Product details
Overview
MAX825MEUK+T from Maxim Integrated is a 5-pin SOT23 microprocessor supervisory circuit with manual reset input and complementary active-high reset output, designed for precise power-supply monitoring in embedded systems. It features a 2.63V reset threshold, 200ms reset timeout, 2µA supply current (SC70), 6µA (SOT23), guaranteed RESET validity down to VCC = 1V, and operates across –40°C to +125°C.
For engineers reviewing the MAX825MEUK+T datasheet, MAX825MEUK+T pinout, MAX825MEUK+T application, or MAX825MEUK+T equivalent, key selection criteria include reset threshold accuracy, manual reset timing, temperature range compliance, and compatibility with bidirectional µP reset pins in automotive and industrial controllers.
Technical Context
The MAX825MEUK+T implements a precision voltage comparator with 40ppm/°C temperature coefficient and 5mV hysteresis to detect brownout conditions on VCC. Its internal reset timer ensures a minimum 140ms (typ. 200ms) assertion period after power-up or MR deassertion, independent of VCC slew rate.
Unlike the MAX823/MAX824, it omits watchdog functionality but integrates an internal 52kΩ pullup on the MR pin and supports dual reset outputs (active-low RESET and active-high RESET) for flexible interface with legacy or modern microcontrollers requiring either polarity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.63V ±1.5% - precisely monitors +2.7V to +3.6V supplies without external components |
| Reset Timeout Period | 140–280ms - ensures reliable µP initialization during slow-ramp power-up sequences |
| Supply Current | 6µA at +125°C - enables ultra-low-power operation in battery-backed systems |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial control environments |
| VCC Range for Reset Validity | Down to 1V - guarantees correct reset state even during deep brownout or backup-battery fallback |
| MR Input Pullup | 52kΩ internal - eliminates need for external resistor; supports direct switch-to-ground connection |
| Reset Output Drive | Sinks 3.2mA / sources 150µA - interfaces directly with CMOS/TTL inputs and bidirectional µP reset pins |
Pinout & Package
MAX825MEUK+T is housed in a RoHS-compliant, lead-free 5-pin SOT23-5 package (JEDEC MO-178AA), 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm, optimized for high-density PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RESET | Active-low reset output | Asserts low for ≥200ms on power-up, brownout, or MR activation; valid down to VCC = 1V |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all internal circuits; requires low-impedance PCB connection |
| 3 - RESET | Active-high reset output | Complementary to pin 1; provides inverted logic for µPs requiring active-high reset assertion |
| 4 - MR | Manual reset input | Active-low; internally pulled up to VCC via 52kΩ; triggers reset when pulled ≤0.3×VCC |
| 5 - VCC | Power supply input | Accepts 2.7V to 3.6V (for R-suffix); powers internal comparator, timer, and output drivers |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Preprogrammed 2.63V reset threshold | Eliminates external resistor divider; reduces BOM count and layout area in +3.3V systems |
| Guaranteed reset assertion to VCC = 1V | Ensures deterministic behavior during battery backup or low-VCC recovery scenarios |
| Internal MR pullup resistor | Removes need for discrete pullup; simplifies manual reset switch implementation with no external parts |
| Complementary RESET/RESET outputs | Supports both legacy (active-low) and newer (active-high) µP reset architectures without level-shifting |
| 140ms minimum power-on reset | Meets JEDEC JESD78 reliability requirements for reset pulse width in safety-critical applications |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX825REUK+T | 2.63V → 2.63V (same threshold), identical SOT23-5 package and temperature range | No functional difference; R-suffix denotes same electrical spec per Maxim ordering guide | Select only if marking or traceability requirements mandate R-suffix variant |
| TPS3808G125DBVR | 2.63V threshold, 350ms reset timeout, 1.5µA IQ, SOT23-5, –40°C to +125°C | Lacks complementary RESET output; single active-low reset only | Choose when system uses only active-low reset and ultra-low IQ (<2µA) is critical |
Compared with MAX825MEUK+T, the MAX825REUK+T is electrically identical but differs in top-side marking; the TPS3808G125DBVR offers lower quiescent current but requires external logic inversion for active-high reset support, increasing design complexity and board area.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX825MEUK+T?
The MAX825MEUK+T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 2.63V, with ±1.5% tolerance over –40°C to +125°C. This value is confirmed in the Reset Threshold Table of the official datasheet and applies specifically to the "R" suffix variant, which corresponds to the MAX825MEUK+T ordering code. The threshold remains stable across temperature due to a 40ppm/°C coefficient.
Does the MAX825MEUK+T include a watchdog timer function?
No, the MAX825MEUK+T does not include a watchdog timer. Per the Selector Guide and Pin Description section, the MAX825 variant provides manual reset input (MR) and complementary active-high reset (RESET), but explicitly omits the watchdog input (WDI) found in MAX823/MAX824. This makes MAX825MEUK+T ideal for applications requiring manual reset and dual-polarity reset outputs without watchdog overhead.
What is the supply current of the MAX825MEUK+T at +125°C?
The MAX825MEUK+T draws 6µA typical supply current at +125°C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table for SOT23-5 packaging. This value is measured with MR unconnected and applies across the full operating VCC range (2.7V to 3.6V). The low quiescent current supports long-term operation in battery-backed or energy-harvesting systems.
Can the MAX825MEUK+T drive a bidirectional microprocessor reset pin?
Yes, the MAX825MEUK+T can interface with bidirectional µP reset pins such as those on the 68HC11. Its RESET output sinks up to 3.2mA (at VCC = VRST min), allowing the µP to force the line low when needed, while the MAX825MEUK+T pulls it high with 150µA source current. This bidirectional compatibility is explicitly verified in the Applications Information section of the datasheet.
Is the MR pin of the MAX825MEUK+T internally pulled up, and what is its resistance value?
Yes, the MR pin of the MAX825MEUK+T includes an internal pullup resistor of 52kΩ (typical), with a range of 35kΩ to 75kΩ across temperature and process variation. This allows direct connection of a momentary switch from MR to GND without external components, and permits leaving MR open if unused - a feature confirmed in the Pin Description and Detailed Description sections of the datasheet.
