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 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-T datasheet, MAX705CSA-T pinout, MAX705CSA-T application, or MAX705CSA-T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed RESET validity down to VCC = 1V, 200ms reset pulse width, TTL/CMOS-compatible MR input, and compatibility with +5V µP systems requiring robust power-supply supervision without external components.
Technical Context
The MAX705CSA-T integrates four core supervisory functions on a single die: a precision voltage monitor with 4.65V ±150mV threshold and 40mV hysteresis, a monostable watchdog timer triggered by WDI edge transitions with 1.0–2.25s timeout range, a 1.25V reference-based power-fail comparator (PFI/PFO), and a 250µA internally pulled-up manual-reset input with 150ns minimum pulse width tolerance.
Its reset generator asserts active-low RESET for ≥140ms after VCC rises above threshold or MR release, maintains RESET low during brownout, and guarantees logic-low output (≤0.4V) at VCC ≥1V with ISINK = 3.2mA - enabling compatibility with legacy 5V µPs such as Intel 80C51 derivatives requiring deterministic reset timing under marginal supply conditions.
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 full µP initialization before code execution resumes |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6s nominal - detects µP lockup without requiring software polling |
| Power-Fail Input Threshold | 1.25V ±50mV - enables early warning of supply degradation via external resistor divider |
| Supply Current | 150–350µA - supports low-power operation in battery-backed systems |
| RESET Valid Down To | VCC = 1V - guarantees reset assertion during deep brownout or slow power ramp |
| MR Input Pull-Up | 250µA internal - eliminates need for external pull-up resistor on manual reset switch |
Pinout & Package
MAX705CSA-T is housed in an 8-pin SO (Small Outline) package, RoHS-compliant, with 1.27mm pitch and standard JEDEC MS-012AC outline. Pin 1 is marked with dot or bevel; device orientation follows standard SO top-view convention.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (MR) | Manual-Reset Input | Active-low TTL/CMOS-compatible trigger with 250µA internal pull-up; debounced by ≥140ms reset pulse |
| 2 (VCC) | +5V Supply Input | Primary power rail connection; operates from 1.0V to 5.5V with guaranteed RESET down to 1V |
| 3 (GND) | Ground Reference | Common return for all analog and digital functions; must be low-impedance path to system ground |
| 4 (PFI) | Power-Fail Input | Comparator non-inverting input referenced to 1.25V; monitors auxiliary supplies or battery voltage via external divider |
| 5 (PFO) | Power-Fail Output | Open-drain active-low output signaling PFI < 1.25V; sinks current to assert interrupt or initiate orderly shutdown |
| 6 (WDI) | Watchdog Input | Edge-sensitive input; toggling within 1.6s prevents WDO assertion; floating disables watchdog |
| 7 (RESET) | Active-Low Reset Output | Push-pull output asserting low for ≥140ms during power-up/brownout/manual trigger; drives µP reset pin directly |
| 8 (WDO) | Watchdog Output | Open-drain active-low output that goes low on timeout or VCC undervoltage; no minimum pulse width guarantee |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Supervisory Functions | Combines reset generation, watchdog timer, power-fail detection, and manual reset in one 8-pin SO IC - reduces BOM count and PCB area vs. discrete solutions |
| Guaranteed RESET at Low VCC | Valid active-low RESET output down to VCC = 1V ensures µP remains held in reset during slow power ramp or deep brownout |
| Debounced Manual-Reset Input | 250µA internal pull-up and 140ms minimum reset pulse eliminate need for external RC debounce network |
| Precision Voltage Monitoring | 4.65V reset threshold with ±150mV tolerance and 40mV hysteresis prevents chatter near trip point during supply sag |
| Configurable Power-Fail Detection | 1.25V reference-based PFI allows monitoring of any DC voltage (e.g., +12V, -5V, battery) using external resistive divider |
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); otherwise identical pinout, features, and timing | Suitable for systems with tighter +5V tolerance or lower dropout regulators | Select MAX706CSA-T only if design requires reset assertion at lower supply voltage - not a drop-in replacement due to different threshold |
| MAX813LCSA-T | Active-high RESET output instead of active-low; same 4.65V threshold, 1.6s watchdog, and PFI/PFO functionality | Required for µPs with active-high reset inputs (e.g., certain ARM Cortex-M variants) | Choose MAX813LCSA-T when interfacing with µPs lacking active-low reset support - pin-compatible but logic polarity differs |
Compared with MAX706CSA-T, MAX705CSA-T asserts reset earlier during supply decay, improving margin for 5V systems with aging regulators; versus MAX813LCSA-T, it simplifies interface to legacy 8051/80C51 µPs but requires level-shifting for newer active-high-only processors.

FAQ
What is the reset threshold voltage of the MAX705CSA-T?
The MAX705CSA-T has a nominal reset threshold of 4.65V with a tolerance of ±150mV. This means RESET is asserted when VCC falls below approximately 4.50V and released after VCC rises above ~4.75V, with 40mV hysteresis preventing oscillation near the trip point. The threshold is factory-trimmed and guaranteed over temperature and supply variations.
Does the MAX705CSA-T support operation below 5V supply?
Yes, the MAX705CSA-T operates from VCC = 1.0V to 5.5V and guarantees valid active-low RESET output down to VCC = 1V with ISINK = 3.2mA. This enables reliable reset assertion during slow power ramps or deep brownout conditions where other supervisors may fail to hold the µP in reset.
How does the manual-reset input (MR) function on the MAX705CSA-T?
The MR pin on the MAX705CSA-T is an active-low, TTL/CMOS-compatible input with a 250µA internal pull-up current. Pulling MR below 0.8V triggers a 200ms reset pulse. Its 140ms minimum pulse width provides hardware debouncing, eliminating external RC networks. MR can also be driven by logic lines or pushbutton switches directly.
Can the MAX705CSA-T monitor voltages other than +5V?
Yes, the MAX705CSA-T's PFI pin accepts any DC voltage referenced to its 1.25V internal comparator threshold. By connecting a resistor divider from a target supply (e.g., +12V or battery) to PFI, users can configure early-warning power-fail detection. Adding hysteresis or filtering capacitors further enhances noise immunity for critical monitoring tasks.
Is the MAX705CSA-T pin-compatible with the MAX706CSA-T?
Yes, the MAX705CSA-T and MAX706CSA-T share identical 8-pin SO packaging, pinout, and functional block diagram - differing only in reset threshold (4.65V vs. 4.40V). However, they are not functionally interchangeable without verifying system-level voltage margin requirements, as the lower threshold of MAX706CSA-T may cause premature reset in 5V-tolerant designs.
