Product details
Overview
The MAX6709BUB+T from Maxim Integrated is a quad voltage monitor IC for multivoltage systems, providing four independent active-low open-drain power-good outputs (PWRGD1–PWRGD4) with 10µA internal pullups to VCC, factory-trimmed thresholds for 5.0V/3.3V/2.5V inputs at ±5% tolerance, and adjustable monitoring down to 0.62V - used in server power sequencing and telecom board-level supervision.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6709BUB+T datasheet, MAX6709BUB+T pinout, MAX6709BUB+T application, or MAX6709BUB+T equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, µMAX package layout, real-world use cases in multivoltage computing systems, and validated alternative parts with documented functional distinctions.
Technical Context
The MAX6709BUB+T integrates four precision comparators with an internal 0.62V bandgap reference and factory-laser-trimmed resistor-divider networks for fixed-threshold monitoring of 5.0V, 3.3V, and 2.5V supplies at ±5% tolerance. Its fourth input (IN4) is adjustable via external resistor divider, enabling custom threshold setting from 0.62V upward.
An undervoltage lockout circuit forces all PWRGD outputs low when VCC drops below 2.0V; each output features high-input-impedance sensing and 0.3% typical hysteresis. The device operates across –40°C to +85°C with supply current of 35µA (typ) at 5V and supports wire-ORed power-good signaling via open-drain topology.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.0V to 5.5V - powers the IC and defines minimum operating headroom for reliable output assertion. |
| Supply Current (typ) | 35µA at VCC = 5V - enables ultra-low-power supervision in battery-backed or energy-sensitive systems. |
| Threshold Accuracy | ±2.0% over temperature - ensures precise trip points without calibration or trimming components. |
| Input Threshold Options | 5.0V (4.75V), 3.3V (3.15V), 2.5V (2.38V) at –5% - matches common LDO and DC-DC output tolerances. |
| Adjustable Threshold Range | 0.609V to 0.635V (IN4) - allows monitoring of sub-1V rails using external resistor divider. |
| Output Type | Four independent open-drain PWRGD outputs with 10µA internal pullup to VCC - supports flexible logic interfacing and wire-OR configurations. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and telecom equipment environments. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 10-pin µMAX (3.0mm × 3.0mm, 0.6mm height, 0.5mm pitch), lead-free, RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | IN1 | Fixed-threshold input for 5.0V nominal supply (trip at 4.75V, –5%). Monitored voltage must be stable during power-up. |
| 2 | IN2 | Fixed-threshold input for 3.3V nominal supply (trip at 3.15V, –5%). Supports clean power-good assertion before processor boot. |
| 3 | IN3 | Fixed-threshold input for 2.5V nominal supply (trip at 2.38V, –5%). Enables rail-specific sequencing control in FPGA or ASIC power domains. |
| 4 | IN4 | Adjustable-threshold input referenced to 0.62V - requires external resistor divider to set custom trip point (e.g., 1.2V, 1.8V). |
| 5 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference - must be connected to system ground plane with low-inductance path. |
| 6 | PWRGD4 | Active-low open-drain output asserting when IN4 falls below threshold - sinks up to 2mA, pulled up internally to VCC (10µA). |
| 7 | PWRGD3 | Active-low open-drain output asserting when IN3 falls below threshold - compatible with 1.8V/3.3V/5V logic families via external pullup. |
| 8 | PWRGD2 | Active-low open-drain output asserting when IN2 falls below threshold - supports daisy-chained reset propagation in multi-rail systems. |
| 9 | PWRGD1 | Active-low open-drain output asserting when IN1 falls below threshold - provides primary power-good signal for CPU or FPGA configuration. |
| 10 | VCC | Power supply input (2.0V–5.5V) - also monitored by internal UVLO; forces all outputs low if <2.0V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quad independent monitoring | Four separate comparator channels enable simultaneous validation of distinct power rails without shared timing or dependency. |
