Product details
Overview
MAX6718UKSHD3 from Maxim Integrated is a dual-voltage microprocessor supervisory IC in 5-pin SOT23 package, monitoring VCC1 (primary supply) and VCC2 (secondary supply) with factory-trimmed reset thresholds - specifically 3.075V (±1.5%) for VCC1 and 1.275V (±1.5%) for VCC2 - and providing a 210ms (min) reset timeout period. It asserts an active-low push-pull RST output when either supply falls below its threshold and maintains reset for the full timeout after recovery, supporting reliable power-up sequencing in low-voltage embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6718UKSHD3 datasheet, MAX6718UKSHD3 pinout, MAX6718UKSHD3 application, or MAX6718UKSHD3 equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual-supply monitoring capability down to 0.8V operation, 14µA typical supply current at 3.6V, immunity to short VCC transients, and compatibility with 1.8V/0.9V core-I/O rail architectures in portable and industrial equipment.
Technical Context
The MAX6718UKSHD3 implements two independent voltage comparators with internal hysteresis (0.5% of threshold), each referenced to precision bandgap-derived references. Its reset logic guarantees valid output state as long as either VCC1 or VCC2 remains ≥0.8V, enabling robust brownout detection during deep supply sag.
This device features a push-pull RST output referenced to VCC1, with VOL ≤0.3V at ISINK = 100µA and VOH ≥0.8×VCC1 at ISOURCE = 500µA. It lacks watchdog, manual-reset, RSTIN, PFI/PFO, or RST2 pins - consistent with its 5-pin SOT23 configuration and suffix "SHD3" indicating dual-supply, push-pull RST, and 210ms timeout.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-voltage supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6718UKSHD3+T | Identical electrical specs and pinout; differs only in RoHS-compliant packaging (lead-free plating) and tape-and-reel delivery | No functional difference; suitable for same PCB layout and thermal profile | Select when lead-free compliance or automated assembly is required |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single-supply (3.3V only) supervisor with 200ms timeout; no VCC2 input or secondary threshold | Lacks dual-rail monitoring capability - cannot replace MAX6718UKSHD3 where 1.275V core rail supervision is mandatory | Only viable if system redesign removes need for independent core-rail monitoring |
Compared with MAX6718UKSHD3, the MAX6718UKSHD3+T offers identical functionality with RoHS compliance, while the TPS3808G33DBVR provides lower-cost single-rail supervision but omits the essential VCC2 monitoring path required for modern low-voltage SoC power architectures.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for VCC1 on the MAX6718UKSHD3?
The MAX6718UKSHD3 has a factory-trimmed VCC1 reset threshold of 3.075V, with ±1.5% tolerance over temperature. This value is fixed by the "SH" suffix per Maxim's Reset Voltage Threshold Suffix Guide and is verified across -40°C to +125°C operation. The threshold is referenced to an internal bandgap and includes 0.5% hysteresis to prevent chatter near trip point.
Does the MAX6718UKSHD3 support manual reset functionality?
Yes, the MAX6718UKSHD3 includes an active-low manual-reset input (MR) on Pin 3, with an internal 50kΩ pullup resistor to VCC1. Pulling MR low forces an immediate reset assertion, which remains active for the full 210ms timeout period after MR returns high. No external components are required unless noise immunity is needed - then a 0.1µF capacitor from MR to GND is recommended.
What is the reset output type and drive capability of the MAX6718UKSHD3?
The MAX6718UKSHD3 features an active-low push-pull RST output on Pin 1, referenced to VCC1. It guarantees VOL ≤0.3V at ISINK = 100µA and VOH ≥0.8×VCC1 at ISOURCE = 500µA. This eliminates the need for an external pullup resistor and allows direct connection to µP reset pins, including those with bidirectional I/O, when used with a 4.7kΩ series resistor.
Can the MAX6718UKSHD3 monitor a third supply voltage?
No, the MAX6718UKSHD3 is a dual-supply supervisor only and does not include RSTIN, PFI, or WDI pins. Its 5-pin SOT23 package and "SH" suffix confirm it supports only VCC1 and VCC2 monitoring. For triple-voltage supervision, consider MAX6719A/MAX6720A variants (6-pin SOT23) with RSTIN input and 0.626V internal reference.
What is the minimum supply voltage at which the MAX6718UKSHD3 guarantees correct reset behavior?
The MAX6718UKSHD3 guarantees valid reset output logic state as long as either VCC1 or VCC2 remains ≥0.8V. Below this level, the internal comparators and output stage may become indeterminate. This specification is production-tested and enables reliable brownout detection in systems experiencing deep undervoltage events, such as automotive cold-crank conditions.
