Product details
Overview
MAX6709CUB from Maxim Integrated is a low-power quad voltage monitor IC designed for multivoltage system supervision, featuring four independent open-drain power-good outputs with 10µA internal pullups to VCC, factory-trimmed thresholds for 5.0V (−10%), 3.3V (−10%), and 1.8V (−10%) supplies, ±2.0% threshold accuracy, and operation from 2.0V to 5.5V supply. It is used in desktop computers and telecom equipment to validate rail integrity before system boot.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6709CUB datasheet, MAX6709CUB pinout, MAX6709CUB application, or MAX6709CUB equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, µMAX package layout, real-world use scenarios in multivoltage systems, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented functional and application-level differences.
Technical Context
The MAX6709CUB integrates four precision comparators with an internal 0.62V bandgap reference and factory-laser-trimmed resistor-divider networks to set nominal thresholds for IN1 = 5.0V, IN2 = 3.3V, IN3 = 1.8V, and IN4 = adjustable (via external divider). Each input has independent hysteresis (0.3 × VTH) and operates over −40°C to +85°C.
It uses BiCMOS process technology (1029 transistors), consumes only 35µA typical supply current at 5V, and includes undervoltage lockout that forces all PWRGD_ outputs low when VCC drops below 2.0V. All outputs are open-drain with weak internal pullups, enabling wire-ORed power-good signaling without external components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.0V to 5.5V - supports direct connection to monitored rails including 3.3V and 5V logic domains. |
| Supply Current (typ) | 35µA at VCC = 5V - enables always-on monitoring in battery-backed or low-power embedded systems. |
| Threshold Accuracy | ±2.0% over temperature - ensures reliable power-good assertion across industrial temperature range. |
| Input Thresholds | IN1 = 4.50V (5.0V −10%), IN2 = 2.93V (3.3V −10%), IN3 = 1.58V (1.8V −10%), IN4 = adjustable down to 0.62V - matches common DC-DC output tolerances without external resistors. |
| Output Type | Four independent active-low open-drain outputs (PWRGD1–PWRGD4) with 10µA internal pullup to VCC - simplifies interface to diverse logic families and enables wired-AND power-good bus. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and computing environments with no derating required. |
| Propagation Delay | 5µs (rising), 30µs (falling) - provides fast fault detection while avoiding false triggers from brief transients. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6709CUB is housed in a 10-pin µMAX package (3mm × 3mm, 0.5mm pitch), RoHS-compliant, with exposed pad for thermal enhancement. Pin 5 is GND; Pin 10 is VCC; Pins 1–4 are voltage inputs (IN1–IN4); Pins 6–9 are corresponding open-drain outputs (PWRGD4–PWRGD1).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | IN1 | Monitored input for 5.0V rail (−10% threshold = 4.50V); high-impedance node requiring no external components. |
| 2 | IN2 | Monitored input for 3.3V rail (−10% threshold = 2.93V); internally trimmed for precision without calibration. |
| 3 | IN3 | Monitored input for 1.8V rail (−10% threshold = 1.58V); optimized for modern low-voltage core supplies. |
| 4 | IN4 | Adjustable input referenced to 0.62V internal threshold; requires external resistor divider to set custom trip point. |
| 5 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference; must be connected to system ground plane for accurate threshold tracking. |
| 6 | PWRGD4 | Open-drain output asserting low when IN4 falls below its threshold; 10µA internal pullup allows direct logic interfacing. |
| 7 | PWRGD3 | Open-drain output asserting low when IN3 falls below 1.58V; electrically isolated from other outputs for independent status reporting. |
| 8 | PWRGD2 | Open-drain output asserting low when IN2 falls below 2.93V; compatible with 3.3V or 5V logic pullup voltages. |
| 9 | PWRGD1 | Open-drain output asserting low when IN1 falls below 4.50V; supports reset sequencing in multi-rail power-up sequences. |
| 10 | VCC | Power supply input (2.0V–5.5V); powers internal circuitry and serves as pullup source for all PWRGD_ outputs. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quad independent monitoring | Four separate comparator channels enable concurrent validation of 5V, 3.3V, 1.8V, and one user-defined rail-eliminates need for multiple discrete supervisors. |
