Product details
Overview
MAX707ESA+ from Maxim Integrated is an industrial-grade microprocessor supervisory circuit in 8-pin SO package, providing active-high RESET output, 4.65V supply-voltage monitoring, 1.25V power-fail comparator input, and debounced manual-reset input. It guarantees valid RESET down to VCC = 1.2V and delivers a 200ms reset pulse width for reliable μP initialization in embedded controllers and intelligent instruments.
For engineers reviewing the MAX707ESA+ datasheet, MAX707ESA+ pinout, MAX707ESA+ application, or MAX707ESA+ equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world use scenarios, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented functional and application differences - all specific to the MAX707ESA+ variant.
Technical Context
The MAX707ESA+ integrates four core supervisory functions: (1) power-up/down/brownout reset generation with 4.65V threshold and 40mV hysteresis; (2) dedicated active-high RESET output (complementary to active-low RESET); (3) precision 1.25V PFI comparator for power-fail or low-battery warning; and (4) TTL/CMOS-compatible MR input with 250μA internal pull-up and 150ns minimum pulse width. It lacks watchdog timer functionality - unlike MAX705/MAX706 - and substitutes active-high RESET for WDO.
Designed for +5V systems operating from -40°C to +85°C, it draws only 50–500μA supply current and maintains guaranteed RESET logic levels across full VCC range (1.2V to 5.5V). Its PFO output is open-drain, sinking up to 3.2mA, and responds to PFI transitions within 400ns.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.65V ±15mV - triggers reset when +5V rail drops below safe μP operating level |
| Reset Pulse Width | 200ms typ - ensures sufficient time for μP boot sequence before release |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.2V to 5.5V - enables valid RESET assertion during brownout recovery down to 1.2V |
| PFI Threshold | 1.25V ±5mV - precise reference for external voltage divider-based power-fail detection |
| MR Input Pull-Up | 250μA typ - eliminates need for external pull-up; supports direct switch-to-ground interface |
| RESET Output Drive | Sinks 3.2mA at 0.4V - directly drives TTL/CMOS inputs without buffer in most applications |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial control and automotive under-hood environments |
Pinout & Package
MAX707ESA+ is housed in an 8-pin SO (Small Outline) package, RoHS-compliant, with 1.27mm lead pitch and surface-mount footprint per outline 21-0041. Pin 1 is marked with dot or bevel; device orientation follows standard SO top-view convention.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 MR | Manual-Reset Input | Active-low TTL/CMOS-compatible trigger; internally pulled up at 250μA; debounces pushbutton switches |
| 2 VCC | +5V Supply Input | Primary power rail connection; powers all internal circuits and defines reset threshold reference |
| 3 GND | Ground Reference | 0V return path for all analog and digital functions; must be low-impedance for noise immunity |
| 4 PFI | Power-Fail Input | Comparator noninverting input; monitors external voltage via divider; trips PFO when <1.25V |
| 5 PFO | Power-Fail Output | Open-drain active-low output; sinks 3.2mA; used for μP interrupt or battery-switchover control |
| 6 RESET | Active-High Reset Output | Complementary to active-low RESET; asserted high during reset; valid down to VCC = 1.2V |
| 7 RESET | Active-Low Reset Output | Standard μP reset signal; guaranteed low ≤0.4V at 3.2mA sink; pulses 200ms on power-up |
| 8 WDO | Watchdog Output | Not present on MAX707 - pin is no-connect (N.C.) per datasheet; function replaced by RESET |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guaranteed RESET Validity | RESET outputs remain functional down to VCC = 1.2V - critical for brownout recovery in industrial systems |
| Dual Reset Outputs | Simultaneous active-high and active-low RESET signals - eliminates need for external inverters for bidirectional μP interfaces |
| Integrated Power-Fail Comparator | 1.25V precision reference with 400ns response - enables early-warning shutdown before system crash |
| Debounced Manual-Reset Input | 250μA internal pull-up + 140ms minimum pulse width - accepts mechanical switches without external RC network |
| Low Quiescent Current | 50μA typical supply current - extends battery life in backup-supervised instrumentation |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Controllers | Medical Diagnostic Instruments |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Real-time control of motor drives and I/O modules in factory automation cabinets subject to voltage sags and EMI. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervisory circuit asserting both RESET and RESET to initialize dual-core ARM processors and FPGA configuration logic after brownout. Use Value: 4.65V reset threshold aligns with +5V regulator dropout; 200ms pulse ensures full FPGA bitstream load before execution begins. |
