Product details
Overview
MAX825SEUK+T from Maxim Integrated is a 5-pin SOT23 microprocessor supervisory circuit with manual reset input and complementary active-high reset output, designed for critical µP monitoring in automotive and industrial systems. It features a 2.93V 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 MAX825SEUK+T datasheet, MAX825SEUK+T pinout, MAX825SEUK+T application, or MAX825SEUK+T equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, thermal range confirmation, reset threshold accuracy, manual reset timing behavior, and validated alternative options for brownout-sensitive embedded controllers.
Technical Context
The MAX825SEUK+T implements a precision voltage comparator with 40ppm/°C temperature coefficient and 5mV hysteresis to detect VCC drops below its 2.93V threshold. Its internal 200ms reset timeout timer ensures stable deassertion after power recovery, while the manual reset input (MR) includes a 52kΩ internal pullup and 500ns MR-to-reset delay.
Unlike the MAX823/MAX824, the MAX825SEUK+T omits watchdog functionality but provides both active-low and active-high reset outputs-enabling direct interface with µPs requiring either polarity without external inverters. Its BiCMOS process ensures robust transient immunity and operation down to 1V VCC.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX825TEUK+T | 3.08V reset threshold (vs. 2.93V); otherwise identical pinout, timing, and package | Targeted at +3.3V systems with tighter upper rail margin; less tolerant of 3.0V nominal supplies | Select when system VCC nominal is 3.3V ±3% and brownout must trigger above 3.0V |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V threshold, 350ms timeout, 1.6µA IQ, SOT23-5, but no complementary reset output | Requires external inverter for active-high reset; optimized for ultra-low-power wearables, not automotive | Choose only if 350ms timeout and sub-2µA IQ outweigh loss of dual-reset capability |
Compared with MAX825SEUK+T, the MAX825TEUK+T offers higher reset threshold for tighter +3.3V rail monitoring, while the TPS3808G33DBVR trades dual-reset functionality for lower quiescent current-making MAX825SEUK+T optimal for automotive and industrial designs needing polarity flexibility and thermal robustness.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX825SEUK+T and how is it specified over temperature?
The MAX825SEUK+T has a nominal reset threshold of 2.93V, with a tolerance of ±15mV over the full operating temperature range (–40°C to +125°C). Its temperature coefficient is 40ppm/°C, meaning the threshold drifts no more than ±0.012V across the entire range-verified per the Electrical Characteristics table in the official datasheet. This precision ensures consistent brownout detection in automotive and industrial applications where supply rails vary with ambient conditions.
Does the MAX825SEUK+T include a watchdog timer function?
No, the MAX825SEUK+T does not include a watchdog timer. It belongs to the MAX825 variant, which provides manual reset input (MR) and complementary active-low/active-high reset outputs-but explicitly excludes the watchdog input (WDI) found in the MAX823 and MAX824 variants. This is confirmed in the Selector Guide and Pin Description sections of the datasheet.
What is the supply current of the MAX825SEUK+T and how does it vary between packages?
The MAX825SEUK+T, packaged in SOT23-5, draws 6µA typical supply current at +25°C (with a maximum of 12µA over temperature). This differs from SC70-packaged versions (e.g., MAX825SEUK+T is not offered in SC70; the SC70 variant is MAX825SEUK+T's sibling MAX825SEUK+T is SOT23-only per Ordering Information), which specify 2µA typical. The higher current in SOT23 reflects design trade-offs for thermal robustness at 125°C operation.
Can the MAX825SEUK+T operate reliably when VCC drops below 2.0V?
Yes-the MAX825SEUK+T guarantees correct RESET output state down to VCC = 1.0V, as explicitly stated in the General Description and Electrical Characteristics tables. This feature enables fail-safe operation during backup battery transitions or deep brownout events, ensuring the microprocessor remains held in reset until VCC recovers sufficiently for stable execution.
What is the function of Pin 3 (MR) on the MAX825SEUK+T and what external components are needed?
Pin 3 (MR) is an active-low manual reset input with an internal 52kΩ pullup resistor. It requires no external components for basic operation: a normally open momentary switch from MR to GND suffices. The datasheet confirms MR accepts standard CMOS logic levels (VIL ≤ 0.3×VCC, VIH ≥ 0.7×VCC) and specifies 1.0µs minimum pulse width-making it compatible with pushbutton interfaces and FPGA GPIO without debouncing circuitry.
