Product details
Overview
MAX6721AUTTGD3+T from Maxim Integrated is a dual-supply ultra-low-voltage microprocessor supervisory circuit in SOT23-6 package, monitoring VCC1 (primary) and VCC2 (secondary) with factory-trimmed reset thresholds of 4.625V (VTH1) and 3.075V (VTH2), respectively, and featuring a 280ms minimum reset timeout period (D5 suffix). It asserts active-low push-pull RST output when either supply drops below threshold and maintains reset for the full timeout after recovery - critical for reliable boot sequencing in telecom power systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6721AUTTGD3+T datasheet, MAX6721AUTTGD3+T pinout, MAX6721AUTTGD3+T application, or MAX6721AUTTGD3+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its guaranteed reset validity down to VCC1/VCC2 = 0.8V, watchdog timer support (35s startup / 1.12s normal mode), manual-reset input with internal 50kΩ pullup, and compatibility with multivoltage embedded systems requiring AEC-Q100-grade supervision.
Technical Context
The MAX6721AUTTGD3+T implements dual independent voltage comparators with 20ppm/°C tempco and 0.5% hysteresis referenced to VTH typical, enabling stable reset assertion across -40°C to +125°C. Its reset logic is synchronized to VCC1 for RST/RST1 outputs and to VCC2 for RST2, with propagation delays under 20µs from VCC transient detection to RST assertion.
This variant includes watchdog input (WDI) with dual-mode timing architecture, manual-reset (MR) input tolerant to CMOS levels, and supports push-pull RST output referenced to VCC1 - distinguishing it from open-drain variants in the MAX6715A–MAX6729A family. The D5 suffix explicitly denotes 280ms (min) reset timeout, confirmed in Table 2 of the datasheet.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC1 Reset Threshold | 4.625V (typ), factory-trimmed - ensures precise brownout detection on primary 5V rail before system instability |
| VCC2 Reset Threshold | 3.075V (typ), factory-trimmed - matches common secondary 3.3V supply for coordinated dual-rail reset |
| Reset Timeout Period | 280ms (min), D5 suffix - provides sufficient hold time for slow-start DC-DC converters and FPGA configuration |
| Supply Current | 10µA (typ) at 3.6V - enables battery-backed operation in portable equipment without significant drain |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial control environments |
| Reset Output Type | Push-pull active-low RST - eliminates need for external pullup resistor, simplifies PCB layout and reduces BOM count |
| Watchdog Timeout | 35s (min) startup / 1.12s (min) normal mode - accommodates lengthy firmware initialization then enforces tight runtime supervision |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-6 package (package code U6+1), 1.6mm × 2.9mm footprint, thermal resistance θJA = 115°C/W (multilayer board).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RST/RST1 | Active-low reset output | Push-pull driver referenced to VCC1; asserts low on VCC1/VCC2 undervoltage, MR low, or WDI timeout - directly drives µP reset pin without external components |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all internal comparators, timers, and output drivers; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise-induced false resets |
| 3 - MR | Active-low manual-reset input | Internal 50kΩ pullup to VCC1; logic-low pulse ≥1µs forces reset - enables field service or test-mode reinitialization without power cycle |
| 4 - VCC2 | Secondary supply input | Powers internal circuitry when VCC2 > VCC1; input to VCC2 comparator with 3.075V threshold - monitors 3.3V auxiliary rails independently |
| 5 - VCC1 | Primary supply input | Main power source and reference for RST output; input to VCC1 comparator with 4.625V threshold - ensures reset during 5V rail collapse before logic corruption |
| 6 - WDI | Watchdog input | Edge-sensitive input; unconnected state disables watchdog; transitions clear timer - used to verify µP software execution integrity in safety-critical loops |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent voltage monitoring | Simultaneous VCC1 (4.625V) and VCC2 (3.075V) supervision with separate comparators - prevents single-point failure in multirail systems |
