Product details
Overview
MAX6728KAYHD3+ 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 power-fail detection for reliable system boot and brownout protection in multivoltage embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6728KAYHD3+ datasheet, MAX6728KAYHD3+ pinout, MAX6728KAYHD3+ application, or MAX6728KAYHD3+ equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, exact pin functions, real-world use cases in telecom and industrial equipment, and two validated alternative parts with documented functional and timing differences.
Technical Context
The MAX6728KAYHD3+ integrates three independent voltage monitors: primary supply (VCC1) with factory-trimmed 4.625V reset threshold, secondary supply (VCC2) at 3.075V, and power-fail input (PFI) referenced to a 626.5mV internal bandgap. It asserts active-low reset (RST) when any monitored voltage falls below its threshold and maintains reset for a guaranteed minimum 210ms after recovery.
It features open-drain PFO output that deasserts immediately upon PFI recovery (no timeout), push-pull RST referenced to VCC1, manual reset input (MR) with 50kΩ internal pullup, and guaranteed reset validity down to VCC1 or VCC2 = 0.8V - enabling robust operation during deep brownouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC1 Reset Threshold | 4.625V (factory-trimmed, ±1.5% over -40°C to +85°C) |
| VCC2 Reset Threshold | 3.075V (factory-trimmed, ±1.5% over -40°C to +85°C) |
| PFI Threshold | 626.5mV (internal reference, ±2.5% over temperature) |
| Reset Timeout Period | 210ms (minimum, D3 suffix; stable across temperature) |
| Supply Current | 14µA typical at 3.6V (enables ultra-low-power battery backup operation) |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +85°C (industrial-grade qualification) |
| Package | 8-pin SOT23 (2.9mm × 1.6mm footprint, surface-mount compatible) |
Pinout & Package
MAX6728KAYHD3+ uses an 8-pin SOT23 package (SOT23-8), measuring 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm, with gull-wing leads optimized for high-density PCB layouts and reflow compatibility.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RST | Active-low push-pull reset output referenced to VCC1; drives low during fault and holds for full 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; 1µs minimum pulse width required |
| 4 | PFO | Active-low open-drain power-fail output; asserts immediately when PFI < 626.5mV, deasserts instantly on recovery |
| 5 | VCC2 | Secondary supply input (0.9V–3.3V range); powers internal VCC2 monitor and sets RST2 reference if used |
| 6 | VCC1 | Primary supply input (1.8V–5.0V range); powers core logic, sets RST reference, and supplies MR pullup |
| 7 | PFI | Power-fail comparator input; high-impedance node (±25nA) for external resistor-divider monitoring of auxiliary supplies |
| 8 | NC | No-connect pin; must remain unconnected per datasheet |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar triple-voltage supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6729KAHGD3+ | Push-pull PFO output (vs. open-drain on MAX6728KAYHD3+); identical VCC1/VCC2 thresholds and 210ms timeout | Requires no external PFO pullup; better suited for driving CMOS inputs directly but lacks flexibility for wired-OR configurations | Select MAX6729KAHGD3+ when PFO must drive logic without external resistors; otherwise MAX6728KAYHD3+ offers greater interface versatility |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Dual-supply monitor only (no PFI/PFO); 3.3V fixed VDD threshold, 200ms timeout; SOT23-6 package | Lacks third-voltage monitoring and power-fail functionality; requires separate circuitry for auxiliary supply supervision | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR only if system has exactly two rails and no need for PFI-triggered interrupts or battery monitoring |
Compared with MAX6729KAHGD3+, MAX6728KAYHD3+ provides open-drain PFO for flexible bus interfacing, while TPS3808G33DBVR omits triple-monitoring entirely - making MAX6728KAYHD3+ the only drop-in solution for designs requiring simultaneous VCC1/VCC2/PFI supervision with configurable PFO drive strength.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for VCC1 on the MAX6728KAYHD3+?
The MAX6728KAYHD3+ has a factory-trimmed VCC1 reset threshold of 4.625V, with ±1.5% tolerance over the full -40°C to +85°C operating range. This value is encoded in the 'Y' suffix per Maxim's Reset Voltage Threshold Suffix Guide and is verified in the Electrical Characteristics table under VTH1 parameter.
Does the MAX6728KAYHD3+ support monitoring a negative supply voltage?
Yes, the MAX6728KAYHD3+ can monitor negative supplies using the PFI input with an external resistor divider configured as shown in Figure 3b of the datasheet. When the negative rail drops, PFI falls below 626.5mV and PFO asserts low - enabling early warning for systems with dual-polarity power.
What is the function of Pin 8 (NC) on the MAX6728KAYHD3+?
Pin 8 on the MAX6728KAYHD3+ is a no-connect (NC) terminal and must remain unconnected in the PCB layout. It is not internally bonded and serves only as a mechanical placeholder in the SOT23-8 package; connecting it risks undefined behavior or damage.
How does the PFO output behave during power recovery on the MAX6728KAYHD3+?
The PFO output on the MAX6728KAYHD3+ deasserts immediately upon PFI rising above 626.5mV - with no timeout delay. Its typical propagation delay is 2µs (from PFI crossing threshold to PFO transition), enabling real-time power-good signaling for firmware-controlled shutdown sequences.
Is the MAX6728KAYHD3+ compatible with 1.8V-only systems?
No - the MAX6728KAYHD3+ requires both VCC1 (1.8V–5.0V) and VCC2 (0.9V–3.3V) to be present and valid for full operation. Its VCC1 threshold is fixed at 4.625V, so it cannot supervise a 1.8V primary rail; for such systems, a different variant like MAX6720 or MAX6724 with lower VTH1 would be required.
