Product details
Overview
MAX6720UTRVD3 from Maxim Integrated is a triple-voltage microprocessor supervisory circuit in 6-pin SOT23 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 supply drop, supports manual reset and watchdog timer, and operates from -40°C to +85°C - used in telecom power sequencing and battery-backed embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6720UTRVD3 datasheet, MAX6720UTRVD3 pinout, MAX6720UTRVD3 application, or MAX6720UTRVD3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-supply monitoring with factory-trimmed thresholds, 210ms reset timeout, push-pull RST output referenced to VCC1, and guaranteed reset validity down to VCC1 or VCC2 = 0.8V.
Technical Context
The MAX6720UTRVD3 integrates three independent voltage monitors: primary (VCC1) with 4.625V ±125mV threshold, secondary (VCC2) with 3.075V ±75mV threshold, and auxiliary RSTIN with 626.5mV internal reference. Reset assertion is synchronized across all monitored inputs and maintained for a minimum 210ms timeout period after recovery.
It features a push-pull RST output referenced to VCC1, manual reset (MR) with 50kΩ internal pullup, and no watchdog or power-fail functionality - confirmed by Selector Guide and Ordering Information. All logic thresholds scale with VCC1 (VIH = 0.7×VCC1, VIL = 0.3×VCC1), and supply current is 14µA typical at 3.6V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC1 Threshold | 4.625V (±125mV) - sets brownout detection point for primary supply, e.g., 5V rail |
| VCC2 Threshold | 3.075V (±75mV) - monitors secondary supply such as 3.3V I/O rail |
| RSTIN Reference | 626.5mV - enables external resistor-divider to monitor third supply down to 0.62V |
| Reset Timeout | 210ms (min) - ensures µP reset pulse meets boot initialization timing requirements |
| Supply Current | 14µA (typ) at 3.6V - enables long battery life in portable equipment |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and telecom environments |
| Reset Output | Active-low push-pull, VCC1-referenced - drives directly without external pullup |
Pinout & Package
MAX6720UTRVD3 is housed in a 6-pin SOT23-6 package (2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm), surface-mount, lead-free compatible.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RST | Active-low push-pull reset output referenced to VCC1; asserts when VCC1/VCC2/RSTIN drop below thresholds or MR is pulled low |
| 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 on logic-low pulse ≥1µs |
| 4 | VCC2 | Secondary supply input powering VCC2 monitor and RST2 logic (not present in MAX6720); also supplies internal reference for VCC2 comparator |
| 5 | VCC1 | Primary supply input powering device core, VCC1 monitor, and RST output driver; defines VIH/VIL levels |
| 6 | RSTIN | High-impedance adjustable reset input; compared against 626.5mV reference to monitor third supply via external resistor divider |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual factory-trimmed voltage thresholds | VCC1 = 4.625V and VCC2 = 3.075V - eliminates external resistor networks for standard rails |
| Externally adjustable third-voltage monitor | RSTIN with 626.5mV reference - supports monitoring of sub-1V cores or battery voltages with <25nA input leakage |
| Push-pull RST output | No external pullup required - simplifies PCB layout and reduces BOM count vs. open-drain alternatives |
| Guaranteed reset validity down to 0.8V | Operates correctly even during deep brownout - ensures reliable reset assertion before µP loses functional state |
| Low 14µA supply current | Enables use in always-on battery backup circuits without significant drain |
Applications
| Telecom Power Sequencing | Battery-Backed Embedded Controller |

Use Value: Reduces board area by 40% vs. discrete supervisor + voltage detector combo while maintaining 210ms reset hold time. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6720UTRVD2-T | Same package and pinout; 140ms reset timeout (vs. 210ms) | Suitable where shorter reset pulse suffices, e.g., fast-boot MCUs with <150ms initialization | Select when tighter timing margin allows reduced timeout without compromising reliability |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single-supply (3.3V only), no RSTIN, 200ms timeout, SOT23-6 | Lacks dual/third-supply monitoring; requires external resistors for threshold adjustment | Use only for single-rail systems where cost is prioritized over multivoltage flexibility |
Compared with MAX6720UTRVD3, the MAX6720UTRVD2-T offers identical monitoring capability but shorter reset hold time, while TPS3808G33DBVR sacrifices triple-supply support for lower unit cost in single-rail designs - neither is pin-compatible nor functionally interchangeable without schematic revision.

FAQ
What is the exact reset timeout period for MAX6720UTRVD3?
The MAX6720UTRVD3 has a guaranteed minimum reset timeout period of 210ms after all monitored supplies recover above their thresholds. This value is fixed by the "D3" suffix in the part number and is characterized over -40°C to +85°C. The actual timeout may extend up to 280ms at temperature extremes, per Electrical Characteristics table. MAX6720UTRVD3 uses an internal oscillator-based timer unaffected by supply voltage variation.
Does MAX6720UTRVD3 support watchdog functionality?
No, MAX6720UTRVD3 does not include watchdog functionality. Per the Selector Guide and Functional Diagram, only MAX6721–MAX6729 variants incorporate WDI input; MAX6720UTRVD3 is explicitly listed without watchdog support. Its supervision is limited to voltage monitoring (VCC1, VCC2, RSTIN), manual reset (MR), and push-pull RST output. MAX6720UTRVD3 must be paired with external watchdog logic if system-level processor activity monitoring is required.
What are the valid voltage ranges for VCC1 and VCC2 on MAX6720UTRVD3?
MAX6720UTRVD3 accepts VCC1 from 0.8V to 5.5V and VCC2 from 0.8V to 5.5V, though its factory-trimmed thresholds assume VCC1 ≥ 1.8V and VCC2 ≥ 0.9V for specification compliance. Operation is guaranteed down to 0.8V on either supply, with reset output remaining valid. The device draws ICC1 ≤ 39µA and ICC2 ≤ 11µA maximum under full operating conditions. MAX6720UTRVD3 remains functional even if one supply drops to 0.8V while the other stays above 1.0V.
Can MAX6720UTRVD3 monitor a negative supply voltage?
MAX6720UTRVD3 cannot directly monitor negative supplies on VCC1 or VCC2, as both inputs require positive voltage relative to GND. However, its RSTIN pin can monitor a negative rail indirectly using a level-shifting resistor network referenced to GND - as shown in Figure 3b of the datasheet - where PFI (not present on MAX6720UTRVD3) would normally be used. Since MAX6720UTRVD3 lacks PFI/PFO, RSTIN remains the sole auxiliary input, and its 626.5mV reference is fixed versus GND. MAX6720UTRVD3 is therefore unsuitable for direct negative-voltage supervision without external op-amp conditioning.
Is MAX6720UTRVD3 pin-compatible with other MAX67xx devices in SOT23-6?
MAX6720UTRVD3 is pin-compatible with other 6-pin SOT23-6 variants in the MAX6715–MAX6729 family that share the same pin configuration: RST (pin 1), GND (pin 2), MR (pin 3), VCC2 (pin 4), VCC1 (pin 5), RSTIN (pin 6). This includes MAX6719, MAX6721–MAX6724. However, functional differences exist - e.g., MAX6721 adds WDI, MAX6719 has open-drain RST - so swapping requires verification of feature alignment. MAX6720UTRVD3's push-pull RST and absence of WDI/PFI make it electrically safe to substitute only for functionally identical variants.
