Product details
Overview
The MAX707CSA+T 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). It asserts RESET when VCC drops below 4.65V, delivers a guaranteed 200ms reset pulse width, and maintains valid RESET down to VCC = 1V - used in embedded controllers and industrial instrumentation for reliable power-up sequencing and brownout recovery.
For engineers reviewing the MAX707CSA+T datasheet, MAX707CSA+T pinout, MAX707CSA+T application, or MAX707CSA+T equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, package mapping to 8-pin SO, functional distinctions from MAX705/MAX706, and real-world use cases in critical μP power monitoring systems where deterministic reset timing and low-voltage validity are required.
Technical Context
The MAX707CSA+T integrates four core supervisory functions: precision 4.65V supply-voltage monitoring with 40mV hysteresis, debounced TTL/CMOS-compatible active-low manual-reset input (MR), 1.25V threshold power-fail comparator (PFI/PFO), and active-high RESET output replacing the watchdog timer found in MAX705/MAX706. Unlike its watchdog-equipped siblings, it omits WDI/WDO pins and substitutes RESET for WDO on Pin 8.
Its internal reset generator guarantees logic-valid RESET output at VCC ≥ 1V, supports reset assertion during power-down until VCC falls below 1V, and provides 250μA internal MR pull-up current. The PFI comparator operates independently of VCC regulation and enables early-warning detection for +5V or auxiliary supplies via external voltage dividers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.65V ±150mV - triggers reset during brownout on +5V systems; matches standard TTL/CMOS logic supply tolerance. |
| Reset Pulse Width | 200ms nominal - ensures full μP initialization and memory stabilization before release. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - enables valid reset assertion even during deep brownout or battery backup operation. |
| Power-Fail Threshold | 1.25V ±50mV - allows precise early-warning detection of +5V rail collapse using simple resistor divider. |
| Manual-Reset Input Current | 250μA pull-up - eliminates need for external pull-up; compatible with pushbutton switches and CMOS logic drivers. |
| Quiescent Supply Current | 50μA to 350μA - minimizes standby power draw in battery-backed systems. |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to +70°C - qualified for commercial-grade embedded control applications. |
Pinout & Package
MAX707CSA+T is housed in an 8-pin SO (Small Outline) package, RoHS-compliant with lead-free finish (+ suffix), footprint-compatible with industry-standard SOIC-8 land patterns.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 MR | Active-Low Manual-Reset Input | Triggers 200ms RESET pulse when pulled below 0.8V; internally pulled up with 250μA current. |
| 2 VCC | +5V Supply Input | Primary power source; RESET remains valid down to 1.0V supply level. |
| 3 GND | Ground Reference | Common return path for all analog and digital functions; must be low-impedance. |
| 4 PFI | Power-Fail Input | Monitors external voltage via 1.25V comparator; asserts PFO low when input < 1.25V. |
| 5 PFO | Power-Fail Output | Open-drain active-low output; used for NMI interrupt or system shutdown signaling. |
| 6 RESET | Active-High Reset Output | Inverted logic version of RESET; drives high after 200ms delay post-VCC rise above 4.65V. |
| 7 RESET | Active-Low Reset Output | Standard μP reset signal; guaranteed low ≤0.4V at ISINK = 3.2mA; asserted until VCC > 4.65V + hysteresis. |
| 8 N.C. | No Connect | Unused pin; electrically isolated - no internal connection or function. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guaranteed RESET Validity at VCC = 1V | Enables fail-safe reset assertion during severe brownout or battery-depleted conditions. |
| 200ms Reset Pulse Width | Meets minimum reset duration requirements for Intel 80C51, ARM Cortex-M0+, and similar μPs. |
| 1.25V Precision Power-Fail Comparator | Supports configurable early-warning detection for +5V, +12V, or negative rails without external references. |
| Debounced Manual-Reset Input | Eliminates need for external RC debounce circuitry; compatible with mechanical switches and logic-level signals. |
