MAX706PESA+T

Supervisors Overview

The MAX706PESA+T is a microprocessor supervisory circuit manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. under the Maxim Integrated brand, housed in an 8-pin SOIC package with tape and reel packaging. It operates within a supply voltage range of 1.2 V to 5.5 V and consumes 135 µA of quiescent current. The device features a fixed reset threshold voltage of 3.08 V with a power-fail output and includes an integrated watchdog timer. It supports both active-high and active-low outputs, offers a reset delay time of 200 ms, and functions reliably across an industrial temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Supervisors Feature Summary

• Integrates a watchdog timer for system fault recovery alongside voltage monitoring capabilities
• Provides dual active-high and active-low reset outputs for flexible logic interfacing
• Includes a dedicated power-fail output to detect out-of-specification supply conditions

Supervisors Applications

• Desktop and portable computer systems requiring reliable power supervision
• Battery-powered equipment needing efficient low-current monitoring
• Test and measurement instruments demanding stable reset sequences

Supervisors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation against official manufacturer documentation to confirm the exact threshold voltage and package configuration, as variations exist within the MAX706 family. Ensure that the tape and reel packaging aligns with automated assembly requirements. Cross-reference the RoHS compliance status and lead-free specifications with the latest datasheet to meet environmental regulations. Confirm availability through authorized distributors due to potential limited stock situations for legacy components.

Supervisors Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 3.08 V threshold is required for 3.3 V or 5 V systems. Consider the integrated watchdog feature if software lockup protection is necessary without external components. Evaluate the 135 µA quiescent current against battery life requirements for portable applications. Compare the SOIC-8 package dimensions against PCB layout constraints and thermal management needs relative to other available packages in the series.

Supervisors Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX706 series of low-cost, low-power microprocessor supervisory circuits designed by Maxim Integrated. The series provides essential reset generation and monitoring functions for digital systems. The PESA+ variant specifically denotes the plastic small-outline package with tape and reel delivery, distinguishing it from tube-packaged or through-hole alternatives within the same functional family.
