Product details
Overview
MAX707EPA+ from Maxim Integrated is a precision microprocessor supervisory circuit in 8-pin PDIP package, providing active-high RESET output, 4.65V supply-voltage monitoring, 1.25V power-fail comparator input, and manual-reset input-designed for reliable reset assertion during power-up, brownout, and system fault conditions in embedded controllers and industrial instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX707EPA+ datasheet, MAX707EPA+ pinout, MAX707EPA+ application, or MAX707EPA+ equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, exact reset threshold (4.65V), guaranteed RESET validity down to VCC = 1.2V, 200ms reset pulse width, and confirmed compatibility with TTL/CMOS logic interfaces and +5V µP systems.
Technical Context
The MAX707EPA+ integrates a precision bandgap-based voltage monitor with 40mV hysteresis, a debounced manual-reset input with 250µA internal pull-up, and a 1.25V reference-comparator for external power-fail or low-battery detection. Its active-high RESET output is fully specified from VCC = 1.2V to 5.5V, ensuring deterministic behavior across wide supply transients.
Unlike watchdog-equipped variants (e.g., MAX705), the MAX707EPA+ replaces the watchdog timer with a second reset output (RESET), delivering complementary active-low and active-high reset signals-enabling direct interface with µPs requiring either polarity, such as Intel 80C51 or Motorola 68HC11 families.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.65V ±150mV - triggers reset when +5V rail drops below nominal regulation limit, preventing code execution during brownout. |
| Reset Pulse Width | 200ms (min) - ensures sufficient duration to fully initialize µP and peripheral clocks before release. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.2V to 5.5V - guarantees RESET output validity even during deep brownout or battery-backed operation. |
| Power-Fail Input Threshold | 1.25V ±50mV - enables accurate early-warning detection of failing +5V, +12V, or negative rails via external divider. |
| Manual-Reset Input Current | 250µA pull-up - allows direct connection to pushbutton switches without external biasing components. |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial environments including factory automation and outdoor instrumentation. |
| Package | 8-pin Plastic DIP (PDIP) - through-hole compatible for prototyping, legacy board repair, and high-reliability solder-joint applications. |
Pinout & Package
MAX707EPA+ uses an 8-pin plastic dual in-line package (PDIP) with standard 0.3-inch body width and 0.1-inch pin pitch. Pin 1 is marked by a notch or dot; leads are tin-lead (leaded) unless specified with '+' suffix for RoHS-compliant lead-free finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 MR | Manual-Reset Input | Active-low TTL/CMOS-compatible input; internally pulled up at 250µA; asserts both RESET and RESET on falling edge. |
| 2 VCC | +5V Supply Input | Primary power rail; RESET outputs remain valid down to 1.2V, enabling brownout-safe operation. |
| 3 GND | Ground Reference | Common return for all analog and digital functions; must be low-impedance for stable comparator reference. |
| 4 PFI | Power-Fail Input | High-impedance (±25nA) comparator input referenced to 1.25V; used for external voltage monitoring. |
| 5 PFO | Power-Fail Output | Open-drain active-low output; sinks current when PFI < 1.25V; can drive interrupt lines or external logic. |
| 6 RESET | Active-High Reset Output | CMOS-compatible output; complements RESET; asserted high during reset condition and VCC undervoltage. |
| 7 RESET | Active-Low Reset Output | Guaranteed logic low ≤0.4V at 1.2mA sink; meets µP reset timing requirements across full temperature range. |
| 8 WDO | Watchdog Output | Not present - MAX707EPA+ omits watchdog function; pin 8 is no-connect (N.C.) per official pinout. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guaranteed RESET Validity at Low VCC | RESET output remains functional down to VCC = 1.2V, enabling robust reset assertion during battery backup or severe brownout. |
| Dual-Polarity Reset Outputs | Simultaneous active-high (RESET) and active-low (RESET) outputs eliminate need for external inverters in mixed-logic systems. |
| Debounced Manual-Reset Interface | 250µA internal pull-up and 140ms minimum pulse width provide hardware-level switch bounce immunity without external RC networks. |
| Precision Power-Fail Comparator | 1.25V ±50mV reference enables accurate early-warning detection of supply degradation across multiple rails using simple resistor dividers. |
| Industrial Temperature Range | -40°C to +85°C operation supports deployment in harsh environments including motor drives, PLCs, and remote sensors. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX707CPA | Same functionality and pinout, but rated for 0°C to +70°C commercial temperature range. | Suitable only for indoor, climate-controlled equipment-not for industrial or outdoor deployments. | Select MAX707CPA only if ambient operating temperature stays within 0–70°C and cost sensitivity outweighs environmental robustness. |
| MAX813LEPA+ | Includes watchdog timer (1.6s timeout) and active-high RESET, but lacks active-low RESET output; PFI/PFO identical. | Enables watchdog-based system recovery but requires external inverter or logic to generate active-low reset signal. | Choose MAX813LEPA+ when watchdog supervision is mandatory and dual-reset polarity is not required. |
Compared with MAX707EPA+, MAX707CPA offers lower cost but reduced thermal margin, while MAX813LEPA+ adds watchdog capability at the expense of losing dedicated active-low RESET-making MAX707EPA+ optimal for dual-polarity reset-critical industrial control designs.
