Product details
Overview
MAX705CSA+ from Maxim Integrated is a low-cost microprocessor supervisory circuit in 8-pin SO package, providing active-low reset output, 1.6s watchdog timeout, 4.65V supply-voltage monitoring threshold, 1.25V power-fail comparator input, and debounced manual-reset input - used to ensure reliable boot and brownout recovery in embedded controllers and industrial instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX705CSA+ datasheet, MAX705CSA+ pinout, MAX705CSA+ application, or MAX705CSA+ equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, validated SO-8 pin mapping, confirmed reset timing and voltage thresholds, and two real-world alternative parts with documented technical differences for direct design-in evaluation.
Technical Context
The MAX705CSA+ integrates four core supervisory functions: a precision 4.65V VCC monitor with 40mV hysteresis, a 200ms guaranteed reset pulse width, a 1.6s watchdog timer with edge-sensitive WDI input (50ns minimum pulse detection), and a 1.25V reference-based power-fail comparator feeding PFO output. It operates across 1.0V to 5.5V supply range and guarantees RESET validity down to VCC = 1V.
Its internal 250µA MR pull-up current enables TTL/CMOS-compatible manual reset triggering, while the open-drain WDO and PFO outputs support flexible interrupt or NMI interfacing. The device asserts RESET during power-up, brownout (VCC < 4.65V), and manual reset events - with no internal latch, requiring external logic for persistent reset hold if needed.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.65V ±150mV - triggers reset when +5V rail drops below safe µP operating level |
| Reset Pulse Width | 200ms typical - ensures sufficient duration for full µP initialization and peripheral stabilization |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6s ±650ms - provides deterministic firmware hang detection without requiring clock source |
| Power-Fail Threshold | 1.25V ±50mV - enables early warning of +5V regulator dropout via external resistor divider |
| Supply Current | 150–350µA - ultra-low quiescent draw suitable for battery-backed or energy-constrained systems |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - supports valid reset assertion even during deep brownout or partial power loss |
| MR Input Threshold | 0.8V low / 2.0V high - compatible with standard TTL and CMOS logic drivers without level shifting |
Pinout & Package
MAX705CSA+ is housed in an 8-pin SO (Small Outline) package, RoHS-compliant with lead-free finish (indicated by '+' suffix), footprint-compatible with industry-standard SOIC-8 land pattern (JEDEC MS-012).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 MR | Manual-Reset Input | Active-low TTL/CMOS-compatible trigger with 250µA internal pull-up; debounces pushbutton switches via 140ms min pulse width |
| 2 VCC | Positive Supply Input | +5V main power rail connection; device guarantees RESET validity down to VCC = 1V |
| 3 GND | Ground Reference | 0V return path for all analog and digital functions; required for accurate voltage threshold referencing |
| 4 PFI | Power-Fail Input | High-impedance comparator input referenced to 1.25V internal bandgap; monitors auxiliary supplies or battery voltage via external divider |
| 5 PFO | Power-Fail Output | Open-drain output that pulls low when PFI < 1.25V; used for µP interrupt or backup system alert |
| 6 WDO | Watchdog Output | Open-drain output asserting low after 1.6s WDI inactivity; also drops low during VCC brownout independent of timer state |
| 7 RESET | Active-Low Reset Output | Push-pull output driving low for ≥200ms on power-up, brownout, or MR assertion; sinks 3.2mA at 0.4V max |
| 8 WDI | Watchdog Input | Edge-sensitive input clearing internal timer on rising/falling transitions; floating or tri-stated disables watchdog function |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guaranteed RESET validity at VCC = 1V | Enables robust reset assertion during deep brownout or battery-depleted conditions where other supervisors fail |
| 200ms reset pulse width with hysteresis | Prevents spurious resets during noisy or slowly rising VCC; meets µP minimum reset hold time requirements |
| 1.25V precision power-fail comparator | Allows configurable early-warning detection of +5V regulator dropout or secondary supply failure |
| Debounced TTL/CMOS-compatible MR input | Eliminates need for external RC debounce circuitry when using mechanical pushbuttons |
| Open-drain WDO and PFO outputs | Supports wired-OR interrupt bus sharing and flexible voltage-level translation without additional components |
Applications
| Industrial Controllers | Embedded Instrumentation |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: PLC I/O modules operating in electrically noisy factory environments with fluctuating 24VDC-to-5VDC conversion. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervisory circuit asserting active-low RESET during 5V rail dips below 4.65V and generating watchdog timeout if firmware hangs. Use Value: Prevents corrupted register states and communication lockups by forcing controlled reboot before critical control loop failure. |
Use Scenario: Portable handheld test equipment powered by Li-ion battery with dual-rail regulation (+5V and +3.3V). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monitoring +5V rail with 4.65V threshold and using PFI/PFO to detect battery voltage decay via 1.25V comparator.

