Product details
Overview
MAX6725KAYDD3+ from Maxim Integrated is a triple-voltage microprocessor supervisory circuit in an 8-pin SOT23 package, monitoring VCC1 (primary), VCC2 (secondary), and RSTIN (auxiliary) supply rails with factory-trimmed thresholds of 4.625V (VTH1), 3.075V (VTH2), and 626.5mV reference for RSTIN. It provides active-low open-drain RST and RST2 outputs, manual reset input (MR), watchdog timer (WDI), and power-fail input/output (PFI/PFO), ensuring reliable system reset during brownout, startup, or software hang in embedded telecom and industrial controllers.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6725KAYDD3+ datasheet, MAX6725KAYDD3+ pinout, MAX6725KAYDD3+ application, or MAX6725KAYDD3+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its triple-supply monitoring capability, 210ms (min) reset timeout, guaranteed reset validity down to VCC1/VCC2 = 0.8V, low 14µA typical supply current at 3.6V, and support for push-pull or open-drain output configurations across 8-pin SOT23 footprint.
Technical Context
The MAX6725KAYDD3+ integrates dual independent voltage comparators for VCC1 and VCC2 plus a high-impedance RSTIN comparator referenced to a 626.5mV internal bandgap, enabling precise third-rail monitoring via external resistor divider. Its reset logic asserts RST/RST2 low when any monitored rail falls below threshold and holds for a minimum 210ms timeout after all rails recover.
It features a dual-mode watchdog timer: 35s (min) startup period after reset to accommodate boot sequences, followed by 1.12s (min) normal timeout on WDI transitions; MR input includes 50kΩ internal pullup and 200ns propagation delay; PFI/PFO supports power-fail detection with 2µs propagation and 3mV hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC1 Reset Threshold | 4.625V (typ), factory-trimmed - ensures reliable reset assertion for 5V/4.8V primary rails before critical undervoltage |
| VCC2 Reset Threshold | 3.075V (typ), factory-trimmed - matches common 3.3V secondary supply with 2.25% margin below nominal |
| RSTIN Reference Voltage | 626.5mV (typ) - enables accurate monitoring of auxiliary rails ≥0.62V using external resistor divider |
| Reset Timeout Period | 210ms (min) - guarantees sufficient hold time for CPU initialization and peripheral stabilization |
| Supply Current | 14µA (typ) at 3.6V - minimizes quiescent load in battery-backed or energy-sensitive systems |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and telecom equipment operating in uncontrolled environments |
| Reset Output Type | Open-drain RST and RST2 - allows flexible level-shifting and wired-OR reset bus implementation |
Pinout & Package
MAX6725KAYDD3+ uses an 8-pin SOT23-8 package (3.0mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm body height), optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts while supporting triple-supply supervision and multiple I/O functions.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RST | Active-low open-drain reset output - asserted when VCC1, VCC2, or RSTIN drops below threshold; requires external pullup |
| 2 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference - shared return path for all internal comparators and logic |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input - internally pulled up to VCC1 (50kΩ); initiates reset on falling edge |
| 4 | PFO | Active-low open-drain power-fail output - asserted when PFI < 626.5mV; deasserts immediately without timeout |
| 5 | VCC2 | Secondary supply input - powers internal circuitry when > VCC1 and sets VTH2 reference point |
| 6 | VCC1 | Primary supply input - powers device when > VCC2 and sets VTH1 reference point |
| 7 | PFI | Power-fail monitor input - high-impedance node for resistor-divider-based undervoltage detection |
| 8 | RST2 | Second active-low open-drain reset output - identical timing/function to RST but referenced to VCC2 |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple-supply monitoring | Simultaneous supervision of VCC1 (1.8–5.0V), VCC2 (0.9–3.3V), and RSTIN (down to 0.62V) with independent thresholds |
| Dual-mode watchdog timer | 35s (min) startup window + 1.12s (min) normal timeout - prevents false resets during boot while ensuring rapid fault response in runtime |
| Guaranteed reset validity | Functional reset assertion and output state integrity maintained even when VCC1 or VCC2 drops to 0.8V |
| Low-power operation | 14µA typical ICC at 3.6V - extends battery life in portable equipment and reduces thermal load in dense designs |
| Noise-immune reset logic | Immunity to short VCC transients (<20µs at 100mV overdrive) - avoids spurious resets from switching noise or ESD |
Applications
| Telecom Line Cards | Industrial PLC Controllers |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Monitoring 48V DC-DC derived 5V, 3.3V, and 1.8V rails in carrier-grade line cards subject to voltage sags during hot-swap events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Triple-rail supervisor asserting coordinated reset to FPGA, DSP, and PHY ICs within 210ms timeout window. Use Value: Prevents partial configuration and metastability by holding all logic in reset until all supplies stabilize post-sag. |
