MAX809 Supervisor Push-Pull, Totem Pole 1 Channel SOT-23
The MAX809 is a low-cost, microprocessor supervisory circuit designed to monitor power supplies in digital systems. It asserts a reset signal whenever the supply voltage drops below a preset threshold, holding the reset state for a fixed delay after the voltage returns to a valid operating level to ensure stable startup for MCUs and logic chips. This 3-pin compact device operates over a wide temperature range, requires minimal external components, and delivers reliable power fault detection for embedded hardware, eliminating the need for discrete resistor-capacitor reset circuits.
Key features

● Built-in 140ms typical reset timeout delay
● Open-drain active-low reset output
● Low supply current of only 17µA typical
● Guaranteed reset valid down to VCC=1V
● Small SOT-23 and TO-92 package choices
● Industrial operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C
FAQ
Q: What is the difference between MAX809 and MAX810?
A: MAX809 has open-drain active-low reset output while MAX810 uses push-pull output.
Q: Can MAX809 work without an external capacitor?
A: Yes, the reset delay is integrated, no external capacitor is required.
Q: How to select the correct threshold variant?
A: Match the reset threshold to your system supply voltage to trigger reset before the MCU enters undefined operating states.
