Product details
Overview
MAX6721UTYHD3 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 push-pull active-low RST output. It ensures reliable system reset during power-up, brownout, or software fault in embedded controllers requiring dual-rail validation.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6721UTYHD3 datasheet, MAX6721UTYHD3 pinout, MAX6721UTYHD3 application, or MAX6721UTYHD3 equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed reset validity down to VCC1/VCC2 = 0.8V, 14µA typical supply current at 3.6V, immunity to sub-20µs VCC transients, and integrated manual-reset input with 50kΩ internal pullup.
Technical Context
The MAX6721UTYHD3 implements dual independent voltage comparators with factory-trimmed thresholds (VTH1 = 4.625V, VTH2 = 3.075V), a dual-mode watchdog timer (35s min startup delay followed by 1.12s min normal timeout), and push-pull reset assertion referenced to VCC1. Its reset logic remains valid across -40°C to +125°C when either supply exceeds 0.8V.
It features a dedicated WDI input with 200nA unconnected-state detection, MR input with 1µs minimum pulse width and 100ns glitch rejection, and supports external RSTIN monitoring via 626.5mV internal reference - though RSTIN is not implemented in this variant per pin configuration data.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC1 Reset Threshold | 4.625V (factory-trimmed, ±125mV tolerance) - sets primary supply brownout detection point for 5V rail systems |
| VCC2 Reset Threshold | 3.075V (factory-trimmed, ±75mV tolerance) - enables reliable monitoring of 3.3V auxiliary rails |
| Reset Timeout Period | 210ms (minimum) - ensures µP completes boot sequence before release from reset |
| Watchdog Timeout | 35s (startup mode), 1.12s (normal mode) - accommodates long firmware initialization then tight runtime supervision |
| Supply Current | 14µA (typical at 3.6V) - minimizes quiescent load on battery-backed or low-power systems |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial control, and telecom equipment |
| Reset Output Type | Push-pull active-low RST - eliminates need for external pullup resistor; VOH ≥ 0.8×VCC1 at 800µA |
Pinout & Package
MAX6721UTYHD3 is housed in a RoHS-compliant 6-pin SOT23 package (2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm), optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts in portable and industrial applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RST/RST1 | Active-low push-pull reset output referenced to VCC1; asserts when VCC1/VCC2 drops below threshold or MR pulled low |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference for all internal comparators, timers, and output drivers |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual-reset input with 50kΩ internal pullup to VCC1; 1µs minimum pulse width required |
| 4 | VCC2 | Secondary supply input powering VCC2 comparator and enabling dual-rail monitoring capability |
| 5 | VCC1 | Primary supply input powering device core and VCC1 comparator; determines RST output voltage levels |
| 6 | WDI | Watchdog input with 200nA unconnected-state detector; rising/falling edge clears timer; left open disables watchdog |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent voltage monitoring | Simultaneous VCC1 (4.625V) and VCC2 (3.075V) supervision with separate comparators and hysteresis |
| Dual-mode watchdog timer | 35s startup window allows full system boot; 1.12s runtime timeout detects stalled firmware execution |
| Guaranteed reset validity | Reset output remains functional even when VCC1 or VCC2 drops to 0.8V - critical for graceful shutdown |
| Low-glitch immunity | Immune to VCC transients <20µs duration (at 100mV overdrive), reducing false resets in noisy environments |
| Integrated manual reset | MR pin includes internal 50kΩ pullup and 100ns glitch rejection - eliminates external components for basic reset button interface |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Controller | Automotive Body Control Module |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Monitors 5V main logic rail and 3.3V microcontroller core supply in programmable logic controllers operating in harsh factory environments. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-supply supervisor asserting reset if either rail sags below specification during motor switching or EMI events.

Use Scenario: Supervises primary 5V DC-DC output and secondary 3.3V FPGA supply in carrier-grade Ethernet line cards with hot-swap capability. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-rail monitoring combined with watchdog prevents silent firmware hangs during packet processing overload. Use Value: 1.12s watchdog timeout provides rapid fault detection without compromising boot-time margin. |
Use Scenario: Controls safe power-on sequencing and runtime supervision of 5V pump motor driver and 3.3V safety-critical MCU in Class II medical devices. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Push-pull RST output directly drives reset pins of dual MCUs without external pullups, simplifying BOM. Use Value: 14µA supply current extends battery life in portable infusion systems while maintaining full watchdog coverage. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-voltage supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6720UTYHD3 | No watchdog timer; identical VTH1/VTH2 thresholds and 210ms timeout | Suitable where software-level fault detection suffices and hardware watchdog adds unnecessary complexity | Select when system-level watchdog is handled externally or not required for safety certification |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single-supply monitor (3.3V only); 200ms timeout; open-drain RST; no WDI or MR | Limited to single-rail systems; requires external pullup; lacks manual reset and watchdog capabilities | Choose only for cost-sensitive, single-voltage applications where dual-rail supervision is unnecessary |
Compared with MAX6721UTYHD3, MAX6720UTYHD3 removes watchdog functionality while retaining identical dual-threshold supervision and timing, whereas TPS3808G33DBVR reduces feature set to basic single-rail monitoring - making MAX6721UTYHD3 the only option supporting both dual-voltage validation and hardware-level processor activity supervision in one 6-pin SOT23 device.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for VCC1 on MAX6721UTYHD3?
The MAX6721UTYHD3 has a factory-trimmed VCC1 reset threshold of 4.625V (±125mV) - confirmed by the 'T' suffix in the ordering code per Maxim's Reset Voltage Threshold Suffix Guide. This value is fixed and non-adjustable, ensuring precise detection of 5V rail brownout conditions without external components.
Does MAX6721UTYHD3 support monitoring a third voltage rail?
No, MAX6721UTYHD3 does not implement the RSTIN input - its pinout (6-pin SOT23) omits RSTIN functionality. Only variants like MAX6723A–MAX6727A include RSTIN for adjustable third-rail monitoring. MAX6721UTYHD3 is strictly a dual-supply supervisor with VCC1 and VCC2 inputs.
How is the watchdog timer configured on MAX6721UTYHD3?
The MAX6721UTYHD3 watchdog operates in dual-mode: a 35s minimum startup period after any reset event (power-up, MR, or watchdog timeout), followed by a 1.12s minimum normal timeout. The timer resets on any WDI edge; leaving WDI unconnected disables it entirely via an internal 200nA detection circuit.
What is the reset output type and drive capability of MAX6721UTYHD3?
MAX6721UTYHD3 features a push-pull active-low RST output referenced to VCC1. It sources ≥0.8×VCC1 at 800µA and sinks ≤0.4V at 3.2mA, eliminating the need for an external pullup resistor and enabling direct connection to µP reset pins with bidirectional or open-drain interfaces.
Is MAX6721UTYHD3 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, MAX6721UTYHD3 is specified for -40°C to +125°C operation and features guaranteed reset validity down to VCC1/VCC2 = 0.8V - meeting AEC-Q100 stress test requirements for automotive body electronics. Its 6-pin SOT23 package supports reflow soldering and meets RoHS compliance standards.
