The MAX706P (and related MAX708 variants) are low‑cost microprocessor supervisory circuits that monitor +3 V to +5 V supplies. They provide a precision voltage‑monitor, reset output, manual‑reset input, and a watchdog timer to improve system reliability.
Key features include a 2.63 V reset threshold, 100 µA quiescent current, 1.6 s watchdog timeout, and active‑high reset output for the MAX706P. The devices are offered in 8‑pin SO, DIP, and plastic‑DIP packages and operate over a wide supply range.
| Supply Voltage Range (VCC) | 2.0 V to 5.6 V |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold Voltage | 2.63 V (MAX706P) |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6 s |
| Quiescent Current | ≈ 100 µA |
| Reset Output Type (MAX706P) | Active‑High Only |
The watchdog timer times out after 1.6 seconds.
The reset threshold is set at 2.63 V.
The device draws about 100 µA of quiescent current.
