Product details
Overview
MAX705EUA+ from Maxim Integrated is a precision microprocessor supervisory circuit in an 8-pin µMAX 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 or MR is pulled low, and remains valid down to VCC = 1V - used in embedded controllers and industrial instrumentation for reliable power-up/down and brownout recovery.
For engineers reviewing the MAX705EUA+ datasheet, MAX705EUA+ pinout, MAX705EUA+ application, or MAX705EUA+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its -40°C to +85°C operating range, 4.65V reset threshold, watchdog timeout tolerance, PFI comparator accuracy, and µMAX footprint compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MAX705EUA+ integrates four core supervisory functions on a single die: a precision voltage monitor with 40mV hysteresis, a monostable watchdog timer triggered by WDI edge transitions, a high-impedance (±25nA) 1.25V reference-based power-fail comparator, and a TTL/CMOS-compatible MR input with internal 250µA pull-up. All logic outputs drive standard CMOS loads with guaranteed VOL ≤ 0.4V at ISINK = 3.2mA.
Its reset generator uses an internal RC timing network to ensure ≥140ms minimum pulse width after VCC rise or MR release, while the watchdog circuit detects pulses as narrow as 50ns and clears on any WDI transition, RESET assertion, or high-impedance state - enabling robust firmware supervision without external components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.65V ±150mV - triggers reset during brownout when +5V supply dips below safe µP operating level |
| Reset Pulse Width | 200ms typical - ensures full µP initialization and memory stabilization before release |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6s ±0.65s - provides sufficient time for firmware main loop execution while detecting hangs |
| PFI Threshold | 1.25V ±50mV - enables accurate early-warning detection of +5V regulator dropout or battery sag |
| Supply Current | 150–350µA - supports low-power operation in battery-backed systems without compromising supervision integrity |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - guarantees RESET validity down to 1V, enabling fail-safe behavior during deep brownout |
| MR Input Pull-Up | 250µA - eliminates need for external pull-up resistor and ensures clean TTL/CMOS-compatible switching |
Pinout & Package
The MAX705EUA+ is housed in an 8-pin µMAX package (outline 21-0036), measuring 3.0mm × 3.0mm × 0.8mm with exposed pad for thermal enhancement and RoHS-compliant lead-free finish (+ suffix).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (WDO) | Watchdog Output | Active-low open-drain output signaling watchdog timeout or VCC brownout; requires external pull-up |
| 2 (RESET) | Active-Low Reset Output | Push-pull output asserting guaranteed low-state reset pulse for µP initialization |
| 3 (WDI) | Watchdog Input | TTL/CMOS-compatible input that resets watchdog timer on rising/falling edges; floating disables timer |
| 4 (PFO) | Power-Fail Output | Active-low open-drain output indicating PFI < 1.25V; used for NMI or orderly shutdown signaling |
| 5 (PFI) | Power-Fail Input | High-impedance comparator input referenced to internal 1.25V bandgap; accepts voltage divider for multi-rail monitoring |
| 6 (GND) | Ground Reference | Common return path for all analog and digital functions; must be low-inductance connection |
| 7 (VCC) | +5V Supply Input | Primary power rail; powers internal circuitry and defines reset threshold reference |
| 8 (MR) | Manual-Reset Input | Active-low input with internal 250µA pull-up; debounced via 200ms reset pulse to prevent contact bounce issues |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guaranteed RESET Validity at VCC = 1V | Ensures fail-safe reset assertion even during severe brownout, preventing µP runaway before supply collapse |
| Debounced Manual-Reset Input | Eliminates need for external RC filter or firmware debounce logic, reducing BOM count and layout complexity |
| 1.25V Precision Power-Fail Comparator | Enables accurate early-warning detection of +5V dropout or battery voltage sag without external reference |
