Product details
Overview
MAX823LEUK from Maxim Integrated is a 5-pin SOT23 microprocessor supervisory circuit with active-low reset, watchdog timer, and manual reset input, designed for critical µP monitoring in automotive and industrial systems. It features a 4.63V reset threshold, 140ms minimum power-on reset timeout, 1.6s watchdog timeout, guaranteed RESET validity down to VCC = 1V, and operates across –40°C to +125°C.
For engineers reviewing the MAX823LEUK datasheet, MAX823LEUK pinout, MAX823LEUK application, or MAX823LEUK equivalent, key selection criteria include reset threshold accuracy, wide-temperature operation, watchdog immunity to software lockup, and compatibility with bidirectional µP reset pins in harsh environments.
Technical Context
The MAX823LEUK integrates a precision voltage comparator with 40ppm/°C temperature coefficient, a monostable reset timer with 140–280ms timeout, and a watchdog circuit that clears on WDI edge transitions (≥50ns pulse width). Its internal 52kΩ MR pullup enables direct switch interfacing without external components.
It uses BiCMOS process technology (607 transistors) and delivers 3–8µA supply current in SOT23 package at +25°C. The RESET output sources up to 800µA and sinks 3.2mA, supporting direct connection to µPs like the 68HC11 with bidirectional reset pins.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
MAX823LEUK is housed in a RoHS-compliant (lead-free optional) 5-pin SOT23 package (drawing 21-0057F), footprint-compatible with industry-standard SC70-5 but optimized for high-temperature reliability.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RESET | Active-low reset output | Asserts low for ≥200ms on power-up, brownout, WDI timeout, or MR low; sinks 3.2mA, sources 800µA |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all internal circuits; requires low-impedance PCB connection |
| 3 - WDI | Watchdog input | Edge-sensitive (rising/falling); clears 1.6s timer on transition; disabled if left floating or three-stated |
| 4 - MR | Manual reset input | Active-low; internal 52kΩ pullup; asserts reset while low and for 200ms after release |
| 5 - VCC | Power supply input | Operates from 1.0V to 5.5V; reset guaranteed valid down to 1V; supports bypass capacitor for transient immunity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision 4.63V reset threshold | Enables accurate +5V supply monitoring with <±1.5% tolerance over full temperature range |
| 1.6s watchdog timer with edge-triggered clear | Prevents firmware lockup without requiring periodic high/low toggling-supports robust software flow checking |
| Internal 52kΩ MR pullup resistor | Eliminates need for external pullup; allows direct connection of momentary switch to GND |
| RESET valid to VCC = 1V | Ensures continuous reset assertion during severe undervoltage events, preventing partial µP execution |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX823LEUK+T | Identical electrical specs and SOT23-5 package; lead-free (RoHS-compliant) variant with +T suffix | Required for new designs targeting RoHS/REACH compliance; same thermal and timing performance | Select when lead-free assembly is mandated; no layout or firmware changes needed |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V fixed reset threshold, 200ms timeout, 1.6µA IQ, SOT23-5; lacks watchdog and manual reset inputs | Suitable only for basic reset-only applications; not interchangeable where watchdog or MR functionality is required | Choose only if system design omits watchdog/MR needs and prioritizes ultra-low quiescent current |
Compared with MAX823LEUK, the MAX823LEUK+T offers identical functionality in a RoHS-compliant package, while the TPS3808G33DBVR provides lower IQ but sacrifices watchdog and manual reset-making it unsuitable as a functional replacement in existing MAX823LEUK designs.

FAQ
What is the reset threshold voltage of the MAX823LEUK and how is it specified?
The MAX823LEUK has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 4.63V with ±1.5% tolerance over the full operating temperature range (–40°C to +125°C). This value is guaranteed per the Reset Threshold Table in the datasheet and applies specifically to the "L" suffix variant. The threshold exhibits a 40ppm/°C temperature coefficient, ensuring stability across automotive and industrial thermal profiles. The MAX823LEUK uses this precise threshold to monitor +5V power rails and assert reset during brownout conditions.
Does the MAX823LEUK support watchdog functionality, and what is its timeout period?
Yes, the MAX823LEUK includes a watchdog timer with a nominal timeout period of 1.6 seconds, specified from 1.12s to 2.40s over temperature. The timer clears on any rising or falling edge at the WDI pin (minimum pulse width 50ns) and also resets when the RESET output is asserted. If WDI remains static beyond the timeout, the device triggers a reset pulse. This feature is confirmed for the MAX823 series-including the MAX823LEUK-and is absent in MAX824/MAX825 variants without the "3" designation.
What package type and temperature range does the MAX823LEUK use?
The MAX823LEUK is packaged in a 5-pin SOT23 (drawing 21-0057F) and is rated for operation from –40°C to +125°C. This high-temperature grade distinguishes it from the "EXK" variants (–40°C to +85°C) and confirms its suitability for under-hood automotive and industrial control applications. The "EUK" suffix explicitly denotes the SOT23-5 package and extended temperature range, as documented in the Ordering Information table.
Can the MAX823LEUK drive a microprocessor with a bidirectional reset pin?
Yes, the MAX823LEUK RESET output is designed to interface directly with bidirectional µP reset pins such as those found on the 68HC11. Its RESET pin can sink up to 3.2mA and source up to 800µA, enabling the µP to override the supervisor's reset signal when necessary. This capability is explicitly verified in the "Interfacing to µPs with Bidirectional Reset Pins" section of the datasheet and applies to the MAX823LEUK's L/M versions, which match the 800µA sourcing specification.
Is there an internal pullup resistor on the MR pin of the MAX823LEUK, and what is its value?
Yes, the MAX823LEUK includes an internal pullup resistor on the MR (manual reset) pin with a nominal value of 52kΩ, specified from 35kΩ to 75kΩ over temperature. This allows the MR pin to be left unconnected (floating) when unused, or driven directly by a CMOS logic output or momentary switch to ground-eliminating the need for external components. This parameter is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under "MR Pullup Resistance (internal)" and applies to all MAX823 variants including the MAX823LEUK.
