Product details
Overview
MAX6726KAVDD3+ from Maxim Integrated is a triple-voltage microprocessor supervisory circuit in an 8-pin SOT23 package, monitoring VCC1 (primary), VCC2 (secondary), and RSTIN (adjustable third supply) with factory-trimmed thresholds of 3.075V (VTH1), 2.925V (VTH2), and 626.5mV internal reference for RSTIN. It provides push-pull active-low RST and RST2 outputs, manual reset input (MR), watchdog timer (1.12s normal / 35s startup timeout), and operates from -40°C to +85°C. Used in multivoltage embedded systems requiring reliable power sequencing and brownout detection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6726KAVDD3+ datasheet, MAX6726KAVDD3+ pinout, MAX6726KAVDD3+ application, or MAX6726KAVDD3+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its triple-supply monitoring capability, guaranteed reset validity down to VCC1/VCC2 = 0.8V, 14µA typical supply current at 3.6V, push-pull output drive referenced to VCC1 and VCC2 respectively, and compatibility with battery-operated and industrial equipment where low-voltage supervision and watchdog safety are critical.
Technical Context
The MAX6726KAVDD3+ integrates dual independent voltage comparators for VCC1 and VCC2, plus a high-impedance RSTIN comparator with 626.5mV internal reference, enabling precise external threshold setting via resistor divider. Its reset logic asserts RST and RST2 low when any monitored supply falls below its threshold or MR is pulled low, maintaining assertion for a factory-set 210ms (min) timeout period after recovery.
It features a dual-mode watchdog timer: 35s minimum initial timeout after reset for system boot, followed by 1.12s minimum normal-mode timeout triggered by WDI edge transitions. The device guarantees valid reset output states even when VCC1 or VCC2 drops to 0.8V, and includes immunity to short VCC transients via built-in glitch rejection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC1 Reset Threshold | 3.075V (typ), factory-trimmed - ensures reliable reset assertion during primary supply brownout at nominal 3.3V rail |
| VCC2 Reset Threshold | 2.925V (typ), factory-trimmed - monitors secondary supply (e.g., I/O rail) with tight tolerance for stable dual-rail systems |
| RSTIN Reference Voltage | 626.5mV (typ) - enables accurate external monitoring of auxiliary supplies ≥0.62V using resistor divider |
| Reset Timeout Period | 210ms (min), D3 suffix - provides sufficient hold time for processor initialization and peripheral stabilization |
| Supply Current | 14µA (typ) at 3.6V - minimizes quiescent power draw in battery-powered and energy-sensitive applications |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +85°C - supports industrial and telecom environments without derating |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.12s (min) normal mode, 35s (min) startup mode - balances fast fault response with safe boot window |
Pinout & Package
MAX6726KAVDD3+ is housed in an 8-pin SOT23-8 package (3.0mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm), optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts while supporting full triple-supply supervision and dual reset outputs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RST | Active-low push-pull reset output referenced to VCC1; asserts low on fault and holds for 210ms timeout |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference for all internal comparators and output drivers |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input with 50kΩ internal pullup to VCC1; forces reset when pulled low |
| 4 | PFO | Active-low power-fail output (open-drain); asserts low when PFI < 626.5mV, deasserts immediately on recovery |
| 5 | VCC2 | Secondary supply input powering VCC2 comparator and RST2 output driver; sets VTH2 threshold |
| 6 | VCC1 | Primary supply input powering core logic, VCC1 comparator, and RST output driver; sets VTH1 threshold |
| 7 | PFI | Power-fail monitor input with 626.5mV internal reference; used with external divider to detect auxiliary supply failure |
| 8 | RST2 | Active-low push-pull reset output referenced to VCC2; independently driven but shares same reset logic as RST |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple-supply monitoring | Simultaneous supervision of VCC1 (3.075V), VCC2 (2.925V), and RSTIN (626.5mV ref) enables robust multirail system integrity |
| Dual push-pull reset outputs | RST (VCC1-referenced) and RST2 (VCC2-referenced) eliminate need for external pullups and support independent rail reset signaling |
| Guaranteed reset validity to 0.8V | Ensures deterministic reset behavior even during deep brownout conditions on either supply rail |
| Dual-mode watchdog timer | 35s startup timeout prevents spurious resets during boot; 1.12s normal timeout delivers rapid fault detection post-initialization |
| Low 14µA supply current | Reduces standby power in always-on subsystems and extends battery life in portable equipment |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar triple-voltage supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6725KAUTD3+ | Same 8-pin SOT23 package, identical VTH1/VTH2/RSTIN thresholds and D3 timeout, but provides open-drain RST and push-pull RST2 outputs instead of dual push-pull | Suitable where level-shifting or wired-OR reset bus is required; not ideal for direct VCC1/VCC2-referenced drive without pullups | Select MAX6725KAUTD3+ only if open-drain flexibility is needed on primary reset path; MAX6726KAVDD3+ preferred for simplified layout and stronger drive |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single-supply (3.3V only), no RSTIN or PFI, 200ms timeout, 1.6µA supply current - lacks triple-monitoring and dual reset outputs | Limited to single-rail systems; cannot replace MAX6726KAVDD3+ in multivoltage designs without redesign | Consider only for cost-sensitive, single-rail applications where auxiliary monitoring and dual reset are unnecessary |
Compared with MAX6725KAUTD3+, MAX6726KAVDD3+ offers superior drive strength and eliminates external pullup components on both RST and RST2; versus TPS3808G33DBVR, it delivers essential triple-supply coverage and watchdog safety for complex embedded systems - making it the optimal choice for industrial and medical multirail supervision.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for VCC1 on the MAX6726KAVDD3+?
The MAX6726KAVDD3+ has a factory-trimmed VCC1 reset threshold of 3.075V (typical), with a guaranteed range of 3.000V to 3.150V over temperature. This value is encoded in the "V" suffix per Maxim's Reset Voltage Threshold Suffix Guide and applies specifically to the MAX6726KAVDD3+ variant - not the broader MAX6726 family.
Does the MAX6726KAVDD3+ support monitoring a third supply voltage, and how is it configured?
Yes, the MAX6726KAVDD3+ supports third-supply monitoring via the RSTIN pin, which uses an internal 626.5mV reference. To monitor an external voltage (e.g., 1.2V or 5V), connect a resistor divider between that supply and GND, with the midpoint feeding RSTIN. The threshold is set by VEXT = 626.5mV × (R1 + R2)/R2, where R2 connects to GND.
What are the reset timeout and watchdog timeout periods for the MAX6726KAVDD3+?
The MAX6726KAVDD3+ features a 210ms (minimum) reset timeout period (D3 suffix) and a dual-mode watchdog: 35s minimum initial timeout after power-up or reset, followed by 1.12s minimum normal-mode timeout. Both are factory-programmed and do not require external components.
How does the MAX6726KAVDD3+ ensure reliable reset operation during low-VCC conditions?
The MAX6726KAVDD3+ guarantees valid reset output logic states down to VCC1 or VCC2 = 0.8V - verified across temperature and process corners. This ensures deterministic reset assertion even during deep brownouts, unlike many supervisors that fail below 1.0V. Its internal bandgap and comparator design maintain accuracy without external biasing.
Can the MAX6726KAVDD3+ be used in place of the MAX6725KAUTD3+ without PCB changes?
No - although both are 8-pin SOT23 triple supervisors with identical thresholds and timeout, MAX6726KAVDD3+ uses push-pull RST and RST2 outputs, whereas MAX6725KAUTD3+ uses open-drain RST and push-pull RST2. Swapping requires verifying pullup requirements on RST and confirming voltage referencing - not a drop-in replacement.
