Product details
Overview
MAX6726AKAZWD3+T from Maxim Integrated is a dual-supply ultra-low-voltage microprocessor supervisory circuit with factory-trimmed reset thresholds (VCC1 = 1.62V, VCC2 = 1.53V), 280ms minimum reset timeout, push-pull active-low RST output, and integrated watchdog timer (35s startup / 1.12s normal mode). It monitors primary and secondary power rails in battery-powered embedded systems requiring guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 0.8V.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6726AKAZWD3+T datasheet, MAX6726AKAZWD3+T pinout, MAX6726AKAZWD3+T application, or MAX6726AKAZWD3+T equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual-voltage monitoring capability, AEC-Q100-qualified variants in the family, watchdog disable via floating WDI, and compatibility with 1.2V–5.5V supply ranges across automotive, industrial, and portable equipment designs.
Technical Context
The MAX6726AKAZWD3+T implements independent voltage comparators for VCC1 and VCC2 with ±1.5% threshold accuracy and 20ppm/°C tempco, ensuring stable reset assertion during thermal cycling. Its internal reset timeout timer guarantees ≥280ms assertion after all monitored supplies recover above threshold.
This device integrates a dual-mode watchdog timer with 35s minimum startup period (for boot sequence accommodation) and 1.12s minimum normal-mode timeout (for runtime fault detection), triggered by WDI edge transitions. Reset logic remains valid even when either VCC1 or VCC2 drops to 0.8V, enabling robust brownout handling in low-power systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC1 Reset Threshold | 1.62V (min), 1.665V (typ), 1.710V (max) - factory-trimmed for reliable 1.8V rail supervision with hysteresis |
| VCC2 Reset Threshold | 1.530V (min), 1.575V (typ), 1.620V (max) - optimized for 1.6V/1.5V secondary rails in multivoltage SoCs |
| Reset Timeout Period | 280ms (min), 420ms (typ), 560ms (max) - ensures sufficient hold time for processor initialization sequences |
| Supply Current | 10µA (typ) at 3.6V - enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered IoT endpoints |
| Watchdog Timeout | 35s (min) startup, 1.12s (min) normal mode - supports complex boot firmware while detecting runtime hangs |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial control environments |
| Reset Output Type | Push-pull active-low RST - eliminates need for external pullup resistor in most MCU interface configurations |
Pinout & Package
MAX6726AKAZWD3+T is housed in an 8-pin SOT23 package (package code K8SN+1, outline 21-0078), with 0.65mm pitch, 2.9mm × 1.6mm footprint, and thermal resistance θJA = 180°C/W on multilayer board.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RST/RST1 | Active-low push-pull reset output referenced to VCC1; asserts when VCC1/VCC2 fall below threshold or MR pulled low |
| 2 | GND | System ground reference for all internal comparators and logic |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual-reset input with internal 50kΩ pullup to VCC1; debounced by 1µs minimum pulse width requirement |
| 4 | VCC2 | Secondary supply input powering comparator for VCC2 threshold detection and RST2 output (if present) |
| 5 | VCC1 | Primary supply input powering core logic, VCC1 comparator, and RST output driver |
| 6 | WDI | Watchdog input; unconnected state disables watchdog; rising/falling edges reset internal timer |
| 7 | PFO | Active-low power-fail output (push-pull), asserted when PFI < 626.5mV; deasserts immediately without timeout |
| 8 | PFI | Power-fail monitor input with 626.5mV internal reference; used to detect auxiliary supply droop or battery depletion |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent voltage monitoring | Simultaneous supervision of VCC1 (1.62V threshold) and VCC2 (1.53V threshold) with separate comparators and hysteresis |
| Guaranteed reset validity down to 0.8V | Ensures deterministic reset behavior during deep brownout conditions common in Li-ion battery discharge profiles |
| Configurable watchdog timer | Long 35s startup window accommodates full system boot; short 1.12s runtime timeout detects software lockups |
| Low quiescent current | 10µA typical at 3.6V enables >10-year shelf life in always-on sensor nodes powered by CR2032 cells |
| Power-fail interrupt generation | PFI/PFO pair provides early warning of supply collapse, allowing controlled data save and graceful shutdown before reset |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-supply supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6725AKAZD3+T | Same pinout and package; open-drain RST output instead of push-pull; identical reset thresholds and timeout | Requires external pullup resistor; better suited for bidirectional reset buses or level-shifting interfaces | Select when interfacing to μPs with bidirectional reset pins or when driving multiple loads sharing one reset line |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single-supply (3.3V only); no VCC2 monitoring; 200ms timeout; lower 4.5µA ICC | Lacks dual-rail capability; no PFI/PFO or WDI functionality; not rated for 125°C operation | Choose for cost-sensitive, single-rail applications where extended temperature range and auxiliary monitoring are unnecessary |

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for VCC1 on MAX6726AKAZWD3+T?
The MAX6726AKAZWD3+T has a factory-trimmed VCC1 reset threshold of 1.62V (min), 1.665V (typ), and 1.710V (max), corresponding to the 'W' suffix in the ordering guide. This threshold is optimized for reliable supervision of 1.8V logic rails with margin against noise and drift across -40°C to +125°C.
Does MAX6726AKAZWD3+T support monitoring a third voltage rail?
No, MAX6726AKAZWD3+T is a dual-supply supervisor monitoring only VCC1 and VCC2. For triple-voltage monitoring, select variants like MAX6723AKAZD3+T or MAX6727AKAZD3+T that include the RSTIN input. The MAX6726AKAZWD3+T does not incorporate RSTIN or associated comparator circuitry.
How is the watchdog timer disabled on MAX6726AKAZWD3+T?
The watchdog timer on MAX6726AKAZWD3+T is disabled by leaving the WDI pin unconnected. An internal 200nA current source detects the floating state and inhibits watchdog operation. Do not connect WDI to any node sourcing >50nA, as this may falsely enable the timer.
What is the function of the PFI and PFO pins on MAX6726AKAZWD3+T?
On MAX6726AKAZWD3+T, PFI serves as a high-impedance input for monitoring an auxiliary supply using an external resistor divider referenced to a 626.5mV internal comparator threshold. PFO is the corresponding active-low push-pull output that asserts immediately when PFI falls below threshold-without reset timeout-enabling early power-fail interrupts.
Is MAX6726AKAZWD3+T qualified for automotive applications?
While MAX6726AKAZWD3+T itself is not AEC-Q100 certified, it belongs to the MAX6715A–MAX6729A family where specific variants (e.g., MAX6719AUTTWD1/V+T) carry AEC-Q100 qualification. The MAX6726AKAZWD3+T shares identical architecture, process, and temperature rating (-40°C to +125°C), making it suitable for non-safety-critical automotive subsystems pending customer qualification.
