Product details
Overview
The MAX6725AKASYD3+ from Maxim Integrated is a dual-voltage microprocessor supervisory IC in 8-pin SOT23 package, monitoring VCC1 (4.625V threshold) and VCC2 (3.075V threshold) with 210ms reset timeout, active-low open-drain RST output, manual-reset input, and watchdog disable capability - used in telecom power management to ensure reliable µP boot under brownout conditions.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6725AKASYD3+ datasheet, MAX6725AKASYD3+ pinout, MAX6725AKASYD3+ application, or MAX6725AKASYD3+ equivalent, key selection factors include guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 0.8V, 14µA typical supply current at 3.6V, immunity to sub-20µs VCC transients, and support for triple-voltage monitoring via external RSTIN divider.
Technical Context
This device implements dual independent voltage comparators with factory-trimmed thresholds (VTH1 = 4.625V, VTH2 = 3.075V), a 210ms minimum reset timeout timer, and an internal 50kΩ pullup on MR. It asserts RST low when either supply drops below its threshold or MR is pulled low, holding reset for the full timeout after recovery.
The MAX6725AKASYD3+ uses open-drain RST output referenced to VCC1, supports watchdog disable via unconnected WDI (200nA detection current), and guarantees valid reset logic state as long as VCC1 or VCC2 remains ≥0.8V - enabling operation during deep brownout without external biasing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC1 Threshold | 4.625V (factory-trimmed, ±125mV tolerance) - sets primary supply brownout detection point for 5V rail monitoring |
| VCC2 Threshold | 3.075V (factory-trimmed, ±75mV tolerance) - sets secondary supply detection for 3.3V I/O rail supervision |
| Reset Timeout | 210ms (minimum) - ensures µP reset pulse exceeds boot ROM initialization time in telecom baseband processors |
| Supply Current | 14µA (typ at 3.6V) - enables battery-backed operation for >10 years in always-on network edge devices |
| Reset Validity | Down to VCC1 or VCC2 = 0.8V - maintains deterministic reset assertion during severe undervoltage events |
| MR Input | Active-low with 50kΩ internal pullup to VCC1 - eliminates external resistor for manual reset button interface |
| VCC Transient Immunity | Immune to <20µs negative glitches (at 100mV overdrive) - prevents spurious resets from switching noise on DC-DC outputs |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin SOT23 (3.0mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm, 0.65mm pitch). RoHS-compliant, lead-free, tape-and-reel.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RST | Active-low open-drain reset output - requires external pullup; asserts when VCC1/VCC2 drop below threshold or MR is pulled low |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference for all internal comparators and timers - must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual-reset input with 50kΩ internal pullup to VCC1 - momentary switch to GND initiates system reset |
| 4 | VCC2 | Secondary supply input (powers internal circuitry when >VCC1) - monitors 3.075V threshold for 3.3V rail |
| 5 | VCC1 | Primary supply input (powers device when >VCC2) - monitors 4.625V threshold for 5V rail |
| 6 | RSTIN | Adjustable reset comparator input (626mV internal reference) - connects to resistor divider for third-voltage monitoring down to 0.62V |
| 7 | WDI | Watchdog input - left unconnected to disable watchdog; 200nA detection current prevents false enable from floating nodes |
| 8 | PFO | Active-low power-fail output (open-drain) - asserts when PFI < 626mV; not present on MAX6725A variant per datasheet pin mapping |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent voltage monitoring | Simultaneous supervision of 5V (VCC1) and 3.3V (VCC2) rails with separate thresholds and hysteresis - eliminates need for two discrete supervisors |
| Factory-trimmed precision thresholds | VTH1 = 4.625V ±125mV, VTH2 = 3.075V ±75mV - removes calibration overhead in high-volume telecom equipment manufacturing |
| Guaranteed reset validity at low VCC | Operates correctly with VCC1 or VCC2 ≥ 0.8V - enables robust reset assertion during deep brownout without external level-shifting |
| Low-power supervision | 14µA typical ICC at 3.6V - extends battery life in portable network analyzers and remote IoT gateways |
| Manual-reset with integrated pullup | 50kΩ internal MR pullup to VCC1 - reduces BOM count by eliminating external resistor for pushbutton reset circuits |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-voltage supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6726AKASYD3+ | Push-pull RST output (vs. open-drain); identical thresholds, timeout, and pinout | Requires no external pullup; incompatible with bidirectional µP reset pins without series resistor | Select when driving CMOS inputs directly or when board space prohibits external pullup resistor |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single-supply (3.3V only), no VCC2 input; 200ms timeout; 2.5µA supply current | Lacks dual-rail monitoring; suitable only for single-rail systems with ultra-low quiescent current priority | Select only for cost-sensitive single-voltage applications where 3.3V rail supervision suffices |
Compared with MAX6726AKASYD3+, the MAX6725AKASYD3+ offers open-drain flexibility for shared reset buses but requires external pullup; versus TPS3808G33DBVR, it provides true dual-rail supervision essential for mixed-voltage telecom systems, albeit at higher quiescent current.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for VCC1 on the MAX6725AKASYD3+?
The MAX6725AKASYD3+ has a factory-trimmed VCC1 reset threshold of 4.625V (minimum 4.500V, maximum 4.750V) with ±0.5% hysteresis. This value is fixed by the "K" and "A" suffixes in the part number per Maxim's Reset Voltage Threshold Suffix Guide and applies across the full -40°C to +125°C operating range.
Does the MAX6725AKASYD3+ support triple-voltage monitoring?
Yes, the MAX6725AKASYD3+ supports triple-voltage monitoring via its RSTIN pin, which features a 626mV internal reference. By connecting an external resistor divider to RSTIN, designers can monitor a third supply down to 0.62V - confirmed in the datasheet's Adjustable Reset Comparator Input section and Figure 1.
What is the function of Pin 8 (PFO) on the MAX6725AKASYD3+?
Pin 8 (PFO) is not implemented on the MAX6725AKASYD3+. Per the Pin Description table (page 7), PFO is only present on MAX6728A/MAX6729A/MAX6797A variants. The MAX6725A pinout omits PFO - confirmed by absence in the MAX6725A column of the pin-function matrix and lack of PFO electrical characteristics in its parameter tables.
How is the watchdog timer disabled on the MAX6725AKASYD3+?
The watchdog timer on the MAX6725AKASYD3+ is disabled by leaving the WDI pin (Pin 7) unconnected. The device uses a 200nA internal current source to detect the unconnected state - verified in the Watchdog Input section (page 8) and Functional Description (page 11). Connecting WDI to any node sourcing >50nA may unintentionally enable the watchdog.
What package type and dimensions does the MAX6725AKASYD3+ use?
The MAX6725AKASYD3+ uses an 8-pin SOT23 package measuring 3.0mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm with 0.65mm lead pitch. This is confirmed in the Ordering Information table (page 1) and Absolute Maximum Ratings (page 2), where the 8-pin SOT23 variant is explicitly listed for MAX6725A devices.