| Factory-trimmed thresholds | IN1/IN2/IN3 thresholds laser-trimmed to ±2.0% accuracy-removes external resistor selection and calibration effort. |
| Adjustable fourth input | IN4 accepts external resistor divider to monitor any voltage ≥0.62V-supports custom rails like 2.5V, 1.2V, or battery levels. |
| Low quiescent current | 35µA typical ICC at 5V-enables continuous supervision in energy-constrained applications such as portable computing. |
| Integrated hysteresis | 0.3% of VTH built-in hysteresis prevents chatter during slow-moving or noisy supply transitions-no external feedback required. |
| Wire-OR compatible outputs | All PWRGD_ outputs are open-drain with 10µA internal pullup-allows simple OR-ing into a single system power-good signal without external diodes or logic. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad voltage monitoring applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6710CUB | Same pinout and package; differs only in threshold tolerance (5% instead of 10% on IN1/IN2/IN3); identical 35µA ICC and µMAX footprint. | Used where tighter supply regulation is enforced (e.g., server VRMs with ±3% tolerance), requiring earlier fault detection. | Select MAX6710CUB if system rails are guaranteed ≤±5% and early warning margin is prioritized over cost. |
| TPS3307-33D | Triple-monitor (not quad); offers 3.3V, 5.0V, and adjustable inputs; higher ICC (60µA); SOIC-8 package-not pin-compatible. | Suitable for space-constrained designs needing only three rails monitored; lacks IN3 = 1.8V fixed option and µMAX size. | Choose TPS3307-33D only when fourth rail monitoring is unnecessary and SOIC-8 layout already exists. |
Compared with MAX6710CUB and TPS3307-33D, the MAX6709CUB uniquely delivers four factory-set thresholds-including dedicated 1.8V support-in the smallest 10-pin µMAX package with lowest quiescent current, making it optimal for compact multivoltage systems requiring full rail visibility.

FAQ
What is the exact threshold voltage for IN3 on the MAX6709CUB?
The MAX6709CUB specifies IN3 as a 1.8V nominal input with −10% tolerance, resulting in a precise trip threshold of 1.58V (typical) over −40°C to +85°C. This value is factory-laser-trimmed and guaranteed by design, not calculated. The MAX6709CUB datasheet confirms VTH = 1.53V (min) to 1.62V (max) at TA = +25°C, with ±2.0% accuracy maintained across temperature.
Does the MAX6709CUB require external pullup resistors on its PWRGD outputs?
No, the MAX6709CUB includes 10µA internal pullup current sources to VCC on all four PWRGD outputs, eliminating the need for external pullups in most 3.3V or 5V logic interfaces. External pullups are only required when interfacing to logic supplies outside the 2.0V–5.5V range or when stronger drive capability is needed-internal circuitry prevents reverse current flow from external pullups to VCC.
Can the MAX6709CUB monitor a 2.5V supply?
Yes-the MAX6709CUB's IN4 input is adjustable and referenced to an internal 0.62V threshold. By connecting a resistor divider (e.g., R1 = 30.1kΩ, R2 = 10.0kΩ) between the 2.5V rail and GND, with the divider midpoint fed to IN4, the device monitors 2.5V with ±2.0% accuracy. The formula VINTH = 0.62V × (R1 + R2)/R2 applies, and the MAX6709CUB datasheet provides full design guidance.
What is the supply current consumption of the MAX6709CUB at 3.0V VCC?
The MAX6709CUB draws 25µA (typical) supply current at VCC = 3.0V, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This value is measured across −40°C to +85°C and reflects the device's ultra-low-power architecture-critical for always-on supervision in battery-buffered or energy-sensitive systems where the MAX6709CUB is deployed.
Is the MAX6709CUB pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX6709 family?
Yes-all MAX6709 variants (e.g., MAX6709AUB, MAX6709BUB, MAX6709CUB) share identical 10-pin µMAX packaging, pinout, and electrical interface. Only the factory-trimmed threshold voltages and tolerances differ between part numbers. This allows drop-in replacement during design iteration or qualification without PCB changes, provided the new thresholds match system requirements.