| Guaranteed reset validity to 0.8V | Outputs remain functional even as VCC1 or VCC2 decays to 0.8V - ensures clean reset assertion during deep brownout conditions |
| Immunity to short VCC transients | Rejects glitches <20µs duration (at 100mV overdrive) - avoids spurious resets from switching noise or ESD events |
| Low 10µA supply current | Enables integration into always-on subsystems (e.g., RTC backup, wake-on-LAN) without compromising battery life |
| Watchdog disable via open WDI | No external pullup required; internal 200nA detector identifies floating WDI - simplifies design when watchdog not needed |
Applications
| Telecom Power Management | Industrial PLC Controllers |
|---|---|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Generating single reset pulse from dual supply faults to avoid race conditions between subsystems. Use Value: Push-pull RST output drives both devices directly; 280ms timeout aligns with PHY lock time - reducing system-level reset coordination complexity. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6722AUTTGD3+T | Open-drain RST output instead of push-pull; identical thresholds, timeout, and pinout | Requires external pullup resistor; suitable where level-shifting or wired-OR reset bus is needed | Select MAX6722AUTTGD3+T only when interfacing to bidirectional µP reset pins or multi-drop reset networks |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single-supply (3.3V only), no VCC2 input or WDI; 200ms timeout; SOT23-6 package | Lacks dual-monitoring capability and watchdog - limited to simpler 3.3V-only systems | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR only for cost-sensitive, single-rail applications where VCC2 supervision and watchdog are unnecessary |
Compared with MAX6721AUTTGD3+T, MAX6722AUTTGD3+T requires external biasing but enables shared reset buses, while TPS3808G33DBVR reduces functionality and cost but sacrifices dual-supply monitoring and watchdog - making MAX6721AUTTGD3+T optimal for robust multivoltage systems demanding guaranteed reset integrity.

FAQ
What is the exact reset timeout period of the MAX6721AUTTGD3+T?
The MAX6721AUTTGD3+T has a minimum reset timeout period of 280ms, as indicated by the "D5" suffix in its part number per the Reset Timeout Period Suffix Guide. This value is guaranteed over the full -40°C to +125°C operating temperature range and is independent of supply voltage within the 0.8V–5.5V specification.
Does the MAX6721AUTTGD3+T support monitoring a third voltage rail?
No, the MAX6721AUTTGD3+T does not support a third monitored voltage. It is a dual-supply supervisor monitoring only VCC1 and VCC2. Models like MAX6723A–MAX6727A include the RSTIN input for adjustable third-rail monitoring, but MAX6721AUTTGD3+T lacks this pin and associated circuitry.
Is the watchdog timer enabled by default on the MAX6721AUTTGD3+T?
No, the watchdog timer on the MAX6721AUTTGD3+T is disabled by default. It activates only when the WDI pin receives valid transitions; leaving WDI unconnected engages the internal 200nA detector that disables watchdog functionality - ensuring safe operation without additional configuration.
What is the function of the MR pin on the MAX6721AUTTGD3+T?
The MR (Manual-Reset) pin on the MAX6721AUTTGD3+T is an active-low input with internal 50kΩ pullup to VCC1. Pulling MR low for ≥1µs forces an immediate reset assertion, and reset remains active for the full 280ms timeout after MR returns high - enabling field service, test-mode initiation, or emergency recovery without power cycling.
Can the MAX6721AUTTGD3+T operate with VCC1 = 3.3V and VCC2 = 1.8V?
Yes, the MAX6721AUTTGD3+T operates with VCC1 = 3.3V and VCC2 = 1.8V. Its absolute maximum ratings allow VCC1 and VCC2 up to 5.5V, and its reset comparators function correctly across the specified 0.8V–5.5V range. However, the factory-trimmed thresholds (4.625V and 3.075V) are fixed and do not scale - so these voltages must exceed their respective thresholds to avoid spurious reset.
