Product details
Overview
MAX6707ASKA from Maxim Integrated is a single-supply microprocessor supervisory IC with active-low open-drain reset output, independent watchdog timer (1.6s timeout), adjustable power-fail comparator (0.62V reference), and manual reset input. It monitors +3.0V systems (3.08V reset threshold), operates from 2.55V to 3.6V, guarantees reset validity down to VCC = 1V, and is used in industrial controllers and embedded systems requiring reliable brownout detection and watchdog supervision.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6707ASKA datasheet, MAX6707ASKA pinout, MAX6707ASKA application, or MAX6707ASKA equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, SOT23-8 package mapping, confirmed 140ms reset timeout, 0.62V PFI threshold, and two validated alternative parts for voltage-monitoring supervisory circuits.
Technical Context
The MAX6707ASKA implements a precision undervoltage detector with fixed 3.08V VCC reset threshold (±3% over -40°C to +125°C), an independent 0.62V reference-based power-fail comparator with PFI/PFO interface, and a 1.6s watchdog timer that asserts WDO on timeout or VCC/RST_IN undervoltage. Its reset generator holds RESET low for 140–300ms after fault clearance.
It features active-low open-drain RESET and WDO outputs, internal 50kΩ MR pullup, and guaranteed operation down to VCC = 1.0V. The device is immune to short VCC transients and supports manual reset assertion via MR with 200ns delay and 100ns glitch rejection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 3.08V (typ) at VCC falling; ±3% tolerance over full temperature range ensures stable trip point for +3.0V rail monitoring. |
| Reset Timeout Period | 140ms (min) to 300ms (max); provides sufficient hold time to guarantee µP initialization completes before release. |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6s (typ); detects µP lockup by requiring WDI toggle within this window-critical for fail-safe embedded control. |
| Power-Fail Threshold | 0.62V (typ) at PFI; enables early warning of supply collapse using external resistor divider for system-level power sequencing. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.55V to 3.6V; supports operation across entire +3.0V/3.3V logic family while maintaining reset accuracy. |
| Reset Output Type | Active-low open-drain; allows wired-OR configuration and level-shifting compatibility with diverse µP reset inputs. |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C; qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial PLC, and harsh-environment embedded applications. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6707ASKA is housed in an 8-pin SOT23-8 package (JEDEC MO-178 BA, 3.00mm × 1.75mm footprint) with exposed pad option not specified; lead-free variant available as MAX6707ASKA+.
| 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; debounced by 140ms timeout. |
| 2 VCC | Supply Voltage Input | Primary power input (2.55V–3.6V); powers internal circuitry and sets reset threshold reference; valid reset asserted down to 1.0V. |
| 3 GND | Ground Reference | System ground return for all internal comparators, timers, and output drivers; must be low-impedance for noise immunity. |
| 4 PFI | Power-Fail Input | High-impedance comparator input referenced to 0.62V; accepts external resistive divider to monitor secondary supplies. |
| 5 PFO | Power-Fail Output | Active-low open-drain output; asserts when PFI falls below 0.62V-used for early-warning interrupt or cascaded reset initiation. |
| 6 WDI | Watchdog Input | Edge-sensitive input; requires rising/falling transition every ≤1.6s to prevent WDO assertion; 50ns minimum pulse width detectable. |
| 7 RESET | Reset Output | Active-low open-drain output; driven low during VCC brownout, MR assertion, or watchdog timeout; sinks ≥1.2mA at VCC ≥2.55V. |
| 8 WDO | Watchdog Output | Independent active-low open-drain output; asserts on WDI timeout or VCC/RST_IN undervoltage; deasserts on valid WDI edge or MR low. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Adjustable Power-Fail Detection | 0.62V internal reference enables precise early-warning monitoring of any system voltage via external resistor divider. |
| Guaranteed Reset Below 1V | RESET remains valid and low down to VCC = 1.0V-ensures deterministic µP shutdown even during deep brownout. |
| Immunity to Short VCC Transients | Rejects glitches <100ns duration, preventing spurious resets in electrically noisy industrial environments. |
| Open-Drain Output Flexibility | Both RESET and WDO are open-drain, enabling wired-OR logic, multi-source reset arbitration, and mixed-voltage interfacing. |
| Low Quiescent Current | 9µA (typ) at 3.3V supply-reduces standby power in battery-backed or energy-sensitive embedded systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6705ASKA | Same 3.08V reset threshold, push-pull RESET output (vs. open-drain), identical PFI/PFO/WDO/WDI functionality. | Requires no external pullup on RESET; unsuitable where wired-OR reset bus or level translation is needed. | Select MAX6705ASKA when driving a single µP reset pin without shared bus constraints and lower output impedance is preferred. |
| TPS3808G30DBVR | 3.0V fixed reset threshold, 200ms timeout, push-pull RESET, no PFI/PFO, no WDO-only basic supervisor + watchdog. | Lacks power-fail warning capability and independent watchdog output; cannot replace PFO-driven interrupt functions. | Choose TPS3808G30DBVR only if power-fail monitoring is unnecessary and board space favors smaller SOT23-6 package. |
Compared with MAX6705ASKA, MAX6707ASKA's open-drain RESET enables flexible reset bus architecture; versus TPS3808G30DBVR, it adds critical PFI/PFO early-warning capability and independent WDO for NMI-based fault escalation-making it essential for safety-aware designs.

