Product details
Overview
MAX705CUA+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-cost microprocessor supervisory circuit in an 8-pin µMAX package, providing active-low reset output, 1.6s watchdog timer, 4.65V supply-voltage monitoring, and 1.25V power-fail comparator input - used for reliable power-up sequencing and brownout protection in embedded control systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX705CUA+T datasheet, MAX705CUA+T pinout, MAX705CUA+T application, or MAX705CUA+T equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, validated pin roles, confirmed timing behavior (200ms reset pulse, 1.6s watchdog timeout), and real-world substitution guidance for industrial μP monitoring designs.
Technical Context
The MAX705CUA+T integrates four core supervisory functions: a precision voltage monitor with 4.65V threshold and 40mV hysteresis, a debounced manual-reset input (MR) with 250μA internal pull-up, a watchdog timer that triggers WDO low after 1.6s of no WDI edge, and a 1.25V reference-based power-fail comparator driving PFO.
Its RESET output remains valid down to VCC = 1V (guaranteed ≤0.4V at ISINK = 3.2mA), and all logic inputs are TTL/CMOS-compatible. The device operates over 0°C to +70°C and draws only 150–350µA quiescent current, enabling use in battery-backed or low-power μP systems without compromising supervision integrity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.65V ±150mV - asserts RESET when VCC drops below this level, ensuring robust brownout detection for +5V systems |
| Reset Pulse Width | 200ms nominal - guarantees sufficient duration to fully initialize microprocessors like Intel 80C51 or ARM Cortex-M0 |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6s ±0.65s - provides deterministic software liveliness monitoring without requiring external timing components |
| Power-Fail Threshold | 1.25V ±50mV - enables accurate early-warning detection of failing +5V rails via external resistor divider |
| Supply Current | 150–350µA - supports long-term operation in battery-supervised applications without significant drain |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - ensures RESET remains functional during deep brownout, down to near-logic-threshold supply levels |
| Manual-Reset Input | TTL/CMOS-compatible with 140ns minimum pulse width - allows pushbutton or logic-driven system reset with built-in debounce |
Pinout & Package
MAX705CUA+T is housed in an 8-pin µMAX® package (3mm × 3mm, 0.8mm height), RoHS-compliant and lead-free, with exposed pad for thermal enhancement. Pin numbering follows standard top-view orientation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (MR) | Active-Low Manual-Reset Input | Triggers 200ms RESET pulse when pulled below 0.8V; internally pulled up with 250μA current |
| 2 (VCC) | +5V Supply Input | Primary power rail; RESET remains valid down to 1.0V, enabling fail-safe operation during undervoltage |
| 3 (GND) | Ground Reference | Common return for all analog and digital functions; required for accurate 1.25V PFI comparator reference |
| 4 (PFI) | Power-Fail Input | Noninverting input of comparator referenced to 1.25V; used to monitor auxiliary supplies or battery voltage |
| 5 (PFO) | Power-Fail Output | Open-drain active-low output asserting when PFI < 1.25V; can interrupt μP or trigger backup switching |
| 6 (WDI) | Watchdog Input | Edge-sensitive input; toggling within 1.6s prevents WDO assertion; floating disables watchdog function |
| 7 (RESET) | Active-Low Reset Output | Push-pull output asserting low for ≥140ms during power-up/brownout; guaranteed logic low at VCC = 1V |
| 8 (WDO) | Watchdog Output | Open-drain active-low output asserting after watchdog timeout or during VCC brownout; no minimum pulse width |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guaranteed RESET validity at VCC = 1V | Enables fail-safe reset assertion even during severe brownout, critical for data retention in battery-backed RAM |
| Debounced TTL/CMOS-compatible MR input | Eliminates need for external RC debounce circuitry; supports direct connection to pushbuttons or GPIO lines |
| Independent 1.25V precision reference for PFI | Allows accurate monitoring of non-5V rails (e.g., +3.3V, +12V, or negative supplies) using simple resistor dividers |
| 200ms reset pulse width with 40mV hysteresis | Prevents spurious resets during marginal supply recovery and ensures full μP initialization time |
| Watchdog timeout independent of VCC level | Timer continues counting during brownout if VCC stays above 1V, enabling reliable software crash detection |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Control | Medical Diagnostic Instrument |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX706CUA+T | 4.40V reset threshold (vs. 4.65V); otherwise identical pinout, timing, and feature set | Better suited for systems using 4.5V–5.0V regulators with tighter tolerance margins | Select when VCC nominal is ≤4.75V and brownout margin must be lower than 4.65V |
| MAX813LCUA+T | Replaces WDO with active-high RESET output; same 4.65V threshold, 200ms pulse, and PFI/PFO functions | Required for μPs needing active-high reset (e.g., Intel 80C51, some ARM bootloaders) | Choose when host processor lacks internal inverter or requires high-true reset assertion |
Compared with MAX705CUA+T, MAX706CUA+T offers earlier reset assertion for lower-voltage rails, while MAX813LCUA+T eliminates need for external inverter logic - both retain identical µMAX packaging, manual reset, and power-fail monitoring capability.

FAQ
What is the reset threshold voltage of the MAX705CUA+T?
The MAX705CUA+T has a nominal reset threshold of 4.65V, with guaranteed limits of 4.50V (min) and 4.75V (max) over temperature. This threshold applies to the active-low RESET output and ensures reliable assertion during brownout conditions on +5V systems. The device also includes 40mV hysteresis to prevent chatter near the trip point. This specification is validated per Maxim's datasheet revision 11 (July 2018).
Does the MAX705CUA+T support operation below 5V supply?
Yes, the MAX705CUA+T operates from VCC = 1.0V to 5.5V and guarantees valid RESET output down to 1.0V (≤0.4V at 3.2mA sink). Its internal circuits remain functional at reduced supply voltages, enabling use in battery-backed or ultra-low-power supervision scenarios. However, the 4.65V reset threshold is specified only for VCC ≥ 4.75V; below that, reset behavior follows the internal bandgap reference scaling.
How does the watchdog timer function in the MAX705CUA+T?
The MAX705CUA+T watchdog timer asserts WDO low if the WDI input remains static (high or low) for longer than 1.6 seconds. It clears on any rising or falling edge at WDI, during RESET assertion, or when WDI is three-stated. Pulses as short as 50ns are detected. WDO is open-drain and also goes low during VCC brownout - independent of watchdog state - making it usable as a low-line indicator.
Can the MAX705CUA+T monitor voltages other than +5V?
Yes, the MAX705CUA+T uses a dedicated 1.25V precision reference for its PFI comparator, allowing monitoring of any voltage via an external resistor divider. For example, connecting a 10kΩ/2.2kΩ divider to a +12V rail yields ~2.2V at PFI - triggering PFO when the rail drops below ~11.0V. Hysteresis can be added by feeding PFO back to PFI through a high-value resistor, and noise immunity is enhanced with a capacitor from PFI to GND.
What is the package type and RoHS status of MAX705CUA+T?
The MAX705CUA+T is supplied in an 8-pin µMAX® package (3mm × 3mm, 0.8mm height) with exposed thermal pad. The "+T" suffix confirms lead-free, RoHS-compliant construction per Maxim's ordering conventions. This package is pin-compatible with other members of the MAX705–MAX708/MAX813L family in SO and DIP variants, though footprint and thermal characteristics differ.
