Product details
Overview
MAX6728AKALTD3+T from Maxim Integrated is a dual-supply ultra-low-voltage microprocessor supervisory circuit in 8-pin SOT23 package, monitoring VCC1 (4.625V factory-trimmed threshold) and VCC2 (3.075V threshold) with 280ms reset timeout, push-pull active-low RST output, power-fail input/output (PFI/PFO), and manual-reset input - used in telecom power systems to ensure reliable cold-start sequencing and brownout recovery.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6728AKALTD3+T datasheet, MAX6728AKALTD3+T pinout, MAX6728AKALTD3+T application, or MAX6728AKALTD3+T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed reset validity down to VCC1/VCC2 = 0.8V, 14µA typical supply current at 3.6V, PFI threshold of 626.5mV with 2µs delay, and AEC-Q100-qualified variants for automotive-grade reliability validation.
Technical Context
The MAX6728AKALTD3+T integrates dual independent voltage comparators with hysteresis (0.5%), a 280ms reset timeout timer, and dedicated PFI/PFO circuitry referenced to a 626.5mV internal bandgap reference. It supports simultaneous monitoring of primary (VCC1) and secondary (VCC2) rails without external components.
Its functional architecture includes an internal 50kΩ MR pullup, watchdog disable-by-open-circuit WDI, and push-pull RST output referenced to VCC1. The device asserts reset when either VCC1 drops below 4.625V or VCC2 falls below 3.075V, maintains reset for ≥280ms after recovery, and guarantees correct logic state down to 0.8V on either supply.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
MAX6728AKALTD3+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 < 4.625V, VCC2 < 3.075V, MR low, or PFI < 626.5mV |
| 2 | GND | System ground reference for all comparators, timers, and outputs |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual-reset input with internal 50kΩ pullup to VCC1; 1µs minimum pulse width required |
| 4 | VCC2 | Secondary supply input powering comparator stage for VCC2 monitoring and RST2 output |
| 5 | VCC1 | Primary supply input powering core logic, timer, and RST output driver |
| 6 | PFI | Power-fail input referenced to 626.5mV internal reference; triggers PFO assertion when voltage falls below threshold |
| 7 | PFO | Active-low push-pull power-fail output referenced to VCC1; deasserts immediately (no timeout) upon PFI recovery |
| 8 | RSTIN | Unused in MAX6728A variant; internally disconnected - no external connection required |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-supply supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6728AUTTWD3+T | Same electrical specs but in 6-pin SOT23 (U6+1A); lacks PFO and RSTIN pins - no power-fail functionality | Suitable only for basic dual-rail reset without power-fail warning capability | Select when PFI/PFO is unnecessary and PCB space is constrained |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single-supply (3.3V only), 200ms timeout, open-drain RST, no PFI/PFO or MR - lower integration | Requires external components for dual-rail monitoring and lacks manual reset | Choose for cost-sensitive, single-rail applications where feature set can be reduced |
Compared with MAX6728AKALTD3+T, the MAX6728AUTTWD3+T saves board area but sacrifices power-fail alerting, while TPS3808G33DBVR reduces unit cost at the expense of design flexibility and dual-supply coverage - making MAX6728AKALTD3+T optimal for systems requiring integrated PFI/PFO, MR, and guaranteed 0.8V operation.

FAQ
What is the factory-trimmed reset threshold voltage for VCC1 on MAX6728AKALTD3+T?
The MAX6728AKALTD3+T has a factory-trimmed VCC1 reset threshold of 4.625V (typical), with guaranteed range 4.500V to 4.750V at 25°C. This value is fixed and non-adjustable, matching the 'K' suffix in the ordering code. The threshold exhibits ±20ppm/°C tempco and 0.5% hysteresis relative to typical value - ensuring stable trip points across -40°C to +125°C operation. MAX6728AKALTD3+T uses this precise threshold to supervise 4.5–5.0V primary rails in telecom and industrial systems.
Does MAX6728AKALTD3+T support power-fail detection, and how is it implemented?
Yes, MAX6728AKALTD3+T supports power-fail detection via dedicated PFI and PFO pins. PFI accepts an external resistor-divider to monitor any supply (e.g., battery or preregulated input), comparing it against a 626.5mV internal reference. When PFI voltage drops below threshold, PFO asserts low within 2µs - immediately, without reset timeout delay. PFO is push-pull and referenced to VCC1, enabling direct interrupt generation. MAX6728AKALTD3+T uses this to trigger firmware-controlled shutdown before main rail collapse.
What is the reset timeout period for MAX6728AKALTD3+T, and is it adjustable?
The MAX6728AKALTD3+T has a fixed reset timeout period of 280ms (minimum), denoted by the 'D3' suffix in its part number. This value is factory-programmed and not user-adjustable. The timeout begins when VCC1 or VCC2 recovers above their respective thresholds and ensures the reset signal remains asserted long enough for complete system initialization - critical for multi-core processors and FPGAs. MAX6728AKALTD3+T guarantees ≥280ms hold time across full temperature and voltage range.
Can MAX6728AKALTD3+T monitor three supply voltages?
No, MAX6728AKALTD3+T monitors exactly two supply voltages: VCC1 (primary, 4.625V threshold) and VCC2 (secondary, 3.075V threshold). While the MAX6719A–MAX6727A variants include RSTIN for third-voltage monitoring, the MAX6728A series disables RSTIN (pin 8 is NC). Its datasheet confirms RSTIN is unused in MAX6728A/MAX6729A/MAX6797A variants. MAX6728AKALTD3+T is therefore optimized for dual-rail systems where simplicity and reliability outweigh triple-monitoring needs.
What is the operating temperature range and qualification status of MAX6728AKALTD3+T?
MAX6728AKALTD3+T operates from -40°C to +125°C and is specified across this full range. While not explicitly AEC-Q100 qualified itself, it belongs to the MAX6715A–MAX6729A family where certain variants (e.g., MAX6719AUTTWD1/V+T) carry AEC-Q100 Grade 1 certification. MAX6728AKALTD3+T shares identical process, design, and test methodology - making it suitable for automotive under-hood applications where extended temperature performance is mandatory. MAX6728AKALTD3+T meets industrial and telecom reliability requirements without derating.
