Product details
Overview
MAX6715UTWGD3+ from Maxim Integrated is a dual-voltage microprocessor supervisory circuit in SOT23-6 package, monitoring VCC1 (primary) and VCC2 (secondary) supply rails with factory-trimmed reset thresholds of 4.625V (VTH1) and 3.075V (VTH2), 210ms minimum reset timeout, and push-pull active-low RST output. It guarantees valid reset assertion down to VCC1 or VCC2 = 0.8V and draws only 14µA typical supply current at 3.6V - used in telecom power management and multivoltage embedded systems requiring reliable brownout detection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6715UTWGD3+ datasheet, MAX6715UTWGD3+ pinout, MAX6715UTWGD3+ application, or MAX6715UTWGD3+ equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-rail threshold accuracy (±1.5% over temperature), immunity to sub-20µs VCC transients, guaranteed reset validity at ultra-low supply (0.8V), and compatibility with manual reset, watchdog-free designs in space-constrained industrial controllers.
Technical Context
The MAX6715UTWGD3+ integrates two independent voltage comparators with internal 20ppm/°C tempco references, each feeding a shared reset timeout timer. Its push-pull RST output is referenced to VCC1 and sinks up to 3.2mA at 4.5V, eliminating external pull-up requirements for active-low reset signaling to µPs.
This variant lacks RSTIN, WDI, PFI/PFO, and RST2 - confirming it as a minimal dual-supply supervisor with fixed thresholds and no auxiliary monitoring or watchdog functionality. The D3 suffix explicitly denotes 210ms (min) reset timeout, and the 'W' and 'G' in the suffix map to VTH1 = 4.625V and VTH2 = 3.075V per Maxim's Reset Voltage Threshold Suffix Guide.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC1 Threshold | 4.625V (min 4.500V, max 4.750V) - ensures clean reset assertion before 5V rail collapse in server I/O subsystems. |
| VCC2 Threshold | 3.075V (min 3.000V, max 3.150V) - matches standard 3.3V LDO dropout margin for reliable secondary rail monitoring. |
| Reset Timeout | 210ms (min) - provides sufficient hold time for FPGA configuration or flash boot sequence completion. |
| Supply Current | 14µA (typ) at 3.6V - enables always-on supervision in battery-backed real-time clocks without measurable drain. |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for deployment in uncontrolled industrial enclosures and telecom line cards. |
| Reset Output Type | Push-pull active-low - drives µP RESET pin directly without external pull-up, reducing BOM count and layout area. |
| Valid Reset Down To | VCC1 or VCC2 ≥ 0.8V - maintains deterministic reset state during deep brownout, preventing spurious processor wake-up. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6715UTWGD3+ uses a 6-pin SOT23-6 package (2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm), optimized for high-density PCB layouts in portable and networking equipment. Pin 1 is RST (active-low push-pull reset output), Pin 2 is GND, Pin 3 is MR (active-low manual reset input with 50kΩ internal pull-up), Pin 4 is VCC2 (secondary supply input), Pin 5 is NC (no connect), Pin 6 is VCC1 (primary supply input).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RST | Active-low push-pull reset output | Asserts low when VCC1 < 4.625V or VCC2 < 3.075V; drives µP RESET directly; no external pull-up needed. |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all internal comparators, timer, and output driver; must be low-impedance. |
| 3 - MR | Active-low manual reset input | Pulled high internally to VCC1; pulling low forces immediate reset; debounced by 200ns delay and 100ns glitch rejection. |
| 4 - VCC2 | Secondary supply input | Powers internal circuitry when VCC2 > VCC1; sets VTH2 = 3.075V; monitored independently of VCC1. |
| 5 - NC | No connect | Internally unconnected; must remain floating or tied to GND per layout best practice; not usable as signal pin. |
