Product details
Overview
STM802RM6E from STMicroelectronics is a 3 V microprocessor supervisory IC with battery switchover, active-low RST output, manual reset (MR), watchdog timer (1.6 s typ), and power-fail comparator (PFI/PFO). It guarantees reset assertion down to VCC = 1.0 V and supports external LPSRAM backup in industrial systems requiring reliable power monitoring and non-volatile memory protection.
For engineers reviewing the STM802RM6E datasheet, STM802RM6E pinout, STM802RM6E application, or STM802RM6E equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world use cases for SRAM backup and power-fail warning, and validated alternative parts with documented functional differences.
Technical Context
The STM802RM6E integrates a precision voltage reference and comparator to monitor VCC against a 2.63 V reset threshold (VRST) with hysteresis, asserting RST low when VCC drops below VRST or MR is pulled low. Its internal trec generator ensures ≥200 ms reset pulse width after power-up or fault recovery.
It features automatic battery switchover via a P-channel MOSFET switch (VOUT connected to VCC above VSW = 2.4 V; to VBAT below VSW), plus a push-pull PFO output that asserts low on PFI < VPFI (1.25 V typ) or VCC < VSW - enabling early power-fail detection without external circuitry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold (VRST) | 2.63 V ±1.5% - ensures deterministic MCU reset before brownout affects core logic |
| Reset Timeout (trec) | 200 ms (typ) - provides sufficient hold time for full system initialization |
| Watchdog Timeout (tWD) | 1.6 s (typ) - detects MCU lockup without requiring software intervention |
| Power-Fail Threshold (VPFI) | 1.25 V (typ) - triggers PFO assertion before VCC reaches critical undervoltage level |
| Battery Supply Current | 0.4 µA (typ) - enables multi-year backup operation from coin-cell batteries |
| Operating Temperature | –40 °C to +85 °C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded applications |
| VCC Switchover Voltage (VSW) | 2.4 V - defines precise transition point between main and backup supply paths |
Pinout & Package
STM802RM6E is housed in an 8-pin SO8 (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package, measuring 4.9 mm × 6.0 mm × 1.75 mm, with standard 1.27 mm pitch and gull-wing leads suitable for automated PCB assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: PFO | Power-fail output | Push-pull active-low signal indicating imminent VCC failure; drives interrupt or NMI input |
| 2: VOUT | Supply output for LPSRAM | Switched output sourcing from VCC or VBAT; powers external low-power SRAM during main supply loss |
| 3: VCC | Main supply input | Primary 3 V system rail; monitored for reset and switchover decisions |
| 4: Vccsw | VCC switch status output | Push-pull logic-high when VOUT is sourced from VBAT; enables external PMOS control for >75 mA loads |
| 5: VSS | Ground | Reference node for all internal comparators and outputs; must be low-impedance |
| 6: MR | Manual reset input | Active-low input with internal 40 kΩ pull-up; debounced by trec timing - no external RC needed |
| 7: WDI | Watchdog input | Edge-sensitive input; toggling within 1.6 s prevents reset - used for MCU liveliness monitoring |
| 8: RST | Active-low reset output | Push-pull output asserted low during VCC fault, MR activation, or watchdog timeout; drives MCU reset pin directly |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guaranteed RST assertion down to VCC = 1.0 V | Ensures fail-safe reset even during deep brownout, protecting register state and memory integrity |
| Automatic battery switchover with 100 Ω switch | Enables seamless LPSRAM backup without external diodes or FETs; supports SuperCap™ integration |
| Integrated power-fail comparator (PFI/PFO) | Provides programmable early-warning signal (VPFI = 1.25 V) before VCC collapse - avoids last-moment data loss |
| 200 ms reset timeout with temperature stability | trec variation < ±10% over –40 °C to +85 °C - eliminates need for external timing capacitor |
| Low 40 µA operating supply current (typ) | Minimizes impact on primary 3 V rail; compatible with battery-backed systems where quiescent power matters |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Memory Backup | Smart Meter Data Retention |

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 | No battery switchover, no PFI/PFO, no watchdog; only reset supervisor with 2.93 V threshold | Suitable for basic reset-only use; cannot support SRAM backup or power-fail warning | Select only if system lacks battery, requires no early power-fail signaling, and uses higher VCC rails |
| TPS3808G12DBVR | Adjustable reset threshold (via external resistor), no battery switchover, no PFI/PFO, 200 ms trec | Offers design flexibility for non-standard VCC voltages but omits dual-supply management | Choose when precise threshold tuning is required and backup power path is handled externally |
Compared with STM802RM6E, MAX809SEUR+T lacks battery switchover and power-fail detection - limiting it to simple reset applications - while TPS3808G12DBVR trades integrated backup functionality for adjustable threshold, requiring external components to replicate VOUT/Vccsw behavior.

FAQ
What is the function of the Vccsw pin on STM802RM6E?
Vccsw is a push-pull output that goes high when VOUT switches from VCC to VBAT, and low when switching back. It provides a logic-level signal to drive the gate of an external PMOS transistor, enabling higher current (>75 mA) backup power delivery to external LPSRAM - extending beyond the internal 100 Ω switch's capability.
Can STM802RM6E operate without a backup battery?
Yes. When no battery is used, VBAT and VOUT must both be connected to VCC. The device operates normally as a reset supervisor and power-fail detector, with RST assertion guaranteed down to VCC = 1.0 V and PFO functioning based on VPFI and VSW thresholds - no battery dependency for core supervision functions.
How does the watchdog timer interact with the MR input?
The watchdog timer is disabled during reset assertion - meaning it stops counting while RST is active (low). When MR is pulled low, RST asserts immediately and holds for trec; the watchdog remains inactive until RST de-asserts and VCC stabilizes above VRST, at which point WDI monitoring resumes - preventing false timeouts during manual reset.
Is the PFO output compatible with 5 V logic systems?
No. PFO is a 3 V push-pull output referenced to VCC (nominal 3 V), with VOH ≈ VCC – 0.3 V and VOL < 0.4 V. Direct connection to 5 V logic inputs risks overvoltage damage. Interface via level-shifter or open-drain buffer with pull-up to 5 V is required for compatibility with 5 V microcontrollers or FPGAs.
