Product details
Overview
STM805RM6E from STMicroelectronics is a 3 V microprocessor supervisory IC with active-high open-drain RST output, automatic battery switchover, power-fail comparator (PFI/PFO), and manual reset input (MR). It guarantees reset assertion down to VCC = 1.0 V, features 200 ms typical reset timeout (trec), and draws only 40 µA typical supply current. It is used in industrial embedded systems to safeguard SRAM data during brownout or main power loss.
For engineers reviewing the STM805RM6E datasheet, STM805RM6E pinout, STM805RM6E application, or STM805RM6E equivalent, key selection criteria include its open-drain active-high reset behavior, 2.4 V switchover threshold (VSW), 1.6 s watchdog timeout (tWD), and compatibility with external LPSRAM backup via VOUT/VBAT switching.
Technical Context
The STM805RM6E integrates a precision voltage reference, dual comparators (for VCC monitoring and PFI detection), and an internal trec timer that ensures minimum 200 ms reset pulse width after power-up or fault recovery. Its reset logic asserts RST high when VCC falls below VRST (2.63 V typ) or MR is pulled low - with RST remaining high for trec after recovery.
Battery switchover is implemented via a P-channel MOSFET switch connecting VCC or VBAT to VOUT; VOUT transitions to VBAT when VCC drops below VSW = 2.4 V, enabling continuous LPSRAM power. The PFO output provides early power-fail warning by asserting low when PFI < VPFI (1.25 V typ) or VCC < VSW.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold (VRST) | 2.63 V (typ); ensures reliable MCU reset before VCC drops below safe operating level |
| Switchover Voltage (VSW) | 2.4 V (typ); triggers automatic VOUT source switch from VCC to VBAT during brownout |
| Reset Timeout (trec) | 200 ms (typ); guarantees minimum reset pulse width for full MCU initialization |
| Watchdog Timeout (tWD) | 1.6 s (typ); detects MCU lockup if WDI signal is not toggled within this window |
| Supply Current (ICC) | 40 µA (typ); enables low-power operation in always-on supervisory circuits |
| Battery Supply Current (IBAT) | 0.4 µA (typ); minimizes backup battery drain during extended power-loss periods |
| Operating Temperature | –40 °C to +85 °C; qualified for industrial-grade embedded applications |
Pinout & Package
STM805RM6E is housed in an 8-pin SO8 (Small Outline) package per JEDEC MS-012, with 1.27 mm pitch and surface-mount footprint. Pin 1 is marked with a dot or bevel; device orientation follows standard SO8 pin 1 indexing.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PIN 1: PFO | Power-fail output | Push-pull output asserted low when PFI < 1.25 V or VCC < 2.4 V; signals impending power loss |
| PIN 2: VOUT | Supply output for LPSRAM | Switched output connected to VCC or VBAT; powers external low-power SRAM during main power failure |
| PIN 3: VCC | Main supply input | Primary 3 V system supply; monitored for reset assertion and switchover control |
| PIN 4: RST | Active-high open-drain reset output | Open-drain output pulled high externally; drives MCU reset line high during fault or power-up |
| PIN 5: VSS | Ground | Reference node for all internal comparators and logic; must be low-impedance connection |
| PIN 6: MR | Manual reset input | Active-low input with internal 40 kΩ pull-up; initiates reset on button press without external components |
| PIN 7: PFI | Power-fail input | Monitors auxiliary rail or scaled VCC; triggers PFO when voltage drops below 1.25 V threshold |
| PIN 8: VBAT | Backup battery input | Accepts 1.0–5.5 V backup source; automatically supplies VOUT when VCC falls below 2.4 V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guaranteed reset down to VCC = 1.0 V | Ensures valid reset signaling even during deep brownout, critical for nonvolatile SRAM retention |
| Automatic battery switchover at 2.4 V | Seamlessly transfers VOUT load from VCC to VBAT without glitch or delay, preserving SRAM state |
| Open-drain active-high RST output | Allows wired-OR reset bus configuration and direct interface with 3.3 V or 5 V tolerant MCU inputs |
| Integrated power-fail comparator (PFI/PFO) | Provides early warning of supply collapse ≥100 µs before VCC crosses reset threshold, enabling graceful shutdown |
| 200 ms reset timeout with no external components | Eliminates need for RC timing network, reducing BOM count and improving temperature stability |

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 | Fixed 3.08 V reset threshold; no battery switchover or PFI/PFO; SOT-23-3 package | Limited to basic reset-only use cases; cannot support SRAM backup or power-fail warning | Select only when minimal footprint and single-function reset are required, and battery backup is unnecessary |
| TPS3808G18DBVR | Adjustable reset threshold (via external resistor); 200 ms trec; no VBAT switchover or PFI input | Suitable for custom reset voltage designs but lacks integrated battery management for LPSRAM | Choose when precise reset threshold tuning is needed and external battery control circuitry already exists |
Compared with MAX809SEUR+T and TPS3808G18DBVR, the STM805RM6E uniquely combines open-drain active-high reset, automatic VCC/VBAT switchover, and PFI/PFO in one SO8 package - making it the only option among the three capable of end-to-end SRAM data retention during power loss without additional discrete components.

FAQ
What is the function of the Vccsw pin on STM805RM6E?
Vccsw is a push-pull output that indicates VOUT source status: high when VOUT is powered by VBAT, low when powered by VCC. It can drive the gate of an external PMOS transistor to extend VOUT current capability beyond the internal 75 mA limit, enabling higher-load SRAM backup configurations.
Can STM805RM6E be used without a backup battery?
Yes. When no battery is used, connect both VBAT and VOUT directly to VCC. In this configuration, the device operates as a standard 3 V supervisor with reset, watchdog, and power-fail functions - retaining full functionality except battery switchover, which becomes inactive.
Is the RST output truly open-drain, and what pull-up is required?
Yes, RST is an open-drain output requiring an external pull-up resistor. ST recommends 10 kΩ to 100 kΩ to VCC (3.3 V or 5 V), depending on rise time and bus loading. This allows flexible voltage-level translation and wired-OR reset bus implementation with other supervisors or MCUs.
How does the power-fail comparator interact with the reset function?
The PFI/PFO circuit operates independently of the reset comparator: PFO asserts low when PFI < 1.25 V or VCC < 2.4 V, but does not trigger RST. This enables early warning for firmware-initiated shutdown while reserving RST for hard faults like VCC collapse below 2.63 V or manual reset activation.
