Product details
Overview
The MAX6727KATGD3 from Maxim Integrated is a dual-voltage, ultra-low-voltage microprocessor supervisory circuit in an 8-pin SOT23 package, monitoring VCC1 (1.62V threshold) and VCC2 (0.788V threshold) with 210ms reset timeout, watchdog disable capability, and open-drain RST/RST2 outputs - used to ensure reliable power-on reset and brownout recovery in battery-powered embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6727KATGD3 datasheet, MAX6727KATGD3 pinout, MAX6727KATGD3 application, or MAX6727KATGD3 equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 0.8V, 14µA typical supply current at 3.6V, externally adjustable RSTIN input for third-voltage monitoring (626.5mV reference), and immunity to sub-100ns VCC transients.
Technical Context
The MAX6727KATGD3 implements dual independent voltage monitoring with factory-trimmed thresholds: VTH1 = 1.62V (±45mV) on VCC1 and VTH2 = 0.788V (±25mV) on VCC2, both referenced to internal bandgap references with 20ppm/°C tempco. It asserts active-low reset when either supply falls below its threshold and holds reset for a guaranteed minimum 210ms after both supplies recover.
This device includes an adjustable RSTIN input (626.5mV ±15.5mV reference, 100nA max input current) for monitoring a third supply down to 0.62V, plus manual-reset (MR) with 50kΩ internal pullup and glitch rejection <100ns. Watchdog functionality is disabled by leaving WDI unconnected, leveraging a 200nA detection current source.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC1 Threshold | 1.62V (min 1.575V, max 1.665V) - sets primary supply brownout detection point for 1.8V I/O rails |
| VCC2 Threshold | 0.788V (min 0.765V, max 0.810V) - enables core voltage supervision for sub-1V processors |
| Reset Timeout | 210ms (min 140ms, max 280ms) - ensures sufficient hold time for full system initialization after power recovery |
| Supply Current | 14µA typ at 3.6V - supports >10-year battery life in always-on IoT sensor nodes |
| RSTIN Reference | 626.5mV (±15.5mV) - allows precise third-voltage monitoring via external resistor divider |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial control environments |
| Reset Validity | Guaranteed down to VCC1 or VCC2 = 0.8V - ensures deterministic reset assertion during deep brownout |
Pinout & Package
MAX6727KATGD3 is housed in an 8-pin SOT23 package (2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm), optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts in portable electronics and automotive modules.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RST | Active-low open-drain reset output referenced to VCC1; requires external pullup for logic-high state |
| 2 | GND | System ground reference for all internal comparators and logic |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual-reset input with 50kΩ internal pullup to VCC1; debounced by 1µs minimum pulse width |
| 4 | VCC2 | Secondary supply input powering VCC2 comparator and RST2 output stage; valid from 0.8V–5.5V |
| 5 | VCC1 | Primary supply input powering core logic, VCC1 comparator, and RST output stage; valid from 0.8V–5.5V |
| 6 | RST2 | Active-low open-drain reset output referenced to VCC2; independent timing but shares same reset assertion logic as RST |
| 7 | RSTIN | High-impedance undervoltage monitor input with 626.5mV internal reference; enables third-supply monitoring down to 0.62V |
| 8 | PFO | Active-low open-drain power-fail output referenced to VCC1; asserts without timeout when PFI falls below 626.5mV (PFI not populated on MAX6727) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent voltage monitoring | Simultaneous supervision of 1.8V I/O rail (VCC1) and 0.9V core rail (VCC2) with separate thresholds and hysteresis |
| Adjustable third-supply monitor | RSTIN input with 626.5mV reference enables monitoring of auxiliary supplies (e.g., RTC battery, analog sensor rail) via resistor divider |
| Low-power operation | 14µA typical supply current at 3.6V supports multi-year battery life in always-on applications like smart meters and wearables |
| Brownout immunity | Guaranteed reset assertion down to VCC = 0.8V prevents spurious release during deep voltage sag |
| Noise-immune MR interface | 100ns glitch rejection and internal 50kΩ pullup eliminate need for external RC debounce in pushbutton reset circuits |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Modules | Automotive Body Control Units |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-voltage supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6726KATGD3 | Push-pull RST/RST2 outputs instead of open-drain; identical thresholds, timeout, and RSTIN spec | Eliminates need for external pullup resistors; better suited for driving CMOS inputs directly | Select MAX6726KATGD3 when interfacing with unidirectional reset pins or when board space prohibits pullup resistors |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single-supply monitor (3.3V only); no VCC2 input, no RSTIN, no PFO; 200ms timeout, 1.5µA IQ | Lacks dual-rail monitoring capability; suitable only for single-rail systems with ultra-low IQ requirement | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR only for cost-sensitive, single-voltage applications where 14µA vs. 1.5µA matters and dual monitoring is unnecessary |
Compared with MAX6727KATGD3, MAX6726KATGD3 offers push-pull drive for simplified interface but forfeits open-drain flexibility for wired-OR reset buses; TPS3808G33DBVR reduces quiescent current by 90% but eliminates dual-supply and third-voltage monitoring entirely.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for VCC1 on the MAX6727KATGD3?
The MAX6727KATGD3 has a VCC1 reset threshold of 1.62V, with a guaranteed range of 1.575V (min) to 1.665V (max) at +25°C. This threshold is factory-trimmed and exhibits ±0.5% hysteresis and 20ppm/°C temperature coefficient, making it suitable for precise 1.8V rail supervision in industrial applications where voltage tolerance must remain within ±3%.
Does the MAX6727KATGD3 support monitoring a third voltage supply?
Yes, the MAX6727KATGD3 supports third-voltage monitoring via its RSTIN pin, which features a precise 626.5mV (±15.5mV) internal reference. By connecting an external resistor divider between the target supply and GND, designers can configure the trip point down to 0.62V - enabling supervision of auxiliary rails like RTC batteries, sensor analog supplies, or isolated DC-DC outputs without adding discrete components.
What is the function of Pin 8 (PFO) on the MAX6727KATGD3?
Pin 8 (PFO) on the MAX6727KATGD3 is an active-low open-drain power-fail output referenced to VCC1. Although the MAX6727 variant does not include the PFI input (unlike MAX6728/MAX6729), PFO remains functional as a secondary reset output or general-purpose open-drain signal driver. It asserts low simultaneously with RST/RST2 during reset events and deasserts immediately upon recovery - without timeout delay - allowing use as a fast power-fail interrupt signal.
How is watchdog functionality handled on the MAX6727KATGD3?
The MAX6727KATGD3 includes watchdog capability via the WDI pin, but it is disabled by default: leaving WDI unconnected activates an internal 200nA current source that detects the floating state and disables the timer. To enable watchdog monitoring, connect WDI to a processor GPIO and toggle it within 1.12s (min) normal timeout period after the initial 35s startup window. No external components are required for basic watchdog operation.
What package type and dimensions does the MAX6727KATGD3 use?
The MAX6727KATGD3 uses an 8-pin SOT23 package measuring 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm with standard gull-wing leads. This compact outline supports high-density PCB layouts in portable and automotive applications. The device is RoHS-compliant and rated for operation from -40°C to +125°C, with thermal resistance θJA = 220°C/W - requiring minimal copper area for thermal management in most implementations.
