Product details
Overview
MAX6721UTSYD3+ from Maxim Integrated is a dual-voltage microprocessor supervisory circuit in SOT23-6 package, monitoring VCC1 (4.625V threshold) and VCC2 (3.075V threshold) with 210ms reset timeout, watchdog timer (35s startup / 1.12s normal), and open-drain active-low RST output. It ensures reliable system reset during power-up, brownout, or software fault in battery-powered telecom and embedded controllers.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6721UTSYD3+ datasheet, MAX6721UTSYD3+ pinout, MAX6721UTSYD3+ application, or MAX6721UTSYD3+ equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-supply monitoring range (1.8–5.0V / 0.9–3.3V), guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 0.8V, low 14µA supply current, and integrated watchdog with long startup period for complex boot sequences.
Technical Context
The MAX6721UTSYD3+ implements independent voltage comparators for VCC1 and VCC2, each with factory-trimmed thresholds (4.625V ±125mV and 3.075V ±75mV), hysteresis of 0.5%, and tempco of 20ppm/°C. Reset assertion occurs on first fault detection and remains active for 210ms minimum after all monitored supplies exceed thresholds.
Its watchdog timer operates in dual-mode: 35s minimum initial timeout after any reset event (power-on, MR, or watchdog-triggered), then transitions to 1.12s minimum normal timeout upon first WDI edge detection. The RST output is open-drain, requiring external pullup, and remains valid while either VCC1 or VCC2 ≥ 0.8V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC1 Threshold | 4.625V (±125mV) - sets primary supply brownout detection point for 5V rail systems |
| VCC2 Threshold | 3.075V (±75mV) - enables reliable monitoring of 3.3V I/O or auxiliary rails |
| Reset Timeout | 210ms (min) - ensures µP completes power-on initialization before release |
| Watchdog Timeout | 35s (min startup), 1.12s (min normal) - accommodates lengthy boot firmware before enforcing runtime supervision |
| Supply Current | 14µA (typ at 3.6V) - supports multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered IoT nodes |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and telecom equipment environments |

Pinout & Package
SOT23-6 package: 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm body, gull-wing leads, RoHS-compliant lead-free finish (+ suffix).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RST | Active-low open-drain reset output; requires external pullup; asserts when VCC1/VCC2 drop below thresholds or WDI timeout occurs |
| 2 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input; internal 50kΩ pullup to VCC1; 1µs minimum pulse width required for reliable assertion |
| 4 | VCC2 | Secondary supply input (0.9–3.3V); powers internal comparator for VCC2 monitoring and sets RST2 reference if present |
| 5 | VCC1 | Primary supply input (1.8–5.0V); powers device core and sets RST output reference voltage |
| 6 | WDI | Watchdog input; rising/falling edge clears timer; held high/low >1.12s triggers reset after initial 35s window |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent voltage monitoring | Simultaneous VCC1 (4.625V) and VCC2 (3.075V) supervision with separate comparators avoids single-point failure in multirail systems |
| Guaranteed reset validity down to 0.8V | Ensures deterministic reset state even during deep brownout conditions where VCC drops near device cutoff |
| Dual-mode watchdog timer | 35s startup timeout prevents spurious resets during boot; 1.12s runtime timeout catches stalled firmware execution |
| Immunity to short VCC transients | Withstands ≤20µs negative glitches up to 100mV below threshold without asserting reset, reducing false triggers |
| Low 14µA supply current | Enables integration into always-on subsystems without compromising battery life in portable equipment |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-voltage supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6326UR29D3+ | Single-supply (2.93V threshold), no watchdog, 200ms timeout, SOT23-5 | Lacks VCC2 monitoring and WDI; suitable only for single-rail systems | Select when only primary rail supervision is needed and board space is constrained to 5-pin footprint |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single-supply (3.3V threshold), no watchdog, 200ms timeout, SOT23-6, 1.6µA ICC | No dual-monitoring or watchdog; lower supply current but no fault coverage for secondary rail | Prefer for ultra-low-power single-rail applications where secondary rail reliability is managed elsewhere |
Compared with MAX6721UTSYD3+, MAX6326UR29D3+ reduces functionality (no VCC2 or WDI) but saves board area; TPS3808G33DBVR offers lower ICC but cannot supervise two rails simultaneously-making MAX6721UTSYD3+ essential for systems requiring coordinated dual-rail reset and runtime watchdog enforcement.

FAQ
What are the exact reset threshold voltages for MAX6721UTSYD3+?
The MAX6721UTSYD3+ has factory-trimmed reset thresholds of 4.625V (±125mV) for VCC1 and 3.075V (±75mV) for VCC2, as indicated by the 'SY' suffix per Maxim's Reset Voltage Threshold Suffix Guide. These values are tested and guaranteed over -40°C to +85°C and enable precise brownout detection for 5V and 3.3V rails. The MAX6721UTSYD3+ does not support adjustable RSTIN or PFI inputs.
Does MAX6721UTSYD3+ include a watchdog timer, and how is it configured?
Yes, MAX6721UTSYD3+ integrates a dual-mode watchdog timer with a 35s minimum initial timeout after any reset event and a 1.12s minimum normal timeout after the first WDI transition. Configuration requires connecting WDI to a µP GPIO that toggles during normal operation; no external components or register writes are needed. The MAX6721UTSYD3+ watchdog is enabled by default and requires no setup.
What is the reset output type and drive capability of MAX6721UTSYD3+?
MAX6721UTSYD3+ features an open-drain active-low RST output (Pin 1) with VOL ≤ 0.4V at ISINK = 3.2mA (VCC ≥ 4.5V). It requires an external pullup resistor to VCC1. This configuration allows wired-OR reset signaling and direct interface to bidirectional µP reset pins. The MAX6721UTSYD3+ does not provide push-pull or active-high reset variants.
Can MAX6721UTSYD3+ monitor a third voltage rail?
No, MAX6721UTSYD3+ is a dual-voltage supervisor and lacks RSTIN or PFI inputs. The 'Y' in its suffix denotes VCC2 = 3.075V, and 'S' denotes VCC1 = 4.625V; no third-monitoring capability is included. For triple-voltage supervision, consider MAX6723UTSYD3+ (with RSTIN) or MAX6728UTSYD3+ (with PFI/PFO), both in SOT23-6 package.
What is the minimum operating voltage guarantee for MAX6721UTSYD3+ reset functionality?
MAX6721UTSYD3+ guarantees valid reset output logic state down to VCC1 or VCC2 = 0.8V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. This ensures deterministic reset assertion even during severe brownout conditions where supply rails dip near device operational limits. Below 0.8V, reset behavior is not characterized.
