Product details
Overview
MAX6720AUTSHD3+ from Maxim Integrated is a triple-voltage microprocessor supervisory circuit in SOT23-6 package, monitoring VCC1 (4.625V threshold), VCC2 (3.075V threshold), and an externally adjustable RSTIN input (626.5mV reference). It asserts active-low push-pull reset for ≥210ms after any monitored supply drops below threshold or manual reset is triggered. Used in multivoltage telecom and industrial systems requiring reliable power-up sequencing and brownout protection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6720AUTSHD3+ datasheet, MAX6720AUTSHD3+ pinout, MAX6720AUTSHD3+ application, or MAX6720AUTSHD3+ equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-supply monitoring with factory-trimmed thresholds, 210ms reset timeout, push-pull RST output referenced to VCC1, and guaranteed reset validity down to VCC1/VCC2 = 0.8V.
Technical Context
The MAX6720AUTSHD3+ integrates three independent voltage monitors: primary (VCC1), secondary (VCC2), and auxiliary (RSTIN) with internal 626.5mV reference. Its reset logic combines OR-gated fault detection across all inputs and a programmable 210ms minimum timeout timer.
It features push-pull RST output referenced to VCC1, internal 50kΩ MR pullup, and immunity to sub-20µs VCC transients. The device operates over -40°C to +85°C and draws only 14µA typical supply current at 3.6V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC1 Threshold | 4.625V (factory-trimmed, ±125mV tolerance); ensures reliable reset assertion during 5V rail brownout |
| VCC2 Threshold | 3.075V (factory-trimmed, ±75mV tolerance); monitors 3.3V I/O or core supply integrity |
| RSTIN Reference | 626.5mV (internal bandgap); enables precise third-voltage monitoring via external resistor divider |
| Reset Timeout | 210ms (minimum); provides sufficient hold time for processor initialization and peripheral stabilization |
| Supply Current | 14µA (typical at 3.6V); minimizes quiescent power in battery-operated or always-on systems |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C; supports industrial and telecom equipment deployment without derating |
| Reset Output Type | Push-pull active-low RST referenced to VCC1; eliminates need for external pullup and ensures defined logic level during reset |
Pinout & Package
MAX6720AUTSHD3+ uses a 6-pin SOT23-6 package with 1.6mm × 2.9mm footprint and 0.95mm height, optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts in portable and embedded systems.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RST | Active-low push-pull reset output referenced to VCC1; asserts low on VCC1/VCC2/RSTIN undervoltage or MR activation |
| 2 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference for all internal comparators and timing circuits |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input with internal 50kΩ pullup to VCC1; forces reset when pulled low |
| 4 | VCC2 | Secondary supply input (0.9V–3.3V range); powers internal circuitry when > VCC1 and sets VCC2 monitor threshold |
| 5 | VCC1 | Primary supply input (1.8V–5.0V range); powers device when > VCC2 and sets VCC1 monitor threshold |
| 6 | RSTIN | Adjustable undervoltage comparator input; triggers reset when voltage falls below 626.5mV reference |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple-voltage monitoring | Simultaneous supervision of VCC1, VCC2, and RSTIN enables full-system power integrity verification in multirail designs |
| Factory-trimmed thresholds | VCC1 = 4.625V and VCC2 = 3.075V eliminate external resistor networks and improve production yield |
| 210ms reset timeout | Guaranteed minimum delay ensures µP and peripherals complete power-up before release |
| Push-pull RST output | Eliminates external pullup resistor requirement and guarantees valid logic levels across full VCC1 operating range |
| 0.8V reset validity | Ensures correct reset state even during deep brownout conditions where VCC1 or VCC2 drops to 0.8V |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6720AUTSD3+ | Same package and pinout, but open-drain RST output instead of push-pull; requires external pullup resistor. | Suitable for bidirectional µP reset pins or wired-OR reset bus configurations. | Select when interfacing with processors requiring open-drain reset or sharing reset line with other supervisors. |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Dual-supply monitor only (no RSTIN); fixed 3.3V VDD threshold; 200ms timeout; SOT23-6 package. | Lacks third-voltage monitoring capability; no manual reset input; lower supply current (1.8µA). | Choose for cost-sensitive 3.3V-only systems where auxiliary voltage monitoring is unnecessary. |
Compared with MAX6720AUTSHD3+, the MAX6720AUTSD3+ offers identical monitoring functionality but requires external pullup due to open-drain RST, while TPS3808G33DBVR reduces feature set to cut cost and quiescent current-making it suitable only for simpler dual-rail applications without RSTIN or MR needs.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for VCC1 on the MAX6720AUTSHD3+?
The MAX6720AUTSHD3+ has a factory-trimmed VCC1 reset threshold of 4.625V, with ±125mV tolerance over temperature and supply variations. This value is confirmed in the Reset Voltage Threshold Suffix Guide where "SH" corresponds to 4.625V. The threshold remains stable across the full -40°C to +85°C operating range with 20ppm/°C tempco.
Does the MAX6720AUTSHD3+ support monitoring a third voltage, and how is it configured?
Yes, the MAX6720AUTSHD3+ supports third-voltage monitoring via its RSTIN pin, which compares the applied voltage against an internal 626.5mV reference. To monitor a higher voltage (e.g., 12V), connect a resistor divider between the supply and GND, with the midpoint fed to RSTIN. The divider ratio must satisfy VEXT_TH = 626.5mV × (R1 + R2)/R2.
What is the function of the MR pin on the MAX6720AUTSHD3+, and does it require external components?
The MR pin on the MAX6720AUTSHD3+ is an active-low manual reset input with an internal 50kΩ pullup resistor to VCC1. No external components are required - simply pull MR low via a momentary switch or logic signal to force a reset. Reset remains asserted for the full 210ms timeout period after MR returns high, ensuring reliable processor restart.
Is the reset output of the MAX6720AUTSHD3+ push-pull or open-drain, and what are its drive capabilities?
The MAX6720AUTSHD3+ features a push-pull active-low RST output referenced to VCC1. It sources up to 800µA and sinks up to 3.2mA while maintaining VOL ≤ 0.4V at VCC1 ≥ 4.5V. This eliminates the need for an external pullup resistor and guarantees defined logic levels across the entire VCC1 operating range (0.8V–5.5V).
How does the MAX6720AUTSHD3+ ensure reliable reset operation during low-VCC conditions?
The MAX6720AUTSHD3+ guarantees valid reset output logic state down to VCC1 or VCC2 = 0.8V - well below typical microprocessor minimum supply requirements. This ensures the reset signal remains asserted during deep brownout events, preventing premature release and potential firmware corruption in systems with slow-falling supply rails.
