Product details
Overview
The MAX6709OUB+ from Maxim Integrated is a quad voltage monitor IC designed for multivoltage system supervision, featuring four independent adjustable-threshold inputs (each referenced to 0.62V), four active-low open-drain PWRGD outputs with 10µA internal pullups to VCC, ±2.0% threshold accuracy, 35µA typical supply current, and operation across 2.0V–5.5V supply and –40°C to +85°C temperature range - deployed in telecom power sequencing and server board management.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6709OUB+ datasheet, MAX6709OUB+ pinout, MAX6709OUB+ application, or MAX6709OUB+ equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specifications, µMAX package layout, real-world use scenarios in multivoltage systems, and two validated alternative parts with documented functional and application-level differences.
Technical Context
The MAX6709OUB+ implements four independent high-impedance comparators each biased against a precision 0.62V internal bandgap reference, enabling user-defined monitoring thresholds via external resistor dividers. All inputs support down-to-0.62V direct sensing or scalable higher-voltage monitoring using the formula VINTH = 0.62V × (R1 + R2)/R2.
No factory-trimmed fixed thresholds are applied - as indicated by "Adj*" for all four inputs in the Selector Guide - making it distinct from other MAX6709 variants. Its undervoltage lockout forces all PWRGD outputs low when VCC drops below 2.0V, and hysteresis is built-in at 0.3×VTH to prevent noise-induced oscillation without external components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.0V to 5.5V - supports direct connection to common logic rails including 3.3V and 5V supplies without level-shifting. |
| Supply Current (typ) | 35µA - enables always-on supervision in battery-backed or low-power embedded systems without significant load impact. |
| Input Threshold Accuracy | ±2.0% - ensures reliable trip point detection across temperature and supply variation, critical for stable power-good assertion. |
| Adjustable Threshold Range | Down to 0.62V - allows monitoring of core voltages such as 1.2V, 1.8V, or 3.3V using standard resistor dividers. |
| Output Type | Four independent active-low open-drain PWRGD outputs with 10µA internal pullup to VCC - permits wire-ORing into a single system power-good signal. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and computing environments including servers and networking equipment. |
| Hysteresis | 0.3×VTH - eliminates false triggering near threshold due to supply ripple or noise, eliminating need for external hysteresis circuitry. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 10-pin µMAX (3.0mm × 3.0mm, 0.6mm height, 0.5mm pitch), lead-free, RoHS-compliant surface-mount package optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | IN1 | Adjustable voltage monitor input - connects to external resistor divider for custom threshold setting; internally uncommitted when unused (must be grounded). |
| 2 | IN2 | Adjustable voltage monitor input - identical function to IN1; supports independent monitoring of second supply rail. |
| 3 | IN3 | Adjustable voltage monitor input - third independent adjustable comparator input for multi-rail supervision. |
| 4 | IN4 | Adjustable voltage monitor input - fourth configurable input; all four IN_ pins share same 0.62V internal reference. |
| 5 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference - must be connected to system ground plane with low-impedance path for accurate threshold stability. |
| 6 | PWRGD4 | Active-low open-drain output - asserts low when IN4 falls below its programmed threshold; 10µA internal pullup enables direct interface to 3.3V/5V logic. |
| 7 | PWRGD3 | Active-low open-drain output - dedicated to IN3; supports wire-OR configuration with other PWRGD outputs for consolidated power-good signaling. |
| 8 | PWRGD2 | Active-low open-drain output - tied to IN2 status; compatible with external pullups up to 5.5V, isolating VCC domain from downstream logic. |
| 9 | PWRGD1 | Active-low open-drain output - reflects IN1 condition; internal weak pullup avoids need for discrete resistors in most applications. |
| 10 | VCC | Power supply input - powers internal reference, comparators, and pullups; includes undervoltage lockout that forces all PWRGD outputs low below 2.0V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Four adjustable-threshold inputs | Each monitors arbitrary DC voltage ≥0.62V using external resistor divider - eliminates need for multiple fixed-threshold devices in complex power architectures. |
