Product details
Overview
MAX699EPA+ from Maxim Integrated is an industrial-grade, 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 across -40°C to +85°C without external components.
For engineers reviewing the MAX699EPA+ datasheet, MAX699EPA+ pinout, MAX699EPA+ application, or MAX699EPA+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its open-drain RESET output (0.4V @ 1.6mA), 40mV hysteresis, watchdog disable-by-open-WDI capability, and compatibility with legacy 8-pin μP monitoring designs requiring extended temperature support.
Technical Context
The MAX699EPA+ integrates a precision voltage monitor with fixed 4.65V power-up reset threshold and 40mV hysteresis to prevent chatter during supply recovery. Its internal watchdog timer asserts RESET if the WDI input remains static beyond 1 second, and the circuit disables automatically when WDI is left unconnected.
Unlike the SO-package variants, the 8-pin PDIP version (MAX699EPA+) provides only inverted RESET output - no WDO or non-inverted RESET - and uses shared VCC pins (pins 1 & 2) for +5V sensing and chip power, with GND on pins 3 & 4.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operating Voltage Range | 3.0V to 5.5V - supports nominal +5V rails with ±0.5V tolerance margin |
| Reset Threshold (Power-Up) | 4.65V (typ) - guarantees reliable μP initialization before full VCC stabilization |
| Reset Pulse Width | 140ms (min) - exceeds typical processor minimum reset hold time requirements |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1s - provides sufficient window to detect firmware lockup in real-time embedded loops |
| Hysteresis | 40mV - prevents oscillatory reset assertion during slow VCC ramp-up or sag |
| RESET Output Type | Open-drain - enables wired-OR configuration and flexible pull-up voltage selection |
| Supply Current | 5mA (max) - enables low-quiescent operation in battery-backed or standby systems |
Pinout & Package
MAX699EPA+ is housed in an 8-lead plastic dual in-line package (PDIP), compliant with JEDEC MS-001, with 0.3-inch body width and through-hole mounting. Pin 1 is top-left corner (notch side), with pins numbered counter-clockwise.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2 | VCC | +5V supply sense input and IC power rail - dual connection improves noise immunity and current handling |
| 3, 4 | GND | Chip power ground - dual ground pins reduce ground bounce in noisy digital environments |
| 5 | RESET | Inverted open-drain reset output - active-low, requires external pull-up; asserts during fault conditions |
| 6 | WDI | Watchdog input - three-level logic (low/high/mid); unconnected = watchdog disabled |
| 7, 8 | N.C. | No connection - unused silicon pads; must remain unconnected per design |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision Brownout Detection | 4.65V trip with 40mV hysteresis ensures deterministic reset behavior across temperature and supply variation |
| Integrated Watchdog Timer | 1s timeout with automatic disable via floating WDI eliminates need for external timing components |
| Zero-External-Component Operation | Eliminates external RC networks, trim pots, or comparators - reduces BOM count and board area |
| Industrial Temperature Range | -40°C to +85°C operation validated for factory automation, motor control, and outdoor instrumentation |
| Open-Drain RESET Output | Supports mixed-voltage system interfacing and multi-source reset arbitration via wired-OR topology |
Applications
| Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) | Industrial Data Acquisition Systems |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Continuous operation in factory-floor cabinets subject to voltage sags and EMI transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary power-fail detector and watchdog supervisor for ARM Cortex-M4-based controller modules. Use Value: Prevents silent firmware hangs by forcing hard reset after 1s WDI inactivity, while 140ms pulse ensures full μP core initialization. | Use Scenario: Remote sensor nodes powered from 5V DC-DC converters with marginal line regulation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single-chip reset generator with brownout protection for 16-bit ADC and SPI interface logic. Use Value: 40mV hysteresis avoids repeated resets during slow 5V rail recovery; no external components simplify conformal coating and field repair. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-cost, high-reliability reset supervisor for x86-compatible embedded SBCs. Use Value: Eliminates need for discrete reset IC + external watchdog IC, reducing PCB footprint and qualification effort. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar power-on reset and watchdog controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX699CPA | Same functionality and pinout, but rated for 0°C to +70°C only | Suitable for commercial indoor applications only; not qualified for extended temperature environments | Select MAX699CPA only when ambient operating temperature stays within 0°C–70°C and cost is prioritized over ruggedness |
| TPS3823-46DBVR | Fixed 4.63V reset threshold, no integrated watchdog; SOT-23-5 package | Lacks WDI/WDO functionality; requires external watchdog circuitry for equivalent supervision | Choose TPS3823-46DBVR only when watchdog is unnecessary and board space constraints favor SOT-23 over PDIP |
Compared with MAX699CPA and TPS3823-46DBVR, the MAX699EPA+ uniquely combines industrial temperature rating, integrated watchdog, and 8-pin PDIP compatibility - enabling drop-in replacement in legacy designs where thermal robustness and single-chip supervision are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the reset threshold voltage of the MAX699EPA+?
The MAX699EPA+ has a nominal power-up reset deassertion threshold of 4.65V (typical), with a guaranteed range of 4.50V to 4.75V across -40°C to +85°C. Its hysteresis is 40mV, meaning reset reasserts at approximately 4.40V during falling VCC. This threshold is factory-trimmed and requires no external calibration.
How does the watchdog function work on the MAX699EPA+?
The MAX699EPA+ watchdog monitors the WDI pin (pin 6): if WDI remains static (high or low) for more than 1 second, RESET pulses low. Leaving WDI unconnected disables the watchdog entirely. The MAX699EPA+ does not provide WDO output - that feature is exclusive to the 16-pin SO package versions.
Is the MAX699EPA+ pin-compatible with the MAX698EPA+?
Yes, the MAX699EPA+ is pin-compatible with the MAX698EPA+ in the 8-pin PDIP package. Both share identical pinout, VCC/GND/RESET/WDI assignments, and electrical specifications except that MAX699EPA+ adds the WDI input and associated watchdog logic - WDI is a no-connect on MAX698EPA+.
What is the maximum supply current draw of the MAX699EPA+?
The MAX699EPA+ draws a maximum of 5mA under normal operating conditions (VCC = +5V, TA = +25°C). This value remains stable across its full -40°C to +85°C operating range and supports low-power system design without compromising reset timing accuracy or watchdog responsiveness.
Does the MAX699EPA+ support non-5V supplies?
The MAX699EPA+ operates over 3.0V to 5.5V, but its internal voltage monitor is optimized for +5V systems. Below 4.4V, RESET asserts regardless of watchdog state. While it functions at 3.3V logic levels, the reset threshold is not scaled - it remains ~4.65V - so it is not suitable as a 3.3V supply monitor without external level-shifting or scaling circuitry.
