Product details
Overview
MAX6728KASYD3+ 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 sequencing and multivoltage server management.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6728KASYD3+ datasheet, MAX6728KASYD3+ pinout, MAX6728KASYD3+ application, or MAX6728KASYD3+ equivalent, key selection criteria include triple-supply monitoring capability, integrated power-fail comparator with PFO output, 210ms factory-set reset timeout, push-pull RST logic compatibility with bidirectional µP reset pins, and operation across –40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range.
Technical Context
The MAX6728KASYD3+ 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 primary, secondary, and auxiliary supply rails. Its reset assertion logic combines ORed fault conditions (VCC1/VCC2 undervoltage, PFI trip, MR low) with a monolithic timeout timer.
It features a push-pull active-low RST output referenced to VCC1 and an open-drain active-low PFO output referenced to VCC1, both asserted independently of each other; PFO deasserts immediately upon PFI recovery without timeout delay, while RST remains asserted for the full 210ms period after all monitored voltages exceed thresholds.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC1 Threshold | 4.625V (factory-trimmed, ±125mV tolerance) - sets precise brownout detection point for main system rail |
| VCC2 Threshold | 3.075V (factory-trimmed, ±75mV tolerance) - enables reliable monitoring of I/O or memory supply |
| PFI Threshold | 626.5mV (internal reference, ±15.5mV) - allows resistor-divider-based monitoring of third supply down to 0.62V |
| Reset Timeout | 210ms (minimum) - ensures sufficient hold time for processor initialization and peripheral stabilization |
| Supply Current | 14µA typical at 3.6V - minimizes quiescent load on battery-backed or low-power systems |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - supports deployment in industrial and telecom equipment without derating |
| Reset Validity | Down to VCC1 or VCC2 = 0.8V - guarantees correct reset state during deep brownout or power ramp-down |
Pinout & Package
MAX6728KASYD3+ uses an 8-pin SOT23-8 package (3.0mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm body, 0.65mm pitch), optimized for high-density PCB layouts in space-constrained telecom and embedded applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RST | Active-low push-pull reset output referenced to VCC1; asserts when any monitored supply fails or MR is pulled low |
| 2 | GND | System ground reference for all internal comparators and output drivers |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input with 50kΩ internal pullup to VCC1; forces reset on logic-low pulse ≥1µs |
| 4 | PFO | Active-low open-drain power-fail output referenced to VCC1; asserts immediately when PFI < 626.5mV, no timeout |
| 5 | VCC2 | Secondary supply input powering VCC2 comparator and RST2 logic (not used in MAX6728); must be connected for proper operation |
| 6 | VCC1 | Primary supply input powering core logic, RST driver, and PFO driver; defines reset output voltage levels |
| 7 | PFI | Power-fail monitor input with 626.5mV internal reference; high-impedance node for external resistor-divider network |
| 8 | RSTIN | Unused in MAX6728KASYD3+; tied internally to VCC1 per device variant configuration - not functional |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple-supply monitoring | Simultaneous VCC1 (4.625V), VCC2 (3.075V), and PFI (626.5mV) supervision eliminates need for discrete comparators or additional supervisors |
| Independent PFO output | Open-drain PFO asserts instantly on power-fail event and deasserts immediately on recovery - enables real-time power-good signaling without reset interference |
| Push-pull RST with low-VCC validity | RST remains logically valid down to VCC1 = 0.8V and drives full rail-to-rail logic levels - ensures robust reset assertion during brownout transitions |
| 210ms factory-set timeout | Monolithic timeout period calibrated over temperature - removes external RC timing components and associated drift/error sources |
| Immunity to VCC transients | Withstands negative-going VCC glitches ≤20µs at 100mV overdrive - prevents spurious resets in noisy power environments |
Applications
| Telecom Power Sequencing | Server Board Management |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar triple-supply supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6729KASYD3+ | Same pinout and thresholds, but push-pull PFO instead of open-drain; higher drive strength (800µA sink) | Requires external pullup if interfacing to open-collector interrupt lines; better suited for driving LEDs or direct µP GPIO | Select MAX6729KASYD3+ when PFO must drive heavier loads or interface to CMOS inputs without pullup |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Dual-supply monitor only (no PFI/PFO), 3.3V fixed VDD threshold, 200ms timeout, SOT23-6 package | Lacks third-supply monitoring and independent power-fail signaling; requires external circuitry for auxiliary rail supervision | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR only when system has exactly two rails and PFI functionality is unnecessary |
Compared with MAX6728KASYD3+, MAX6729KASYD3+ offers stronger PFO drive but less flexibility for open-drain interrupt buses, while TPS3808G33DBVR reduces cost and footprint but sacrifices triple-monitoring capability and independent PFO signaling - making MAX6728KASYD3+ optimal for systems requiring autonomous power-fail response without µP intervention.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for VCC1 on MAX6728KASYD3+?
The MAX6728KASYD3+ has a factory-trimmed VCC1 reset threshold of 4.625V, with a guaranteed tolerance of ±125mV over temperature. This value is encoded in the "SY" suffix per Maxim's Reset Voltage Threshold Suffix Guide and is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under VTH1 parameter for the "S" threshold option.
Does MAX6728KASYD3+ support monitoring a third supply voltage via RSTIN?
No, MAX6728KASYD3+ does not use the RSTIN pin for third-supply monitoring. Per the Selector Guide and Pin Description, MAX6728 implements PFI/PFO for auxiliary monitoring - RSTIN is internally tied to VCC1 and nonfunctional. The device monitors VCC1, VCC2, and PFI exclusively.
What is the function of the PFO pin on MAX6728KASYD3+?
The PFO pin on MAX6728KASYD3+ is an active-low open-drain power-fail output that asserts immediately when the PFI input falls below 626.5mV and deasserts immediately when PFI rises above threshold - with no timeout delay. It is designed for real-time power-fail interrupts, not reset generation.
Can MAX6728KASYD3+ operate with VCC1 below 1.8V?
Yes, MAX6728KASYD3+ guarantees valid reset output logic states down to VCC1 = 0.8V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Detailed Description sections. Its internal comparators and push-pull RST driver remain fully functional across this extended low-voltage range.
What is the reset timeout period for MAX6728KASYD3+ and how is it set?
The MAX6728KASYD3+ has a factory-set minimum reset timeout period of 210ms, indicated by the "D3" suffix in the part number. This value is implemented using a monolithic timer circuit and is guaranteed over temperature without external components - eliminating timing uncertainty from RC networks.
