Product details
Overview
MAX6726KASYD3+ from Maxim Integrated is a triple-voltage microprocessor supervisory circuit in an 8-pin SOT23 package, monitoring VCC1 (4.625V threshold), VCC2 (3.075V threshold), and an externally adjustable RSTIN input (626.5mV reference). It provides push-pull active-high RST and active-low RST outputs, manual reset input, watchdog timer with 35s startup/1.12s normal timeout, and operates from -40°C to +85°C. It ensures reliable system reset in multivoltage embedded power management.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6726KASYD3+ datasheet, MAX6726KASYD3+ pinout, MAX6726KASYD3+ application, or MAX6726KASYD3+ equivalent, key selection criteria include dual reset output polarity, factory-trimmed dual-threshold supervision, RSTIN-adjustable third-voltage monitoring down to 0.62V, guaranteed reset validity at VCC ≥ 0.8V, and integrated watchdog with long startup period for complex boot sequences.
Technical Context
The MAX6726KASYD3+ implements a dual-comparator architecture with independent VCC1 and VCC2 voltage monitors, plus a high-impedance RSTIN input referenced to a 626.5mV internal bandgap. Its reset logic asserts both RST (active-high) and RST (active-low) outputs simultaneously upon any threshold violation, with a fixed 210ms minimum timeout period (D3 suffix).
It integrates a dual-mode watchdog timer: 35s minimum initial timeout after power-up/manual reset, transitioning to 1.12s minimum normal timeout after first WDI edge detection. The MR input features a 50kΩ internal pullup to VCC1 and 200ns propagation delay, while RSTIN and PFI inputs exhibit ≤25nA leakage and 3mV hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC1 Threshold | 4.625V (factory-trimmed, ±125mV tolerance); sets primary supply brownout detection point for 5V rail systems |
| VCC2 Threshold | 3.075V (factory-trimmed, ±75mV tolerance); enables precise monitoring of 3.3V auxiliary rails |
| RSTIN Reference | 626.5mV (internal bandgap); allows external resistor-divider to monitor third supply as low as 0.62V |
| Reset Timeout | 210ms (minimum); ensures µP completes initialization before releasing reset in cold-start scenarios |
| Supply Current | 14µA typical at 3.6V; enables battery-backed operation in portable equipment with minimal quiescent drain |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C; supports industrial and telecom equipment deployed in uncontrolled environments |
| Watchdog Period | 35s startup / 1.12s normal mode; accommodates lengthy firmware boot sequences then enforces tight runtime supervision |
Pinout & Package
MAX6726KASYD3+ uses an 8-pin SOT23-8 package (2.0mm × 2.1mm footprint, 1.1mm height) with gull-wing leads, optimized for high-density PCB layouts in space-constrained applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RST (active-high) | Push-pull reset output referenced to VCC1; drives high during valid operation, low only during reset assertion |
| 2 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference for all internal comparators and timing circuits |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input with 50kΩ internal pullup to VCC1; initiates reset on falling edge |
| 4 | PFO | Active-low power-fail output (push-pull); asserts without timeout when PFI falls below 626.5mV |
| 5 | VCC2 | Secondary supply input (0.9V–3.3V range); powers internal VCC2 comparator and sets RST2 reference |
| 6 | VCC1 | Primary supply input (1.8V–5.0V range); powers core logic and sets RST/RST reference |
| 7 | RSTIN/PFI | Shared pin: selectable as adjustable reset monitor (RSTIN) or power-fail input (PFI); high-impedance (≤25nA) |
| 8 | RST (active-low) | Push-pull reset output referenced to VCC1; complements RST for bidirectional µP interface support |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual reset output polarity | Simultaneous active-high and active-low RST signals eliminate need for external inverters in bidirectional µP reset interfaces |
| Guaranteed reset validity at 0.8V | Ensures clean reset assertion even during deep brownout conditions where VCC1 or VCC2 drops to 0.8V |
| Adjustable third-voltage monitoring | RSTIN input with 626.5mV reference enables monitoring of sub-1V rails (e.g., 1.2V, 1.0V, 0.9V) via external resistor divider |
| Immunity to short VCC transients | Withstands negative-going glitches ≤20µs at 100mV overdrive, preventing spurious resets in noisy power environments |
