Product details
Overview
MAX6720UTTID3 from Maxim Integrated is a triple-voltage microprocessor supervisory circuit in SOT23-6 package, monitoring VCC1 (primary), VCC2 (secondary), and RSTIN (adjustable third supply) with factory-trimmed thresholds of 4.625V and 3.075V, 210ms minimum reset timeout, and push-pull active-low RST output. It ensures reliable system reset during power-up, brownout, or manual intervention in battery-powered and multivoltage embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6720UTTID3 datasheet, MAX6720UTTID3 pinout, MAX6720UTTID3 application, or MAX6720UTTID3 equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, exact pin functions, real-world use cases for telecom and portable equipment, and two validated alternative parts with documented functional and timing differences.
Technical Context
The MAX6720UTTID3 implements dual independent voltage comparators for VCC1 and VCC2 plus a high-impedance RSTIN input referenced to a 626.5mV internal bandgap, enabling precise monitoring of a third supply down to 0.62V via external resistor divider. Its reset logic asserts RST low when any monitored voltage falls below threshold and holds it for ≥210ms after all voltages recover.
This device integrates a manual reset input (MR) with 50kΩ internal pullup to VCC1 and supports push-pull RST output referenced to VCC1. It guarantees valid reset state down to VCC1 or VCC2 = 0.8V and exhibits immunity to sub-20µs VCC transients per typical operating characteristics.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC1 Threshold | 4.625V (factory-trimmed, ±125mV tolerance), sets primary supply brownout detection point |
| VCC2 Threshold | 3.075V (factory-trimmed, ±75mV tolerance), sets secondary supply fault detection level |
| RSTIN Reference | 626.5mV (internal bandgap), enables adjustable third-supply monitoring from 0.62V up |
| Reset Timeout | 210ms (minimum), ensures µP completes boot sequence before release |
| Supply Current | 14µA (typ at 3.6V), minimizes quiescent drain in always-on battery systems |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C, qualified for industrial and telecom equipment environments |
| Package | SOT23-6, 2.9mm × 1.6mm footprint compatible with high-density PCB layouts |
Pinout & Package
MAX6720UTTID3 uses a 6-pin SOT23-6 package with gull-wing leads, 0.95mm pitch, and thermal pad not connected internally. Pin 1 is marked by dot; pin order follows standard SOT23 orientation (viewed top-down, left-to-right: 1–3 on bottom row, 4–6 on top row).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RST | Active-low push-pull reset output referenced to VCC1; sinks 3.2mA at VCC1 ≥ 4.5V |
| 2 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference for all comparators and internal logic |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input with 50kΩ internal pullup to VCC1; 1µs minimum pulse width |
| 4 | VCC2 | Secondary supply input (0.9V–3.3V range); powers internal VCC2 comparator and RST2 if present |
| 5 | VCC1 | Primary supply input (1.8V–5.0V range); powers core logic and defines RST output reference |
| 6 | RSTIN | High-impedance adjustable monitor input; asserts reset when voltage drops below 626.5mV |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual factory-trimmed voltage monitors | VCC1 = 4.625V ±125mV and VCC2 = 3.075V ±75mV enable precise, no-calibration power-rail supervision |
| Adjustable third-supply monitor | RSTIN with 626.5mV internal reference supports monitoring of auxiliary rails (e.g., 1.2V, 1.8V) using external resistive divider |
| Push-pull RST output | Eliminates need for external pullup resistor; drives high to 0.8×VCC1 with 800µA source capability |
| Guaranteed reset validity | Operates correctly down to VCC1 or VCC2 = 0.8V, ensuring robustness during deep brownout conditions |
| Low glitch sensitivity | Immune to VCC transients <20µs (at 100mV overdrive), preventing spurious resets in noisy power environments |
Applications
| Telecom Power Sequencing | Portable Device Brownout Protection |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6722UTTID3 | Same pinout and thresholds, but open-drain RST output instead of push-pull; requires external pullup resistor. | Suitable where level-shifting or wired-OR reset bus is needed; incompatible with direct µP reset pins requiring active drive. | Select MAX6722UTTID3 only if system design already includes pullup or shares reset line with other open-drain sources. |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single-supply monitor (3.3V fixed threshold), no RSTIN input, 200ms timeout, SOT23-6 package. | Lacks dual/third-supply monitoring; cannot replace MAX6720UTTID3 in multirail systems without redesign. | Use TPS3808G33DBVR only for cost-sensitive single-rail applications where VCC2 and RSTIN functionality are unnecessary. |
Compared with MAX6720UTTID3, MAX6722UTTID3 offers identical supervision logic but requires external biasing for RST, while TPS3808G33DBVR reduces feature set to cut cost-neither provides full functional equivalence without layout or firmware changes.

FAQ
What are the exact reset threshold voltages for MAX6720UTTID3?
The MAX6720UTTID3 has factory-trimmed reset thresholds of 4.625V for VCC1 (±125mV) and 3.075V for VCC2 (±75mV), as defined by the "TT" suffix in its part number per Maxim's Reset Voltage Threshold Suffix Guide. These values are production-tested and guaranteed across -40°C to +85°C.
Does MAX6720UTTID3 support monitoring a third voltage, and how is it configured?
Yes, MAX6720UTTID3 supports third-supply monitoring via the RSTIN pin, which compares the applied voltage against an internal 626.5mV reference. To monitor a custom voltage (e.g., 1.2V), connect a resistor divider from that rail to RSTIN and GND such that the divided voltage equals 626.5mV at the trip point.
What is the function of the MR pin on MAX6720UTTID3, and does it require external components?
The MR pin on MAX6720UTTID3 is an active-low manual reset input with a built-in 50kΩ pullup to VCC1, so no external resistor is required. Pulling MR low for ≥1µs forces RST assertion for the full 210ms timeout period. Leaving MR unconnected defaults it to high, disabling manual reset.
How does the reset timeout period of MAX6720UTTID3 compare to similar supervisors?
MAX6720UTTID3 provides a 210ms minimum reset timeout period (D3 suffix), which exceeds the 1.1ms–1120ms range of most competitors in the same SOT23-6 form factor. This duration ensures reliable µP initialization in complex boot sequences, especially in FPGA- or DSP-based systems.
Is MAX6720UTTID3 compatible with both 3.3V and 5V logic families?
Yes, MAX6720UTTID3 operates with VCC1 from 1.8V to 5.0V and VCC2 from 0.9V to 3.3V, and its push-pull RST output swings from 0.3V (low) to 0.8×VCC1 (high). When VCC1 = 5V, RST drives 4.0V high-compatible with TTL and CMOS inputs; at VCC1 = 3.3V, it delivers 2.64V high-sufficient for 3.3V logic thresholds.
