Product details
Overview
MAX706TCSA+T from Maxim Integrated is an active-low microprocessor supervisory circuit designed for +3V to +5V systems, providing reset generation (3.08V threshold), 1.6s watchdog timeout, 1.25V power-fail comparator input, and debounced manual-reset input - used in battery-powered instruments and portable controllers requiring reliable power-up sequencing and brownout protection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX706TCSA+T datasheet, MAX706TCSA+T pinout, MAX706TCSA+T application, or MAX706TCSA+T equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, confirmed SO-8 package mapping, validated pin roles, exact reset timing (200ms), and two field-validated alternative parts with documented technical differences.
Technical Context
The MAX706TCSA+T implements a precision voltage monitor with fixed 3.08V reset threshold (±1.5% over temperature), integrated 200ms reset timer, and independent watchdog circuit triggered by WDI transitions. Its PFI comparator uses an internal 1.25V reference with 10mV hysteresis for stable power-fail detection.
It features TTL/CMOS-compatible MR input with 500ns minimum pulse width at VCC = 3V, guaranteed RESET assertion down to VCC = 1V, and WDO output that asserts immediately on VCC dropout - distinct from the delayed RESET signal. The device operates across 0°C to +70°C and draws only 100µA quiescent current.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 3.08V ±1.5% - precisely monitors +3.3V supply rails during power-up/down and brownout |
| Reset Pulse Width | 200ms typical - ensures µP initialization completes before release from reset |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6s ±40% - provides fail-safe recovery window for firmware hang detection |
| Power-Fail Threshold | 1.25V internal reference - enables adjustable undervoltage warning via external resistor divider |
| Supply Current | 100µA max at VCC = 3.3V - supports long battery life in portable equipment |
| Operating Temp Range | 0°C to +70°C - qualified for commercial-grade embedded instrumentation |
| Package | 8-pin SO (S8-2) - surface-mount compatible with standard reflow profiles |
Pinout & Package
MAX706TCSA+T is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package, designated S8-2 per Maxim's ordering information, with gull-wing leads and standard 1.27mm pitch.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | MR (Manual Reset) | Active-low TTL/CMOS-compatible input; internally pulled up with 70µA current; triggers 200ms reset pulse when pulled below 0.6V |
| 2 | VCC | Positive supply input (3.15V to 5.5V); powers all internal circuits including reset generator and watchdog |
| 3 | GND | Ground reference for all analog and digital functions; must be low-impedance connection |
| 4 | PFI | Power-Fail Input - connects to resistive divider; comparator trips when voltage falls below 1.25V |
| 5 | PFO | Active-low Power-Fail Output - sinks current when PFI < 1.25V; used for early-warning interrupt or cascaded reset |
| 6 | WDI | Watchdog Input - requires rising/falling edge within 1.6s to prevent WDO assertion; high-impedance tolerant |
| 7 | WDO | Active-low Watchdog Output - asserts on timeout or VCC dropout; not directly connected to RESET |
| 8 | RESET | Active-low Reset Output - held low for ≥200ms after VCC exceeds 3.08V or MR release; guaranteed valid to VCC = 1V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guaranteed RESET assertion to VCC = 1V | Ensures deterministic reset behavior during deep brownout, preventing µP runaway before full power collapse |
| Debounced MR input with 500ns min pulse width | Eliminates need for external RC debounce; supports direct pushbutton or logic-level triggering |
| 1.25V precision PFI reference with 10mV hysteresis | Enables stable power-fail detection without oscillation near trip point, even with noisy supplies |
| WDI disable on high-impedance state | Allows safe watchdog deactivation when µP enters low-power mode with tri-stated I/O |
| 200ms factory-trimmed reset delay | Removes external timing components and eliminates variation due to capacitor tolerance/aging |
Applications
| Portable Medical Instrumentation | Industrial PLC I/O Module |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX706RCSA+ | Lower 2.63V reset threshold; identical pinout, timing, and feature set | Suitable for +2.7V–3.0V systems where 3.08V threshold would cause premature reset assertion | Select when monitoring lower-voltage rails; no PCB changes required |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V reset threshold (±0.5%), 350ms reset delay, 2.5µA quiescent current, no watchdog function | Lacks WDI/WDO; optimized for ultra-low-power battery operation rather than watchdog-reliant systems | Choose when watchdog is unnecessary and sub-10µA supply current is critical |
Compared with MAX706RCSA+, the MAX706TCSA+T offers higher reset threshold for tighter regulation of +3.3V rails; compared with TPS3808G33DBVR, it retains watchdog capability essential for safety-critical firmware supervision but consumes more current.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for MAX706TCSA+T?
The MAX706TCSA+T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 3.08V, with ±1.5% tolerance over the full 0°C to +70°C operating range. This value is specified for VCC falling conditions and ensures reliable assertion of the active-low RESET signal when the monitored +3.3V supply drops below nominal regulation. The threshold is fixed and non-adjustable.
Does MAX706TCSA+T include a watchdog timer function?
Yes, MAX706TCSA+T includes a watchdog timer with a nominal timeout period of 1.6 seconds. It monitors the WDI pin for transitions and asserts the active-low WDO output if no edge occurs within that window. The watchdog cannot be disabled - unlike the MAX706AT variant - making it suitable for applications requiring always-on supervision.
What package type and footprint does MAX706TCSA+T use?
MAX706TCSA+T is supplied in an 8-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package, identified by Maxim as S8-2. It features gull-wing leads, 1.27mm lead pitch, and standard JEDEC MS-012AC dimensions - fully compatible with automated SMT assembly and reflow soldering processes.
Can MAX706TCSA+T monitor a power supply other than VCC?
Yes, MAX706TCSA+T can monitor secondary supplies via its PFI (Power-Fail Input) pin. By connecting PFI to a resistive divider from an unregulated or auxiliary rail, the internal 1.25V comparator detects when that rail falls below the trip point, asserting the active-low PFO output - enabling early-warning power-fail detection independent of VCC.
Is the RESET output of MAX706TCSA+T guaranteed to function below 3.3V supply?
Yes, MAX706TCSA+T guarantees RESET assertion down to VCC = 1V, ensuring robust reset behavior during severe brownout or slow power-down. The output remains valid and actively driven low until VCC drops below 1V, after which it transitions to high-impedance - a key reliability feature for systems with variable input conditions.
