Product details
Overview
The MAX6721UTZGD3 from Maxim Integrated is a dual-voltage microprocessor supervisory circuit in 6-pin SOT23 package, monitoring VCC1 (4.625V factory-trimmed threshold) and VCC2 (3.075V factory-trimmed threshold), with watchdog timer (35s startup / 1.12s normal timeout), manual-reset input, and guaranteed reset validity down to VCC1 or VCC2 = 0.8V - used in telecom power sequencing and industrial embedded controllers.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6721UTZGD3 datasheet, MAX6721UTZGD3 pinout, MAX6721UTZGD3 application, or MAX6721UTZGD3 equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-supply threshold accuracy (±1.5% over -40°C to +125°C), watchdog disable-by-open WDI, push-pull active-low RST output referenced to VCC1, and operation with ultra-low supply current (14µA typical at 3.6V).
Technical Context
This device implements independent voltage comparators for VCC1 and VCC2 with factory-trimmed thresholds, a dedicated watchdog timer with dual-mode timing (long startup + short normal), and logic-controlled reset assertion via MR or RSTIN. All reset outputs are synchronized to internal timeout counters with hysteresis (0.5% VTH) and immunity to sub-20µs VCC transients.
The MAX6721UTZGD3 uses a single internal reference (626.5mV) for both VCC1/VCC2 comparators and the optional RSTIN input, enabling consistent threshold tracking across temperature (20ppm/°C tempco). Its push-pull RST output drives high to 0.8×VCC1 at 800µA, while reset deassertion occurs only after all monitored supplies exceed thresholds and timeout expires.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC1 Threshold | 4.625V (factory-trimmed, ±1.5% over full temperature range) |
| VCC2 Threshold | 3.075V (factory-trimmed, ±1.5% over full temperature range) |
| Reset Timeout | 210ms (minimum, fixed by D3 suffix) |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.12s (normal mode), 35s (startup mode after reset) |
| Supply Current | 14µA typical at 3.6V, stable across -40°C to +125°C |
| Operating Range | -40°C to +125°C ambient, VCC1/VCC2 functional down to 0.8V |
| Output Type | Push-pull active-low RST referenced to VCC1 (VOH = 0.8×VCC1 @ 800µA) |
Pinout & Package
MAX6721UTZGD3 is housed in a RoHS-compliant 6-pin SOT23 package (2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm), with gull-wing leads, moisture sensitivity level 1, and specified for surface-mount reflow per JEDEC J-STD-020.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RST | Active-low push-pull reset output referenced to VCC1; asserts when VCC1/VCC2 drop below thresholds, MR pulled low, or watchdog times out |
| 2 | GND | System ground reference for all internal comparators and logic |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual-reset input with 50kΩ internal pullup to VCC1; reset remains active for full timeout after MR release |
| 4 | VCC2 | Secondary supply input powering VCC2 comparator and referenced for RST2 (not present on this variant) |
| 5 | VCC1 | Primary supply input powering core logic and referenced for RST output and MR pullup |
| 6 | WDI | Watchdog input; unconnected disables watchdog; detects rising/falling edges to reset internal timer |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent voltage monitoring | Simultaneous VCC1 (4.625V) and VCC2 (3.075V) supervision with separate comparators and shared timeout logic |
| Dual-mode watchdog timer | 35s minimum startup window enables safe boot of complex firmware before entering 1.12s normal monitoring mode |
| Guaranteed reset validity | Functional reset assertion and deassertion guaranteed even when VCC1 or VCC2 drops to 0.8V |
| Low-power operation | 14µA typical ICC at 3.6V enables use in battery-backed or energy-constrained systems without compromising supervision reliability |
| Transient immunity | Immune to VCC glitches <20µs duration (at 100mV overdrive), reducing false resets in noisy power environments |
Applications
| Telecom Power Sequencing | Industrial PLC I/O Modules |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Sequencing dual-rail power supplies (5V primary, 3.3V secondary) in base station RF front-end modules during cold start and brownout recovery. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-threshold supervisor asserting reset until both rails stabilize above 4.625V and 3.075V, then holding reset for 210ms minimum before releasing µP. Use Value: Prevents premature µP execution during incomplete rail ramp-up, eliminating firmware lockup caused by marginal VCC2 during 5V-to-3.3V LDO settling. |
