What this supervisor does
The reset outputs are push-pull, totem-pole type, so no external pull-up resistor is needed on either output — they drive directly to the processor reset pins. The reset timeout is a minimum of 140ms, which is the standard duration to let the supply and oscillator stabilize before the processor starts executing code.
Where it fits in the BOM
Operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C covers industrial environments, outdoor telecom cabinets, and factory-floor controllers — not rated for automotive under-hood but fine for most commercial and industrial enclosures.
RoHS note — Pb-free designs need a different variant
This part is marked as RoHS non-compliant. For new designs requiring lead-free solder or EU RoHS compliance, look at the MAX706PESA+ (Pb-free) variant.
Sourcing and lifecycle
It is available through independent distribution and can be quoted to order against an RFQ.
