Product details
Overview
MAX6728KASDD3+T from Maxim Integrated is a triple-voltage microprocessor supervisory circuit in an 8-pin SOT23 package, monitoring VCC1 (4.625V threshold), VCC2 (3.075V threshold), and PFI (626.5mV internal reference) with 210ms reset timeout, push-pull RST output, manual reset input, watchdog timer, and power-fail detection - used in telecom power systems to ensure reliable boot and brownout recovery.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6728KASDD3+T datasheet, MAX6728KASDD3+T pinout, MAX6728KASDD3+T application, or MAX6728KASDD3+T equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, validated pin functions, confirmed triple-supply monitoring behavior, and real-world design context for multivoltage embedded systems requiring guaranteed reset validity down to 0.8V.
Technical Context
The MAX6728KASDD3+T integrates three independent voltage monitors: primary supply (VCC1) with factory-trimmed 4.625V reset threshold, secondary supply (VCC2) at 3.075V, and power-fail input (PFI) referenced to a 626.5mV internal bandgap. It asserts active-low RST and PFO outputs when any monitored voltage falls below its threshold.
It features a dual-mode watchdog timer (35s startup / 1.12s normal timeout), manual reset input with 50kΩ internal pullup, and push-pull RST output referenced to VCC1. Reset remains asserted for a guaranteed minimum 210ms after all monitored voltages recover above thresholds.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC1 Threshold | 4.625V (factory-trimmed falling threshold; ensures reset assertion before 5V rail collapse) |
| VCC2 Threshold | 3.075V (factory-trimmed falling threshold; matches common 3.3V I/O supply tolerance) |
| PFI Threshold | 626.5mV (internal reference; enables precise external resistor-divider setup for auxiliary supply monitoring) |
| Reset Timeout | 210ms min (D3 suffix; provides sufficient hold time for FPGA/ASIC configuration and memory initialization) |
| Supply Current | 14µA typ at 3.6V (ultra-low quiescent current enables use in battery-backed systems) |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C (industrial-grade temperature range suitable for telecom and industrial equipment) |
| Reset Validity | Down to VCC1 or VCC2 = 0.8V (guaranteed logic state integrity during deep brownout conditions) |
Pinout & Package
MAX6728KASDD3+T is housed in an 8-pin SOT23-8 package (2.0mm × 2.1mm × 1.25mm), surface-mount, lead-free (+T suffix), with exposed pad for thermal performance.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RST | Active-low push-pull reset output referenced to VCC1; drives high to ≥0.8×VCC1 when deasserted |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference for all internal comparators and logic; must be low-impedance connection |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input with 50kΩ internal pullup to VCC1; 1µs minimum pulse width required |
| 4 | PFO | Active-low push-pull power-fail output referenced to VCC1; asserts without timeout when PFI < 626.5mV |
| 5 | VCC2 | Secondary supply input (0.9V–3.3V); powers internal VCC2 monitor and RST2 logic (not used in MAX6728) |
| 6 | VCC1 | Primary supply input (1.8V–5.0V); powers device core and defines RST output reference |
| 7 | PFI | Power-fail input; high-impedance node (±25nA) for resistor-divider network to set custom trip point |
| 8 | NC | No connect; internally unconnected; must remain floating or tied to GND per layout best practice |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple-voltage monitoring | Simultaneous supervision of VCC1 (4.625V), VCC2 (3.075V), and PFI (626.5mV ref) enables full-system power sequencing validation |
| Dual-mode watchdog timer | 35s startup mode allows safe boot of complex processors; 1.12s normal mode detects runtime hangs without false triggers |
| Push-pull RST + PFO outputs | Eliminates need for external pullups; RST drives high to 0.8×VCC1, enabling direct interface to µP reset pins without contention |
| Guaranteed reset validity to 0.8V | Ensures deterministic reset assertion even during severe brownout - critical for data retention in SRAM/RTC circuits |
