Product details
Overview
MAX6728KATGD3 from Maxim Integrated is a dual-voltage microprocessor supervisory IC monitoring VCC1 (primary) and VCC2 (secondary) supply rails, with factory-trimmed reset thresholds (VTH1 = 4.625 V, VTH2 = 3.075 V), 210 ms minimum reset timeout, and integrated power-fail input/output (PFI/PFO). It asserts active-low open-drain RST and PFO outputs when either supply drops below threshold and maintains reset for the full timeout period - used in telecom power systems requiring reliable brownout detection and orderly shutdown.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6728KATGD3 datasheet, MAX6728KATGD3 pinout, MAX6728KATGD3 application, or MAX6728KATGD3 equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-rail voltage monitoring capability, guaranteed reset validity down to VCC1/VCC2 = 0.8 V, PFI/PFO compatibility with negative/positive supply monitoring, and AEC-Q100-qualified variants for automotive-grade designs.
Technical Context
The MAX6728KATGD3 integrates two independent voltage comparators with internal 4.625 V and 3.075 V thresholds for VCC1 and VCC2, respectively, plus a dedicated high-impedance PFI input referenced to a 626.5 mV internal reference. Its PFO output deasserts immediately upon PFI recovery - no timeout - enabling fast power-fail warning without system reset interference.
It features an open-drain RST output asserted low on VCC1/VCC2 undervoltage, MR assertion, or PFI fault, with reset held for exactly 210 ms (min) after all monitored conditions return to valid levels. The device operates across –40°C to +125°C and draws only 15 µA typical supply current at 3.6 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC1 Reset Threshold | 4.625 V (factory-trimmed, ±125 mV tolerance); ensures reliable reset assertion before core logic fails under 5 V rail sag |
| VCC2 Reset Threshold | 3.075 V (factory-trimmed, ±75 mV tolerance); matches common I/O supply rails like 3.3 V with margin for droop |
| Reset Timeout Period | 210 ms (min); provides sufficient time for processor initialization and peripheral stabilization post-power recovery |
| PFI Input Threshold | 626.5 mV (typical); enables precise external resistor-divider setup for custom power-fail trip points on any supply |
| Supply Current | 15 µA (typ at 3.6 V); minimizes quiescent load in battery-backed or energy-sensitive applications |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C; supports deployment in industrial control cabinets and automotive under-hood environments |
| Reset Output Type | Open-drain RST and PFO; allows flexible pull-up to any logic rail and wired-OR configuration with other reset sources |
Pinout & Package
MAX6728KATGD3 is housed in an 8-pin SOT23 package (SOT23-8), with exposed pad for thermal performance. Pin functions are validated per Maxim's official pin description table for MAX6728A/MAX6729A/MAX6797A family.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RST | Active-low reset output | Open-drain output asserted low during VCC1/VCC2 undervoltage, MR activation, or PFI fault; requires external pullup |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all internal comparators, watchdog, and output drivers; must be low-impedance |
| 3 - MR | Manual-reset input | Active-low input with 50 kΩ internal pullup to VCC1; initiates reset when pulled to GND for ≥1 µs |
| 4 - VCC2 | Secondary supply input | Powers internal circuitry when VCC2 > VCC1; input for 3.075 V comparator; valid range: 0.8 V to 5.5 V |
| 5 - VCC1 | Primary supply input | Main power source and input for 4.625 V comparator; powers device when VCC1 > VCC2; valid range: 0.8 V to 5.5 V |
| 6 - PFI | Power-fail monitor input | High-impedance comparator input (IIN ≤ ±100 nA); triggers PFO when voltage falls below 626.5 mV |
| 7 - PFO | Active-low power-fail output | Open-drain output asserted low when PFI < 626.5 mV; deasserts immediately on recovery - no timeout delay |
| 8 - NC | No connect | Unbonded pin; must remain floating or grounded per layout guidelines; no electrical function |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent voltage monitoring | Simultaneous supervision of primary (4.625 V) and secondary (3.075 V) rails eliminates need for discrete comparators and reduces BOM count |
| Power-fail input/output (PFI/PFO) | Enables early warning of supply degradation without asserting system reset - critical for controlled data save and shutdown sequences |
| Guaranteed reset validity down to 0.8 V | Ensures deterministic reset behavior during deep brownout conditions where many supervisors lose output control |
| Low 15 µA supply current | Reduces standby power in always-on subsystems such as remote telemetry nodes and smart sensors |
| –40°C to +125°C operation | Validated performance across full industrial and extended automotive temperature ranges without derating |
| Open-drain RST and PFO outputs | Supports mixed-voltage system integration and multi-source reset arbitration via wired-OR topology |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-supply supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6729KATGD3 | Same pinout and electrical specs, but includes watchdog timer input (WDI) not present on MAX6728KATGD3 | Required where software execution monitoring is needed alongside voltage supervision | Select MAX6729KATGD3 only if watchdog functionality is required; otherwise MAX6728KATGD3 offers lower complexity and cost |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single-supply supervisor (3.3 V only), no PFI/PFO, no dual-rail monitoring; 200 ms timeout, SOT23-6 package | Limited to single-rail systems; lacks power-fail warning capability and secondary rail supervision | Use only for cost-sensitive, single-rail applications where PFI/PFO and VCC2 monitoring are unnecessary |
Compared with MAX6729KATGD3, MAX6728KATGD3 removes WDI complexity for simpler firmware stacks; compared with TPS3808G33DBVR, it adds essential dual-rail and PFI/PFO functionality required in multivoltage embedded systems - making it the minimal-fit solution for telecom and industrial power sequencing.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for VCC1 and VCC2 on MAX6728KATGD3?
The MAX6728KATGD3 has factory-trimmed reset thresholds of 4.625 V (±125 mV) for VCC1 and 3.075 V (±75 mV) for VCC2, as defined by the "TG" suffix in its part number per Maxim's Reset Voltage Threshold Suffix Guide. These values are guaranteed over –40°C to +125°C and do not require external calibration.
Does MAX6728KATGD3 support power-fail detection on supplies other than VCC1 or VCC2?
Yes - the MAX6728KATGD3 supports external power-fail detection via its PFI pin, which compares an externally divided voltage against a 626.5 mV internal reference. This allows monitoring of battery inputs, negative rails, or auxiliary supplies independent of VCC1/VCC2, with PFO providing immediate active-low alert.
What is the reset timeout period for MAX6728KATGD3, and is it adjustable?
The MAX6728KATGD3 has a fixed minimum reset timeout period of 210 ms, indicated by the "D3" suffix. This value is factory-programmed and not adjustable via external components. The actual timeout may vary slightly with temperature but remains ≥210 ms across the full operating range.
Can MAX6728KATGD3 operate reliably when VCC1 or VCC2 drops below 1.0 V?
Yes - the MAX6728KATGD3 guarantees correct reset output logic state down to VCC1 or VCC2 = 0.8 V, verified across –40°C to +125°C. Below 0.8 V, reset behavior is not specified; for sub-0.8 V operation, external pulldown resistors on RST are recommended per Maxim Application Note 5321.
Is MAX6728KATGD3 pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX67xxA family?
MAX6728KATGD3 uses the 8-pin SOT23-8 package and shares identical pinout with MAX6725A–MAX6729A and MAX6797A variants. However, pin compatibility does not imply functional equivalence - features like WDI (present on MAX6729A) or RST2 (on MAX6727A) differ across variants despite shared footprint.
