Product details
Overview
The MAX6709IUB+ from Maxim Integrated is a low-power, quad voltage monitor IC designed for multivoltage system supervision. It provides four independent active-low open-drain power-good outputs (PWRGD1–PWRGD4), monitors adjustable/precision thresholds at 3.3V and 2.5V with ±2.0% accuracy, operates from 2.0V to 5.5V supply, consumes only 35µA typical supply current, and features factory-trimmed 10% tolerance thresholds - used in desktop computers, telecom equipment, and data storage systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6709IUB+ datasheet, MAX6709IUB+ pinout, MAX6709IUB+ application, or MAX6709IUB+ equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, µMAX package layout, real-world use scenarios, and validated alternative options for multivoltage power sequencing and system reset integrity.
Technical Context
The MAX6709IUB+ integrates four precision comparators with an internal 0.62V bandgap reference and factory-configured resistor-divider networks for fixed-voltage monitoring (3.3V, 2.5V) and two adjustable inputs (IN1, IN4) referenced to 0.62V. Each comparator drives an independent open-drain output with 10µA internal pullup to VCC, enabling wire-ORed power-good signaling without external components.
It implements built-in 0.3% threshold hysteresis and undervoltage lockout (UVLO) that forces all outputs low when VCC drops below 2.0V. The device is fully specified across –40°C to +85°C and immune to supply transients up to 100µs duration at typical overdrive levels.

| Data Storage Controller Board | Industrial Multivoltage PLC Module |
Use Scenario: Validating 3.3V SATA controller, 2.5V SSD interface, and two configurable rails (e.g., 1.8V PHY, 1.0V FPGA core) on a RAID controller board. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Centralized power-good arbiter feeding FPGA configuration logic and enabling sequenced peripheral bring-up.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad voltage monitoring applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6710IUB+ | Same pinout and package; differs only in threshold tolerance (5% vs. 10% for MAX6709IUB+); identical 3.3V/2.5V/adjustable configuration. | Used where tighter supply tolerance (±2.5%) is required for high-reliability compute or storage subsystems. | Select MAX6710IUB+ when design mandates <5% trip uncertainty under worst-case temp/voltage conditions. |
| TPS3307-33DBVR | Triple voltage monitor (not quad); fixed 3.3V/3.3V/RESET thresholds; no adjustable inputs; 6-pin SOT-23 package. | Limited to dual-rail + reset applications; lacks second adjustable channel and quad independence. | Choose only if system requires exactly three monitored rails and space constraints favor SOT-23 over µMAX. |
Compared with MAX6710IUB+, the MAX6709IUB+ offers relaxed 10% trip tolerance for cost-sensitive designs with looser supply specs; compared with TPS3307-33DBVR, it provides full quad independence and dual adjustable inputs - essential for complex multivoltage sequencing where rail dependencies must be decoupled.

FAQ
What is the exact threshold voltage for the 3.3V input on the MAX6709IUB+?
The MAX6709IUB+ has a factory-trimmed 3.3V input (IN2) with –10% tolerance, resulting in a precise trip point of 2.97V (nominal 3.3V × 0.9). This value is guaranteed across –40°C to +85°C with ±2.0% accuracy, and appears in the Selector Guide as "3.3V (–10%)" for the MAX6709IUB+ variant. No external components are needed to achieve this threshold.
Does the MAX6709IUB+ support monitoring a 1.8V supply?
No, the MAX6709IUB+ does not support 1.8V monitoring. Its fixed inputs are configured for 3.3V and 2.5V (both –10%), and its two adjustable inputs (IN1, IN4) are referenced to 0.62V - meaning they can monitor voltages ≥0.62V using external resistor dividers. To supervise 1.8V, a divider scaling 1.8V down to 0.62V would be required, but the MAX6709IUB+'s Selector Guide confirms no 1.8V fixed option is assigned to this part number.
Can the MAX6709IUB+ outputs drive a 5V logic input directly?
Yes, the MAX6709IUB+ outputs are open-drain with 10µA internal pullup to VCC, but they can be overdriven by an external pullup to 5V. Internal circuitry blocks reverse current flow from the external 5V pullup into VCC, allowing safe interfacing with 5V-tolerant inputs even when VCC = 3.3V or 2.5V. This is explicitly supported in the Applications Information section.
What is the propagation delay of the MAX6709IUB+ comparators?
The MAX6709IUB+ exhibits a typical propagation delay of 5µs (with 10mV/µs slew rate and 100mV overdrive), measured from input crossing threshold to output transition. This value is consistent across all four channels and is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Propagation Delay (tPD)". Delay remains stable over temperature and supply voltage variations.
Is there a manual reset (MR) input on the MAX6709IUB+?
No, the MAX6709IUB+ does not include a manual reset (MR) input. MR is exclusive to the MAX6714 family (e.g., MAX6714IUB+). The MAX6709IUB+ is a pure quad voltage monitor with four PWRGD outputs only - it lacks RESET assertion logic, timeout circuitry, or MR functionality. This distinction is clearly defined in the Pin Description and Functional Diagram sections of the datasheet.
