Product details
Overview
DS1706REPA from Maxim Integrated is a 3.3V ±20% precision voltage supervisor IC with active-low reset (/RST), watchdog status output (/WDS), non-maskable interrupt (NMI), and pushbutton reset debouncing - designed to halt and restart microprocessors during power transients or software faults in industrial embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the DS1706REPA datasheet, DS1706REPA pinout, DS1706REPA application, or DS1706REPA equivalent, this device delivers confirmed 130 ms minimum reset pulse width, 1.0 s watchdog timeout, 1.25 V IN-pin trip point, -40°C to +85°C operation, and pin compatibility with MAX705/MAX706 for drop-in replacement in legacy 3.3V microcontroller monitoring designs.
Technical Context
The DS1706REPA integrates three independent monitoring functions: (1) VCC supply supervision with 3.3V ±20% trip point (VCCTP = 2.55–2.70 V), (2) external voltage sensing via high-impedance IN pin referenced to 1.25 V internal bandgap, and (3) watchdog timer triggered by ST input with 1.0–2.2 s timeout and 130 ms /WDS active-low pulse on timeout.
Its reset logic asserts /RST low for ≥130 ms on power-up or VCC dropout, while NMI provides early warning of supply decay with 200 µs pulse and 100 µV hysteresis; PBRST input is internally pulled up (40 kΩ typical) and debounced to guarantee ≥130 ms /RST pulse upon button release.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Trip Point | 2.55–2.70 V (3.3V ±20% tolerance; enables reliable reset assertion for 3.0V system rails) |
| Reset Pulse Width | ≥130 ms (ensures full microprocessor stabilization after power recovery or pushbutton event) |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.0–2.2 s (configurable via ST strobe frequency; guarantees firmware liveliness detection) |
| IN Pin Trip Voltage | 1.20–1.30 V (precision bandgap-referenced sense point for custom upstream voltage monitoring) |
| Operating Temp Range | -40°C to +85°C (supports industrial-grade deployment without derating) |
| Supply Current | 50 µA @ VCC < 3.6 V (ultra-low quiescent current preserves battery or standby power) |
| NMI Pulse Width | ≥200 µs (provides sufficient timing margin for interrupt service routine entry) |
Pinout & Package
DS1706REPA is housed in an 8-pin plastic DIP (300-mil) package with through-hole mounting and industrial temperature rating (-40°C to +85°C).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PBRST | Pushbutton Reset Input | Active-low, internally pulled up (40 kΩ); debounced to generate ≥130 ms /RST pulse on release |
| VCC | Power Supply Input | Primary 3.3V supply rail; monitored for ±20% dropout and used as reference for all I/O thresholds |
| GND | Ground Reference | System ground return path for all internal comparators, timers, and outputs |
| IN | External Voltage Sense Input | High-impedance (≤1 µA leakage) input referenced to 1.25 V internal bandgap; supports resistor-divider monitoring of higher-voltage rails |
| NMI | Non-Maskable Interrupt Output | Open-drain, active-low pulse (≥200 µs) signaling early power failure at upstream sense point |
| ST | Watchdog Strobe Input | Active-low input (internally pulled up 180 kΩ); reset watchdog timer on each falling edge; timeout if no edge within 1.0–2.2 s |
| RST | Active-Low Reset Output | Open-drain, active-low reset signal asserted ≥130 ms on power-up, VCC dropout, or PBRST event |
| WDS | Watchdog Status Output | Open-drain, active-low signal pulsed ≥130 ms when watchdog times out due to missing ST strobes |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple-Function Supervision | Simultaneous VCC monitoring, external voltage sensing (IN), and watchdog timer (ST/WDS) in single 8-pin IC |
| Guaranteed Reset Timing | 130 ms minimum /RST assertion ensures robust microprocessor initialization across temperature and supply variations |
| Configurable Watchdog | 1.0–2.2 s timeout window allows tuning to firmware execution cycles without external components |
| Early Power-Fail Warning | NMI output provides 200 µs interrupt before /RST activation, enabling controlled data save or state preservation |
| Pushbutton Debounce | Hardware-based PBRST debouncing eliminates need for external RC networks or firmware polling |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervision applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX706ESA | 5V ±10% VCC trip (4.25–4.50 V); no IN pin; identical /RST, /WDS, NMI, ST, PBRST pinout and timing | Designed for 5V systems only; lacks external voltage sensing capability | Select for 5V-only designs where upstream rail monitoring is unnecessary and MAX706 footprint is required |
| TPS3808G18DBVR | 3.3V ±2% trip (3.23–3.37 V); fixed 200 ms reset delay; no NMI or watchdog; SOT-23-6 package | Single-function reset IC; no early warning or firmware liveliness checking | Choose when only precise power-on reset is needed and board space is constrained; not suitable for watchdog/NMI use cases |
Compared with MAX706ESA and TPS3808G18DBVR, DS1706REPA uniquely combines 3.3V ±20% supervision, hardware watchdog, NMI early warning, and external voltage sensing in one 8-pin DIP - making it irreplaceable for safety-critical industrial systems requiring layered fault detection.

FAQ
What is the exact VCC trip point range for DS1706REPA?
The DS1706REPA has a guaranteed VCC trip point of 2.55 V (min) to 2.70 V (max), corresponding to 3.3V ±20% tolerance. This range is validated across -40°C to +85°C and ensures reliable reset assertion when the 3.3V supply drops below 2.55 V. The DS1706REPA datasheet specifies VCCTP = 2.55/2.63/2.70 V (min/typ/max) under recommended operating conditions.
Does DS1706REPA support external voltage monitoring beyond its VCC pin?
Yes, DS1706REPA supports external voltage monitoring via its IN pin, which triggers NMI when the sensed voltage crosses 1.25 V (1.20–1.30 V range). Using an external resistor divider, users can monitor higher-voltage rails (e.g., 5V, 12V) upstream of the 3.3V regulator. The DS1706REPA's high-impedance IN input (≤1 µA leakage) minimizes loading on the divider network.
What is the watchdog timeout behavior of DS1706REPA?
The DS1706REPA watchdog timer times out between 1.0 s (min) and 2.2 s (max) if the ST input is not strobed low before expiration. Upon timeout, DS1706REPA drives /WDS low for ≥130 ms. The timer resets on each ST falling edge and begins timing anew - enabling firmware to maintain watchdog health by strobing ST at intervals shorter than 1.0 s.
Is DS1706REPA pin-compatible with MAX705/MAX706 devices?
Yes, DS1706REPA is pin-compatible with MAX705 and MAX706 in 8-pin DIP, SOIC, and µSOP packages. All signal names (PBRST, VCC, GND, IN, NMI, ST, RST, WDS), pin positions, and electrical behaviors match. This allows direct substitution in existing MAX705/MAX706 layouts without PCB changes, provided the 3.3V ±20% trip point meets system requirements.
How does DS1706REPA handle pushbutton reset events?
DS1706REPA debounces the PBRST input internally and guarantees a /RST pulse width of ≥130 ms upon button release. PBRST is active-low and internally pulled up (40 kΩ typical). The DS1706REPA timing specification tPDLY = 250 ns ensures minimal propagation delay from PBRST release to /RST assertion, eliminating need for external RC filtering or firmware debounce routines.
