Product details
Overview
MAX6728KAYDD3+T from Maxim Integrated is a triple-voltage microprocessor supervisory circuit in an 8-pin SOT23 package, monitoring VCC1 (primary), VCC2 (secondary), and PFI (power-fail input) with factory-trimmed thresholds of 4.625V (VTH1), 3.075V (VTH2), and 626.5mV (VPFI), 210ms minimum reset timeout, and open-drain PFO output - used for orderly shutdown in telecom power systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6728KAYDD3+T datasheet, MAX6728KAYDD3+T pinout, MAX6728KAYDD3+T application, or MAX6728KAYDD3+T equivalent, key selection factors include its triple-supply monitoring capability, guaranteed reset validity down to VCC1/VCC2 = 0.8V, 14µA typical supply current at 3.6V, and integrated power-fail comparator with 2µs propagation delay.
Technical Context
The MAX6728KAYDD3+T implements independent dual-threshold voltage supervision (VCC1/VCC2) plus a dedicated power-fail comparator (PFI→PFO), all referenced to internal 626.5mV bandgap references with ±20ppm/°C tempco. Its reset logic asserts RST low when any monitored voltage falls below its threshold and holds for a fixed 210ms timeout after recovery.
It integrates a manual reset input (MR) with 50kΩ internal pullup and 200ns MR-to-reset delay, and supports open-drain PFO output referenced to VCC1 - enabling direct interface to µP interrupt lines without external level-shifting. No watchdog or RSTIN functionality is included in this variant.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC1 Threshold | 4.625V (typ), factory-trimmed - ensures reliable reset assertion during 5V rail brownout before critical logic fails |
| VCC2 Threshold | 3.075V (typ), factory-trimmed - matches common 3.3V I/O supply tolerance for coordinated system reset |
| PFI Threshold | 626.5mV (typ), internal reference - enables precise power-fail detection on auxiliary rails via resistor divider |
| Reset Timeout | 210ms (min), D3 suffix - provides sufficient hold time for CPU initialization and peripheral stabilization |
| Supply Current | 14µA (typ) at 3.6V - minimizes quiescent load in battery-backed or energy-sensitive applications |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and telecom equipment environments without derating |
| Reset Valid Down To | VCC1 or VCC2 ≥ 0.8V - guarantees correct reset state during deep undervoltage conditions |
Pinout & Package
MAX6728KAYDD3+T is housed in an 8-pin SOT23-8 package (2.0mm × 2.1mm, 0.65mm pitch), thermally enhanced for high-density PCB layouts and compatible with standard reflow profiles.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RST | Active-low open-drain reset output - requires external pullup; asserts low on VCC1/VCC2/PFI fault or MR activation |
| 2 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference - must be connected to system ground plane for stable threshold accuracy |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input - internally pulled up to VCC1; 200ns delay to RST assertion ensures clean debounced trigger |
| 4 | PFO | Active-low open-drain power-fail output - asserts low when PFI < 626.5mV; deasserts immediately (no timeout) |
| 5 | VCC2 | Secondary supply input - powers internal VCC2 comparator and sets VTH2 = 3.075V threshold |
| 6 | VCC1 | Primary supply input - powers core logic and sets VTH1 = 4.625V threshold; dominates supply selection |
| 7 | PFI | Power-fail monitor input - high-impedance (±25nA) node for resistor-divider connection to auxiliary rail |
| 8 | NC | No connect - internally unconnected; must remain floating or grounded per layout best practices |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual factory-trimmed voltage thresholds | VTH1 = 4.625V, VTH2 = 3.075V - eliminates external resistor networks and calibration for primary/secondary rail monitoring |
| Integrated power-fail comparator with PFO | 626.5mV reference, 2µs PFI→PFO delay - enables early warning of supply collapse without µP intervention |
| Guaranteed reset validity at ultra-low VCC | Operates correctly with VCC1 or VCC2 ≥ 0.8V - supports robust reset behavior during severe brownout events |
| Low-quiescent-current supervision | 14µA typical ICC at 3.6V - extends battery life in portable/network edge devices with always-on monitoring |
| Immunity to short VCC transients | Withstands ≤20µs glitches below threshold (per 100mV overdrive) - prevents spurious resets in noisy power environments |
Applications
| Telecom Power Sequencing | Industrial PLC I/O Module |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar triple-voltage supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6729KAyDD3+T | Push-pull PFO output instead of open-drain; identical thresholds, timeout, and pinout | Requires no external pullup on PFO; better suited for driving CMOS inputs directly | Select MAX6729KAyDD3+T when interfacing PFO to µP GPIO without external biasing |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Dual-supply only (VDD, VDD2); no PFI/PFO; 3.3V fixed VDD2 threshold; 200ms timeout | Lacks auxiliary rail monitoring - cannot replace PFI-based battery/fail-detection function | Use TPS3808G33DBVR only if third-rail monitoring is handled externally or unnecessary |
Compared with MAX6728KAYDD3+T, MAX6729KAyDD3+T offers push-pull PFO for simplified interfacing but same supervision coverage, while TPS3808G33DBVR reduces cost and footprint for dual-rail-only systems but omits critical power-fail functionality required in telecom and medical designs.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for VCC1 on the MAX6728KAYDD3+T?
The MAX6728KAYDD3+T has a factory-trimmed VCC1 reset threshold of 4.625V (typical), with min/max values of 4.500V and 4.750V respectively, as defined by the 'Y' suffix in its part number per Maxim's Reset Voltage Threshold Suffix Guide. This value is guaranteed over -40°C to +85°C and exhibits ±20ppm/°C tempco.
Does the MAX6728KAYDD3+T include a watchdog timer function?
No, the MAX6728KAYDD3+T does not include a watchdog timer. Per Maxim's Selector Guide, only MAX6721 through MAX6729 variants with 'W' in their ordering suffix incorporate WDI functionality; MAX6728KAYDD3+T is designated for triple-supply monitoring with PFI/PFO and manual reset only.
What is the function of Pin 8 (NC) on the MAX6728KAYDD3+T?
Pin 8 on the MAX6728KAYDD3+T is a no-connect (NC) terminal - it is internally unconnected and serves no electrical function. Maxim's datasheet specifies it must remain unconnected or tied to GND in PCB layout; routing signals or applying voltage to this pin may compromise device reliability or parametric performance.
Can the MAX6728KAYDD3+T monitor a negative supply voltage?
Yes, the MAX6728KAYDD3+T can monitor a negative supply using its PFI input with an external resistor divider configured per Figure 3b in the datasheet. When the negative rail drops, PFO goes high - enabling interrupt generation or reset assertion. Accuracy depends on PFI threshold tolerance (±15.5mV), divider ratio, and VCC stability.
What is the maximum allowable glitch duration that will not trigger reset on MAX6728KAYDD3+T?
The MAX6728KAYDD3+T tolerates VCC transients up to 20µs in duration when the overdrive is 100mV below threshold (per Typical Operating Characteristic toc06). For deeper excursions - e.g., 200mV below VTH - the maximum glitch width drops to ~8µs. A 0.1µF ceramic capacitor at VCC improves immunity beyond these limits.
