Product details
Overview
MAX709LESA+ 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 VCC = 1V. It eliminates external components in microprocessor supervisory circuits and supports SO-8 packaging for space-constrained embedded designs.
For engineers reviewing the MAX709LESA+ datasheet, MAX709LESA+ pinout, MAX709LESA+ application, or MAX709LESA+ equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal behavior across -40°C to +85°C, package dimensions, and validated alternatives for industrial control, automotive body electronics, and medical instrumentation where reliable power-on reset timing and brownout immunity are critical.
Technical Context
The MAX709LESA+ integrates a precision voltage comparator with hysteresis and an internal timer to generate a guaranteed minimum 140ms active-low RESET pulse after VCC rises above 4.65V (±150mV). Its reset assertion remains valid down to VCC = 1V, ensuring deterministic µP reset state during deep undervoltage conditions.
It features immunity to short negative VCC transients - e.g., a 100mV overdrive glitch lasting ≤40µs does not trigger spurious reset - and draws only 65µA typical supply current at VCC = 5.5V, enabling low-power system monitoring without burdening the supply rail.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.65V ±150mV - ensures reliable detection of +5V supply collapse before µP enters undefined state |
| Reset Timeout | 140ms min - guarantees sufficient hold time for full µP initialization after power-up |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - enables functional reset assertion even during severe brownout down to 1V |
| Supply Current | 65µA typ at 5.5V - minimizes quiescent load on battery-backed or energy-harvested supplies |
| Output Drive | Sinks 1.2mA at VTH min - directly interfaces with TTL/CMOS µP reset inputs without external pull-up |
| Package | 8-pin SO (SOIC) - industry-standard footprint compatible with automated PCB assembly |
| Temp Range | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for extended industrial and automotive under-hood environments |
Pinout & Package
MAX709LESA+ uses an 8-pin SO (SOIC) package with 1.27mm pitch, 5.0mm × 4.0mm body size, and gull-wing leads. Pin 1 is top-left corner (marking dot), with pins numbered counter-clockwise.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 4, 5, 6, 8 | No Connect | Internally unconnected - must be left floating or tied to GND per layout best practice |
| 2 | VCC | Main supply input - accepts 1.0V–5.5V; requires 0.1µF bypass capacitor adjacent to pin |
| 3 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference - must connect to system ground plane with low-inductance path |
| 7 | RESET | Active-low open-drain reset output - sinks current to hold µP in reset; requires external pull-up for logic-high state |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision 4.65V threshold | Guaranteed ±150mV tolerance ensures consistent reset activation across temperature and unit-to-unit variation |
| 140ms power-on delay | Internally timed minimum duration prevents premature µP release before clock stabilization and memory initialization |
| 1V minimum VCC operation | RESET remains asserted and electrically valid down to 1V supply, eliminating need for auxiliary reset circuitry |
| Transient immunity | Rejects ≤40µs negative VCC glitches up to 100mV below threshold - suppresses noise-induced false resets |
| No external components | Self-contained reset generation eliminates resistors, capacitors, and comparators required in discrete solutions |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar power-supply monitor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX706PEPA+ | Same 4.65V threshold, but DIP-8 package and 0°C to +70°C temp range | Limited to commercial-temperature industrial enclosures; no under-hood or outdoor deployment | Select when through-hole assembly or legacy board compatibility is required |
| MAX708TESA+ | 3.08V reset threshold, same SO-8 package and -40°C to +85°C rating | Designed for 3.3V systems; incompatible with 5V µP reset logic levels without level-shifting | Choose only if migrating to lower-voltage supply architecture with matching threshold requirement |
Compared with MAX709LESA+, MAX706PEPA+ offers identical reset functionality but lacks extended temperature support, while MAX708TESA+ shifts threshold to 3.08V - making it unsuitable for +5V systems without redesign. MAX709LESA+ remains optimal for new 5V industrial designs needing robustness across full industrial temperature range.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for MAX709LESA+?
The MAX709LESA+ has a nominal reset threshold voltage of 4.65V, with guaranteed limits of 4.50V (minimum) and 4.75V (maximum) across the full -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range. This threshold is factory-trimmed and does not require external calibration or resistor networks, ensuring consistent performance in +5V system supervision.
Does MAX709LESA+ require an external pull-up resistor on the RESET pin?
Yes, MAX709LESA+ features an open-drain RESET output and requires an external pull-up resistor to VCC (typically 10kΩ) to establish a valid logic-high state when reset is inactive. Without this resistor, the RESET line floats and cannot drive CMOS or TTL inputs reliably. The pull-up value balances speed and power consumption - values between 4.7kΩ and 100kΩ are commonly used.
Can MAX709LESA+ operate with a 3.3V supply?
No, MAX709LESA+ is specified for 4.65V reset threshold and intended for +5V systems. While its VCC range extends down to 1.0V, the 4.65V threshold is too high for reliable 3.3V supervision - it would assert reset continuously. For 3.3V systems, use MAX709TESA+ (3.08V threshold) or MAX706TESA+ instead.
What is the maximum allowable negative VCC transient duration for MAX709LESA+?
At 100mV overdrive (i.e., VCC dropping 100mV below the 4.65V threshold), MAX709LESA+ tolerates negative transients up to 40µs without issuing a false reset pulse. This immunity is confirmed in the Typical Operating Characteristics graph (Figure 1) and applies across -40°C to +85°C. Shorter durations are tolerated at larger overdrive magnitudes.
Is MAX709LESA+ pin-compatible with other MAX709 variants like MAX709MESA+?
Yes, all MAX709 variants including MAX709LESA+, MAX709MESA+, and MAX709TESA+ share identical SO-8 pinout, terminal functions, and package dimensions. Only the reset threshold voltage differs (L=4.65V, M=4.40V, T=3.08V); all other electrical and timing characteristics - including 140ms reset timeout and 65µA supply current - remain consistent across the family.
