Product details
Overview
MAX8211CSA+T from Analog Devices is a CMOS micropower voltage detector IC designed for microprocessor power-fail warning and programmable undervoltage/overvoltage monitoring. It features a 1.15V internal bandgap reference, ±40mV threshold accuracy (±3.5%), 5µA quiescent supply current, 7mA current-limited open-drain output sink, and operates across a 2.0V to 16.5V supply range. It is used in battery-backed systems to trigger NMI or reset on supply droop.
For engineers reviewing the MAX8211CSA+T datasheet, MAX8211CSA+T pinout, MAX8211CSA+T application, or MAX8211CSA+T equivalent, key selection criteria include threshold accuracy over temperature, hysteresis implementation via HYST pin, current-limited output capability for direct LED drive, and SO-8 package compatibility with legacy ICL8211 designs.
Technical Context
The MAX8211CSA+T integrates a precision 1.15V bandgap reference, comparator, and open-drain n-channel output stage with built-in current limiting (7mA typical). Its THRESH input accepts externally divided supply voltage, while the HYST pin provides an open-drain p-channel output for programmable positive feedback to set hysteresis width.
Unlike the MAX8212, the MAX8211 activates its output when THRESH falls *below* the 1.15V reference - making it ideal for undervoltage detection. Threshold trip voltage exhibits ±40mV accuracy at +25°C and ±200ppm/°C temperature coefficient, with supply rejection of ≤1.0mV over V+ = 4.5V–5.5V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.0V to 16.5V - supports logic supplies (3.3V/5V) and industrial rails up to 15V without external regulation. |
| Quiescent Current | 5µA typical - enables multi-year operation in battery-powered backup monitors and low-power IoT edge nodes. |
| Threshold Accuracy | ±40mV (±3.5%) at +25°C - ensures reliable trip point setting without calibration, even with 1% resistor networks. |
| Output Sink Current | 7mA typical, 30mA absolute max - allows direct driving of LEDs or small MOSFET gates without external current-limiting resistors. |
| Hysteresis Control | Open-drain HYST output with ±0.1mV THRESH/HYST disparity - eliminates chatter by enabling precise dead-band tuning via external R3 feedback. |

Pinout & Package
MAX8211CSA+T is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package with standard 1.27mm pitch, JEDEC MS-012AC compliant footprint, and RoHS-compliant lead finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| V+ | Positive Supply Input | Primary power rail connection (2.0V–16.5V); powers internal reference and comparator. |
| HYST | Hysteresis Output | Open-drain p-channel output used to inject controlled positive feedback into THRESH divider for noise-immune switching. |
| THRESH | Threshold Input | High-impedance MOSFET input (≤10nA leakage) accepting divided supply voltage; triggers output when <1.15V. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Analog and digital ground return; must be low-impedance path to minimize reference error. |
| OUT | Output Driver | Open-drain n-channel output with 7mA current limit; sinks load when THRESH <1.15V (undervoltage active-low). |
| N.C. | No Connect | Pins 3, 6, and 7 are internally unconnected - must remain floating or tied to GND per layout guidelines. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable Trip Voltage | Set via two external resistors (R1/R2) referencing internal 1.15V bandgap - eliminates need for external references or trimming. |
| Current-Limited Output | 7mA typical sink current with hard 30mA limit - enables safe direct interface to LEDs, optocouplers, or gate drivers without series resistors. |
| On-Chip Hysteresis Path | Dedicated HYST pin with ±0.1mV matching to THRESH - supports stable, chatter-free switching even in noisy environments. |
| Low-Temperature Drift | ±200ppm/°C threshold coefficient - maintains trip point stability across 0°C–70°C without compensation circuitry. |
| ICL8211 Drop-In Replacement | Pin- and function-compatible with bipolar ICL8211 in <16.5V systems - delivers lower IQ, tighter reference, and higher HYST drive (up to 10mA). |

FAQ
What is the primary function of the MAX8211CSA+T?
The MAX8211CSA+T is a programmable undervoltage detector IC that asserts an open-drain output when the voltage at its THRESH pin falls below its internal 1.15V reference. It is used to generate power-fail warnings, reset signals, or NMI interrupts in microprocessor systems. Its current-limited 7mA output and HYST pin enable robust, noise-immune monitoring without external components.
How does the MAX8211CSA+T differ from the MAX8212?
The MAX8211CSA+T activates its output when THRESH voltage is *less than* 1.15V (undervoltage mode), with a current-limited 7mA sink. The MAX8212 activates when THRESH exceeds 1.15V (overvoltage mode) and has no output current limit. Both share the same 1.15V reference, HYST pin, and SO-8 package, but their logic polarity and output drive characteristics are fundamentally different.
Can the MAX8211CSA+T be used for overvoltage detection?
No - the MAX8211CSA+T is specifically designed for undervoltage detection (output active when THRESH < 1.15V). For overvoltage detection, the MAX8212 variant must be used. Attempting overvoltage detection with MAX8211CSA+T would require inverting the sense network and forfeits guaranteed specifications, violating the intended operating mode defined in the datasheet.
What is the purpose of the HYST pin on the MAX8211CSA+T?
The HYST pin on the MAX8211CSA+T is an open-drain p-channel output used to inject positive feedback into the THRESH resistor divider. By connecting an external resistor (R3) between HYST and the THRESH node, users define hysteresis width - preventing output oscillation during slow-moving or noisy supply transitions. Its ±0.1mV matching to THRESH ensures precise, chatter-free switching.
Is the MAX8211CSA+T pin-compatible with the ICL8211?
Yes - the MAX8211CSA+T is a plug-in replacement for the bipolar ICL8211 in applications with supply voltages below 16.5V. It matches the ICL8211's 8-pin SO footprint, pinout, and functional behavior, while improving quiescent current (5µA vs. ~100µA), reference accuracy (±40mV vs. ±100mV), and hysteresis drive capability (up to 10mA vs. 21µA).
