Product details
Overview
MAX6720AUTSHD3+T 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 (626mV reference). It asserts active-low push-pull reset for ≥210ms after any supply drop, manual reset, or watchdog timeout, and guarantees valid reset output down to VCC1 or VCC2 = 0.8V. It supports battery-powered embedded systems requiring reliable power sequencing and brownout protection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6720AUTSHD3+T datasheet, MAX6720AUTSHD3+T pinout, MAX6720AUTSHD3+T application, or MAX6720AUTSHD3+T equivalent, key selection criteria include confirmed dual-supply monitoring with factory-trimmed thresholds, push-pull RST output referenced to VCC1, 210ms min reset timeout, watchdog timer with 35s startup/1.12s normal mode, and guaranteed operation at VCC ≥ 0.8V.
Technical Context
The MAX6720AUTSHD3+T implements a dual-threshold voltage monitor (VCC1/VCC2) plus a high-impedance RSTIN comparator with 626mV internal reference, enabling precise third-voltage supervision via external resistor divider. Its reset logic combines asynchronous assertion on any monitored fault with a monotonic timeout counter that restarts if thresholds are re-breached before timeout completion.
This device integrates a dual-mode watchdog timer: a 35s minimum initial timeout after any reset event (supporting boot sequences), followed by a 1.12s minimum normal timeout triggered by the first WDI edge; it also includes a manual reset input with 50kΩ internal pullup to VCC1 and glitch rejection of 100ns.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC1 Threshold | 4.625V (factory-trimmed falling threshold; ensures reset assertion when primary supply drops below nominal 5V rail) |
| VCC2 Threshold | 3.075V (factory-trimmed falling threshold; monitors secondary 3.3V rail with ±75mV hysteresis) |
| RSTIN Reference | 626mV (internal precision reference; enables monitoring of auxiliary supplies down to 0.62V via resistor divider) |
| Reset Timeout | 210ms (minimum guaranteed duration; holds µP in reset long enough for stable power recovery and initialization) |
| Supply Current | 14µA typical at 3.6V (ultra-low quiescent current; extends battery life in portable equipment) |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C (industrial-grade temperature range; suitable for telecom, industrial, and automotive-adjacent applications) |
| Reset Output Type | Push-pull active-low (driven to VCC1; eliminates need for external pullup and ensures defined logic level during reset assertion) |
Pinout & Package
MAX6720AUTSHD3+T is housed in a 6-pin SOT23-6 package (2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm), optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts in portable and multivoltage systems.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RST | Active-low push-pull reset output referenced to VCC1; asserts low on VCC1/VCC2/RSTIN fault or MR activation |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference for all internal comparators, timers, and output drivers |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input with 50kΩ internal pullup to VCC1; resets system when pulled low |
| 4 | VCC2 | Secondary supply input (0.9V–3.3V); powers internal circuitry when above VCC1 and sets VCC2 threshold reference |
| 5 | VCC1 | Primary supply input (1.8V–5.0V); powers device when above VCC2 and sets VCC1 threshold reference |
| 6 | RSTIN | Adjustable undervoltage monitor input; compares external voltage to 626mV reference to trigger reset |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual factory-trimmed voltage monitoring | VCC1 = 4.625V and VCC2 = 3.075V thresholds eliminate external resistor networks and calibration effort |
| Externally adjustable third-voltage monitor | RSTIN input with 626mV reference enables precise supervision of auxiliary rails (e.g., 1.2V core, 1.8V I/O) using two resistors |
| Dual-mode watchdog timer | 35s startup timeout accommodates full system boot; 1.12s normal timeout detects runtime processor hangs without false triggers |
| Guaranteed reset validity down to 0.8V | Ensures clean, deterministic reset assertion even during deep brownout conditions on either supply rail |
| Immunity to short VCC transients | Rejects glitches <20µs at 100mV overdrive, preventing spurious resets in noisy power environments |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Power Sequencing | Portable Medical Device Battery Monitoring |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6720AUTSHD5+T | 280ms minimum reset timeout vs. 210ms; same thresholds, package, and features | Suitable where longer reset hold is required for slower power supplies or complex FPGA configuration | Select when extended reset duration improves system stability without changing layout or firmware |
| MAX6720AUTSHD3-T | Leaded (Pb) packaging vs. lead-free (+T); identical electrical specs and pinout | Required for legacy manufacturing lines not certified for Pb-free assembly or RoHS-exempt applications | Choose only if Pb-free compliance is not mandated and existing solder process relies on SnPb eutectic profile |
Compared with MAX6720AUTSHD3+T, the MAX6720AUTSHD5+T offers longer reset assertion for marginal power supplies, while the MAX6720AUTSHD3-T provides identical functionality in leaded packaging-neither is pin-compatible with non-MAX6720 variants due to unique threshold and timeout coding in the suffix.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for VCC1 on the MAX6720AUTSHD3+T?
The MAX6720AUTSHD3+T has a factory-trimmed VCC1 reset threshold of 4.625V (falling), specified with ±125mV tolerance per the Reset Voltage Threshold Suffix Guide. This value is laser-trimmed during production and does not require external components. The MAX6720AUTSHD3+T maintains this threshold across its full operating temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) with a tempco of 20ppm/°C.
Does the MAX6720AUTSHD3+T support monitoring a negative supply voltage?
Yes-the MAX6720AUTSHD3+T can monitor negative supplies using the RSTIN pin with an appropriate resistor-divider network configured per Figure 3a/b in the datasheet. Since RSTIN compares the applied voltage to a fixed 626mV internal reference, connecting a negative rail through a divider allows trip-point setting. The MAX6720AUTSHD3+T itself must be powered by positive VCC1/VCC2 supplies; RSTIN input current remains within ±25nA across the full common-mode range.
What is the function of the "D3" suffix in MAX6720AUTSHD3+T?
The "D3" suffix in MAX6720AUTSHD3+T specifies a minimum reset timeout period of 210ms, per the Reset Timeout Period Suffix Guide. This is a factory-programmed timing parameter implemented via on-chip RC elements and is independent of external components. The D3 timeout applies to all reset sources: VCC1/VCC2 undervoltage, RSTIN fault, manual reset (MR), and watchdog timeout events.
Can the MAX6720AUTSHD3+T operate with VCC1 = 1.8V and VCC2 = 1.2V simultaneously?
Yes-the MAX6720AUTSHD3+T is fully specified to operate with VCC1 as low as 1.8V and VCC2 as low as 0.9V, including simultaneous operation at 1.8V/1.2V. Its internal comparators and reset logic remain functional, and the push-pull RST output is guaranteed to drive low with VOL ≤ 0.3V at ISINK = 100µA. Supply current is 14µA typical at these voltages, supporting ultra-low-power designs.
Is the manual reset input (MR) on the MAX6720AUTSHD3+T compatible with 1.8V logic levels?
Yes-the MR input on the MAX6720AUTSHD3+T accepts standard CMOS/TTL logic levels: VIH ≥ 0.7 × VCC1 and VIL ≤ 0.3 × VCC1. With VCC1 = 1.8V, this translates to VIH ≥ 1.26V and VIL ≤ 0.54V, making it compatible with 1.8V GPIOs. The internal 50kΩ pullup ensures MR defaults high when unconnected, and the 1µs minimum pulse width requirement is easily met by modern microcontrollers.
