Product details
Overview
DS1706ESA+ from Maxim Integrated is a 5.0V ±10% microprocessor supervisory circuit that monitors VCC, provides pushbutton reset control, and implements a 1-second watchdog timer with WDS output. It delivers active-low reset (RST), non-maskable interrupt (NMI), and strobe input (ST) for embedded systems requiring reliable power-up sequencing and fault recovery in industrial environments.
For engineers reviewing the DS1706ESA+ datasheet, DS1706ESA+ pinout, DS1706ESA+ application, or DS1706ESA+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4.25V–4.50V VCC trip point, 130ms minimum reset pulse width, 1.25V IN-sense reference, -40°C to +85°C operation, and compatibility with 8-pin SOIC footprint.
Technical Context
The DS1706ESA+ integrates three independent monitoring functions: precision VCC threshold detection using an internal bandgap reference and comparator, debounced pushbutton reset with guaranteed 130ms active-low pulse, and a monostable watchdog timer triggered by ST transitions with 1.0–2.2s timeout window.
Its NMI output provides early warning of power decay via high-impedance IN pin sensing (1.20–1.30V trip), while RST remains asserted for ≥130ms after VCC recovery. The device supports system-level shutdown coordination through NMI-to-PBRST feedback and uses internal pull-ups (40kΩ on PBRST, 180kΩ on ST) for robust noise immunity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Trip Point | 4.25V–4.50V (±10% for 5.0V systems); ensures reset activation before microprocessor brownout |
| Reset Pulse Width | ≥130ms minimum; guarantees stable power and processor initialization during power-up/recovery |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.0–2.2s; detects software lockup when ST input fails to toggle within interval |
| IN Sense Reference | 1.20–1.30V; enables user-configurable voltage monitoring via external resistor divider |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C; validated for industrial-grade embedded control and automation equipment |
| Supply Current | 60μA max at VCC < 5.5V; enables low-power always-on supervision without burdening supply |
| NMI Pulse Width | ≥200μs; provides sufficient timing margin for interrupt service routine entry |
Pinout & Package
DS1706ESA+ is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (150-mil) package, RoHS-compliant and lead-free per Maxim's ordering convention (+ suffix).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PBRST | Pushbutton Reset Input | Active-low, internally pulled up to VCC (40kΩ); debounced to generate ≥130ms RST pulse on release |
| VCC | Power Supply | Primary 5.0V supply input; monitored for out-of-tolerance condition triggering RST/NMI |
| GND | Ground | Reference node for all analog comparators and digital outputs; must be low-impedance |
| IN | Voltage Sense Input | High-impedance (≤1μA leakage); accepts divided-down voltage for early power-fail detection at 1.25V threshold |
| NMI | Non-Maskable Interrupt Output | Open-drain, active-low; pulses ≥200μs when IN falls below 1.25V, enabling preemptive shutdown |
| ST | Strobe Input | Active-high, internally pulled up (180kΩ); resets watchdog timer on each rising edge; requires toggling ≤1s |
| RST | Reset Output | Active-low, open-drain; held low ≥130ms after VCC recovery or PBRST release |
| WDS | Watchdog Status Output | Active-low, open-drain; asserts for ≥130ms if ST not strobed before watchdog timeout |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple-function supervision | Combines VCC monitoring, pushbutton reset, and watchdog timer in single 8-pin SOIC-eliminates discrete BOM components |
| Configurable sense point | IN pin referenced to precise 1.25V internal bandgap allows monitoring of any DC rail via resistor divider |
| Noise-immune NMI generation | 5μs minimum IN low-time requirement and 100μV hysteresis prevent false interrupts from supply ripple |
| Guaranteed reset timing | 130ms minimum RST assertion ensures reliable microprocessor reset across full temperature and voltage range |
| Pin-compatible upgrade path | Direct replacement for MAX705/MAX706 in DIP/SOIC/μSOP footprints-no PCB redesign required |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX706ESA+ | Same 5V ±10% VCC trip (4.25–4.50V), identical 8-pin SOIC package and pinout; lacks WDS output and IN-sense flexibility | No dedicated watchdog status flag; no user-configurable voltage monitoring via IN pin | Select MAX706ESA+ only if watchdog status reporting and external rail monitoring are unnecessary |
| TPS3823-50DBVR | TI part with 5.0V ±2% trip (4.90–5.10V), fixed reset timeout (200ms), no NMI or IN sense; SOT-23-6 package | Smaller footprint but no early-warning interrupt or programmable sense capability | Choose TPS3823-50DBVR for space-constrained designs where only basic reset is needed and higher trip accuracy suffices |
Compared with MAX706ESA+, DS1706ESA+ adds WDS output and IN-sense functionality for enhanced system diagnostics; versus TPS3823-50DBVR, it offers wider trip tolerance, NMI signaling, and flexible rail monitoring-critical for industrial fault recovery.

FAQ
What is the exact VCC trip point range for DS1706ESA+?
The DS1706ESA+ has a guaranteed VCC trip point range of 4.25V to 4.50V, corresponding to ±10% tolerance for nominal 5.0V systems. This specification is validated across the full industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) and ensures reset assertion occurs before most 5V microprocessors enter undefined operating states. The DS1706ESA+ datasheet specifies VCCTP = 4.25/4.40/4.50V (min/typ/max) under recommended operating conditions.
Does DS1706ESA+ provide both active-low and active-high reset outputs?
No, DS1706ESA+ provides only an active-low reset output (RST). Unlike variants such as DS1706LESA+ (which offers active-high RST), the DS1706ESA+ variant is designated for /RST and /WDS functionality per Maxim's ordering table. Its RST pin is open-drain and requires an external pull-up; no complementary *RST signal is present on this specific part number.
Can DS1706ESA+ monitor voltages other than VCC?
Yes, DS1706ESA+ can monitor secondary rails via its IN pin, which references a precise 1.25V internal bandgap. By connecting an external resistor divider between the target voltage rail and ground, users configure the trip point-for example, a 4.5V rail monitored with R1=26kΩ and R2=10kΩ yields VSENSE = 1.25 × (1 + R1/R2) = 4.50V. The DS1706ESA+ datasheet provides the full design equation and maximum allowable input voltage derivation.
What is the watchdog timeout behavior of DS1706ESA+?
The DS1706ESA+ watchdog timer times out between 1.0s and 2.2s after the last ST input transition, with typical timeout at 1.6s. Upon timeout, WDS asserts low for ≥130ms. The timer starts counting only after RST becomes inactive (i.e., after power-up stabilization), and each high-to-low ST edge resets the counter. This behavior is verified in the DS1706ESA+ AC Electrical Characteristics table under parameter tTD.
Is DS1706ESA+ pin-compatible with MAX705/MAX706?
Yes, DS1706ESA+ is explicitly documented as pin-compatible with MAX705/MAX706 in 8-pin SOIC, 8-pin DIP, and 8-pin μSOP packages. Pin assignments-including PBRST, VCC, GND, IN, NMI, ST, RST, and WDS-match identically across these families. This allows direct substitution without PCB layout changes, though designers must verify functional equivalence (e.g., DS1706ESA+ includes WDS and IN sense, while MAX706 lacks WDS).
