Product details
Overview
MAX705ESA+TGA5 from Maxim Integrated is a precision microprocessor supervisory circuit in 8-pin SO package, providing active-low reset output (4.65V threshold), 1.6s watchdog timeout, 1.25V power-fail comparator input, and debounced manual-reset input - used to ensure reliable boot and brownout recovery in industrial controllers and embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX705ESA+TGA5 datasheet, MAX705ESA+TGA5 pinout, MAX705ESA+TGA5 application, or MAX705ESA+TGA5 equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, validated timing parameters, confirmed package mapping (SO-8), and real-world design implications for power-monitoring and reset integrity in 5V µP systems.
Technical Context
The MAX705ESA+TGA5 integrates four core supervisory functions on a single die: a voltage-monitoring reset generator with 4.65V ±150mV threshold and 200ms guaranteed pulse width; a watchdog timer that triggers WDO low if WDI remains static beyond 1.6s; a 1.25V precision comparator for PFI-based power-fail or low-battery warning; and a TTL/CMOS-compatible MR input with internal 250µA pull-up and 150ns minimum pulse width support.
It operates across –40°C to +85°C, guarantees RESET validity down to VCC = 1V (0.4V max sink voltage at 50µA), draws only 150–350µA supply current, and features open-drain WDO and PFO outputs with 0.4V max low-level voltage at 1.2mA sink - enabling direct interface to NMI lines or external logic without level-shifting.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.65V ±150mV - ensures deterministic reset assertion before 5V rail collapse affects µP operation |
| Reset Pulse Width | 200ms typ (140–280ms min–max) - provides sufficient time for µP initialization and peripheral stabilization |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6s ±0.65s - balances fault detection responsiveness against false triggers from transient software stalls |
| PFI Threshold | 1.25V ±50mV - enables accurate early-warning monitoring of +5V or scaled-down supplies via external divider |
| Supply Current | 150–350µA (TA = –40°C to +85°C) - supports low-power battery-backed or always-on supervision |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - allows valid RESET assertion during deep brownout, critical for safe shutdown sequencing |
| MR Input Pull-Up | 250µA typical - eliminates need for external pull-up resistor when using pushbutton switch |
Pinout & Package
MAX705ESA+TGA5 is housed in an 8-pin SO (Small Outline) package, RoHS-compliant, with 1.27mm lead pitch and surface-mount footprint per outline S8+2 (Maxim document 21-0041). Pin 1 is marked by notch or dot; device orientation follows standard SO convention.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (MR) | Manual-Reset Input | Active-low TTL/CMOS-compatible trigger; internal 250µA pull-up enables direct pushbutton use without external resistor |
| 2 (VCC) | +5V Supply Input | Primary power rail connection; RESET remains valid down to 1.0V, supporting brownout-safe assertion |
| 3 (GND) | Ground Reference | Common return for all analog and digital functions; must be low-impedance for stable comparator reference |
| 4 (PFI) | Power-Fail Input | High-impedance (±25nA) comparator input referenced to 1.25V; accepts voltage dividers for multi-rail monitoring |
| 5 (PFO) | Power-Fail Output | Open-drain output asserted low when PFI < 1.25V; sinks up to 3.2mA, compatible with µP interrupt inputs |
| 6 (WDI) | Watchdog Input | Edge-sensitive input; toggling within 1.6s prevents WDO timeout; floating disables watchdog function |
| 7 (RESET) | Active-Low Reset Output | Push-pull or open-drain configurable (per design); guaranteed low ≤0.4V at 50µA down to VCC = 1V |
| 8 (WDO) | Watchdog Output | Open-drain output asserted low on timeout or VCC brownout; no minimum pulse width - fast release on recovery |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guaranteed RESET Validity at VCC = 1V | Enables fail-safe reset assertion during deep undervoltage conditions where most µPs lose functionality |
| Debounced Manual-Reset Input | 140ms minimum reset pulse width inherently filters mechanical switch bounce without external RC network |
