Product details
Overview
The MAX6709NUB+ 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 thresholds down to 0.62V via external resistor dividers, operates from 2.0V to 5.5V supply, consumes only 35µA typical supply current, and features ±2.0% threshold accuracy across –40°C to +85°C - used in desktop/notebook computers and data storage equipment for reliable power sequencing and fault detection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6709NUB+ datasheet, MAX6709NUB+ pinout, MAX6709NUB+ application, or MAX6709NUB+ equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world use cases, and validated alternative options - all grounded in Maxim's official specifications for the MAX6709NUB+ variant with 5% tolerance on IN2 (3.0V nominal) and adjustable thresholds on IN1, IN3, and IN4.
Technical Context
The MAX6709NUB+ implements four precision comparators with an internal 0.62V bandgap reference and factory-trimmed resistor-divider networks for fixed thresholds; its adjustable inputs (IN1/IN3/IN4) bypass those networks and accept externally scaled voltages. Each comparator includes built-in 0.3% threshold hysteresis to reject noise without external components.
All four PWRGD outputs are open-drain with 10µA internal pullup to VCC, enabling wire-ORed power-good signaling. An undervoltage lockout circuit forces all outputs low when VCC drops below 2.0V, ensuring deterministic behavior down to 1V operation per test conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.0V to 5.5V - supports direct connection to common logic rails without level-shifting. |
| Supply Current (typ) | 35µA at VCC = 5V - enables always-on monitoring in battery-backed or low-power systems. |
| Threshold Accuracy | ±2.0% over –40°C to +85°C - ensures reliable trip points across industrial temperature range. |
| Adjustable Threshold | 0.62V internal reference - allows monitoring of any input ≥0.62V using external resistor divider. |
| Output Type | Four independent active-low open-drain outputs with 10µA internal pullup - simplifies interface to diverse logic families and enables wired-AND power-good aggregation. |
| Input Tolerance Option | 5% trip threshold for IN2 (3.0V nominal) - matches standard 3.0V supply tolerance requirements. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for extended industrial and computing environments. |
Pinout & Package
The MAX6709NUB+ is housed in a 10-pin µMAX package (3.0mm × 3.0mm, 0.6mm height), lead-free, with exposed pad for thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | IN1 | Adjustable voltage monitor input - connects to external resistor divider for custom threshold ≥0.62V. |
| 2 | IN2 | Fixed 3.0V nominal monitor input with 5% tolerance - asserts PWRGD2 low if voltage falls below 2.85V. |
| 3 | IN3 | Adjustable voltage monitor input - connects to external resistor divider for custom threshold ≥0.62V. |
| 4 | IN4 | Adjustable voltage monitor input - connects to external resistor divider for custom threshold ≥0.62V. |
| 5 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference - must be low-impedance connection for stable comparator operation. |
| 6 | PWRGD4 | Active-low open-drain output - sinks current when IN4 falls below threshold; 10µA internal pullup to VCC. |
| 7 | PWRGD3 | Active-low open-drain output - sinks current when IN3 falls below threshold; 10µA internal pullup to VCC. |
| 8 | PWRGD2 | Active-low open-drain output - sinks current when IN2 falls below 2.85V; 10µA internal pullup to VCC. |
| 9 | PWRGD1 | Active-low open-drain output - sinks current when IN1 falls below threshold; 10µA internal pullup to VCC. |
| 10 | VCC | Power supply input - powers internal circuitry; undervoltage lockout disables all outputs below 2.0V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quad independent monitoring | Four separate comparator channels enable concurrent supervision of mixed-voltage rails (e.g., 3.0V core + three adjustable supplies). |
| Factory-trimmed thresholds | IN2 preset to 3.0V ±5% eliminates calibration effort and external resistors for that rail. |
| Adjustable inputs (3×) | IN1/IN3/IN4 accept scalable thresholds via resistor dividers - supports monitoring of 0.62V to >5.5V supplies. |
| Low quiescent current | 35µA typical ICC allows integration into always-on supervisory circuits without impacting system power budget. |
| Built-in hysteresis | 0.3% of threshold voltage prevents chatter during slow or noisy supply transitions - no external feedback required. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad voltage monitor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6705NPA+ | 3-input monitor with manual reset; no adjustable inputs; 5.0V/3.3V/2.5V fixed thresholds only. | Lacks IN1/IN3/IN4 adjustability and 3.0V option - unsuitable for designs requiring flexible rail monitoring. | Select MAX6705NPA+ only if exactly three fixed-rail monitoring is sufficient and 3.0V support is not needed. |
| TPS3307-33DGNR | Triple voltage supervisor (3.3V/3.3V/3.3V); no adjustable inputs; 200ms reset timeout; higher ICC (80µA). | Cannot replace quad monitoring or adjustable thresholds; requires external components for non-3.3V rails. | Choose TPS3307-33DGNR only for cost-sensitive 3.3V-only systems where fourth rail is handled separately. |
Compared with MAX6709NUB+, MAX6705NPA+ offers fewer inputs and no adjustability, limiting flexibility in multivoltage designs; TPS3307-33DGNR provides triple 3.3V monitoring but lacks the 3.0V ±5% channel and adjustable capability essential for heterogeneous supply supervision.

FAQ
What is the exact threshold voltage and tolerance for IN2 on the MAX6709NUB+?
The MAX6709NUB+ has IN2 configured for 3.0V nominal monitoring with 5% tolerance, meaning it asserts PWRGD2 low when the input falls below 2.85V. This is confirmed in Maxim's Selector Guide for MAX6709NUB+, where "N" denotes 5% tolerance on the second input. The threshold is factory-trimmed and specified with ±2.0% accuracy over temperature.
Does the MAX6709NUB+ include a reset timer or manual reset input?
No, the MAX6709NUB+ does not include a reset timer or manual reset (MR) input. Those features are exclusive to the MAX6714 family. The MAX6709NUB+ provides only four independent PWRGD outputs with no integrated timing or MR functionality - it is a pure quad voltage monitor without reset generation capability.
Can the MAX6709NUB+ monitor a 1.2V supply?
Yes, the MAX6709NUB+ can monitor a 1.2V supply using any of its three adjustable inputs (IN1, IN3, or IN4). With the internal 0.62V reference, a resistor divider scaling 1.2V down to 0.62V (e.g., R1/R2 ≈ 0.94) enables precise detection. The device's ±2.0% threshold accuracy ensures reliable 1.2V supervision across temperature.
What is the maximum sink current supported by each PWRGD output of the MAX6709NUB+?
Each PWRGD output of the MAX6709NUB+ is rated to sink up to 2mA while maintaining VOL ≤ 0.3V at VCC = 5V, per the Electrical Characteristics table. At lower VCC (e.g., 2.5V), it sustains 1.2mA sink with the same VOL limit. The 10µA internal pullup remains active regardless of sink load.
Is the MAX6709NUB+ pin-compatible with other MAX6709 variants like MAX6709AUB+?
Yes, all MAX6709 variants including MAX6709NUB+ share identical 10-pin µMAX pinout and footprint. Differences lie solely in factory-configured threshold voltages and tolerances (e.g., IN2 = 3.0V ±5% for N vs. 2.5V ±10% for A), not in connectivity or electrical interface - enabling drop-in replacement within the same package.