Use Scenario: Monitoring isolated 24V DC input and internal 3.3V logic supply in DIN-rail mounted programmable logic controllers exposed to wide ambient temperature swings. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervising both rails with guaranteed operation down to 0.8V per rail and -40°C to +125°C rating, using MR for field-service-initiated reset. Use Value: Ensures deterministic system restart after voltage sags induced by motor contactor switching, with no reliance on external reset conditioning circuits. |
| Medical Diagnostic Imaging Subsystem | Automotive ADAS Camera ECU |
Use Scenario: Validating auxiliary 1.8V sensor interface supply and main 3.3V FPGA core supply in portable ultrasound beamformer modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Using push-pull RST to drive FPGA PROG_B pin directly, with watchdog disabled (WDI open) and MR tied to service button. Use Value: Eliminates need for external level-shifter or pullup resistor, reducing BOM count while maintaining IEC 62304 Class C reset integrity requirements. |
Use Scenario: Monitoring 5V camera power rail and 1.2V image sensor core supply in automotive surround-view camera ECUs operating under engine cranking conditions. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Asserting reset during VCC1 dip below 4.625V (e.g., 4.2V cranking sag) while maintaining valid reset state down to VCC1 = 0.8V. Use Value: Prevents corrupted image capture during transient undervoltage events without requiring backup capacitor sizing beyond standard 10µF. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-voltage supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6720UTLTD3-T | No watchdog timer; identical VCC1/VCC2 thresholds (4.625V/3.075V), same 210ms timeout, push-pull RST | Suitable where µP-level activity monitoring is unnecessary; lower quiescent current (10µA typ) | Select when watchdog functionality is unused and lowest possible ICC is required |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single-supply monitor (3.3V threshold only); no VCC2 input; 200ms timeout; open-drain RST; requires external pullup | Lacks dual-rail capability; requires additional IC for VCC2 supervision; smaller footprint (SOT23-5) | Select only if system uses single regulated rail and board space is constrained more than supervision completeness |

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for VCC1 and VCC2 on the MAX6721UTZGD3?
The MAX6721UTZGD3 has factory-trimmed VCC1 reset threshold of 4.625V (±1.5%) and VCC2 reset threshold of 3.075V (±1.5%), as defined by the 'T' and 'S' suffixes in its ordering code. These values are guaranteed over the full -40°C to +125°C operating range and are not adjustable. The MAX6721UTZGD3 uses a single internal 626.5mV reference for both comparators, ensuring matched tracking.
Does the MAX6721UTZGD3 support triple-voltage monitoring?
No, the MAX6721UTZGD3 is a dual-voltage supervisor only - it monitors VCC1 and VCC2. It does not include the RSTIN input required for third-voltage monitoring. That function is available only on variants like MAX6723A–MAX6727A. The MAX6721UTZGD3 pinout omits RSTIN, and its internal circuitry lacks the associated comparator and input buffer.
How is the watchdog timer disabled on the MAX6721UTZGD3?
The watchdog timer on the MAX6721UTZGD3 is disabled by leaving the WDI pin unconnected. An internal 200nA current source detects the open state and disables watchdog functionality. Do not tie WDI to any node sourcing >50nA, as this may falsely enable the watchdog. When disabled, the MAX6721UTZGD3 operates solely as a dual-supply voltage supervisor with manual reset.
What is the reset timeout period for the MAX6721UTZGD3, and is it adjustable?
The MAX6721UTZGD3 has a fixed reset timeout period of 210ms (minimum), indicated by the 'D3' suffix in its part number. This value is factory-programmed and not adjustable via external components or pins. The timeout begins when all monitored supplies rise above their thresholds and continues uninterrupted unless reset is reasserted by a new fault condition.
Can the MAX6721UTZGD3 operate with VCC1 = 1.8V and VCC2 = 1.2V?
Yes, the MAX6721UTZGD3 supports VCC1 and VCC2 as low as 0.8V each, so operation at 1.8V and 1.2V is fully within specification. However, the 4.625V VCC1 threshold means that at 1.8V supply, the VCC1 comparator will always assert reset - confirming the device is intended for higher-voltage rails. For low-voltage systems, select a variant with appropriate threshold suffixes (e.g., 'W' for 1.665V).