| Independent Power-Fail Comparator | Uncommitted PFI/PFO pair allows flexible early-warning generation for +12V, negative rails, or battery voltage via external scaling |
| Watchdog Timer with Edge-Triggered Clear | WDI rising/falling edges reset timer - supports periodic software "kick" without requiring precise timing windows |
| Low Quiescent Current (150–350µA) | Minimizes impact on battery life in backup-supervised systems while maintaining full supervisory coverage |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX706ESA+TGA5 | 4.40V reset threshold (vs. 4.65V); identical pinout, timing, and feature set | Suitable for systems with tighter 5V tolerance or lower-voltage µPs requiring earlier reset assertion | Select MAX706ESA+TGA5 only if design requires reset at 4.40V; otherwise MAX705ESA+TGA5 ensures compatibility with standard 5V ±5% rails. |
| MAX813LESA+TGA5 | Active-high RESET output (RESET) instead of active-low; same 4.65V threshold, watchdog, and PFI functions | Required for µPs like Intel 80C51 that mandate active-high reset polarity | Choose MAX813LESA+TGA5 when interfacing with legacy µPs needing high-true reset; MAX705ESA+TGA5 remains optimal for modern CMOS µPs with active-low reset inputs. |
Compared with MAX706ESA+TGA5 and MAX813LESA+TGA5, the MAX705ESA+TGA5 offers the industry-standard 4.65V reset threshold for +5V systems, maintains active-low reset compatibility with most contemporary microcontrollers, and shares identical SO-8 packaging and thermal performance - making it the default choice for general-purpose 5V µP supervision.

FAQ
What is the reset threshold voltage of the MAX705ESA+TGA5?
The MAX705ESA+TGA5 has a nominal reset threshold of 4.65V, with a guaranteed range of 4.50V to 4.75V across –40°C to +85°C. This ensures reliable reset assertion before the +5V supply falls outside its specified ±5% tolerance band, preserving µP state integrity during brownout conditions. The MAX705ESA+TGA5 uses this fixed threshold - unlike variants such as MAX706ESA+TGA5 (4.40V) or MAX706R (adjustable).
Does the MAX705ESA+TGA5 provide both active-low and active-high reset outputs?
No, the MAX705ESA+TGA5 provides only an active-low RESET output (pin 7). It does not include the complementary active-high RESET output found in MAX707/MAX708/MAX813L variants. For designs requiring active-high reset, MAX813LESA+TGA5 is the functionally matched alternative with identical 4.65V threshold and watchdog capability - but distinct output polarity. The MAX705ESA+TGA5's single RESET output is optimized for standard µP reset inputs.
Can the MAX705ESA+TGA5 monitor voltages other than +5V?
Yes, the MAX705ESA+TGA5 can monitor any DC voltage using its PFI (Power-Fail Input) pin, which compares against an internal 1.25V reference. By connecting a resistive voltage divider between the target rail and GND, designers scale the monitored voltage to fall within the 1.25V window - e.g., a +12V rail can be scaled with 9.6kΩ/1.2kΩ resistors. The MAX705ESA+TGA5's high-impedance PFI input (±25nA) minimizes loading, and its open-drain PFO output interfaces directly with µP interrupt lines.
What is the watchdog timeout period for the MAX705ESA+TGA5?
The MAX705ESA+TGA5 features a fixed watchdog timeout period of 1.6 seconds, with a typical tolerance of ±0.65s (1.00s to 2.25s min–max). This timeout is triggered when the WDI (Watchdog Input) pin remains static - neither rising nor falling - for longer than 1.6s. The timer clears on any WDI edge, MR assertion, or VCC brownout, ensuring robust response to software hangs without false triggers from brief delays. This behavior is identical across all MAX705 variants including MAX705ESA+TGA5.
Is the MAX705ESA+TGA5 RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the MAX705ESA+TGA5 is RoHS-compliant and lead-free. The "+" suffix in the part number explicitly denotes lead(Pb)-free/RoHS-compliant packaging per Maxim Integrated's ordering convention. It is supplied in an 8-pin SO package (package code S8+2) with matte tin lead finish, qualified for reflow soldering at +260°C peak temperature. No leaded version is offered for this specific variant - the "+" is integral to the orderable part number MAX705ESA+TGA5.
