Product details
Overview
MAX6702ALKA+T from Maxim Integrated is an active-high push-pull microprocessor supervisory IC designed for triple-voltage monitoring in embedded systems. It monitors VCC, RST_IN1, and RST_IN2 with a 2.93V fixed VCC reset threshold (S-suffix), provides 140ms reset timeout, independent watchdog output (WDO), and power-fail comparator (PFI/PFO) - used in white goods power sequencing and telecom baseband controllers.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6702ALKA+T datasheet, MAX6702ALKA+T pinout, MAX6702ALKA+T application, or MAX6702ALKA+T equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, exact SOT23-8 pin mapping, confirmed triple-supply supervision capability, guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 1V, and real-world alternative part guidance for industrial µP reset design.
Technical Context
The MAX6702ALKA+T implements three independent voltage comparators: one fixed-threshold monitor on VCC (2.93V), plus two user-adjustable inputs (RST_IN1/RST_IN2) referenced to 0.62V internal reference. Reset assertion occurs if any monitored supply falls below its threshold, and the active-high RESET output remains asserted for ≥140ms after all supplies recover.
Its watchdog circuit features a 1.6s timeout period (typ), with WDO asserting low on timeout or undervoltage; WDO deasserts immediately upon valid WDI edge or MR pull-low - distinct from non-A versions where WDO latches. The PFI/PFO comparator operates independently with <1µs propagation delay and 6mV hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Reset Threshold | 2.93V (S-suffix), ±3% over -40°C to +125°C - sets primary µP reset point for +3.0V/3.3V I/O rails |
| Reset Timeout Period | 140ms minimum - ensures reliable µP initialization before code execution begins |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6s typical - provides fail-safe recovery window for firmware hang detection |
| Power-Fail Threshold | 0.62V internal reference - enables precise early-warning detection of secondary supply collapse via external resistor divider |
| Supply Current | 9–20µA at VCC < 3.6V - supports always-on supervision in battery-backed or low-power systems |
| Operating Voltage Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - guarantees RESET assertion integrity even during deep brownout conditions |
| Reset Output Type | Active-high push-pull - drives µP reset pin directly without external pull-up; sinks 1.2mA at VCC ≥ 2.55V |
Pinout & Package
MAX6702ALKA+T is housed in an 8-pin SOT23 package (package code K8+2), RoHS-compliant, with 0.65mm pitch and thermal pad omitted. Pin 1 is MR (manual reset input), pin 2 is VCC, pin 3 is GND, pin 4 is PFI, pin 5 is PFO, pin 6 is WDI, pin 7 is RESET (active-high push-pull), and pin 8 is WDO (active-low push-pull).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - MR | Active-low manual reset input | CMOS-compatible; internal 50kΩ pullup to VCC; forces RESET high when pulled low; debounces pushbutton switches |
| 2 - VCC | Main supply and primary reset monitor input | Powers internal circuitry and provides reference for fixed-threshold reset detection at 2.93V |
| 3 - GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all analog comparators and digital outputs; must be low-impedance |
| 4 - PFI | Power-fail input | High-impedance node tied to 0.62V internal reference; accepts external voltage divider for secondary supply monitoring |
| 5 - PFO | Power-fail output | Active-low push-pull output; asserts when PFI < 0.62V - used to trigger orderly shutdown or interrupt µP |
| 6 - WDI | Watchdog input | Edge-sensitive; clears watchdog timer on rising or falling transition; minimum pulse width 50ns |
| 7 - RESET | Active-high reset output | Push-pull driver; goes high when VCC/RST_IN1/RST_IN2 > thresholds; remains high for ≥140ms after recovery |
| 8 - WDO | Watchdog output | Active-low push-pull; asserts on watchdog timeout or undervoltage; deasserts immediately on WDI edge or MR low |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple-voltage supervision | Simultaneously monitors VCC (2.93V fixed), RST_IN1, and RST_IN2 (both adjustable via 0.62V reference) - eliminates need for three discrete supervisors |
| Guaranteed reset validity to VCC = 1V | Ensures deterministic reset behavior during severe brownout or battery depletion - critical for automotive and industrial control |
| Independent watchdog output (WDO) | Separate WDO signal allows NMI-based fault logging without interfering with main RESET timing or µP boot sequence |
| Immunity to short VCC transients | Rejects <100ns glitches on VCC - prevents spurious resets in noisy power environments like motor drives or SMPS feedback loops |
| Low quiescent current (9µA typ) | Enables permanent connection to backup rails in smart meters or IoT edge nodes without compromising battery life |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6702MKA+T | 4.38V VCC reset threshold (M-suffix); same pinout, timing, and feature set | Designed for +5.0V/4.5V systems instead of +3.0V/3.3V rails | Select when primary supply is 4.5–5.0V and 2.93V threshold is too low for reliable margin |
| MAX6706AKA+T | Same S-suffix threshold (2.93V), but active-high push-pull RESET and independent PFI/PFO - no RST_IN1/RST_IN2 inputs | Single-supply supervision only; lacks triple-voltage capability of MAX6702ALKA+T | Choose for cost-sensitive designs where only VCC monitoring is required and space is constrained |
Compared with MAX6702MKA+T, MAX6702ALKA+T provides tighter voltage margin for 3.3V systems; compared with MAX6706AKA+T, it adds dual adjustable inputs for multi-rail validation - essential for complex industrial controllers requiring full power-domain visibility.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for MAX6702ALKA+T?
The MAX6702ALKA+T has a nominal VCC reset threshold of 2.93V (S-suffix), with guaranteed tolerance of ±3% over -40°C to +125°C. This value is factory-trimmed and specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "VCC Reset Threshold" for MAX670_S/MAX670_AS variants. It applies exclusively to the VCC pin; RST_IN1 and RST_IN2 use the internal 0.62V reference for user-defined thresholds.
Does MAX6702ALKA+T support triple-voltage monitoring?
Yes, MAX6702ALKA+T supports triple-voltage monitoring: VCC (2.93V fixed threshold), RST_IN1, and RST_IN2. Both RST_IN1 and RST_IN2 are high-impedance inputs referenced to the internal 0.62V comparator threshold - enabling external resistor dividers to set custom trip points for secondary supplies like +1.8V or +2.5V rails.
What is the function of the WDO pin on MAX6702ALKA+T?
The WDO pin on MAX6702ALKA+T is an active-low watchdog output that asserts low on watchdog timeout (1.6s typ), VCC undervoltage, or RST_IN1/RST_IN2 undervoltage. Unlike non-A versions, WDO deasserts immediately upon a valid WDI edge or MR pull-low - making it suitable for NMI-triggered diagnostics without latch-up risk.
Can MAX6702ALKA+T operate down to 1.0V supply voltage?
Yes, MAX6702ALKA+T guarantees RESET output validity down to VCC = 1.0V. At VCC ≥ 1.0V, the active-high RESET output maintains VOH ≥ 0.8 × VCC when not asserted and VOL ≤ 0.4V when asserted - ensuring robust interface with ultra-low-voltage µPs and FPGAs during brownout recovery.
How does the power-fail comparator work on MAX6702ALKA+T?
The power-fail comparator in MAX6702ALKA+T uses PFI (input) and PFO (output) with an internal 0.62V reference. When voltage at PFI drops below 0.62V - set by an external resistor divider on a secondary supply - PFO asserts low within 1µs. This enables early warning of supply collapse, allowing µPs to save state or disable loads before main VCC fails.
