Product details
Overview
STM708TDS6E from STMicroelectronics is a 3 V precision voltage supervisor IC with dual active-low and active-high reset outputs, 200 ms reset timeout, power-fail comparator (PFI/PFO), and no watchdog timer. It monitors VCC for out-of-tolerance conditions down to 1.0 V, asserts RST/RST during brownout or manual reset, and operates from –40 °C to +85 °C in industrial systems such as PLC controllers and embedded instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the STM708TDS6E datasheet, STM708TDS6E pinout, STM708TDS6E application, or STM708TDS6E equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-reset output architecture, absence of watchdog functionality (distinguishing it from STM706T/S/R), PFI threshold of 1.25 V ±1%, guaranteed reset assertion at VCC ≥ 1.0 V, and TSSOP8 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The STM708TDS6E implements independent voltage monitoring using two internal comparators: one for VCC supervision (VRST = 3.00–3.15 V) and another for power-fail detection (VPFI = 1.25 V). It features push-pull RST and RST outputs with trec = 200 ms (typ.), and supports manual reset via MR with internal 40 kΩ pull-up.
Unlike STM706 variants, the STM708 series omits watchdog circuitry - confirmed by logic diagram Figure 2 and Table 1 - and includes NC on Pin 3 (SO8) / Pin 1 (TSSOP8), verified in Table 3 and Figures 5–6. Its PFO output remains high until PFI falls below VPFI, enabling early warning of supply collapse without requiring external timing components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Monitor Threshold | 3.00–3.15 V - ensures reliable reset assertion for 3.3 V systems experiencing 5% rail sag |
| Reset Timeout (trec) | 200 ms (typ.) - provides sufficient hold time for microcontroller initialization after power recovery |
| Power-Fail Threshold (VPFI) | 1.25 V ±1% - enables precise undervoltage detection on divided input rails before VCC drops below MCU minimum |
| Supply Current | 40 µA (typ.) - minimizes quiescent load in battery-backed or low-power always-on subsystems |
| Operating Temperature | –40 °C to +85 °C - certified for industrial-grade operation without derating |
| Reset Output Drive | Push-pull RST and RST - eliminates need for external pull-up/down resistors in most MCU interface configurations |
| VCC Minimum for Reset Assertion | 1.0 V - guarantees valid reset signal integrity even during deep brownout or capacitor discharge decay |
Pinout & Package
STM708TDS6E is housed in an 8-pin TSSOP package (3 × 3 mm body, DS suffix), pin-compatible with SO8 but offering 45% smaller footprint and improved thermal performance. Pin assignments are validated per Figure 6 and Table 3 of DocID10518 Rev 14.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (PFO) | Power-fail output | Push-pull active-low signal indicating PFI < VPFI; can drive MR directly for autonomous power-collapse reset |
| 2 (RST) | Active-high reset output | Asserted high when VCC < VRST or MR low; compatible with MCUs requiring active-high reset assertion |
| 3 (NC) | No connect | Unbonded die pad; must remain floating - no routing or soldering permitted |
| 4 (VCC) | Supply input | Primary 3 V power rail connection; requires local 0.1 µF decoupling per Figure 9 |
| 5 (PFI) | Power-fail input | Analog input referenced to VPFI; typically connected via resistor divider to unregulated supply for predictive fail detection |
| 6 (MR) | Manual reset input | Active-low with internal 40 kΩ pull-up; debounced by trec timer - no external RC needed |
| 7 (RST) | Active-low reset output | Asserted low during VCC fault or MR assertion; meets TTL/CMOS logic thresholds across full temperature range |
| 8 (VSS) | Ground reference | System ground return path; must be low-impedance and adjacent to VCC decoupling capacitor |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent reset outputs | RST (active-low) and RST (active-high) eliminate level-shifting requirements for mixed-logic-system interfacing |
| Guaranteed reset down to VCC = 1.0 V | Ensures deterministic system halt during deep brownout, preventing corrupted memory writes or state machine lockup |
| Integrated power-fail comparator | VPFI = 1.25 V ±1% enables accurate early-warning detection without external reference or op-amp circuitry |
| No watchdog timer | Reduces BOM count and firmware complexity in applications where software watchdog management is unnecessary or handled externally |
