Product details
Overview
DS1706LESA+ from Maxim Integrated is a 5V ±5% microprocessor supervisory circuit that monitors VCC, provides pushbutton reset control, and implements a 1-second watchdog timer with NMI early-warning interrupt. It delivers active-high RST output and active-low WDS status signal in an 8-pin SOIC package, operating across -40°C to +85°C for industrial embedded systems requiring reliable power-up sequencing and fault recovery.
For engineers reviewing the DS1706LESA+ datasheet, DS1706LESA+ pinout, DS1706LESA+ application, or DS1706LESA+ equivalent, this page details its precise reset threshold (4.65 V typ), 130 ms minimum reset pulse width, watchdog timeout (1.0–2.2 s), non-maskable interrupt response (<8 µs), and compatibility with 3.3V/5V microcontroller power domains.
Technical Context
The DS1706LESA+ integrates three independent monitoring functions: precision VCC detection using an internal bandgap reference (1.25 V trip point at IN), debounced pushbutton reset with guaranteed 130 ms active pulse, and a self-resetting watchdog timer triggered by ST input transitions. Its RST output is active-high, distinguishing it from /RST variants.
It supports dual-supply monitoring via high-impedance IN pin (1.20–1.30 V trip) with external resistor divider, enabling early power-fail detection upstream of the processor. The NMI output pulses low for ≥200 µs with 100 µV hysteresis and noise immunity against <2 µs glitches.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Trip Point | 4.65 V typical (±5% tolerance); ensures reset assertion before 5V supply drops below 4.4 V, protecting CPU operation |
| Reset Pulse Width | 130–285 ms minimum; guarantees sufficient time for power stabilization and processor initialization |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.0–2.2 s; detects software lockup if ST strobe is not toggled within this window |
| NMI Response Time | 5–8 µs from IN voltage drop; enables early system shutdown before VCC collapse |
| Operating Current | 60 µA max at VCC < 5.5 V; minimizes quiescent load on battery-backed or low-power systems |
| Temperature Range | -40°C to +85°C; qualified for industrial-grade reliability without derating |
Pinout & Package
DS1706LESA+ is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (150-mil) package, RoHS-compliant and lead-free, with standard JEDEC MS-012AC footprint and 1.27 mm pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PBRST | Pushbutton Reset Input | Active-low debounced input; initiates 130 ms RST pulse on release, compatible with mechanical switches or NMI/WDS feedback |
| VCC | Power Supply | Primary 3.3V or 5.0V supply input; powers internal comparators, timer, and outputs |
| GND | Ground Reference | System ground return for all analog and digital circuitry; must be low-impedance |
| IN | Voltage Sense Input | High-impedance monitor point for external supply; sets NMI trip at 1.25 V via resistor divider |
| NMI | Non-Maskable Interrupt Output | Open-drain, active-low pulse (≥200 µs); signals imminent power failure to CPU before reset |
| ST | Strobe Input | Watchdog trigger; requires high-to-low transition every ≤1 second to prevent WDS activation |
| RST | Active-High Reset Output | CMOS-compatible, active-high reset signal; directly drives microprocessor reset pin |
| WDS | Watchdog Status Output | Open-drain, active-low status flag; asserts when watchdog times out, indicating firmware hang |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple-function supervision | Simultaneous VCC monitoring, pushbutton reset, and watchdog timer eliminate need for discrete supervisors or timers |
| Configurable reset polarity | RST output is active-high (not /RST), simplifying interface with processors requiring high-asserted reset |
| Early-warning NMI | Independent 1.25 V sense input enables system-level shutdown before brownout-induced corruption |
| Guaranteed reset timing | 130 ms minimum RST pulse ensures robust power-up sequencing even under slow-rising VCC |
| Pin-compatible upgrade path | Direct replacement for MAX705/MAX706 in same SOIC footprint, easing legacy design migration |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Controller | Medical Diagnostic Device |
|---|---|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervisory IC providing VCC brownout detection, watchdog-triggered fail-safe shutdown, and hardware reset coordination during power cycling. Use Value: Prevents corrupted I/O state or firmware crash during voltage sags; NMI allows controlled data save before RST assertion. | Use Scenario: Portable ultrasound or ECG unit powered by Li-ion battery with regulated 3.3V/5V rails and strict safety-critical boot integrity requirements. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Power-on reset generator and runtime watchdog enforcing deterministic boot sequence and detecting firmware hangs during signal processing. Use Value: 130 ms RST pulse ensures full ADC/DAC initialization; WDS flag triggers audible alarm and safe mode entry upon timeout. |
