Product details
Overview
MAX6720UTLTD3+ from Maxim Integrated is a dual-voltage microprocessor supervisory circuit in 6-pin SOT23 package, monitoring VCC1 (4.625V threshold) and VCC2 (3.075V threshold) with 210ms reset timeout, watchdog timer, manual reset input, and guaranteed reset validity down to 0.8V supply - used in telecom power sequencing and embedded system brownout protection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6720UTLTD3+ datasheet, MAX6720UTLTD3+ pinout, MAX6720UTLTD3+ application, or MAX6720UTLTD3+ equivalent, key selection factors include dual-supply threshold accuracy (±1.5% over temperature), ultra-low 14µA supply current at 3.6V, push-pull RST output referenced to VCC1, and immunity to sub-20µs VCC transients.
Technical Context
The MAX6720UTLTD3+ integrates two independent voltage comparators with factory-trimmed thresholds (VTH1 = 4.625V, VTH2 = 3.075V), a 210ms minimum reset timeout timer, and a dual-mode watchdog (35s startup / 1.12s normal). It asserts active-low push-pull RST when either VCC1 or VCC2 falls below its threshold or MR is pulled low.
Its RSTIN input is unused in this variant (no third-voltage monitoring), and it lacks PFI/PFO functionality. The device operates across -40°C to +85°C, guarantees valid reset logic down to VCC1 or VCC2 = 0.8V, and features 20ppm/°C reset threshold tempco and 0.5% hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC1 Threshold | 4.625V (factory-trimmed, ±1.5% over -40°C to +85°C) - sets primary supply brownout detection point for 5V or 4.8V rails |
| VCC2 Threshold | 3.075V (factory-trimmed, ±1.5% over -40°C to +85°C) - enables reliable monitoring of 3.3V I/O or auxiliary supplies |
| Reset Timeout | 210ms (minimum) - ensures sufficient hold time for processor initialization after power recovery |
| Supply Current | 14µA typical at 3.6V - minimizes quiescent load on battery-backed or low-power systems |
| Reset Output Type | Push-pull active-low RST referenced to VCC1 - eliminates need for external pullup and drives directly into µP reset pin |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and telecom equipment environments |
| VCC Validity Limit | Guaranteed reset logic state down to VCC1 or VCC2 = 0.8V - supports deep brownout detection without external supervision |
Pinout & Package
MAX6720UTLTD3+ uses a 6-pin SOT23-6 package (2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm body, 0.95mm pitch), surface-mount, RoHS-compliant lead-free (+T suffix) construction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RST | Active-low push-pull reset output referenced to VCC1; asserts low during fault and holds for 210ms post-recovery |
| 2 | GND | System ground reference for all internal comparators, timers, and output drivers |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input with 50kΩ internal pullup to VCC1; pulse ≥1µs forces full reset sequence |
| 4 | VCC2 | Secondary supply input (monitored at 3.075V); powers internal circuitry when > VCC1 and enables VCC2 fault detection |
| 5 | VCC1 | Primary supply input (monitored at 4.625V); main power source and reference for RST output voltage level |
| 6 | NC | No connect - internally unconnected; must be left floating or tied to GND per layout best practice |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent voltage monitoring | Simultaneous VCC1 (4.625V) and VCC2 (3.075V) supervision with separate comparators and shared reset timeout |
| Push-pull RST output | Drives µP reset pin directly without external pullup; VOH ≥ 0.8×VCC1 at 800µA, VOL ≤ 0.4V at 3.2mA |
| Manual reset with glitch rejection | MR input rejects <100ns noise pulses and requires ≥1µs low pulse to trigger reset - robust against PCB noise |
| Ultra-low supply current | 14µA typical at 3.6V enables use in always-on subsystems and battery-critical applications |
| Brownout immunity guarantee | Valid reset assertion and deassertion guaranteed down to VCC1 or VCC2 = 0.8V - no external undervoltage lockout needed |
Applications
| Telecom Power Sequencing | Industrial PLC I/O Module |

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for VCC1 and VCC2 on the MAX6720UTLTD3+?
The MAX6720UTLTD3+ has factory-trimmed reset thresholds of 4.625V for VCC1 and 3.075V for VCC2, with ±1.5% tolerance over the full -40°C to +85°C temperature range. These values are fixed by the "LT" suffix per Maxim's Reset Voltage Threshold Suffix Guide and do not require external resistor programming. The MAX6720UTLTD3+ does not support adjustable RSTIN monitoring.
Does the MAX6720UTLTD3+ include a watchdog timer function?
Yes, the MAX6720UTLTD3+ includes a dual-mode watchdog timer with a 35s minimum startup period and 1.12s minimum normal timeout period. The WDI input is present and functional per the MAX6720's position in the Selector Guide. Watchdog operation begins after reset release and responds to rising/falling edges on WDI.
What is the reset output type and drive capability of the MAX6720UTLTD3+?
The MAX6720UTLTD3+ features a push-pull active-low RST output referenced to VCC1. It sources ≥0.8×VCC1 at 800µA and sinks ≤0.4V at 3.2mA, enabling direct connection to most µP reset pins without external pullup resistors. This differs from open-drain variants like MAX6719 which require external pullups.
Can the MAX6720UTLTD3+ monitor a third voltage using the RSTIN pin?
No, the MAX6720UTLTD3+ does not use the RSTIN pin for third-voltage monitoring. Per the Selector Guide and Pin Description, RSTIN functionality is only enabled in MAX6719/MAX6720 variants with specific suffixes indicating RSTIN enablement - the MAX6720UTLTD3+ is configured as dual-supply only, and RSTIN is internally disconnected.
What is the minimum supply voltage at which the MAX6720UTLTD3+ guarantees correct reset logic state?
The MAX6720UTLTD3+ guarantees valid reset output logic (high/low state integrity) down to VCC1 or VCC2 = 0.8V, as explicitly specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Detailed Description sections. This ensures reliable brownout detection even during deep supply sags where other supervisors may fail silently.
