Product details
Overview
MAX6725KAZGD3+ from Maxim Integrated is a triple-voltage microprocessor supervisory circuit in an 8-pin SOT23 package, monitoring VCC1 (1.8V–5.0V), VCC2 (0.9V–3.3V), and an externally adjustable RSTIN input (down to 0.626V). It provides dual active-low reset outputs (RST1 open-drain, RST2 push-pull), manual reset input, watchdog timer with 35s startup/1.12s normal timeout, and guaranteed reset validity down to VCC1 or VCC2 = 0.8V. Used in multivoltage telecom and industrial systems for reliable power sequencing and fault detection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6725KAZGD3+ datasheet, MAX6725KAZGD3+ pinout, MAX6725KAZGD3+ application, or MAX6725KAZGD3+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-reset-output architecture, factory-trimmed dual-threshold monitoring, 210ms (min) reset timeout, 14µA typical supply current at 3.6V, and support for auxiliary voltage supervision via RSTIN with 626mV internal reference.
Technical Context
The MAX6725KAZGD3+ integrates three independent voltage monitors: primary (VCC1), secondary (VCC2), and auxiliary (RSTIN), each with dedicated comparators and hysteresis. Its dual reset outputs are functionally isolated-RST1 referenced to VCC1 (open-drain), RST2 referenced to VCC2 (push-pull)-enabling independent reset control of core and I/O domains.
It implements a dual-mode watchdog: a 35s minimum initial timeout after any reset event (power-up, MR, or watchdog-triggered), followed by a 1.12s minimum normal timeout upon first WDI transition. Reset assertion is latched for a minimum 210ms timeout period, with immunity to sub-20µs VCC transients when overdrive exceeds 100mV.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC1 Threshold | 2.250V (typ), factory-trimmed Z-suffix; ensures reliable reset assertion during 2.5V core rail brownout |
| VCC2 Threshold | 2.313V (typ), factory-trimmed Z-suffix; matches common 2.5V I/O supply monitoring |
| RSTIN Threshold | 626.5mV (typ), internal reference; enables precise third-rail monitoring via resistor divider |
| Reset Timeout | 210ms (min), D3-suffix; provides sufficient hold time for slow-starting DC/DC converters |
| Supply Current | 14µA (typ) at 3.6V; minimizes quiescent load on battery-backed or low-power systems |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C; qualified for industrial-grade embedded equipment deployment |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.12s (min) normal mode; detects firmware hangs without excessive latency |
Pinout & Package
MAX6725KAZGD3+ is housed in an 8-pin SOT23 package (3.0mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm), optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts in portable and telecom equipment.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RST1 | Active-low open-drain reset output referenced to VCC1; requires external pullup for µP reset signaling |
| 2 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input with 50kΩ internal pullup to VCC1; debounced by 1µs pulse width requirement |
| 4 | VCC2 | Secondary supply input (0.9V–3.3V); powers internal VCC2 monitor and references RST2 output |
| 5 | RSTIN/PFI | Shared pin: selectable as adjustable reset input (RSTIN) or power-fail input (PFI); 626.5mV internal reference |
| 6 | WDI | Watchdog input; resets internal timer on rising/falling edge; immune to noise with 100ns glitch rejection |
| 7 | VCC1 | Primary supply input (1.8V–5.0V); powers device core and references RST1 output |
| 8 | RST2 | Active-low push-pull reset output referenced to VCC2; drives loads directly without pullup resistor |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent reset outputs | RST1 (open-drain, VCC1-referenced) and RST2 (push-pull, VCC2-referenced) enable simultaneous but isolated reset control of processor core and peripheral domains |
| Triple-voltage monitoring | Monitors VCC1, VCC2, and RSTIN with factory-trimmed thresholds and 20ppm/°C tempco for stable operation across temperature |
| Configurable watchdog timer | 35s startup timeout allows full system boot before watchdog enforcement; 1.12s normal timeout ensures rapid hang detection during runtime |
| Guaranteed reset validity to 0.8V | Ensures clean reset assertion even during deep brownout conditions where VCC1 or VCC2 drops to 0.8V |
| Low-power operation | 14µA typical ICC at 3.6V enables use in always-on, battery-powered applications without significant standby drain |
Applications
| Telecom Power Sequencing | Industrial PLC I/O Monitoring |
|---|---|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MAX6725KAZGD3+ uses RSTIN to monitor auxiliary 24V rail via resistor divider while VCC1/VCC2 track internal logic supplies. Use Value: Enables early warning of main power degradation before critical logic rails collapse, allowing graceful shutdown via PFO-triggered interrupt. |
| Portable Medical Device Boot | Battery-Powered IoT Node |
Use Scenario: Ensuring reliable boot of ARM Cortex-M4 MCU and sensor hub in a handheld ultrasound probe powered by Li-ion battery.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6726KAZGD3+ | Single push-pull RST output (no RST1 open-drain); identical VCC1/VCC2/RSTIN thresholds and timeout | Lacks independent open-drain reset for legacy µP interfaces requiring external pullup | Select MAX6726KAZGD3+ only if system uses only one reset domain and push-pull drive suffices |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Dual-supply monitor only (no RSTIN); fixed 3.3V VDD threshold; 200ms timeout; 2.5µA ICC | No auxiliary voltage monitoring or watchdog; lower supply current but reduced feature set | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR for cost-sensitive, single-rail applications where RSTIN and WDI are unnecessary |
Compared with MAX6726KAZGD3+, MAX6725KAZGD3+ adds RST1 open-drain output for flexible µP interface compatibility; versus TPS3808G33DBVR, it supports triple-rail monitoring and watchdog functionality at higher ICC but broader system coverage.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for VCC1 on the MAX6725KAZGD3+?
The MAX6725KAZGD3+ has a factory-trimmed VCC1 reset threshold of 2.250V (typical), with min/max values of 2.188V and 2.313V across temperature and process variation. This Z-suffix threshold is specified in the Reset Voltage Threshold Suffix Guide and applies under standard operating conditions (TA = -40°C to +85°C, VCC1 = 0.8V to 5.5V).
Does the MAX6725KAZGD3+ support both open-drain and push-pull reset outputs simultaneously?
Yes, the MAX6725KAZGD3+ provides two independent reset outputs: Pin 1 (RST1) is open-drain referenced to VCC1, and Pin 8 (RST2) is push-pull referenced to VCC2. This dual-output architecture allows concurrent reset signaling to different voltage domains without external level-shifting components.
How does the watchdog timer operate on the MAX6725KAZGD3+?
The MAX6725KAZGD3+ implements a dual-mode watchdog: after any reset event, it enters a 35s minimum startup timeout to allow full system initialization; upon first valid WDI edge, it switches to a 1.12s minimum normal timeout. The timer resets on any rising or falling edge at WDI (Pin 6), and asserts RST1/RST2 if no transition occurs within the active timeout window.
Can the RSTIN pin on the MAX6725KAZGD3+ be used for power-fail detection?
No - the MAX6725KAZGD3+ does not support RSTIN as a power-fail input. Per the Selector Guide and Pin Description, MAX6725 includes RSTIN (not PFI), and lacks the PFO output required for power-fail signaling. For power-fail capability, select MAX6728 or MAX6729 instead.
What is the recommended external pullup resistor value for the RST1 output of the MAX6725KAZGD3+?
A 10kΩ to 100kΩ pullup resistor to VCC1 is recommended for the RST1 (Pin 1) open-drain output of the MAX6725KAZGD3+. Typical design uses 47kΩ to balance rise time (≤1µs with 10pF load) and current draw (<100µA at 3.3V), while maintaining noise immunity in industrial environments.
