The MAX823TEUK is a simple reset/power-on reset supervisor IC from Maxim Integrated. It monitors a single voltage rail and asserts a reset signal when the supply drops below the 3.08 V threshold, holding reset for a minimum of 140 ms after the rail recovers. The push-pull, active-low output drives directly into the reset input of an MCU, DSP, or FPGA without an external pull-up resistor.
RoHS non-compliant — check your BOM requirements
The MAX823TEUK is marked RoHS non-compliant. That means it contains lead (Pb) in the solder finish or internal construction, which exempts it from ROHS restrictions only if your product falls under a specific exemption (e.g., medical, aerospace, or high-reliability industrial). For EU or China RoHS markets, you will need a compliant alternate — the MAX823TEUK+T is the lead-free version, though the evidence does not confirm exact pin compatibility. Verify the alternate before swapping.
That makes it safe to specify into new designs and stable for ongoing production builds.
