Product details
Overview
MAX6725AKASHD3+T from Maxim Integrated is a dual-supply microprocessor supervisory IC monitoring VCC1 (primary) and VCC2 (secondary) with factory-trimmed reset thresholds, 140ms minimum reset timeout, push-pull active-low RST output, manual-reset input (MR), and watchdog timer disable capability. It operates from -40°C to +125°C in SOT23-6 package and is used in telecom power management to ensure reliable boot and brownout recovery.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6725AKASHD3+T datasheet, MAX6725AKASHD3+T pinout, MAX6725AKASHD3+T application, or MAX6725AKASHD3+T equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-voltage monitoring down to 0.8V supply validity, guaranteed reset assertion during VCC1/VCC2 undervoltage, 140ms timeout precision, MR-driven system-level reset control, and watchdog disable via WDI floating - all critical for industrial embedded and automotive-grade power sequencing.
Technical Context
The MAX6725AKASHD3+T integrates two independent voltage comparators with factory-trimmed thresholds (VTH1 = 4.625V ±125mV for VCC1; VTH2 = 3.075V ±75mV for VCC2), a 140ms reset timeout timer, and a manual-reset input with internal 50kΩ pullup to VCC1. Its push-pull RST output is referenced to VCC1 and asserts low when either supply falls below threshold or MR is pulled low.
It features watchdog disable functionality via unconnected WDI pin (detected by 200nA current source), immunity to sub-20µs VCC transients, and guaranteed valid reset logic state down to VCC1 or VCC2 = 0.8V - enabling robust operation in noisy, wide-temperature industrial environments without external supervision circuitry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Timeout Period | 140ms (min) - ensures sufficient hold time for processor initialization after power stabilization |
| VCC1 Reset Threshold | 4.625V (typ), ±125mV - precisely monitors 5V rail integrity with minimal false triggering |
| VCC2 Reset Threshold | 3.075V (typ), ±75mV - accurately supervises 3.3V auxiliary supply in multirail systems |
| Supply Current | 14µA (typ) at 3.6V - enables ultra-low-power operation in battery-backed or energy-sensitive applications |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C - supports under-hood automotive and industrial control environments |
| Reset Output Type | Push-pull active-low RST - eliminates need for external pullup resistor and provides strong drive into μP reset pin |
| Manual-Reset Input | Active-low MR with 50kΩ internal pullup to VCC1 - simplifies board layout and enables hardware-initiated reset without external components |
Pinout & Package
MAX6725AKASHD3+T is housed in a 6-pin SOT23 package (package code U6+1A, outline 21-0058), with thermal resistance θJA = 115°C/W on multilayer PCB - suitable for high-density, thermally constrained designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RST / RST1 | Active-low push-pull reset output referenced to VCC1; asserts low on VCC1/VCC2 undervoltage or MR activation |
| 2 | GND | System ground reference for all internal comparators and timing circuits |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual-reset input with internal 50kΩ pullup to VCC1; initiates reset when pulled to GND |
| 4 | VCC2 | Secondary supply input (0.8V–5.5V); powers internal circuitry when above VCC1 and sets VCC2 monitor threshold |
| 5 | VCC1 | Primary supply input (0.8V–5.5V); powers device when above VCC2 and sets primary reset threshold |
| 6 | WDI | Watchdog input; left unconnected to disable watchdog function; detects open-circuit via 200nA current source |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent voltage monitoring | Simultaneous supervision of VCC1 (4.625V) and VCC2 (3.075V) with separate thresholds and hysteresis - prevents single-point failure in multirail systems |
| Guaranteed reset validity down to 0.8V | Ensures correct RST logic state even during deep brownout conditions - critical for fail-safe shutdown in automotive and industrial power supplies |
| Watchdog disable via floating WDI | Eliminates need for external pullup/pulldown; 200nA detection current avoids interference with high-impedance nodes |
| Immunity to short VCC transients | Rejects <20µs negative-going glitches - avoids spurious resets during switching noise or load dump events |
| Low 14µA typical supply current | Reduces standby power in always-on subsystems such as remote monitoring or battery-buffered controllers |
Applications
| Telecom Power Sequencing | Industrial PLC I/O Module |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-supply supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6726AKASHD3+T | Identical pinout and electrical specs, but features active-high RST output instead of active-low | Required where host μP expects active-high reset assertion (e.g., certain ARM Cortex-M series) | Select MAX6726AKASHD3+T only when active-high logic polarity is mandatory; otherwise MAX6725AKASHD3+T is preferred for direct compatibility with standard reset inputs |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single-supply (3.3V only), no VCC2 input; 200ms timeout; open-drain RST requiring external pullup | Limited to 3.3V-only systems; lacks dual-rail monitoring and MR input | Use only in cost-sensitive, single-rail applications where dual monitoring is unnecessary; not a functional replacement for MAX6725AKASHD3+T's dual-supply capability |
Compared with MAX6726AKASHD3+T and TPS3808G33DBVR, MAX6725AKASHD3+T uniquely delivers factory-trimmed dual-rail supervision with push-pull active-low reset, MR input, and watchdog disable - making it the only option supporting full feature parity in compact SOT23-6 for demanding multivoltage industrial and automotive systems.

FAQ
What is the reset timeout period of MAX6725AKASHD3+T?
The MAX6725AKASHD3+T has a guaranteed minimum reset timeout period of 140ms. This value is factory-trimmed and specified across the full -40°C to +125°C operating temperature range. The timeout begins when VCC1 or VCC2 rises above its respective threshold and ends when the RST output deasserts, ensuring sufficient hold time for microprocessor initialization before release. This timing is fixed and not user-adjustable.
Does MAX6725AKASHD3+T support monitoring a third voltage rail?
No, MAX6725AKASHD3+T does not support third-rail monitoring. It is a dual-supply supervisor designed exclusively for VCC1 and VCC2 inputs. Unlike variants such as MAX6723A or MAX6727A, MAX6725AKASHD3+T lacks the RSTIN pin required for externally adjustable auxiliary voltage monitoring. Its pinout and internal architecture are optimized for two-rail supervision only.
How is the watchdog function disabled on MAX6725AKASHD3+T?
The watchdog function on MAX6725AKASHD3+T is disabled by leaving the WDI pin unconnected. An internal 200nA current source detects the open state, automatically disabling the watchdog timer. No external pullup or pulldown resistor is required. Connecting WDI to any node sourcing >50nA may interfere with detection and unintentionally enable the watchdog.
What is the maximum supply voltage the MAX6725AKASHD3+T can tolerate on VCC1 and VCC2?
MAX6725AKASHD3+T supports absolute maximum supply voltages of +6V on both VCC1 and VCC2 pins. However, functional operation is guaranteed only within 0.8V to 5.5V per supply. Operation above 5.5V risks permanent damage and violates the Absolute Maximum Ratings specification. The device is rated for continuous operation up to 5.5V with full parametric performance.
Is MAX6725AKASHD3+T compatible with AEC-Q100 automotive qualification?
No, MAX6725AKASHD3+T is not AEC-Q100 qualified. While it operates over the extended industrial temperature range (-40°C to +125°C), AEC-Q100 qualification applies only to specific variants explicitly designated in the ordering guide - such as MAX6719AUTTWD1/V+T. MAX6725AKASHD3+T is intended for industrial and telecom applications where AEC-Q100 stress testing is not required.