FAQ
What is the reset threshold voltage for MAX6707ASKA and how is it specified?
The MAX6707ASKA has a fixed reset threshold of 3.08V (typical) for the VCC supply, with ±3% tolerance over the full operating temperature range (-40°C to +125°C). This value is factory-trimmed and guaranteed-not dependent on external components. The 'S' suffix in MAX6707ASKA explicitly denotes the 3.08V threshold variant per Maxim's Threshold Suffix Guide, making it suitable for +3.0V system monitoring where tight trip-point accuracy is required.
Does MAX6707ASKA support operation down to 1V supply voltage, and what happens to RESET output below that?
Yes, MAX6707ASKA guarantees valid RESET output down to VCC = 1.0V-meaning RESET remains a logic-low signal (≤0.4V) and actively sinks current until VCC drops below 1.0V. Below 1.0V, RESET transitions to high-impedance (open-circuit) mode and no longer drives low. This behavior ensures deterministic µP shutdown during deep brownout while avoiding undefined logic states; a 100kΩ pull-down resistor on the RESET line is recommended for push-pull variants but not required for MAX6707ASKA's open-drain output.
How does the watchdog function in MAX6707ASKA differ from the standard MAX6707 version?
The MAX6707ASKA is the 'A-version', meaning its WDO output deasserts immediately when VCC, RST_IN1, or RST_IN2 rise above threshold-without waiting for a WDI edge. In contrast, the non-A MAX6707 requires a valid WDI transition to clear WDO after timeout. Both versions assert WDO on watchdog overflow or undervoltage, but the A-version adds faster recovery from transient faults. This distinction is critical for systems needing rapid watchdog recovery without software intervention-MAX6707ASKA delivers that behavior by design.
Can MAX6707ASKA monitor voltages other than VCC, and how is the PFI threshold set?
Yes, MAX6707ASKA can monitor secondary voltages via the PFI pin using an external resistive divider. The internal comparator references a precise 0.62V (typ) threshold, so the divider ratio is calculated as R1 = R2 × ((VEXT-TH/0.62) − 1), where VEXT-TH is the desired trip voltage. For example, to detect 12V failure at 10.2V, use R2 = 100kΩ and R1 ≈ 1.53MΩ. PFI leakage is only ±200nA, enabling high-value resistors that minimize quiescent current-ideal for battery-powered applications.
What package type and RoHS status does MAX6707ASKA use, and how is lead-free ordering indicated?
MAX6707ASKA uses an 8-pin SOT23-8 package (JEDEC MO-178 BA, 3.00mm × 1.75mm), with mechanical drawing code K8-2 per Maxim documentation. It is available in both leaded and lead-free versions: the standard MAX6707ASKA is leaded, while the lead-free variant is ordered as MAX6707ASKA+ (replacing '-T' with '+T'). The '+' suffix confirms RoHS compliance and Pb-free terminations, and the device meets JEDEC moisture sensitivity level MSL3-requiring bake prior to reflow if exposed to ambient >30°C/60% RH for >168 hours.
