Product details
Overview
MAX709LESA+T 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 industrial and embedded applications.
For engineers reviewing the MAX709LESA+T datasheet, MAX709LESA+T pinout, MAX709LESA+T application, or MAX709LESA+T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed reset assertion at VCC ≥ 1V, immunity to sub-40µs negative VCC transients, precise 4.65V threshold tolerance (±0.15V), and compatibility with 3.3V/5V µP reset inputs.
Technical Context
The MAX709LESA+T integrates a precision voltage comparator with hysteresis and an internal timer to generate a clean, glitch-immune reset pulse. Its reset threshold is factory-trimmed to 4.65V (L-suffix) with ±0.15V accuracy over −40°C to +85°C, and it guarantees correct RESET state down to VCC = 1V.
It features a fixed 140ms minimum reset timeout after VCC rises above threshold, no external timing components required, and immunity to short negative VCC transients - up to 40µs duration when overdrive is ≤100mV below threshold - enabling robust operation in noisy power environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.65V nominal (L-suffix), ±0.15V tolerance over full temperature range - ensures reliable brownout detection in +5V systems |
| Reset Timeout | 140ms min after VCC rise - meets µP power-on reset timing requirements without external RC network |
| Supply Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - guarantees valid RESET output even during deep brownout or partial power loss |
| Supply Current | 65µA typical at VCC = 5.5V - enables low-power system monitoring without burdening supply rails |
| Output Drive | Sink capability: 1.2mA at VCC = reset threshold min - directly drives standard CMOS/TTL reset inputs |
| Transient Immunity | Immune to negative VCC glitches ≤40µs at 100mV overdrive - prevents false resets in electrically noisy environments |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +85°C (E-grade) - qualified for industrial and automotive under-hood applications |
Pinout & Package
MAX709LESA+T is supplied in an 8-pin SO (Small Outline) package with lead-free finish (+T suffix). Pin 1 is top-left corner (notch-marked), pin numbering follows standard SO-8 counterclockwise convention.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | No Connect | No internal connection - must be left floating or tied to GND per layout best practice |
| 2 | VCC | Main supply input (1.0–5.5V); requires 0.1µF bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin for transient immunity |
| 3 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference - must connect to system ground plane with low-inductance path |
| 4 | No Connect | No internal connection - must be left floating or tied to GND |
| 5 | No Connect | No internal connection - must be left floating or tied to GND |
| 6 | No Connect | No internal connection - must be left floating or tied to GND |
| 7 | RESET | Active-low open-drain reset output - sinks current to hold µP in reset; requires external pull-up for logic-high state |
| 8 | No Connect | No internal connection - must be left floating or tied to GND |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision 4.65V Reset Threshold | Factory-trimmed comparator with ±0.15V accuracy across −40°C to +85°C - eliminates manual calibration and external resistive dividers |
| 140ms Fixed Reset Timeout | Internally timed delay ensures µP remains held in reset long enough for stable clock and supply settling - no external capacitor needed |
| VCC = 1V Minimum Operation | Guaranteed RESET assertion state maintained down to 1V supply - enables fail-safe reset during deep brownout conditions |
| SO-8 Lead-Free Package | RoHS-compliant 8-pin SOIC with +T suffix - supports automated SMT assembly and industrial thermal cycling reliability |
| Glitch Immunity | Rejects negative VCC transients ≤40µs at 100mV overdrive - prevents spurious resets in motor-driven or switching regulator environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar power-supply monitor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX706PESA+ | Same SO-8 package, identical 4.65V threshold and 140ms timeout, but rated for 0°C to +70°C (C-grade) instead of −40°C to +85°C (E-grade) | Limited to commercial-temperature applications; not suitable for extended industrial or automotive ambient ranges | Select MAX706PESA+ only if operating temperature stays within 0°C–70°C and cost sensitivity outweighs thermal margin needs |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Texas Instruments part with 3.3V reset threshold, adjustable timeout (200ms default), higher quiescent current (1.1µA), and different pinout (RESET active-high, VCC/GND swapped) | Requires board redesign due to active-high output and incompatible pin mapping; intended for 3.3V systems, not 5V | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR only when migrating to 3.3V µP architecture and redesigning reset interface logic |
Compared with MAX706PESA+, MAX709LESA+T provides extended temperature qualification and identical electrical performance; compared with TPS3808G33DBVR, MAX709LESA+T offers direct 5V-system compatibility, lower supply current, and proven noise immunity - making it optimal for drop-in replacement in legacy +5V designs.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX709LESA+T?
The MAX709LESA+T has a nominal reset threshold voltage of 4.65V, with a guaranteed tolerance of ±0.15V over the full operating temperature range (−40°C to +85°C). This value is factory-trimmed and specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "RESET Threshold, VTH" for suffix L. The MAX709LESA+T does not require external calibration or resistor networks to achieve this accuracy.
Does the MAX709LESA+T require an external pull-up resistor on the RESET pin?
Yes, the MAX709LESA+T features an open-drain RESET output and requires an external pull-up resistor to VCC (typically 10kΩ–100kΩ) to establish a valid logic-high state when not actively asserting reset. Without this pull-up, the RESET line floats and cannot drive µP reset inputs reliably. The datasheet confirms this requirement in the "Pin Description" and "Applications Information" sections.
Can the MAX709LESA+T operate with a 3.3V supply?
No - the MAX709LESA+T is specifically configured for +5V systems with a 4.65V reset threshold. While its VCC range extends down to 1.0V, applying only 3.3V would cause the device to assert reset continuously because VCC remains below the 4.65V threshold. For 3.3V systems, use MAX709SESA+T (2.93V threshold) or MAX709TESA+T (3.08V threshold) instead.
What is the maximum negative VCC transient duration the MAX709LESA+T can ignore?
The MAX709LESA+T is immune to negative VCC transients up to 40µs in duration when the overdrive (VTH − VCC) is ≤100mV, as confirmed in Figure 1 and the "Applications Information" section. This immunity is specific to the L/M versions (4.65V/4.40V thresholds); R/S/T variants exhibit slightly different transient response curves.
Is the MAX709LESA+T pin-compatible with other MAX709 variants like MAX709TESA+T?
Yes - all MAX709 variants (L/M/R/S/T) share identical SO-8 pinouts, electrical interfaces, and functional behavior except for reset threshold voltage and supply current. The MAX709LESA+T, MAX709TESA+T, and MAX709SESA+T are mechanically and electrically interchangeable in the same footprint, enabling easy threshold tuning without PCB revision.
