Product details
Overview
MAX6729KASHD3+ 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 an auxiliary supply via RSTIN (626.5mV reference). It provides push-pull active-low reset output, power-fail input/output (PFI/PFO), manual reset input (MR), and watchdog timer with 35s startup / 1.12s normal timeout. Used in multivoltage telecom and industrial systems requiring reliable brownout detection and orderly shutdown.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6729KASHD3+ datasheet, MAX6729KASHD3+ pinout, MAX6729KASHD3+ application, or MAX6729KASHD3+ equivalent, key selection factors include its triple-supply monitoring capability, guaranteed reset validity down to VCC1/VCC2 = 0.8V, push-pull RST and PFO outputs referenced to VCC1, and factory-trimmed dual-threshold configuration with 210ms (min) reset timeout.
Technical Context
The MAX6729KASHD3+ integrates three independent voltage monitors: primary (VCC1), secondary (VCC2), and auxiliary (RSTIN), each with dedicated comparators and hysteresis. Its reset logic asserts RST low when any monitored voltage falls below its threshold and holds for a minimum 210ms after all voltages recover - a fixed timeout set by the 'D3' suffix.
This device implements a dual-mode watchdog timer: 35s minimum initial period after reset to accommodate system boot, followed by 1.12s minimum normal operation timeout triggered by WDI edge transitions. The PFI/PFO path operates independently of reset timing, deasserting PFO immediately upon PFI recovery without delay.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC1 Threshold | 4.625V (factory-trimmed, falling edge; ensures reliable reset assertion during 5V rail brownout) |
| VCC2 Threshold | 3.075V (factory-trimmed, falling edge; matches common 3.3V I/O supply tolerance) |
| RSTIN Reference | 626.5mV (internal bandgap reference; enables monitoring of supplies as low as 0.62V via resistor divider) |
| Reset Timeout | 210ms (minimum; guarantees µP reset hold time sufficient for full firmware initialization) |
| Supply Current | 14µA (typ at 3.6V; enables use in battery-backed or ultra-low-power standby modes) |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C (industrial grade; supports deployment in telecom equipment and embedded controllers) |
| Watchdog Period | 35s min startup / 1.12s min normal (dual-mode architecture prevents false resets during boot while ensuring rapid fault response in runtime) |
Pinout & Package
MAX6729KASHD3+ is housed in an 8-pin SOT23-8 package (3.0mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm), optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts in portable and telecom equipment.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RST | Active-low push-pull reset output referenced to VCC1; drives high to ≥0.8×VCC1 when not asserted, low to ≤0.4V when asserted (ISINK = 3.2mA) |
| 2 | GND | System ground reference for all internal comparators, timers, and output drivers |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input with 50kΩ internal pullup to VCC1; 1µs minimum pulse width required to trigger reset |
| 4 | PFO | Active-low push-pull power-fail output referenced to VCC1; asserts immediately when PFI < 626.5mV, deasserts with no timeout |
| 5 | VCC2 | Secondary supply input (0.9V–3.3V range); powers internal circuitry when > VCC1 and sets VCC2 monitor threshold |
| 6 | VCC1 | Primary supply input (1.8V–5.0V range); powers device when > VCC2 and sets VCC1 monitor threshold |
| 7 | PFI | Power-fail comparator noninverting input; high-impedance (±25nA) node for external resistor-divider monitoring of third supply |
| 8 | WDI | Watchdog input; rising/falling edge clears dual-mode timer; requires CMOS/TTL-compatible levels (VIH = 0.7×VCC1, VIL = 0.3×VCC1) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple-voltage supervision | Simultaneous monitoring of VCC1 (4.625V), VCC2 (3.075V), and auxiliary supply via PFI with 626.5mV reference |
| Push-pull RST and PFO outputs | No external pullup required; outputs actively drive high/low, simplifying interface to µP reset pins and interrupt lines |
| Dual-mode watchdog timer | 35s startup window accommodates full system boot; 1.12s runtime timeout ensures rapid processor hang detection |
| Guaranteed reset validity | Reset output remains logically valid even when VCC1 or VCC2 drops to 0.8V - critical for last-gasp shutdown sequencing |
| Immunity to VCC transients | Withstands negative-going glitches ≤20µs (at 100mV overdrive), preventing spurious resets in noisy power environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar triple-voltage supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6728KAHD3+ | Same pinout and thresholds, but open-drain PFO output instead of push-pull | Requires external pullup on PFO; unsuitable where active drive to µP interrupt pin is needed | Select MAX6728KAHD3+ only if PFO load requires open-drain compatibility or level-shifting |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Dual-supply monitor (VDD, VDDIO) only; no PFI/PFO or WDI; 3.3V fixed VDD threshold; 200ms timeout | Lacks auxiliary voltage monitoring and power-fail signaling; no watchdog capability | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR for cost-sensitive dual-rail systems without PFI/WDT requirements |
Compared with MAX6729KASHD3+, MAX6728KAHD3+ offers identical supervision functionality but requires external pullup for PFO, while TPS3808G33DBVR reduces feature set to basic dual-rail monitoring - making MAX6729KASHD3+ the only option supporting simultaneous triple-supply monitoring, push-pull PFO, and dual-mode watchdog in SOT23-8.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for VCC1 and VCC2 on the MAX6729KASHD3+?
The MAX6729KASHD3+ has factory-trimmed reset thresholds: VCC1 = 4.625V (±125mV) and VCC2 = 3.075V (±75mV), as defined by the 'SH' suffix per Maxim's Reset Voltage Threshold Suffix Guide. These values are guaranteed over -40°C to +85°C and ensure precise brownout detection for 5V and 3.3V rails without external calibration.
Does the MAX6729KASHD3+ support monitoring a third voltage below 1.0V?
Yes, the MAX6729KASHD3+ supports monitoring auxiliary supplies as low as 0.62V using the PFI input and its internal 626.5mV reference. By connecting an external resistor divider between the target supply and GND, with PFI at the divider midpoint, the device triggers PFO when the supply falls below the calculated trip point - enabling sub-1V rail supervision.
How does the watchdog timer behave after power-on versus during normal operation for the MAX6729KASHD3+?
The MAX6729KASHD3+ implements a dual-mode watchdog: after any reset event (power-up, MR, or timeout), it enters a 35s minimum startup mode to allow full system boot; once WDI receives its first valid edge, it switches to 1.12s minimum normal mode. This prevents false timeouts during initialization while ensuring rapid fault detection during runtime.
Can the MAX6729KASHD3+ generate a reset if only VCC2 drops out while VCC1 remains valid?
Yes, the MAX6729KASHD3+ asserts RST whenever either VCC1 or VCC2 falls below its respective threshold - independent of the other rail's status. Since VCC2 threshold is 3.075V, a drop below that level (e.g., 3.0V) will trigger reset even if VCC1 remains at 4.6V, ensuring protection for secondary supply-dependent peripherals.
What is the maximum load current the MAX6729KASHD3+ RST output can sink in push-pull mode?
The MAX6729KASHD3+ RST output can sink up to 3.2mA while maintaining VOL ≤ 0.4V (at VCC1 ≥ 4.5V), per its Electrical Characteristics table. This drive strength supports direct connection to most µP reset inputs without series resistance, and exceeds typical MCU reset pin leakage requirements by >10×.
