Product details
Overview
MAX699CPA+ from Maxim Integrated is an 8-pin PDIP power-on reset and watchdog controller for +5V microprocessor systems. It delivers a guaranteed 140ms RESET pulse on power-up, brownout (trip at 4.4V), and power-down, features a 1s watchdog timeout with WDI input, and operates from 3.0V to 5.5V supply. It is used in embedded controllers requiring reliable power sequencing and processor activity monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the MAX699CPA+ datasheet, MAX699CPA+ pinout, MAX699CPA+ application, or MAX699CPA+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its fixed 4.65V reset threshold with 40mV hysteresis, open-drain RESET output rated for 1.6mA sink, watchdog disable-by-open functionality, and C-grade (0°C to +70°C) temperature rating in lead-free PDIP packaging.
Technical Context
The MAX699CPA+ integrates a precision voltage monitor and monostable watchdog timer in a single IC. Its reset circuit asserts when VCC falls below 4.4V and deasserts at 4.65V, providing 40mV hysteresis to prevent chatter during marginal supply conditions.
The watchdog function monitors the WDI input: if no transition occurs within 1 second, RESET goes low; leaving WDI unconnected disables this feature. The device uses internal reference and timing elements-no external components required for basic operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.65V (deassertion), 4.4V (assertion); ensures clean reset release after stable +5V rail is established |
| Hysteresis | 40mV; prevents oscillation during slow or noisy VCC ramp-up/down |
| Reset Pulse Width | 140–500ms; guarantees sufficient duration for μP initialization across all operating conditions |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1s ±20%; provides deterministic response to firmware lockup without external timing components |
| Supply Range | 3.0V to 5.5V; supports legacy +5V systems and tolerant of transient undershoot |
| RESET Output Type | Open-drain; allows wired-OR configuration and level-shifting with external pull-up |
| WDI Input Threshold | Logic-low ≤0.8V, logic-high ≥3.8V at VCC = 5V; compatible with TTL/CMOS outputs |
Pinout & Package
MAX699CPA+ is housed in an 8-lead plastic dual in-line package (PDIP) with 0.3-inch width, RoHS-compliant and lead-free (indicated by '+' suffix). Pin 1 is top-left corner, notch-up orientation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 4, 8 | GND | Power ground reference for internal comparators and watchdog logic |
| 2, 3 | VCC | +5V supply input and monitored rail; dual connection improves noise immunity |
| 5 | RESET | Active-low open-drain reset output; sinks up to 1.6mA at 0.4V max |
| 6 | WDI | Watchdog input; toggling required every <1s to prevent reset assertion |
| 7 | N.C. | No internal connection; must be left unconnected or tied to GND/VCC per layout best practice |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Watchdog Timer | 1s timeout with hardware-enforced disable-on-open WDI, eliminating need for external RC or dedicated watchdog IC |
| Precision Reset Threshold | Factory-trimmed 4.65V deassertion with 40mV hysteresis ensures consistent power-on behavior across voltage/temp |
| Zero-External-Component Operation | Requires no capacitors, resistors, or trim pots-reduces BOM count, board area, and qualification effort |
| Open-Drain RESET Output | Supports multi-source reset arbitration and flexible pull-up voltage selection (e.g., 3.3V or 5V domain) |
Applications
| Industrial Controllers | Embedded Data Loggers |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: PLC I/O modules powered from regulated +5V supplies subject to line transients and thermal cycling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Power-on reset supervisor and watchdog for ARM Cortex-M0 firmware execution.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Brownout detector and system-level reset initiator during low-VCC events. Use Value: Guarantees 140ms minimum reset hold time even during rapid voltage collapse, preserving EEPROM write integrity and state machine consistency. |
| Medical Diagnostic Instruments | Point-of-Sale Terminals |
Use Scenario: Portable ultrasound processors where firmware crash could compromise patient safety. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fail-safe watchdog and power-rail monitor co-located with main μP.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary reset generator during cold start and brownout recovery. Use Value: Eliminates need for discrete reset IC + RC network, reducing component count while maintaining 4.65V trip accuracy over 0°C to +70°C. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar power-on reset and watchdog applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX698CPA+ | No watchdog input (WDI) or timeout logic; RESET only triggered by VCC monitoring | Suitable where processor supervision is handled externally or unnecessary | Select MAX698CPA+ when watchdog functionality adds cost/complexity without benefit |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Fixed 3.3V reset threshold, no integrated watchdog, 200ms min reset pulse, SOT-23-6 package | Designed for low-voltage digital systems; incompatible with +5V-only monitoring | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR only for 3.3V rail monitoring where space constraints preclude PDIP |
Compared with MAX699CPA+, MAX698CPA+ removes watchdog capability but retains identical reset timing and threshold accuracy, while TPS3808G33DBVR shifts to 3.3V operation and eliminates WDI-making both alternatives non-drop-in replacements for +5V watchdog-critical designs.

FAQ
What is the reset threshold voltage for MAX699CPA+?
The MAX699CPA+ has a factory-trimmed reset deassertion threshold of 4.65V and assertion threshold of 4.4V, with 40mV hysteresis. This ensures reliable power-on sequencing for +5V systems and prevents false resets during marginal supply conditions. The thresholds are guaranteed over the full 0°C to +70°C operating range and do not require external calibration.
How does the watchdog function work on MAX699CPA+?
The MAX699CPA+ watchdog requires the WDI input (Pin 6) to toggle at least once every 1 second. If no transition occurs, RESET pulses low. Leaving WDI unconnected disables the watchdog entirely. This behavior is implemented in hardware with no software dependency, making MAX699CPA+ suitable for safety-critical firmware supervision.
Is MAX699CPA+ pin-compatible with MAX698CPA+?
Yes, MAX699CPA+ and MAX698CPA+ share identical 8-pin PDIP pinouts and footprint. Both use Pins 1/4/8 for GND, 2/3 for VCC, 5 for RESET, and 7 for N.C. However, MAX699CPA+ repurposes Pin 6 as WDI, whereas MAX698CPA+ leaves Pin 6 unconnected-so WDI must be intentionally driven or floated in MAX699CPA+ designs.
What is the maximum sink current capability of the RESET output on MAX699CPA+?
The RESET output on MAX699CPA+ is an open-drain driver specified to sink 1.6mA while maintaining ≤0.4V at the pin when VCC = 4.4V. This allows direct interfacing with standard TTL/CMOS inputs and supports pull-up to voltages up to VCC, enabling flexible reset signaling across mixed-voltage systems.
Does MAX699CPA+ require any external components to operate?
No, MAX699CPA+ operates fully autonomously with zero external components. Its internal voltage reference, timing circuitry, and comparator architecture eliminate the need for external capacitors, resistors, or trimming networks-reducing BOM cost, PCB area, and design validation effort compared to discrete reset solutions.