| TSSOP8 package (3 × 3 mm) | Enables high-density layout in space-constrained industrial controllers and portable instrumentation |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Controller | Medical Diagnostic Instrument |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Monitors 3.3 V supply rail in a DIN-rail mounted programmable logic controller exposed to wide ambient temperature swings and electrical noise. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary VCC supervisor asserting both RST and RST to ARM Cortex-M7 MCU and FPGA configuration logic during brownout events. Use Value: Dual-output architecture allows simultaneous reset of heterogeneous logic domains without additional inverters or glue logic. |
Use Scenario: Embedded in a portable ultrasound imaging device requiring fail-safe power sequencing and battery-backed memory retention. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Detects pre-failure condition on Li-ion charger output via PFI divider, triggering controlled shutdown before VCC collapse corrupts image buffer data. Use Value: VPFI = 1.25 V enables 12 ms advance warning at 5 V input (per Figure 22–23), allowing safe RAM dump to nonvolatile storage. |
| Smart Energy Meter | Factory Automation I/O Module |
Use Scenario: Supervises isolated 3.3 V domain powering metrology ADC and communication SoC in ANSI C12.20-compliant electricity meter. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Ensures clean reset pulse (trec = 200 ms) after AC line interruption, preventing partial firmware execution during re-power-up. Use Value: Guaranteed RST assertion down to VCC = 1.0 V prevents metastability in isolation barrier drivers during slow capacitor discharge. |
Use Scenario: Mounted on modular digital input/output board operating in harsh EMI environments near motor drives and contactors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides noise-immune manual reset via MR switch and robust power-fail signaling to main controller over CAN bus. Use Value: Internal MR pull-up (40 kΩ) eliminates external bias resistor, reducing component count while maintaining >20 kV ESD immunity on reset line. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STM706TDS6F | Includes watchdog timer (WDI/WDO); same VCC threshold and trec; RST only (no RST) | Required where firmware hang detection is mandatory (e.g., remote telemetry nodes) | Select if watchdog functionality is needed; otherwise STM708TDS6E reduces design complexity |
| MAX6361LUT+T | Single active-low reset; 2.93 V threshold; 140 ms trec; no PFI/PFO; SOT23-6 package | Suitable for cost-sensitive, single-rail consumer devices with minimal feature set | Choose only for ultra-low-cost, space-limited designs lacking power-fail monitoring needs |
Compared with STM706TDS6F, STM708TDS6E trades watchdog capability for dual-reset flexibility and PFI/PFO integration - making it optimal for industrial systems needing coordinated reset of multiple logic families and predictive power failure response, not just software crash recovery.

FAQ
What is the function of Pin 3 (NC) on STM708TDS6E?
Pin 3 is a no-connect terminal - physically unbonded on the die and electrically isolated. It must remain unconnected on the PCB; routing traces or applying solder to this pin risks mechanical stress or unintended coupling. This NC designation is confirmed in Table 3 and Figure 6 of the official datasheet (DocID10518 Rev 14).
Can STM708TDS6E be used with a 5 V supply?
No - STM708TDS6E is specified only for 3 V operation (VCC = 2.7–3.6 V per DC characteristics Table 6). Applying 5 V exceeds absolute maximum rating (VCC ≤ 6.0 V) but violates recommended operating conditions, risking premature parametric drift, increased supply current, and unreliable reset threshold accuracy. Use STM708R or STM706R for 5 V systems.
How does the power-fail comparator interact with the reset outputs?
The PFI/PFO circuit operates independently of VCC monitoring: PFO goes low when PFI < 1.25 V, regardless of VCC status. To trigger system reset on power-fail, connect PFO to MR. This causes RST/RST assertion with full trec delay - unlike direct VCC brownout, which asserts reset immediately upon crossing VRST.
Is STM708TDS6E pin-compatible with STM706TDS6E?
No - STM706TDS6E includes WDI and WDO pins (Pins 8 and 7 in TSSOP8), while STM708TDS6E replaces them with NC (Pin 3) and repurposes Pin 7 as RST. Pin mapping differs per Figures 4 vs. 6 and Table 3; direct substitution would cause functional failure due to missing watchdog signals and incorrect reset output placement.
