Product details
Overview
STM1812LWX7F from STMicroelectronics is an active-high, push-pull reset supervisor IC designed to monitor 3.3 V or 3.0 V supply rails in microcontroller-based systems. It asserts a high-level reset signal when VCC drops below 3.06 V (typ.), maintains reset for ≥100 ms after VCC recovers, draws only 4 µA typical supply current, and operates across –40 °C to +105 °C - enabling reliable power-up sequencing in portable embedded controllers.
For engineers reviewing the STM1812LWX7F datasheet, STM1812LWX7F pinout, STM1812LWX7F application, or STM1812LWX7F equivalent, key selection criteria include its active-high push-pull output configuration, factory-trimmed 3.06 V threshold, guaranteed operation down to VCC = 1.0 V, and SOT23-3 footprint compatibility with DS181x/MXD181x families.
Technical Context
The device integrates a precision voltage reference, comparator, and reset timer to detect brownout conditions on VCC. Its reset assertion logic is triggered solely by VCC falling below the 3.06 V threshold (±2.5% over temperature), with no internal watchdog or windowing function.
Reset deassertion occurs only after VCC rises above threshold and remains stable for ≥100 ms (trec), with no manual reset input capability - distinguishing it from STM1813/1818 variants. The push-pull output drives high actively and sinks low without external pull-up components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 3.06 V (typ.), ±2.5% accuracy from –40 °C to +105 °C - ensures consistent brownout detection across industrial temperature range |
| Reset Pulse Width | ≥100 ms - guarantees MCU reset hold time sufficient for full core initialization and memory stabilization |
| Supply Current | 4 µA (typ.) at 25 °C - enables multi-year battery life in always-on supervisory applications |
| Operating Voltage Range | 1.0 V to 5.5 V - supports valid reset assertion even during deep brownout down to 1.0 V |
| Output Type | Active-high, push-pull - eliminates need for external pull-up resistor and provides strong drive into MCU reset pin |
| Temperature Range | –40 °C to +105 °C - qualified for automotive under-hood and industrial control environments |
| Package | SOT23-3 (WX) - 2.9 mm × 1.3 mm footprint compatible with high-density PCB layouts |
Pinout & Package
The STM1812LWX7F is housed in a 3-pin SOT23-3 (WX) package with gull-wing leads, JEDEC MO-178AC compliant, 1.45 mm max height, and RoHS-compliant ECOPACK® construction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RST | Active-high reset output | Push-pull driver that sources current when asserted (high) and sinks current when deasserted (low); directly interfaces MCU reset pin without external components |
| 2 - VCC | Supply voltage input | Monitored rail input and power source for internal circuitry; valid operation supported from 1.0 V to 5.5 V |
| 3 - VSS | Ground reference | System ground connection required for comparator reference and output stage return path |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-trimmed 3.06 V threshold | Eliminates external resistor network calibration and reduces BOM count in 3.3 V system designs |
| 100 ms minimum reset timeout | Ensures sufficient hold time for ARM Cortex-M and PIC microcontrollers to complete internal PLL lock and flash initialization |
| 4 µA typical quiescent current | Enables integration into energy-harvesting nodes and coin-cell-powered IoT sensors without compromising battery lifetime |
| VCC transient immunity | Rejects negative-going glitches ≤20 µs at 100 mV overdrive - prevents spurious resets during switching regulator noise events |
| Guaranteed operation down to 1.0 V | Provides deterministic reset behavior during severe brownout, avoiding undefined MCU states before shutdown |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Module | Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Power monitoring during cold-cranking when battery voltage dips to 6–9 V while engine cranks. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Reset supervisor asserting active-high signal to ARM-based MCU upon 3.3 V rail collapse.

Use Value: Active-high push-pull output drives both MCU and ASIC reset pins simultaneously without level-shifting or buffering. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar reset supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX809TRD2T | 3.08 V threshold (±2%), 140 ms reset timeout, 1.2 µA supply current, SOT23-3 | Lacks guaranteed operation below 1.8 V; not rated for full –40 °C to +105 °C range | Select when ultra-low current dominates over brownout robustness and extended temperature coverage |
| TPS3808G30DBVR | 3.0 V threshold (±0.5%), 200 ms timeout, 16 µA supply current, SOT23-6 | Requires external capacitor for timeout adjustment; larger 6-pin package increases layout area | Select when higher threshold accuracy and programmable delay justify added component and footprint cost |
Compared with MAX809TRD2T and TPS3808G30DBVR, STM1812LWX7F uniquely balances industrial temperature coverage, 1.0 V operational floor, and minimal 3-pin footprint - making it optimal for space-constrained, wide-temperature embedded controllers where deterministic brownout response is critical.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for STM1812LWX7F?
The STM1812LWX7F has a factory-trimmed nominal reset threshold of 3.06 V, with ±2.5% accuracy guaranteed over the full operating temperature range of –40 °C to +105 °C. This value is specified in ST's official datasheet (Doc ID11464 Rev 8, Table 9) and applies to the 3.3 V/3.0 V supply monitoring variant within the STM181x family.
Does STM1812LWX7F support manual reset via the RST pin?
No. STM1812LWX7F does not include manual reset detection functionality. Unlike STM1813/1818 variants, its RST pin is output-only and lacks push-button debounce circuitry. Pulling RST low externally will not trigger a reset pulse; the device responds exclusively to VCC voltage drops below its 3.06 V threshold.
Can STM1812LWX7F be used with a 5 V supply rail?
Yes - the device supports VCC inputs from 1.0 V to 5.5 V per absolute maximum ratings (Table 7). However, its 3.06 V threshold is optimized for 3.3 V/3.0 V systems. Using it on a 5 V rail would result in premature reset assertion unless the 5 V rail is regulated down to ~3.3 V first; for native 5 V supervision, STM1810/1815 variants with 4.37 V/4.62 V thresholds are recommended.
Is STM1812LWX7F pin-compatible with DS1812?
Yes. STM1812LWX7F is fully compatible with the Dallas/Maxim DS1812 in pinout, function, and timing - both are active-high, push-pull reset supervisors in SOT23-3 packages with 100 ms minimum reset timeout and similar threshold tolerances. ST explicitly states "fully compatible with DS181x and MXD181x products" in the datasheet introduction.
