Product details
Overview
MAX6712TEXS+ from Maxim Integrated is a precision microprocessor supervisory circuit with active-high push-pull RESET output, designed to monitor +3.0V power supplies in embedded systems. It asserts reset when VCC falls below 3.08V (typ), maintains reset for ≥140ms after recovery, and draws only 12µA supply current at VCC < 3.6V and TA ≤ +85°C. It features a debounced manual reset input (MR), guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = +1V, and operates across –40°C to +125°C.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6712TEXS+ datasheet, MAX6712TEXS+ pinout, MAX6712TEXS+ application, or MAX6712TEXS+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.08V reset threshold, active-high push-pull output, SC70-4 package, manual reset timing behavior, and immunity to fast VCC transients - all critical for reliable power-on reset in battery-powered and industrial µP systems.
Technical Context
The MAX6712TEXS+ integrates a precision voltage comparator with 30ppm/°C tempco and internal 20kΩ MR pull-up resistor, enabling robust brownout detection without external components. Its reset timeout is temperature-compensated, delivering 140–460ms assertion over –40°C to +125°C.
Unlike open-drain variants (e.g., MAX6713), the MAX6712TEXS+ uses a push-pull output stage that actively drives high and low, eliminating need for external pull-up resistors. Its MR input accepts TTL/CMOS logic levels and supports noise immunity via optional 0.1µF capacitor to ground.

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 GND | Ground reference | Return path for internal comparator and output driver; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane |

| 3 MR | Manual reset input | Active-low input with internal 20kΩ pull-up; deasserts reset after ≥140ms delay upon release; immune to <100ns glitches |
| 4 VCC | Supply voltage input | Monitored rail (+3.0V nominal); powers internal circuitry and defines reset threshold reference |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision 3.08V threshold | ±1.5% tolerance over temperature ensures deterministic reset point for 3.0V systems without calibration |
| No external components | Integrated MR pull-up, comparator, and push-pull driver eliminate discrete resistors/capacitors, reducing BOM count and board area |
| 140ms min reset pulse | Guaranteed minimum duration prevents premature µP release during slow-rising or noisy power rails |
| VCC transient immunity | Rejects negative-going VCC glitches as short as 20µs at 100mV overdrive, preventing spurious resets |
| Valid reset to 1V | RESET remains functional even as VCC decays to 1V, ensuring fail-safe behavior during deep brownout |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6712TES+ | Same 3.08V threshold and push-pull output, but in leaded (non-RoHS) SC70 package; no "+" suffix in ordering code | Used in legacy designs requiring Pb-containing solder compatibility or exemption from RoHS compliance | Select MAX6712TES+ only if leaded assembly process is mandated; otherwise MAX6712TEXS+ is preferred for RoHS compliance |
| TPS3123E18DBVR | 3.08V threshold, active-high push-pull, but rated only to +85°C; 2.5µA typical ICC vs. 12µA | Suitable for commercial-grade consumer electronics, not extended-temp industrial or automotive use | Choose TPS3123E18DBVR for cost-sensitive, non-extended-temp applications where ultra-low ICC is prioritized over temperature range |
Compared with MAX6712TEXS+, MAX6712TES+ offers identical electrical performance but lacks RoHS compliance, while TPS3123E18DBVR trades temperature range and reset timing stability for lower quiescent current - making MAX6712TEXS+ optimal for ruggedized, wide-temperature µP supervision.

FAQ
What is the reset threshold voltage of the MAX6712TEXS+ and how does it vary with temperature?
The MAX6712TEXS+ has a nominal reset threshold of 3.08V at +25°C, with ±1.5% tolerance over –40°C to +125°C. Its temperature coefficient is 30ppm/°C, meaning the threshold drifts less than ±15mV across the full operating range - ensuring predictable brownout response in thermal-cycling environments. This value is factory-trimmed and specified in the Electrical Characteristics table of the MAX6712TEXS+ datasheet.
Does the MAX6712TEXS+ require external components for basic reset functionality?
No, the MAX6712TEXS+ requires no external components for core supervision: its internal 20kΩ MR pull-up resistor, precision voltage reference, and push-pull RESET driver eliminate the need for discrete resistors, capacitors, or diodes. Only bypass capacitance (e.g., 0.1µF ceramic near VCC) is recommended for noise immunity - a standard practice, not a functional requirement for MAX6712TEXS+ operation.
How does the manual reset (MR) input behave on the MAX6712TEXS+?
The MR input on the MAX6712TEXS+ is active-low with an internal 20kΩ pull-up resistor. When pulled low (≤0.3×VCC), it immediately asserts RESET; RESET remains asserted for ≥140ms after MR returns high. The input rejects glitches <100ns and supports direct connection to switches, logic gates, or open-drain drivers - no external debounce circuitry is needed for MAX6712TEXS+.
What is the supply current consumption of the MAX6712TEXS+ across its operating conditions?
The MAX6712TEXS+ draws 12µA (typ) at VCC < 3.6V and TA ≤ +85°C, rising to 75µA at +85°C to +105°C. At VCC = 1V, supply current remains functional but increases slightly. This ultra-low ICC enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered devices and aligns with the MAX6712TEXS+ design goal of minimizing standby power in portable systems.
Can the MAX6712TEXS+ operate reliably during fast VCC transients or power glitches?
Yes, the MAX6712TEXS+ is designed to ignore fast negative-going VCC transients: a 100mV overdrive glitch lasting ≤20µs (at +25°C) will not trigger a false reset. This immunity stems from internal comparator hysteresis and filtering, validated in the "Negative-Going VCC Transients" section of the MAX6712TEXS+ datasheet - critical for noisy DC-DC converter outputs or shared power rails.
