Product details
Overview
The MAX6720UTZWD3+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). It asserts an active-low push-pull reset for 210ms (min) after any supply drop, supports manual reset and watchdog timer, and operates from -40°C to +85°C. It is used in multivoltage embedded systems requiring reliable power-up sequencing and brownout protection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6720UTZWD3+T datasheet, MAX6720UTZWD3+T pinout, MAX6720UTZWD3+T application, or MAX6720UTZWD3+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-supply monitoring with factory-trimmed thresholds, 210ms reset timeout, push-pull RST output referenced to VCC1, 14µA typical supply current at 3.6V, and guaranteed reset validity down to VCC1 or VCC2 = 0.8V.
Technical Context
This device implements a dual-threshold voltage monitor with independent VCC1 and VCC2 inputs, plus a high-impedance RSTIN comparator referenced to a 626.5mV internal bandgap. Its reset logic combines asynchronous fault detection (VCC1/VCC2/RSTIN undervoltage, MR low, or WDI timeout) with a deterministic 210ms minimum timeout period after recovery.
The integrated watchdog features a dual-mode timer: 35s minimum startup period after reset, followed by 1.12s minimum normal timeout upon first WDI edge detection. The push-pull RST output is driven from VCC1 and guarantees VOL ≤ 0.4V at ISINK = 3.2mA, while remaining valid down to VCC1 = 0.8V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC1 Threshold | 4.625V (factory-trimmed, ±125mV tolerance); ensures reliable reset assertion during 5V rail brownout |
| VCC2 Threshold | 3.075V (factory-trimmed, ±75mV tolerance); monitors 3.3V I/O supply with tight margin |
| RSTIN Reference | 626.5mV (internal bandgap); enables precise external monitoring of auxiliary supplies ≥0.62V via resistor divider |
| Reset Timeout | 210ms (min); provides sufficient hold time for processor initialization and peripheral stabilization |
| Supply Current | 14µA (typ at 3.6V); minimizes quiescent load on battery-backed or low-power rails |
| Watchdog Period | 1.12s (min normal mode); detects software hangs without excessive latency or false triggers |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C; qualified for industrial and telecom equipment environments |
Pinout & Package
MAX6720UTZWD3+T is housed in a 6-pin SOT23-6 package with gull-wing leads, 1.27mm pitch, and 2.9mm × 1.6mm footprint. Pin 1 is marked with a dot; device orientation follows JEDEC MO-178.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RST | Active-low push-pull reset output referenced to VCC1; drives low to reset µP until timeout expires |
| 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; debounced by design, no external RC needed |
| 4 | VCC2 | Secondary supply input (0.9V–3.3V range); powers internal VCC2 monitor and RST2 if present (not used in MAX6720) |
| 5 | RSTIN | High-impedance adjustable reset input; asserts reset when voltage falls below 626.5mV reference |
| 6 | VCC1 | Primary supply input (1.8V–5.0V range); powers core logic, VCC1 monitor, and RST output driver |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual factory-trimmed voltage thresholds | VCC1 = 4.625V and VCC2 = 3.075V eliminate external resistor networks and calibration effort |
| Externally adjustable third-voltage monitor | RSTIN input with 626.5mV reference enables monitoring of auxiliary rails (e.g., 1.2V core, 1.8V memory) using two standard resistors |
| Push-pull reset output | RST pin drives actively high/low without external pullup, simplifying interface to µP reset pins and reducing BOM count |
| Dual-mode watchdog timer | 35s startup window allows full system boot before enabling 1.12s runtime supervision, preventing false resets during initialization |
| Guaranteed reset validity down to 0.8V | Ensures correct reset state even during deep brownout conditions where VCC1 or VCC2 dips near 0.8V |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6720UTZTD3+T | Same package and pinout, but open-drain RST output instead of push-pull; requires external pullup resistor | Suitable for systems needing wired-OR reset buses or level translation to lower-voltage logic | Select when interfacing to bidirectional µP reset pins or shared reset lines where active pull-down is required |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single-supply monitor (3.3V threshold only); no RSTIN or watchdog; 200ms timeout; SOT23-6 package | Lacks triple-monitoring and advanced features; simpler BOM for basic 3.3V-only applications | Choose for cost-sensitive designs with only one monitored rail and no need for manual reset or watchdog supervision |
Compared with MAX6720UTZWD3+T, the MAX6720UTZTD3+T offers identical monitoring capability but requires external biasing for RST, while TPS3808G33DBVR reduces feature set and cost for single-rail use cases-neither is pin-compatible, but both serve adjacent design requirements with verified electrical equivalence in their respective operating scopes.

FAQ
What is the exact reset timeout period of the MAX6720UTZWD3+T?
The MAX6720UTZWD3+T has a guaranteed minimum reset timeout period of 210ms, as indicated by the "D3" suffix in its part number. This is the duration for which the active-low RST output remains asserted after all monitored supplies (VCC1, VCC2, RSTIN) rise above their respective thresholds, or after MR returns high. Typical value is 210ms, with maximum specified at 280ms over temperature.
Does the MAX6720UTZWD3+T support monitoring a third voltage, and how is it configured?
Yes, the MAX6720UTZWD3+T supports third-voltage monitoring via the RSTIN pin, which compares the applied voltage against an internal 626.5mV reference. To monitor a higher voltage (e.g., 1.2V), connect a resistor divider between the target rail and GND, with the midpoint fed to RSTIN. The threshold is set by VEXT_TH = 626.5mV × (R1 + R2)/R2, enabling precise undervoltage detection for auxiliary supplies.
What type of reset output does the MAX6720UTZWD3+T provide, and what are its drive characteristics?
The MAX6720UTZWD3+T provides an active-low push-pull reset output (RST pin), referenced to VCC1. It guarantees VOL ≤ 0.4V at ISINK = 3.2mA when asserted, and VOH ≥ 0.8 × VCC1 when deasserted with ISOURCE = 800µA. This eliminates the need for an external pullup resistor and ensures direct compatibility with most µP reset inputs.
How does the watchdog timer function in the MAX6720UTZWD3+T, and what are its timing modes?
The MAX6720UTZWD3+T features a dual-mode watchdog timer: after any reset event, it enters a 35s minimum startup period to allow full system boot, then transitions to a 1.12s minimum normal timeout mode upon detection of the first WDI edge. This prevents false timeouts during initialization while ensuring rapid response to software hangs during steady-state operation.
Is the MAX6720UTZWD3+T guaranteed to operate correctly at very low supply voltages?
Yes, the MAX6720UTZWD3+T is guaranteed to maintain valid reset output logic states down to VCC1 or VCC2 = 0.8V. This ensures reliable brownout detection and reset assertion even during severe supply sags, supporting robust operation in battery-powered or poorly regulated systems where rail collapse may occur.
