Product details
Overview
MAX6721UTVDD3 from Maxim Integrated is a dual-voltage microprocessor supervisory IC in 6-pin SOT23 package, monitoring VCC1 (4.625V threshold) and VCC2 (3.075V threshold) with 210ms reset timeout, watchdog timer (35s startup / 1.12s normal), and push-pull active-low RST output. It ensures reliable system reset during power-up, brownout, or software hang in battery-powered telecom and industrial controllers.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6721UTVDD3 datasheet, MAX6721UTVDD3 pinout, MAX6721UTVDD3 application, or MAX6721UTVDD3 equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-supply threshold accuracy (±1.5% over -40°C to +125°C), guaranteed reset validity down to VCC1/VCC2 = 0.8V, low 14µA supply current at 3.6V, and integrated watchdog disable via floating WDI.
Technical Context
The MAX6721UTVDD3 implements independent voltage comparators for VCC1 and VCC2, each with factory-trimmed thresholds (4.625V and 3.075V respectively) and 0.5% hysteresis. Its dual-mode watchdog uses a 35s minimum startup period after reset, then transitions to 1.12s normal timeout upon first WDI edge detection.
Reset assertion occurs on any monitored supply drop below threshold, MR low pulse, or watchdog timeout; reset remains asserted for 210ms min after all conditions clear. The push-pull RST output is referenced to VCC1 and sinks up to 3.2mA at 4.5V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC1 Threshold | 4.625V (factory-trimmed, ±1.5% over temp - sets primary supply brownout detection point) |
| VCC2 Threshold | 3.075V (factory-trimmed, ±1.5% over temp - enables secondary rail monitoring without external resistors) |
| Reset Timeout | 210ms (min) - ensures µP completes boot sequence before release from reset) |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.12s (min normal mode) - provides rapid fault detection during runtime after 35s startup window) |
| Supply Current | 14µA (typ at 3.6V) - enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered IoT sensors) |
| Operating Temp | -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; drives directly into µP reset pin) |
Pinout & Package
Package: 6-pin SOT23 (2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm, JEDEC MO-178AA). Pinout validated per Maxim datasheet Rev 3 (19-0536).
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RST | Active-low push-pull reset output referenced to VCC1; asserts when VCC1/VCC2 drop below thresholds or watchdog triggers |
| 2 | GND | System ground reference for all internal comparators and logic |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual-reset input with 50kΩ internal pullup to VCC1; forces reset when pulled low |
| 4 | VCC2 | Secondary supply input powering VCC2 comparator and enabling dual-rail monitoring |
| 5 | VCC1 | Primary supply input powering device core and VCC1 comparator; determines RST output voltage level |
| 6 | WDI | Watchdog input; floating disables watchdog; rising/falling edges reset 1.12s timeout counter |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent voltage monitors | Factory-trimmed VCC1=4.625V and VCC2=3.075V eliminate calibration effort and reduce BOM count vs discrete solutions |
| Dual-mode watchdog timer | 35s startup delay prevents false timeout during boot; 1.12s runtime timeout detects software hangs within milliseconds |
| Guaranteed reset validity to 0.8V | Ensures clean reset assertion even during deep brownout - critical for flash programming integrity |
| Low 14µA supply current | Enables always-on supervision in energy-constrained applications like portable medical devices and wireless sensors |
| Push-pull RST output | Drives µP reset pin directly without external components - reduces PCB area and improves noise immunity |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-voltage supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single-supply monitor (3.3V only); no VCC2 input or watchdog; 200ms timeout | Lacks dual-rail capability - requires separate IC for secondary rail monitoring | Select when only primary 3.3V rail supervision is needed and cost is prioritized over feature integration |
| ADM6710LAKSZ-REEL7 | Triple-supply monitor with adjustable RSTIN; 200ms timeout; open-drain RST | Requires external pullup resistor and resistor divider for third rail - increases layout complexity | Select when monitoring three rails is mandatory and push-pull drive is not required |
Compared with TPS3808G33DBVR and ADM6710LAKSZ-REEL7, MAX6721UTVDD3 uniquely integrates dual factory-trimmed thresholds, push-pull RST, and dual-mode watchdog in one 6-pin SOT23 - reducing component count, PCB area, and qualification effort for space-constrained dual-rail systems.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for VCC1 and VCC2 on the MAX6721UTVDD3?
The MAX6721UTVDD3 has factory-trimmed reset thresholds of 4.625V for VCC1 and 3.075V for VCC2, with ±1.5% tolerance over -40°C to +125°C. These values are encoded in the "TV" and "DD" suffixes per Maxim's Reset Voltage Threshold Suffix Guide and do not require external resistor networks.
Does the MAX6721UTVDD3 support watchdog functionality, and how is it configured?
Yes, the MAX6721UTVDD3 includes a dual-mode watchdog timer with 35s minimum startup period after reset and 1.12s minimum normal timeout. It is enabled by connecting WDI to a µP GPIO; leaving WDI floating disables the watchdog. The first WDI edge after reset initiates the 1.12s mode.
What package type and pin count does the MAX6721UTVDD3 use?
The MAX6721UTVDD3 uses a 6-pin SOT23 package (JEDEC MO-178AA, 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm). Pinout is confirmed in Maxim's datasheet Rev 3 (19-0536): Pin 1=RST, Pin 2=GND, Pin 3=MR, Pin 4=VCC2, Pin 5=VCC1, Pin 6=WDI.
Can the MAX6721UTVDD3 monitor a third voltage rail?
No, the MAX6721UTVDD3 is a dual-supply supervisor only. It monitors VCC1 and VCC2 exclusively. For triple-voltage monitoring, consider MAX6723A–MAX6727A variants which include the RSTIN input; the MAX6721UTVDD3 lacks RSTIN, PFI, PFO, and RST2 pins.
What is the reset output type and drive capability of the MAX6721UTVDD3?
The MAX6721UTVDD3 features a push-pull active-low RST output referenced to VCC1. It sinks up to 3.2mA at 4.5V (VOL ≤ 0.4V) and sources up to 800µA (VOH ≥ 0.8×VCC1), eliminating the need for an external pullup resistor and enabling direct connection to µP reset pins.
