Product details
Overview
MAX705CSA+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-cost microprocessor supervisory circuit in 8-pin SO package, providing active-low reset output, 1.6s watchdog timer, 1.25V power-fail comparator input, and debounced manual-reset input. It asserts a guaranteed 200ms reset pulse when VCC drops below 4.65V and remains valid down to VCC = 1V - used for reliable power-up sequencing and brownout protection in embedded control systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX705CSA+T datasheet, MAX705CSA+T pinout, MAX705CSA+T application, or MAX705CSA+T equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, confirmed SO-8 pin mapping, exact reset threshold (4.65V), watchdog timeout (1.6s), PFI threshold (1.25V), and two validated alternative parts with documented technical and application differences.
Technical Context
The MAX705CSA+T integrates four core supervisory functions on a single die: precision supply monitoring with 40mV hysteresis, a self-clearing watchdog timer triggered by WDI edge transitions, a high-impedance (±25nA) 1.25V reference-based power-fail comparator, and TTL/CMOS-compatible MR input with 250μA internal pull-up. All logic outputs drive standard CMOS loads with guaranteed VOL ≤ 0.4V at 3.2mA sink.
Its reset generator uses an internal RC timing network to ensure ≥140ms minimum pulse width after VCC rise or MR release, while the watchdog timeout is factory-trimmed to 1.6s (1.0–2.25s range). The device operates across 1.0V to 5.5V supply range and guarantees RESET validity down to VCC = 1V - critical for battery-backed or low-voltage wake-up scenarios.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.65V ±150mV - triggers reset during brownout when +5V rail falls below safe µP operating level |
| Reset Pulse Width | 200ms typical - ensures sufficient duration to fully initialize microcontrollers like 80C51 or ARM Cortex-M0 |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6s ±650ms - provides deterministic firmware hang detection without external components |
| PFI Threshold | 1.25V ±50mV - enables precise early-warning power-fail detection via external voltage divider |
| Supply Current | 150–350µA - supports always-on monitoring in low-power industrial sensors and metering devices |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - allows operation during battery backup or deep-sleep wake-up before main regulator stabilizes |
| MR Input Pull-Up | 250µA - eliminates need for external pull-up resistor when using pushbutton manual reset |
Pinout & Package
MAX705CSA+T is housed in an 8-pin SO (Small Outline) package, RoHS-compliant with lead-free finish (+ suffix), 1.27mm pitch, and JEDEC MS-012AC outline. Pin 1 is marked with a beveled corner or dot.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 MR | Active-low manual-reset input | Debounced TTL/CMOS-compatible trigger; internal 250µA pull-up enables direct switch connection without external resistor |
| 2 VCC | +5V supply input | Primary power source; device guarantees RESET validity down to VCC = 1V for low-voltage recovery |
| 3 GND | Ground reference | Common return for all analog and digital functions; must be low-impedance to avoid PFI noise coupling |
| 4 PFI | Power-fail comparator input | High-impedance (±25nA) node referenced to 1.25V internal bandgap; used for monitoring auxiliary rails or battery voltage |
| 5 PFO | Power-fail open-drain output | Sinks current when PFI < 1.25V; requires external pull-up for interrupt signaling to µP NMI line |
| 6 WDO | Watchdog open-drain output | Asserts low on timeout or VCC brownout; can be tied to MR to force system reset on firmware lockup |
| 7 RESET | Active-low reset output | Guaranteed logic low (≤0.4V @ 3.2mA) for 200ms; drives standard µP reset pins directly |
| 8 WDI | Watchdog input | Edge-sensitive input; toggling within 1.6s prevents timeout; floating or tristated disables watchdog function |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated watchdog + reset + PFI + MR | Reduces BOM count by 4 discrete ICs; eliminates timing mismatch risks between separate supervisory blocks |
| RESET valid at VCC = 1V | Enables reliable reset assertion during battery switchover or ultra-low-power wake-up sequences |
| 1.25V precision PFI threshold | Supports accurate monitoring of 3.3V, 2.5V, or 1.8V rails via simple resistor divider - no external reference needed |
| 250µA MR internal pull-up | Removes requirement for external pull-up resistor, simplifying PCB layout and reducing component count |
| 40mV reset threshold hysteresis | Prevents oscillatory reset assertion during slow VCC ramp-up or noisy supply conditions |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX706CSA+T | 4.40V reset threshold (vs. 4.65V); identical pinout, timing, and feature set | Better suited for systems using 4.5V–5.0V LDOs with tighter tolerance; not drop-in for 5V ±5% designs | Select MAX706CSA+T only if VCC nominal is ≤4.75V and brownout margin must be lower than 4.65V |
| MAX813LCSA+T | Active-high RESET output (no RESET); same 4.65V threshold, 1.6s watchdog, and PFI/PFO functions | Required for µPs needing active-high reset (e.g., Intel 80C51); incompatible with active-low-only reset inputs | Choose MAX813LCSA+T when interfacing to legacy 8-bit µPs with non-inverting reset architecture |
Compared with MAX705CSA+T, MAX706CSA+T lowers reset activation voltage for tighter supply margins, while MAX813LCSA+T replaces active-low RESET with active-high RESET - both retain identical SO-8 footprint and watchdog/PFI functionality but require schematic review for reset polarity and threshold alignment.

FAQ
What is the reset threshold voltage for MAX705CSA+T?
The MAX705CSA+T has a nominal reset threshold of 4.65V, with a guaranteed range of 4.50V to 4.75V over temperature and supply variation. This threshold is factory-trimmed and includes 40mV hysteresis to prevent chatter during slow VCC ramps. The value is specified for the MAX705 variant and applies identically to the MAX705CSA+T SO-package version.
Does MAX705CSA+T support active-high reset output?
No, MAX705CSA+T provides only an active-low RESET output. It does not include the active-high RESET output found in MAX707/MAX708/MAX813L variants. For active-high reset functionality, use MAX813LCSA+T - which shares the same 4.65V threshold and watchdog features but replaces RESET with RESET.
Can MAX705CSA+T monitor voltages other than +5V?
Yes, MAX705CSA+T can monitor any DC voltage via its PFI pin using an external resistor divider. With its 1.25V internal reference, PFI accepts inputs up to VCC and supports monitoring of 3.3V, 2.5V, or even negative rails (with appropriate biasing). The PFO output asserts low when the divided voltage falls below 1.25V - enabling flexible power-fail or low-battery detection.
What is the watchdog timeout period for MAX705CSA+T?
The watchdog timeout period for MAX705CSA+T is 1.6 seconds typical, with a guaranteed range of 1.00s to 2.25s across temperature and process variation. The timer resets on any rising or falling edge at WDI, and is also cleared automatically during RESET assertion or when WDI is three-stated - ensuring robust firmware supervision without false triggers.
Is MAX705CSA+T compatible with manual reset switches without external components?
Yes, MAX705CSA+T includes a 250µA internal pull-up current on the MR pin, allowing direct connection to a grounded pushbutton switch without an external resistor. The input is TTL/CMOS-compatible, and the 140–280ms minimum reset pulse width provides inherent hardware debouncing - eliminating external RC networks required by discrete solutions.
