Product details
Overview
MAX709LCPA from Maxim Integrated is a precision power-supply monitor IC with active-low reset output, designed for +5V systems requiring 4.65V reset threshold, 140ms minimum reset timeout, and operation down to 1V supply. It eliminates external components in microprocessor supervisory circuits for embedded controllers, industrial PLCs, and telecom line cards.
For engineers reviewing the MAX709LCPA datasheet, MAX709LCPA pinout, MAX709LCPA application, or MAX709LCPA equivalent, key selection criteria include reset threshold accuracy (±150mV), guaranteed RESET state at VCC ≥1V, immunity to sub-40µs negative VCC transients, and compatibility with 8-pin DIP packaging for legacy board layouts.
Technical Context
The MAX709LCPA integrates a precision voltage comparator with hysteresis, internal timing capacitor, and open-drain RESET driver. Its reset threshold is factory-trimmed to 4.65V (min 4.50V, max 4.75V) and exhibits ±0.3% typical drift over –40°C to +85°C.
It delivers a guaranteed minimum 140ms reset pulse width after VCC rises above threshold, with no external timing components required. The device draws only 65µA typical supply current and remains functional with VCC as low as 1.0V, ensuring deterministic reset behavior during brownout recovery.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.65V nominal (4.50V–4.75V range); ensures reliable detection of +5V rail collapse before µP corruption |
| Reset Timeout | 140ms min after VCC rise; meets Intel-compatible power-on reset timing requirements |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.0V to 5.5V; guarantees RESET validity during deep brownout and full-power operation |
| Supply Current | 65µA typical at 5.5V; enables battery-backed systems with multi-year standby life |
| RESET Output Type | Open-drain, 20mA sink capability; supports wired-OR reset buses and level translation |
| Operating Temp | 0°C to +70°C; validated for commercial-grade industrial control and networking equipment |
| Transient Immunity | Immune to ≤40µs negative VCC glitches ≥100mV below threshold; reduces false resets in noisy environments |
Pinout & Package
MAX709LCPA is supplied in an 8-pin plastic DIP package (0.300" wide), with pins 1, 4, 5, 6, and 8 internally unconnected. Pin 2 supplies VCC, pin 3 is GND, and pin 7 provides the active-low open-drain RESET signal.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1, 4, 5, 6, 8 | No Connect | No internal connection; must be left floating or tied to GND per layout best practice |
| Pin 2 | VCC Supply Input | Accepts 1.0V–5.5V; powers internal comparator and timer; requires 0.1µF bypass capacitor |
| Pin 3 | GND Reference | Analog and digital ground reference; must connect to system ground plane with low-inductance path |
| Pin 7 | RESET Output | Active-low open-drain signal; requires external pull-up to VCC or another logic rail |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision 4.65V Reset Threshold | Factory-trimmed comparator ensures ±150mV tolerance at 25°C and minimal drift over temperature |
| 140ms Minimum Reset Pulse Width | Internally timed delay guarantees µP initialization completes before release from reset |
| Operation Down to 1.0V VCC | RESET remains valid and asserted even during severe brownout, preventing partial execution |
| 8-Pin DIP Compatibility | Direct drop-in replacement for legacy supervisory circuits without PCB redesign |
| 35µA–65µA Ultra-Low Quiescent Current | Enables always-on monitoring in energy-constrained applications without measurable battery drain |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar power-supply monitor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX706P | Same 4.65V reset threshold, but rated for –40°C to +85°C and offered in SO/µMAX only | Requires PCB redesign for SO-8 or µMAX footprint; not DIP-compatible | Select when extended temperature range or surface-mount assembly is mandatory |
| MAX809L | 4.63V threshold (±1.5%), 140ms timeout, 35µA supply current, but no N.C. pins - 5-pin SOT23 package | Not pin-compatible; lacks GND/VCC separation needed for noise-sensitive analog sections | Select for space-constrained designs where board area is critical and DIP footprint is unnecessary |
Compared with MAX709LCPA, MAX706P offers wider temperature support but requires package conversion, while MAX809L saves board space at the cost of reduced noise immunity and no DIP option-making MAX709LCPA optimal for commercial-grade through-hole retrofits and noise-critical industrial controls.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for MAX709LCPA?
The MAX709LCPA has a nominal reset threshold of 4.65V, with a guaranteed range of 4.50V to 4.75V across temperature and process variation. This value is factory-trimmed and specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "RESET Threshold, VTH" for suffix L. The threshold remains stable over the 0°C to +70°C operating range with less than ±0.3% drift, making it suitable for precise +5V rail monitoring in MAX709LCPA-based systems.
Does MAX709LCPA require external components to function?
No, MAX709LCPA operates autonomously with no external resistors, capacitors, or timing components required. Its 140ms reset timeout is generated by an internal oscillator and capacitor, and its 4.65V threshold is laser-trimmed during manufacturing. A 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor on VCC (pin 2) is recommended for noise immunity but is not strictly required for basic functionality-making MAX709LCPA a true single-chip solution for MAX709LCPA reset supervision.
Can MAX709LCPA drive a microprocessor reset pin directly?
Yes, MAX709LCPA can drive most µP reset pins directly via its open-drain RESET output (pin 7), provided an external pull-up resistor (typically 10kΩ to VCC) is used. The output sinks up to 20mA and guarantees logic-low state down to VCC = 1.0V. For µPs with bidirectional reset I/O (e.g., Motorola 68HC11), a 4.7kΩ series resistor between MAX709LCPA RESET and the µP pin prevents contention-details are documented in the MAX709LCPA Applications Information section.
What is the supply current consumption of MAX709LCPA?
MAX709LCPA consumes 65µA typical supply current at VCC = 5.5V and TA = +25°C, with a maximum of 200µA across the full temperature and voltage range. This ultra-low quiescent current enables MAX709LCPA to serve as a permanent supervisory element in battery-backed or energy-harvesting systems without impacting standby lifetime-verified in the "Supply Current" row of the MAX709LCPA Electrical Characteristics table.
Is MAX709LCPA compatible with 3.3V or 3V systems?
No, MAX709LCPA is specifically calibrated for +5V systems with a 4.65V reset threshold and is not intended for 3.3V or 3V operation. For those voltages, Maxim offers the MAX709M (4.40V), MAX709T (3.08V), or MAX709S (2.93V) variants. Using MAX709LCPA on a 3.3V rail would cause continuous reset assertion since VCC never exceeds the 4.65V threshold-confirming that MAX709LCPA is strictly a +5V supervisory device.