Use Scenario: Portable ultrasound and blood analyzer units powered by Li-ion batteries with regulated +5V rails. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monitors main +5V supply and battery voltage via PFI divider; asserts PFO interrupt to initiate graceful shutdown before cutoff. Use Value: 1.25V PFI reference enables accurate low-battery detection at 3.2V battery level; MR input allows clinician-triggered recalibration reset. |
| Automotive Body Control Modules | Smart Energy Meters |
Use Scenario: Under-hood ECUs exposed to wide temperature swings (-40°C to +85°C) and load-dump transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides cold-start reset and brownout protection for 8051-based microcontrollers managing lighting and door locks. Use Value: Industrial temperature grade and 1.2V minimum VCC operation ensure reset validity during cranking when battery dips to 6V. |
Use Scenario: DIN-rail mounted meters with isolated +5V DC-DC converters and backup supercapacitors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Detects primary supply failure via PFI; uses PFO to switch to backup power and assert RESET to preserve metering registers. Use Value: Open-drain PFO output directly controls MOSFET gate for seamless switchover; 40mV hysteresis prevents chatter during marginal supply conditions. |
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 pinout and function, but commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C) instead of industrial (-40°C to +85°C) | Not suitable for under-hood or outdoor industrial deployments requiring extended thermal margin | Select MAX707CSA only for cost-sensitive consumer or lab equipment with controlled ambient |
| MAX813LCSA | Includes watchdog timer (1.6s timeout) and active-high RESET, but no active-low RESET output | Lacks dual-reset capability; requires external inverter if μP needs both polarities simultaneously | Choose MAX813LCSA when watchdog supervision is mandatory and board space permits added logic |
Compared with MAX707ESA+, MAX707CSA trades thermal robustness for lower cost in benign environments, while MAX813LCSA adds watchdog functionality at the expense of losing the complementary active-low RESET output - making it unsuitable for systems requiring simultaneous assertion of both reset polarities without external components.

FAQ
What is the reset threshold voltage for MAX707ESA+?
The MAX707ESA+ has a nominal reset threshold of 4.65V with ±15mV tolerance, triggering reset when VCC falls below this level. This value is factory-trimmed and guaranteed over the full -40°C to +85°C operating range. The threshold includes 40mV hysteresis to prevent oscillation during slow supply ramps. This specification applies exclusively to the MAX707ESA+ and matches the MAX705/MAX813L variants - not the 4.40V versions like MAX706ESA+.
Does MAX707ESA+ include a watchdog timer?
No, the MAX707ESA+ does not include a watchdog timer. Unlike the MAX705/MAX706/MAX813L, the MAX707/MAX708 series replaces the watchdog output (WDO) with an active-high RESET output. Pin 8 is designated N.C. (no connect) in the MAX707ESA+ datasheet. If watchdog functionality is required, consider MAX813LCSA - but note it lacks the active-low RESET output present on MAX707ESA+.
What is the minimum supply voltage at which MAX707ESA+ guarantees valid RESET output?
The MAX707ESA+ guarantees valid RESET and RESET outputs down to VCC = 1.2V, as specified for the -40°C to +85°C temperature grade. At this voltage, RESET remains ≤0.3V when sinking 100μA, and RESET remains ≥VCC – 1.5V when sourcing 800μA. This enables reliable reset assertion during deep brownout recovery - a key differentiator from commercial-grade variants that specify only down to 1.0V or 1.1V.
Can MAX707ESA+ monitor voltages other than +5V?
Yes, MAX707ESA+ can monitor any DC voltage using its PFI input. Connect a resistor divider from the target voltage to PFI so that the divided voltage crosses 1.25V at the desired trip point - e.g., a +12V rail monitored with 10:1 divider trips at ~12.5V. The PFI input draws only ±25nA, minimizing loading error. For negative rail monitoring, configure PFI as inverter input with external transistor stage, as shown in Figure 7 of the MAX705–MAX708 datasheet.
What package type and RoHS status does MAX707ESA+ have?
MAX707ESA+ is supplied in an 8-pin SO (Small Outline) package, outline 21-0041, with 1.27mm lead pitch and gull-wing leads. The "+" suffix explicitly denotes lead(Pb)-free and RoHS-compliant construction per Maxim Integrated's ordering conventions. This package is rated for surface-mount reflow up to +260°C and meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1.
