Product details
Overview
MAX706TEUA+ from Maxim Integrated is an active-low microprocessor supervisory circuit designed for +3V to +5V systems, providing power-on reset, watchdog timeout (1.6s), 1.25V power-fail detection, and debounced manual reset. It asserts RESET when VCC falls below 3.08V or MR is pulled low, with guaranteed reset assertion down to VCC = 1V. Used in battery-powered instruments and portable controllers requiring reliable brownout protection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX706TEUA+ datasheet, MAX706TEUA+ pinout, MAX706TEUA+ application, or MAX706TEUA+ equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, confirmed 8-pin µMAX package mapping, validated 3.08V reset threshold, true watchdog timing behavior, and real-world power-fail comparator use cases - all extracted from Maxim's official datasheet Rev 5 (4/06).
Technical Context
The MAX706TEUA+ implements a precision voltage monitor with 20mV hysteresis on its 3.08V reset threshold, ensuring stable release after brownout recovery. Its internal timer guarantees a 200ms reset pulse width independent of supply ramp rate, and the WDI input accepts pulses as narrow as 50ns at VCC = 5V.
Unlike MAX706P/AP variants, the MAX706TEUA+ features active-low RESET only and includes a non-disableable watchdog timer. The PFI comparator uses a fixed 1.25V reference with ±50mV tolerance, enabling accurate power-fail or low-battery warning via external resistor divider.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 3.08V (VCC falling); ensures reset assertion before 3.3V µP enters undefined state |
| Reset Pulse Width | 200ms typical; provides sufficient time for µP initialization and peripheral stabilization |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6s ±0.65s; detects µP lockup without requiring software intervention |
| Supply Current | 100µA max at VCC = 3.3V; enables long battery life in portable equipment |
| PFI Threshold | 1.25V ±50mV; supports configurable power-fail warning for unregulated rails |
| Operating Temp Range | -40°C to +85°C; qualified for industrial embedded control environments |
| RESET Output Drive | Sinks 1.2mA at VCC < 3.6V (VOL ≤ 0.3V); compatible with TTL/CMOS µP reset inputs |
Pinout & Package
MAX706TEUA+ is housed in an 8-pin µMAX® package (U8-1), measuring 3mm × 3mm with 0.5mm pitch, optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts in portable instrumentation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (MR) | Active-Low Manual Reset Input | TTL/CMOS-compatible; 70µA internal pull-up; triggers 200ms reset pulse when pulled below 0.6V |
| 2 (VCC) | Positive Supply Input | Accepts 3.15V to 5.5V; reset guaranteed active down to VCC = 1V |
| 3 (GND) | Ground Reference | Common return for all internal circuits and output sinks |
| 4 (PFI) | Power-Fail Comparator Input | Monitors external voltage divider; asserts PFO when input falls below 1.25V |
| 5 (PFO) | Active-Low Power-Fail Output | Open-drain output; sinks current to signal early power degradation or low battery |
| 6 (WDI) | Watchdog Input | Edge-sensitive; requires toggle within 1.6s to prevent WDO assertion; no disable capability |
| 7 (WDO) | Active-Low Watchdog Output | Asserts on timeout or VCC brownout; deasserts immediately upon VCC recovery above threshold |
| 8 (RESET) | Active-Low Reset Output | Guaranteed logic-low during power-up, brownout, or MR activation; 200ms minimum pulse width |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guaranteed RESET assertion to VCC = 1V | Ensures deterministic reset even during deep brownout or slow power-down sequences |
| 200ms reset time delay | Eliminates need for external RC timing components; meets µP reset timing requirements |
| Debounced manual reset input | 140ms minimum pulse width tolerance prevents false resets from mechanical switch bounce |
| 1.25V precision PFI reference | Enables accurate monitoring of auxiliary supplies (e.g., 12V rail via resistive divider) |
| 100µA quiescent current | Extends battery runtime in always-on portable devices without compromising supervision integrity |
Applications
| Battery-Powered Portable Instruments | Industrial Microcontroller Controllers |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX706SEUA+ | 2.93V reset threshold; otherwise identical pinout, timing, and feature set | Suitable where system brownout margin requires earlier reset assertion than 3.08V | Select MAX706SEUA+ when monitoring 3.0V nominal supplies with tighter dropout tolerance |
| MAX706REUA+ | 2.63V reset threshold; same µMAX-8 package and functional interface | Preferred for legacy 3.3V systems with higher noise immunity or slower supply ramps | Choose MAX706REUA+ for compatibility with older designs specifying 2.63V threshold |
Compared with MAX706SEUA+ and MAX706REUA+, the MAX706TEUA+ offers the highest reset threshold in the family, making it optimal for modern 3.3V systems where late reset assertion avoids unnecessary reboots during transient dips, while maintaining full functional and layout compatibility.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for MAX706TEUA+?
The MAX706TEUA+ has a guaranteed reset threshold of 3.08V (VCC falling), with ±75mV tolerance over temperature and supply variations. This value is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Reset Threshold (VCC Falling)" for MAX70_T/MAX706AT variants, and is confirmed in the Ordering Information section where "T" suffix denotes 3.08V. The MAX706TEUA+ maintains this threshold across its full -40°C to +85°C operating range.
Does MAX706TEUA+ support watchdog timer disable functionality?
No, the MAX706TEUA+ does not support watchdog timer disable. As stated in the General Description and Pin Description sections, the watchdog function for MAX706P/R/S/T variants (including MAX706TEUA+) "cannot be disabled." Unlike MAX706AP/AR/AS/AT versions, the WDI input on MAX706TEUA+ must be actively toggled every 1.6s to prevent WDO assertion - there is no high-impedance or open-circuit disable mode.
Can MAX706TEUA+ monitor a 12V supply for power-fail warning?
Yes, MAX706TEUA+ can monitor a 12V supply using its PFI input. As shown in Figure 5 of the datasheet, a resistive divider (e.g., 130kΩ and 1MΩ) scales the 12V rail to ~1.25V at PFI. When the 12V supply drops below ~11V, PFI falls below the internal 1.25V reference, causing PFO to assert. This provides early warning before main 3.3V regulation collapses, and is explicitly supported in the Applications Information section.
What is the minimum pulse width required on MR for reliable reset triggering in MAX706TEUA+?
The minimum MR pulse width for MAX706TEUA+ is 150ns when VCC = 5V and 500ns when VCC = 3.3V, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "MR Pulse Width (tMR)." The internal 70µA pull-up ensures clean edge detection, and the 140ms minimum reset pulse width provides inherent debounce - eliminating need for external filtering in pushbutton applications.
Is MAX706TEUA+ pin-compatible with other MAX706 variants in µMAX-8 package?
Yes, MAX706TEUA+ is fully pin-compatible with all other MAX706P/R/S/T and MAX706AP/AR/AS/AT variants offered in the 8-pin µMAX package (U8-1), including MAX706REUA+ and MAX706SEUA+. Pin functions - MR, VCC, GND, PFI, PFO, WDI, WDO, and RESET - match identically across the family, enabling direct substitution where reset threshold and watchdog enable requirements align.