| Factory-trimmed thresholds | Eliminates need for external resistors on 5.0V/3.3V/2.5V inputs - reduces BOM count and PCB area in space-constrained designs. |
| Adjustable input (IN4) | Supports custom voltage monitoring (e.g., 1.2V core, 1.8V I/O) using two external resistors - extends usability beyond standard rails. |
| Internal 10µA pullup | Enables direct interface to 1.8V/3.3V/5V logic without external pullup resistors - simplifies level translation and reduces component count. |
| 0.3% typical hysteresis | Prevents output oscillation near trip point without external feedback components - improves noise immunity in noisy power environments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad voltage monitoring applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6709CUB+T | Same 10-pin µMAX package and pinout; differs in IN3 threshold (1.8V @ –10%) and IN4 adjustability. | Targets systems requiring 1.8V core rail monitoring with looser tolerance; not suitable for 2.5V rail validation. | Select MAX6709CUB+T only when 1.8V/–10% and adjustable IN4 are required; MAX6709BUB+T is optimal for 2.5V/–5% accuracy-critical designs. |
| TPS3307-33DGNR | Triple voltage monitor (not quad); fixed 3.3V/2.5V/1.8V thresholds; no adjustable input; 8-pin MSOP package. | Lacks fourth channel and adjustable threshold - requires supplemental circuitry for full quad coverage or custom rails. | Use TPS3307-33DGNR only in cost-sensitive, triple-rail applications where IN4 functionality is unnecessary or implemented externally. |
Compared with MAX6709CUB+T and TPS3307-33DGNR, the MAX6709BUB+T uniquely delivers 5.0V/3.3V/2.5V at tight –5% tolerance plus one fully adjustable input in a compact µMAX package - making it the only option supporting both precision 2.5V monitoring and flexible sub-1V rail supervision without added components.

FAQ
What is the function of the IN4 pin on the MAX6709BUB+T?
The IN4 pin on the MAX6709BUB+T is an adjustable-threshold input referenced to an internal 0.62V comparator threshold. It requires an external resistor divider to scale higher voltages (e.g., 1.2V, 1.8V) down to the 0.62V reference level. This enables custom rail monitoring not covered by the factory-trimmed 5.0V/3.3V/2.5V inputs, and the MAX6709BUB+T datasheet specifies its trip range as 0.609V to 0.635V with ±2.0% accuracy.
Does the MAX6709BUB+T provide reset timing or manual reset capability?
No, the MAX6709BUB+T does not include reset timing or manual reset (MR) functionality. It is a pure quad voltage monitor with four independent PWRGD outputs. Reset timing and MR input are exclusive to the MAX6714 family. The MAX6709BUB+T asserts PWRGD outputs immediately upon threshold violation with no built-in delay - timing must be managed externally if needed.
Can the MAX6709BUB+T monitor a 1.8V supply?
No, the MAX6709BUB+T is configured for 5.0V, 3.3V, and 2.5V fixed thresholds per its Selector Guide; IN3 is trimmed to 2.5V (2.38V trip). To monitor 1.8V, use MAX6709CUB+T or MAX6709DUB+T, which specify IN3 as 1.8V. Alternatively, route 1.8V through the adjustable IN4 pin using a resistor divider to scale it to ~0.62V - but this requires external components and forfeits factory-trimmed accuracy.
What is the maximum sink current supported by the PWRGD outputs of the MAX6709BUB+T?
The PWRGD outputs of the MAX6709BUB+T support a maximum sink current of 2mA while maintaining VOL ≤ 0.3V (tested at VCC = 5V and VCC = 2.5V). This rating ensures compatibility with standard CMOS and TTL inputs. The internal 10µA pullup remains active during sinking, allowing wire-OR configurations - but external pullups may be added for faster rise times or higher-voltage logic interfacing.
Is the MAX6709BUB+T pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX6709/MAX6714 family?
The MAX6709BUB+T shares the same 10-pin µMAX footprint and pinout with all MAX6709 variants (e.g., MAX6709AUB+T, MAX6709CUB+T), but is not pin-compatible with MAX6714 devices, which substitute PWRGD pins for PFI/PFO/RESET/MR functions. Swapping MAX6709BUB+T for a MAX6714 variant requires PCB redesign due to incompatible pin mapping and functional differences.
