Product details
Overview
STM704RDS6E from STMicroelectronics is a 3 V industrial-grade microprocessor supervisory IC with manual reset input, power-fail comparator (PFI/PFO), automatic battery switchover, and guaranteed RST assertion down to VCC = 1.0 V. It provides active-low push-pull reset output, 200 ms typical reset timeout (trec), and operates from –40 °C to +85 °C in SO8 package for embedded systems requiring reliable power monitoring and SRAM backup control.
For engineers reviewing the STM704RDS6E datasheet, STM704RDS6E pinout, STM704RDS6E application, or STM704RDS6E equivalent, key selection criteria include reset threshold accuracy, battery switchover behavior, PFI/PFO response timing, MR debounce tolerance, and compatibility with external LPSRAM backup schemes under brownout conditions.
Technical Context
The STM704 implements a precision voltage reference and comparator to monitor VCC against a fixed 2.63 V reset threshold (VRST) with ±1.5% tolerance. Its reset logic asserts RST low during VCC undervoltage, MR activation, or power-fail detection via PFI input - all triggering a 200 ms minimum reset pulse width (trec).
Battery switchover is managed by an internal P-channel MOSFET switch connecting VBAT to VOUT when VCC falls below 2.4 V (VSW); VOUT remains tied to VCC above that threshold. The PFO output is push-pull and asserts low on either PFI < VPFI (1.25 V typ) or VCC < VSW, providing early warning of supply collapse.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold (VRST) | 2.63 V ±1.5% - ensures MCU reset before core logic fails at 3 V nominal supply |
| Reset Timeout (trec) | 200 ms typ - guarantees sufficient hold time for processor initialization and memory stabilization |
| Power-Fail Threshold (VPFI) | 1.25 V typ - triggers PFO assertion before VCC drops below critical SRAM retention voltage | Switchover Voltage (VSW) | 2.4 V - initiates battery backup before VCC crosses VRST, preserving LPSRAM data integrity |
| Supply Current (ICC) | 40 µA typ - enables low-power operation in always-on monitoring circuits |
| Battery Supply Current (IBAT) | 0.4 µA typ - minimizes drain on backup coin cell during extended storage or standby |
| Operating Temperature | –40 °C to +85 °C - supports industrial-grade deployment without derating |
Pinout & Package
STM704RDS6E is housed in an 8-pin SO8 (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package with 1.27 mm pitch, compliant with JEDEC MS-012, suitable for automated SMT assembly and thermal reliability in industrial PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PFO | Power-fail output | Push-pull active-low signal indicating imminent VCC collapse or PFI undervoltage |
| PFI | Power-fail input | Monitors external supply rail; asserts PFO when voltage falls below 1.25 V threshold |
| MR | Manual reset input | Active-low logic input with 40 kΩ internal pull-up; debounced internally for push-button use |
| RST | Active-low reset output | Push-pull output asserted low during VCC undervoltage, MR activation, or power-fail event |
| VCC | Main supply input | 3 V nominal input powering internal circuitry and enabling VOUT connection to main rail |
| VOUT | SRAM supply output | Switched output connected to VCC above 2.4 V, or to VBAT below it - powers external LPSRAM |
| VBAT | Backup battery input | Accepts 1.0–5.5 V backup source; automatically engages when VCC drops below switchover point |
| VSS | Ground reference | System ground return path for all internal comparators, timers, and output drivers |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guaranteed RST assertion down to VCC = 1.0 V | Ensures deterministic reset even during deep brownout, critical for nonvolatile memory write completion |
| Automatic battery switchover with 100 Ω switch | Enables seamless LPSRAM backup without external FETs or diode-ORing, reducing BOM count |
| Power-fail comparator with independent PFI/PFO | Provides early warning of supply decay ≥1.25 V, allowing firmware-controlled save-and-shutdown sequences |
| 200 ms reset timeout with temperature-stable trec generator | Eliminates need for external RC timing components while maintaining specification across –40 °C to +85 °C |
| Internal 40 kΩ MR pull-up resistor | Permits direct push-button connection without external biasing, simplifying front-panel reset design |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Controller | Medical Infusion Pump |

| Smart Energy Meter | Automotive Telematics Gateway |
Use Scenario: Captures last valid kWh reading and tamper event timestamp during grid outage.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Reset supervisor ensuring microcontroller reset validity down to 1.0 V VCC, synchronized with battery switchover to VBAT. Use Value: Eliminates boot-loop risk during cold-crank transients by holding RST asserted until stable 3 V rail is restored. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX691ACSA+ | Higher reset threshold (4.65 V), no PFI/PFO, no battery switchover | Limited to 5 V systems without backup SRAM support | Select only if operating at 5 V and battery backup is unnecessary |
| TPS3808G18DBVR | Adjustable reset threshold (via external resistor), no MR input, no PFI/PFO | Requires external components for manual reset and power-fail detection | Prefer when precise threshold tuning is required and board space allows added passives |
Compared with MAX691ACSA+ and TPS3808G18DBVR, STM704RDS6E uniquely integrates PFI/PFO, MR, and battery switchover in a single SO8 package - eliminating four external components typically needed for equivalent functionality in 3 V industrial systems.

FAQ
What is the function of the Vccsw pin on STM704RDS6E?
Vccsw is not present on STM704RDS6E. It appears only on STM795 and STM802–STM805 variants. STM704 uses VOUT directly for battery switchover and lacks the Vccsw output used to drive external PMOS transistors for higher current LPSRAM loads.
Does STM704RDS6E include a watchdog timer?
No. The STM704RDS6E does not include a watchdog timer. Per the official ST datasheet (DocID10519 Rev 10, Section 2.3), watchdog functionality is explicitly excluded from STM704 and STM806 variants - only STM690, STM802, STM804, and STM805 support WDI input and internal watchdog timing.
Can STM704RDS6E be used with a supercapacitor instead of a battery?
Yes. The device supports SuperCap™ and other backup sources per Section 2.10 of the datasheet. VBAT accepts 1.0–5.5 V, and the internal 100 Ω switchover switch handles typical supercap discharge profiles. Ensure VBAT > VCC during switchover and limit inrush with series resistance if required.
What is the maximum load current supported on the VOUT pin?
VOUT supports up to 75 mA continuous output current, as specified in the "Absolute Maximum Ratings" table (Section 5). Exceeding this may cause excessive voltage drop or thermal stress. For higher currents, ST recommends using Vccsw (not available on STM704) or external switching circuitry.
