Product details
Overview
MAX6702RKA+ from Maxim Integrated is an active-high push-pull microprocessor supervisory IC designed for triple-voltage monitoring in embedded systems. It monitors VCC (2.55V–3.6V), RST_IN1, and RST_IN2 with independent 0.62V threshold comparators, provides a 140ms reset timeout, 1.6s watchdog timer, and manual reset input - used in white goods power sequencing and telecom baseband controllers.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6702RKA+ datasheet, MAX6702RKA+ pinout, MAX6702RKA+ application, or MAX6702RKA+ 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 validated alternative options for industrial-grade µP reset management.
Technical Context
The MAX6702RKA+ implements three independent voltage-monitoring comparators (VCC, RST_IN1, RST_IN2), each referenced to a precision 0.62V internal bandgap. Reset assertion occurs if any monitored supply falls below its threshold, with a fixed 140ms timeout after recovery.
Its watchdog circuit requires WDI toggling within 1.6s (typ) to prevent WDO assertion; WDO deasserts immediately upon valid WDI edge or MR low pulse in A-version configuration. The active-high RESET output is push-pull, sourcing up to 500µA at VCC ≥ 2.7V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Output Type | Active-high push-pull - drives high-impedance µP reset inputs directly without external pull-up |
| VCC Operating Range | 2.55V to 3.6V - supports +3.3V and +3.0V system rails with guaranteed operation down to 1.2V |
| Reset Threshold Accuracy | ±1.5% over -40°C to +125°C - ensures reliable brownout detection across automotive/industrial temperature range |
| Watchdog Timeout Period | 1.6s typical (0.96s to 2.52s over temp) - provides robust firmware activity verification without excessive latency |
| Power-Fail Input Threshold | 0.62V ±9mV - enables precise external voltage-divider-based monitoring of auxiliary supplies down to 2.1V |
| Supply Current | 9µA typical at VCC < 3.6V - minimizes quiescent load on battery-backed or energy-constrained subsystems |
| Reset Timeout Delay | 140ms minimum - meets JEDEC JESD78 requirement for minimum reset pulse width in µP systems |
Pinout & Package
MAX6702RKA+ is housed in an 8-pin SOT23 package (package code K8+2), measuring 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm, RoHS-compliant and lead-free (denoted by '+' suffix).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 MR | Active-low manual reset input | CMOS-compatible input with 50kΩ internal pullup; pulling low forces immediate active-high RESET assertion and clears watchdog timer |
| 2 VCC | Main supply input | Primary power rail (2.55V–3.6V); powers internal comparators, timer, and push-pull RESET output stage |
| 3 GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all internal circuits and output drivers; must be low-impedance connection |
| 4 PFI | Power-fail monitor input | High-impedance (±200nA leakage) comparator input referenced to 0.62V; accepts external resistive divider for secondary supply monitoring |
| 5 PFO | Power-fail output | Active-low push-pull output asserted when PFI < 0.62V; used to trigger early warning interrupts before main supply collapse |
| 6 WDI | Watchdog input | Edge-sensitive input; rising or falling edge resets 1.6s watchdog timer; 50ns minimum pulse width detectable |
| 7 RESET | Active-high reset output | Push-pull output sourcing ≥500µA at VCC ≥ 2.7V; asserts high during power-up/brownout and remains high for 140ms post-recovery |
| 8 WDO | Active-low watchdog output | Push-pull output sinking ≥100µA; goes low on watchdog timeout or undervoltage condition; deasserts on WDI edge or MR low |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple-voltage supervision | Simultaneous monitoring of VCC, RST_IN1, and RST_IN2 via dedicated comparators - enables single-chip control of I/O, core, and analog supply sequencing |
| Guaranteed reset validity to VCC = 1V | Ensures deterministic reset behavior during deep brownout or battery sag conditions where other supervisors fail |
| Immunity to short VCC transients | Rejects <100ns supply glitches - prevents spurious resets in noisy industrial or motor-drive environments |
| Independent watchdog output (WDO) | Separate WDO signal allows NMI-triggered fault logging without interfering with primary RESET timing or state |
| Adjustable power-fail comparator | PFI/PFO pair supports user-defined trip points from 0.62V upward - enables flexible early-warning detection for DC-DC converters or backup rails |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6702RKA-T | Same functionality and pinout, but leaded (Pb-containing) packaging instead of lead-free (+T suffix) | No difference in electrical performance or thermal behavior; differs only in RoHS compliance status | Select MAX6702RKA-T only if leaded assembly process is mandated by legacy manufacturing requirements |
| MAX6706RKA+ | Identical package, temperature range, and triple-supply monitoring architecture; differs only in reset output polarity (active-high push-pull same as MAX6702RKA+, but with different threshold voltage: 2.63V vs. 2.63V - same R-suffix) | Functionally interchangeable in designs where 2.63V VCC threshold matches system requirements; no layout change needed | Choose MAX6706RKA+ when identical supervision window is required but board-level reset polarity routing favors alternate part numbering convention |
Compared with MAX6702RKA+, MAX6702RKA-T offers identical electrical behavior but lacks RoHS compliance, while MAX6706RKA+ provides identical supervision timing and output drive strength with matching 2.63V threshold - enabling drop-in replacement in certified industrial designs requiring traceable lead-free components.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for MAX6702RKA+?
The MAX6702RKA+ has a nominal VCC reset threshold of 2.63V (R-suffix), with guaranteed tolerance of ±1.5% over -40°C to +125°C. This value is factory-trimmed and specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "VCC Reset Threshold" for MAX670_R/MAX670_AR versions. The threshold applies to the primary VCC monitor only; RST_IN1 and RST_IN2 use externally set thresholds referenced to 0.62V.
Does MAX6702RKA+ support monitoring of three independent supply rails?
Yes, MAX6702RKA+ supports triple-voltage supervision: VCC (2.55V–3.6V), RST_IN1, and RST_IN2. Each uses a dedicated comparator with 0.62V internal reference; RST_IN1 and RST_IN2 thresholds are set externally via resistor dividers. Reset asserts if any one of the three falls below its configured threshold - making MAX6702RKA+ ideal for complex power sequencing in multicore SoC systems.
What is the function of the WDO pin on MAX6702RKA+?
The WDO (Watchdog Output) pin on MAX6702RKA+ is an active-low push-pull output that asserts low when the watchdog timer expires (no WDI toggle within 1.6s) or when VCC/RST_IN1/RST_IN2 fall below their thresholds. Unlike non-A versions, MAX6702RKA+ deasserts WDO immediately upon valid WDI edge or MR low - enabling fast fault recovery without timeout delay in safety-critical applications.
Can MAX6702RKA+ operate with VCC below 2.55V?
MAX6702RKA+ guarantees full functionality only within its specified VCC range of 2.55V to 3.6V. However, the device maintains valid reset output down to VCC = 1.2V (minimum operating voltage), and RESET remains asserted low until VCC drops below 1.0V. Below 2.55V, comparator accuracy and watchdog timing may deviate from datasheet specs - so operation below 2.55V is not recommended for production use.
Is MAX6702RKA+ pin-compatible with other members of the MAX670x family?
Yes, MAX6702RKA+ shares identical 8-pin SOT23 pinout with all MAX6701–MAX6708 variants, including MAX6701RKA+, MAX6703RKA+, and MAX6706RKA+. Pin functions (MR, VCC, GND, PFI, PFO, WDI, RESET, WDO) are consistent across the family. Differences lie in reset polarity, output type (push-pull vs. open-drain), and included features - but PCB layout remains unchanged when substituting within the same package variant.
