Product details
Overview
MAX6721UTYDD3+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 timer (35s startup / 1.12s normal), and power-fail input. It ensures reliable system reset during brownout in telecom power supplies and industrial controllers.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6721UTYDD3+T datasheet, MAX6721UTYDD3+T pinout, MAX6721UTYDD3+T application, or MAX6721UTYDD3+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 WDI/PFI functionality for fault-tolerant embedded systems.
Technical Context
The MAX6721UTYDD3+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. Its dual-mode watchdog uses a 35s minimum startup period followed by 1.12s normal timeout, triggered by WDI edge transitions.
This device integrates a power-fail comparator (PFI threshold = 626.5mV ±15.5mV) driving an open-drain PFO output, manual reset input (MR) with 50kΩ internal pullup, and push-pull RST output referenced to VCC1. All reset logic 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 monitoring |
| VCC2 Threshold | 3.075V (±75mV) - enables secondary supply supervision for 3.3V I/O or core rails |
| Reset Timeout | 210ms (min) - ensures µP completes boot sequence before releasing reset |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.12s (min) normal mode - detects software hangs without false triggers during transient noise |
| Supply Current | 14µA (typ at 3.6V) - supports battery-backed systems with multi-year runtime |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and telecom equipment environments |
| PFI Threshold | 626.5mV (±15.5mV) - allows precise external resistor-divider setup for custom power-fail warning |
Pinout & Package
MAX6721UTYDD3+T is housed in a 6-pin SOT23-6 package (2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm), RoHS-compliant and lead-free (+T suffix).
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RST | Active-low push-pull reset output referenced to VCC1; asserts when VCC1/VCC2 drop below threshold or WDI times out |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference for all internal comparators and output drivers |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input with 50kΩ internal pullup to VCC1; forces reset on logic-low pulse ≥1µs |
| 4 | VCC2 | Secondary supply input (0.9–3.3V range); powers internal circuitry when > VCC1 and sets VCC2 threshold reference |
| 5 | VCC1 | Primary supply input (1.8–5.0V range); powers device when > VCC2 and sets VCC1 threshold reference |
| 6 | WDI | Watchdog input; rising/falling edge resets 1.12s timeout counter; long idle (>35s) enables startup mode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent voltage monitoring | Simultaneous supervision of VCC1 (4.625V) and VCC2 (3.075V) with separate comparators and hysteresis |
| Guaranteed reset validity down to 0.8V | Ensures correct RST logic state even during deep brownout-critical for fail-safe shutdown sequences |
| Dual-mode watchdog timer | 35s startup window accommodates complex boot firmware; 1.12s runtime monitoring prevents silent hangs |
| Power-fail input with PFO output | PFI accepts external divider for custom trip point; PFO asserts immediately (no timeout) for early warning interrupts |
| Low quiescent current | 14µA typical at 3.6V enables use in always-on subsystems without compromising battery life |
Applications
| Telecom Power Management | Industrial PLC Controllers |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Monitoring redundant 48V DC-DC converter outputs and 3.3V FPGA I/O rails in base station power modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-supply supervisor asserting RST during simultaneous VCC1/VCC2 undervoltage events; PFO signals power-fail interrupt to MCU.

Use Scenario: Supervising 24V fieldbus supply and 5V logic rail in programmable logic controller backplane. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Detects brownout on either rail and initiates controlled I/O shutdown via RST assertion; MR enables emergency local reset. Use Value: Eliminates need for discrete RC reset circuits-reduces BOM count and improves timing accuracy across temperature. |

Use Scenario: Validating 12V PoE injector output and 1.8V CPU core supply during router cold start. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Enforces 210ms reset hold time after both supplies exceed thresholds; WDI monitors bootloader execution. Use Value: Guarantees CPU does not execute invalid code due to premature release from reset during marginal supply conditions. |
Use Scenario: Ensuring clean power-up of imaging sensor array and ADC reference supply in portable ultrasound units. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monitors dual supplies with tight threshold tolerances; PFO triggers non-reset alert for battery-level warning display. Use Value: Supports Class II medical safety requirements by providing deterministic reset behavior under low-VCC stress. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-voltage supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6722UTYDD3+T | Push-pull RST output (same pinout), identical thresholds/timing but no PFI/PFO function | Lacks power-fail monitoring capability; suitable only where PFO interrupt is unnecessary | Select MAX6722UTYDD3+T when system requires dual-supply reset only-reduces external component count |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single-supply monitor (3.3V threshold), 200ms timeout, no WDI or PFI; SOT23-6 package | Cannot supervise dual rails simultaneously; requires separate IC for second supply | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR only for cost-sensitive single-rail designs where dual monitoring is handled externally |
Compared with MAX6722UTYDD3+T and TPS3808G33DBVR, the MAX6721UTYDD3+T uniquely combines dual-supply monitoring, integrated watchdog, and power-fail detection in one 6-pin SOT23-enabling compact, high-reliability supervision without external components or layout compromises.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for VCC1 on MAX6721UTYDD3+T?
The MAX6721UTYDD3+T has a factory-trimmed VCC1 reset threshold of 4.625V, with a tolerance of ±125mV over temperature. This value is encoded in the "YD" suffix per Maxim's Reset Voltage Threshold Suffix Guide and is verified across -40°C to +85°C operation. The threshold applies specifically to the primary supply monitored at the VCC1 pin.
Does MAX6721UTYDD3+T support monitoring a third voltage rail?
No, MAX6721UTYDD3+T is a dual-voltage supervisor and does not include the RSTIN input required for triple-voltage monitoring. That function is reserved for MAX6723–MAX6727 variants. MAX6721UTYDD3+T monitors only VCC1 and VCC2, but adds PFI for auxiliary power-fail detection independent of the main supply rails.
What is the watchdog timeout behavior after power-up for MAX6721UTYDD3+T?
Upon power-up or reset assertion, MAX6721UTYDD3+T enters a 35s minimum startup watchdog mode. After the first valid WDI transition (rising or falling edge), it switches to 1.12s minimum normal timeout. This dual-mode architecture prevents false resets during lengthy boot sequences while ensuring rapid hang detection during runtime.
Can MAX6721UTYDD3+T operate with VCC1 = 1.8V and VCC2 = 1.2V?
Yes, MAX6721UTYDD3+T operates with VCC1 as low as 1.8V and VCC2 as low as 0.9V. Its specified VCC1 range is 1.8V–5.0V and VCC2 range is 0.9V–3.3V. The 4.625V/3.075V thresholds remain valid, and reset output logic is guaranteed down to VCC1 or VCC2 = 0.8V-making it compatible with modern low-voltage SoC platforms.
Is the PFO output on MAX6721UTYDD3+T open-drain or push-pull?
The PFO output on MAX6721UTYDD3+T is open-drain, requiring an external pullup resistor. This is confirmed by the Selector Guide (MAX6721 row shows "√" under "POWER-FAIL INPUT/OUTPUT" and "open drain" in parentheses). Unlike MAX6729, it does not offer push-pull PFO-ensuring compatibility with mixed-voltage interrupt lines.
