Product details
Overview
MAX707MSA/PR 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 200ms reset pulse width, guarantees RESET validity down to VCC = 1V, and operates from 1.0V to 5.5V supply - used in industrial controllers and embedded systems requiring reliable power-on reset and brownout protection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX707MSA/PR datasheet, MAX707MSA/PR pinout, MAX707MSA/PR application, or MAX707MSA/PR equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world use cases, and validated alternative parts - all grounded in Maxim's official electrical characteristics and pin configuration data for the MAX707 family in SO-8 package.
Technical Context
The MAX707MSA/PR 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 with guaranteed logic level down to VCC = 1V. Unlike MAX705/MAX706, it substitutes watchdog timeout functionality with a second reset output (RESET), eliminating WDI/WDO pins.
Its internal reset generator ensures 200ms minimum pulse width after power-up or MR assertion, with response time under 250ns from MR to RESET deassertion. The PFI comparator features ultra-low input current (±25nA) and fast 400ns assertion/deassertion, enabling accurate early-warning detection for +5V or scaled external supplies.
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 nominal - ensures full μP initialization before release |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - supports valid RESET assertion even during deep brownout |
| Supply Current | 50µA typical (C-grade) - enables low-power battery-backed operation |

Pinout & Package
MAX707MSA/PR 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 a beveled corner or dot; device orientation follows standard SO-8 top-view convention.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (MR) | Manual-Reset Input | Active-low TTL/CMOS-compatible trigger; internal 250µA pull-up; 140ms debounce via reset timing |
| 2 (VCC) | Positive Supply Input | +1.0V to +5.5V main power rail; powers all internal comparators and reset logic |
| 3 (GND) | Ground Reference | 0V return path for all analog and digital functions; must be low-impedance |
| 4 (PFI) | Power-Fail Input | Non-inverting comparator input referenced to 1.25V; monitors external voltage dividers |
| 5 (PFO) | Power-Fail Output | Open-drain active-low output; sinks current when PFI < 1.25V; interrupts μP before dropout |
| 6 (RESET) | Active-High Reset Output | Inverted complement of RESET; drives high during normal operation; low during reset |
| 7 (RESET) | Active-Low Reset Output | Standard open-drain reset signal; guaranteed low ≤0.4V at 1.2mA sink load |
| 8 (VCC) | Positive Supply Input | Duplicate VCC pin for improved power integrity; must be connected to same rail as Pin 2 |

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 function, same SO-8 package, but commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C) vs. extended (-40°C to +85°C) for MAX707MSA/PR | Lacks extended temp rating; unsuitable for automotive or outdoor industrial deployments | Select MAX707MSA/PR when operating ambient exceeds +70°C or requires MIL-STD-883 traceability |
| MAX813LCSA | Includes watchdog timer (1.6s timeout) and active-high RESET, but no active-low RESET output; 4.65V threshold identical | Provides watchdog supervision but lacks dual-reset capability; requires WDI routing and software handling | Choose MAX707MSA/PR when hardware-only reset coordination is required without μP involvement |
Compared with MAX707CSA, MAX707MSA/PR adds extended temperature support and tighter process control; versus MAX813LCSA, it trades watchdog functionality for guaranteed dual-reset signaling - critical for systems where watchdog-induced resets must be strictly separated from power-event resets.

FAQ
What is the reset threshold voltage for MAX707MSA/PR?
The MAX707MSA/PR has a nominal reset threshold of 4.65V with ±150mV tolerance over temperature and supply. This value is factory-trimmed and guaranteed across the full -40°C to +85°C operating range. The threshold applies to both RESET and RESET outputs, and its 40mV hysteresis prevents chatter during slow VCC ramps. This specification is confirmed in Maxim's Electrical Characteristics table for MAX707 devices.
Does MAX707MSA/PR include a watchdog timer?
No, the MAX707MSA/PR does not include a watchdog timer. It replaces the watchdog functionality found in MAX705/MAX706 with a second reset output (RESET), providing active-high reset signaling instead of WDI/WDO pins. This is explicitly stated in the General Description: "The MAX707/MAX708 are the same as the MAX705/MAX706, except an active-high reset is substituted for the watchdog timer." The pin configuration confirms absence of WDI and WDO terminals.
What is the minimum supply voltage at which MAX707MSA/PR guarantees valid RESET output?
The MAX707MSA/PR guarantees valid RESET output down to VCC = 1.0V, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Operating Voltage Range" and confirmed in the Detailed Description section. At VCC = 1.0V, RESET is guaranteed to be ≤0.3V when sinking 50µA, enabling robust reset assertion during deep brownout conditions before system collapse.
Can MAX707MSA/PR monitor voltages other than +5V?
Yes, MAX707MSA/PR can monitor voltages other than +5V using the PFI input. Its internal 1.25V comparator reference allows external voltage dividers to scale higher rails (e.g., +12V or +24V) or negative supplies down to the 1.25V trip point. Application circuits in the datasheet demonstrate monitoring of +12V and negative rails, with accuracy dependent on resistor tolerance and PFI threshold variation.
What package type and RoHS status does MAX707MSA/PR use?
MAX707MSA/PR uses an 8-pin SO (Small Outline) package, outline 21-0041, with 1.27mm lead pitch. The "/PR" suffix indicates lead-free, RoHS-compliant packaging per Maxim's ordering conventions. This is confirmed in the Ordering Information table and Package Information section, where "S8+2" denotes SO-8 with RoHS compliance.
