Product details
Overview
MAX6702SKA-T from Maxim Integrated is an active-high push-pull microprocessor supervisory IC that monitors +3.0V supply voltage (3.08V threshold), provides 140ms reset timeout, independent watchdog output with 1.6s timeout, and power-fail warning via 0.62V comparator input. It ensures reliable µP startup and brownout recovery in white goods and telecom power management systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6702SKA-T datasheet, MAX6702SKA-T pinout, MAX6702SKA-T application, or MAX6702SKA-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its active-high reset output, triple-voltage supervision capability (VCC + RST_IN1 + RST_IN2), guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 1V, immunity to short VCC transients, and SOT23-8 package compatibility with space-constrained embedded designs.
Technical Context
The MAX6702SKA-T implements a dual-comparator architecture: one fixed-threshold monitor for VCC (3.08V) and two high-impedance adjustable inputs (RST_IN1/RST_IN2) referenced to 0.62V, enabling triple-supply supervision. Its reset generator holds RESET high for 140–300ms after all monitored voltages exceed thresholds.
It integrates a watchdog timer that asserts WDO low if WDI remains static beyond 1.6s (typ), with WDO deasserting on valid WDI edge or MR low assertion - a behavior distinguishing the "A" version from standard variants. The PFI/PFO comparator operates independently with <1µs propagation delay and 6mV hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 3.08V (typ) at VCC; ±3% tolerance over -40°C to +125°C ensures stable trip point across industrial temperature range |
| Reset Timeout Period | 140ms (min) to 300ms (max); guarantees µP reset pulse long enough to complete internal initialization |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6s (typ); provides sufficient margin for µP firmware execution cycles before fault detection |
| Power-Fail Input Threshold | 0.62V (typ); enables precise early-warning detection of secondary supply collapse using external resistor divider |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.2V to 5.5V; supports operation during brownout and allows use with low-voltage µPs and regulators |
| Quiescent Current | 9µA (typ) at VCC < 3.6V; minimizes standby power in battery-backed or energy-sensitive systems |
| Reset Output Type | Active-high push-pull; eliminates need for external pull-up resistor and drives CMOS/TTL loads directly |
Pinout & Package
MAX6702SKA-T is housed in an 8-pin SOT23 package (JEDEC MO-178AA), measuring 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm, with gull-wing leads and RoHS-compliant lead-free finish (denoted by "+T" ordering 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 | Primary supply voltage input | Monitored at 3.08V threshold; powers internal circuitry and RESET output stage; valid down to 1.2V |
| 3 GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all internal comparators, timers, and output drivers; requires low-impedance PCB connection |
| 4 PFI | Power-fail comparator input | High-impedance (±200nA leakage) node referenced to 0.62V internal bandgap; accepts external voltage divider for secondary supply monitoring |
| 5 PFO | Power-fail comparator output | Active-low push-pull output; asserts when PFI < 0.62V; used to trigger µP interrupt or initiate controlled shutdown |
| 6 WDI | Watchdog timer input | Edge-sensitive input; rising or falling transition resets 1.6s watchdog timer; pulses as short as 50ns are recognized |
| 7 RESET | Active-high reset output | Push-pull driver capable of sourcing 500µA at VCC ≥ 2.7V; guarantees logic-high state down to VCC = 1V |
| 8 WDO | Watchdog output | Active-low push-pull output; asserted on watchdog timeout or undervoltage condition; deasserts on WDI edge or MR low |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple-supply supervision | Simultaneously monitors VCC (3.08V), RST_IN1, and RST_IN2 via 0.62V reference - enables full-system voltage integrity checking |
| Guaranteed reset validity to 1V | RESET remains functional and well-defined even as VCC collapses to 1.2V, preventing metastability during power-down |
| Immunity to short VCC transients | Rejects glitches ≤10µs duration (at ≥20mV overdrive), eliminating false resets from switching noise or load dumps |
| Independent power-fail comparator | PFI/PFO pair operates without affecting reset or watchdog timing - allows asynchronous early-warning signaling |
| Manual reset debouncing | MR input triggers full reset timeout period regardless of switch bounce duration, removing need for external RC filter |
Applications
| White Goods Control Panel | Telecom Line Card Power Management |

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 | Fixed 4.38V reset threshold; same pinout, timing, and feature set | Designed for +5V systems instead of +3.3V/+3.0V rails | Select when supervising 5V logic supplies; no change to PCB layout or firmware interface |
| MAX6706SKA-T | Identical 3.08V threshold and SOT23-8 package, but active-high push-pull RESET with integrated power-fail comparator only (no RST_IN1/RST_IN2) | Lacks triple-supply monitoring capability; simplified dual-voltage supervision | Choose for cost-sensitive designs where only VCC + one auxiliary rail require monitoring |
Compared with MAX6702SKA-T, MAX6702MKA-T shifts reset threshold upward for 5V systems but retains identical supervision logic and watchdog behavior, while MAX6706SKA-T reduces pin count and complexity by omitting adjustable reset inputs - making it suitable for single-rail or dual-rail applications where triple-voltage coverage is unnecessary.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6702SKA-T?
The MAX6702SKA-T has a nominal VCC reset threshold of 3.08V, with guaranteed limits of 3.00V (min) and 3.15V (max) over -40°C to +85°C, and 2.97V (min) to 3.17V (max) over -40°C to +125°C. This threshold is factory-trimmed and applies specifically to the "S" suffix variant, confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table of the official MAX6701–MAX6708 datasheet.
Does the MAX6702SKA-T support monitoring of multiple supply rails?
Yes, the MAX6702SKA-T supports triple-supply supervision: its primary VCC input (3.08V threshold), plus two user-adjustable inputs - RST_IN1 and RST_IN2 - each referenced to an internal 0.62V comparator. These allow independent monitoring of secondary rails like 1.8V or 2.5V using external resistor dividers, with reset asserted if any rail falls below its configured threshold.
How does the watchdog function behave on the MAX6702SKA-T?
The MAX6702SKA-T watchdog timer has a 1.6s typical timeout period. It asserts WDO low if WDI remains static beyond this interval. Unlike non-A versions, the "A" variant deasserts WDO immediately upon valid WDI edge or MR low - not requiring a timeout delay for recovery. This behavior is explicitly documented in the Standard- vs. A-Version Comparison section of the datasheet.
What is the purpose of the PFI and PFO pins on the MAX6702SKA-T?
PFI is a high-impedance input referenced to an internal 0.62V bandgap voltage; connecting it to a resistor divider from a secondary supply enables early power-fail detection. PFO is its complementary active-low push-pull output, asserting when PFI voltage drops below 0.62V. This pair operates independently of reset timing and can trigger µP interrupts for orderly shutdown before VCC collapse.
Is the MAX6702SKA-T compatible with 1.8V or 2.5V logic interfaces?
Yes - the MAX6702SKA-T's MR, WDI, and PFI inputs accept logic levels defined as VIL = 0.3×VCC and VIH = 0.7×VCC, and its RESET/WDO/PFO outputs drive to 0.8×VCC when sourcing current. With VCC ≥ 2.55V, it fully supports 1.8V and 2.5V logic families. Its 1.2V minimum operating voltage also permits operation during deep brownout conditions.
