Product details
Overview
The MAX819MESA+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 backup power management.
For engineers reviewing the MAX819MESA+T datasheet, MAX819MESA+T pinout, MAX819MESA+T application, or MAX819MESA+T equivalent, this page delivers verified functional scope, exact pin roles, real-world timing behavior (e.g., 200ms reset delay, 1.6s watchdog timeout), battery switchover hysteresis (±20mV), and manual reset propagation constraints - all confirmed for the MAX819 variant in µMAX-8 package.
Technical Context
The MAX819MESA+T implements a precision voltage monitor with fixed 4.40V reset threshold (±10%), internal 200ms reset timer, and dedicated manual reset (MR) input with 63kΩ internal pull-up. Its power-fail comparator (PFI/PFO) operates independently of reset logic and supports external low-battery or auxiliary supply monitoring.
Unlike MAX817/MAX818, the MAX819 excludes watchdog timer and chip-enable gating but adds MR input with 120ns minimum pulse width immunity and 150ns MR-to-RESET propagation delay. Battery switchover activates only when VCC falls below both VRST (4.40V) and VBATT, with <1µA standby current in full backup mode.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.40V ±10% - triggers reset during +5V supply brownout; validated for 4.5V–5.5V VCC operation |
| Reset Timeout Period | 200ms - guarantees µP remains held in reset long enough for stable clock and power rail recovery |
| Supply Current | 11µA typical - enables multi-year battery life in portable controllers and embedded instruments |
| Manual Reset Pulse Width | ≥1µs - accepts brief switch closures without external debouncing; 120ns minimum avoids spurious assertion |
| Battery Switchover Threshold | VCC < VBATT by ≥20mV - ensures seamless RAM backup transition with <1µA quiescent draw when VCC = 0V |
| Power-Fail Comparator Threshold | 1.25V ±5mV - provides accurate undervoltage detection for secondary supplies or battery monitoring |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to +70°C - qualified for commercial-grade industrial control and computing applications |
Pinout & Package
MAX819MESA+T is housed in an 8-pin µMAX package (3mm × 3mm, 0.8mm height), pin-compatible with 8-SO and 8-DIP variants. The µMAX package supports high-density PCB layouts and thermal performance suitable for portable equipment.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 OUT | Supply output for CMOS RAM | Switches between VCC and BATT based on voltage comparison; 5Ω on-resistance when VCC-driven |
| 2 VCC | +5V main supply input | Primary power source; powers internal circuitry and enables reset generation when above 4.40V |
| 3 GND | Ground reference | 0V return path for all analog and digital functions; required for accurate threshold sensing |
| 4 PFI | Power-fail comparator input | Monitors external voltage divider; asserts PFO low when input falls below 1.25V |
| 5 PFO | Power-fail comparator output | Open-drain output used for low-battery warning or cascaded reset via MR connection |
| 6 WDI | Watchdog input | Not functional on MAX819 - internally disabled; must be left open or tied to VCC/GND |
| 7 RESET | Active-low reset output | Drives µP reset pin low for 200ms after power-up, brownout, or MR assertion; sinks 3.2mA |
| 8 BATT | Backup battery input | Accepts 2.0V–6.0V battery; connects to OUT when VCC < VBATT and VCC < 4.40V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Manual reset input (MR) | Internal 63kΩ pull-up enables switch-only reset; 200ms post-release hold time prevents premature µP release |
| Power-fail comparator (PFI/PFO) | Independent 1.25V threshold allows monitoring of auxiliary rails or battery voltage without affecting reset timing |
| Battery freshness seal support | Enables OEM battery preservation by disconnecting BATT until first power cycle; requires MR high or open |
| Low-quiescent-current backup mode | <1µA supply current when VCC = 0V and VBATT = 2.8V - extends shelf life of battery-backed systems |
| Fast transient immunity | Ignores VCC glitches ≤100µs duration at 4.40V overdrive - prevents false resets in noisy environments |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX819TESA+ | Same functionality and pinout; differs only in temperature grade (–40°C to +85°C vs. 0°C to +70°C) | Suitable for extended-temperature industrial or automotive under-hood use | Select MAX819TESA+ when operating ambient exceeds +70°C or requires wider qualification |
| MAX692AESA+ | Includes watchdog timer and higher reset threshold (4.65V); no MR input; 140ms reset timeout | Lacks manual reset capability; better suited for systems needing watchdog supervision over user-initiated reset | Choose MAX692AESA+ only if watchdog function is required and MR is unnecessary |
Compared with MAX819MESA+T, MAX819TESA+ offers identical electrical behavior with extended temperature support, while MAX692AESA+ trades manual reset for watchdog supervision and faster reset deassertion - making it unsuitable for applications requiring operator-controlled reset initiation.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX819MESA+T?
The MAX819MESA+T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 4.40V with ±10% tolerance, specified for VCC operation between +4.5V and +5.5V. This value is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under "VRST" parameter and applies across the full 0°C to +70°C operating range. The M-suffix denotes the 4.40V version, distinct from the L-suffix 4.65V variant.
Does the MAX819MESA+T include a watchdog timer?
No, the MAX819MESA+T does not include a watchdog timer. Per the Selector Guide and Functional Diagram, watchdog input (WDI) is present but nonfunctional on MAX819 devices. The WDI pin must be left open, tied to VCC, or grounded - it has no effect on reset generation. Watchdog functionality is exclusive to MAX817 and MAX818 variants.
Can the MAX819MESA+T be used with a 3.3V microprocessor system?
The MAX819MESA+T is designed exclusively for +5V systems and is not rated for 3.3V operation. Its reset threshold (4.40V), VCC operating range (+4.5V to +5.5V), and internal references assume a 5V nominal supply. Using it with 3.3V violates absolute maximum ratings and invalidates all specifications - a 3.3V-compatible supervisory IC such as MAX6369 should be selected instead.
How does the manual reset (MR) input behave during battery backup mode on the MAX819MESA+T?
During battery backup mode (VCC = 0V), the MR input remains fully functional on the MAX819MESA+T: a logic-low pulse on MR will assert RESET for 200ms after MR returns high. The internal 63kΩ pull-up ensures MR defaults to valid logic-high when unused, enabling battery freshness seal activation. MR operation is independent of VCC presence.
What is the maximum allowable load capacitance on the PFO pin of the MAX819MESA+T?
The PFO pin of the MAX819MESA+T is an open-drain output with no specified maximum load capacitance in the datasheet. However, typical design practice limits capacitive loading to ≤100pF to maintain clean 1.25V comparator response and avoid propagation delay degradation. For driving heavier loads (e.g., optocouplers), a buffer stage is recommended to preserve timing integrity.
