Product details
Overview
The MAX707CUA+ 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), in an 8-pin µMAX package. It asserts RESET when VCC drops below 4.65V, guarantees valid reset down to VCC = 1V, delivers 200ms reset pulse width, and supports +5V systems requiring reliable brownout detection and orderly shutdown-common in industrial controllers and embedded instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX707CUA+ datasheet, MAX707CUA+ pinout, MAX707CUA+ application, or MAX707CUA+ equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, confirmed µMAX-8 package mapping, validated terminal roles, exact reset threshold (4.65V), guaranteed VCC = 1V operation, and two real-world alternative parts with documented technical and application differences.
Technical Context
The MAX707CUA+ integrates four core supervisory functions: a precision 4.65V supply monitor with 40mV hysteresis, an active-high RESET output (complement of active-low RESET), a debounced TTL/CMOS-compatible manual-reset input (MR) with 250µA internal pull-up, and a power-fail comparator (PFI/PFO) with 1.25V threshold for early warning of supply degradation or low-battery conditions.
Unlike the MAX705/MAX706 series, the MAX707CUA+ substitutes the watchdog output (WDO) with a second reset output (RESET), eliminating watchdog timeout functionality but enabling dual-polarity reset signaling. Its internal timing generator ensures 200ms minimum reset pulse width after power-up or MR assertion, and RESET remains valid even as VCC falls to 1V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.65V ±150mV - triggers reset during brownout in +5V systems; matches standard TTL/CMOS logic supply margin. |
| Reset Pulse Width | 200ms (min) - ensures sufficient duration to initialize all peripherals and clear CPU state on power-up or manual reset. |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - guarantees RESET validity at VCC = 1V, enabling robust low-voltage detection before complete power collapse. |
| Supply Current | 50µA (typ), 350µA (max) - ultra-low quiescent draw suitable for battery-backed or energy-constrained embedded systems. |
| Power-Fail Threshold | 1.25V ±50mV - enables precise early-warning detection of failing supplies or depleted batteries via external voltage divider. |
| Manual-Reset Input | Debounced, 250µA internal pull-up - eliminates need for external RC network; compatible with pushbutton switches and logic-level signals. |
| Package | 8-pin µMAX (U8+1, 3mm × 3mm) - surface-mount footprint with 0.5mm pitch; RoHS-compliant with "+" suffix. |
Pinout & Package
The MAX707CUA+ is housed in an 8-pin µMAX package (outline 21-0036), measuring 3mm × 3mm with 0.5mm lead pitch. It features exposed pad thermal enhancement and is available in lead-free/RoHS-compliant form (indicated by "+" suffix).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (MR) | Manual-Reset Input | Active-low TTL/CMOS-compatible trigger; internally pulled up with 250µA; initiates 200ms RESET pulse when pulled below 0.8V. |
| 2 (VCC) | Positive Supply Input | +5V nominal supply rail; device operates from 1.0V to 5.5V; RESET remains valid down to VCC = 1V. |
| 3 (GND) | Ground Reference | 0V return path for all analog and digital functions; required for accurate threshold comparison and output drive. |
| 4 (PFI) | Power-Fail Input | Non-inverting input of comparator referenced to 1.25V; monitors external supply via voltage divider for early warning. |
| 5 (PFO) | Power-Fail Output | Open-drain active-low output; sinks current when PFI < 1.25V; used to interrupt µP or trigger backup actions. |
| 6 (RESET) | Active-High Reset Output | Inverted complement of RESET; drives high when VCC ≥ 4.65V and no reset condition is active; CMOS-compatible. |
| 7 (RESET) | Active-Low Reset Output | Drives low during power-up, brownout, or MR assertion; 200ms minimum pulse width; guaranteed ≤0.4V at 3.2mA sink. |
| 8 (WDO) | No Connect (NC) | Not bonded in MAX707; pin is unused and must be left floating or tied to GND per layout best practice. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guaranteed RESET Validity at VCC = 1V | Enables fail-safe reset assertion during deep brownout, preventing undefined CPU states before full power loss. |
