Product details
Overview
The MAX705ESA+T from Maxim Integrated is a precision microprocessor supervisory circuit in 8-pin SO package, providing active-low reset output, 1.6s watchdog timeout, 4.65V supply-voltage monitoring, 1.25V power-fail comparator input, and debounced manual-reset input - used to ensure reliable boot-up and brownout recovery in embedded controllers and industrial instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX705ESA+T datasheet, MAX705ESA+T pinout, MAX705ESA+T application, or MAX705ESA+T equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, temperature-rated operating parameters (–40°C to +85°C), true reset pulse width (200ms), watchdog timing behavior, and validated alternative parts for μP power-monitoring designs.
Technical Context
The MAX705ESA+T integrates four core supervisory functions: a voltage-monitoring reset generator with 4.65V threshold and 40mV hysteresis, a 1.6s watchdog timer that triggers WDO on missing WDI edges, a 1.25V reference-based power-fail comparator driving PFO, and a TTL/CMOS-compatible MR input with internal 250μA pull-up and 150ns minimum pulse width.
Its RESET output remains valid down to VCC = 1V (guaranteed ≤0.3V at ISINK = 50μA), and all outputs are rail-to-rail compatible with 5V systems. The device operates across VCC = 1.0V to 5.5V and draws only 150–350μA typical supply current, enabling use in battery-backed and low-power μP systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.65V ±150mV - ensures reset assertion before +5V supply drops below safe μP operating margin |
| Reset Pulse Width | 200ms nominal - meets Intel 80C51 and similar μP minimum reset hold-time requirements |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6s ±0.65s - provides sufficient window for firmware housekeeping without false timeouts |
| Power-Fail Input Threshold | 1.25V ±50mV - enables accurate early-warning detection of +5V regulator dropout via external divider |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - supports operation during deep brownout and guarantees RESET validity at 1V |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded control and instrumentation environments |
| Package | 8-pin SO (Small Outline) - RoHS-compliant, surface-mountable, footprint-compatible with industry-standard 8SO layouts |
Pinout & Package
MAX705ESA+T is housed in an 8-pin SO (Small Outline) package, 3.9mm × 4.9mm body, 1.27mm pitch, RoHS-compliant lead-free construction (indicated by '+' suffix).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (MR) | Manual-Reset Input | Active-low TTL/CMOS-compatible trigger; internal 250μA pull-up enables switch or logic-line drive; debounced by ≥140ms reset pulse |
| 2 (VCC) | Positive Supply Input | +5V (or 1.0–5.5V) main power rail; powers all internal comparators, timer, and outputs |
| 3 (GND) | Ground Reference | 0V return for all analog and digital circuitry; must be low-impedance for stable reset threshold accuracy |
| 4 (PFI) | Power-Fail Input | Comparator inverting input referenced to 1.25V; monitors external voltage dividers for early power-loss warning |
| 5 (PFO) | Power-Fail Output | Open-drain active-low output; sinks current when PFI < 1.25V - used for μP interrupt or backup switchover control |
| 6 (WDI) | Watchdog Input | Edge-sensitive input; toggling required within 1.6s to prevent WDO assertion; floating disables watchdog |
| 7 (RESET) | Active-Low Reset Output | Push-pull output; guaranteed low (≤0.4V) at ISINK = 3.2mA; pulses low for 200ms on power-up/brownout/manual trigger |
| 8 (WDO) | Watchdog Output | Open-drain active-low output; asserts when watchdog times out or VCC falls below reset threshold; 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 nonvolatile memory write protection |
| Integrated 1.25V precision reference | Allows accurate, temperature-stable power-fail detection across –40°C to +85°C without external components |
| Debounced manual-reset input | Eliminates need for external RC filtering or Schmitt-trigger logic - reduces BOM count and board space |
| Watchdog timeout with edge-triggered clear | Prevents spurious resets from noise; rising/falling edges on WDI fully reset timer - robust against signal glitches |
| Separate PFO and WDO outputs | Enables independent handling of power-fail interrupts and watchdog faults - avoids conflict in NMI-driven systems |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar μP supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX706ESA+T | 4.40V reset threshold (vs. 4.65V); identical pinout, timing, and feature set | Better suited for systems with tighter +5V tolerance or lower-noise regulators where earlier reset assertion is needed | Select MAX706ESA+T when VCC droop must trigger reset at 4.40V rather than 4.65V - no layout change required |
| MAX813LESA+T | Active-high RESET output only (no active-low RESET); same 4.65V threshold, 1.6s watchdog, and PFI/PFO functions | Required for μPs with active-high reset inputs (e.g., Intel 80C51), eliminating need for external inverter | Choose MAX813LESA+T when system design mandates active-high reset polarity - direct functional replacement with same footprint |
Compared with MAX705ESA+T, MAX706ESA+T offers earlier reset assertion for marginal supplies, while MAX813LESA+T removes the active-low RESET output to simplify interface with legacy μPs - both retain full watchdog, PFI, and MR functionality in the same SO-8 package.

FAQ
What is the reset threshold voltage of the MAX705ESA+T?
The MAX705ESA+T has a nominal reset threshold of 4.65V with ±150mV tolerance over temperature. This means RESET asserts when VCC falls below approximately 4.50V and releases after VCC rises above ~4.75V, providing hysteresis to prevent chatter near the trip point. The threshold is factory-trimmed and guaranteed across –40°C to +85°C operation.
Does the MAX705ESA+T support operation below 5V supply?
Yes, the MAX705ESA+T operates from VCC = 1.0V to 5.5V. Its RESET output remains valid down to VCC = 1V (guaranteed ≤0.3V at 50μA sink), making it suitable for brownout detection in battery-powered or multi-rail systems. However, the 4.65V reset function only activates when VCC exceeds ~1.5V - below that, RESET is high-impedance.
How does the watchdog timer in the MAX705ESA+T work?
The MAX705ESA+T watchdog timer requires a rising or falling edge on WDI at least once every 1.6 seconds (±0.65s). If no edge occurs, WDO goes low. The timer clears on any RESET assertion, WDI three-state, or WDI edge. Pulses as short as 50ns are detected - enabling robust firmware heartbeat monitoring without tight timing constraints.
Can the MAX705ESA+T monitor voltages other than +5V?
Yes, the MAX705ESA+T's PFI pin accepts any voltage referenced to GND. By connecting a resistor divider from a target supply (e.g., +12V or –5V) to PFI, the 1.25V internal comparator detects when that supply crosses its threshold. Application circuits in the datasheet show how to configure PFI for positive, negative, or battery-supply monitoring with optional hysteresis.
Is the MAX705ESA+T pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX705–MAX708 family?
Yes, the MAX705ESA+T shares identical 8-pin SO pinout with MAX706ESA+T, MAX707ESA+T, MAX708ESA+T, and MAX813LESA+T. All variants maintain the same MR, VCC, GND, PFI, PFO, WDI, RESET, and WDO assignments. Differences are internal (reset threshold, output polarity, watchdog presence) - allowing drop-in substitution where function matches.
