Product details
Overview
MAX6725AKATGD3+ from Maxim Integrated is a dual-voltage microprocessor supervisory IC in an 8-pin SOT23 package, monitoring VCC1 (1.8V–5.0V) and VCC2 (0.9V–3.3V) with factory-trimmed thresholds, featuring active-low push-pull RST/RST1 outputs, manual-reset input (MR), watchdog timer (WDI), and 280ms minimum reset timeout. It ensures reliable system reset during brownouts in telecom power supplies and industrial controllers.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6725AKATGD3+ datasheet, MAX6725AKATGD3+ pinout, MAX6725AKATGD3+ application, or MAX6725AKATGD3+ equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-supply threshold accuracy (±1.5% over -40°C to +125°C), guaranteed reset validity down to VCC1/VCC2 = 0.8V, low 14µA typical supply current at 3.6V, and integrated watchdog with 35s startup / 1.12s normal timeout.
Technical Context
The MAX6725AKATGD3+ implements independent voltage comparators for VCC1 and VCC2, each with 0.5% hysteresis referenced to their respective thresholds, and asserts reset when either supply falls below its trimmed level. Its internal reset timeout timer (280ms min) restarts on any threshold violation before expiration.
This device integrates a dual-mode watchdog timer: after each reset event, it enforces a 35s minimum startup period before entering 1.12s minimum normal-mode timeout; WDI transitions clear the timer, while sustained high/low states trigger reset assertion. MR input features 50kΩ internal pullup and 1µs minimum pulse width support.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC1 Threshold | 2.925V (typ), factory-trimmed 'S' suffix - sets primary supply reset point for 3.0V systems with ±1.5% tolerance over temperature |
| VCC2 Threshold | 2.925V (typ), factory-trimmed 'S' suffix - matches secondary supply (e.g., I/O rail) with same precision as VCC1 |
| Reset Timeout | 280ms (min), 'D3' suffix - ensures sufficient hold time for complex processor initialization sequences |
| Supply Current | 14µA (typ) at 3.6V - enables battery-backed operation in portable equipment without significant drain |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial control environments |
| Reset Validity | Down to VCC1 or VCC2 = 0.8V - guarantees correct logic state during deep brownout conditions |
| WDI Timeout | 35s startup / 1.12s normal mode - accommodates lengthy boot firmware while enabling rapid fault detection during runtime |
Pinout & Package
MAX6725AKATGD3+ uses an 8-pin SOT23 package (JEDEC MO-203AA), 2.9mm × 1.6mm footprint, 1.1mm max height, with exposed pad for thermal performance. Pin 1 marked by dot; pins numbered counterclockwise.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RST/RST1 | Active-low push-pull reset output referenced to VCC1; asserts when VCC1/VCC2 drop below threshold, MR pulled low, or WDI timeout occurs |
| 2 | GND | System ground reference for all internal comparators and logic; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual-reset input with 50kΩ internal pullup to VCC1; 1µs minimum pulse width ensures robust noise immunity |
| 4 | VCC2 | Secondary supply input (0.9V–3.3V); powers internal circuitry when above VCC1 and serves as reference for VCC2 comparator |
| 5 | VCC1 | Primary supply input (1.8V–5.0V); powers device when above VCC2 and serves as reference for VCC1 comparator and RST output |
| 6 | WDI | Watchdog input; rising/falling edges reset internal timer; unconnected state disables watchdog via 200nA detector current |
| 7 | PFO | Active-low power-fail output (push-pull), referenced to VCC1; asserts when PFI < 626.5mV, deasserts immediately without timeout |
| 8 | PFI | Power-fail input; high-impedance comparator noninverting input with 3mV hysteresis; used to monitor auxiliary supplies via resistor divider |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent voltage monitoring | Simultaneous VCC1 and VCC2 supervision with separate thresholds avoids single-point failure in multirail systems |
| Guaranteed reset validity to 0.8V | Ensures deterministic reset behavior during severe brownouts where other supervisors may glitch or release prematurely |
| Configurable watchdog modes | 35s startup window prevents false timeout during boot; 1.12s runtime timeout detects software hangs within milliseconds |
| Integrated power-fail comparator | PFI/PFO pair enables early warning of supply degradation (e.g., battery depletion) without external components |
| Low 14µA supply current | Reduces standby power in always-on subsystems such as IoT edge nodes and remote sensors |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-supply supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6726AKATGD3+ | Identical pinout, package, and electrical specs; differs only in reset output polarity (RST active-high vs. MAX6725AKATGD3+ active-low) | Required when host µP demands active-high reset assertion instead of active-low | Select MAX6726AKATGD3+ only when µP reset pin is active-high; otherwise MAX6725AKATGD3+ is direct functional match |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single-supply (3.3V only), no VCC2 input; 200ms timeout; higher 25µA supply current; no integrated watchdog | Limited to single-rail systems; lacks triple-monitoring capability and WDI functionality of MAX6725AKATGD3+ | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR only for cost-sensitive, single-supply designs where watchdog and auxiliary monitoring are unnecessary |
Compared with MAX6726AKATGD3+, MAX6725AKATGD3+ provides native active-low reset compatible with most µPs, while TPS3808G33DBVR sacrifices dual-supply flexibility and watchdog for lower unit cost in simpler applications.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for MAX6725AKATGD3+?
The MAX6725AKATGD3+ has factory-trimmed 'S' suffix thresholds: VCC1 reset threshold is 2.925V (typ), VCC2 reset threshold is also 2.925V (typ), both with ±1.5% tolerance over -40°C to +125°C. These values are specified in the Electrical Characteristics table of the MAX6725AKATGD3+ datasheet under VTH1 and VTH2 parameters.
Does MAX6725AKATGD3+ support monitoring a third voltage rail?
No, MAX6725AKATGD3+ does not support third-rail monitoring. It is a dual-supply supervisor (VCC1 and VCC2 only). The RSTIN and PFI inputs are not present on this variant - those features appear only on MAX6723A–MAX6727A and MAX6728A–MAX6729A variants per the Selector Guide and Pin Description tables.
What is the function of the WDI pin on MAX6725AKATGD3+?
The WDI (Watchdog Input) pin on MAX6725AKATGD3+ monitors microprocessor activity: if WDI remains static (high or low) longer than the watchdog timeout period, it triggers a system reset. After power-up or reset, MAX6725AKATGD3+ enters a 35s startup mode, then switches to 1.12s normal-mode timeout - both values are fixed for this part number.
Can MAX6725AKATGD3+ operate with VCC1 = 1.8V and VCC2 = 1.2V simultaneously?
Yes, MAX6725AKATGD3+ supports VCC1 as low as 1.8V and VCC2 as low as 0.9V, so 1.8V/1.2V dual-rail operation is fully supported. Its guaranteed reset validity down to VCC1 or VCC2 = 0.8V ensures reliable supervision even during deep brownout conditions on either rail.
Is MAX6725AKATGD3+ RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, MAX6725AKATGD3+ is RoHS-compliant and lead-free, indicated by the '+' suffix in the part number per Maxim's ordering conventions. It meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 and is qualified for reflow soldering per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 standards.
