Product details
Overview
DS1706SESA/T&R from Maxim Integrated is a 3.3V ±10% supply voltage supervisor IC with active-low reset output, watchdog timer, non-maskable interrupt, and pushbutton reset control - designed for microprocessor system monitoring in industrial embedded applications requiring reliable power-up/power-down sequencing and fault recovery.
For engineers reviewing the DS1706SESA/T&R datasheet, DS1706SESA/T&R pinout, DS1706SESA/T&R application, or DS1706SESA/T&R equivalent, key selection considerations include VCC trip point (2.85–3.00 V), 130 ms minimum reset pulse width, 1 s watchdog timeout, NMI early-warning capability, and SOIC-8 package compatibility with legacy MAX705/MAX706 designs.
Technical Context
The DS1706SESA/T&R integrates three independent monitoring functions: precision VCC detection using an internal bandgap reference (VTP = 1.25 V), debounced pushbutton reset with guaranteed 130 ms active-low RST pulse, and a 1 s watchdog timer triggered by ST input strobing. All functions operate across –40°C to +85°C.
It features dual reset outputs (RST active-low only, no *RST), IN pin for external voltage sensing with 100 µV hysteresis, and WDS open-drain status output. The device draws ≤50 µA at VCC < 3.6 V and supports VCC from 1.2 V to 5.5 V, enabling use in mixed-voltage systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Trip Point | 2.85–3.00 V (±10% tolerance for 3.3 V nominal; ensures reset assertion before processor brownout) |
| Reset Pulse Width | 130–285 ms (guaranteed minimum stabilizes CPU and peripherals during power recovery) |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.0–2.2 s (detects software hang; requires ST strobe before expiry to avoid WDS activation) |
| NMI Response Delay | 5–8 µs (early warning of supply decay at IN pin; enables controlled shutdown before RST asserts) |
| Supply Current | ≤50 µA at VCC < 3.6 V (ultra-low quiescent current preserves battery life in always-on systems) |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C (industrial-grade thermal range for factory automation and outdoor equipment) |
Pinout & Package
DS1706SESA/T&R is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (150-mil) surface-mount package with standard JEDEC MS-012AC footprint and 1.27 mm pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PBRST | Pushbutton Reset Input | Active-low, internally pulled up (40 kΩ typical); debounced to generate ≥130 ms RST pulse on release |
| VCC | Power Supply Input | Primary supply rail (1.2–5.5 V); powers all internal circuits and sets reference thresholds |
| GND | Ground Reference | System ground return path; required for accurate comparator operation and noise immunity |
| IN | External Voltage Sense Input | High-impedance (≤1 µA leakage); monitors upstream supply via resistor divider; trip at 1.25 V |
| NMI | Non-Maskable Interrupt Output | Open-drain, active-low; pulses ≥200 µs when IN falls below VTP; provides early power-fail warning |
| ST | Watchdog Strobe Input | Active-low, internally pulled up (180 kΩ typical); must be toggled every ≤1 s to prevent WDS assertion |
| RST | Reset Output | Active-low, open-drain; held low ≥130 ms after VCC rises above trip point or PBRST release |
| WDS | Watchdog Status Output | Open-drain, active-low; asserts for ≥130 ms if ST not strobed within watchdog timeout window |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple-monitor architecture | Simultaneous VCC supervision, pushbutton reset, and watchdog timer eliminate need for discrete supervisors |
| VCC trip accuracy | ±10% over temperature ensures robust reset timing across industrial operating range without calibration |
| Early-warning NMI | 1.25 V IN threshold with 100 µV hysteresis enables predictive shutdown before critical brownout occurs |
| Guaranteed reset timing | 130 ms minimum RST pulse width meets Intel/ARM reset specification requirements for stable boot |
| Pin-compatible upgrade | SOIC-8 footprint matches MAX705/MAX706; allows drop-in replacement without PCB redesign |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX706TESA+ | Same 3.3 V ±5% trip point, identical SOIC-8 package, but lacks NMI output and has fixed 200 ms reset timeout | No early-warning interrupt capability; unsuitable where predictive shutdown is required | Select MAX706TESA+ only if NMI is unused and tighter trip tolerance (±5%) is prioritized over fault diagnostics |
| TPS3808G12DBVR | TI part with adjustable reset threshold (via external resistor), 3.3 V ±10% default, but no watchdog or NMI functions | Requires external circuitry for pushbutton debounce and software hang detection | Choose TPS3808G12DBVR when board space permits discrete watchdog implementation and flexible threshold tuning is needed |
Compared with DS1706SESA/T&R, MAX706TESA+ offers higher trip accuracy but removes NMI-based system-level fault response, while TPS3808G12DBVR trades integrated watchdog/NMI for threshold flexibility-making DS1706SESA/T&R optimal for compact, self-contained microprocessor supervision where all three functions are concurrently required.

FAQ
What is the exact VCC trip point range for DS1706SESA/T&R?
The DS1706SESA/T&R has a guaranteed VCC trip point range of 2.85 V to 3.00 V, corresponding to ±10% tolerance around a nominal 3.3 V supply. This specification is validated across the full –40°C to +85°C operating temperature range and ensures reset assertion occurs before most 3.3 V microprocessors enter undefined operation. The DS1706SESA/T&R uses an internal bandgap reference to maintain this accuracy without external components.
Does DS1706SESA/T&R provide both active-high and active-low reset outputs?
No, DS1706SESA/T&R provides only an active-low reset output (RST). Unlike variants such as DS1706LESA (which offers RST) or DS1706PESA (which offers RST), the DS1706SESA/T&R variant is specified exclusively with /RST (active-low) and /WDS outputs. This configuration aligns with common microcontroller reset input requirements and simplifies interface design in systems where active-low assertion is standard.
How does the watchdog timer in DS1706SESA/T&R function, and what is its timeout window?
The DS1706SESA/T&R watchdog timer activates when the ST (strobe) input is not driven low within 1.0–2.2 seconds. Upon timeout, WDS asserts low for ≥130 ms. The timer starts counting after RST becomes inactive, and each ST falling edge resets the counter. This mechanism detects firmware hangs in microcontrollers where ST is tied to address/data/control lines that toggle during normal execution - a feature confirmed in the DS1706SESA/T&R functional description and timing diagrams.
Can DS1706SESA/T&R monitor voltages other than VCC, and how is that implemented?
Yes, DS1706SESA/T&R can monitor external voltages via the IN pin, which compares an externally divided voltage against an internal 1.25 V reference. A resistor divider (e.g., R1/R2) scales higher supply rails (up to 11.88 V at VCC = 3.3 V) to the 1.25 V trip point. This allows early detection of upstream power degradation - a capability explicitly documented in the DS1706SESA/T&R application circuit examples and electrical characteristics table.
Is DS1706SESA/T&R pin-compatible with the MAX705/MAX706 series, and which packages match?
Yes, DS1706SESA/T&R is pin-compatible with the MAX705/MAX706 in the 8-pin SOIC (150-mil) package, as confirmed in the "Pin-compatible with the MAXIM MAX705/MAX706" feature statement and mechanical drawings. It shares identical pin assignments (PBRST, VCC, GND, IN, NMI, ST, RST, WDS) and electrical drive characteristics, enabling direct substitution without layout changes - a key design advantage highlighted in the DS1706SESA/T&R ordering information and pin assignment section.
