The CAT706 provides reset and monitoring functions for the electronic systems. Each device monitors the system voltage and maintains a reset output until that voltage reaches the device’s specified trip value and then maintains the reset output active condition until the device’s internal timer allows the system power supply to stabilize.

The CAT706 has a watchdog input which can be used to monitor a system signal and cause a reset to be issued if the signal fails to change state prior to a timeout condition.

The CAT706 provides a manual RESET input which initiates reset if pulled low. The CAT706 provides a RESET output which is low for the CAT706.

There is a secondary supply monitor included for power-fail warning (pin PFI).

The CAT706 has a threshold voltage 4.40V.
