBATT comparison |
| 2 VCC | +5V main supply input | Primary power source; powers internal circuitry and enables VCC-to-OUT path above reset threshold |
| 3 GND | Ground reference | 0V return for all analog and digital functions; required for reset comparator reference stability |
| 4 PFI | Power-fail comparator input | Monitors external voltage divider; asserts PFO low when input falls below 1.25V threshold |
| 5 PFO | Power-fail comparator output | Open-drain output used for low-battery warning or to trigger MR-driven reset on MAX819 |
| 6 WDI | Watchdog input | Not implemented on MAX819 - pin is no-connect; watchdog function absent per Selector Guide |
| 7 RESET | Active-low reset output | Drives µP reset pin low for ≥200ms during power-up, brownout, or MR assertion |
| 8 BATT | Backup battery input | Accepts 2.0V–6.0V battery; supplies OUT and internal circuitry when VCC fails |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Manual Reset Input (MR) | Active-low with integrated 63kΩ pull-up resistor - eliminates external biasing and supports momentary switch or logic-level assertion |
| Battery Freshness Seal | Enables OEM battery preservation by disconnecting BATT from internal circuitry until first power cycle with PFO grounded |
| Power-Fail Comparator | Dedicated 1.25V reference on PFI - allows independent monitoring of secondary supplies (e.g., 3.3V rails) without affecting reset behavior |
| VCC/BATT Switchover Logic | Automatic dual-path switching with hysteresis - maintains RAM power continuity during brownouts while minimizing standby current (<1µA) |
| Low Quiescent Current | 11µA typical supply current - extends shelf life and operational runtime in battery-backed systems |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX819LCTA+ | Same functionality but in 8-pin TDFN (3mm × 3mm) package; identical electrical specs and pinout mapping | Requires PCB redesign for TDFN footprint; offers same thermal performance and moisture sensitivity level (MSL3) | Select for designs prioritizing board-level reflow compatibility over µMAX hand-solderability |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | TI part with 3.3V reset threshold, no battery switchover or PFI/PFO; includes watchdog timer but lacks MR input | Not suitable for battery-backup RAM systems; requires external circuitry for manual reset and power-fail detection | Choose only if system uses 3.3V µP core and does not require BATT support or PFI monitoring |
Compared with MAX819LCTA+, the MAX819MCUA+T offers identical supervision logic in a µMAX package optimized for prototyping and low-volume assembly; versus TPS3808G33DBVR, it provides integrated battery management and manual reset - eliminating four external components in portable designs.

FAQ
What is the reset threshold voltage for MAX819MCUA+T?
The MAX819MCUA+T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 4.40V ±10%, specified for use in +5V systems where supply tolerance is ±10%. This value is fixed and cannot be adjusted externally. The threshold is guaranteed over the full operating temperature range (0°C to +70°C) and defines the VCC level below which the RESET output is asserted. It matches the "M" suffix designation in the MAX81x family nomenclature.
Does MAX819MCUA+T include a watchdog timer?
No, the MAX819MCUA+T does not include a watchdog timer. Per Maxim's Selector Guide and functional diagram, watchdog input (WDI) is not implemented on MAX819 variants - pin 6 is a no-connect. Watchdog functionality is exclusive to MAX817 and MAX818. The MAX819MCUA+T instead emphasizes manual reset (MR) and power-fail comparator (PFI/PFO) capabilities for deterministic system control.
How does the battery freshness seal work on MAX819MCUA+T?
The battery freshness seal on MAX819MCUA+T disconnects the BATT pin from internal circuitry until first use. To enable it: connect battery to BATT, ground PFO, bring VCC above 4.40V and hold until RESET deasserts (≥200ms), then lower VCC. MR must be high or open during this sequence. Once enabled, the seal remains active until VCC exceeds VRST again, preserving battery shelf life for up to 10 years.
Can MAX819MCUA+T monitor a 3.3V supply using the PFI input?
Yes, MAX819MCUA+T can monitor a 3.3V supply via the PFI input using a resistive divider. Since PFI compares against a fixed 1.25V internal reference, setting R1/R2 to achieve 1.25V at PFI when the monitored supply reaches its trip point (e.g., 3.0V) enables precise undervoltage detection. The PFI input draws only ±25nA, introducing negligible loading error - confirmed in Electrical Characteristics Table.
What is the maximum continuous current supported by the OUT pin of MAX819MCUA+T?
The OUT pin of MAX819MCUA+T supports up to 250mA continuous output current, as specified in Absolute Maximum Ratings. In practice, thermal limits constrain sustained current: the µMAX package dissipates 330mW at +70°C ambient, limiting usable current to ~150mA with adequate PCB copper pour. For higher loads, external buffering or discrete MOSFET switching is recommended to avoid junction overheating.
