Product details
Overview
MAX6707LKA+T from Maxim Integrated is a single-supply microprocessor supervisory IC in 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), manual reset input, and guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 1V. It monitors +5.0V/+3.3V/+3.0V/+2.5V supplies in embedded controllers and critical µP power monitoring systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6707LKA+T datasheet, MAX6707LKA+T pinout, MAX6707LKA+T application, or MAX6707LKA+T equivalent, this device delivers precision brownout detection, glitch-immune manual reset, watchdog-triggered system recovery, and low-quiescent-current supervision for industrial and telecom power management circuits.
Technical Context
The MAX6707LKA+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 independent power-fail comparator with externally adjustable trip point via PFI resistor divider. Its reset logic responds to VCC falling below 4.63V (L-suffix threshold), MR assertion, or watchdog timeout - all while maintaining valid output states down to VCC = 1V.
It features open-drain RESET and WDO outputs, push-pull PFO, CMOS-compatible MR/WDI inputs with 50kΩ internal pullup, and 0.62V reference-based PFI sensing. The A-version (denoted by 'A' in part number family) ensures WDO deasserts immediately when undervoltage clears - unlike non-A versions where WDO remains latched until WDI toggles.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Reset Threshold | 4.63V (typ), ±3% over -40°C to +125°C - sets precise brownout detection point for +5V systems |
| Reset Timeout Period | 140ms (min), 280ms (max) - ensures µP holds reset long enough for stable power-up sequencing |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6s (typ), 0.96–2.52s over temperature - provides reliable software activity monitoring without false triggers |
| Power-Fail Input Threshold | 0.62V (typ), 6mV hysteresis - enables accurate early-warning detection of secondary supply collapse |
| Supply Current | 12–25µA at VCC < 5.5V - supports ultra-low-power battery-backed or energy-constrained applications |
| Operating Voltage Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - guarantees functional reset assertion even during deep brownout or partial power loss |
| Output Drive Capability | RESET/WDO: 50µA sink @ 0.3V VOL; PFO: 200µA sink @ 0.3V VOL - interfaces directly with µP NMI or interrupt pins |
Pinout & Package
MAX6707LKA+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 | Active-low manual reset input | CMOS-compatible input with 50kΩ internal pullup; forces reset when pulled low; debounces pushbutton switches |
| 2 VCC | Supply voltage and primary reset monitor input | Powers internal circuitry and serves as main reset threshold reference; valid operation from 1.0V to 5.5V |
| 3 GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all analog and digital functions; must be low-impedance for noise immunity |
| 4 PFI | Power-fail voltage monitor input | High-impedance node connected to internal 0.62V comparator; accepts external resistor divider for custom trip points |
| 5 PFO | Power-fail output | Open-drain active-low output signaling PFI undervoltage; drives µP interrupt or backup controller |
| 6 WDI | Watchdog input | Edge-sensitive input; resets watchdog timer on rising/falling edge; minimum pulse width 50ns |
| 7 RESET | Active-low reset output | Open-drain output asserted low during power-up, brownout, MR activation, or watchdog timeout |
| 8 WDO | Active-low watchdog output | Open-drain output asserted low on watchdog timeout or VCC/RST_IN undervoltage; deasserts on WDI toggle or MR low (A-version) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guaranteed reset validity to VCC = 1V | Ensures deterministic µP reset state even during severe brownout or battery sag conditions |
| Immunity to short falling VCC transients | Prevents spurious resets caused by sub-100ns supply dips - critical for noisy industrial environments |
| Independent watchdog output (WDO) | Enables separate NMI handling without interfering with main reset timing or duration |
| Adjustable power-fail comparator (PFI/PFO) | Supports early warning of secondary supply failure using external resistive divider - no extra IC needed |
| 140ms reset timeout with temperature stability | Maintains consistent reset hold time across -40°C to +125°C, eliminating need for external RC timing |
| Low 12–25µA quiescent current | Minimizes standby power draw in always-on systems such as white goods and telecom line cards |
Applications

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 | Same pinout and function, but A-version: WDO deasserts immediately when VCC recovers (no WDI toggle required); non-latching behavior | Better suited for systems requiring rapid watchdog recovery after transient undervoltage without software intervention | Select MAX6707AKA+T if immediate WDO release on VCC recovery is required; otherwise MAX6707LKA+T offers standard latched watchdog behavior |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Fixed 3.3V reset threshold, no PFI/PFO, no WDO - only RESET and MR; 35µA ICC, 200ms timeout | Lacks power-fail warning and independent watchdog output; suitable only for basic single-rail reset needs | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR only when PFI/PFO and WDO functionality are unnecessary and cost is primary constraint |
Compared with MAX6707AKA+T, MAX6707LKA+T provides latched watchdog behavior requiring WDI toggle to clear WDO - enhancing fault isolation in safety-critical designs; versus TPS3808G33DBVR, it adds full power-fail warning and independent watchdog output at higher integration density.

FAQ
What is the reset threshold voltage of MAX6707LKA+T?
The MAX6707LKA+T has a nominal VCC reset threshold of 4.63V (L-suffix), with guaranteed range of 4.47V to 4.78V over -40°C to +125°C. This threshold is factory-trimmed and applies to the primary VCC supply monitoring function, enabling precise brownout detection for +5V systems without external components.
Does MAX6707LKA+T support manual reset triggering?
Yes, MAX6707LKA+T includes an active-low manual reset input (MR) with internal 50kΩ pullup to VCC. Pulling MR low forces a reset pulse lasting the full 140–280ms timeout period, making it ideal for pushbutton-initiated system restarts or external logic-controlled recovery sequences.
How does the watchdog timer in MAX6707LKA+T operate?
The MAX6707LKA+T watchdog timer asserts WDO low if the WDI input remains static for longer than 1.6s (typ). WDO remains latched low until cleared by a WDI edge or MR assertion. Unlike A-versions, the standard MAX6707LKA+T requires explicit WDI toggling to deassert WDO after timeout - ensuring deliberate software acknowledgment.
Can MAX6707LKA+T monitor voltages other than VCC?
Yes, MAX6707LKA+T includes a dedicated PFI input with 0.62V internal reference, allowing external resistor dividers to set custom trip points for secondary supplies (e.g., +12V, +3.3V, or battery rails). The corresponding PFO output signals undervoltage events independently of the main reset function.
What package type and RoHS status does MAX6707LKA+T use?
MAX6707LKA+T is supplied in an 8-pin SOT23 package (K8+2 outline) and is RoHS-compliant and lead-free, as indicated by the "+T" suffix. It measures 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm and supports reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020 standards.
