Product details
Overview
DS1706LEPA from Maxim Integrated is a 5V ±5% precision microprocessor supervisory circuit with active-high reset output (RST), watchdog status output (/WDS), non-maskable interrupt (NMI), and pushbutton reset debouncing - designed for industrial embedded systems requiring reliable power-up/power-down sequencing, early power-fail warning, and software execution monitoring in 5V microcontroller applications.
For engineers reviewing the DS1706LEPA datasheet, DS1706LEPA pinout, DS1706LEPA application, or DS1706LEPA equivalent, key selection criteria include VCC trip point accuracy (4.50–4.75V), 130ms minimum reset pulse width, 1s watchdog timeout, NMI response latency (<8μs), and compatibility with 8-pin DIP packaging for legacy board integration.
Technical Context
The DS1706LEPA integrates three independent monitoring functions: (1) precision VCC supervision with 4.50–4.75V trip point and 130–285ms reset assertion time; (2) hardware-debounced pushbutton reset generating ≥130ms active-high RST pulse; and (3) 1.0–2.2s watchdog timer with ST input strobe detection and /WDS active-low timeout flag.
Its NMI output provides early power-fail warning via high-impedance IN pin (1.20–1.30V threshold) referenced to internal bandgap, enabling user-defined voltage sense points upstream of VCC - with built-in 100μV hysteresis and 5μs noise immunity to suppress false interrupts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Trip Point | 4.50–4.75V; ensures reset activation before 5V supply drops below processor operational minimum. |
| Reset Pulse Width | 130–285ms; guarantees sufficient time for microprocessor and power supply stabilization after power-up or recovery. |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.0–2.2s; detects software hang by requiring ST input strobe within interval to prevent /WDS assertion. |
| NMI Response Delay | 5–8μs; delivers early power-fail alert to enable controlled system shutdown before reset triggers. |
| Operating Current | 60μA at VCC < 5.5V; enables low-power operation in battery-backed or energy-sensitive embedded designs. |
| IN Pin Threshold | 1.20–1.30V; supports flexible external voltage sensing via resistor divider for upstream supply monitoring. |
| Temperature Range | -40°C to +85°C; qualified for industrial environments without derating or thermal management overhead. |
Pinout & Package
DS1706LEPA is supplied in an 8-pin plastic DIP (300-mil) package, compatible with through-hole assembly and legacy PCB layouts. Pin spacing and footprint conform to JEDEC MS-001 standard.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PBRST | Pushbutton Reset Input | Active-low debounced input; initiates ≥130ms RST pulse on button release, supporting manual system recovery. |
| VCC | Power Supply | Primary 5V supply input; powers internal comparators, timer, and outputs; monitored for trip condition. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Common return path for all analog and digital circuitry; required for accurate voltage threshold referencing. |
| IN | Voltage Sense Input | High-impedance input for external voltage divider; enables early detection of upstream supply degradation. |
| NMI | Non-Maskable Interrupt Output | Active-low interrupt signal pulsed ≥200μs when IN falls below 1.25V; used for preemptive firmware shutdown. |
| ST | Strobe Input | Watchdog trigger input; falling edge resets 1s timer; failure to strobe causes /WDS assertion. |
| RST | Active-High Reset Output | Primary reset signal asserted high during VCC fault or PBRST event; directly drives microprocessor reset pin. |
| WDS | Watchdog Status Output | Active-low flag indicating watchdog timeout; used to log software hangs or initiate diagnostic routines. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple-Function Supervision | Simultaneous VCC monitoring, pushbutton reset control, and watchdog timing - eliminates need for discrete supervisors, timers, and debounce circuits. |
| Configurable Reset Polarity | DS1706LEPA provides RST (active-high) and /WDS (active-low), enabling direct interface with diverse microprocessor reset architectures. |
| Programmable Voltage Sensing | IN pin accepts externally scaled voltages via resistor divider, allowing precise monitoring of 3.3V, 12V, or other rails upstream of VCC. |
| Noise-Immune NMI Detection | 5μs minimum input hold time and 100μV hysteresis prevent spurious interrupts from power supply ripple or EMI. |
| Industrial Temperature Operation | Guaranteed functionality across -40°C to +85°C without performance degradation or calibration drift. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX706ESA | Pin-compatible 5V ±5% supervisor with /RST (active-low) and /WDS; lacks NMI output and IN sense capability. | Suitable only where early power-fail warning is unnecessary and reset polarity matches /RST-driven MCUs. | Select MAX706ESA if board layout requires active-low reset and NMI functionality is unused. |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | TI device with 3.3V fixed threshold, adjustable watchdog timeout (1.25ms–10s), but no NMI or PBRST support. | Requires external debounce circuitry and cannot provide upstream voltage sensing or early interrupt signaling. | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR only for cost-sensitive 3.3V-only designs lacking NMI/PBRST requirements. |
Compared with MAX706ESA and TPS3808G33DBVR, DS1706LEPA uniquely combines active-high reset, NMI, IN-sense, and PBRST in one 8-pin DIP - enabling full-featured supervision without external components or layout changes.

FAQ
What is the VCC trip point range for DS1706LEPA?
The DS1706LEPA has a guaranteed VCC trip point range of 4.50V to 4.75V at -40°C to +85°C, corresponding to a nominal 5V supply with ±5% tolerance. This specification ensures the device asserts RST before the microprocessor's minimum operating voltage is violated, providing deterministic reset behavior during brownout conditions. The DS1706LEPA's trip point is factory-trimmed and temperature-compensated using an internal bandgap reference.
Does DS1706LEPA support active-high or active-low reset output?
DS1706LEPA provides an active-high reset output (RST) and an active-low watchdog status output (/WDS). Unlike variants such as DS1706EPA (which offers /RST), the DS1706LEPA is specifically configured for RST polarity - making it suitable for microprocessors requiring high-level reset assertion. The RST output remains active for a minimum of 130ms after VCC returns to tolerance, ensuring adequate stabilization time.
How does the NMI function work in DS1706LEPA?
The DS1706LEPA's NMI output pulses low for ≥200μs when the voltage at the IN pin falls below 1.25V (1.20–1.30V range), providing early warning of upstream power degradation. This signal is generated independently of the VCC monitor and features 100μV hysteresis and 5μs noise immunity. NMI can be connected to the microprocessor's non-maskable interrupt pin to initiate controlled shutdown before RST activates, preserving data integrity.
Can DS1706LEPA monitor voltages other than 5V?
Yes, DS1706LEPA can monitor any DC voltage via its high-impedance IN pin using an external resistor divider. Since the IN threshold is fixed at 1.25V, users select R1 and R2 values to scale higher voltages (e.g., 12V, 24V) down to 1.25V at the pin. The datasheet provides the equation VSENSE = (R2/(R1+R2)) × 1.25V and confirms operation up to VMAX = (VSENSE/VTP) × VCC, enabling flexible upstream supply monitoring beyond the 5V VCC rail.
Is DS1706LEPA pin-compatible with other MicroMonitor devices?
Yes, DS1706LEPA is pin-compatible with the MAX705/MAX706 family in 8-pin DIP, SOIC, and μSOP packages. Its pinout matches DS1705/DS1706 variants including DS1706EPA and DS1706ESA, allowing drop-in replacement where RST polarity and 5V ±5% trip point meet design requirements. However, functional differences exist - e.g., DS1706LEPA includes NMI and IN sense, while MAX706 lacks NMI - so system-level validation is required.
