Product details
Overview
MAX6703TKA+TG071 from Maxim Integrated is a precision microprocessor supervisory IC in 8-pin SOT23 package, providing triple-voltage monitoring (one fixed + two adjustable thresholds), active-low open-drain reset output, manual reset input, and independent watchdog timer with 1.6s timeout. It guarantees valid reset down to VCC = 1V and supports critical µP power monitoring in white goods and telecom systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6703TKA+TG071 datasheet, MAX6703TKA+TG071 pinout, MAX6703TKA+TG071 application, or MAX6703TKA+TG071 equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, validated pin functions, confirmed triple-supply supervision capability, exact reset timeout (140ms), and real-world alternative part guidance for industrial embedded and networking designs.
Technical Context
The MAX6703TKA+TG071 implements a dual adjustable reset input architecture (RST_IN1/RST_IN2) alongside primary VCC monitoring, enabling simultaneous supervision of three system rails - e.g., +5.0V, +3.3V, and +2.5V - each referenced to a 0.62V internal comparator threshold. Its watchdog circuit asserts WDO low after 1.6s of no WDI edge transition and clears on any rising/falling edge.
Reset generation uses an internal timeout timer that holds RESET low for ≥140ms after VCC, RST_IN1, or RST_IN2 rises above threshold; brownout detection remains active during reset pulses. The device operates across –40°C to +125°C and maintains guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 1V with immunity to short falling-VCC transients.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold (VCC) | 3.08V nominal (T-suffix), ±3% over –40°C to +125°C - sets primary supply monitor point for +3.3V systems |
| Reset Timeout Period | 140ms minimum - ensures µP initialization completes before release from reset |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6s typical - provides reliable firmware hang detection without false triggers |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.2V to 5.5V - supports operation during brownout and enables use with low-voltage µPs |
| Power-Fail Input Threshold | 0.62V ±9mV - enables precise external voltage-divider-based monitoring of secondary supplies |
| Quiescent Current | 9µA typical at VCC < 3.6V - minimizes standby power in battery-backed or energy-sensitive applications |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for automotive-grade and industrial control environments |
Pinout & Package
MAX6703TKA+TG071 is housed in an 8-pin SOT23 package (package code K8+2), measuring 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm, RoHS-compliant and lead-free (indicated by "+T" suffix).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 MR | Active-low manual reset input | CMOS-compatible input with 50kΩ internal pullup; pulling low forces reset and clears watchdog; debounces pushbutton switches |
| 2 VCC | Main supply input | Primary power rail monitored for reset; powers internal comparators and outputs; valid down to 1.2V |
| 3 GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all internal circuits and output drivers |
| 4 PFI | Power-fail input | High-impedance comparator input (0.62V threshold); connects to external resistor divider for secondary supply monitoring |
| 5 PFO | Power-fail output | Open-drain active-low output; signals early power failure to µP interrupt line before main supply collapse |
| 6 WDI | Watchdog input | Edge-sensitive input; requires toggle every ≤1.6s to prevent WDO assertion; 50ns minimum pulse width detectable |
| 7 RESET | Active-low reset output | Open-drain output; asserted low during power-up, brownout, or MR activation; holds low ≥140ms after recovery |
| 8 WDO | Watchdog output | Open-drain active-low output; independent of RESET; latched low on timeout or undervoltage; cleared by WDI edge or MR low |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual adjustable reset inputs (RST_IN1/RST_IN2) | Enables triple-rail supervision using external resistive dividers - critical for multi-voltage µP systems with I/O, core, and analog supplies |
| Independent watchdog output (WDO) | Provides dedicated NMI-capable fault signal without affecting reset timing - allows separate watchdog handling in firmware |
| Guaranteed reset validity to VCC = 1V | Ensures deterministic µP reset state even during deep brownout - eliminates undefined behavior during power collapse |
| Immunity to short falling-VCC transients | Rejects sub-µs supply dips (≤40µs at 10mV/µs overdrive) - prevents spurious resets in noisy power environments |
| 140ms reset timeout with temperature stability | Remains within 120–300ms range over full –40°C to +125°C - guarantees consistent boot timing across operating conditions |
Applications
| White Goods Control | Industrial Networking Equipment |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6703TKA+T | Same functionality but leaded packaging ("-T" vs "+T"); identical electrical specs and pinout | No difference in circuit design or layout - only RoHS compliance and soldering profile differ | Select MAX6703TKA+T only if leaded assembly is required; otherwise MAX6703TKA+TG071 is preferred for RoHS compliance. |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single-supply supervisor (3.3V fixed threshold), no dual adjustable inputs or PFI/PFO; 200ms reset timeout | Lacks triple-rail monitoring and power-fail warning capability - unsuitable where secondary supply supervision is needed | Use only when monitoring one rail and no early warning or multi-voltage supervision is required; not a functional replacement. |
Compared with MAX6703TKA+T, MAX6703TKA+TG071 offers identical supervision performance with lead-free compliance; compared with TPS3808G33DBVR, it adds dual adjustable inputs and PFI/PFO - essential for systems requiring coordinated multi-rail reset and predictive power-fail response.

FAQ
What is the reset threshold voltage for MAX6703TKA+TG071?
The MAX6703TKA+TG071 has a nominal VCC reset threshold of 3.08V (T-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 "VTH" for MAX670_T/MAX670_AT versions. The threshold applies to the primary VCC supply monitoring function and enables reliable supervision of +3.3V systems.
Does MAX6703TKA+TG071 support triple-voltage monitoring?
Yes, MAX6703TKA+TG071 supports triple-voltage monitoring via its dual adjustable reset inputs (RST_IN1 and RST_IN2), in addition to primary VCC monitoring. Each input references the same 0.62V internal comparator, allowing external resistor dividers to set custom thresholds for secondary supplies such as +2.5V or +1.8V rails - a key feature distinguishing it from single-threshold supervisors.
What is the function of the PFI and PFO pins on MAX6703TKA+TG071?
PFI is a high-impedance input for the uncommitted power-fail comparator (threshold = 0.62V), used to monitor secondary supplies via external resistor dividers. PFO is its corresponding open-drain active-low output, asserting when PFI falls below threshold. Together, they enable early power-fail warning - for example, triggering a µP interrupt to save data before main supply collapse.
Is the watchdog timer on MAX6703TKA+TG071 independent of the reset function?
Yes, the watchdog timer on MAX6703TKA+TG071 produces an independent WDO output that asserts low after 1.6s of no WDI edge transition. WDO is not tied to the RESET output - it can be used separately (e.g., connected to an NMI input), and its assertion does not affect reset timing. The A-version (denoted by "A" in part number) also allows WDO deassertion via MR low or WDI edge.
What package type and dimensions does MAX6703TKA+TG071 use?
MAX6703TKA+TG071 uses an 8-pin SOT23 package (package code K8+2), with footprint outline 21-0078 and land pattern 90-0176. Its dimensions are 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm. The "+T" suffix confirms RoHS-compliant, lead-free construction, and the "G071" suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging per standard ordering format.