| Low 14µA supply current | Reduces standby power in battery-operated devices; enables >10-year coin-cell lifetime in always-on monitoring applications |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar triple-voltage supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6725KAUD3+ | Provides identical VCC1/VCC2 thresholds and D3 timeout but uses open-drain RST/RST outputs instead of push-pull | Requires external pullup resistors on both reset lines; unsuitable for direct drive of µP reset pins without level translation | Select MAX6725KAUD3+ only when board layout already includes pullups or when interfacing with legacy µPs requiring open-drain signaling |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single-supply monitor (3.3V threshold only) with 200ms timeout; lacks RSTIN/PFI, dual reset outputs, and watchdog functionality | Cannot replace MAX6726KASYD3+ in triple-rail systems; suitable only for single-rail supervision where auxiliary monitoring is handled separately | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR only for cost-sensitive, single-rail applications where RSTIN adjustability, dual reset polarity, and watchdog are unnecessary |
Compared with MAX6725KAUD3+, MAX6726KASYD3+ eliminates external pullup components and simplifies µP interface design; versus TPS3808G33DBVR, it delivers comprehensive triple-supply supervision with integrated watchdog and flexible reset polarity-critical for complex SoC-based systems.

FAQ
What is the exact reset timeout period for MAX6726KASYD3+?
The MAX6726KASYD3+ has a guaranteed minimum reset timeout period of 210ms, corresponding to the 'D3' suffix in its part number. This duration is factory-trimmed and specified over the full -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range. The actual timeout may vary slightly due to process and temperature effects, but remains within the 140ms to 280ms range per datasheet specifications. This fixed delay ensures sufficient time for microprocessor initialization before releasing the reset signal.
Does MAX6726KASYD3+ support monitoring a 1.0V supply rail?
Yes, MAX6726KASYD3+ supports monitoring a 1.0V supply rail using its RSTIN input. With an internal reference voltage of 626.5mV, a simple resistor divider (e.g., R1 = 600kΩ, R2 = 1MΩ) applied to RSTIN sets the trip point to exactly 1.0V. The high-impedance input (≤25nA leakage) minimizes loading on the monitored rail, and the 3mV hysteresis prevents chatter near the threshold. This capability enables precise supervision of modern low-voltage cores without requiring additional external comparators.
How does the dual-mode watchdog timer in MAX6726KASYD3+ operate?
The MAX6726KASYD3+ watchdog operates in two distinct modes: a 35s minimum startup period after any reset event (power-up, MR assertion, or watchdog timeout), followed by a 1.12s minimum normal timeout period triggered by the first valid WDI transition. This architecture accommodates lengthy firmware boot sequences while enforcing strict runtime supervision. The timer clears on every rising or falling edge at WDI, and asserts reset if no transition occurs within the active timeout window-ensuring robust detection of software hangs in production systems.
Can MAX6726KASYD3+ be used with a microprocessor that has a bidirectional reset pin?
Yes, MAX6726KASYD3+ is specifically designed for bidirectional µP reset interfaces through its dual RST outputs: one active-high and one active-low. This eliminates contention issues common with single-output supervisors. When connecting to a bidirectional pin, use the active-low RST output directly (with optional series resistor for current limiting) while leaving the active-high RST unused or tied off. The 50kΩ internal MR pullup and 200ns MR-to-RST delay further simplify integration with µPs requiring manual reset capability.
What is the lowest supply voltage at which MAX6726KASYD3+ guarantees valid reset output logic?
MAX6726KASYD3+ guarantees correct reset output logic state down to VCC1 or VCC2 = 0.8V, as explicitly stated in the datasheet's Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. This specification ensures reliable reset assertion during deep brownout conditions where other supervisors may fail. For applications requiring reset validity down to 0V, an external pull-down resistor (e.g., 100kΩ) on the active-low RST output is recommended-but this configuration is not needed for standard operation within the 0.8V–5.5V supply range.