| 200ms Minimum Reset Pulse Width | Meets or exceeds most µP reset timing requirements (e.g., Intel 80C51, ARM Cortex-M) without external timing components |
| µMAX 8-Pin Package | Reduces board area by >60% vs. SO-8 and >75% vs. PDIP-8, critical for compact industrial and portable designs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX706EUA+ | 4.40V reset threshold (vs. 4.65V); identical pinout, timing, and feature set | Suitable for systems using lower-tolerance +5V regulators or requiring earlier reset assertion | Select MAX706EUA+ only if design requires reset at 4.40V; otherwise MAX705EUA+ matches standard +5V LDO dropout margins. |
| MAX813LEUA+ | Active-high RESET output (RESET) instead of active-low; same 4.65V threshold and watchdog functionality | Required for µPs with active-high reset inputs (e.g., legacy 80C51 derivatives) | Choose MAX813LEUA+ when interfacing to processors lacking active-low reset capability; no change to supervision logic or PCB layout needed. |
Compared with MAX706EUA+, the MAX705EUA+ provides higher reset threshold margin for standard +5V supplies; compared with MAX813LEUA+, it delivers direct compatibility with modern µPs requiring active-low reset assertion - simplifying interface design and eliminating level-shifting components.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed minimum reset pulse width for MAX705EUA+?
The MAX705EUA+ guarantees a minimum reset pulse width of 140ms, with a typical value of 200ms and maximum of 280ms. This timing ensures compatibility with most microprocessors' reset setup requirements, including ARM Cortex-M series and legacy 8051 derivatives. The pulse is generated internally and does not require external capacitors or resistors. The MAX705EUA+ maintains this specification across its full -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range and 1.0V to 5.5V supply voltage range.
Does MAX705EUA+ support watchdog functionality with automatic clearing on power-up?
Yes, the MAX705EUA+ watchdog timer automatically clears on power-up when VCC rises above the reset threshold, and also clears whenever the RESET signal is asserted, WDI is placed in high-impedance state, or a rising/falling edge is detected on WDI. This ensures the watchdog does not falsely trigger during startup or after a reset event. The MAX705EUA+ watchdog timeout period is 1.6 seconds ±0.65 seconds, and it detects input pulses as narrow as 50ns - making it suitable for real-time firmware supervision in safety-critical applications.
Can MAX705EUA+ monitor voltages other than +5V, such as +12V or negative rails?
Yes, the MAX705EUA+ can monitor voltages beyond +5V using the PFI input with an external resistor divider. For example, a +12V rail can be scaled to 1.25V at PFI to trigger PFO when the rail drops below ~11V. It can also monitor negative supplies by configuring PFI as the inverting input of a comparator with PFO driving an external transistor stage - as shown in Figure 7 of the datasheet. The MAX705EUA+ PFI input draws only ±25nA, minimizing loading error on precision divider networks.
What is the operating temperature range and package type of MAX705EUA+?
The MAX705EUA+ is rated for operation from -40°C to +85°C and is supplied in an 8-pin µMAX package (package code U8+1, outline 21-0036). This RoHS-compliant, lead-free package measures 3.0mm × 3.0mm × 0.8mm with an exposed thermal pad, offering superior thermal performance and board-space savings versus SO-8 or PDIP-8 alternatives. The "+" suffix explicitly denotes lead-free/RoHS-compliant packaging per Maxim's ordering convention.
How does the manual-reset input (MR) of MAX705EUA+ behave electrically?
The MR input of MAX705EUA+ is an active-low, TTL/CMOS-compatible pin with an internal 250µA pull-up current. Its logic thresholds are VIH ≥ 2.0V and VIL ≤ 0.8V at VCC = 5V, and it features built-in debouncing via the 200ms reset pulse - eliminating need for external RC filters. MR can be driven directly from logic outputs or momentary switches; when shorted to GND, it forces a full reset pulse regardless of VCC level. The MAX705EUA+ guarantees MR-to-RESET delay of ≤250ns, ensuring deterministic response.
