Product details
Overview
MAX6728AKATWD3+T from Maxim Integrated is a dual-supply ultra-low-voltage microprocessor supervisory circuit with factory-trimmed reset thresholds for VCC1 (4.625V typ) and VCC2 (0.810V typ), 140ms minimum reset timeout, power-fail input/output (PFI/PFO), and watchdog timer disable capability. It monitors primary and secondary supplies in multivoltage embedded systems and asserts active-low open-drain RST and PFO outputs upon undervoltage or power-fail events.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6728AKATWD3+T datasheet, MAX6728AKATWD3+T pinout, MAX6728AKATWD3+T application, or MAX6728AKATWD3+T equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, SOT23-8 pin mapping, real-world use cases in telecom equipment and industrial controllers, and two validated alternative parts with documented functional differences.
Technical Context
The MAX6728AKATWD3+T integrates dual independent voltage comparators with hysteresis (0.5% of threshold), a 140ms reset timeout timer, and a dual-mode watchdog (35s startup / 1.12s normal). Its PFI input uses a 626.5mV internal reference to detect power-fail conditions, while RSTIN is not present-this variant lacks adjustable third-voltage monitoring.
All reset outputs are open-drain and require external pullups; RST is referenced to VCC1, PFO to VCC1, and RST2 (pin 5) to VCC2. The device guarantees valid reset assertion down to VCC1 or VCC2 = 0.8V and draws only 15µA typical supply current at 3.6V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC1 Reset Threshold | 4.625V (factory-trimmed, ±125mV tolerance); ensures reliable reset assertion on 5V rail brownout |
| VCC2 Reset Threshold | 0.810V (factory-trimmed, ±30mV tolerance); supports monitoring of sub-1V core supplies |
| Reset Timeout Period | 140ms (min); provides sufficient hold time for processor initialization after power recovery |
| Supply Current | 15µA (typ at 3.6V); enables battery-backed operation in portable equipment |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C; qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial control environments |
| PFI Threshold Voltage | 626.5mV (typ); allows precise power-fail detection via external resistor divider |
| Watchdog Disable | WDI unconnected state detected by 200nA current source; no external pullup required |
Pinout & Package
MAX6728AKATWD3+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 (multilayer board).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RST/RST1 | Active-low open-drain reset output referenced to VCC1; requires external pullup; asserts when VCC1/VCC2 drops below threshold or MR pulled low |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference for all internal comparators and logic; must be low-impedance connection |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual-reset input with internal 50kΩ pullup to VCC1; 1µs minimum pulse width required |
| 4 | VCC2 | Secondary supply input powering VCC2 comparator and RST2 output; also powers internal logic when VCC2 > VCC1 |
| 5 | RST2 | Active-low open-drain reset output referenced to VCC2; independent timing but shares same reset assertion logic as RST |
| 6 | VCC1 | Primary supply input powering main logic, VCC1 comparator, RST, and PFO; dominant supply when both VCC1 and VCC2 are present |
| 7 | PFI | Power-fail input with 626.5mV internal reference; high-impedance node for resistor-divider monitoring of auxiliary supply |
| 8 | PFO | Active-low open-drain power-fail output referenced to VCC1; asserts immediately on PFI < 626.5mV, no timeout delay |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent voltage monitoring | Simultaneous supervision of 5V (VCC1) and 0.8V (VCC2) rails with separate thresholds and hysteresis |
| Open-drain RST and PFO outputs | Enables wired-OR reset bus sharing across multiple supervisors without contention |
| Power-fail detection with fast response | 2µs PFI-to-PFO propagation delay enables early warning before system shutdown |
| Guaranteed reset validity down to 0.8V | Ensures deterministic reset behavior during deep brownout conditions common in automotive start-stop cycles |
| Watchdog disable by floating WDI | Eliminates need for external pullup/pulldown resistors when watchdog function is unused |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-supply supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6729AKATWD3+T | Push-pull RST and PFO outputs (vs. open-drain on MAX6728AKATWD3+T); identical thresholds, timeout, and PFI specs | Eliminates need for external pullup resistors; unsuitable where wired-OR reset bus is required | Select MAX6729AKATWD3+T when driving single-load reset lines and minimizing external components |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single-supply (VDD only); 3.3V fixed threshold; 200ms timeout; no PFI/PFO or RST2; SOT23-6 package | Lacks dual-rail monitoring and power-fail functionality; suitable only for basic 3.3V system supervision | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR for cost-sensitive, single-rail applications where auxiliary monitoring is unnecessary |
Compared with MAX6728AKATWD3+T, MAX6729AKATWD3+T offers push-pull drive for simpler interfacing but sacrifices bus-sharing capability, while TPS3808G33DBVR reduces feature set and package size at the expense of dual-supply and power-fail support.

FAQ
What is the reset threshold voltage for VCC1 on the MAX6728AKATWD3+T?
The MAX6728AKATWD3+T has a factory-trimmed VCC1 reset threshold of 4.625V (typical), with a guaranteed range of 4.500V to 4.750V at 25°C. This value is fixed per the 'K' suffix in the part number and applies across the full -40°C to +125°C operating temperature range with ±20ppm/°C tempco.
Does the MAX6728AKATWD3+T support monitoring a third voltage rail?
No, the MAX6728AKATWD3+T does not include an RSTIN input and therefore cannot monitor a third voltage rail. It is a dual-supply supervisor only. For triple-voltage monitoring, consider MAX6723AKATWD3+T or MAX6725AKATWD3+T, which feature the RSTIN pin with 626.5mV internal reference.
What is the function of Pin 7 (PFI) on the MAX6728AKATWD3+T?
Pin 7 (PFI) is the power-fail input with a 626.5mV internal reference voltage. When the voltage at PFI falls below this threshold-typically set via an external resistor divider-the device asserts the PFO output low within 2µs. PFI can monitor any supply, including negative rails, and operates independently of the VCC1/VCC2 reset logic.
How is the watchdog timer disabled on the MAX6728AKATWD3+T?
The watchdog timer on the MAX6728AKATWD3+T is disabled by leaving the WDI pin unconnected. An internal 200nA current source detects the floating state, automatically disabling watchdog functionality without requiring external pullup or pulldown resistors.
What package type and footprint does the MAX6728AKATWD3+T use?
The MAX6728AKATWD3+T uses an 8-pin SOT23 package (package code K8SN+1, JEDEC outline 21-0078) with 0.65mm lead pitch, 2.9mm × 1.6mm body size, and land pattern number 90-0176. It is compatible with standard SOT23-8 reflow profiles and supports automated assembly.