Use Scenario: Supervising main 24V, isolated 5V logic, and 3.3V MCU core supplies in programmable logic controllers exposed to factory EMI and load transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-reset output (RST + RST2) drives separate reset domains for safety-critical I/O and non-critical comms subsystems. Use Value: Enables independent recovery sequencing - I/O modules reset first, then communication stack reinitializes after stable 3.3V. |
| Network Attached Storage (NAS) | Medical Diagnostic Equipment |
Use Scenario: Ensuring clean boot of ARM-based SoC, DDR memory, and SATA controller in NAS enclosures with multi-rail SMPS. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: RSTIN monitors auxiliary 1.2V DDR termination supply; MR supports front-panel reset button; WDI tracks SoC activity. Use Value: Detects DDR rail collapse before data corruption occurs and triggers watchdog reset if firmware hangs during disk enumeration. |
Use Scenario: Supervising isolated 5V analog front-end, 3.3V digital control, and 1.8V ADC reference supplies in portable ultrasound units. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: PFI monitors battery voltage decay; PFO triggers early shutdown warning; RST2 resets analog subsystem independently. Use Value: Provides deterministic power-fail response with <2µs latency, allowing safe ADC data flush and EEPROM save before brownout. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar triple-voltage supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6726KA+T | Same 8-pin SOT23 package and triple-monitor architecture, but features push-pull RST and RST2 outputs instead of open-drain | Requires no external pullups; better suited for direct drive of CMOS inputs but lacks wired-OR capability | Select MAX6726KA+T when interfacing to single-load CMOS reset pins without bus sharing |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Dual-supply monitor only (VDD1/VDD2), no RSTIN or PFI; fixed 3.3V/1.8V thresholds; 200ms timeout; SOT23-6 package | Lacks auxiliary rail monitoring and power-fail functionality; smaller footprint but reduced feature set | Select TPS3808G33DBVR for cost-sensitive dual-rail applications where RSTIN/PFI are unused |
Compared with MAX6725KAYDD3+, MAX6726KA+T offers push-pull outputs for simpler interface but sacrifices open-drain flexibility, while TPS3808G33DBVR reduces size and cost at the expense of triple-supply capability and power-fail monitoring - making MAX6725KAYDD3+ optimal for complex, reliability-critical multi-rail systems.

FAQ
What are the factory-trimmed reset thresholds for MAX6725KAYDD3+?
The MAX6725KAYDD3+ has factory-trimmed VCC1 reset threshold of 4.625V (typ) and VCC2 threshold of 3.075V (typ), per the 'YD' suffix in its part number. Its RSTIN input references a 626.5mV internal bandgap, enabling precise monitoring of auxiliary supplies via external resistor divider. These values are production-tested and guaranteed across -40°C to +85°C.
Does MAX6725KAYDD3+ support both open-drain and push-pull reset outputs?
MAX6725KAYDD3+ provides two active-low open-drain reset outputs: RST (pin 1) and RST2 (pin 8). Neither output is push-pull - both require external pullup resistors. This configuration enables wired-OR reset buses and level translation across different voltage domains, unlike push-pull variants such as MAX6726KA+T.
How does the watchdog timer operate in MAX6725KAYDD3+?
The MAX6725KAYDD3+ watchdog timer operates in dual mode: a 35s (min) startup period after any reset event, followed by a 1.12s (min) normal timeout. The timer clears on any WDI edge transition. This architecture accommodates lengthy processor boot sequences while ensuring rapid detection of software hangs during steady-state operation - a key reliability feature of the MAX6725KAYDD3+.
Can MAX6725KAYDD3+ monitor negative supply voltages?
Yes, MAX6725KAYDD3+ can monitor negative supplies using its PFI input with an appropriate resistor divider, as shown in Figure 3b of the datasheet. When the negative rail drops, PFO goes high - providing an interrupt or reset trigger. Accuracy depends on PFI threshold tolerance (±15mV), resistor matching, and VCC stability, but the MAX6725KAYDD3+'s 626.5mV reference enables robust implementation.
What is the minimum valid supply voltage for guaranteed reset operation of MAX6725KAYDD3+?
MAX6725KAYDD3+ guarantees correct reset output logic state as long as either VCC1 or VCC2 remains above 0.8V. Below this, reset behavior is not specified. This 0.8V guarantee enables reliable brownout detection in systems where one rail collapses before others - a critical design advantage confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables for MAX6725KAYDD3+.