| ±2.0% threshold accuracy over temperature | Ensures consistent trip points from –40°C to +85°C without calibration - critical for reliable power sequencing in servers and telecom gear. |
| 10µA internal pullup per output | Enables direct interfacing with 1.8V–5.5V logic families without external pullups - reduces BOM count and layout area. |
| Wire-OR capable outputs | All four PWRGD outputs can be tied together to generate a single system-level power-good signal - simplifies host processor reset logic. |
| Built-in 0.3×VTH hysteresis | Prevents chatter during slow-rising/falling supply transitions - removes requirement for external positive feedback networks. |
Applications
| Telecom Power Sequencing | Server Board Management |
|---|---|
|

Use Value: 35µA supply current and µMAX footprint allow placement directly adjacent to ASIC power pins - minimizing trace inductance and improving noise immunity. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad voltage monitor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6714DUB+ | Fixed 3.3V VCC supply with three adjustable PFI inputs and one integrated RESET output with 140ms timeout - lacks fourth adjustable input and separate PWRGD outputs. | Designed for µP reset generation with power-fail detection, not general-purpose quad power-good signaling. | Select when system requires hardware reset assertion with timing control rather than four independent status flags. |
| TPS3307-33DGNR | Triple voltage monitor (not quad) with fixed 3.3V, 5.0V, and adjustable thresholds; 50µA supply current; no internal pullups - requires external pullups on all outputs. | Targeted at cost-sensitive consumer electronics; lacks extended temperature rating and hysteresis integration. | Choose only if exactly three rails need monitoring and BOM cost outweighs design flexibility and industrial qualification. |
Compared with MAX6709OUB+, MAX6714DUB+ provides reset timing but sacrifices output independence and configurability, while TPS3307-33DGNR offers lower unit cost at the expense of temperature range, accuracy, and feature integration - making MAX6709OUB+ optimal for demanding multivoltage industrial and computing applications.

FAQ
What is the exact threshold reference voltage used by MAX6709OUB+ for all adjustable inputs?
The MAX6709OUB+ uses an internal 0.62V ±2.0% bandgap reference for all four adjustable inputs (IN1–IN4). This reference is trimmed and temperature-compensated, enabling precise external threshold calculation via VINTH = 0.62V × (R1 + R2)/R2. The MAX6709OUB+ does not include any factory-set fixed thresholds - all inputs are fully adjustable per the Selector Guide.
Can MAX6709OUB+ monitor a 1.2V supply, and what resistor values are recommended?
Yes, the MAX6709OUB+ can monitor a 1.2V supply using IN1–IN4 with an external resistor divider. For a 1.2V input targeting the 0.62V reference, R1 ≈ 930Ω and R2 ≈ 1kΩ yields ~0.62V at the input (per R1 = R2 × (1.2V/0.62V − 1)). Use 1% tolerance resistors and keep divider current <1µA to avoid loading - confirmed in MAX6709OUB+ Typical Operating Circuit Figure 7.
Does MAX6709OUB+ provide built-in hysteresis, and how much is it?
Yes, the MAX6709OUB+ integrates hysteresis of 0.3×VTH (e.g., ~186mV for a 0.62V threshold) on all four inputs. This eliminates need for external positive feedback networks and prevents output oscillation during slow supply transitions - explicitly specified in Electrical Characteristics Table and Applications Information section.
What happens to MAX6709OUB+ outputs when VCC drops below 2.0V?
When VCC drops below 2.0V, the MAX6709OUB+'s internal undervoltage lockout circuit forces all four PWRGD outputs low regardless of input conditions. This behavior is guaranteed down to VCC = 1V (with reduced VOL spec), ensuring fail-safe signaling during brownout - detailed in Absolute Maximum Ratings and Pin Description sections.
Is MAX6709OUB+ pin-compatible with other MAX6709 variants like MAX6709BUB+?
No - while all MAX6709 variants share the same 10-pin µMAX package and pinout, MAX6709OUB+ differs functionally: it has four adjustable inputs (Adj*/Adj*/Adj*/Adj*), whereas MAX6709BUB+ has fixed 5.0V/3.3V/2.5V thresholds plus one adjustable input. The pin mapping is identical, but electrical behavior and threshold configuration are variant-specific per the Selector Guide.
