Product details
Overview
STM812MW16F from STMicroelectronics is an industrial-grade active-high reset supervisor IC in SOT143-4 package, monitoring 3.3 V supply (VRST = 4.25–4.50 V), delivering 140–280 ms reset pulse width, with 6 µA typical supply current and guaranteed RST assertion down to VCC = 1.0 V. It supports manual reset via MR input and is used in microcontroller-based embedded systems requiring reliable power-on and brownout reset.
For engineers reviewing the STM812MW16F datasheet, STM812MW16F pinout, STM812MW16F application, or STM812MW16F equivalent, key selection criteria include reset threshold tolerance (±25 mV at 25 °C), MR input pull-up resistance (10–30 kΩ), trec temperature stability (±10 ms over –40 to +85 °C), and compatibility with 3.3 V MCU I/O logic levels.
Technical Context
The STM812MW16F implements a precision voltage comparator with hysteresis to monitor VCC against a trimmed bandgap reference, triggering a monostable timer that generates a minimum 140 ms active-high RST pulse upon undervoltage or MR assertion. Its internal debounce logic rejects MR glitches <100 ns and ensures clean reset assertion even during fast VCC transients.
It features dual-output capability (RST and RST) and operates across full industrial temperature range (–40 °C to +85 °C) with VRST temperature coefficient of 45 ppm/°C. The MR input includes a 20 kΩ internal pull-up resistor, enabling direct push-button connection without external components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold (VRST) | 4.25–4.50 V at –40 to +85 °C - precisely monitors 3.3 V supply rails with ±25 mV tolerance at 25 °C |
| Reset Pulse Width (trec) | 140–280 ms - ensures sufficient MCU initialization time after power-up or brownout recovery |
| Supply Current (ICC) | 6 µA typ at VCC < 3.6 V - enables ultra-low-power operation in battery-backed or energy-sensitive systems |
| MR Input Pull-up | 10–30 kΩ - allows direct push-button-to-GND interface with no external resistor required |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.0–5.5 V - guarantees valid RST output down to 1.0 V, supporting deep brownout detection |
| Output Drive | RST sinks 1.2 mA (VCC = VRST min) - directly drives standard CMOS/TTL reset inputs without buffering |
| Temperature Range | –40 °C to +85 °C - qualified for industrial environments including factory automation and motor control |
Pinout & Package
SOT143-4 (W1) package: 4-pin, surface-mount, lead-free, small-outline transistor outline with 1.92 mm lead pitch and 2.80 × 2.10 mm body size.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Supply input | Power rail input monitored by internal voltage comparator; must be decoupled with 0.1 µF capacitor |
| VSS | Ground reference | Return path for all internal circuitry and output sink current; requires low-impedance PCB connection |
| RST | Active-high reset output | Push-pull CMOS output asserted high during reset; sinks 1.2 mA at VRST(min); valid down to VCC = 1.0 V |
| MR | Manual reset input | Active-low input with 20 kΩ internal pull-up; asserts RST when pulled low; immune to <100 ns noise glitches |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision 3.3 V supply monitoring | VRST = 4.25–4.50 V with 45 ppm/°C drift - matches 3.3 V system margin requirements while maintaining accuracy over temperature |
| Guaranteed reset assertion at low VCC | RST remains valid down to VCC = 1.0 V - ensures deterministic reset behavior during deep brownout conditions |
| Integrated MR debounce | No external RC network needed - internal logic rejects sub-100 ns glitches, simplifying board layout and BOM |
| Low quiescent current | 6 µA typical ICC - extends battery life in always-on supervisory applications such as smart sensors and IoT edge nodes |
| Industrial temperature qualification | –40 °C to +85 °C operation - validated for use in harsh environments including PLCs, industrial gateways, and motor drives |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar reset supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX809TRD3+T | 4.63 V reset threshold, SOT23-3, no MR input, 140 ms trec | Lacks manual reset function; limited to basic power-on reset only | Select when MR is unnecessary and board space constraints favor 3-pin SOT23 |
| TPS3808G12DBVR | 1.2 V threshold, adjustable via external resistor, 200 ms trec, 1.6 µA ICC | Designed for ultra-low-voltage systems; requires external components for threshold setting | Prefer for battery-powered devices needing sub-2 V supervision and minimal current draw |
Compared with STM812MW16F, MAX809TRD3+T offers smaller footprint but omits MR functionality, while TPS3808G12DBVR achieves lower ICC and adjustable threshold at the cost of added external components and reduced noise immunity on MR.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage range for STM812MW16F?
The STM812MW16F has a guaranteed reset threshold (VRST) of 4.25 V to 4.50 V over the full industrial temperature range (–40 °C to +85 °C), with a typical value of 4.38 V at 25 °C. This range is specifically calibrated for reliable supervision of 3.3 V supply rails with adequate margin against ripple and tolerance stack-up.
Does STM812MW16F require an external pull-up resistor on the MR pin?
No. The MR pin integrates a 20 kΩ internal pull-up resistor (10–30 kΩ over temperature), allowing direct connection of a normally open push-button switch between MR and GND. No external resistor is needed, reducing BOM count and PCB area while maintaining noise immunity up to 100 ns glitches.
Can STM812MW16F drive a standard CMOS reset input directly?
Yes. The RST output is a push-pull CMOS driver capable of sinking 1.2 mA at VCC = VRST(min), which exceeds the input leakage and capacitive load requirements of most microcontrollers (e.g., STM32, PIC, MSP430). It meets standard TTL/CMOS logic thresholds and requires no external buffer or level-shifting circuitry.
How does STM812MW16F behave when VCC drops below 1.0 V?
Below 1.0 V, the RST output ceases to sink current and transitions to a high-impedance state. To maintain a defined logic low during deep brownout, a 100 kΩ pull-up resistor to VCC is recommended per ST's application guidance - ensuring RST remains asserted until VCC fully collapses, preventing unintended MCU wake-up.