| 200ms Minimum Reset Pulse Width | Ensures reliable initialization of slow-starting peripherals (e.g., ADCs, serial interfaces) without external timing components. |
| 1.25V Precision Power-Fail Comparator | Supports configurable early-warning circuits for +3.3V, +5V, or negative rails using external resistive dividers. |
| Debounced Manual-Reset Input | Eliminates need for external RC debounce network; accepts direct switch closure or logic-level assertion. |
| µMAX-8 Surface-Mount Package | 3mm × 3mm footprint with 0.5mm pitch reduces PCB area by >60% vs. SO-8; compatible with automated reflow assembly. |

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 functionality and specs, but in 8-pin SO package (5.0mm × 4.0mm); higher thermal resistance (5.88mW/°C derating). | Suitable for through-hole prototyping or legacy SO-8 layouts; less space-efficient than µMAX for high-density boards. | Select MAX707CSA+ only if SO-8 footprint is fixed or thermal dissipation above 330mW is required. |
| MAX813LCUA+ | Includes watchdog timer (1.6s timeout) and active-high RESET, but lacks active-low RESET output; same 4.65V threshold and µMAX-8 package. | Better suited for systems needing watchdog supervision (e.g., remote sensors), but cannot drive dual-polarity reset loads. | Choose MAX813LCUA+ when watchdog functionality is mandatory and only one reset polarity is needed. |
Compared with MAX707CUA+, MAX707CSA+ offers identical electrical behavior in a larger SO package, while MAX813LCUA+ trades dual-reset capability for integrated watchdog-making MAX707CUA+ optimal for space-constrained designs requiring both RESET polarities without external logic.

FAQ
What is the reset threshold voltage for MAX707CUA+?
The MAX707CUA+ has a nominal reset threshold of 4.65V, with a guaranteed range of 4.50V to 4.75V over temperature and supply variation. This threshold is factory-trimmed and applies to both power-up and brownout detection. The device holds RESET low until VCC rises above this threshold and sustains a 200ms delay, ensuring reliable microprocessor initialization. The 4.65V value is optimized for standard +5V logic rails with typical regulator tolerances.
Does MAX707CUA+ include a watchdog timer function?
No, the MAX707CUA+ does not include a watchdog timer. Unlike the MAX705/MAX706 series, the MAX707/MAX708 variants replace the watchdog output (WDO) with an active-high RESET output. Pin 8 (WDO) is a no-connect in the MAX707CUA+. If watchdog supervision is required, consider the MAX813LCUA+, which provides both active-high RESET and a 1.6s watchdog timeout-but lacks the active-low RESET output found on MAX707CUA+.
What is the minimum supply voltage at which MAX707CUA+ guarantees valid RESET output?
The MAX707CUA+ guarantees valid RESET output down to VCC = 1.0V. At this voltage, the active-low RESET output remains ≤0.3V when sinking 50µA, and the active-high RESET output remains ≥VCC − 1.5V when sourcing 800µA. This ultra-low-voltage operation ensures deterministic reset assertion during deep brownout conditions, preventing undefined microprocessor states before complete power collapse.
Can MAX707CUA+ monitor voltages other than +5V?
Yes, the MAX707CUA+ can monitor any DC voltage using its PFI input and internal 1.25V reference. By connecting a resistor divider between the target supply and GND-with the midpoint fed to PFI-the device triggers PFO when the divided voltage falls below 1.25V. For example, to monitor a +12V rail, use a 10:1 divider so that PFI drops to 1.25V when the input reaches ~12.5V. Hysteresis can be added via feedback from PFO to PFI for noise immunity.
What package type and RoHS status does MAX707CUA+ have?
The MAX707CUA+ uses the 8-pin µMAX package (outline 21-0036), measuring 3.0mm × 3.0mm with 0.5mm lead pitch and an exposed thermal pad. The "+" suffix explicitly denotes lead-free/RoHS-compliant construction, per Maxim's ordering convention. This package supports fine-pitch SMT assembly and offers superior thermal performance versus SO-8, with a derating factor of 4.10mW/°C above +70°C.
