Product details
Overview
The MAX6728AKASVD3+T from Maxim Integrated is a dual-supply ultra-low-voltage microprocessor supervisory circuit designed to monitor VCC1 (primary) and VCC2 (secondary) supply rails while providing power-fail detection via PFI/PFO, manual reset (MR), and open-drain active-low RST output. It features factory-trimmed reset thresholds of 4.625V (VCC1) and 0.788V (VCC2), 280ms minimum reset timeout, and operates from -40°C to +125°C in SOT23-6 package. It is used in telecom power systems to ensure reliable boot and brownout recovery.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6728AKASVD3+T datasheet, MAX6728AKASVD3+T pinout, MAX6728AKASVD3+T application, or MAX6728AKASVD3+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-rail monitoring capability with independent low-voltage VCC2 support (down to 0.765V), guaranteed reset validity at VCC ≥ 0.8V, integrated power-fail comparator with 626.5mV reference, and AEC-Q100–compatible qualification for industrial reliability.
Technical Context
This device implements two independent voltage comparators - one for VCC1 (1.58V–4.63V thresholds) and one for VCC2 (0.765V–3.15V thresholds) - each feeding into a shared reset timeout timer. The internal 626.5mV reference enables precise PFI-based power-fail detection and supports external resistor-divider networks for auxiliary voltage monitoring.
It integrates a power-fail comparator with 2µs propagation delay, manual-reset input with 50kΩ internal pullup to VCC1 and 1µs minimum pulse width requirement, and open-drain RST output referenced to VCC1. All logic states remain valid down to VCC1 or VCC2 = 0.8V, ensuring robust operation during deep brownouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC1 Reset Threshold | 4.625V (typ), factory-trimmed; ensures reliable reset assertion when primary rail drops below nominal 4.63V level |
| VCC2 Reset Threshold | 0.788V (typ), factory-trimmed; enables supervision of sub-1V core supplies such as 0.9V or 0.8V domains |
| Reset Timeout Period | 280ms (min); provides sufficient hold time for slow-starting DC-DC converters and firmware initialization |
| PFI Threshold Voltage | 626.5mV (typ); fixed internal reference for accurate power-fail detection across temperature (-40°C to +125°C) |
| Supply Current (ICC) | 15µA (typ) at 3.6V; ultra-low quiescent current extends battery life in portable equipment |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C; qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial environments requiring extended thermal range |
| Package | SOT23-6 (U6+1); compact 6-pin surface-mount footprint with 1.6mm × 2.9mm body and 0.95mm height |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-6 package (package code U6+1), 1.6mm × 2.9mm × 0.95mm, JEDEC MO-178AC compliant, thermal resistance θJA = 115°C/W on multilayer board.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RST | Active-low open-drain reset output; requires external pullup; asserts when VCC1/VCC2 drop below threshold or MR is pulled low |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference for all internal comparators and logic; must be connected to system ground plane |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual-reset input; internal 50kΩ pullup to VCC1; 1µs minimum pulse width required for reliable assertion |
| 4 | VCC2 | Secondary supply input; powers internal VCC2 comparator and sets VCC2 reset threshold reference |
| 5 | VCC1 | Primary supply input; powers device core, resets timeout timer, and references RST output high-level |
| 6 | PFI | Power-fail input; high-impedance node tied to internal 626.5mV comparator; used with resistor divider to monitor auxiliary rail |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent supply monitoring | Simultaneous supervision of VCC1 (1.58V–4.63V) and VCC2 (0.765V–3.15V) with separate thresholds and hysteresis |
| Integrated power-fail comparator | 626.5mV internal reference with 2µs PFI-to-PFO delay; enables early warning shutdown before critical brownout |
| Guaranteed reset validity at low VCC | Reset logic remains functional down to VCC1 or VCC2 = 0.8V - critical for fail-safe behavior during deep undervoltage events |
| Low supply current | 15µA typical ICC at 3.6V - reduces system standby power and extends battery runtime in portable designs |
| Immunity to short VCC transients | Withstands negative-going VCC glitches ≤20µs (at 100mV overdrive), preventing spurious resets in noisy power environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-supply supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6723AKASVD3+T | Includes RSTIN input for third-voltage monitoring (0.626V reference); same VCC1/VCC2 thresholds and 280ms timeout | Required where triple-rail supervision (e.g., VCC1/VCC2/RSTIN) is needed; adds external resistor-divider complexity | Select MAX6723AKASVD3+T only if monitoring a third supply (e.g., battery backup) is mandatory; otherwise MAX6728AKASVD3+T offers simpler BOM |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single-supply supervisor (3.3V threshold only); no VCC2 monitoring or PFI capability; 200ms timeout; SOT23-6 package | Limited to single-rail systems; lacks power-fail detection and secondary supply supervision | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR only for cost-sensitive 3.3V-only applications without auxiliary rail or PFI needs; not functionally equivalent |
Compared with MAX6723AKASVD3+T, the MAX6728AKASVD3+T omits RSTIN to reduce external component count and simplify layout; compared with TPS3808G33DBVR, it delivers true dual-rail supervision and integrated power-fail functionality essential for multivoltage systems.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for VCC1 on the MAX6728AKASVD3+T?
The MAX6728AKASVD3+T has a factory-trimmed VCC1 reset threshold of 4.625V (typical), with min/max values of 4.500V and 4.750V respectively. This value is encoded in the "K" suffix per Maxim's Reset Voltage Threshold Suffix Guide and applies across the full -40°C to +125°C operating range with ±20ppm/°C tempco.
Does the MAX6728AKASVD3+T support monitoring a third voltage rail?
No, the MAX6728AKASVD3+T does not include an RSTIN input. It is a dual-supply supervisor monitoring only VCC1 and VCC2. For triple-voltage monitoring, consider the pin-compatible MAX6723AKASVD3+T, which adds the RSTIN terminal while retaining identical VCC1/VCC2 thresholds and 280ms timeout.
What is the function of Pin 6 (PFI) on the MAX6728AKASVD3+T?
Pin 6 (PFI) is the power-fail input terminal of the MAX6728AKASVD3+T. It connects to an internal 626.5mV comparator and is used with an external resistor divider to monitor auxiliary voltages (e.g., battery or preregulated input). When PFI falls below 626.5mV, the PFO output asserts low - independently of the main reset timeout.
Can the MAX6728AKASVD3+T operate with VCC2 below 1.0V?
Yes, the MAX6728AKASVD3+T supports VCC2 as low as 0.765V (minimum threshold) and guarantees valid reset logic down to VCC2 = 0.8V. Its VCC2 threshold is factory-trimmed to 0.788V (typ), making it suitable for supervising modern sub-1V core supplies like 0.9V or 0.8V FPGA domains.
What package type and footprint does the MAX6728AKASVD3+T use?
The MAX6728AKASVD3+T uses a SOT23-6 package (outline number 21-0058, land pattern 90-0175), also designated U6+1. It measures 1.6mm × 2.9mm × 0.95mm and is RoHS-compliant. The pinout matches standard SOT23-6 layouts, with Pin 1 = RST, Pin 2 = GND, Pin 3 = MR, Pin 4 = VCC2, Pin 5 = VCC1, Pin 6 = PFI.