Use Value: Eliminates enumeration failures caused by insufficient reset hold time or switch contact bounce. |
Use Scenario: Medical diagnostic devices where µP must never execute undefined code due to undervoltage. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acting as primary VCC supervisor with guaranteed RESET assertion down to VCC = 1V and 40mV hysteresis.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX706CSA+ | 4.40V reset threshold (vs. 4.65V); otherwise identical pinout, timing, and feature set | Suitable for systems with tighter +5V tolerance or lower-noise regulators where earlier reset assertion is preferred | Select MAX706CSA+ only if design requires reset at 4.40V; not drop-in compatible due to different threshold specification |
| MAX813LCSA+ | Active-high RESET output (RESET) instead of active-low RESET; same 4.65V threshold and watchdog functionality | Required for µPs with active-high reset inputs (e.g., Intel 80C51) without external inverter logic | Choose MAX813LCSA+ when µP reset pin is active-high; pinout matches but RESET/RESET polarity differs |
Compared with MAX705CSA+, MAX706CSA+ lowers reset activation voltage by 250mV for earlier intervention, while MAX813LCSA+ replaces active-low RESET with active-high RESET - both retain identical SO-8 packaging, watchdog behavior, and power-fail comparator capability.

FAQ
What is the reset threshold voltage for MAX705CSA+?
The MAX705CSA+ has a nominal reset threshold of 4.65V with ±150mV tolerance over temperature. This means RESET asserts low whenever VCC falls below approximately 4.50V and remains asserted until VCC rises above ~4.75V, providing hysteresis to prevent chatter near the trip point. This value is fixed and not adjustable.
Does MAX705CSA+ support active-high reset output?
No, MAX705CSA+ provides only an active-low RESET output. For active-high reset functionality, use the pin-compatible MAX813LCSA+, which substitutes RESET (active-high) for RESET (active-low) while retaining identical watchdog, power-fail, and manual-reset features.
Can MAX705CSA+ monitor voltages other than +5V?
Yes, MAX705CSA+ can monitor auxiliary supplies using its PFI input. By connecting a resistor divider from the target voltage to PFI, the 1.25V internal reference allows detection of voltage drops - for example, configuring PFI to trigger at 11V on a +12V rail. No additional components are required beyond the divider.
What is the watchdog timeout period for MAX705CSA+?
The MAX705CSA+ watchdog timer times out after 1.6 seconds (typical) if the WDI input is not toggled. The specified range is 1.00s to 2.25s over temperature and supply voltage. A rising or falling edge on WDI clears the timer, making it edge-sensitive rather than level-sensitive.
Is MAX705CSA+ compatible with SOIC-8 PCB footprints?
Yes, MAX705CSA+ uses a standard 8-pin SO (SOIC-8) package with 1.27mm pitch and JEDEC MS-012 outline. Its land pattern matches common SOIC-8 footprints, and the '+' suffix confirms RoHS-compliant lead-free finish - no layout changes are needed for migration from legacy leaded SOIC-8 parts.
