Product details
Overview
MAX709RESA+ from Maxim Integrated is a precision power-supply monitor IC with active-low reset output, designed for +5V/+3.3V/+3V systems. It asserts RESET when VCC falls below 2.63V (±2%), holds reset for ≥140ms after VCC recovers, and guarantees valid output down to VCC = 1V. Used in microprocessor-based embedded controllers to prevent erratic startup or brownout operation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX709RESA+ datasheet, MAX709RESA+ pinout, MAX709RESA+ application, or MAX709RESA+ equivalent, key selection criteria include reset threshold accuracy (2.63V), guaranteed minimum reset timeout (140ms), low quiescent current (35µA), immunity to short VCC transients, and compatibility with SO-8 packaging for space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The MAX709RESA+ integrates a precision voltage comparator, internal timing capacitor, and open-drain RESET driver. Its reset threshold is factory-trimmed to 2.63V with ±2% tolerance over –40°C to +85°C, and its 140ms reset timeout is temperature-stable across the full operating range.
It features built-in immunity to negative VCC transients ≤40µs at 100mV overdrive, requires no external components for basic reset functionality, and maintains RESET validity during VCC ramp-up/down without external pull-ups-enabling direct interface to µP reset inputs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VTH Reset Threshold | 2.63V ±2% - ensures reliable reset assertion before critical logic voltage margin is violated in 3V/3.3V systems |
| Reset Timeout | 140ms min - guarantees sufficient hold time for µP initialization and peripheral stabilization |
| Supply Current | 35µA typ - enables ultra-low-power operation in battery-backed or energy-sensitive applications |
| VCC Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - supports operation during deep brownout and ensures RESET state integrity down to 1V |
| RESET Output Type | Open-drain, 20mA sink - allows wired-OR configuration and flexible voltage-level translation |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded and automotive under-hood auxiliary systems |
| Package | 8-pin SO - surface-mount compatible with standard reflow profiles and IPC-compliant board assembly |
Pinout & Package
MAX709RESA+ is supplied in an 8-pin SO (Small Outline) package, 3.9mm × 4.9mm body, 1.27mm pitch, JEDEC MS-012AC compliant.
| 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 | Positive supply input - accepts 1.0V–5.5V; bypass capacitor required at pin for transient immunity |
| 3 | GND | Analog ground reference - shared return path for internal comparator and output stage |
| 7 | RESET | Active-low open-drain reset output - sinks current during fault; requires external pull-up for logic-high level |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision 2.63V threshold | Factory-trimmed ±2% tolerance ensures consistent reset point across temperature and unit-to-unit variation |
| 140ms min reset timeout | Guaranteed minimum delay eliminates need for external RC timing networks in most µP boot sequences |
| No external components required | Self-contained reset generation reduces BOM count, PCB area, and qualification effort for cost-sensitive designs |
| Immunity to VCC glitches | Rejects transients ≤40µs at 100mV overdrive - prevents spurious resets during noisy power rail conditions |
| Valid RESET down to VCC = 1V | Ensures deterministic reset state during slow power ramps or partial brownouts where other monitors fail |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX706RCSA+ | Same 2.63V threshold and 140ms timeout, but includes manual reset input (MR) pin | Required where system-level pushbutton-initiated reset is needed alongside power-fail detection | Select MAX706RCSA+ if MR functionality is mandatory; otherwise MAX709RESA+ offers lower pin count and cost |
| TPS3808G12DBVR | 2.63V threshold, 200ms fixed timeout, 1.8µA typical supply current, SOT-23-5 package | Better suited for ultra-low-power battery applications; lacks SO-8 footprint compatibility | Choose TPS3808G12DBVR for space- and current-constrained designs where SO-8 mounting is not required |
Compared with MAX706RCSA+, MAX709RESA+ eliminates the MR pin to reduce complexity and cost in fixed-reset-only systems; compared with TPS3808G12DBVR, it trades ultra-low current for proven SO-8 manufacturability and higher drive strength (20mA vs. 20mA sink but different VOL specs).

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX709RESA+?
The MAX709RESA+ has a factory-trimmed nominal reset threshold voltage of 2.63V with a tolerance of ±2% over the full operating temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). This value is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table of the official datasheet and applies directly to the MAX709RESA+ variant, not the broader MAX709 family.
Does the MAX709RESA+ require an external pull-up resistor on the RESET pin?
Yes, the MAX709RESA+ features an open-drain RESET output (pin 7), so an external pull-up resistor is required to establish a defined logic-high level when RESET is inactive. Typical values range from 10kΩ to 100kΩ, selected based on bus capacitance and rise-time requirements. The MAX709RESA+ itself does not provide internal pull-up.
Can the MAX709RESA+ operate reliably below 3V supply voltage?
Yes, the MAX709RESA+ operates over a VCC range of 1.0V to 5.5V and guarantees correct RESET output state down to VCC = 1V. Its 2.63V threshold remains valid during VCC ramp-up and ramp-down, making it suitable for 3V and 3.3V systems experiencing brownout conditions.
What is the maximum allowable VCC transient duration that will not trigger a reset on the MAX709RESA+?
For the MAX709RESA+, a negative-going VCC transient of up to 40µs duration will not cause a reset pulse when the overdrive (VTH – VCC) is 100mV. This immunity is documented in the Typical Operating Characteristics section of the MAX709 datasheet and applies specifically to the R/S/T variants including MAX709RESA+.
Is the MAX709RESA+ pin-compatible with other MAX709 suffix variants like MAX709TESA+?
No-while all MAX709 variants share identical pinout and package (SO-8), the suffix denotes different reset thresholds (R = 2.63V, S = 2.93V, T = 3.08V, etc.). The MAX709RESA+ is not functionally interchangeable with MAX709TESA+ unless the application specifically requires a 3.08V threshold instead of 2.63V.
