Product details
Overview
MAX6720UTVHD3+ 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 and guarantees valid reset logic down to VCC1 or VCC2 = 0.8V. Used in multivoltage telecom power systems requiring reliable brownout detection and manual reset capability.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6720UTVHD3+ datasheet, MAX6720UTVHD3+ pinout, MAX6720UTVHD3+ application, or MAX6720UTVHD3+ equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-supply threshold accuracy (±1.5% over temperature), ultra-low 14µA typical supply current at 3.6V, immunity to sub-20µs VCC transients, and guaranteed reset assertion during power-up sequencing where VCC1/VCC2 cross 0.8V.
Technical Context
The MAX6720UTVHD3+ implements a dual-threshold voltage monitor with factory-trimmed VTH1 = 4.625V (±1.5%) and VTH2 = 3.075V (±1.5%), plus an independent high-impedance RSTIN comparator referenced to a 626.5mV internal bandgap. Its reset timeout is fixed at 210ms (min), generated by an on-chip RC oscillator with ±20% tolerance over -40°C to +85°C.
This device uses BiCMOS process (1072 transistors) to achieve 14µA typical ICC1 at 3.6V while maintaining push-pull RST output capable of sinking 3.2mA at VCC1 ≥ 4.5V (VOL ≤ 0.4V) and sourcing 800µA (VOH ≥ 0.8×VCC1). The MR input includes a 50kΩ internal pullup to VCC1 and supports 1µs minimum pulse width with 100ns glitch rejection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC1 Reset Threshold | 4.625V (±1.5%) - sets precise brownout detection point for primary 5V/4.8V rails without external resistors |
| VCC2 Reset Threshold | 3.075V (±1.5%) - enables accurate monitoring of secondary 3.3V/3.0V supplies in mixed-voltage systems |
| RSTIN Reference Voltage | 626.5mV (±2.5%) - allows external resistor-divider to monitor third supply as low as 0.62V with <25nA input bias |

| 2 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference for all internal comparators and timing circuits |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input with 50kΩ internal pullup to VCC1; accepts TTL/CMOS logic levels |
| 4 | VCC2 | Secondary supply input (0.9V–3.3V range); powers internal VTH2 comparator and RST2 logic if present |
| 5 | VCC1 | Primary supply input (1.8V–5.0V range); powers core logic, VTH1 comparator, and RST output driver |
| 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 ±1.5%, VTH2 = 3.075V ±1.5% - eliminates calibration overhead in production test |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6720UTVHD5+ | Same package and thresholds, but 420ms (min) reset timeout vs. 210ms (min) for MAX6720UTVHD3+ | Suitable for systems requiring longer reset hold time during slow power-rail ramp-up or extended FPGA configuration | Select MAX6720UTVHD5+ only if design requires >210ms timeout; otherwise MAX6720UTVHD3+ provides optimal balance of speed and margin |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Dual-supply monitor (no RSTIN), 3.3V fixed VDD threshold, 200ms timeout, 2.5µA supply current | Lacks third-voltage monitoring capability and has lower accuracy (±2.5% vs ±1.5%) on 3.3V threshold | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR only for cost-sensitive dual-rail applications where RSTIN functionality is unnecessary and tighter threshold tolerance is not required |
Compared with MAX6720UTVHD5+, the MAX6720UTVHD3+ offers half the reset timeout period for faster system recovery, while versus TPS3808G33DBVR it delivers triple-voltage monitoring, superior threshold accuracy, and higher drive strength-critical for noise-immune reset signaling in industrial environments.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for VCC1 on the MAX6720UTVHD3+?
The MAX6720UTVHD3+ has a factory-trimmed VCC1 reset threshold of 4.625V (±1.5%) over the full -40°C to +85°C temperature range. This value is encoded in the "TV" suffix per Maxim's Reset Voltage Threshold Suffix Guide and is verified during production test-not derived from external resistors or user adjustment.
Does the MAX6720UTVHD3+ support monitoring a third voltage supply?
Yes, the MAX6720UTVHD3+ supports third-voltage monitoring via its RSTIN pin, which compares the applied voltage against an internal 626.5mV reference. By connecting an external resistor divider, users can set the trip point for supplies ranging from 0.62V to 5.5V, enabling flexible auxiliary rail supervision without additional ICs.
What is the reset timeout period for the MAX6720UTVHD3+ and how is it determined?
The MAX6720UTVHD3+ has a fixed minimum reset timeout period of 210ms, indicated by the "D3" suffix in its part number. This duration is generated by an internal RC oscillator and is guaranteed across temperature and voltage; no external capacitor or resistor is needed to set or adjust this timing parameter.
Can the MAX6720UTVHD3+ operate reliably when VCC1 drops below 1.0V?
Yes, the MAX6720UTVHD3+ guarantees correct reset output logic state down to VCC1 or VCC2 = 0.8V. Its internal circuitry remains functional and asserts valid reset even during deep brownout conditions, making it suitable for applications with aggressive power-gating or battery-depletion scenarios.
Is the reset output of the MAX6720UTVHD3+ push-pull or open-drain?
The MAX6720UTVHD3+ features a push-pull active-low reset output (RST pin), eliminating the need for an external pullup resistor. It can source up to 800µA and sink up to 3.2mA at VCC1 ≥ 4.5V, allowing direct connection to microprocessor reset inputs without signal conditioning.
