Product details
Overview
STM704RDS6F from STMicroelectronics is a 3 V industrial-grade microprocessor supervisory IC with battery switchover, active-low push-pull RST output, manual reset (MR) input, power-fail comparator (PFI/PFO), and guaranteed reset assertion down to VCC = 1.0 V. It provides 200 ms typical reset timeout (trec), 0.4 µA typical battery supply current, and operates from –40 °C to +85 °C - used in embedded systems requiring reliable power monitoring and SRAM backup during main supply loss.
For engineers reviewing the STM704RDS6F datasheet, STM704RDS6F pinout, STM704RDS6F application, or STM704RDS6F equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, validated SO8 package mapping, confirmed pin roles (MR, RST, PFI, PFO, VOUT, VBAT, VCC, VSS), and real-world design context for NVRAM supervision and fail-safe reset generation.
Technical Context
The STM704RDS6F implements a precision voltage reference and comparator to monitor VCC against a fixed 2.93 V reset threshold (VRST) with hysteresis. Its reset logic asserts RST low on VCC drop below VRST, MR low assertion, or power-fail detection via PFI input - all guaranteeing valid reset state down to 1.0 V VCC without battery, or lower with VBAT > 1 V.
No watchdog timer or chip enable gating is present - distinguishing it from STM690/802/804/805/806 variants. Battery switchover activates when VCC falls below 2.4 V (VSW), connecting VBAT to VOUT through an internal P-channel MOSFET switch with <100 Ω on-resistance, enabling external LPSRAM backup without external circuitry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold (VRST) | 2.93 V ±1.5% - ensures reliable MCU reset initiation before brownout affects core logic |
| Reset Timeout (trec) | 200 ms (typ) - provides sufficient hold time for full system initialization after power recovery |
| Battery Supply Current | 0.4 µA (typ) - enables multi-year backup operation from coin-cell batteries |
| Supply Current (VCC mode) | 40 µA (typ) - minimizes quiescent load on primary 3 V rail |
| Operating Temperature | –40 °C to +85 °C - certified for industrial environments without derating |
| Power-Fail Threshold (VPFI) | 2.63 V - triggers PFO low 300 mV before reset assertion, enabling early warning and graceful shutdown |
| VCC Switchover Voltage (VSW) | 2.4 V - initiates automatic VBAT-to-VOUT transfer before SRAM data retention fails |
Pinout & Package
STM704RDS6F is housed in an 8-pin SO8 (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package, 3.9 mm × 4.9 mm body, 1.27 mm pitch, RoHS-compliant lead-free finish. Pin 1 is marked with a dot or bevelled corner.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: PFO | Power-fail output | Push-pull active-low signal indicating imminent VCC failure; drives interrupt or shutdown logic directly |
| 2: VOUT | Supply output voltage | Switched output connected to VCC above 2.4 V, or to VBAT below 2.4 V - powers external LPSRAM during outage |
| 3: VCC | Main supply input | 3 V nominal input; monitored for reset and switchover; must exceed 1.0 V for guaranteed RST assertion |
| 4: Vccsw | VCC switch output | Push-pull logic signal high during battery backup, low during main supply - controls external PMOS for >75 mA IOUT |
| 5: VSS | Ground | Reference return for all analog comparators and digital outputs; requires low-impedance connection |
| 6: MR | Manual reset input | Active-low input with 40 kΩ internal pull-up; debounced by trec timer - enables hardware reset via momentary switch |
| 7: RST | Active-low reset output | Push-pull output asserted low during fault conditions; drives MCU reset pin directly without external pull-up |
| 8: VBAT | Backup battery input | Accepts 1.0–5.5 V backup source; isolated from VCC until switchover condition met; no reverse current flow |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guaranteed RST assertion down to VCC = 1.0 V | Ensures deterministic reset even during deep brownout, eliminating need for external reset IC in low-VCC designs |
| Automatic battery switchover at 2.4 V | Seamlessly transfers LPSRAM supply without software intervention or external FET control logic |
| Integrated power-fail comparator (PFI/PFO) | Provides 2.63 V early-warning threshold - enables controlled save-and-shutdown before reset occurs |
| 200 ms reset timeout with internal timer | Eliminates need for external RC timing network; trec is factory-trimmed and temperature-stable |
| 0.4 µA battery supply current | Extends CR2032 coin-cell life beyond 10 years in standby - critical for unattended industrial loggers |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX691ACSA+ | 5 V operation only; 4.65 V reset threshold; no battery switchover; includes watchdog timer | Requires level-shifting for 3 V systems; cannot replace STM704RDS6F in battery-backed SRAM designs | Select only if system runs at 5 V and requires watchdog functionality not present in STM704 |
| TPS3808G18DBVR | 3 V operation; 1.8 V reset threshold; no PFI/PFO; no VBAT/VOUT switchover; 350 ms trec | Lacks power-fail warning and SRAM backup capability; suited for simple reset-only use cases | Choose when only basic reset supervision is needed and battery backup is handled externally |
Compared with MAX691ACSA+ and TPS3808G18DBVR, STM704RDS6F uniquely integrates VCC/VBAT switchover, PFI/PFO early warning, and 1.0 V reset guarantee - making it irreplaceable in 3 V industrial systems requiring coordinated SRAM retention and graceful shutdown.

FAQ
Can STM704RDS6F operate with a 2.7 V supply?
Yes. The device is specified for 3 V operation but functions reliably down to VCC = 1.0 V. At 2.7 V, all features - including reset assertion, PFI comparison, and VOUT regulation - remain fully operational per datasheet DC characteristics. The 2.93 V reset threshold ensures margin against 2.7 V nominal rail variation.
Is an external pull-up required on the MR pin?
No. STM704RDS6F includes a factory-trimmed 40 kΩ internal pull-up resistor on MR. Leaving MR unconnected defaults it to logic high, disabling manual reset. A momentary switch to ground suffices for hardware reset - no external components needed.
What happens to VOUT when no battery is connected to VBAT?
When VBAT is tied to VCC (standard no-battery configuration), VOUT remains connected to VCC at all times. The internal switchover FET stays on, and Vccsw remains low. This maintains continuous LPSRAM power without interruption - confirmed in Section 2.4 of the datasheet.
Does STM704RDS6F support SuperCap™ backup instead of a battery?
Yes. The datasheet explicitly supports SuperCap™ usage (Section 2.10). VBAT accepts 1.0–5.5 V sources, and the 0.4 µA battery current enables multi-hour backup from a 0.47 F SuperCap charged to 3.0 V - ideal for short-duration outages where coin cells are impractical.
