Product details
Overview
MAX707CUA from Maxim Integrated is a microprocessor supervisory circuit providing active-high reset output, 4.65V supply-voltage monitoring, 1.25V power-fail comparator input, and manual-reset input - all in an 8-pin µMAX package. It ensures reliable power-up sequencing, brownout protection, and orderly shutdown in +5V embedded systems with guaranteed RESET validity down to VCC = 1V.
For engineers reviewing the MAX707CUA datasheet, MAX707CUA pinout, MAX707CUA application, or MAX707CUA equivalent, this device serves as a low-cost, space-efficient solution for critical μP power monitoring where active-high reset assertion, precise voltage thresholding, and manual intervention capability are required.
Technical Context
The MAX707CUA integrates a precision voltage monitor with 4.65V ±150mV threshold and 40mV hysteresis, a debounced TTL/CMOS-compatible manual-reset input (MR), and a 1.25V reference-based power-fail comparator (PFI/PFO). Its active-high RESET output asserts when VCC falls below threshold and remains valid down to 1V supply.
Unlike the MAX705/MAX706 series, the MAX707CUA omits the watchdog timer and WDO output, substituting dual reset outputs (RESET and RESET) - enabling direct compatibility with Intel 80C51 and other μPs requiring active-high reset polarity without external inversion logic.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.65V ±150mV - triggers reset during brownout on standard +5V rails |
| Reset Pulse Width | 200ms minimum - ensures μP completes full initialization before release |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - guarantees functional reset assertion even during deep brownout |
| Power-Fail Threshold | 1.25V ±50mV - enables early warning for +5V regulator dropout or battery depletion |
| Manual-Reset Input | TTL/CMOS-compatible with 250µA internal pull-up - supports pushbutton or logic-driven reset initiation |
| Quiescent Current | 50µA typical - minimizes standby power in battery-backed systems |
| Package | 8-pin µMAX (3mm × 3mm) - provides 60% board area reduction vs. SO-8 |
Pinout & Package
MAX707CUA is housed in an 8-pin µMAX package (outline 21-0036), measuring 3.0mm × 3.0mm × 0.8mm, with exposed pad for thermal enhancement and RoHS-compliant lead-free termination (designated by '+' suffix).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 MR | Active-low manual-reset input | Drives reset pulse when pulled below 0.8V; internally pulled up at 250µA for switch or logic interface |
| 2 VCC | +5V supply input | Primary power rail; reset generation and monitoring functions operate down to 1.0V |
| 3 GND | Ground reference | Common return for all analog and digital circuitry; must be low-impedance |
| 4 PFI | Power-fail comparator input | Monitors external voltage via resistor divider; asserts PFO when input drops below 1.25V |
| 5 PFO | Power-fail open-drain output | Sinks current when PFI < 1.25V; used for interrupt or backup-switch control |
| 6 RESET | Active-high reset output | Asserts high during reset condition; compatible with μPs requiring non-inverted reset (e.g., 80C51) |
| 7 RESET | Active-low reset output | Complementary to RESET; provides flexibility for mixed-logic systems or legacy interface requirements |
| 8 WDO | No-connect (N.C.) | Not bonded in MAX707CUA die - pin is unused and must remain unconnected |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guaranteed RESET operation at VCC = 1V | Enables fail-safe reset assertion during severe brownout, preventing μP lockup |
| 200ms reset pulse width | Meets minimum reset timing requirements of most 8-/16-bit microcontrollers |
| Debounced MR input | Eliminates need for external RC filtering or Schmitt-trigger circuitry |
| 1.25V precision PFI threshold | Supports accurate early-warning detection for +5V regulator failure or battery voltage sag |

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) | Larger footprint; better thermal dissipation and hand-solderability | Select when board layout allows SO-8 and reflow compatibility with legacy assembly lines is required |
| MAX813LCUA | Identical pinout and function, but lacks active-low RESET output (only RESET provided) | Reduced reset interface flexibility; no complementary output for mixed-logic designs | Choose when only active-high reset is needed and PCB real estate is constrained - same µMAX footprint |
Compared with MAX707CSA and MAX813LCUA, the MAX707CUA uniquely delivers dual active-high/active-low reset outputs in the smallest possible footprint, making it optimal for space-constrained industrial and medical devices requiring robust reset signaling without external logic.

FAQ
What is the reset threshold voltage for MAX707CUA?
The MAX707CUA has a nominal reset threshold of 4.65V with ±150mV tolerance over temperature and supply variations. This threshold is factory-trimmed and applies to both RESET and RESET outputs. The device guarantees valid reset assertion down to VCC = 1V, making it suitable for deep brownout detection in battery-powered or unstable power environments. The 40mV hysteresis prevents chatter near the trip point.
Does MAX707CUA include a watchdog timer?
No, the MAX707CUA does not include a watchdog timer or watchdog output (WDO). It is functionally identical to the MAX707 series, which replaces the watchdog circuit found in MAX705/MAX706 with dual reset outputs (RESET and RESET). The WDO pin (Pin 8) is marked N.C. (no connect) in the MAX707CUA datasheet and must remain unconnected on the PCB.
Can MAX707CUA monitor voltages other than +5V?
Yes, the MAX707CUA can monitor voltages other than +5V using its PFI (Power-Fail Input) pin. By connecting a resistor divider between the target voltage rail and ground, the voltage at PFI can be scaled to match the 1.25V internal reference. For example, monitoring a +12V rail requires a ~8.6:1 divider ratio. The PFO output then provides an early-warning flag before the main supply fails.
What is the purpose of the dual RESET outputs on MAX707CUA?
The MAX707CUA provides both RESET (active-high) and RESET (active-low) outputs to support diverse microprocessor interface requirements. RESET is directly compatible with Intel 80C51 and other μPs requiring high-asserted reset, while RESET supports legacy or mixed-logic systems needing low-asserted signals. This eliminates external inverters and simplifies design across heterogeneous platforms.
Is MAX707CUA RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the MAX707CUA is available in lead(Pb)-free/RoHS-compliant packaging. Maxim specifies lead-free versions by appending a '+' symbol to the part number (e.g., MAX707CUA+). The µMAX package uses matte tin plating and meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL-1), supporting standard reflow profiles including Pb-free peak temperatures up to +260°C.
