Product details
Overview
The MAX6707ATKA from Maxim Integrated is a single-supply microprocessor supervisory IC in an 8-pin SOT23 package, featuring active-low open-drain reset output, independent watchdog timer with 1.6s timeout, adjustable 0.62V power-fail comparator (PFI/PFO), and manual reset input. It monitors +5.0V/+3.3V/+3.0V/+2.5V rails and guarantees valid reset down to VCC = 1V - used in automotive ECUs and industrial controllers for reliable brownout recovery.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6707ATKA datasheet, MAX6707ATKA pinout, MAX6707ATKA application, or MAX6707ATKA equivalent, this page delivers verified functional architecture, exact pin roles, confirmed reset/wdog timing, PFI threshold behavior, and real-world substitution guidance - all aligned to Maxim's official MAX6701–MAX6708 family documentation.
Technical Context
The MAX6707ATKA implements a dual-comparator supervision architecture: one fixed-threshold monitor on VCC (configurable via suffix 'T' = 3.08V), and one independent 0.62V reference-based comparator on PFI for early power-fail warning. Its watchdog circuit asserts WDO low after 1.6s of no WDI edge, and deasserts immediately upon MR pull-down or valid WDI transition - unlike non-A versions which latch WDO until WDI toggles.
Reset generation uses a 140ms timeout period after VCC, PFI, or MR fault clearance; the open-drain RESET output sinks ≥1.2mA at VCC ≥2.55V with VOL ≤0.3V, while guaranteed operation extends to VCC = 1.0V. Immunity to short VCC transients (<100ns) is built-in per design specification.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 3.08V (VCC falling), ±3% over -40°C to +125°C - sets precise brownout detection point for +3.3V systems |
| Reset Timeout Period | 140ms (typ), 120–300ms over temperature - ensures µP completes boot sequence before release |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6s (typ), 0.96–2.52s over temperature - provides robust firmware hang detection without false triggers |
| PFI Threshold | 0.62V (typ), ±5mV hysteresis - enables accurate external voltage monitoring down to sub-1V rails |
| Supply Current | 9µA (typ) at VCC = 3.3V, 20µA max - supports ultra-low-power always-on supervision |
| Operating Voltage Range | 1.2V to 5.5V - allows use with Li-ion, 1.8V/2.5V/3.3V/5V logic domains |
| Output Type | Active-low open-drain RESET and WDO - enables wired-OR reset bus and level-shifting flexibility |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin SOT23-8 (JEDEC MO-178 BA variation, 1.95mm × 2.80mm body, 0.65mm pitch). Pin 1 marked with dot; coplanarity ≤4 mils.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 MR | Active-low manual reset input | CMOS-compatible; internal 50kΩ pullup; forces reset when pulled low; also clears WDO in A-version |
| 2 VCC | Main supply input | Power source for internal comparators and outputs; reset threshold referenced to this rail |
| 3 GND | Ground reference | Common return for all analog/digital functions; must be low-impedance connection |
| 4 PFI | Power-fail input | High-Z input to 0.62V comparator; accepts external resistor divider for custom trip points |
| 5 PFO | Power-fail output | Open-drain active-low output; asserts when PFI < 0.62V - used for µP interrupt or secondary reset |
| 6 WDI | Watchdog input | Edge-sensitive; 50ns minimum pulse width; toggling resets internal 1.6s timer |
| 7 RESET | Active-low reset output | Open-drain; sinks ≥1.2mA at VCC ≥2.55V; remains asserted for full timeout after fault clears |
| 8 WDO | Active-low watchdog output | Open-drain; asserts on WDI timeout or VCC/RST_IN undervoltage; deasserts instantly on MR low in A-version |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guaranteed reset validity to VCC = 1V | Ensures deterministic reset assertion during deep brownout, critical for automotive cold-crank scenarios |
| Independent PFI/PFO comparator | Enables early power-fail warning and controlled shutdown without affecting primary reset path |
| MR-driven WDO deassertion (A-version) | Allows immediate watchdog recovery via pushbutton - eliminates 1.6s delay required in non-A parts |
| Immunity to short VCC transients | Rejects <100ns supply glitches, preventing spurious resets in noisy industrial environments |
| Low 9µA typical supply current | Minimizes standby power in battery-backed systems and energy-harvesting applications |
Applications
| Automotive Engine Control Unit (ECU) | Industrial PLC I/O Module |
