Product details
Overview
MAX6721UTSDD3+T from Maxim Integrated is a dual-voltage microprocessor supervisory circuit in 6-pin SOT23 package, monitoring VCC1 (4.625V threshold) and VCC2 (3.075V threshold) with 210ms reset timeout, watchdog input, and manual reset capability - used to ensure reliable power-up and brownout recovery in telecom and industrial embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6721UTSDD3+T datasheet, MAX6721UTSDD3+T pinout, MAX6721UTSDD3+T application, or MAX6721UTSDD3+T equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-supply monitoring accuracy (±1.5% VTH), guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 0.8V, 14µA supply current at 3.6V, and integrated watchdog with 35s startup / 1.12s normal timeout.
Technical Context
The MAX6721UTSDD3+T implements independent voltage comparators for VCC1 and VCC2, each with factory-trimmed thresholds (4.625V and 3.075V respectively), hysteresis of 0.5%, and tempco of 20ppm/°C. Reset assertion occurs on any supply drop below threshold, with minimum 210ms timeout after all supplies recover.
It integrates a dual-mode watchdog timer: 35s minimum initial timeout after reset for system boot, followed by 1.12s minimum normal timeout requiring WDI edge transitions. Manual reset (MR) features internal 50kΩ pullup and 1µs minimum pulse width support.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC1 Threshold | 4.625V (factory-trimmed, ±1.5% tolerance) - ensures precise primary supply monitoring for 5V or 4.8V rails |
| VCC2 Threshold | 3.075V (factory-trimmed, ±1.5% tolerance) - supports accurate secondary supply supervision for 3.3V I/O or core rails |
| Reset Timeout | 210ms (typical) - provides sufficient hold time for processor initialization and peripheral stabilization |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.12s (min normal mode) - enables rapid fault detection during runtime without false triggers during boot |
| Supply Current | 14µA (typ at 3.6V) - minimizes quiescent power in battery-backed or energy-sensitive applications |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and telecom equipment operating in extended ambient conditions |
| Reset Valid Down To | VCC1 or VCC2 ≥ 0.8V - guarantees functional reset output even during deep brownout conditions |
Pinout & Package
MAX6721UTSDD3+T is housed in a 6-pin SOT23-6 package (2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm), RoHS-compliant and lead-free (+T suffix), with thermal pad omitted. Pin 1 marked via dot; pins numbered counterclockwise from marking.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RST | Active-low open-drain reset output - requires external pullup; asserts when VCC1/VCC2 drops below threshold or MR pulled low |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference for all internal comparators, watchdog, and reset logic |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input - internal 50kΩ pullup to VCC1; 1µs minimum pulse width ensures noise immunity |
| 4 | VCC2 | Secondary supply input - powers internal circuitry when > VCC1 and sets VCC2 threshold reference |
| 5 | VCC1 | Primary supply input - powers device when > VCC2 and defines main reset threshold reference |
| 6 | WDI | Watchdog input - rising/falling edges reset 1.12s timeout; long initial 35s window accommodates boot sequences |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent voltage monitors | Separate precision comparators for VCC1 (4.625V) and VCC2 (3.075V) eliminate need for external resistor dividers |
| Guaranteed reset validity at low VCC | Functional reset output asserted reliably down to VCC1 or VCC2 = 0.8V - critical for brownout resilience |
| Dual-mode watchdog timer | 35s startup timeout prevents spurious resets during boot; 1.12s runtime timeout detects software hangs |
| Low-power operation | 14µA typical supply current at 3.6V enables use in always-on, battery-critical subsystems |
| Immunity to VCC transients | Validated resistance to short negative-going glitches (e.g., <20µs at 100mV overdrive) avoids nuisance resets |
Applications
| Telecom Power Sequencing | Industrial PLC Controller |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Monitoring dual 5V/3.3V rails in base station power management unit during cold start and hot-swap events.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-voltage supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6722UTSDD3+T | Push-pull RST output (vs. open-drain on MAX6721UTSDD3+T); identical thresholds, timeout, and watchdog specs | Eliminates need for external pullup resistor; better suited for direct drive of µP reset pins with weak internal pullups | Select MAX6722UTSDD3+T when interfacing with processors lacking strong reset pin pullups or requiring active-high reset polarity compatibility |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single-supply monitor (3.3V only); no watchdog or MR input; 200ms timeout; 1.6µA supply current | Lacks dual-monitoring, watchdog, and manual reset - suitable only for simple 3.3V-only systems | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR only for cost-sensitive, single-rail applications where MAX6721UTSDD3+T features are unused |
Compared with MAX6722UTSDD3+T, the MAX6721UTSDD3+T offers open-drain flexibility for level-shifting and wired-OR configurations; versus TPS3808G33DBVR, it delivers full dual-rail supervision, watchdog, and MR functionality essential for complex embedded systems.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for VCC1 and VCC2 on the MAX6721UTSDD3+T?
The MAX6721UTSDD3+T has factory-trimmed reset thresholds of 4.625V for VCC1 and 3.075V for VCC2, with ±1.5% tolerance over temperature. These values are encoded in the "SD" suffix per Maxim's Reset Voltage Threshold Suffix Guide and verified in the Electrical Characteristics table of the official datasheet.
Does the MAX6721UTSDD3+T support watchdog functionality, and what are its timing modes?
Yes, the MAX6721UTSDD3+T includes a dual-mode watchdog timer: a 35s minimum initial timeout after any reset event (power-up, MR, or watchdog timeout) to accommodate system boot, followed by a 1.12s minimum normal timeout requiring WDI edge transitions during runtime - both timings are production-guaranteed.
What package type and pin count does the MAX6721UTSDD3+T use?
The MAX6721UTSDD3+T uses a 6-pin SOT23-6 package (2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm), RoHS-compliant and lead-free, with pin 1 identified by a dot marking. This matches the ordering information in the datasheet's "Ordering Information" section for MAX6721UT_ _D_ -T variants.
How does the MAX6721UTSDD3+T ensure valid reset output during deep brownout conditions?
The MAX6721UTSDD3+T guarantees correct reset logic state (asserted low on RST) even when VCC1 or VCC2 drops to 0.8V - documented in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Detailed Description sections. This is achieved via internal biasing and comparator design, enabling reliable last-chance reset before complete power loss.
Is the manual reset input (MR) of the MAX6721UTSDD3+T internally pulled up, and what is its minimum pulse width?
Yes, the MR pin of the MAX6721UTSDD3+T features an internal 50kΩ pullup resistor to VCC1 and accepts TTL/CMOS logic levels. Its minimum pulse width is 1µs, validated across temperature and supply ranges - ensuring robust noise rejection while supporting momentary switch interfaces without external debounce.
