What the 4.65V threshold means for your rail
The MAX701ESA+ is a simple reset/power-on reset supervisor that monitors a single voltage rail. Its 4.65V threshold is set for 5V nominal supplies — it asserts reset when VCC drops below that level, giving the downstream logic a clean restart after the 200ms minimum timeout. Both active-high and active-low reset outputs are available from the same push-pull output stage, so it can interface directly with either polarity of processor reset input without an external inverter.
