Product details
Overview
MAX700EPA from Maxim Integrated is a precision power-supply supervisory circuit designed for critical µP power monitoring in industrial embedded systems. It provides factory-trimmed 4.65V reset threshold, guaranteed valid RESET output down to VCC = 1.0V, ≥200ms reset pulse width, debounced manual-reset input (MR), and operates across –40°C to +85°C. It is used to ensure reliable microprocessor startup and brownout recovery in +5V digital systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX700EPA datasheet, MAX700EPA pinout, MAX700EPA application, or MAX700EPA equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual-output reset capability (RESET/RESET), adjustable-voltage detection via SENSE/CTL pins, programmable hysteresis through HYST, and compatibility with extended-temperature industrial power rails.
Technical Context
The MAX700EPA implements an internal voltage comparator with factory-trimmed 4.65V threshold for VCC monitoring when CTL = GND, and supports external voltage sensing via SENSE input (1.29V reference) when CTL = VCC. Its reset logic guarantees active-low RESET and active-high RESET outputs during power-up, power-down, and low-VCC conditions.
Hysteresis is configurable using the HYST pin (typical on-resistance 1kΩ to GND), enabling noise-immune threshold adjustment. The MR input includes internal 5µA pullup and triggers reset on low assertion, with validated 0.7V threshold and –30µA pulldown current.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.65V ±150mV (factory-trimmed for +5V systems; ensures deterministic reset at supply droop) |
| Reset Pulse Width | 200–500ms (guarantees sufficient duration for µP initialization and peripheral stabilization) |
| VCC Valid Reset Range | 1.0V minimum (ensures correct RESET state even during deep brownout or slow power ramp) |
| Supply Current | 100–200µA (ultra-low quiescent draw enables use in battery-backed or always-on monitoring) |
| MR Input Threshold | 0.7V max (enables robust pushbutton interface with standard mechanical switches) |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C (validated for industrial control, instrumentation, and harsh-environment deployment) |
| Package | 8-pin PDIP (0.300" width; through-hole mounting compatible with legacy industrial PCBs) |
Pinout & Package
MAX700EPA is supplied in an 8-pin plastic dual-inline package (PDIP) with 0.300" body width and standard through-hole footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 MR | Manual Reset Input | Active-low input with internal 5µA pullup; asserts RESET/RESET when pulled below 0.7V |
| 2 SENSE | External Voltage Sense Input | 1.29V reference comparator input; used with external resistor divider when CTL = VCC |
| 3 HYST | Hysteresis Control Terminal | Connects to GND via external resistor to set hysteresis width; typical on-resistance 1kΩ |
| 4 GND | Ground Reference | Primary return path for all internal comparators, reset drivers, and bias circuits |
| 5 RESET | Active-Low Reset Output | Open-drain output sinking up to 16mA; requires external pullup for logic-level compatibility |
| 6 RESET | Active-High Reset Output | Push-pull output sourcing up to 3.2mA; delivers VCC – 0.4V high-level under load |
| 7 CTL | Control Select Input | Configures monitoring mode: GND → VCC monitoring; VCC → SENSE monitoring |
| 8 VCC | Power Supply Input | +3V to +15.5V tolerant; powers internal circuitry and serves as monitored rail when CTL = GND |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Preset & Adjustable Voltage Detection | Supports both fixed 4.65V VCC monitoring and user-defined thresholds via SENSE/CTL configuration |
| Adjustable Hysteresis | HYST pin enables precise noise margin tuning (e.g., 50mV–200mV) without external op-amps |
| Debounced Manual Reset | Internal MR debouncing eliminates need for RC filters or firmware debounce logic |
| Guaranteed Reset Below 1V | Ensures fail-safe reset assertion even during catastrophic supply collapse or cold-start scenarios |
| Dual-Output Reset Logic | Simultaneous active-low (open-drain) and active-high (push-pull) outputs simplify interface to diverse µP families |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar power-supply supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX701EPA | Same pinout and temperature range; lacks SENSE, HYST, and CTL pins - only monitors VCC at 4.65V | No external voltage sensing or hysteresis adjustment; suitable only for fixed-rail +5V monitoring | Select when design requires only basic VCC supervision without configurability |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V fixed threshold; 350ms min reset pulse; no manual reset input; SOT-23-6 package | Designed for low-voltage microcontrollers; incompatible pinout and missing MR/RESET dual output | Select for space-constrained 3.3V systems where manual reset and dual outputs are unnecessary |
Compared with MAX701EPA and TPS3808G33DBVR, the MAX700EPA uniquely supports both VCC and external rail monitoring, field-adjustable hysteresis, and simultaneous active-high/active-low reset signaling - making it the only option among the three for flexible, multi-rail industrial supervision with manual intervention capability.

FAQ
What is the reset threshold voltage of the MAX700EPA?
The MAX700EPA features a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 4.65V with ±150mV tolerance over its full operating temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). This value applies when monitoring VCC directly (CTL = GND). When configured for external sensing (CTL = VCC), the SENSE input uses a 1.29V internal reference, allowing custom thresholds via resistor dividers. The MAX700EPA datasheet specifies this as the nominal power-up threshold under standard test conditions.
Does the MAX700EPA support manual reset functionality?
Yes, the MAX700EPA includes a dedicated MR (Manual Reset) pin (Pin 1) with internal 5µA pullup current. Asserting MR low (below 0.7V) forces both RESET and RESET outputs into their active states regardless of VCC level. The input is debounced internally, eliminating the need for external RC filtering. This feature is fully functional across the –40°C to +85°C range and is documented in the MAX700EPA Electrical Characteristics table.
Can the MAX700EPA monitor voltages other than +5V?
Yes, the MAX700EPA supports adjustable-voltage detection via its SENSE pin (Pin 2) and CTL pin (Pin 7). When CTL is tied to VCC, the internal comparator monitors SENSE instead of VCC, using a precise 1.29V reference. By connecting a resistor divider from the target rail to SENSE, designers can configure detection thresholds from 3V to 15V. This capability is exclusive to the MAX700EPA within the MAX700/MAX701/MAX702 family.
What is the minimum VCC voltage at which the MAX700EPA guarantees correct RESET output state?
The MAX700EPA guarantees correct RESET output logic state down to VCC = 1.0V (with RESET sinking 1mA), as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics sections. This ensures deterministic behavior during deep brownout, slow power ramp-up, or partial supply failure - a key differentiator versus competitors that specify reset validity only above 2.0V or higher. This specification is validated across the full –40°C to +85°C temperature range.
Is the MAX700EPA pin-compatible with the MAX701EPA and MAX702EPA?
No, the MAX700EPA is not pin-compatible with MAX701EPA or MAX702EPA. While all three share the same 8-pin PDIP package and power/ground/reset pin locations (Pins 4, 5, 6, 8, and 1), the MAX700EPA uses Pins 2 (SENSE), 3 (HYST), and 7 (CTL) for configurable monitoring, whereas MAX701EPA assigns Pin 2 to RESET and MAX702EPA leaves Pins 2, 3, 6, and 7 as no-connects. Direct substitution would cause functional failure or damage due to incorrect signal routing.
