Product details
Overview
MAX6726KAWGD3+ 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 2.925V (VTH1) and 2.188V (VTH2), 210ms reset timeout, and push-pull active-low RST output. It ensures reliable system reset during brownout, power-up, or watchdog fault in battery-powered and multivoltage embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6726KAWGD3+ datasheet, MAX6726KAWGD3+ pinout, MAX6726KAWGD3+ application, or MAX6726KAWGD3+ equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, exact pin functions, real-world use cases for telecom and industrial equipment, and two validated alternative parts with documented functional and timing differences.
Technical Context
The MAX6726KAWGD3+ integrates dual independent voltage comparators for VCC1 and VCC2 plus a high-impedance RSTIN input referenced to a 626.5mV internal bandgap, enabling precise monitoring of a third supply down to 0.62V via external resistor divider. Its reset logic asserts RST low when any monitored voltage falls below threshold and holds for a guaranteed minimum 210ms after all supplies recover.
This device implements a dual-mode watchdog timer: a 35s startup period after reset followed by a 1.12s normal timeout, triggered by WDI edge transitions. It features manual reset (MR) with 50kΩ internal pullup, and supports push-pull RST output referenced to VCC1 - confirmed by its "K" suffix and Selector Guide entry.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
MAX6726KAWGD3+ uses an 8-pin SOT23-8 package (3.0mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm), surface-mount, lead-free, RoHS-compliant. Pin 1 marked with dot; pin numbering follows standard SOT23-8 counterclockwise layout.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RST | Active-low push-pull reset output referenced to VCC1; drives low during fault and remains low for 210ms post-recovery |
| 2 | GND | System ground reference for all internal comparators, timers, and output drivers |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input with 50kΩ internal pullup to VCC1; 1µs minimum pulse width required |
| 4 | PFO | Active-low power-fail output (push-pull), asserted when PFI < 626.5mV; no timeout delay, deasserts immediately on recovery |
| 5 | VCC2 | Secondary supply input (0.9V–3.3V); powers internal VCC2 comparator and RST2 if enabled |
| 6 | VCC1 | Primary supply input (1.8V–5.0V); powers core logic, VCC1 comparator, and RST output driver |
| 7 | WDI | Watchdog input; rising/falling edges reset 1.12s normal timeout; 35s startup mode after reset |
| 8 | RSTIN/PFI | Shared terminal: configurable as adjustable reset monitor (RSTIN) or power-fail input (PFI); 626.5mV internal reference |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual factory-trimmed voltage monitors | VCC1 = 2.925V ±1.5%, VCC2 = 2.188V ±1.5% - eliminates external resistor networks for primary/secondary rail supervision |

| Dual-mode watchdog timer | 35s startup + 1.12s normal timeout - accommodates long boot sequences while ensuring rapid fault detection during runtime |
| Guaranteed reset validity down to 0.8V | Functional reset assertion even when VCC1 or VCC2 drops to 0.8V - critical for graceful shutdown in deep brownout conditions |
| Low 14µA supply current | Enables >10-year battery life in coin-cell–powered IoT sensors and backup supervisors |

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+ | Open-drain RST and RST2 outputs; same VTH1/VTH2 thresholds and 210ms timeout | Requires external pullup resistor; suitable where reset net must be shared with other open-drain sources | Select when system-level reset bus uses wired-OR architecture or level-shifting is needed |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Dual-supply only (no RSTIN/PFI), 3.3V fixed VDD threshold, 200ms timeout, 2.5µA IQ | Lacks third-supply monitoring; lower quiescent current but no adjustable input or PFO functionality | Select for cost-sensitive dual-rail apps where RSTIN and PFO are unused and ultra-low IQ is critical |
Compared with MAX6725KAUD3+, MAX6726KAWGD3+ provides push-pull RST for direct drive without pullup, simplifying layout; compared with TPS3808G33DBVR, it adds RSTIN-adjustable third-rail monitoring and PFO - essential for systems requiring power-fail warning or auxiliary supply supervision.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for VCC1 on MAX6726KAWGD3+?
The MAX6726KAWGD3+ has a factory-trimmed VCC1 reset threshold of 2.925V (typical), with tolerance of ±1.5% over temperature. This value is fixed by the "W" suffix per Maxim's Reset Voltage Threshold Suffix Guide and applies to the primary 3.0V supply rail. The device guarantees correct reset assertion down to VCC1 = 0.8V, making it suitable for deep brownout detection scenarios in the MAX6726KAWGD3+ design.
Does MAX6726KAWGD3+ support monitoring a third voltage, and how is it configured?
Yes, MAX6726KAWGD3+ supports third-voltage monitoring via the RSTIN/PFI pin, which uses an internal 626.5mV reference. To monitor an external supply (e.g., 5.0V), connect a resistor divider between that supply and GND, with the midpoint fed to RSTIN. The threshold is calculated as VEXT_TH = 626.5mV × (R1 + R2)/R2. This capability is confirmed in the Functional Diagram and Electrical Characteristics table for MAX6726KAWGD3+.
What is the function of the PFO pin on MAX6726KAWGD3+?
The PFO (Power-Fail Output) pin on MAX6726KAWGD3+ is an active-low push-pull output that asserts when the PFI input falls below 626.5mV. Unlike the RST output, PFO has no timeout delay - it deasserts immediately upon recovery. It can generate an interrupt to the host µP or trigger auxiliary shutdown logic. PFO shares the RSTIN/PFI pin (Pin 8), and its operation is enabled by configuring that terminal as PFI in the MAX6726KAWGD3+ application circuit.
How does the watchdog timer operate on MAX6726KAWGD3+?
The MAX6726KAWGD3+ implements a dual-mode watchdog: after any reset event, it enters a 35s (min) startup mode, then switches to a 1.12s (min) normal timeout upon first valid WDI edge. WDI must see a rising or falling transition within each timeout window to prevent reset assertion. This architecture allows lengthy system boot while maintaining tight runtime fault detection - a confirmed feature of the MAX6726KAWGD3+ per its Selector Guide and Detailed Description section.
What package type and pin count does MAX6726KAWGD3+ use?
MAX6726KAWGD3+ uses an 8-pin SOT23-8 package (3.0mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm), as specified in the Ordering Information table and confirmed by the "KA" prefix in its part number. This differs from 5-pin and 6-pin variants in the MAX6715–MAX6729 family and accommodates its full feature set: RST, GND, MR, PFO, VCC2, VCC1, WDI, and RSTIN/PFI - all physically present and electrically validated in the MAX6726KAWGD3+ pinout documentation.
