Product details
Overview
MAX698CPA+ from Maxim Integrated is an 8-pin PDIP power-on reset controller for +5V microprocessor systems, featuring a precision 4.65V reset threshold, 140ms minimum reset pulse width, and operation from 3.0V to 5.5V supply. It provides reliable power-up, power-down, and brownout reset without external components in industrial controllers and embedded instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX698CPA+ datasheet, MAX698CPA+ pinout, MAX698CPA+ application, or MAX698CPA+ equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, package-specific terminal roles, thermal and voltage operating limits, and validated alternative parts for critical μP power monitoring designs.
Technical Context
The MAX698CPA+ integrates a precision bandgap-based voltage monitor with hysteresis (40mV) and a monostable reset timer. Its internal circuitry asserts RESET when VCC falls below 4.4V and deasserts only after VCC rises above 4.65V, ensuring clean release timing during recovery.
No watchdog functionality is present-unlike the MAX699 variant-making it a dedicated reset supervisor. The open-drain RESET output sinks up to 1.6mA at 0.4V low-level, compatible with standard TTL/CMOS logic interfaces across 0°C to +70°C ambient.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.65V typical; ensures stable reset assertion only after +5V rail stabilizes within tolerance |
| Reset Pulse Width | 140–500ms; guarantees sufficient duration for full μP initialization and peripheral settling |
| Supply Voltage Range | 3.0V to 5.5V; supports operation across degraded or marginally regulated +5V rails |
| Hysteresis | 40mV; prevents oscillatory reset toggling near threshold during slow-rising/falling VCC |
| RESET Output Type | Open-drain; enables wired-OR configuration and level-shifting with external pull-up |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to +70°C; qualified for commercial-grade embedded control and instrumentation environments |
Pinout & Package
MAX698CPA+ uses an 8-lead plastic dual in-line package (PDIP), with pins arranged in two parallel rows. Pin 1 is top-left corner (notch side), pin 8 is top-right. Ground and VCC are distributed across multiple pins for low-impedance supply routing.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 4, 8 | GND | Chip power ground reference; all internal comparators and timers referenced to this node |
| 2, 3 | VCC | +5V supply input and sensing node; monitors rail voltage directly without external divider |
| 5, 6 | N.C. | No internal connection; must remain unconnected per datasheet to avoid malfunction |
| 7 | RESET | Active-low open-drain reset output; pulls low during fault conditions, high-impedance otherwise |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision voltage monitoring | Guaranteed 4.65V ±150mV threshold with 40mV hysteresis eliminates need for external resistor networks |
| Self-contained reset timing | Monolithic 140ms minimum pulse generator ensures μP reset meets Intel/ARM specification hold-time requirements |
| Zero external components | Full reset supervision implemented in single IC-no capacitors, resistors, or trimming required |
| Robust open-drain output | Sinks 1.6mA at 0.4V low-level, enabling direct interface with 3.3V or 5V logic families via pull-up |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar reset supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX809SCPA+ | 3-pin SOT23 package; fixed 2.93V reset threshold; no hysteresis spec; 140ms min pulse | Designed for lower-voltage systems (3.3V/2.5V); unsuitable for +5V-only monitoring | Select only if supply rail is ≤3.3V and board space is constrained |
| TPS3808G01DBVR | Adjustable threshold (0.4–5V) via external resistor; 200ms default timeout; 6-pin SOT23 | Requires external components for +5V use; higher quiescent current (1.1μA vs 5mA) | Choose when threshold flexibility or ultra-low IQ is prioritized over component count |
Compared with MAX809SCPA+ and TPS3808G01DBVR, the MAX698CPA+ delivers fixed +5V optimization with zero external parts, making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-tolerant commercial controllers where 4.65V accuracy and 140ms timing are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX698CPA+?
The MAX698CPA+ has a guaranteed power-up reset deassertion threshold of 4.65V (typical), with a minimum of 4.50V and maximum of 4.75V across its 0°C to +70°C operating range. This precise threshold ensures reliable release only after the +5V supply stabilizes, and the device asserts reset below 4.4V to catch brownout conditions. The 40mV hysteresis prevents chatter near the trip point.
Does the MAX698CPA+ include a watchdog timer function?
No, the MAX698CPA+ does not include a watchdog timer. It is a dedicated power-on reset supervisor. The watchdog feature is exclusive to the MAX699 family variants (e.g., MAX699CPA+), which add a WDI input and-on SO packages-a WDO output. The MAX698CPA+ pinout contains no WDI or WDO terminals and its internal logic lacks watchdog timing circuitry.
What is the RESET output type and drive capability of the MAX698CPA+?
The MAX698CPA+ features an active-low open-drain RESET output. It can sink up to 1.6mA while maintaining a low-level voltage ≤0.4V when VCC = 4.4V. When inactive, the output is high-impedance, requiring an external pull-up resistor. This design allows flexible interfacing with 3.3V or 5V logic families and supports wired-OR reset busing across multiple devices.
Can the MAX698CPA+ operate from a 3.3V supply?
No, the MAX698CPA+ is designed exclusively for +5V system monitoring and requires a minimum supply voltage of 3.0V to function-but its internal voltage reference and comparator are calibrated for 4.65V threshold detection on a nominal +5V rail. Operating from 3.3V will cause incorrect reset behavior because the threshold remains fixed at ~4.65V relative to GND, well above the 3.3V rail. For 3.3V systems, consider the MAX809 series instead.
What package and RoHS status does the MAX698CPA+ have?
The MAX698CPA+ is supplied in an 8-lead plastic dual in-line package (PDIP) and is RoHS-compliant. The "+" suffix explicitly denotes lead(Pb)-free packaging per Maxim's ordering convention. Its outline matches package code P8-2 (outline 21-0043), with through-hole mounting and industry-standard 0.3-inch width. No lead-free conversion or exemption waivers apply.