| 6 - VCC1 | Primary supply input | Powers device when VCC1 > VCC2; sets VTH1 = 4.625V; referenced for RST output VOH/VOL specs and MR pull-up. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent voltage monitoring | Simultaneous VCC1 (4.625V) and VCC2 (3.075V) supervision with separate comparators avoids single-point failure in multirail systems. |

| 14µA typical supply current | Enables permanent supervision in energy-harvesting nodes and battery-backed memory retention circuits. |
| Push-pull RST output | Eliminates need for external pull-up resistor, reducing component count and PCB footprint in compact designs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-voltage supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6716UTLTD3+ | Same SOT23-6 package, identical 4.625V/3.075V thresholds and 210ms timeout, but features open-drain RST output instead of push-pull. | Requires external pull-up resistor; suitable where level-shifting or wired-OR reset bus is needed. | Select MAX6716UTLTD3+ only if system requires open-drain reset for bus sharing or voltage translation. |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | TI part with 3.3V fixed VDD monitor, 200ms timeout, 1.8µA quiescent current, SOT23-6, but monitors only one supply (VDD) - no VCC2 input. | Lacks secondary rail monitoring; cannot replace dual-supply supervision requirement of MAX6715UTWGD3+. | Use TPS3808G33DBVR only in single-rail applications where VCC2 monitoring is unnecessary and ultra-low IQ is prioritized. |
Compared with MAX6715UTWGD3+, MAX6716UTLTD3+ trades push-pull convenience for bus flexibility, while TPS3808G33DBVR sacrifices dual-rail capability for lower IQ - making MAX6715UTWGD3+ uniquely suited for compact dual-supply systems needing deterministic reset drive without external components.

FAQ
What are the exact reset threshold voltages for MAX6715UTWGD3+?
The MAX6715UTWGD3+ has factory-trimmed reset thresholds of 4.625V (VTH1) for VCC1 and 3.075V (VTH2) for VCC2, with tolerances of ±1.5% over -40°C to +85°C. These values are confirmed by the 'W' (VTH1 = 4.625V) and 'G' (VTH2 = 3.075V) characters in the part number suffix per Maxim's official Reset Voltage Threshold Suffix Guide.
Does MAX6715UTWGD3+ support watchdog or power-fail functionality?
No, MAX6715UTWGD3+ does not include watchdog input (WDI), power-fail input (PFI), or power-fail output (PFO). It is a dedicated dual-supply supervisor with only VCC1, VCC2, MR, RST, and GND pins - verified by its absence from the Selector Guide rows for WDI/PFI/PFO and its pin configuration matching MAX6715/MAX6716 variants.
What is the reset timeout period of MAX6715UTWGD3+ and how is it set?
The MAX6715UTWGD3+ has a minimum reset timeout period of 210ms, indicated by the 'D3' suffix in the part number. This value is factory-programmed and non-adjustable; timing is generated by an internal RC oscillator with ±30% variation over temperature and voltage, meeting JEDEC JESD78 requirements for minimum pulse width.
Can MAX6715UTWGD3+ operate with VCC1 and VCC2 swapped in the circuit?
No - MAX6715UTWGD3+ requires VCC1 to be the higher-voltage rail (4.625V threshold) and VCC2 the lower-voltage rail (3.075V threshold). The internal architecture assigns VTH1 exclusively to Pin 6 (VCC1) and VTH2 exclusively to Pin 4 (VCC2); swapping violates the specified operating conditions and invalidates reset behavior per Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables.
Is MAX6715UTWGD3+ pin-compatible with other MAX67xx devices in SOT23-6?
MAX6715UTWGD3+ shares the same 6-pin SOT23-6 footprint with MAX6716UTLTD3+, MAX6719UTLTD3+, and MAX6721UTLTD3+, but pin functions differ: Pin 1 is RST on all, Pin 3 is MR on MAX6715/MAX6716 but WDI on MAX6721, and Pin 5 is NC on MAX6715 but RSTIN on MAX6719 - direct replacement requires functional verification per Selector Guide.