| Low 14µA supply current | Reduces system standby power by >90% vs. discrete supervisor solutions; extends battery life in portable equipment |
Applications
| Telecom Power Management | Industrial PLC Control Unit |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Monitoring primary 48V DC-DC converter output, secondary 3.3V I/O rail, and backup battery voltage in carrier-grade line cards. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Triple-supply supervisor asserting RST and PFO to halt processor execution and trigger graceful shutdown upon battery sag or main rail collapse.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar triple-voltage supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6729KASDD3+T | Same pinout and thresholds, but push-pull PFO instead of open-drain; identical RST behavior | Preferred where PFO must drive active-high logic directly without external pullup | Select MAX6729KASDD3+T if PFO load requires sourcing current; otherwise MAX6728KASDD3+T suffices for standard open-drain interrupt signaling |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Dual-supply monitor only (VDD/VDD2), no PFI input; 3.3V fixed VDD threshold; 200ms timeout | Lacks third-monitor capability and power-fail warning; limited to two-rail systems | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR only for cost-sensitive dual-rail designs where PFI functionality is unnecessary |
Compared with MAX6728KASDD3+T, MAX6729KASDD3+T offers identical supervision accuracy and timing but enables direct PFO interfacing to CMOS inputs, while TPS3808G33DBVR reduces feature count and cost at the expense of triple-monitoring capability and PFI flexibility.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for VCC1 on the MAX6728KASDD3+T?
The MAX6728KASDD3+T has a factory-trimmed VCC1 reset threshold of 4.625V (falling), specified with ±125mV tolerance (4.500V to 4.750V). This value is encoded in the "AS" suffix per Maxim's Reset Voltage Threshold Suffix Guide and is measured under standard conditions (TA = +25°C, VCC1 ramp rate 100mV/ms). The MAX6728KASDD3+T uses this precise threshold to protect 5V-tolerant microcontrollers from premature operation during power-up or brownout.
Does the MAX6728KASDD3+T support monitoring a negative supply voltage?
Yes - the MAX6728KASDD3+T can monitor negative supplies using the PFI input with an external resistor divider configured per Figure 3b in the datasheet. When the negative rail drops, PFI voltage rises above 626.5mV, causing PFO to deassert (go high), signaling power failure. The MAX6728KASDD3+T's high-impedance PFI input (±25nA) and guaranteed 626.5mV reference enable accurate negative-rail monitoring without additional components.
What is the function of Pin 8 (NC) on the MAX6728KASDD3+T?
Pin 8 on the MAX6728KASDD3+T is a no-connect (NC) terminal - internally unconnected and electrically isolated. It must not be soldered to any net; best practice is to leave it floating or tie it to GND for mechanical stability and EMI reduction. This pin exists for package compatibility across the MAX6715–MAX6729 family (e.g., MAX6725/MAX6726 use Pin 8 for RST2) but serves no functional role in the MAX6728KASDD3+T.
How does the watchdog timer behave after power-on reset in the MAX6728KASDD3+T?
After power-on or any reset event, the MAX6728KASDD3+T watchdog enters a 35s minimum startup mode, allowing ample time for system boot and initialization. Once the first valid WDI edge occurs, it transitions to 1.12s minimum normal mode. If no WDI transition happens within 35s, reset remains asserted. This dual-mode behavior prevents false timeouts during boot while ensuring rapid fault detection during runtime - a key design feature of the MAX6728KASDD3+T.
Can the MAX6728KASDD3+T operate with VCC1 = 1.8V?
Yes - the MAX6728KASDD3+T operates with VCC1 as low as 1.8V, and its VCC1 reset threshold remains valid at 4.625V only when VCC1 ≥ 1.8V. Below 1.8V, the internal reference and comparators may not function correctly. The device guarantees reset output validity down to VCC1 = 0.8V, but the 4.625V threshold specification applies strictly within the 1.8V–5.0V VCC1 operating range stated in the datasheet for the MAX6728KASDD3+T.
