Product details
Overview
MAX823TEXK+T from Maxim Integrated is a 5-pin SC70-packaged microprocessor supervisory circuit with active-low reset, watchdog timer, and manual reset input. It monitors +3.08V power supplies, asserts reset down to VCC = 1V, features 140ms min power-on reset timeout, and provides 1.6s watchdog timeout-designed for reliable brownout and software fault detection in battery-powered embedded controllers.
For engineers reviewing the MAX823TEXK+T datasheet, MAX823TEXK+T pinout, MAX823TEXK+T application, or MAX823TEXK+T equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, validated SC70-5 pin mapping, confirmed 3.08V reset threshold, guaranteed 1V reset validity, and real-world substitution guidance for µP reset supervision in space-constrained industrial and portable systems.
Technical Context
The MAX823TEXK+T implements a precision voltage comparator with 5mV hysteresis and 40ppm/°C temperature coefficient to detect VCC drops below its 3.08V threshold. Its internal 140–280ms reset timeout timer ensures stable deassertion after power-up or recovery.
It integrates a dedicated watchdog circuit that triggers reset if WDI remains static >1.6s (1.12–2.40s range), cleared by any edge transition; MR input includes a 52kΩ internal pullup and supports noise-immune manual reset with 500ns delay and 100ns glitch rejection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 3.08V ±0.04V - precisely matches +3.3V supply monitoring with 2.5% tolerance at TA = -40°C to +85°C |
| Reset Timeout Period | 140–280ms - ensures µP initialization completes before release, even under worst-case temperature drift |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.12–2.40s - enables robust software hang detection without false triggers from transient code stalls |
| Supply Current (SC70) | 2–6µA - enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered IoT sensors and portable instruments |
| VCC Operating Range | +3.15V to +3.6V - fully compatible with regulated +3.3V rails, excluding undervoltage lockout interference |
| RESET Validity | Down to VCC = 1V - guarantees fail-safe reset assertion during deep brownout or battery depletion |
| MR Input Pullup | 52kΩ internal - eliminates external resistor, supports direct switch-to-ground or CMOS logic interface |
Pinout & Package
MAX823TEXK+T is housed in a lead-free SC70-5 package (2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.9mm), optimized for high-density PCB layouts in portable and automotive control modules.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET | Active-low open-drain reset output; sinks 1.2mA at VCC = 3.6V, sources ≤0.8×VCC when pulled up externally |
| 2 | GND | Dedicated ground reference for reset comparator and watchdog logic; requires low-impedance connection |
| 3 | WDI | Watchdog input; detects rising/falling edges ≥50ns; disabled if left floating or three-stated |
| 4 | MR | Manual reset input; active-low with internal 52kΩ pullup; asserts reset for ≥1µs pulse width |
| 5 | VCC | Positive supply input; operates from +3.15V to +3.6V; supports 0.1µF local bypass for transient immunity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision 3.08V reset threshold | Enables accurate supervision of +3.3V systems without external resistor dividers or calibration |
| 1.6s watchdog timeout | Provides deterministic software execution monitoring while avoiding nuisance resets from interrupt latency |
| 140ms minimum reset timeout | Guarantees sufficient hold time for slow-starting µPs and peripheral initialization sequences |
| Operation down to VCC = 1V | Ensures continuous reset assertion during battery sag or unregulated supply collapse |
| No external components required | Reduces BOM count and layout area-only VCC bypass capacitor needed for EMI suppression |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Modules | Portable Medical Sensors |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Compact programmable logic controller modules powering analog input circuits and isolated digital outputs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervises +3.3V FPGA configuration supply and asserts reset during brownout or firmware crash.

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 | SOT23-5 package, -40°C to +125°C operating range vs. SC70-5 and -40°C to +85°C | Better thermal margin for under-hood automotive use; larger footprint limits ultra-compact designs | Select when extended temperature range is mandatory and PCB area permits SOT23 |
| TPS3808G30DBVR | TI part with 3.0V reset threshold, 200ms fixed timeout, no watchdog or MR inputs | Lower cost for basic reset-only functions; lacks dual-fault detection capability of MAX823TEXK+T | Select only if watchdog and manual reset are unnecessary and 0.08V threshold offset is acceptable |
Compared with MAX823TEUK+T, the MAX823TEXK+T offers smaller SC70 packaging but narrower temperature range; versus TPS3808G30DBVR, it adds critical watchdog and MR functionality at higher integration-making it essential for safety-critical or field-upgradable embedded systems.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX823TEXK+T?
The MAX823TEXK+T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 3.08V, specified over -40°C to +85°C with ±0.04V tolerance. This value is confirmed in the Reset Threshold Table and Electrical Characteristics section of the official datasheet, and applies directly to the "T" suffix variant in SC70 packaging. The MAX823TEXK+T uses this precise threshold to supervise +3.3V power rails without external adjustment.
Does the MAX823TEXK+T include a watchdog timer, and what is its timeout behavior?
Yes, the MAX823TEXK+T includes a watchdog timer with a nominal timeout of 1.6 seconds, ranging from 1.12s to 2.40s over temperature. The timer resets on any rising or falling edge at the WDI pin and remains cleared while RESET is asserted. If WDI remains static beyond the timeout, RESET pulses low for 200ms. This behavior is intrinsic to the MAX823TEXK+T and distinguishes it from MAX824/MAX825 variants lacking MR or complementary reset.
Can the MAX823TEXK+T operate reliably when VCC drops below 2V?
Yes-the MAX823TEXK+T guarantees valid RESET output down to VCC = 1V, as explicitly stated in the General Description and Electrical Characteristics tables. Its internal comparator and logic remain functional throughout this range, enabling fail-safe reset assertion during severe brownout or battery depletion scenarios. This specification is measured and guaranteed for the MAX823TEXK+T across its full operating temperature range.
What package type and pin count does the MAX823TEXK+T use?
The MAX823TEXK+T uses a 5-pin SC70 package (2.0mm × 2.1mm × 0.9mm), confirmed in the Ordering Information table and Pin Configurations diagram. This lead-free, surface-mount package is distinct from the SOT23-5 option used by other MAX823 variants like MAX823TEUK+T. All electrical and timing specifications in the datasheet apply specifically to the SC70-5 form factor of the MAX823TEXK+T.
How does the manual reset (MR) input function on the MAX823TEXK+T?
The MR input on the MAX823TEXK+T is an active-low signal with an internal 52kΩ pullup resistor. A logic-low pulse ≥1µs asserts RESET for the full timeout period (140–280ms), and RESET remains asserted for 200ms after MR returns high. This behavior is documented in the Pin Description and Detailed Description sections and is exclusive to MAX823/MAX825 variants-confirming MR functionality is present and fully supported in the MAX823TEXK+T.
