Product details
Overview
MAX6728KASHD3 from Maxim Integrated is a dual-voltage microprocessor supervisory circuit in an 8-pin SOT23 package, monitoring VCC1 (primary) and VCC2 (secondary) supplies with factory-trimmed reset thresholds of 4.625V (VTH1) and 3.075V (VTH2), 210ms minimum reset timeout, and integrated power-fail input/output (PFI/PFO). It asserts active-low reset during undervoltage or power-fail events and supports industrial systems requiring guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 0.8V.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6728KASHD3 datasheet, MAX6728KASHD3 pinout, MAX6728KASHD3 application, or MAX6728KASHD3 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, confirmed SOT23-8 terminal mapping, real-world multivoltage supervision use cases, and two validated alternative parts with documented functional and application differences.
Technical Context
The MAX6728KASHD3 implements dual independent voltage comparators for VCC1 and VCC2, each with ±0.5% hysteresis and 20 ppm/°C tempco, ensuring stable threshold behavior across -40°C to +125°C. Its internal reset timeout timer guarantees ≥210ms assertion after all monitored voltages recover.
This device integrates a dedicated PFI comparator referenced to a 626.5mV internal bandgap, driving an open-drain PFO output with 2µs propagation delay; it also features a manual-reset input (MR) with 50kΩ internal pullup and 1µs minimum pulse width support.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC1 Reset Threshold | 4.625V (typ), factory-trimmed - ensures reliable reset assertion when primary supply drops below nominal 5V rail |
| VCC2 Reset Threshold | 3.075V (typ), factory-trimmed - matches common 3.3V secondary rails without external resistor networks |
| Reset Timeout Period | 210ms (min) - provides sufficient hold time for full system initialization before releasing µP reset |
| Supply Current | 15µA (typ) at 3.6V - enables long battery life in portable equipment with minimal quiescent load |
| PFI Threshold Voltage | 626.5mV (typ) - allows precise external power-fail detection via resistor divider on any supply rail |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial control environments |
| Reset Output Type | Open-drain RST and PFO - permits flexible logic-level translation and wired-OR reset bus configurations |
Pinout & Package
MAX6728KASHD3 is housed in an 8-pin SOT23 package (JEDEC MO-203AA), with 0.65mm pitch, 2.9mm × 1.6mm footprint, and exposed pad for thermal enhancement.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RST | Active-low open-drain reset output - asserted when VCC1/VCC2 drop below thresholds or PFI falls low; requires external pullup |
| 2 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference - common return path for all internal comparators and logic |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual-reset input - internal 50kΩ pullup to VCC1; 1µs minimum pulse width ensures noise immunity |
| 4 | VCC2 | Secondary supply input - powers internal VCC2 comparator and sets RST2 reference (not used in MAX6728 variant) |
| 5 | VCC1 | Primary supply input - powers core logic, resets internal timers, and references RST/PFO outputs |
| 6 | PFI | Power-fail input - high-impedance node comparing external voltage to 626.5mV reference |
| 7 | PFO | Active-low open-drain power-fail output - asserts immediately on PFI undervoltage, no timeout delay |
| 8 | RST2 | Secondary reset output - not implemented in MAX6728KASHD3; left unconnected per datasheet pin mapping |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent voltage monitoring | Simultaneous VCC1 (4.625V) and VCC2 (3.075V) supervision eliminates need for discrete comparators or dual ICs |
| Guaranteed reset validity down to 0.8V | Ensures deterministic reset state even during deep brownout conditions before full power collapse |
| Integrated PFI/PFO power-fail channel | Enables early warning of supply degradation without adding external comparators or ADC resources |
| Low 15µA supply current | Reduces standby power in always-on subsystems such as IoT edge nodes or battery-backed controllers |
| Industrial temperature range (-40°C to +125°C) | Supports deployment in harsh environments including motor drives, base stations, and automotive ECUs |
Applications
| Telecom Power Management | Industrial PLC I/O Modules |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-voltage supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6729KASHD3 | Identical pinout, same VTH1/VTH2 thresholds and 210ms timeout, but includes watchdog input (WDI) functionality | Required where µP activity monitoring is needed alongside voltage supervision | Select MAX6729KASHD3 only if watchdog timer integration is mandatory; otherwise MAX6728KASHD3 reduces BOM count and layout complexity |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single-supply (3.3V only), 3% threshold accuracy vs. MAX6728KASHD3's 0.5%, no PFI/PFO, 200ms timeout | Limited to 3.3V-only systems; lacks auxiliary power-fail monitoring capability | Use TPS3808G33DBVR only in cost-sensitive single-rail designs where PFI functionality is unnecessary and ±3% threshold tolerance is acceptable |
Compared with MAX6728KASHD3, MAX6729KASHD3 adds watchdog capability at identical voltage monitoring specs, while TPS3808G33DBVR trades dual-rail flexibility and precision for lower unit cost in simpler 3.3V-only applications.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for VCC1 on MAX6728KASHD3?
The MAX6728KASHD3 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 by the "K" suffix in the part number and applies across the full -40°C to +125°C operating range with ±20 ppm/°C tempco. The MAX6728KASHD3 does not support adjustable VCC1 thresholds.
Does MAX6728KASHD3 support manual reset functionality?
Yes, MAX6728KASHD3 includes an active-low manual-reset input (MR) on Pin 3. It features an internal 50kΩ pullup to VCC1, accepts CMOS-compatible logic levels, and requires a minimum 1µs low pulse to assert reset. The reset remains active for the full 210ms timeout period after MR returns high, making it suitable for front-panel reset buttons or system-level fault recovery signals.
Can MAX6728KASHD3 monitor a third voltage rail?
No, MAX6728KASHD3 is a dual-supply supervisor and does not include the RSTIN input required for third-rail monitoring. That function is present only in variants like MAX6723A–MAX6727A. MAX6728KASHD3 provides dedicated PFI input for power-fail detection on a separate rail, but PFI is not configurable as a general-purpose third-voltage monitor with adjustable threshold.
What is the purpose of the PFI and PFO pins on MAX6728KASHD3?
The PFI (Pin 6) is a high-impedance input referenced to a 626.5mV internal bandgap; when external voltage applied to PFI falls below this threshold, the PFO (Pin 7) - an active-low open-drain output - asserts immediately with 2µs typical delay. Unlike RST, PFO has no timeout and deasserts instantly when PFI recovers, enabling real-time power-fail interrupts without affecting system reset timing.
Is MAX6728KASHD3 pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX67xxA family?
MAX6728KASHD3 uses an 8-pin SOT23 package and shares pinout compatibility with MAX6725A–MAX6729A and MAX6797A. However, pin functions differ across variants: RST2 (Pin 8) is unused in MAX6728KASHD3 but active in MAX6725A/MAX6726A; WDI is absent here but present in MAX6729A. Always verify signal mapping against the specific variant's pin description table.
