Product details
Overview
MAX6728KASHD3+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 and open-drain PFO outputs, and guaranteed reset validity down to VCC1 or VCC2 = 0.8V - used in telecom power management and industrial multivoltage systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6728KASHD3+T datasheet, MAX6728KASHD3+T pinout, MAX6728KASHD3+T application, or MAX6728KASHD3+T equivalent, key selection factors include its dual-supply monitoring capability with factory-trimmed thresholds, integrated power-fail comparator with PFO output, watchdog timer support, manual reset input, and operation across –40°C to +85°C.
Technical Context
The MAX6728KASHD3+T implements independent voltage monitoring for primary (VCC1), secondary (VCC2), and auxiliary (PFI) rails using precision bandgap references and hysteresis-controlled comparators. Its reset logic asserts active-low RST when any monitored voltage falls below its threshold and holds for a fixed 210ms timeout after recovery.
It integrates a power-fail comparator with 2µs propagation delay from PFI to PFO, supports manual reset via MR with internal 50kΩ pullup, and guarantees valid reset state even when VCC1 or VCC2 drops to 0.8V - enabling robust brownout detection in battery-backed and distributed power systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC1 Reset Threshold | 4.625V (factory-trimmed, ±125mV tolerance) - sets precise brownout point for main system rail |
| VCC2 Reset Threshold | 3.075V (factory-trimmed, ±75mV tolerance) - monitors secondary supply such as I/O or memory voltage |
| PFI Input Threshold | 626.5mV (internal reference) - enables external resistor-divider to monitor third supply down to 0.62V |
| Reset Timeout Period | 210ms (min) - ensures sufficient hold time for processor initialization and peripheral stabilization |
| Supply Current | 14µA (typ at 3.6V) - ultra-low quiescent current extends battery life in portable equipment |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and telecom environments without derating |
| Reset Output Type | Push-pull RST, open-drain PFO - eliminates need for external pullups on RST; PFO requires external pullup |
Pinout & Package
MAX6728KASHD3+T is housed in an 8-pin SOT23-8 package (2.0mm × 2.1mm × 1.25mm), optimized for high-density PCB layouts and reflow-compatible assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RST | Active-low push-pull reset output - drives low during fault; no external pullup required |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference for all internal circuits and comparators |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input with internal 50kΩ pullup to VCC1 - debounced by design |
| 4 | PFO | Active-low open-drain power-fail output - requires external pullup; asserts when PFI < 626.5mV |
| 5 | VCC2 | Secondary supply input (0.9V–3.3V range) - powers internal VCC2 comparator and sets RST2 reference |
| 6 | VCC1 | Primary supply input (1.8V–5.0V range) - powers core logic and sets RST reference |
| 7 | PFI | Power-fail monitor input - high-impedance node for resistor-divider network to set custom trip point |
| 8 | NC | No connect - internally unused; must be left floating or tied to GND per layout best practice |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple-voltage supervision | Simultaneous monitoring of VCC1, VCC2, and PFI with independent thresholds - eliminates need for multiple discrete supervisors |
| Guaranteed reset validity to 0.8V | Ensures reliable reset assertion even during deep brownout conditions where VCC1 or VCC2 dips near 0.8V |
| Integrated power-fail comparator | 2µs PFI-to-PFO delay with 3mV hysteresis - enables fast, noise-immune early warning of supply collapse |
| Manual reset with internal pullup | 50kΩ internal MR pullup to VCC1 - simplifies board design by removing external resistor |
| Low supply current | 14µA typical at 3.6V - reduces system-level power budget impact in always-on monitoring applications |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar triple-voltage supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6729KASHD3+T | Push-pull PFO output (vs. open-drain in MAX6728KASHD3+T); identical VCC1/VCC2 thresholds and timeout | Eliminates need for external PFO pullup resistor; better suited for direct interface to CMOS inputs | Select MAX6729KASHD3+T when PFO must drive CMOS logic without external components |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Dual-supply only (VDD, VDDIO), no PFI input; 3.3V fixed VDD threshold, 200ms timeout, 1.6µA supply current | Lacks third-voltage monitoring and power-fail functionality; optimized for ultra-low-power single-rail systems | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR only if triple-monitoring is unnecessary and sub-2µA quiescent current is mandatory |
Compared with MAX6728KASHD3+T, MAX6729KASHD3+T offers identical supervision accuracy and timing but adds push-pull PFO for simplified interfacing, while TPS3808G33DBVR trades third-rail capability for lower power - making MAX6728KASHD3+T optimal for applications requiring PFI-based auxiliary monitoring with minimal BOM overhead.

FAQ
What is the exact reset timeout period for MAX6728KASHD3+T?
The MAX6728KASHD3+T has a minimum reset timeout period of 210ms, as indicated by the "D3" suffix in its part number. This value is factory-trimmed and guaranteed over temperature (–40°C to +85°C) and supply voltage (0.8V to 5.5V). The actual timeout may vary slightly due to process and temperature, but remains ≥210ms under all specified operating conditions - ensuring sufficient hold time for processor initialization sequences.
Does MAX6728KASHD3+T support monitoring a negative supply voltage?
Yes, MAX6728KASHD3+T can monitor a negative supply using the PFI input with an appropriate resistor-divider configuration as shown in Figure 3b of the datasheet. When the negative supply is valid, PFO asserts low; as the supply collapses, PFO deasserts. Accuracy depends on PFI threshold tolerance (±15.5mV), resistor matching, and VCC stability - and the device guarantees correct operation down to VCC1 or VCC2 = 0.8V during this monitoring.
What is the function of Pin 8 (NC) on MAX6728KASHD3+T?
Pin 8 on MAX6728KASHD3+T is a no-connect (NC) terminal - it is not bonded internally and serves no electrical function. Per Maxim's layout guidance, it should be left unconnected or tied to GND to improve thermal dissipation and reduce noise coupling. It must never be connected to VCC or driven externally, as this could compromise ESD robustness or cause undefined behavior in adjacent pins.
Can MAX6728KASHD3+T be used without connecting the MR pin?
Yes, MAX6728KASHD3+T can operate without external connection to the MR pin because it features an internal 50kΩ pullup resistor to VCC1. Leaving MR unconnected defaults it to logic-high, disabling manual reset. If MR is unused, no external components are required - though in noisy environments, a 0.1µF capacitor from MR to GND is recommended for added immunity against false resets.
How does the PFI-to-PFO propagation delay affect system response time in MAX6728KASHD3+T?
The PFI-to-PFO propagation delay in MAX6728KASHD3+T is 2µs (typical), measured from PFI crossing 626.5mV to PFO transitioning low. This sub-microsecond latency enables rapid power-fail detection - critical for initiating controlled shutdowns in systems like telecom equipment or medical devices. The delay remains stable across temperature and supply voltage, supporting deterministic real-time response without software intervention.