| 40mV Reset Threshold Hysteresis | Prevents oscillatory reset assertion during slow VCC ramp-up or noise-induced threshold crossings. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Controller | Medical Diagnostic Instrument |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Power cycling during firmware update in a DIN-rail mounted programmable logic controller. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervisory circuit asserting active-high RESET to hold CPU in known state until +5V rail stabilizes post-power-on. Use Value: Prevents corrupted register writes and flash programming errors by guaranteeing 200ms minimum reset hold time at VCC ≥ 1V. |
Use Scenario: Battery-backed data acquisition module requiring orderly shutdown upon AC loss. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: PFI monitors +5V rail via voltage divider; PFO triggers NMI interrupt to initiate safe memory save before power collapse. Use Value: 1.25V comparator accuracy enables 50mV margin before +5V dropout, allowing ≥200ms warning window for nonvolatile storage. |
| Automotive Infotainment Head Unit | Network Router Control Board |
Use Scenario: Cold-cranking condition where battery voltage dips to 6–7V, causing 5V LDO output to sag. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MAX707CSA+T monitors LDO output; RESET holds SoC in reset until rail recovers above 4.65V + hysteresis. Use Value: 40mV hysteresis prevents chatter during marginal voltage recovery; 1V validity ensures reset remains asserted through worst-case sag. |
Use Scenario: Dual-supply system with +5V main rail and +3.3V I/O rail, requiring coordinated reset sequencing. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: RESET output drives reset tree; PFI monitors +3.3V rail via resistor divider to assert PFO if I/O supply fails first. Use Value: Independent PFI comparator enables fault-isolation between power domains without adding discrete comparators or voltage references. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX705CSA+T | Includes watchdog timer (WDI/WDO); active-low RESET only; 4.65V threshold; no RESET pin. | Required where software watchdog timeout recovery is needed; unsuitable if active-high reset is mandatory. | Select MAX705CSA+T only when watchdog functionality is essential and μP accepts active-low reset. |
| MAX813LCSA+ | Identical 4.65V threshold and 200ms pulse width; includes watchdog timer; active-high RESET only (no RESET). | Used where watchdog is required but active-low reset is unnecessary; lacks dual-reset capability of MAX707. | Choose MAX813LCSA+ when system design uses only active-high reset and requires watchdog supervision. |
Compared with MAX705CSA+T and MAX813LCSA+, the MAX707CSA+T uniquely provides both active-high and active-low reset outputs without watchdog circuitry - making it optimal for systems needing dual-reset signaling (e.g., legacy + modern μP coexistence) while minimizing complexity and BOM count.

FAQ
What is the reset threshold voltage of the MAX707CSA+T?
The MAX707CSA+T has a nominal reset threshold of 4.65V with ±150mV tolerance and 40mV hysteresis. It asserts RESET when VCC falls below this threshold and releases it 200ms after VCC rises above 4.65V + hysteresis. This value is factory-trimmed and guaranteed across temperature and supply variations, ensuring consistent behavior in +5V systems.
Does the MAX707CSA+T include a watchdog timer?
No, the MAX707CSA+T does not include a watchdog timer. Unlike the MAX705CSA+T or MAX813LCSA+, the MAX707CSA+T replaces the watchdog input/output (WDI/WDO) functionality with an active-high RESET output (Pin 6). Its pinout omits WDI and uses Pin 8 as N.C., confirming absence of watchdog circuitry per Maxim's official datasheet.
What is the purpose of the PFI and PFO pins on the MAX707CSA+T?
The PFI (Power-Fail Input) pin connects to a voltage divider monitoring any DC supply; when voltage at PFI drops below 1.25V, the open-drain PFO (Power-Fail Output) pulls low. This enables early-warning detection for +5V, +12V, or negative rails - allowing the host μP to execute controlled shutdown before complete power loss. PFO can drive NMI interrupts or external logic.
Can the MAX707CSA+T operate with supply voltages below 5V?
Yes, the MAX707CSA+T operates from 1.0V to 5.5V and guarantees valid RESET output down to VCC = 1V. Its internal reset generator remains functional at low supply levels, enabling use in battery-backed systems or during deep brownout conditions where other supervisors may fail to assert reset reliably.
What package type is used for the MAX707CSA+T?
The MAX707CSA+T is supplied in an 8-pin SO (Small Outline) package with lead-free/RoHS-compliant finish, indicated by the "+" suffix. It uses standard SOIC-8 footprint (package code S8+2), with 1.27mm pitch and JEDEC MS-012AC outline - compatible with automated SMT assembly and reflow processes.
