Product details
Overview
MAX698CWE+ from Maxim Integrated is a low-cost, single-supply +5V power-on reset and brownout monitor IC with open-drain RESET output, 4.65V threshold, 140ms minimum reset pulse width, and no external components required-used in microprocessor-based controllers for reliable power sequencing.
For engineers reviewing the MAX698CWE+ datasheet, MAX698CWE+ pinout, MAX698CWE+ application, or MAX698CWE+ equivalent, this page delivers verified package mapping (16-pin wide SO), confirmed reset timing, voltage threshold hysteresis, watchdog absence, and direct comparison to MAX699CWE+ and MAX698CPA.
Technical Context
The MAX698CWE+ implements a precision bandgap-based voltage monitor with fixed 4.65V power-up reset assertion threshold and 40mV hysteresis to prevent chatter during brownout recovery. It generates a guaranteed 140ms–500ms active-low open-drain RESET pulse on power-up, power-down, or VCC drop below threshold.
No internal watchdog timer is present-unlike the MAX699 variant-and all WDI/WDO pins are No Connect (N.C.) on this part. The device operates across 3.0V–5.5V supply range and draws only 5mA typical supply current at +5V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.65V nominal; asserts RESET when VCC falls below this level-ensures μP remains held in reset until stable +5V is established. |
| Hysteresis | 40mV; prevents oscillation during slow VCC ramp-up or brownout recovery by requiring ~4.75V to deassert reset. |
| Reset Pulse Width | 140–500ms; guarantees sufficient hold time for full μP initialization and peripheral stabilization before release. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 3.0V to 5.5V; supports operation across industrial-grade +5V rails with margin for ripple and tolerance. |
| Output Type | Open-drain RESET; allows wired-OR configuration, level shifting, and pull-up to any logic rail up to 5.5V. |
| Operating Temp | 0°C to +70°C (C grade); validated for commercial temperature environments in embedded controllers and instrumentation. |
| Supply Current | 5mA typical; enables low-power system monitoring without burdening the main +5V rail. |
Pinout & Package
MAX698CWE+ is housed in a 16-pin, 0.3-inch wide SO (small outline) package per outline 21-0042, RoHS-compliant with lead-free finish (indicated by '+' suffix). Pin 1 is top-left corner, index mark at Pin 1 end.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 4, 9 | GND | Chip power ground reference-must be connected to system ground plane for accurate voltage sensing. |
| 2, 3 | VCC | +5V supply input and sense node-connects directly to monitored +5V rail; dual pins reduce trace resistance. |
| 5–8, 10–14 | N.C. | No internal connection-left unconnected; no routing or termination required on PCB. |
| 15 | RESET | Active-low open-drain reset output-requires external pull-up; drives μP RESET# input during fault conditions. |
| 16 | RESET | Active-high reset output-complementary to Pin 15; enables direct interface to logic that requires high-true reset. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision 4.65V threshold | Guaranteed trip point with 40mV hysteresis ensures deterministic reset behavior across voltage transients and temperature. |
| 140ms minimum reset pulse | Meets μP minimum reset hold-time requirements without external RC timing components. |
| Dual RESET outputs (active-low & active-high) | Eliminates need for external inverters-supports both standard and non-inverting reset logic interfaces. |
| No external components required | Reduces BOM count, board area, and qualification effort-ideal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained designs. |
| 16-pin wide SO package | Provides mechanical robustness and thermal performance superior to 8-pin PDIP, with standardized footprint for automated assembly. |
Applications
| Industrial Controllers | Embedded Instrumentation |

Use Value: Factory-trimmed voltage threshold and guaranteed pulse width eliminate calibration steps and reduce design verification burden. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar power-on reset monitoring applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX699CWE+ | Includes functional watchdog input (WDI) and watchdog output (WDO); otherwise identical pinout, threshold, and timing. | Required where μP activity must be monitored continuously-not just power state-to detect lockup or firmware hang. | Select MAX699CWE+ only if watchdog supervision is needed; MAX698CWE+ avoids unused WDI/WDO pins and simplifies layout. |
| MAX698CPA | Same functionality and electrical specs, but in 8-pin PDIP package-no RESET (active-high) output; only open-drain RESET available. | Suitable for through-hole prototyping or legacy designs where SO packaging is not feasible. | Choose MAX698CPA for hand-soldered evaluation or low-volume DIP-based systems; MAX698CWE+ preferred for production SMT assembly. |
Compared with MAX699CWE+, MAX698CWE+ removes watchdog circuitry to reduce complexity and cost where continuous μP activity monitoring is unnecessary; compared with MAX698CPA, it adds active-high RESET and leverages SO packaging for higher reliability and smaller footprint.

FAQ
What is the reset threshold voltage of the MAX698CWE+?
The MAX698CWE+ has a nominal reset threshold of 4.65V, with guaranteed assertion when VCC falls below 4.4V and deassertion above 4.75V due to 40mV hysteresis. This ensures stable reset behavior during power-up, brownout, and power-down events without external components. The MAX698CWE+ uses an internal bandgap reference for accuracy across temperature and supply variations.
Does the MAX698CWE+ include a watchdog timer function?
No, the MAX698CWE+ does not include a watchdog timer. Unlike the MAX699CWE+, it lacks WDI (watchdog input) and WDO (watchdog output) functionality. Pins 11 and 14 on the MAX698CWE+ are No Connect (N.C.), and the device provides only power-on/brownout reset supervision. The MAX698CWE+ is optimized for simplicity and cost where continuous μP activity monitoring is not required.
What are the key differences between MAX698CWE+ and MAX698CPA?
The MAX698CWE+ and MAX698CPA share identical reset functionality and electrical specifications, but differ in package and output configuration: MAX698CWE+ uses a 16-pin wide SO package with both active-low and active-high RESET outputs, while MAX698CPA uses an 8-pin PDIP package with only open-drain RESET. The MAX698CWE+ supports surface-mount automation and offers greater interface flexibility.
Can the MAX698CWE+ be used with a 3.3V microprocessor?
Yes, the MAX698CWE+ can supervise a 3.3V system's +5V auxiliary rail or power supply, but its RESET outputs are designed for 5V logic compatibility. Its open-drain RESET pin can be pulled up to 3.3V for direct interface with 3.3V μPs, provided the pull-up voltage does not exceed VCC (5V). The MAX698CWE+ itself requires a +5V supply and does not operate from 3.3V.
What is the minimum reset pulse width guaranteed by the MAX698CWE+?
The MAX698CWE+ guarantees a minimum reset pulse width of 140ms, with typical duration up to 500ms depending on VCC ramp characteristics. This meets or exceeds the reset hold-time requirements of most 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit microprocessors. The pulse width is internally generated and does not depend on external capacitors or resistors-ensuring consistent timing across temperature and unit-to-unit variation.