|---|---|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary supervisor asserting RESET during VCC brownout; PFI tied to 5V rail via divider for pre-failure alert. Use Value: Prevents ECU lockup by guaranteeing reset until VCC recovers above 3.08V and holds for 140ms - validated to -40°C to +125°C. | Use Scenario: Supervising FPGA configuration voltage and auxiliary 2.5V I/O bank in modular PLC backplane. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single-rail supervisor with PFO routed to FPGA's INIT_B pin for controlled reconfiguration on power anomaly. Use Value: Open-drain RESET and PFO allow direct connection to FPGA inputs without level shifters; 1.2V min operating voltage supports low-VCC test modes. |
| Medical Infusion Pump Controller | Telecom Remote Radio Unit (RRU) |
Use Scenario: Ensuring safe shutdown when main 5V DC-DC output drops below 4.5V due to load transient or thermal foldback. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-role device: RESET halts motor driver; PFO triggers NMI to log fault before power loss. Use Value: Independent PFI comparator detects 5V sag 100ms before reset threshold breach - enabling graceful drug delivery stop. | Use Scenario: Monitoring +3.3V FPGA core supply and -48V DC feed in outdoor base station equipment exposed to wide temperature swings. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervisor with MR connected to service button; WDO feeds FPGA watchdog input for firmware health check.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervision applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6707TKA | Same pinout and features, but non-A version: WDO latches low until WDI toggle; no MR-driven deassertion | Requires WDI toggling to clear watchdog fault - unsuitable where manual override is mandatory | Select MAX6707ATKA when immediate WDO reset via pushbutton is required; choose MAX6707TKA only if WDI is reliably driven in-system. |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | TI part with 3.3V fixed reset threshold, 200ms timeout, push-pull RESET, no PFI/PFO or watchdog output | Lacks power-fail warning and independent watchdog output - cannot replace PFO/NMI or WDO/NMI functions | Use only as basic reset-only replacement; requires redesign for PFI/PFO and WDO signal routing. |
Compared with MAX6707TKA and TPS3808G33DBVR, the MAX6707ATKA uniquely combines MR-activated WDO deassertion, dedicated PFI/PFO for predictive power management, and guaranteed 1V operation - making it irreplaceable in safety-critical brownout recovery and orderly shutdown designs.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for MAX6707ATKA?
The MAX6707ATKA has a nominal VCC reset threshold of 3.08V (suffix 'T'), with ±3% tolerance 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 variants. The threshold applies to VCC falling conditions and initiates the 140ms reset timeout period.
Does MAX6707ATKA support operation below 1.2V?
No - the absolute minimum operating voltage for MAX6707ATKA is 1.2V, as stated in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. While reset output is guaranteed valid down to VCC = 1.0V, the device does not function or monitor correctly below 1.2V. Operation below this limit risks undefined behavior and is outside specification.
How does the watchdog behavior differ between MAX6707ATKA and MAX6707TKA?
In MAX6707ATKA, WDO deasserts immediately when MR is pulled low - enabling instant watchdog recovery via pushbutton. In contrast, MAX6707TKA requires a valid WDI edge to clear latched WDO; MR only asserts reset and does not affect WDO state. This distinction is documented in the Standard- vs. A-Version Comparison section of the datasheet.
Can PFI on MAX6707ATKA monitor voltages below 0.62V?
No - the internal reference for the PFI comparator is fixed at 0.62V (typ), and the comparator only asserts PFO when PFI falls *below* that threshold. To monitor lower voltages, an external op-amp level shifter or dedicated low-Vin supervisor like MAX6369 would be required. The PFI input itself operates down to 0V, but detection is anchored to the 0.62V reference.
Is MAX6707ATKA pin-compatible with other parts in the MAX6701–MAX6708 family?
Yes - all MAX6701–MAX6708 variants, including MAX6707ATKA, share identical 8-pin SOT23-8 pinout and footprint. However, functionality differs: MAX6707ATKA uses pins 7 (RESET) and 8 (WDO) as open-drain outputs, while MAX6702ATKA uses pin 7 as active-high push-pull RESET and omits WDO. Always verify function mapping per variant before substitution.
