Product details
Overview
MAX709TESA+T from Maxim Integrated is a precision power-supply monitor IC with active-low reset output, designed for +3V systems. It asserts RESET when VCC falls below 3.08V (±0.08V), holds reset for ≥140ms after VCC recovers, and operates down to VCC = 1V. Its 35µA supply current, immunity to short VCC transients, and 8-pin SO package make it ideal for low-power microprocessor supervision in industrial controllers.
For engineers reviewing the MAX709TESA+T datasheet, MAX709TESA+T pinout, MAX709TESA+T application, or MAX709TESA+T equivalent, key selection criteria include reset threshold accuracy (3.08V nominal), guaranteed minimum reset timeout (140ms), VCC operating range (1.0V–5.5V), and compatibility with 3V/3.3V/5V logic interfaces without external components.
Technical Context
The MAX709TESA+T integrates a precision voltage comparator with hysteresis and a monostable timer to generate a clean, glitch-immune reset pulse. Its internal reference ensures stable 3.08V reset threshold across temperature (±0.5% typical drift) and supply voltage variation.
It features an open-drain RESET output capable of sinking 1.2mA at VCC = reset threshold min, supports bidirectional µP reset pins via series resistor buffering, and maintains valid output state down to VCC = 1V-enabling reliable brownout detection before system collapse.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 3.08V ±0.08V - precisely matches 3V system supply rails with margin for brownout detection |
| Reset Timeout | 140ms min - ensures full microprocessor initialization before release from reset |
| Supply Current | 35µA typ - enables battery-backed operation for >10 years in low-duty-cycle systems |
| VCC Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - supports operation during deep brownout and compatibility with 3.3V/5V logic |
| RESET Output Type | Open-drain - allows wired-OR configuration and level translation with external pull-up |
| Transient Immunity | Immune to ≤40µs negative VCC glitches 100mV below threshold - prevents spurious resets in noisy environments |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial ambient conditions without derating |
Pinout & Package
MAX709TESA+T is housed in an 8-pin SO (Small Outline) package, 150mil width, RoHS-compliant and lead-free (+T suffix). Pin 1 is top-left corner, marked by dot or notch.
| 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 - requires local 0.1µF bypass capacitor for transient immunity |
| 3 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference - connect directly to system ground plane |
| 7 | RESET | Active-low open-drain reset output - requires external pull-up to VCC or logic rail |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No external components required | Integrates precision reference, comparator, and timing circuitry - eliminates trimming resistors, capacitors, and discrete logic |
| 140ms minimum power-on reset delay | Guaranteed minimum timeout ensures µP clock stabilization and memory initialization before release |
| Valid RESET output down to VCC = 1V | Enables early brownout detection while preserving reset assertion integrity during supply collapse |
| Immunity to short negative VCC transients | Withstands ≤40µs glitches 100mV below threshold - reduces need for additional filtering in EMI-prone environments |
| Low 35µA quiescent current | Minimizes standby power draw in battery-powered or energy-harvesting 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX706TESA+ | Includes watchdog timer and manual reset input; same 3.08V threshold and 140ms timeout | Required where firmware hang detection or user-initiated reset is needed | Select MAX706TESA+ if watchdog functionality is mandatory; otherwise MAX709TESA+T offers lower cost and smaller footprint |
| TPS3808G30DBVR | TI part with 3.0V threshold (±0.5%), 200ms timeout, 1.5µA quiescent current, but no VCC < 1V guarantee | Better suited for ultra-low-power battery applications where long-term standby dominates | Choose TPS3808G30DBVR only when sub-µA supply current is critical and VCC > 1.2V operation suffices |
Compared with MAX706TESA+, MAX709TESA+T omits watchdog and manual reset to reduce cost and complexity; versus TPS3808G30DBVR, it trades ultra-low current for guaranteed reset validity down to 1V-critical for robust brownout response in industrial systems.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for MAX709TESA+T?
The MAX709TESA+T has a nominal reset threshold of 3.08V, with guaranteed limits of 3.00V (min) and 3.15V (max) over the full -40°C to +85°C temperature range. This value is factory-trimmed and specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "RESET Threshold, VTH" for suffix T. The threshold remains stable with ±0.5% typical drift over temperature, making it suitable for precise 3V system monitoring.
Does MAX709TESA+T require external components to function?
No, MAX709TESA+T requires no external components for basic reset functionality. It integrates all necessary reference, comparator, and timing circuitry. A 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor on VCC (pin 2) is recommended for transient immunity but not strictly required for DC operation. No pull-up resistor is built-in-external pull-up to VCC or logic rail is needed for the open-drain RESET output (pin 7).
Can MAX709TESA+T operate when VCC drops below 1V?
MAX709TESA+T guarantees correct RESET output state down to VCC = 1V. Below 1V, the RESET output becomes high-impedance (open-circuit) and no longer actively sinks current. For applications requiring valid RESET down to 0V, a 100kΩ pull-down resistor on the RESET line is recommended-as documented in the Applications Information section of the MAX709TESA+T datasheet.
What is the minimum reset timeout duration for MAX709TESA+T?
The minimum reset timeout for MAX709TESA+T is 140ms, measured from the moment VCC rises above the reset threshold until RESET deasserts. This is a guaranteed minimum across temperature and supply voltage. Typical timeout is 280ms, and maximum is 560ms-providing ample margin for microprocessor clock stabilization and memory initialization before software execution begins.
Which package type does MAX709TESA+T use, and is it RoHS-compliant?
MAX709TESA+T uses an 8-pin SO (Small Outline) package, 150mil width, with gull-wing leads. The "+T" suffix explicitly denotes lead-free, RoHS-compliant packaging per JEDEC J-STD-020. The device meets IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL-1), allowing unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH.
