Product details
Overview
STM819LM6E from STMicroelectronics is a 5 V microprocessor supervisory IC with battery switchover, active-low and active-high reset outputs, manual reset input (MR), power-fail comparator (PFI/PFO), and battery freshness seal - designed for non-volatile SRAM backup in industrial embedded systems requiring guaranteed RST assertion down to VCC = 1.0 V and trec = 200 ms (typ).
For engineers reviewing the STM819LM6E datasheet, STM819LM6E pinout, STM819LM6E application, or STM819LM6E equivalent, this device serves as a precision voltage-monitoring supervisor with dual-reset signaling, battery-backed LPSRAM support, and industrial-grade operation from –40 °C to +85 °C.
Technical Context
The STM819LM6E implements a dual-comparator architecture: one monitors VCC against VRST (reset threshold) to assert RST/RST during brownout or power-up, while a second compares PFI against VPFI (2.4 V typ) or detects VCC < VSO to drive PFO low for early power-fail warning. Reset timing is controlled by an internal trec generator ensuring ≥200 ms minimum pulse width.
It features a dedicated MR input with internal 40 kΩ pull-up, enabling push-button reset without external components; VOUT automatically switches between VCC and VBAT via a P-channel MOSFET when VCC falls below VSO (lesser of VRST or VBAT), supporting seamless SRAM backup with ≤100 Ω on-resistance and 0.4 µA battery supply current (typ).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC operating voltage | 5 V nominal; supports stable supervision across full industrial range without external regulation. |
| Reset threshold (VRST) | 4.63 V (typ); guarantees RST assertion until VCC rises above threshold plus hysteresis. |
| Reset timeout (trec) | 200 ms (typ); ensures sufficient MCU initialization time after power-up or recovery. |
| Battery supply current | 0.4 µA (typ); minimizes drain on backup battery during extended VCC loss. |
| Power-fail detection threshold | 2.4 V (typ) on PFI; triggers PFO low before critical system voltage collapse. |
| Operating temperature | –40 °C to +85 °C; qualified for industrial environments without derating. |
| Reset output type | Push-pull RST and RST; eliminates need for external pull-ups in most MCU interfaces. |
Pinout & Package
STM819LM6E is housed in an SO8 (Small Outline 8-pin) package with standard 1.27 mm pitch, RoHS-compliant lead-free finish, and surface-mount compatibility for automated PCB assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RST | Active-high reset output; drives high during valid VCC and asserts low only during fault conditions. |
| 2 | VOUT | Switched output supplying external LPSRAM; auto-selects VCC or VBAT based on switchover logic. |
| 3 | PFO | Push-pull power-fail output; goes low when PFI < 2.4 V or VCC < VSO, signaling impending supply loss. |
| 4 | VBAT | Backup battery input; enables automatic switchover to preserve SRAM data during main supply failure. |
| 5 | PFI | Power-fail input; monitors auxiliary rail or scaled VCC to trigger early PFO warning. |
| 6 | MR | Manual reset input; active-low with internal 40 kΩ pull-up; debounced internally for push-button use. |
| 7 | VSS | Ground reference; common return path for all analog and digital functions. |
| 8 | VCC | Main supply input; powers internal comparators, timers, and output drivers at 5 V nominal. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Battery freshness seal | Enables factory-sealed battery installation; prevents discharge during storage/shipment until first VCC power-up. |
| Dual reset signaling | Simultaneous RST (active-low) and RST (active-high) outputs simplify interface to diverse MCU reset architectures. |
| Automatic VCC/VBAT switchover | VOUT transitions within 10 µs (typ) when VCC drops below VSO, preserving SRAM state without software intervention. |
| Low-power battery mode | 0.4 µA (typ) VBAT supply current extends backup runtime in long-duration outage scenarios. |
| Integrated power-fail comparator | Dedicated PFI/PFO path provides deterministic early-warning signal independent of reset threshold logic. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STM805LWY6F | Lacks MR input and PFI/PFO; single active-high RST only; no battery switchover. | Suitable only for basic reset generation without backup or power-fail warning. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for SRAM backup or early power-loss detection. |
| MAX6361KA29+T | Higher reset threshold (2.93 V); no VOUT switching; includes watchdog timer (absent in STM819). | Designed for 3.3 V systems; incompatible with 5 V LPSRAM backup architecture. | Choose only for 3.3 V designs requiring watchdog supervision but not battery switchover. |
Compared with STM805LWY6F and MAX6361KA29+T, the STM819LM6E uniquely integrates MR, PFI/PFO, and VOUT battery switchover in a single 5 V supervisor - enabling complete SRAM data retention, manual reset, and predictive power-fail response without external components.

FAQ
What is the function of the MR pin on STM819LM6E?
The MR (Manual Reset) pin is an active-low input with internal 40 kΩ pull-up that directly asserts both RST and RST outputs when pulled low. It remains asserted for trec (200 ms typ) after MR returns high, enabling reliable push-button reset without external debounce circuitry. MR may be left floating if unused.
Does STM819LM6E include a watchdog timer?
No. The STM819LM6E does not include a watchdog timer - this feature is explicitly excluded per datasheet Section 2.3 ("Watchdog input NOT available on STM703/704/819"). Devices in the same family offering watchdog functionality include STM690A, STM692A, STM802, STM805, and STM817.
How does the battery freshness seal operate on STM819LM6E?
The battery freshness seal prevents VBAT discharge during storage by disabling the VOUT switch until VCC first exceeds VRST (4.63 V). Once powered, the seal is activated; subsequent VCC removal does not re-enable it unless the procedure in Section 2.12 of the datasheet is followed - ensuring zero battery drain pre-deployment.
Can VBAT exceed VCC on STM819LM6E?
Yes. VBAT may safely exceed VCC, as confirmed in Section 1.1.6 of the datasheet. When VCC falls below VSO (lesser of VRST or VBAT), the internal P-channel MOSFET connects VBAT to VOUT. This allows use of higher-voltage backup sources (e.g., 3.6 V Li-ion) while maintaining 5 V system operation.
