Product details
Overview
MAX823SEUK-T from Maxim Integrated is a 5-pin SOT23 microprocessor supervisory circuit with active-low reset, watchdog timer (1.6s timeout), and manual reset input. It monitors +2.93V power supplies, guarantees RESET validity down to VCC = 1V, and provides 140ms minimum power-on reset delay. It is used in embedded controllers and critical µP monitoring where transient immunity and low quiescent current (8µA typical) are essential.
For engineers reviewing the MAX823SEUK-T datasheet, MAX823SEUK-T pinout, MAX823SEUK-T application, or MAX823SEUK-T equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, validated pin roles, confirmed reset threshold (2.93V), temperature range (–40°C to +125°C), and real-world substitution guidance for industrial and automotive µP supervision.
Technical Context
The MAX823SEUK-T integrates a precision reset comparator with 5mV hysteresis, a 1.6s watchdog timer cleared by WDI edge transitions, and an internal 52kΩ pull-up on MR. Its reset generator asserts active-low RESET for ≥140ms after VCC exceeds 2.93V or MR falls low, and holds RESET low during brownout down to 1V.
It operates across –40°C to +125°C in SOT23-5 packaging, supports bidirectional µP reset pins via 400µA max RESET sink (T/S/R/Z/Y versions), and rejects fast VCC transients via built-in noise immunity - no external components required.

|---|---|---|
| 1 (VCC) | Positive supply input | Accepts +2.7V to +3.6V; powers all internal circuits including watchdog and reset generator |
| 2 (GND) | Ground reference | Return path for all currents; must be low-impedance to ensure reset accuracy |
| 3 (WDI) | Watchdog input | Rising/falling edge resets 1.6s timer; left unconnected disables watchdog function |
| 4 (MR) | Manual reset input | Active-low; internally pulled up to VCC; 1µs pulse width sufficient to assert reset |
| 5 (RESET) | Active-low reset output | Open-drain output sinking up to 1.2mA; requires external pull-up for µP interface |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX823TEUK-T | 3.08V reset threshold (vs. 2.93V); otherwise identical pinout, timing, and features | Suitable for +3.3V systems with tighter tolerance margins; not drop-in for 2.93V-critical designs | Select only if system VCC nominal is 3.3V and 3.08V threshold meets design margin |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V reset threshold, 200ms reset timeout, 1.6µA IQ, SOT23-5 package | Lacks watchdog and manual reset inputs; designed for simpler reset-only use cases | Choose when watchdog and MR are unnecessary and ultra-low IQ (<2µA) is prioritized over feature set |
Compared with MAX823SEUK-T, MAX823TEUK-T offers higher reset threshold for +3.3V rails but sacrifices compatibility with 2.93V designs, while TPS3808G33DBVR reduces quiescent current by 75% but removes both watchdog and manual reset - making it suitable only for basic reset supervision.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX823SEUK-T?
The MAX823SEUK-T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 2.93V ±1.5% over –40°C to +125°C. This value is guaranteed per the Reset Threshold Table in the datasheet and corresponds to the "S" suffix. It is specifically optimized for monitoring +3.0V power rails with adequate hysteresis to prevent chatter during slow VCC ramps.
Does the MAX823SEUK-T include a watchdog timer, and what is its timeout period?
Yes, the MAX823SEUK-T includes a watchdog timer with a nominal timeout period of 1.6 seconds. The timer is cleared by any rising or falling edge on the WDI pin and automatically triggers a reset if no transition occurs within that window. This behavior is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table and Functional Diagram of the MAX823/MAX824/MAX825 datasheet.
Can the MAX823SEUK-T operate reliably at VCC = 1V, and what does that mean for system design?
Yes, the MAX823SEUK-T guarantees correct RESET output state (active-low assertion) down to VCC = 1V. This means the device continues supervising the microprocessor during deep brownout conditions, allowing controlled state preservation and safe shutdown - a key requirement for automotive and industrial systems where power collapse must be managed deterministically.
What is the function of the MR pin on the MAX823SEUK-T, and does it require an external pull-up resistor?
The MR pin on the MAX823SEUK-T is an active-low manual reset input with an internal 52kΩ pull-up resistor to VCC. No external pull-up is required - MR can be driven directly by CMOS logic, connected to ground via a momentary switch, or left open if unused. The datasheet confirms this internal pull-up value and specifies 1µs minimum pulse width for reliable reset assertion.
Is the MAX823SEUK-T pin-compatible with other members of the MAX823/MAX824/MAX825 family?
Yes, the MAX823SEUK-T shares identical SOT23-5 pinout and pin functions with all MAX823 variants (e.g., MAX823LEUK-T, MAX823TEUK-T) and is also pin-compatible with MAX824 and MAX825 in the same package. However, functional differences exist: MAX824 adds active-high RESET, MAX825 replaces WDI with active-high RESET, so substitution requires verification of required features beyond pin mapping.
