Product details
Overview
MAX6720AUTSDD3+T from Maxim Integrated is a dual-supply ultra-low-voltage microprocessor supervisory IC that monitors VCC1 (primary) and VCC2 (secondary) supply rails while supporting externally adjustable third-voltage monitoring via RSTIN. It asserts an active-low push-pull reset output when either supply drops below factory-trimmed thresholds (VTH1 = 3.075 V typ, VTH2 = 0.788 V typ), maintains reset for 140 ms minimum timeout, and operates down to VCC = 0.8 V - enabling reliable power sequencing in battery-powered telecom and industrial edge controllers.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6720AUTSDD3+T datasheet, MAX6720AUTSDD3+T pinout, MAX6720AUTSDD3+T application, or MAX6720AUTSDD3+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-threshold supervision with 0.626 V internal reference for RSTIN, 14 µA typical supply current at 3.6 V, -40°C to +125°C operation, SOT23-6 package, and guaranteed reset validity during brownout conditions.
Technical Context
The MAX6720AUTSDD3+T integrates two independent voltage comparators (VCC1 and VCC2), an adjustable RSTIN comparator referenced to a 626 mV internal bandgap, and a dual-mode watchdog timer with 35 s startup and 1.12 s normal timeout. Its reset logic combines ORed fault detection across all monitored inputs and enforces a fixed 140 ms minimum reset assertion period after recovery.
It features push-pull RST and RST2 outputs referenced to VCC1 and VCC2 respectively, internal 50 kΩ MR pullup, and immunity to sub-20 µs VCC transients - ensuring robust operation in noisy DC-DC converter environments without spurious resets.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar supervisory circuit applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6720AUTSD3+T | Same functionality but open-drain RST output instead of push-pull; requires external pullup resistor | Suitable where reset net is shared with other open-drain drivers or level-shifted interfaces | Select when system architecture mandates open-drain reset signaling or bidirectional μP reset pins |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single-supply supervisor (3.3 V only); no VCC2 or RSTIN inputs; 200 ms fixed timeout; 2.5 µA IQ | Limited to single-rail monitoring; lacks triple-voltage capability and wide temperature range | Choose only for cost-sensitive, single-rail applications where extended temp range and auxiliary monitoring are unnecessary |
Compared with MAX6720AUTSDD3+T, the MAX6720AUTSD3+T offers identical supervision logic but requires external pullup for reset signaling, while the TPS3808G33DBVR sacrifices dual/third-rail flexibility and automotive temperature support for lower quiescent current and lower unit cost in simple 3.3 V systems.

FAQ
What is the exact reset timeout period for MAX6720AUTSDD3+T?
The MAX6720AUTSDD3+T has a guaranteed minimum reset timeout period of 140 ms, corresponding to the 'D3' suffix in its part number. This value is factory-trimmed and specified over the full -40°C to +125°C temperature range. The actual timeout may extend up to 280 ms depending on process variation and operating conditions, but system design must rely on the 140 ms minimum to ensure proper processor initialization. This timing begins after all monitored supplies (VCC1, VCC2, RSTIN) rise above their respective thresholds.
Does MAX6720AUTSDD3+T support monitoring a 1.2 V supply as VCC2?
Yes, MAX6720AUTSDD3+T supports monitoring a 1.2 V supply on VCC2. Its VCC2 reset threshold is factory-trimmed to 0.788 V (±1.5%), well within the 0.765–0.810 V range specified for the 'D' suffix, making it suitable for detecting undervoltage on 1.2 V rails. The device guarantees correct reset logic state as long as VCC2 remains ≥0.8 V, and its input voltage range extends to 5.5 V - accommodating both low-voltage cores and higher intermediate rails.
Can MAX6720AUTSDD3+T monitor three independent supply voltages simultaneously?
Yes, MAX6720AUTSDD3+T can monitor three independent supply voltages: VCC1 (primary), VCC2 (secondary), and a third voltage applied to the RSTIN pin. RSTIN uses an internal 626 mV reference, so a resistor divider (e.g., R1 = 100 kΩ, R2 = 51.1 kΩ) sets the trip point - for example, 1.2 V monitoring requires VEXT_TH = 626 mV × ((R1 + R2)/R2). This third channel operates independently and contributes to reset assertion alongside VCC1 and VCC2 faults.
What is the function of the MR pin on MAX6720AUTSDD3+T?
The MR (Manual Reset) pin on MAX6720AUTSDD3+T is an active-low input with an internal 50 kΩ pullup to VCC1. Pulling MR low forces an immediate reset assertion, which remains active for the full 140 ms timeout period after MR returns high. It supports CMOS-level drive and rejects <100 ns glitches. When unused, MR may be left floating or tied to VCC1; no external components are required for basic operation, simplifying board layout in space-constrained designs.
Is MAX6720AUTSDD3+T qualified for automotive applications?
MAX6720AUTSDD3+T is not AEC-Q100 qualified - only the MAX6719AUTTWD1/V+T variant in this family carries AEC-Q100 Grade 2 (-40°C to +105°C) certification. However, MAX6720AUTSDD3+T operates across -40°C to +125°C and is widely deployed in automotive-adjacent applications such as ADAS camera modules and infotainment power supplies where extended temperature range is required but formal qualification is not mandated by the end-customer.
