Product details
Overview
MAX6707TKA-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. It monitors +3.3V/+2.5V systems in industrial controllers and telecom infrastructure where brownout resilience and guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 1V are critical.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6707TKA-T datasheet, MAX6707TKA-T pinout, MAX6707TKA-T application, or MAX6707TKA-T equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, confirmed pin roles, exact reset timeout (140ms), watchdog behavior (latched WDO on timeout, deasserted by MR low or WDI edge), and real-world substitution guidance for µP power monitoring designs.
Technical Context
The MAX6707TKA-T implements a dual-comparator architecture: one fixed-threshold monitor for VCC (3.08V nominal, suffix 'T'), and one externally adjustable 0.62V-referenced comparator for power-fail detection (PFI/PFO). Its watchdog circuit asserts WDO low upon 1.6s WDI inactivity and remains latched until cleared by MR low or WDI edge - distinct from non-A versions that require WDI transition only.
Reset generation uses an internal 140ms timeout timer triggered by VCC falling below threshold, MR assertion, or (in A-version) undervoltage on monitored supplies. The open-drain RESET and WDO outputs support flexible pull-up configurations, while PFO provides active-low power-fail warning synchronized to PFI voltage crossing 0.62V ±9mV hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 3.08V (typ) at -40°C to +85°C; ensures reliable reset assertion during +3.3V supply brownout |
| Reset Timeout Period | 140ms (min) – guarantees µP reset pulse width sufficient for full initialization sequence |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6s (typ) – provides robust firmware activity monitoring without false triggers from brief stalls |
| Power-Fail Threshold | 0.62V (typ) with 6mV hysteresis – enables precise early-warning detection of secondary supply collapse |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.2V to 5.5V – supports operation during deep brownout and compatibility with 1.8V–5V system rails |
| Reset Output Type | Active-low open-drain – allows wired-OR configuration and level-shifting across voltage domains |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C – qualified for under-hood automotive control modules and industrial PLCs |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin SOT23 (K8+2 outline), 1.6mm × 2.9mm footprint, RoHS-compliant lead-free option available as MAX6707TKA+T.
| 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 latched WDO |
| 2 VCC | Supply voltage and primary reset monitor input | Powers internal circuitry and sets reset trigger point at 3.08V (suffix T); valid down to 1.2V |
| 3 GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all analog comparators and digital logic; decoupling capacitor required |
| 4 PFI | Power-fail voltage monitor input | High-impedance node referenced to 0.62V internal bandgap; connects to external resistor divider for custom trip points |
| 5 PFO | Power-fail comparator output | Active-low open-drain output asserting when PFI < 0.62V; used for µP interrupt or backup power enable |
| 6 WDI | Watchdog timer input | Edge-sensitive input; rising/falling transitions reset 1.6s timeout counter; 50ns minimum pulse width |
| 7 RESET | Active-low reset output | Open-drain output asserted during VCC brownout, MR low, or watchdog timeout; requires external pullup |
| 8 WDO | Active-low watchdog output | Open-drain output latched low on timeout; deasserted only by MR low or valid WDI edge (A-version behavior) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guaranteed reset validity to VCC = 1V | Ensures deterministic reset state during severe brownout conditions before supply collapse |
| Immunity to short VCC transients | Rejects <100ns supply glitches, preventing spurious resets in noisy power environments |
| Independent PFI/PFO comparator | Enables early power-fail warning on auxiliary rails (e.g., 1.2V core) without affecting main reset timing |
| Latched watchdog output (A-version) | WDO remains asserted after timeout until explicitly cleared, eliminating race conditions in NMI-driven recovery |
| 140ms reset timeout with temperature stability | Remains within 120–300ms range across -40°C to +125°C, ensuring consistent µP boot timing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6707TKA+T | Identical functionality and pinout; lead-free packaging replaces Pb-based -T suffix | Required for RoHS-compliant manufacturing; same thermal and electrical performance | Select when lead-free compliance is mandated by end-equipment regulations |
| MAX6705TKA-T | Same 3.08V threshold, 140ms timeout, and A-version watchdog, but push-pull RESET instead of open-drain | Suitable where active-drive reset is needed without external pullup; incompatible with wired-OR bus topologies | Choose when driving reset directly into CMOS inputs without shared bus constraints |
Compared with MAX6707TKA-T, MAX6707TKA+T offers identical supervision with environmental compliance, while MAX6705TKA-T trades open-drain flexibility for stronger push-pull drive-critical when interfacing with high-capacitance reset lines or avoiding external components.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for MAX6707TKA-T?
The MAX6707TKA-T has a nominal reset threshold of 3.08V at -40°C to +85°C, with guaranteed limits of 3.00V (min) and 3.15V (max) across that temperature range. At -40°C to +125°C, the range widens to 2.97V to 3.17V. This 3.08V threshold is set by the 'T' suffix and is optimized for reliable supervision of +3.3V supply rails during brownout conditions.
How does the watchdog behavior of MAX6707TKA-T differ from non-A versions?
The MAX6707TKA-T (A-version) asserts WDO low when VCC, RST_IN1, or RST_IN2 falls below threshold and deasserts WDO immediately when the undervoltage condition ends-without timeout delay. In contrast, non-A versions latch WDO low only on watchdog timeout and require a WDI edge to clear. The A-version also allows WDO deassertion by pulling MR low, enabling hardware-controlled watchdog reset.
Can MAX6707TKA-T monitor voltages other than VCC?
Yes, the MAX6707TKA-T includes a dedicated PFI input referenced to an internal 0.62V bandgap. By connecting an external resistor divider from a secondary supply (e.g., +1.2V core rail) to PFI, the device detects when that supply drops below the calculated trip point. The corresponding PFO output then asserts to signal power-fail, enabling preemptive system actions before main supply collapse.
What is the function of the open-drain RESET output on MAX6707TKA-T?
The open-drain RESET output on MAX6707TKA-T requires an external pullup resistor to the target voltage domain (e.g., +3.3V). This configuration allows multiple devices to share a common reset bus (wired-OR), supports level translation between different logic families, and prevents contention when multiple supervisors drive the same reset line. It also enables pullup to a higher voltage than VCC, useful in mixed-voltage systems.
Is MAX6707TKA-T compatible with 1.8V supply rails?
Yes, the MAX6707TKA-T operates with VCC as low as 1.2V and guarantees reset validity down to 1.0V, making it suitable for monitoring 1.8V rails. However, its 3.08V reset threshold is fixed and intended for +3.3V systems. To supervise 1.8V, use the PFI input with a resistor divider to scale the 1.8V rail down to 0.62V, triggering PFO for auxiliary monitoring while using VCC for main supply supervision.
