Product details
Overview
MAX6705TKA+T from Maxim Integrated is a single-supply microprocessor supervisory IC in 8-pin SOT23 package, providing active-low push-pull reset output, independent watchdog timer with 1.6s timeout, adjustable 0.62V power-fail comparator (PFI/PFO), and manual reset input - used for reliable power-up sequencing and brownout protection in embedded controllers and telecom equipment.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6705TKA+T datasheet, MAX6705TKA+T pinout, MAX6705TKA+T application, or MAX6705TKA+T equivalent, this device delivers guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 1V, immunity to short VCC transients, and precise voltage monitoring for +3.3V/+2.5V systems requiring stable µP supervision under industrial temperature conditions (–40°C to +125°C).
Technical Context
The MAX6705TKA+T implements a dedicated reset generator with internal 140ms timeout delay, a separate watchdog timer that asserts WDO low upon 1.6s WDI inactivity, and an uncommitted comparator with 0.62V reference for external power-fail detection via PFI. Its reset logic responds to VCC falling below the T-suffix threshold (3.08V typ), MR assertion, or watchdog timeout - all while maintaining guaranteed reset assertion until VCC ≥ 1V.
Unlike the MAX6704/MAX6708, it includes both independent WDO and PFO outputs; unlike the MAX6701(A)–MAX6703(A), it monitors only VCC (not dual adjustable supplies). The A-version ensures WDO deasserts immediately when undervoltage clears - no timeout delay - and supports MR-driven WDO deassertion.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 3.08V (typ), ±3% over –40°C to +125°C - sets precise brownout detection point for +3.3V systems |
| Reset Timeout Delay | 140ms (min), 280ms (max) - ensures µP remains held in reset long enough for stable clock and supply settling |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6s (typ), 0.96–2.52s over temperature - provides robust software activity monitoring without false triggers |
| Power-Fail Threshold | 0.62V (typ), 6mV hysteresis - enables accurate early-warning detection of secondary supply collapse via external divider |
| Supply Current | 9–20µA at VCC < 3.6V - ultra-low quiescent current preserves battery life in always-on monitoring applications |
| Operating Voltage Range | 1.2V to 5.5V - guarantees functional reset assertion even during deep brownout down to 1.2V |
| Reset Output Type | Active-low push-pull - drives µP reset pin directly without external pull-up; sinks 3.2mA at VCC ≥ 4.25V |
Pinout & Package
MAX6705TKA+T 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 "+T" suffix). 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, and pin 8 is WDO - all pins are CMOS-compatible with internal 50kΩ MR pullup.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - MR | Active-low manual reset input | Pull low to force reset; internally pulled up to VCC (50kΩ); also clears watchdog timer and deasserts WDO in A-version |
| 2 - VCC | Main supply input and primary reset monitor | Power source for internal circuitry; reset asserted when VCC falls below 3.08V threshold |
| 3 - GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all analog and digital functions; must be low-impedance for noise immunity |
| 4 - PFI | Power-fail input | High-impedance node connected to internal 0.62V comparator; accepts external resistor divider for custom trip points |
| 5 - PFO | Power-fail output | Active-low open-drain output; asserts when PFI < 0.62V - used for early warning interrupt or cascaded reset initiation |
| 6 - WDI | Watchdog input | Edge-sensitive input; rising or falling edge resets 1.6s watchdog timer; pulses as short as 50ns are detected |
| 7 - RESET | Active-low reset output | Push-pull driver; guaranteed low (≤0.4V) down to VCC = 1V; holds µP in known state during power transitions |
| 8 - WDO | Active-low watchdog output | Independent push-pull output; asserts on watchdog timeout or VCC/RST_IN undervoltage - usable as NMI signal |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guaranteed reset validity to VCC = 1V | Ensures deterministic µP reset behavior during deep brownout, eliminating risk of undefined startup states |
| 140ms minimum reset timeout | Meets JEDEC JESD78 reliability requirements for reset pulse width, preventing premature release before supply stabilization |
| Independent WDO and PFO outputs | Enables simultaneous system-level fault signaling (NMI) and orderly shutdown preparation (PFO → µP interrupt) |
| 0.62V precision power-fail comparator | Allows accurate early-warning detection of secondary supply collapse using high-value resistive dividers (nA input leakage) |
| A-version watchdog behavior | WDO deasserts immediately upon recovery from undervoltage - no timeout delay - improving system responsiveness |
| Immunity to short VCC transients | Rejects <100ns supply glitches, preventing spurious resets in noisy industrial or automotive power environments |
Applications
| Industrial Controllers | Telecom Power Management |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervision applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6705TKA+T | Non-A version: WDO latches low on undervoltage and requires WDI edge to deassert; no MR-driven WDO deassertion | Lacks immediate WDO recovery on supply recovery - less responsive in fast-recovery systems | Select only if legacy design compatibility or strict timing predictability required over responsiveness |
| MAX6706TKA+T | Active-high push-pull RESET output instead of active-low; identical watchdog, PFI/PFO, and threshold specs | Requires inverted reset logic on µP side - incompatible with standard active-low reset inputs without level-shifting | Choose when host µP demands active-high reset assertion or when sharing PCB layout with MAX6702(A)/MAX6706(A) family |
Compared with MAX6705TKA+T, the MAX6705TKA+T lacks immediate WDO recovery on supply recovery, while MAX6706TKA+T changes reset polarity - both retain identical power-fail monitoring and 140ms timeout, but require board-level logic or layout adaptation.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for MAX6705TKA+T?
The MAX6705TKA+T has a nominal reset threshold of 3.08V (typical), with guaranteed range of 2.97V to 3.17V over –40°C to +125°C. This T-suffix variant is optimized for +3.3V supply monitoring and is specified per the Threshold Suffix Guide in the MAX6701–MAX6708 datasheet. The threshold exhibits 60ppm/°C temperature coefficient, ensuring stable trip point across industrial temperature extremes.
Does MAX6705TKA+T support manual reset functionality?
Yes, MAX6705TKA+T includes an active-low manual reset input (MR) with internal 50kΩ pullup to VCC. Pulling MR low forces immediate reset assertion for ≥200ns, and RESET remains active for the full 140ms timeout after MR returns high. MR also clears the watchdog timer and - in the A-version - deasserts WDO, enabling flexible system-level reset coordination.
How does the watchdog timer behave in MAX6705TKA+T?
The MAX6705TKA+T watchdog timer times out after 1.6s (typical) if no edge is detected on WDI. Upon timeout, WDO asserts low independently of RESET. In the A-version, WDO deasserts immediately when VCC recovers above threshold or on valid WDI edge - unlike non-A versions which require WDI toggling to clear. WDI accepts pulses as short as 50ns and is CMOS-compatible.
Can MAX6705TKA+T monitor voltages other than VCC?
Yes, MAX6705TKA+T includes a dedicated 0.62V comparator accessible via PFI and PFO pins. By connecting PFI to a resistor divider from any system voltage (e.g., +2.5V, +1.8V), users can configure early power-fail warning at custom thresholds. Input leakage is ≤200nA, enabling use of high-value resistors for minimal quiescent current impact.
What package and environmental rating does MAX6705TKA+T have?
MAX6705TKA+T is supplied in an 8-pin SOT23 package (K8+2 outline), RoHS-compliant and lead-free (indicated by "+T" suffix). It operates across –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature, with junction temperature rated to +150°C. Absolute maximum VCC is +6.0V, and ESD rating is >2kV HBM - validated for industrial and telecom equipment deployment.
