Product details
Overview
STM802LM6E from STMicroelectronics is a 5 V microprocessor supervisory IC with battery switchover, NVRAM supervision for external LPSRAM, dual active-low and active-high reset outputs (RST/RST), and integrated watchdog timer (1.6 s typical timeout). It guarantees RST assertion down to VCC = 1.0 V and supports industrial temperature range (–40 °C to +85 °C). Used in embedded systems requiring reliable power monitoring and non-volatile SRAM backup during main supply failure.
For engineers reviewing the STM802LM6E datasheet, STM802LM6E pinout, STM802LM6E application, or STM802LM6E equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed reset assertion at low VCC, automatic VCC-to-VBAT switchover on power loss, push-pull RST/RST outputs, watchdog timer supervision, and compatibility with external low-power SRAM retention circuits.
Technical Context
The STM802LM6E integrates a precision voltage reference and comparator to monitor VCC against a fixed reset threshold (VRST ≈ 4.63 V), asserting RST/RST when VCC drops below VRST or after manual reset (MR) or watchdog timeout. Its internal P-channel MOSFET switch enables seamless switchover from VCC to VBAT (≥1 V) on power failure, maintaining VOUT for external LPSRAM.
It features dual push-pull reset outputs with 200 ms typical reset timeout (trec), a 1.6 s watchdog timer cleared by WDI edge transitions, and a power-fail comparator (PFI/PFO) with 2.4 V threshold. All RST and RST outputs remain valid during battery backup mode, and MR includes internal 40 kΩ pull-up.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply voltage | 5 V nominal; operates across full industrial VCC range with guaranteed RST assertion down to 1.0 V. |
| Reset threshold (VRST) | 4.63 V (typ); precise comparator ensures deterministic reset initiation during brownout conditions. |
| Reset timeout (trec) | 200 ms (typ); internal timer holds RST/RST asserted post-power-up or post-event for stable MCU initialization. |
| Watchdog timeout (tWD) | 1.6 s (typ); detects MCU lockup via WDI edge detection; disabled if WDI floats. |
| Battery switchover | Automatic VCC-to-VBAT transition at VSO (lesser of VBAT and VRST); enables zero-interruption SRAM backup. |
| Supply current (ICC) | 40 µA (typ) at VCC = 5 V; ultra-low quiescent current preserves system power budget. |
| Battery current (IVBAT) | 0.4 µA (typ); minimal drain extends backup battery life during extended storage or outage. |
Pinout & Package
STM802LM6E is housed in an 8-pin SO8 (Small Outline) package per JEDEC MS-012, with 1.27 mm pitch and surface-mount footprint. Pin functions are validated per STMicroelectronics DocID10522 Rev 11.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: RST | Active-high reset output | Push-pull output asserted high during reset condition; compatible with MCUs requiring active-high reset input. |
| 2: VOUT | SRAM supply output | Switched output connected to VCC or VBAT; powers external LPSRAM during main supply failure. |
| 3: PFO | Power-fail output | Push-pull signal goes low when PFI < VPFI (≈2.4 V) or VCC falls below switchover threshold. |
| 4: VSS | Ground reference | Common return path for all internal circuitry and external LPSRAM ground connection. |
| 5: PFI | Power-fail input | Monitors auxiliary supply or rail; triggers PFO assertion when voltage drops below 2.4 V threshold. |
| 6: MR | Manual reset input | Active-low input with internal 40 kΩ pull-up; asserts reset when pulled low; debounced internally. |
| 7: WDI | Watchdog input | Edge-sensitive input; clears watchdog timer on rising/falling edges; float disables watchdog. |
| 8: VCC | Main supply input | Primary 5 V power source; monitored for reset generation and used to drive VOUT when above VSO. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual reset outputs | RST (active-low) and RST (active-high) provide direct interface flexibility with diverse MCU reset architectures. |
| Automatic battery switchover | VCC-to-VBAT transition at VSO ensures uninterrupted VOUT supply to LPSRAM without software or external logic. |
| Low-power operation | 40 µA typical ICC and 0.4 µA IVBAT minimize impact on system energy budget during normal and backup modes. |
| Watchdog supervision | 1.6 s timeout with edge-triggered clear enables robust MCU health monitoring without dedicated timer peripherals. |
| Power-fail warning | PFI/PFO pair delivers early system-level alert before VCC collapse, enabling graceful data save or state preservation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX809SEUR+T | Single active-low reset only; no RST, no watchdog, no battery switchover; 4.63 V threshold; SOT-23-3 package. | Limited to basic reset generation; cannot support LPSRAM backup or watchdog supervision. | Select only when cost and footprint are primary constraints and battery backup/watchdog are unnecessary. |
| TPS3808G18DBVR | Adjustable reset threshold (via external resistor divider); no VOUT/VBAT switchover; no PFI/PFO; 1.8 V to 5.5 V supply range. | Requires external components for threshold setting; lacks integrated SRAM power management capability. | Choose when programmable reset voltage is required and external LPSRAM supervision is handled separately. |
Compared with MAX809SEUR+T and TPS3808G18DBVR, STM802LM6E uniquely integrates dual-reset outputs, automatic battery switchover, watchdog timer, and power-fail comparator in one SO8 package-enabling compact, self-contained NVRAM supervision without external logic or discrete FETs.

FAQ
What is the function of the VOUT pin on STM802LM6E?
VOUT is the switched output that connects to external low-power SRAM (LPSRAM). When VCC is above the switchover voltage (VSO), VOUT is driven by VCC; when VCC falls below VSO, VOUT automatically switches to VBAT, ensuring continuous power to preserve SRAM contents during main supply failure.
Does STM802LM6E require external components to operate as a reset supervisor?
No external components are required for basic reset supervision. The device includes internal pull-up on MR, precision voltage reference, and push-pull RST/RST outputs. External capacitors (e.g., 0.1 µF on PFI or MR) are optional for noise immunity but not mandatory for functional operation.
Can the watchdog timer be disabled, and how?
Yes-the watchdog timer is disabled when the WDI pin is left floating or tri-stated. In this state, leakage current must remain below 10 µA and load capacitance under 200 pF. Driving WDI continuously high or low will cause periodic reset assertion every ~1.8 s (tWD + trec).
What is the minimum VBAT voltage required for reliable switchover and reset assertion?
VBAT must be ≥1.0 V to guarantee valid RST assertion during backup mode. The device supports VBAT up to 5.5 V and allows VBAT > VCC. Switchover occurs at VSO-the lesser of VBAT and VRST (4.63 V)-ensuring maximum battery utilization before transition.
