Product details
Overview
MAX698EWE+ from Maxim Integrated is an E-grade (–40°C to +85°C), 16-pin wide SO power-on reset and voltage monitor IC with open-drain RESET output, 4.65V nominal reset threshold, 140ms minimum reset pulse width, and no watchdog functionality. It monitors +5V supplies in microprocessor systems and asserts RESET during power-up, power-down, or brownout.
For engineers reviewing the MAX698EWE+ datasheet, MAX698EWE+ pinout, MAX698EWE+ application, or MAX698EWE+ equivalent, this device serves as a precision, single-function reset supervisor for industrial embedded controllers and critical μP power monitoring where watchdog capability is not required and extended temperature operation is essential.
Technical Context
The MAX698EWE+ implements a precision bandgap-based voltage comparator with 40mV hysteresis to detect VCC drops below 4.65V (typical) and generate a clean, minimum 140ms active-low RESET pulse. Its internal timing circuit ensures reliable deassertion only after stable supply conditions are met.
Unlike the MAX699 variant, the MAX698EWE+ lacks WDI and WDO pins and associated watchdog logic - it provides only power-fail detection and reset generation. All functions operate from a single +5V supply within 3.0V to 5.5V operating range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operating Voltage Range | 3.0V to 5.5V - supports nominal +5V rails with ±0.5V tolerance and brownout margin |
| Reset Threshold | 4.65V (typ) - triggers RESET when VCC falls below this level, ensuring stable μP operation |
| Hysteresis | 40mV - prevents oscillation near threshold during slow supply ramps or noise |
| Reset Pulse Width | 140ms (min) - guarantees sufficient hold time for full microprocessor initialization |
| Supply Current | 5mA (max) - enables low-power system monitoring without burdening supply |
| Output Type | Open-drain RESET - allows wired-OR configuration and flexible pull-up voltage selection |
| Temperature Range | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and extended-environment applications |
Pinout & Package
MAX698EWE+ is housed in a 16-pin wide SO (0.3in) package with 0.050" pitch, RoHS-compliant lead-free finish (indicated by '+' suffix). Pin 1 is top-left corner, with standard SO orientation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 4, 9 | GND | Chip power ground reference for all internal comparators and outputs |
| 2, 3 | VCC | +5V supply input and monitored rail - dual VCC pins reduce trace inductance |
| 5–8, 10–14 | N.C. | No internal connection - must remain unconnected on PCB |
| 15 | RESET | Active-low open-drain reset output - asserted low during brownout/power-down |
| 16 | RESET | Active-high reset output - complementary to pin 15, available only in SO package |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision voltage monitoring | 4.65V threshold with 40mV hysteresis ensures accurate, noise-immune brownout detection |
| Guaranteed reset pulse width | Minimum 140ms pulse holds μP in reset long enough for full clock stabilization and memory initialization |
| Zero external components | Self-contained timing and sensing eliminates capacitors, resistors, or trimming - reduces BOM and layout area |
| Dual RESET outputs | Both active-low (pin 15) and active-high (pin 16) outputs enable direct interface to diverse logic families without inverters |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Controllers | Medical Diagnostic Instruments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar power-on reset and voltage monitoring applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX698CPA+ | Same core function but C-grade (0°C to +70°C); 8-pin PDIP package; no RESET high output | Suitable for commercial-temperature consumer or lab equipment; lacks dual RESET outputs and extended temp range | Select MAX698CPA+ only if ambient temperature stays within 0°C–70°C and PCB space allows DIP footprint |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V fixed threshold; 200ms min reset pulse; SOT-23-6 package; no active-high output | Designed for 3.3V systems; smaller footprint; requires external pull-up; no complementary RESET signal | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR for compact 3.3V designs where dual outputs and industrial temp are unnecessary |
Compared with MAX698CPA+ and TPS3808G33DBVR, the MAX698EWE+ uniquely delivers industrial temperature range, dual active-low/active-high RESET outputs, and 4.65V threshold in a 16-pin SO - making it optimal for ruggedized +5V μP systems needing guaranteed reset timing and layout flexibility.

FAQ
What is the reset threshold voltage of the MAX698EWE+?
The MAX698EWE+ has a nominal reset threshold of 4.65V, with a guaranteed range of 4.50V to 4.75V over its full operating temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). This threshold is internally trimmed and does not require external components. The device asserts RESET when VCC falls below this level and maintains the pulse for at least 140ms.
Does the MAX698EWE+ include a watchdog timer function?
No, the MAX698EWE+ does not include a watchdog timer. It is the MAX698 variant - distinct from the MAX699 - and contains only power-on reset and brownout detection circuitry. The watchdog input (WDI) and watchdog output (WDO) pins are absent; only RESET and complementary RESET outputs are present.
What are the key differences between MAX698EWE+ and MAX699EWE+?
The MAX699EWE+ adds a watchdog timer with 1-second timeout and WDI/WDO pins, while the MAX698EWE+ omits these entirely. Both share identical reset threshold, pulse width, and temperature rating. MAX698EWE+ offers dual RESET outputs (pins 15 and 16); MAX699EWE+ replaces pin 16 with WDO and adds WDI on pin 11.
Can the MAX698EWE+ be used with a 3.3V microprocessor system?
The MAX698EWE+ is specified for +5V supply monitoring and has a 4.65V reset threshold - it is not intended for direct use with 3.3V rails. For 3.3V systems, a dedicated 3.3V supervisor such as the TPS3808G33DBVR is recommended. Using MAX698EWE+ on 3.3V would result in immediate, permanent RESET assertion.
What is the purpose of the two RESET outputs on the MAX698EWE+?
The MAX698EWE+ provides both active-low (pin 15) and active-high (pin 16) RESET outputs to simplify interface with mixed-voltage logic families. Pin 15 drives low during fault; pin 16 drives high simultaneously - eliminating need for external inverters when driving 3.3V or 5V devices requiring opposite polarity reset signals.