| Telecom Base Station Card | Automotive Infotainment Head Unit |
Use Scenario: Hot-swappable line card in carrier-grade telecom equipment requiring graceful reset after power interruption or software update rollback. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: System supervisor managing coordinated reset of FPGA, DSP, and memory subsystems via RST, while NMI alerts management CPU of upstream supply degradation. Use Value: Dual-monitoring (VCC + IN) detects both local rail collapse and backplane voltage droop, enabling predictive maintenance alerts. | Use Scenario: In-vehicle infotainment system with multi-core SoC, CAN bus, and display controller exposed to automotive battery fluctuations (9–16 V). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary reset controller interfacing with SoC reset pin and feeding ST signal from GPIO to detect OS-level freezes. Use Value: Active-high RST matches most automotive SoCs; 1.0 s watchdog timeout aligns with Linux kernel watchdog daemon polling intervals. |
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 8-pin SOIC package; /RST (active-low) output instead of RST (active-high); 4.40 V VCC trip (10% tolerance) | Requires level-shifting or SoC reset pin compatibility check; suited for designs already using /RST logic | Select MAX706ESA+ only if active-low reset is required and tolerance budget allows 4.25–4.50 V trip |
| TPS3808G18DBVR | TI device with adjustable reset threshold (via external resistor), 200 ms reset delay, no NMI or watchdog; SOT-23-6 package | Lacks NMI early warning and watchdog functionality; smaller footprint but single-function scope | Choose TPS3808G18DBVR for cost-sensitive, space-constrained designs where only basic reset is needed |
Compared with MAX706ESA+, DS1706LESA+ offers tighter 5% tolerance and active-high reset; versus TPS3808G18DBVR, it provides integrated watchdog and NMI-critical for safety-aware or autonomous-recovery systems.

FAQ
What is the exact VCC reset threshold voltage for DS1706LESA+?
The DS1706LESA+ has a nominal VCC trip point of 4.65 V, with guaranteed range 4.50 V to 4.75 V (±5% tolerance). This value is specified at TA = -40°C to +85°C and defines the voltage at which the RST output asserts high. It is calibrated for 5.0V systems and remains stable over temperature due to internal bandgap compensation. DS1706LESA+ does not support 3.3V nominal monitoring - that function is handled by DS1706P/DS1706T variants.
Does DS1706LESA+ provide both active-high and active-low reset outputs?
No, DS1706LESA+ provides only an active-high RST output. The "L" suffix in DS1706LESA+ explicitly denotes the active-high reset version. Devices with /RST (active-low) output carry different suffixes such as DS1706ESA+. DS1706LESA+ does not include a complementary /RST pin; its RST pin is CMOS-compatible and drives high during reset assertion.
How does the watchdog timer in DS1706LESA+ operate, and what is its timeout window?
The DS1706LESA+ watchdog timer starts counting after RST goes inactive and requires a high-to-low transition on the ST pin at least once every 1.0 to 2.2 seconds. If no ST edge occurs within that window, WDS pulls low for ≥130 ms. The timeout is factory-trimmed and tested at 2.7V for 3.3V devices and 4.5V for 5.0V devices. DS1706LESA+ uses a fixed timeout - no external capacitor or resistor adjusts it.
Can DS1706LESA+ monitor a 3.3V supply, or is it limited to 5V systems?
DS1706LESA+ is specified for 5.0V systems with ±5% tolerance (4.50–4.75 V trip), and its VCC pin accepts 1.2V to 5.5V. While it can be powered from a 3.3V rail, it will not assert reset until VCC falls below ~4.5V - making it unsuitable for direct 3.3V supply monitoring. For 3.3V supervision, use DS1706PESA+ (3.3V ±20%) or DS1706TESA+ (3.3V ±5%). DS1706LESA+'s IN pin can monitor a separate 3.3V rail via resistor divider, but VCC itself must be ≥4.5V to avoid spurious reset.
Is DS1706LESA+ pin-compatible with the MAX706, and what are the key interface differences?
Yes, DS1706LESA+ is pin-compatible with MAX706 in 8-pin SOIC (S8-2) package per manufacturer documentation. Key interface differences include: DS1706LESA+ outputs active-high RST (MAX706 outputs /RST), DS1706LESA+ has identical pinout but different reset polarity logic, and DS1706LESA+ offers tighter 5% tolerance vs. MAX706's 10%. No PCB changes are required for drop-in replacement if the host system accepts active-high reset.
