Product details
Overview
MAX6702MKA+ 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 fixed 4.38V reset threshold (M-suffix), provides 140ms reset timeout, independent watchdog output (WDO), manual reset input (MR), and power-fail comparator (PFI/PFO). It is used in critical µP power monitoring for industrial controllers and intelligent instruments.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6702MKA+ datasheet, MAX6702MKA+ pinout, MAX6702MKA+ application, or MAX6702MKA+ 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 comparisons for voltage supervisor selection.
Technical Context
The MAX6702MKA+ implements a triple-threshold supervision architecture: one fixed VCC monitor (4.38V) plus two user-adjustable inputs (RST_IN1/RST_IN2) referenced to 0.62V internal bandgap. Reset assertion occurs if any monitored supply falls below its threshold, with a guaranteed 140ms minimum timeout after recovery.
Its watchdog timer has a 1.6s timeout period and independent WDO output that asserts low on timeout or undervoltage; WDO deasserts immediately upon valid WDI edge or MR pull-low (A-version behavior). The PFI/PFO comparator operates down to 0.62V with 6mV hysteresis and supports early power-fail warning via external resistor divider.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.38V (M-suffix), ±3% over -40°C to +125°C - ensures reliable reset initiation for +5V/3.3V system rails |
| Reset Timeout Period | 140ms min - guarantees sufficient processor initialization time before release |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6s typ - provides robust firmware activity monitoring without false triggers |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.2V to 5.5V - enables operation across brownout conditions and low-power states |
| Reset Output Type | Active-high push-pull - drives logic-high reset directly without external pull-up |
| Power-Fail Threshold | 0.62V typ at PFI - allows precise early-warning detection of auxiliary supply collapse |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C - qualified for automotive-grade and industrial control environments |
Pinout & Package
MAX6702MKA+ is housed in an 8-pin SOT23 package (package code K8+2), footprint-compatible with JEDEC MO-178AB, and RoHS-compliant (indicated by '+' suffix).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | MR | Active-low manual reset input with internal 50kΩ pullup - debounced reset trigger via pushbutton or logic signal |
| 2 | VCC | Main supply input and primary reset threshold monitor - powers all internal circuitry and defines core reset condition |
| 3 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference - common return path for all internal comparators and outputs |
| 4 | PFI | Power-fail input for secondary voltage monitoring - high-impedance node referenced to 0.62V internal reference |
| 5 | PFO | Active-low power-fail output (push-pull) - signals impending supply collapse to µP interrupt line |
| 6 | WDI | Watchdog input - rising/falling edge clears internal 1.6s timer; absence asserts WDO |
| 7 | RESET | Active-high push-pull reset output - drives µP reset pin directly; asserted when any monitored supply drops below threshold |
| 8 | RST_IN1 | Adjustable reset input #1 - externally biased via resistor divider to monitor second system rail (e.g., 3.3V I/O) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple-voltage supervision | Simultaneous monitoring of VCC + two adjustable supplies (RST_IN1/RST_IN2) enables full-system power integrity validation |
| Guaranteed reset down to VCC = 1V | Ensures deterministic reset state during deep brownout - no undefined logic levels at µP reset pin |
| Independent watchdog output (WDO) | Separate WDO pin allows NMI-based fault logging without interfering with main reset timing |
| 0.62V precision power-fail comparator | Enables accurate early-warning detection of auxiliary supply failure using standard resistor networks |
| Immunity to short VCC transients | Rejects <100ns supply glitches - prevents spurious resets in noisy industrial environments |
Applications
| Industrial Controllers | Intelligent Instruments |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: PLCs and motor drives requiring fail-safe startup and runtime supervision under fluctuating 24V DC bus conditions. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervises primary 5V logic rail, isolated 3.3V I/O rail, and 2.5V ADC reference rail; asserts active-high RESET until all three stabilize.

Use Value: Enables safe firmware recovery and data preservation via coordinated reset/NMI/interrupt response. |
Use Scenario: Washing machine main control board operating from rectified AC with variable load-induced ripple on 5V/3.3V rails. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervises 5V MCU rail, 3.3V communication interface, and 2.5V temperature sensor supply; uses PFI to detect pre-failure of 12V pump driver supply. Use Value: Avoids uncontrolled restarts during voltage sags and initiates graceful pause before complete power loss. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6702TCA+ | 3.08V reset threshold (T-suffix); identical pinout, timing, and feature set | Targeted for +3.3V systems instead of +5V/3.3V dual-rail designs | Select when primary VCC is 3.3V nominal and tighter threshold margin is required |
| MAX6706MKA+ | Same 4.38V threshold and SOT23-8 package but adds PFI/PFO comparator (MAX6702 lacks PFI/PFO) | Supports power-fail warning and secondary supply monitoring; MAX6702 only monitors VCC/RST_IN1/RST_IN2 | Choose MAX6706MKA+ if early power-fail alert or auxiliary rail supervision is required |
Compared with MAX6702MKA+, MAX6702TCA+ shifts reset activation to lower voltage for 3.3V-centric systems, while MAX6706MKA+ extends functionality with integrated power-fail comparator-neither is pin-compatible replacement, but both serve adjacent supervision roles in the same family.

FAQ
What is the reset threshold voltage of the MAX6702MKA+?
The MAX6702MKA+ has a fixed reset threshold of 4.38V (M-suffix), specified with ±3% tolerance over -40°C to +125°C. This value applies to the VCC input and ensures reliable reset assertion for +5V systems experiencing brownout. The device also supports two additional adjustable reset inputs (RST_IN1 and RST_IN2) referenced to a 0.62V internal comparator threshold.
Does the MAX6702MKA+ include a power-fail comparator?
No, the MAX6702MKA+ does not include a power-fail comparator (PFI/PFO). Unlike MAX6705–MAX6708 variants, the MAX6702(A) series only provides triple-supply monitoring (VCC, RST_IN1, RST_IN2), manual reset (MR), and watchdog output (WDO). For power-fail functionality, consider MAX6706MKA+ or MAX6708MKA+.
What is the function of the WDI pin on the MAX6702MKA+?
The WDI (Watchdog Input) pin on the MAX6702MKA+ clears the internal 1.6s watchdog timer on each rising or falling edge. If no transition occurs within 1.6s, the WDO output asserts low. WDI is CMOS-compatible and accepts pulses as short as 50ns. Pulling MR low also clears WDO in the A-version, which MAX6702MKA+ is.
Is the MAX6702MKA+ compatible with 3.3V-only systems?
The MAX6702MKA+ can operate from 1.2V to 5.5V supply, but its 4.38V reset threshold is optimized for +5V systems. For 3.3V-only applications, use MAX6702TCA+ (3.08V threshold) or MAX6702SCA+ (2.93V threshold). Using MAX6702MKA+ on 3.3V may cause immediate reset assertion due to VCC < VTH.
What package type and RoHS status does the MAX6702MKA+ use?
The MAX6702MKA+ uses an 8-pin SOT23 package (JEDEC MO-178AB outline, land pattern 90-0176) and is RoHS-compliant, indicated by the '+' in the part number. It replaces leaded versions (e.g., MAX6702MKA-T) and meets current environmental compliance requirements for industrial and consumer applications.
