Product details
Overview
MAX6728AKATID3+ from Maxim Integrated is a dual-voltage microprocessor supervisory IC monitoring VCC1 (primary supply) and VCC2 (secondary supply), with power-fail input (PFI)/output (PFO), manual-reset (MR), and push-pull active-low RST output. It asserts reset when either supply drops below factory-trimmed thresholds (VTH1 = 4.625 V, VTH2 = 3.075 V), maintains reset for 140 ms minimum timeout, and operates from -40°C to +125°C in an 8-pin SOT23 package. Used in telecom power systems requiring reliable brownout detection and orderly shutdown.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6728AKATID3+ datasheet, MAX6728AKATID3+ pinout, MAX6728AKATID3+ application, or MAX6728AKATID3+ equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, validated pin functions, confirmed triple-supply monitoring capability (via PFI), guaranteed reset validity down to VCC1/VCC2 = 0.8 V, and real-world substitution guidance - all aligned to Maxim's official MAX6728A datasheet Rev 5 (10/17).
Technical Context
The MAX6728AKATID3+ integrates dual independent voltage comparators for VCC1 and VCC2, a dedicated power-fail comparator (PFI → PFO), manual-reset logic with internal 50 kΩ pullup to VCC1, and push-pull RST output referenced to VCC1. Its reset assertion is synchronized across all monitored inputs, with hysteresis (0.5% of VTH) and immunity to sub-20 µs VCC transients.
It supports system-level reliability features including guaranteed reset assertion at VCC1 or VCC2 ≥ 0.8 V, low 14 µA typical supply current at 3.6 V, and 2 µs PFI-to-PFO propagation delay. The device lacks watchdog or RSTIN functionality - confirmed by its suffix "D3" (140 ms timeout) and absence of WDI/RSTIN pins in its 8-pin SOT23 pinout.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC1 Reset Threshold | 4.625 V (factory-trimmed, ±125 mV tolerance); ensures reliable reset assertion during 5 V rail brownout |
| VCC2 Reset Threshold | 3.075 V (factory-trimmed, ±75 mV tolerance); monitors 3.3 V auxiliary rail with guaranteed operation down to 0.8 V |
| Reset Timeout Period | 140 ms (minimum); provides sufficient hold time for processor initialization and peripheral stabilization |
| Supply Current | 14 µA typical at 3.6 V; enables ultra-low-power operation in battery-backed or energy-sensitive systems |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C; qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial control, and telecom base station environments |
| PFI Input Threshold | 626.5 mV (±15.5 mV); allows precise external resistor-divider setup for custom power-fail detection on non-VCC rails |
| RST Output Type | Push-pull, active-low, referenced to VCC1; eliminates need for external pullup and ensures clean logic-level reset signaling |
Pinout & Package
MAX6728AKATID3+ is housed in an 8-pin SOT23 package (JEDEC MO-203AA), with 0.65 mm pitch, 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm footprint, and exposed thermal pad. Pin 1 marked via dot; recommended reflow profile per JEDEC J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RST | Active-low push-pull reset output referenced to VCC1; asserts low on VCC1/VCC2 undervoltage or MR low |
| 2 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference; must be connected to system ground plane for stable threshold accuracy |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual-reset input with internal 50 kΩ pullup to VCC1; debounced by design, no external RC needed |
| 4 | VCC2 | Secondary supply input (0.8–5.5 V); powers internal VCC2 comparator and sets RST2 reference if used |
| 5 | VCC1 | Primary supply input (0.8–5.5 V); powers core logic, references RST/PFO outputs, and pulls up MR |
| 6 | PFI | Power-fail comparator input; high-impedance node (±100 nA) for external resistor-divider monitoring of third rail |
| 7 | PFO | Active-low push-pull power-fail output referenced to VCC1; asserts when PFI falls below 626.5 mV, no timeout |
| 8 | RST2 | Active-low push-pull secondary reset output referenced to VCC2; mirrors RST behavior but driven from VCC2 domain |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent voltage monitoring | Simultaneous VCC1 (4.625 V) and VCC2 (3.075 V) supervision with separate comparators and hysteresis |
| Power-fail detection with dedicated I/O | PFI input and PFO output enable early warning of input rail collapse (e.g., battery or DC-DC pre-regulator) |
