Product details
Overview
MAX707CPA+ from Maxim Integrated is a microprocessor supervisory circuit providing active-high reset output, power-fail monitoring, manual-reset input, and watchdog timer disable (replaced by active-high RESET), with 4.65V reset threshold, 200ms reset pulse width, and guaranteed RESET validity down to VCC = 1V. It monitors +5V supply integrity in embedded controllers and industrial microprocessor systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX707CPA+ datasheet, MAX707CPA+ pinout, MAX707CPA+ application, or MAX707CPA+ equivalent, key selection criteria include reset threshold accuracy (4.65V ±150mV), active-high reset polarity, absence of watchdog output, PFI comparator reference (1.25V), and DIP-8 package compatibility with legacy through-hole designs.
Technical Context
The MAX707CPA+ integrates four core supervisory functions: precision voltage monitoring with hysteresis (40mV), debounced TTL/CMOS-compatible manual-reset input (150ns minimum pulse width), 1.25V power-fail comparator for external rail monitoring, and active-high RESET output asserted when VCC falls below 4.65V or MR is pulled low.
Unlike the MAX705/MAX706, the MAX707CPA+ substitutes active-high RESET for watchdog output-no WDO pin is present-and retains PFO for power-fail warning. Its internal 250µA MR pull-up current enables direct pushbutton interface without external components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.65V ±150mV - ensures reliable reset assertion before +5V supply brownout affects µP operation |
| Reset Pulse Width | 200ms typical - meets Intel 80C51 and similar µP minimum reset duration requirements |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - guarantees RESET validity during ultra-low-VCC brownout recovery |
| PFI Threshold | 1.25V ±50mV - enables accurate power-fail detection on auxiliary rails via external divider |
| Supply Current | 50µA typical at VCC = 5V - supports low-power battery-backed systems |
| MR Input Threshold | 0.8V low / 2.0V high - compatible with TTL and CMOS logic levels without level-shifting |
| RESET Output Drive | ISINK = 1.2mA @ 0.4V - sufficient to drive standard µP reset inputs directly |
Pinout & Package
MAX707CPA+ is housed in an 8-pin plastic DIP (dual in-line package) with 0.3-inch body width and through-hole mounting. Pin 1 is marked with a notch or dot; pin numbering follows standard counter-clockwise layout from top view.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 MR | Manual-Reset Input | Active-low TTL/CMOS-compatible input with 250µA internal pull-up; triggers 200ms RESET pulse when pulled below 0.8V |
| 2 VCC | +5V Supply Input | Main power supply connection; device operates from 1.0V to 5.5V; RESET remains valid down to 1.0V |
| 3 GND | Ground Reference | 0V return path for all internal circuits and I/O pins |
| 4 PFI | Power-Fail Input | Comparator non-inverting input referenced to 1.25V; used to monitor auxiliary supplies (e.g., +12V via divider) |
| 5 PFO | Power-Fail Output | Open-drain active-low output asserting when PFI < 1.25V; sinks up to 3.2mA for µP interrupt signaling |
| 6 N.C. | No Connect | Internally unconnected pin; must be left floating or tied to GND per layout best practice |
| 7 RESET | Active-High Reset Output | Push-pull output asserting high during reset condition; compatible with µPs requiring active-high reset (e.g., 80C51) |
| 8 VCC | +5V Supply Input | Duplicate VCC pin for improved power delivery and reduced trace inductance in DIP layout |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guaranteed RESET validity at VCC = 1V | Enables robust brownout recovery in low-voltage systems where supply may dip transiently below 2V |
| Debounced MR input with 150ns minimum pulse width | Eliminates need for external RC debounce circuitry when using mechanical pushbuttons |
| 1.25V precision PFI reference with ±50mV tolerance | Supports accurate early-warning power-fail detection on any DC rail using simple resistor divider |
| Active-high RESET output (no watchdog) | Direct interface to µPs requiring high-asserted reset (e.g., Intel 80C51, Zilog Z8) without external inverter |
| Lead-free/RoHS-compliant packaging (+ suffix) | Meets global environmental compliance requirements without performance or reliability trade-offs |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Controllers | Medical Diagnostic Equipment |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX707CSA+ | Same electrical specs but in 8-pin SOIC package; no lead-to-lead compatibility with DIP footprint | Preferred for surface-mount production; requires PCB redesign for pad layout and thermal relief | Select MAX707CSA+ only when migrating to SMT assembly and reworking layout is feasible. |
| MAX813LCPA+ | Includes watchdog timer (WDO) and active-high RESET; identical 4.65V threshold and 200ms pulse width | Required where µP watchdog supervision is mandatory (e.g., ISO 26262 ASIL-B systems) | Choose MAX813LCPA+ if watchdog functionality is needed; MAX707CPA+ lacks WDO and cannot substitute. |
Compared with MAX707CPA+, MAX707CSA+ offers identical supervision features in SOIC for space-constrained boards, while MAX813LCPA+ adds watchdog capability at the cost of increased complexity-neither is pin-compatible, and both require explicit functional validation for drop-in replacement.

FAQ
What is the reset threshold voltage for MAX707CPA+ and how tightly is it specified?
The MAX707CPA+ has a nominal reset threshold of 4.65V with a guaranteed tolerance of ±150mV (4.50V to 4.75V) over the full operating temperature range (0°C to +70°C). This specification ensures consistent reset behavior across voltage and temperature variations in +5V systems, and is validated per Maxim's Electrical Characteristics table in the official datasheet.
Does MAX707CPA+ include a watchdog timer function?
No, the MAX707CPA+ does not include a watchdog timer. Unlike the MAX705/MAX706/MAX813L, the MAX707CPA+ replaces the watchdog output (WDO) with an active-high RESET output. Pin 6 is designated N.C. (no connect), and there is no watchdog timeout period or WDI input-this is a deliberate functional distinction confirmed in the Pin Description and Block Diagram sections of the datasheet.
Can MAX707CPA+ monitor voltages other than +5V, such as +12V or negative rails?
Yes, MAX707CPA+ can monitor non-+5V rails using its PFI input. The internal 1.25V comparator reference allows external resistor dividers to scale higher voltages (e.g., +12V) down to the 1.25V threshold. For negative rails, the datasheet provides a verified circuit using an external transistor and resistors to invert the PFO logic-enabling reliable negative supply monitoring with documented accuracy dependencies.
What is the minimum supply voltage at which MAX707CPA+ guarantees valid RESET output?
The MAX707CPA+ guarantees valid RESET output down to VCC = 1.0V, as explicitly stated in the Benefits and Features section and confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table. At VCC = 1.0V, RESET remains a logic-low output (≤0.3V) with ISINK = 50µA, enabling robust operation during deep brownout conditions where many µPs lose functionality above 1.5V.
Is MAX707CPA+ RoHS-compliant and what does the '+' suffix indicate?
Yes, the '+' suffix in MAX707CPA+ denotes lead-free, RoHS-compliant packaging per Maxim Integrated's ordering conventions. This version uses matte tin lead finish and meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL-1) requirements. The '+' is required at order time to specify RoHS compliance-standard MAX707CPA (without '+') is leaded.
