Product details
Overview
MAX6725AKAZGD3+T from Maxim Integrated is a dual-supply ultra-low-voltage microprocessor supervisory circuit monitoring VCC1 (primary) and VCC2 (secondary) with factory-trimmed reset thresholds, 140ms minimum reset timeout, manual-reset input (MR), and push-pull active-low RST output. It guarantees valid reset logic down to VCC1 or VCC2 = 0.8V and operates across –40°C to +125°C for industrial and automotive power-rail monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6725AKAZGD3+T datasheet, MAX6725AKAZGD3+T pinout, MAX6725AKAZGD3+T application, or MAX6725AKAZGD3+T equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, exact pin functions, real-world multivoltage system use cases, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented functional and application differences.
Technical Context
The MAX6725AKAZGD3+T integrates dual independent voltage comparators with hysteresis (0.5% of threshold), a 140ms reset timeout timer, and a manual-reset input with internal 50kΩ pullup to VCC1. Its RST output is push-pull active-low, referenced to VCC1, and asserts when either VCC1 drops below 4.500V (min) or VCC2 falls below 3.000V (min).
It supports no external watchdog or power-fail features - unlike variants such as MAX6729A - and lacks RSTIN/PFI/WDI pins. The device uses only VCC1, VCC2, GND, MR, and RST pins in its 5-pin SOT23-5 package, with guaranteed operation at supply voltages as low as 0.8V on either rail.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC1 Reset Threshold | 4.500V (min) to 4.750V (max); factory-trimmed for primary supply monitoring at nominal 4.625V |
| VCC2 Reset Threshold | 3.000V (min) to 3.150V (max); factory-trimmed for secondary supply monitoring at nominal 3.075V |
| Reset Timeout Period | 140ms (min); ensures μP remains held in reset long enough for full power stabilization after brownout recovery |
| Supply Current | 15µA (typ) at 3.6V; enables battery-backed systems to maintain supervision with negligible quiescent load |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C; qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial control environments |
| Reset Valid Down To | VCC1 or VCC2 ≥ 0.8V; guarantees deterministic reset state during deep brownout conditions |
| Output Type | Push-pull active-low RST; eliminates need for external pullup and drives directly into CMOS reset inputs |
Pinout & Package
MAX6725AKAZGD3+T is housed in a 5-pin SOT23-5 package (package code U5+1, outline 21-0057), with thermal resistance θJA = 324.3°C/W (four-layer board) and θJC = 82°C/W.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RST | Active-low push-pull reset output referenced to VCC1; asserts low when VCC1 < 4.500V or VCC2 < 3.000V and holds for 140ms min after recovery |
| 2 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference for all internal comparators and timing circuits |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual-reset input with internal 50kΩ pullup to VCC1; forces reset when pulled low and sustains it for full 140ms timeout |
| 4 | VCC2 | Secondary supply input powering comparator for VCC2 threshold detection; also used as bias source for internal references |
| 5 | VCC1 | Primary supply input powering core logic, RST driver, and VCC1 threshold comparator; defines VOH level for RST output |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent voltage monitoring | Simultaneously supervises VCC1 (1.8V–5.0V) and VCC2 (0.9V–3.3V) with separate factory-trimmed thresholds and hysteresis |
| Guaranteed reset validity at low VCC | Outputs remain logically valid even when VCC1 or VCC2 drops to 0.8V - critical for graceful brownout handling |
| Low quiescent current | 15µA typical supply current at 3.6V enables multi-year operation in energy-constrained applications |
| Push-pull RST output | Eliminates external pullup resistor requirement and ensures fast, rail-to-rail reset assertion without external components |
| Manual-reset integration | On-chip 50kΩ pullup to VCC1 allows direct connection of momentary switch to GND - no external biasing needed |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Power Sequencing | Automotive ADAS Camera Module |

| Telecom Line Card Hot-Swap | Medical Infusion Pump Controller |
|
Use Scenario: Ensuring safe insertion/removal of line cards in carrier-grade switches by validating precharge and post-insertion rail stability before enabling ASICs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-supply supervisor verifying 3.3V management rail and 1.8V core rail meet thresholds before releasing reset to FPGA and PHY controllers. Use Value: Eliminates risk of metastability or bus contention during hot-swap by enforcing strict dual-rail readiness before system enable. |
Use Scenario: Monitoring battery-backed 3.3V MCU supply and 5V motor driver rail in Class II medical infusion pump requiring fail-safe power sequencing. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Safety-critical supervisor holding reset during brownout on either rail and sustaining reset for 140ms to allow controlled shutdown sequence.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-supply supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6723AKAZGD3+T | Same 5-pin SOT23-5 package and 140ms timeout, but VCC1 threshold = 2.850V (min), VCC2 = 2.850V (min); no MR pin | Designed for lower-voltage systems (e.g., 3.3V/2.5V dual-rail); lacks manual-reset capability | Select when MR is unnecessary and primary supply is ≤3.0V; not suitable for 4.5V+ VCC1 monitoring |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3-pin SOT23-6 package; single-supply (VDD only); fixed 3.3V threshold; 200ms timeout; open-drain RST | Monitors only one rail; requires external pullup; no VCC2 input or MR function | Choose for cost-sensitive single-rail designs where dual monitoring is unnecessary and layout space permits 6-pin footprint |
Compared with MAX6725AKAZGD3+T, MAX6723AKAZGD3+T serves lower-voltage dual-rail systems without manual reset, while TPS3808G33DBVR reduces component count for single-rail applications but sacrifices dual-supply supervision and push-pull drive capability.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for VCC1 on MAX6725AKAZGD3+T?
The MAX6725AKAZGD3+T has a factory-trimmed VCC1 reset threshold of 4.500V (minimum), 4.625V (typical), and 4.750V (maximum) - denoted by the 'K' suffix in the ordering code. This ensures reliable detection of brownout on 5V nominal rails before system malfunction occurs.
Does MAX6725AKAZGD3+T support monitoring a third voltage rail?
No, MAX6725AKAZGD3+T does not support third-rail monitoring. It is a dual-supply supervisor with dedicated VCC1 and VCC2 inputs only. Variants like MAX6723A or MAX6727A include RSTIN for adjustable auxiliary voltage monitoring, but MAX6725AKAZGD3+T omits that pin entirely.
What is the function of the MR pin on MAX6725AKAZGD3+T?
The MR pin on MAX6725AKAZGD3+T is an active-low manual-reset input with an internal 50kΩ pullup to VCC1. Pulling MR low forces the RST output low for the full 140ms timeout period, then releases it - enabling hardware-initiated resets for testing, recovery, or field service without cycling power.
Is MAX6725AKAZGD3+T compatible with push-pull or open-drain microprocessor reset inputs?
MAX6725AKAZGD3+T provides a push-pull active-low RST output, making it directly compatible with CMOS reset inputs requiring driven high/low states. It is not open-drain, so no external pullup is needed - unlike open-drain supervisors which require careful impedance matching to avoid timing violations.
What package type and footprint does MAX6725AKAZGD3+T use?
MAX6725AKAZGD3+T uses a 5-pin SOT23-5 package (outline 21-0057, land pattern 90-0174). Its pinout is standardized: Pin 1 = RST, Pin 2 = GND, Pin 3 = MR, Pin 4 = VCC2, Pin 5 = VCC1 - matching JEDEC MO-178AC and compatible with automated SMT placement.
