Product details
Overview
DS1706REPA+ from Maxim Integrated is a 3.3V ±20% precision voltage supervisor IC with watchdog timer, non-maskable interrupt (NMI), and pushbutton reset control - designed to halt and restart out-of-control microprocessors during power transients or software faults in industrial embedded systems. It delivers 130 ms minimum active-low reset pulse width, 1.0 s watchdog timeout, and operates across -40°C to +85°C.
For engineers reviewing the DS1706REPA+ datasheet, DS1706REPA+ pinout, DS1706REPA+ application, or DS1706REPA+ equivalent, key selection criteria include VCC trip point (2.55–2.70 V), /RST and /WDS active-low outputs, PBRST debounced input, NMI early-warning capability, and compatibility with 3.0V system rails using 20% tolerance monitoring.
Technical Context
The DS1706REPA+ integrates three independent supervision functions: (1) VCC monitoring with factory-trimmed 2.63 V typical trip point and hysteresis for reliable power-fail detection; (2) a 1-second watchdog timer triggered by ST strobe input, asserting /WDS on timeout; and (3) NMI generation at IN pin when monitored supply falls below 1.25 V reference, enabling early system shutdown before reset activation.
Its dual-reset architecture supports both /RST (active-low) and optional RST (active-high) variants (not present on DS1706REPA+), while internal 40 kΩ pull-up on PBRST and 180 kΩ pull-up on ST simplify external circuitry. All timing parameters - including 130 ms reset hold time and 200 µs NMI pulse width - are guaranteed over full temperature and voltage range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Trip Point | 2.55–2.70 V (factory-trimmed for 3.3V ±20% systems; enables use with 3.0V rails) |
| Reset Pulse Width | 130–285 ms (guaranteed minimum ensures stable processor boot after power recovery) |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.0–2.2 s (configurable via ST strobe frequency; prevents runaway code execution) |
| NMI Pulse Width | ≥200 µs (provides deterministic early warning before reset assertion) |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C (supports industrial-grade reliability without derating) |
| Supply Current | 60 µA max (ultra-low ICC enables battery-backed or energy-sensitive designs) |
| IN Trip Reference | 1.20–1.30 V (precision bandgap-based sense threshold for external voltage monitoring) |
Pinout & Package
DS1706REPA+ is housed in an 8-pin plastic DIP (300-mil) package with through-hole mounting and industry-standard footprint. Pin assignments are fully validated per Maxim's mechanical drawings and functional test reports.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PBRST | Pushbutton Reset Input | Active-low, internally pulled up to VCC (40 kΩ); debounced and timed to generate ≥130 ms /RST pulse on release |
| VCC | Power Supply | Primary supply input (1.2–5.5 V); powers all internal circuits and defines trip thresholds |
| GND | Ground Reference | System ground return path for all analog and digital functions |
| IN | External Voltage Sense Input | High-impedance comparator input referenced to 1.25 V; used to monitor upstream supplies via resistor divider |
| NMI | Non-Maskable Interrupt Output | Active-low open-drain output; pulses ≥200 µs when IN falls below trip point |
| ST | Strobe Input | Active-low watchdog trigger; internal 180 kΩ pull-up; must be toggled ≤1 s to prevent /WDS assertion |
| RST | Active-Low Reset Output | Open-drain /RST output; held active ≥130 ms after VCC recovery or PBRST release |
| WDS | Watchdog Status Output | Active-low open-drain output; asserted for ≥130 ms if ST not strobed within timeout window |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 3.3V ±20% VCC Monitoring | Enables robust operation with 3.0V nominal rails while tolerating wide supply variation without external components |
| Guaranteed 130 ms Reset Hold Time | Ensures microprocessor completes power stabilization and internal initialization before release from reset |
| Dual Supervision Paths (VCC + IN) | Allows simultaneous monitoring of local VCC and upstream supply rail for layered fault detection and graceful shutdown |
| Integrated Watchdog Timer | Eliminates need for discrete RC timing or external watchdog ICs; reduces BOM count and board space |
| Debounced Pushbutton Interface | Removes mechanical switch bounce and guarantees consistent reset pulse width regardless of button press duration |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervision and watchdog applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX706ESA+ | 5.0V ±10% trip point (4.50 V typ); no IN sense input; identical /RST, /WDS, PBRST, ST pinout | Designed for 5V systems only; lacks external voltage monitoring capability via IN pin | Select MAX706ESA+ only when supervising 5V rails and external supply sensing is unnecessary |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V ±2% accuracy (tighter tolerance); fixed 200 ms reset delay; no NMI or ST watchdog inputs | Single-function reset IC without watchdog or early-warning interrupt; lower quiescent current (1.1 µA) | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR for cost-sensitive, low-power 3.3V applications where watchdog/NMI features are unused |

FAQ
What is the exact VCC trip point range for DS1706REPA+?
The DS1706REPA+ has a guaranteed VCC trip point range of 2.55 V to 2.70 V, with a typical value of 2.63 V. This 3.3V ±20% specification allows reliable operation with 3.0V nominal supply rails and accommodates manufacturing tolerances and temperature drift across the full -40°C to +85°C range. The DS1706REPA+ datasheet confirms this range under DC Electrical Characteristics.
Does DS1706REPA+ provide both active-high and active-low reset outputs?
No, DS1706REPA+ provides only an active-low reset output (/RST). The "R" suffix in DS1706REPA+ denotes the /RST variant; active-high RST output is available only on DS1706LEPA+, DS1706PEPA+, and other "L" or "P" variants. Pin 7 of DS1706REPA+ is dedicated to /RST, and no RST signal is present on this part.
How does the watchdog timer in DS1706REPA+ function, and what is its timeout period?
The DS1706REPA+ watchdog timer starts counting after /RST becomes inactive and times out if the ST input is not strobed low within 1.0 to 2.2 seconds. Upon timeout, the /WDS output is asserted low for ≥130 ms. The ST input is internally pulled up to VCC (180 kΩ), and each high-to-low transition resets the timer. This behavior is verified in the AC Electrical Characteristics table and timing diagrams of the DS1706REPA+ datasheet.
Can DS1706REPA+ monitor voltages other than VCC, and how is that implemented?
Yes, DS1706REPA+ can monitor external voltages via the IN pin, which compares the applied voltage against a precise 1.25 V internal reference. A resistor divider scales higher voltages (e.g., 12V, 24V) down to the 1.20–1.30 V trip window. The DS1706REPA+ datasheet provides the calculation formula and example design in Figure 5, confirming IN's role in upstream supply monitoring for early-warning NMI generation.
Is DS1706REPA+ pin-compatible with other members of the DS1705/DS1706 family?
Yes, DS1706REPA+ is pin-compatible with all 8-pin DIP variants in the DS1705/DS1706 family, including DS1705EPA+, DS1706EPA+, and DS1706LEPA+. Pin assignments for PBRST, VCC, GND, IN, NMI, ST, /RST, and /WDS are identical across these parts. This compatibility is explicitly stated in the "Pin-Compatible with MAX705/MAX706" feature and confirmed in the Pin Assignment diagram for DS1705/DS1706_R/S/T.
