Product details
Overview
MAX6720AUTZGD3+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 (626.5mV reference) for auxiliary supply monitoring down to 0.62V. It asserts active-low push-pull reset output with 210ms minimum timeout, supports manual reset and watchdog timer, and operates from -40°C to +85°C - used in multivoltage telecom power systems requiring reliable brownout detection and orderly shutdown.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6720AUTZGD3+T datasheet, MAX6720AUTZGD3+T pinout, MAX6720AUTZGD3+T application, or MAX6720AUTZGD3+T equivalent, key selection criteria include confirmed dual-supply monitoring thresholds (VTH1 = 4.625V, VTH2 = 3.075V), RSTIN-adjustable third-voltage capability, push-pull reset output logic, 210ms reset timeout, and guaranteed reset validity down to VCC1/VCC2 = 0.8V.
Technical Context
The MAX6720AUTZGD3+T implements a dual-threshold voltage monitor for primary (VCC1) and secondary (VCC2) supplies plus a high-impedance RSTIN comparator referenced to a 626.5mV internal bandgap. Its reset assertion logic combines independent voltage-fall detection across all three inputs with a fixed 210ms minimum timeout period after recovery.
It features a push-pull active-low RST output referenced to VCC1, integrated 50kΩ MR pullup, and no watchdog or power-fail functionality - distinguishing it from MAX6721–MAX6729 variants. The device guarantees valid reset state down to VCC1 or VCC2 = 0.8V and draws only 14µA typical supply current at 3.6V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC1 Threshold | 4.625V (factory-trimmed, falling edge; ensures reset during 5V rail brownout) |
| VCC2 Threshold | 3.075V (factory-trimmed, falling edge; monitors 3.3V I/O supply stability) |
| RSTIN Reference | 626.5mV (internal precision reference enables external resistor-divider for third-voltage monitoring) |
| Reset Timeout | 210ms min (guaranteed minimum duration prevents premature processor release after recovery) |
| Supply Current | 14µA typ at 3.6V (ultra-low quiescent current extends battery life in portable equipment) |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C (industrial-grade thermal range for telecom and embedded applications) |
| Reset Output | Active-low push-pull (no external pullup required; drives directly into µP reset pin) |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-6 package (2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm), lead-free, RoHS-compliant, surface-mount.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RST | Active-low push-pull reset output referenced to VCC1; asserted when any monitored supply falls below threshold |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference for all internal comparators and output drivers |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input with 50kΩ internal 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 VTH2 threshold |
| 5 | VCC1 | Primary supply input (1.8V–5.0V range); powers device when > VCC2 and sets VTH1 threshold |
| 6 | RSTIN | High-impedance adjustable reset input; triggers reset when voltage falls below 626.5mV reference |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual factory-trimmed voltage thresholds | VTH1 = 4.625V (VCC1), VTH2 = 3.075V (VCC2) - eliminates external resistor networks for standard rails |
| Externally adjustable third-voltage monitor | RSTIN input with 626.5mV reference enables precise monitoring of auxiliary supplies (e.g., 1.2V core, 1.8V memory) via resistor divider |
| Push-pull active-low reset output | No external pullup required; drives µP reset pin directly with robust VOL ≤ 0.4V at 3.2mA sink |
| Guaranteed reset validity down to 0.8V | Ensures correct reset assertion even during deep brownout conditions on either VCC1 or VCC2 |
| Ultra-low supply current | 14µA typical at 3.6V - critical for battery-backed systems and always-on monitoring circuits |
Applications
| Telecom Power Sequencing | Industrial PLC I/O Modules |
|---|---|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Validates 5V standby, 3.3V main, and 1.2V core supplies before releasing SoC reset and enabling boot ROM. Use Value: 210ms timeout ensures all regulators settle before processor execution begins, eliminating boot failures. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar supervisory circuit applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6720AUTZTD3+T | VTH1 = 4.625V, VTH2 = 3.075V, same package and timeout, but open-drain RST output | Requires external pullup resistor; suitable where level-shifting or wired-OR reset bus is needed | Select when interfacing with bidirectional µP reset pins or multi-source reset arbitration |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Dual-supply monitor only (no RSTIN), 3.3V fixed VDD threshold, 200ms timeout, SOT23-6 | Lacks third-voltage monitoring capability; optimized for single-rail 3.3V systems | Choose for cost-sensitive 3.3V-only applications where RSTIN functionality is unnecessary |
Compared with MAX6720AUTZGD3+T, the MAX6720AUTZTD3+T requires external pullup but enables reset bus sharing, while TPS3808G33DBVR reduces BOM count in 3.3V-only designs but sacrifices triple-monitoring flexibility and precision RSTIN adjustability.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for VCC1 on the MAX6720AUTZGD3+T?
The MAX6720AUTZGD3+T has a factory-trimmed VCC1 reset threshold of 4.625V (falling edge), as indicated by the 'Z' suffix in the part number per Maxim's Reset Voltage Threshold Suffix Guide. This value is guaranteed over temperature (-40°C to +85°C) with ±1.5% tolerance and 20ppm/°C tempco.
Does the MAX6720AUTZGD3+T include a watchdog timer function?
No, the MAX6720AUTZGD3+T does not include a watchdog timer. Per Maxim's Selector Guide, only MAX6721–MAX6729 variants feature WDI input; the MAX6720AUTZGD3+T is a triple-supply supervisor with RSTIN but no watchdog or power-fail functionality.
What is the function of Pin 6 (RSTIN) on the MAX6720AUTZGD3+T?
Pin 6 (RSTIN) on the MAX6720AUTZGD3+T is a high-impedance input referenced to a 626.5mV internal bandgap voltage. When the voltage at RSTIN falls below this threshold, the device asserts its active-low RST output - enabling precise monitoring of a third supply (e.g., 1.2V core) using an external resistor divider.
Is the reset output of the MAX6720AUTZGD3+T push-pull or open-drain?
The MAX6720AUTZGD3+T features a push-pull active-low reset output (Pin 1, RST), referenced to VCC1. This eliminates the need for an external pullup resistor and allows direct connection to most microprocessor reset inputs, delivering VOL ≤ 0.4V at 3.2mA sink current.
What is the minimum reset timeout period specified for the MAX6720AUTZGD3+T?
The MAX6720AUTZGD3+T has a minimum reset timeout period of 210ms, as indicated by the 'D3' suffix in the part number per Maxim's Reset Timeout Period Suffix Guide. This guaranteed minimum ensures sufficient hold time for processors to complete power stabilization before release.
