Product details
Overview
MAX6721UTTGD3+T 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 and telecom equipment.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6721UTTGD3+T datasheet, MAX6721UTTGD3+T pinout, MAX6721UTTGD3+T application, or MAX6721UTTGD3+T 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/short-normal timeout modes.
Technical Context
The MAX6721UTTGD3+T implements independent voltage comparators for VCC1 and VCC2 with factory-trimmed thresholds (4.625V ±125mV and 3.075V ±75mV), hysteresis of 0.5%, and temperature coefficient of 20ppm/°C. Reset assertion occurs on any supply drop below threshold, manual reset (MR) activation, or watchdog timeout.
Its dual-mode watchdog uses a 35s minimum initial timeout after reset events (power-up, MR, or WDI timeout) and transitions to 1.12s minimum normal timeout after first valid WDI edge. The open-drain RST output requires external pullup and remains asserted for ≥210ms after all monitored conditions recover.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC1 Threshold | 4.625V (±125mV); monitors primary supply like 5V or 4.8V rails in telecom systems |
| VCC2 Threshold | 3.075V (±75mV); tracks secondary supplies such as 3.3V I/O or 3.0V core rails |
| Reset Timeout | 210ms (min); ensures µP completes boot sequence before releasing reset |
| Watchdog Timeout | 35s (min startup), 1.12s (min normal); accommodates long initialization then tight fault detection |
| Supply Current | 14µA (typ at 3.6V); enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered devices |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C; supports industrial and outdoor embedded deployments |
| Reset Valid Down To | VCC1 or VCC2 ≥ 0.8V; guarantees correct logic state during deep brownout |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-6 package: 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm body, gull-wing leads, RoHS-compliant lead-free (+T) finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RST | Active-low open-drain reset output; requires external pullup; asserts when VCC1/VCC2 drop, MR pulls low, or WDI times out |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference for all internal comparators, watchdog, and output drivers |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input; internal 50kΩ pullup to VCC1; 1µs minimum pulse width |
| 4 | VCC2 | Secondary supply input (0.9–3.3V range); powers internal circuitry when > VCC1 and sets VCC2 threshold reference |
| 5 | WDI | Watchdog input; rising/falling edge clears timer; long (35s) startup mode followed by short (1.12s) normal mode |
| 6 | VCC1 | Primary supply input (1.8–5.0V range); powers device when > VCC2 and sets VCC1 threshold reference |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent voltage monitoring | Simultaneous tracking of VCC1 (4.625V) and VCC2 (3.075V) with separate comparators and hysteresis |
| Guaranteed reset validity at low VCC | Outputs remain functional and correctly asserted even when VCC1 or VCC2 drops to 0.8V |
| Two-phase watchdog timer | 35s startup window allows full system boot; 1.12s runtime window detects stalled firmware execution |
| Immunity to short VCC transients | No false reset for negative-going glitches ≤20µs (at 100mV overdrive), reducing spurious reboots |
| Low quiescent current | 14µA typical supply draw extends battery life in portable and remote sensor nodes |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-voltage supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6722UTTGD3+T | Push-pull RST output instead of open-drain; same thresholds, timeout, and watchdog features | Eliminates need for external pullup resistor; better suited for direct drive of µP reset pins requiring active-high enable | Select MAX6722UTTGD3+T when interfacing with processors lacking internal pullup or requiring stronger drive capability |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single-supply monitor (3.3V only); no watchdog or MR input; 200ms timeout; SOT23-6 package | Lacks dual-rail monitoring, manual reset, and watchdog-suitable only for simple 3.3V-only systems | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR only if application requires basic 3.3V supervision without redundancy or fault detection features |
Compared with MAX6721UTTGD3+T, MAX6722UTTGD3+T offers push-pull drive for simplified layout but loses open-drain flexibility; TPS3808G33DBVR reduces cost and complexity but sacrifices dual-supply coverage, watchdog, and manual reset-making it unsuitable for systems requiring robust fault recovery.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for VCC1 and VCC2 on the MAX6721UTTGD3+T?
The MAX6721UTTGD3+T has factory-trimmed reset thresholds of 4.625V (±125mV) for VCC1 and 3.075V (±75mV) for VCC2, as indicated by the "TG" suffix per Maxim's Reset Voltage Threshold Suffix Guide. These values are guaranteed over -40°C to +85°C and include 0.5% hysteresis referenced to typical threshold.
Does the MAX6721UTTGD3+T include a watchdog timer, and how does it operate?
Yes, the MAX6721UTTGD3+T integrates a dual-mode watchdog timer: a 35s minimum startup timeout after any reset event (power-up, MR, or WDI timeout), followed by a 1.12s minimum normal timeout triggered by the first valid WDI edge. This architecture accommodates lengthy boot sequences while enabling rapid fault detection during runtime.
What package type and pin count does the MAX6721UTTGD3+T use?
The MAX6721UTTGD3+T is housed in a 6-pin SOT23-6 package (2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm), with lead-free (+T) finish per ordering code. Pinout includes VCC1, VCC2, GND, RST (open-drain), MR, and WDI - no RSTIN or PFI pins, confirming its dual-supply (not triple) configuration.
Can the MAX6721UTTGD3+T monitor a third voltage rail?
No, the MAX6721UTTGD3+T is a dual-voltage supervisor and does not include RSTIN or PFI inputs. Its pinout and Selector Guide confirm it lacks the auxiliary monitoring capability found in MAX6723–MAX6729 variants. For triple-rail supervision, consider MAX6723UTTGD3+T or MAX6728UTTGD3+T.
What is the minimum supply voltage at which the MAX6721UTTGD3+T guarantees correct reset output behavior?
The MAX6721UTTGD3+T guarantees valid reset output logic state as long as either VCC1 or VCC2 remains ≥0.8V. Below this level, reset behavior is not specified. This feature ensures deterministic operation during deep brownout conditions common in battery-backed systems.
