Product details
Overview
MAX6728KASVD3+T from Maxim Integrated is a triple-voltage microprocessor supervisory IC monitoring VCC1 (primary), VCC2 (secondary), and PFI (power-fail input) with factory-trimmed thresholds of 3.075V (VTH1), 2.925V (VTH2), and 626.5mV (VPFI); reset timeout of 210ms (min); push-pull active-low RST and open-drain active-low PFO outputs; operates from -40°C to +85°C in 8-pin SOT23 package for multivoltage embedded power sequencing.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6728KASVD3+T datasheet, MAX6728KASVD3+T pinout, MAX6728KASVD3+T application, or MAX6728KASVD3+T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed reset validity down to VCC1/VCC2 = 0.8V, immunity to short VCC transients, 14µA typical supply current at 3.6V, and integrated power-fail detection with 2µs PFI-to-PFO delay - critical for orderly shutdown in telecom and industrial systems.
Technical Context
The MAX6728KASVD3+T implements dual independent voltage comparators for VCC1 and VCC2 plus a dedicated power-fail comparator referenced to a 626.5mV internal bandgap, enabling simultaneous monitoring of three distinct supply rails. Its reset logic asserts RST low if any monitored voltage falls below its threshold and holds it for a fixed 210ms minimum timeout after all voltages recover.
It integrates a manual reset input (MR) with 50kΩ internal pullup and supports power-fail warning via PFI/PFO without requiring external timing components. The device guarantees correct reset output state when either VCC1 or VCC2 remains ≥0.8V, ensuring robust brownout detection during partial supply collapse.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC1 Threshold | 3.075V (typ), factory-trimmed ±1.5% - ensures precise primary supply monitoring for 3.3V systems |
| VCC2 Threshold | 2.925V (typ), factory-trimmed ±1.5% - enables accurate secondary rail supervision (e.g., I/O supply) |
| PFI Threshold | 626.5mV (typ), ±2.5mV hysteresis - provides stable power-fail detection for preregulated inputs or batteries |
| Reset Timeout | 210ms (min), D3 suffix - guarantees sufficient processor hold time for full system initialization |
| Supply Current | 14µA (typ) at 3.6V - minimizes quiescent load in battery-operated or low-power applications |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and telecom equipment environments |
| Package | 8-pin SOT23 - compact footprint compatible with high-density PCB layouts |
Pinout & Package
MAX6728KASVD3+T is housed in an 8-pin SOT23 package (3.0mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm body, 0.65mm pitch), optimized for space-constrained designs and reflow-compatible assembly.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RST | Active-low push-pull reset output referenced to VCC1; drives low on fault and holds for 210ms timeout |
| 2 | GND | System ground reference for all internal comparators and logic |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input with 50kΩ internal pullup to VCC1; forces reset when pulled low |
| 4 | PFO | Active-low open-drain power-fail output; asserts immediately when PFI < 626.5mV (no timeout) |
| 5 | VCC2 | Secondary supply input (0.9V–3.3V range); powers internal circuitry and sets VCC2 threshold reference |
| 6 | VCC1 | Primary supply input (1.8V–5.0V range); powers core logic and sets VCC1 threshold reference |
| 7 | PFI | Power-fail monitor input; high-impedance node comparing external voltage to 626.5mV internal reference |
| 8 | NC | No connect - internally unconnected; must be left floating or tied to GND per layout best practice |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple-voltage monitoring | Simultaneous supervision of VCC1, VCC2, and PFI with independent thresholds eliminates need for multiple discrete supervisors |
| Guaranteed reset validity | Operates correctly with VCC1 or VCC2 ≥ 0.8V - ensures reliable reset assertion during deep brownout conditions |
| Power-fail interrupt capability | PFO asserts instantly on PFI undervoltage (2µs delay), enabling software-triggered graceful shutdown before full power loss |
| Low-glitch susceptibility | Immune to VCC transients ≤20µs (at 100mV overdrive) - prevents spurious resets in noisy power environments |
| Minimal quiescent consumption | 14µA typical ICC at 3.6V - extends battery life in portable equipment without compromising supervision fidelity |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6729KA3D3+T | Push-pull PFO output (vs. open-drain on MAX6728KASVD3+T); identical VTH1/VTH2/VPFI and 210ms timeout | Eliminates need for external PFO pullup resistor; better suited for driving CMOS inputs directly | Select MAX6729KA3D3+T when PFO must drive logic without external components; otherwise MAX6728KASVD3+T offers lower BOM count for open-drain interfacing |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Dual-supply monitor only (no PFI); 3.3V fixed VDD threshold; 200ms timeout; 2.5µA IQ | Lacks third-voltage monitoring capability; requires separate PFI circuit for power-fail detection | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR only if triple-monitoring is unnecessary and ultra-low IQ (<3µA) is prioritized over PFI integration |
Compared with MAX6729KA3D3+T and TPS3808G33DBVR, MAX6728KASVD3+T uniquely combines open-drain PFO flexibility, guaranteed 0.8V operation, and factory-trimmed triple-threshold precision - making it optimal for space-constrained industrial and telecom systems requiring both robust reset and configurable power-fail signaling.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for VCC1 on the MAX6728KASVD3+T?
The MAX6728KASVD3+T has a factory-trimmed VCC1 reset threshold of 3.075V (typical), with ±1.5% tolerance over temperature and supply variations. This value is encoded in the "AS" suffix per Maxim's Reset Voltage Threshold Suffix Guide and is verified across the full -40°C to +85°C operating range.
Does the MAX6728KASVD3+T support monitoring a negative supply voltage?
Yes, the MAX6728KASVD3+T can monitor negative supplies using the PFI input with an appropriate resistor-divider network as shown in Figure 3b of the datasheet. When the negative supply drops, PFO transitions high, enabling interrupt-driven response - a capability confirmed in the "Monitoring a Negative Voltage" section of the official documentation.
What is the function of Pin 8 (NC) on the MAX6728KASVD3+T?
Pin 8 on the MAX6728KASVD3+T is designated NC (No Connect) and is internally unconnected. It must be left floating or tied to GND per Maxim's layout recommendations to avoid parasitic coupling; it does not serve any electrical function in the MAX6728KASVD3+T circuit operation.
How does the power-fail output (PFO) behave relative to the reset output (RST) on the MAX6728KASVD3+T?
The PFO output on MAX6728KASVD3+T asserts immediately (2µs typical delay) when PFI falls below 626.5mV and deasserts instantly when PFI rises above threshold - with no timeout period. In contrast, RST remains asserted for the full 210ms minimum timeout after all monitored voltages recover, providing distinct roles: PFO for fast warning, RST for guaranteed system reset hold.
Is the MAX6728KASVD3+T compatible with 1.8V-only systems?
Yes, the MAX6728KASVD3+T supports VCC1 as low as 1.8V and VCC2 as low as 0.9V, with guaranteed reset validity down to 0.8V on either supply. Its 3.075V/2.925V thresholds are appropriate for 3.3V/2.5V systems, but the device itself functions correctly in 1.8V-biased configurations when used with external resistor dividers on PFI for auxiliary rail monitoring.
