For legacy boards that already use leaded solder, this is the correct replacement part.","metaTitle":"MAX808MEPA Battery Backup Circuit, 4.425V Threshold, 8-PDIP","metaDescription":"MAX808MEPA is an active MPU supervisor with battery backup, 4.425V threshold, active-low reset, 140ms timeout, -40°C to 85°C, 8-PDIP.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"RoHS non-compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Discrete Semiconductors"],"specifications":{"Type":"Battery Backup Circuit","Reset":"Active Low","Output":"Push-Pull, Totem Pole","Package":"Bulk","Mounting Type":"Through Hole","Reset Timeout":"140ms Minimum","Package / Case":"8-DIP (0.300\\\", 7.62mm)","lifecycle_stage":"eol_hot","Voltage - Threshold":"4.425V","Operating Temperature":"-40°C ~ 85°C (TA)","Supplier Device Package":"8-PDIP","Number of Voltages Monitored":"1"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$5.81","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":[{"qty":52,"price":"$5.81000","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icboms.com/2f77645567050eaa0f132dc9c3bcaf45.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Is MAX808MEPA RoHS compliant?","answer":"No, the MAX808MEPA is RoHS non-compliant. It uses a leaded (tin-lead) solder finish. For RoHS-required designs, look for a lead-free (Pb-free) variant in the same family."},{"question":"What is the reset timeout of the MAX808MEPA?","answer":"The reset timeout is a minimum of 140ms. After the monitored voltage rises above the threshold, the reset output stays low for at least 140ms before releasing the processor."},{"question":"What is the closest pin-compatible alternative to the MAX808MEPA?","answer":"The MAX808MEPA is a Maxim-specific ordering code. Within the same family, the MAX808CPA (8-PDIP, commercial temperature 0°C to 70°C) is pin-compatible but has a narrower temperature range. For a fully equivalent part with the same industrial temperature range, the MAX808EPA is the same die in the same package — verify the exact ordering code suffix for your temperature grade."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icboms.com/analog-devices/MAX808MEPA","citationPolicyUrl":"https://icboms.com/llms.txt","source":"ICBOMS","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"ICBOMS\" and link https://icboms.com/analog-devices/MAX808MEPA when reusing this data.
