Product details
Overview
The MAX6728AKASHD3+T from Maxim Integrated is a dual-supply ultra-low-voltage microprocessor supervisory circuit with power-fail monitoring, factory-trimmed VCC1/VCC2 reset thresholds (4.625V/3.075V), 280ms reset timeout, and open-drain RST/PFO outputs. It monitors primary (1.8–5.0V) and secondary (0.9–3.3V) supplies while guaranteeing valid reset logic down to VCC1 or VCC2 = 0.8V - used in telecom power management systems requiring reliable brownout detection and orderly shutdown.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6728AKASHD3+T datasheet, MAX6728AKASHD3+T pinout, MAX6728AKASHD3+T application, or MAX6728AKASHD3+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-supply monitoring capability, PFI/PFO power-fail interface, 280ms reset timeout, -40°C to +125°C operation, and SOT23-8 package compatibility with multivoltage industrial and networking equipment.
Technical Context
This device integrates two independent voltage comparators for VCC1 and VCC2, a dedicated power-fail comparator (PFI → PFO), manual-reset input (MR), and open-drain active-low reset output (RST) and power-fail output (PFO). All reset functions assert when either supply falls below its threshold and hold for the 280ms timeout period after recovery.
The PFI input uses a 626.5mV internal reference to detect supply droop; PFO deasserts immediately without timeout. MR features a 50kΩ internal pullup to VCC1 and supports CMOS-level triggering. The device draws only 10–39µA total supply current and operates across the full automotive-grade temperature range (-40°C to +125°C).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC1 Reset Threshold | 4.625V (typ), factory-trimmed - ensures reliable reset assertion before 5V system rail collapse |
| VCC2 Reset Threshold | 3.075V (typ), factory-trimmed - matches common 3.3V I/O or core supply trip point |
| Reset Timeout Period | 280ms (min) - provides sufficient hold time for processor initialization and firmware boot sequence |
| PFI Input Threshold | 626.5mV (typ) - enables precise external resistor-divider setup for custom power-fail detection |
| Supply Current | 10µA (typ at VCC1 < 3.6V) - minimizes quiescent load on battery-backed or low-power auxiliary rails |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial control, and telecom base station use |
| Output Type | Open-drain RST and PFO - allows wired-OR configuration and flexible pullup voltage selection |
Pinout & Package
MAX6728AKASHD3+T is housed in an 8-pin SOT23 package (package code K8SN+1, outline 21-0078), with thermal resistance θJA = 180°C/W on multilayer board.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RST | Active-low reset output | Open-drain output asserted when VCC1/VCC2 drops below threshold or MR pulled low; requires external pullup |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all internal comparators and logic; must be low-impedance connection |
| 3 - MR | Manual-reset input | Active-low input with 50kΩ internal pullup to VCC1; initiates reset on falling edge and holds for full timeout |
| 4 - PFO | Active-low power-fail output | Open-drain output asserted when PFI < 626.5mV; deasserts immediately on recovery (no timeout) |
| 5 - VCC2 | Secondary supply input | Powers internal circuitry when VCC2 > VCC1; monitored by second comparator for 0.9–3.3V rails |
| 6 - VCC1 | Primary supply input | Main power source and reference for MR pullup, RST/PFO drive, and first comparator (1.8–5.0V) |
| 7 - PFI | Power-fail monitor input | High-impedance input referenced to 626.5mV; used with resistor divider to detect auxiliary supply droop |
| 8 - NC | No connect | Pin 8 is internally unused and must remain unconnected per datasheet; no routing or grounding required |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent supply monitoring | Simultaneous VCC1 (1.8–5.0V) and VCC2 (0.9–3.3V) supervision with separate thresholds and hysteresis |
| Power-fail detection with immediate response | PFI→PFO path has 2µs typical delay and zero timeout - enables real-time warning before system shutdown |
| Guaranteed reset validity down to 0.8V | Ensures correct RST/PFO logic state even during deep brownout, critical for fail-safe embedded control |
| Low-quiescent-current design | 10µA typical ICC1 at VCC1 < 3.6V - extends battery life in portable or backup-power applications |
| SOT23-8 automotive-qualified package | K8SN+1 footprint supports high-density PCB layout and meets AEC-Q100 stress requirements |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-supply supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6729AKASHD3+T | Same pinout and electrical specs, but includes watchdog timer (WDI input); adds 35s startup + 1.12s normal timeout modes | Required where software execution monitoring is needed alongside power supervision | Select MAX6729AKASHD3+T if watchdog functionality is mandatory; otherwise MAX6728AKASHD3+T reduces BOM count and simplifies firmware |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single-supply (3.3V only), no PFI/PFO, fixed 3.08V threshold, 200ms timeout, SOT23-6 package | Limited to single-rail systems without power-fail signaling or secondary supply monitoring | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR only for cost-sensitive, single-voltage designs lacking PFI or VCC2 requirements |
Compared with MAX6729AKASHD3+T, the MAX6728AKASHD3+T omits watchdog circuitry to reduce complexity and cost where software monitoring is unnecessary; versus TPS3808G33DBVR, it delivers true dual-supply supervision and power-fail alerting in the same compact SOT23-8 footprint.

FAQ
What is the exact reset timeout period for MAX6728AKASHD3+T?
The MAX6728AKASHD3+T has a guaranteed minimum reset timeout period of 280ms (D3 suffix). This value is factory-trimmed and specified over the full -40°C to +125°C temperature range. The actual timeout may extend up to 350ms depending on process variation and operating conditions, but will never fall below 280ms.
Does MAX6728AKASHD3+T support monitoring a third voltage rail?
No, MAX6728AKASHD3+T does not include an RSTIN input for adjustable third-rail monitoring. That feature is present only in variants like MAX6723A–MAX6727A. MAX6728AKASHD3+T is strictly a dual-supply supervisor with VCC1 and VCC2 inputs plus PFI for auxiliary power-fail detection.
Can MAX6728AKASHD3+T be used in automotive applications?
Yes, MAX6728AKASHD3+T operates from -40°C to +125°C and is built on the same platform as AEC-Q100-qualified parts (e.g., MAX6719AUTTWD1/V+T). While the MAX6728AKASHD3+T itself is not individually certified, its design, test coverage, and qualification pedigree make it suitable for automotive ADAS and body electronics where full AEC-Q100 documentation is not mandated.
What is the function of Pin 8 (NC) on MAX6728AKASHD3+T?
Pin 8 on MAX6728AKASHD3+T is a no-connect (NC) terminal. It is not bonded internally and must remain unconnected on the PCB. Routing traces to or placing solder on Pin 8 violates the device's validated land pattern (90-0176) and may cause mechanical stress or unintended coupling.
How does the PFI-to-PFO path differ from the VCC1/VCC2 reset path in MAX6728AKASHD3+T?
In MAX6728AKASHD3+T, the PFI-to-PFO path asserts PFO immediately when PFI falls below 626.5mV and deasserts PFO instantly upon recovery - no timeout is applied. In contrast, VCC1/VCC2 faults trigger RST with a mandatory 280ms minimum timeout, ensuring sustained reset hold time regardless of transient recovery speed.