| Guaranteed reset validity at low VCC | Functional reset assertion guaranteed even when VCC1 or VCC2 drops to 0.8 V - critical for graceful shutdown |
| Push-pull RST and RST2 outputs | No external pullup required; RST referenced to VCC1, RST2 referenced to VCC2 - simplifies interface to mixed-rail systems |
| Immunity to short VCC transients | Withstands ≤20 µs negative-going glitches without spurious reset - reduces false triggers 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6723AKATID3+ | Includes RSTIN input for third-voltage monitoring (0.626 V reference); same 140 ms timeout, 8-pin SOT23, identical VTH1/VTH2 | Required when monitoring three supplies (e.g., VCC1, VCC2, and analog sensor rail); adds external resistor divider complexity | Select MAX6723AKATID3+ only if third-supply monitoring is mandatory; otherwise MAX6728AKATID3+ offers lower BOM count and reduced layout risk |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single-supply supervisor (3.3 V fixed threshold); 200 ms timeout; SOT23-6; no PFI/PFO or RST2; 2.5 µA quiescent current | Limited to single-rail monitoring; requires external circuitry for dual-rail coordination or power-fail signaling | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR only for cost-sensitive, single-rail designs where PFI/PFO and dual-RST are unnecessary |
Compared with MAX6723AKATID3+, MAX6728AKATID3+ removes RSTIN to reduce pin count and simplify layout, while retaining identical dual-threshold accuracy and PFI/PFO functionality; versus TPS3808G33DBVR, it delivers integrated dual-rail coordination and hardware power-fail signaling - eliminating 3–5 discrete components in typical implementations.

FAQ
What is the exact reset timeout period for MAX6728AKATID3+?
The MAX6728AKATID3+ has a minimum reset timeout period of 140 ms, as defined by the "D3" suffix in its part number. This value is guaranteed over the full -40°C to +125°C operating temperature range and is independent of supply voltage within 0.8 V to 5.5 V. The actual timeout may vary slightly due to process variation but remains ≥140 ms under all specified conditions. This timing ensures sufficient hold duration for modern microprocessors and FPGAs to complete boot sequence initialization.
Does MAX6728AKATID3+ support watchdog timer functionality?
No, MAX6728AKATID3+ does not include a watchdog timer. Its part number suffix and functional description confirm it belongs to the non-watchdog variant group within the MAX6728A series. Devices with watchdog capability carry "W" or "WD" in their ordering code (e.g., MAX6729A). The MAX6728AKATID3+ pinout omits WDI, and its internal block diagram shows no watchdog timer circuitry - making it suitable for applications where software-based supervision suffices.
Can MAX6728AKATID3+ monitor a negative supply voltage?
Yes, MAX6728AKATID3+ can monitor a negative supply using its PFI input with an appropriate resistor divider, as documented in Figure 3 of the datasheet. When configured for negative rail monitoring, PFO asserts high upon negative supply collapse (opposite polarity behavior). Accuracy depends on PFI threshold tolerance (±15.5 mV), resistor matching, and VCC stability. The device itself does not require negative supply - only the external divider network referenced to GND.
What is the function of the RST2 pin on MAX6728AKATID3+?
RST2 on MAX6728AKATID3+ is an active-low push-pull reset output referenced to VCC2, providing a second reset signal synchronized with the VCC2 domain. It asserts simultaneously with RST during VCC1/VCC2 undervoltage or MR activation, but its high-state voltage level follows VCC2 (not VCC1). This enables direct interfacing with peripherals powered by VCC2, avoiding level-shifting components and ensuring timing coherence across dual-rail subsystems.
Is MAX6728AKATID3+ RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, MAX6728AKATID3+ is RoHS-compliant and lead-free, as indicated by the "+" suffix in its part number per Maxim's packaging nomenclature. It meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU and is compatible with standard Pb-free reflow profiles (J-STD-020). The package uses matte tin plating over copper leadframe, with no exemptions claimed. Full compliance documentation, including material declarations and test reports, is available through Analog Devices' product change notifications.
