Product details
Overview
MAX6707RKA+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 +2.55V to +3.6V supply rails in industrial embedded systems requiring reliable brownout detection and orderly shutdown.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6707RKA+T datasheet, MAX6707RKA+T pinout, MAX6707RKA+T application, or MAX6707RKA+T equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world use cases in white goods and telecom infrastructure, and two validated alternative parts with documented functional and interface differences.
Technical Context
The MAX6707RKA+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_INx inputs. Its power-fail comparator features 0.62V internal reference and 6mV hysteresis for noise-immune early-warning detection.
This A-version device deasserts WDO immediately when VCC or PFI recovers above threshold-unlike non-A variants-and supports MR-driven WDO clearing. The reset output remains valid across -40°C to +125°C with ±60ppm/°C threshold drift and immunity to sub-100ns VCC transients.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.63V (R-suffix), ±1.5% accuracy over -40°C to +125°C - sets precise brownout detection point for +2.55V–+3.6V supplies |
| Reset Timeout Delay | 140ms minimum - ensures µP initialization completes before release |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6s typical - provides sufficient margin for firmware watchdog servicing without false triggers |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.2V to 5.5V - enables operation during deep brownout and compatibility with 1.8V/2.5V/3.3V/5V systems |
| Power-Fail Input Threshold | 0.62V ±9mV - allows external resistor-divider configuration for secondary rail monitoring down to 0.9V |
| Quiescent Current | 9µA typical at VCC < 3.6V - minimizes impact on battery-backed or low-power standby modes |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive modules and industrial control cabinets |
Pinout & Package
MAX6707RKA+T uses an 8-pin SOT23 package (package code K8+2, outline 21-0078) with 0.65mm pitch, 2.9mm × 1.6mm footprint, and exposed pad option for thermal enhancement.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 MR | Active-low manual reset input | CMOS-compatible input with 50kΩ internal pullup; pulling low forces reset and clears WDO in A-version |
| 2 VCC | Supply voltage and primary reset monitor input | Power source for internal circuitry and reference for VTH = 2.63V reset trigger; valid down to 1.2V |
| 3 GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all analog and digital blocks; requires low-impedance PCB connection |
| 4 PFI | Power-fail voltage monitor input | High-impedance (±200nA leakage) node for external resistive divider; 0.62V comparator threshold |
| 5 PFO | Power-fail output | Open-drain active-low output; asserts when PFI < 0.62V - used for µP interrupt or secondary reset generation |
| 6 N.C. | No connection | Not internally bonded; must be left floating or tied to GND per layout guidelines |
| 7 RESET | Active-low open-drain reset output | Drives µP reset pin; requires external pullup; sinks ≥1.2mA at VCC ≥ 2.55V |
| 8 WDO | Active-low watchdog output | Independent open-drain output asserted on WDI timeout or VCC/PFI undervoltage; cleared by WDI edge or MR low |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Adjustable power-fail comparator | 0.62V internal reference with 6mV hysteresis enables configurable early-warning detection on any system rail |
| A-version watchdog behavior | WDO deasserts immediately upon VCC/PFI recovery - eliminates 1.6s delay in non-A versions for faster system resumption |
| Guaranteed reset validity to 1V | RESET remains logic-low (≤0.4V) until VCC drops below 1V - ensures deterministic µP state during full power collapse |
| Immunity to short VCC transients | Rejects falling-edge glitches <100ns - prevents spurious resets in noisy power environments |
| Low quiescent current | 9µA typical at 3.3V - extends battery life in always-on monitoring applications like smart meters |
Applications
| White Goods Control | Industrial Telecom Gateway |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6707RKA-T | Same functionality but leaded packaging; no RoHS compliance | Requires Pb-containing solder process; unsuitable for EU/China export | Select only for legacy manufacturing lines without lead-free capability |
| MAX6705RKA+T | Identical pinout and specs except push-pull (not open-drain) RESET output | Eliminates need for external pullup resistor; incompatible with wired-OR reset buses | Choose when driving single µP reset pin directly without bus sharing |
Compared with MAX6707RKA+T, MAX6707RKA-T lacks RoHS compliance and requires leaded assembly, while MAX6705RKA+T replaces open-drain RESET with push-pull - simplifying BOM but removing reset bus flexibility. All three share identical watchdog, PFI/PFO, and MR behavior.

FAQ
What is the reset threshold voltage for MAX6707RKA+T?
The MAX6707RKA+T has a nominal reset threshold of 2.63V (R-suffix), specified from 2.53V to 2.72V over -40°C to +125°C. This value is factory-trimmed and guaranteed across temperature, enabling precise brownout detection for +2.55V–+3.6V supply rails without external adjustment.
Does MAX6707RKA+T support manual reset triggering of the watchdog output?
Yes, MAX6707RKA+T supports MR-driven WDO clearing: pulling MR low deasserts WDO immediately in the A-version. This allows external logic or pushbutton switches to reset the watchdog state independently of VCC or PFI conditions - a key distinction from non-A variants where WDO only clears on WDI transition.
What is the function of the N.C. pin on MAX6707RKA+T?
Pin 6 of MAX6707RKA+T is designated N.C. (No Connection) - it is not internally bonded and serves no electrical function. Per Maxim's layout guidance, this pin must be left floating or connected to GND; routing traces or placing vias on it may cause mechanical stress or contamination risks in the SOT23 package.
How does the power-fail comparator in MAX6707RKA+T differ from the main reset monitor?
The MAX6707RKA+T power-fail comparator uses a fixed 0.62V internal reference on PFI, while the main reset monitor uses the R-suffix 2.63V threshold on VCC. PFI enables monitoring of secondary rails (e.g., 1.8V, 2.5V) via external resistor dividers, and its output (PFO) is independent of RESET - allowing simultaneous early-warning interrupt and system reset.
Is MAX6707RKA+T compatible with 1.8V supply systems?
Yes, MAX6707RKA+T operates with VCC as low as 1.2V and guarantees RESET validity down to 1.0V, making it suitable for 1.8V systems. However, its 2.63V reset threshold means it cannot supervise the 1.8V rail directly - instead, use PFI with a resistor divider to scale 1.8V down to 0.62V for power-fail detection.
