What this supervisor does and where it fits
The MAX821PUS+T: Monitors a 4V rail and asserts an active-low, push-pull reset signal when the supply drops below that threshold.
Temperature range and environment
Rated for -40°C to 125°C (TA), this part covers industrial enclosures, outdoor telecom cabinets, and under-hood automotive zones without needing a separate high-temp variant. If your board lives inside a motor drive or near an exhaust manifold, this temperature grade is what you need.
Package and footprint
Housed in a SOT-143-4 surface-mount package, it takes up roughly the same board area as a small-signal transistor. The pinout is standard for this class of supervisor — you can swap it into a layout originally designed for a pin-compatible part without a board spin.
Lifecycle and compliance
It is ROHS3 compliant, so it passes the material declaration gate for EU and California markets without an exemption certificate.
