Product details
Overview
MAX6707ARKA+T from Maxim Integrated is a single-supply microprocessor supervisory IC in an 8-pin SOT23 package, providing active-low open-drain reset output, independent watchdog timer with 1.6s timeout, adjustable power-fail comparator (0.62V threshold), and manual reset input - designed for reliable power-up/down/brownout monitoring in +3.3V systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6707ARKA+T datasheet, MAX6707ARKA+T pinout, MAX6707ARKA+T application, or MAX6707ARKA+T equivalent, this device supports critical µP power monitoring in white goods, networking equipment, telecommunications infrastructure, and intelligent instruments where guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 1V and immunity to short VCC transients are required.
Technical Context
The MAX6707ARKA+T implements a dedicated reset generator with 140ms timeout delay and a separate watchdog circuit that asserts WDO low upon 1.6s WDI inactivity or undervoltage on VCC/PFI/RST_IN inputs. Its A-version architecture ensures WDO deasserts immediately when undervoltage conditions clear - unlike standard versions requiring WDI toggling.
It features an externally adjustable 0.62V reference-based power-fail comparator (PFI→PFO), CMOS-compatible MR input with internal 50kΩ pullup, and operates across -40°C to +125°C with supply current as low as 9µA at VCC < 3.6V. Reset threshold is factory-set to 3.08V (suffix 'R'), validated over full temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 3.08V (±30mV) - precisely monitors +3.3V supply rails during brownout |
| Reset Timeout Delay | 140ms - ensures µP remains held in reset long enough for stable clock and supply settling |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6s (typ) - provides robust software activity supervision without false triggers |
| Power-Fail Threshold | 0.62V (typ), 6mV hysteresis - enables accurate early-warning detection of secondary supply collapse |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.2V to 5.5V - guarantees functional reset assertion even during deep brownout down to 1.2V |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C - qualified for industrial and automotive under-hood environments |
| Reset Output Type | Active-low open-drain - allows wired-OR configuration and flexible voltage-level translation |
Pinout & Package
MAX6707ARKA+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 (indicated by '+T' suffix).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - MR | Manual Reset Input | CMOS-compatible active-low input with internal 50kΩ pullup; forces reset when pulled low, also clears watchdog |
| 2 - VCC | Supply Voltage Input | Primary power rail input (1.2–5.5V); powers internal circuitry and defines reset threshold reference |
| 3 - GND | Ground Reference | System ground connection; serves as return path for all internal comparators and outputs |
| 4 - PFI | Power-Fail Input | High-impedance comparator input referenced to 0.62V; accepts external resistor divider for custom trip point |
| 5 - PFO | Power-Fail Output | Active-low open-drain output asserted when PFI < 0.62V; used for early warning interrupt or system shutdown sequencing |
| 6 - WDI | Watchdog Input | Edge-sensitive input; requires rising/falling transition every ≤1.6s to prevent WDO assertion |
| 7 - RESET | Reset Output | Active-low open-drain output; asserted during power-up, brownout, MR activation, or watchdog timeout |
| 8 - WDO | Watchdog Output | Independent active-low open-drain output; latched low on watchdog timeout, cleared by WDI edge or MR low |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guaranteed reset validity to VCC = 1V | Ensures deterministic reset behavior even during severe brownout, preventing µP runaway |
| Immunity to short falling VCC transients | Rejects sub-100ns supply glitches, eliminating spurious resets in noisy power environments |
| Independent watchdog output (WDO) | Enables NMI-triggered fault logging without interfering with primary reset timing or state |
| Adjustable power-fail comparator | Supports monitoring of auxiliary supplies (e.g., 1.8V, 2.5V) via external resistor divider on PFI |
| 140ms reset timeout with temperature stability | Provides consistent reset hold time across -40°C to +125°C, critical for industrial thermal cycling |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6707AKA+T | Non-A version: WDO remains latched until WDI toggle; no automatic deassertion on VCC recovery | Suitable only where watchdog event must persist until software intervention | Select MAX6707ARKA+T when immediate WDO clearance on supply recovery is required |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | TI part: 3.3V fixed threshold, 200ms reset timeout, no PFI/PFO comparator, push-pull reset only | Lacks power-fail warning capability and open-drain flexibility; limited to single-rail monitoring | Choose MAX6707ARKA+T when early power-fail signaling and multi-rail adaptability are essential |
Compared with MAX6707AKA+T and TPS3808G33DBVR, MAX6707ARKA+T uniquely combines A-version watchdog behavior (instant WDO release on VCC recovery), integrated 0.62V power-fail comparator with open-drain PFO, and 3.08V precision reset threshold - enabling both robust supervision and proactive power failure response in compact SOT23 footprint.

FAQ
What is the reset threshold voltage for MAX6707ARKA+T?
The MAX6707ARKA+T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 3.08V (±30mV) at -40°C to +125°C, optimized for reliable supervision of +3.3V supply rails. This value is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "VTH" for suffix 'R', and remains stable with 60ppm/°C temperature coefficient.
How does the A-version watchdog behavior differ in MAX6707ARKA+T?
In MAX6707ARKA+T, the watchdog output (WDO) deasserts automatically when VCC recovers above threshold - no WDI toggle required. In contrast, non-A versions latch WDO low until a WDI edge occurs. This A-version behavior simplifies fault recovery and avoids unnecessary NMI interrupts during transient brownouts.
Can MAX6707ARKA+T monitor voltages other than VCC?
Yes. The PFI pin accepts an external resistor divider to set custom trip points for secondary supplies (e.g., 1.8V, 2.5V). With its 0.62V internal reference and 6mV hysteresis, MAX6707ARKA+T accurately detects voltage sags on any rail - and asserts PFO to trigger orderly shutdown or alert generation.
What is the function of the MR pin in MAX6707ARKA+T?
The MR pin is an active-low manual reset input with internal 50kΩ pullup to VCC. Pulling MR low forces RESET assertion for the full 140ms timeout period and also clears the watchdog timer. It supports pushbutton reset initiation and can be driven by external logic, enabling system-level reset coordination.
Is MAX6707ARKA+T compatible with open-drain bus configurations?
Yes. Both RESET and WDO outputs are open-drain, allowing wired-OR connection with other supervisors or logic signals. PFO is also open-drain. This enables level-shifting, shared interrupt lines, and fault-tolerant reset architectures - critical in multi-supervisor or hot-swap systems.
