Product details
Overview
MAX6729KASVD3+ 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 voltage 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. It ensures reliable system boot and brownout protection in multivoltage embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6729KASVD3+ datasheet, MAX6729KASVD3+ pinout, MAX6729KASVD3+ application, or MAX6729KASVD3+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its guaranteed reset validity down to VCC1/VCC2 = 0.8V, 14µA typical supply current at 3.6V, 20µs VCC-to-reset delay, and support for externally adjustable third-supply monitoring with 0.626V internal reference.
Technical Context
The MAX6729KASVD3+ integrates three independent voltage monitors: primary (VCC1), secondary (VCC2), and auxiliary (RSTIN), each with factory-trimmed or resistor-divider–configured thresholds. Its dual-mode watchdog timer delivers a 35s minimum startup period followed by a 1.12s minimum normal timeout, enabling robust firmware execution monitoring after power-up or reset events.
This device implements push-pull reset output referenced to VCC1, open-drain PFO referenced to VCC1, and logic-compatible MR/WDI inputs with internal 50kΩ pullup on MR. All reset assertions - from supply undervoltage, manual reset, or watchdog timeout - trigger a fixed 210ms (min) reset timeout period, confirmed by D3 suffix per Reset Timeout Period Suffix Guide.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC1 Threshold | 4.625V (typ), factory-trimmed; ensures reliable reset assertion when primary supply drops below nominal 4.63V rail |
| VCC2 Threshold | 3.075V (typ), factory-trimmed; monitors secondary 3.3V domain with ±0.075V tolerance over temperature |
| RSTIN Reference | 626.5mV (typ); enables precise external monitoring of third supply (e.g., 1.2V core) using resistor divider |
| Reset Timeout | 210ms (min); guarantees µP reset hold time sufficient for full initialization of complex SoCs and peripherals |
| Supply Current | 14µA (typ) at 3.6V; minimizes quiescent load on battery-backed or low-power rails |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C; qualified for industrial-grade embedded equipment without derating |
| Reset Output Type | Push-pull active-low RST; eliminates need for external pullup and drives directly into µP reset pin |
Pinout & Package
MAX6729KASVD3+ is housed in an 8-pin SOT23-8 package (3.0mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm), optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts while supporting thermal dissipation up to 714mW at +70°C.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RST | Active-low push-pull reset output referenced to VCC1; asserts low during any fault condition and holds for 210ms min |
| 2 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference; must be connected to system ground plane for stable threshold operation |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input with internal 50kΩ pullup to VCC1; debounced by design, no external RC needed |
| 4 | PFO | Active-low power-fail output (push-pull); asserts low when PFI < 626.5mV, deasserts immediately without timeout |
| 5 | VCC2 | Secondary supply input (0.9V–3.3V range); powers internal circuitry and sets VCC2 monitor reference |
| 6 | VCC1 | Primary supply input (1.8V–5.0V range); powers device core and defines RST output voltage level |
| 7 | PFI | Power-fail comparator input; high-impedance node (±25nA) for resistor-divider–based monitoring of auxiliary rail |
| 8 | WDI | Watchdog input; detects µP activity via rising/falling edges; triggers reset if idle > 1.12s (normal mode) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-mode watchdog timer | 35s startup + 1.12s normal timeout prevents false resets during boot while ensuring rapid fault detection in runtime |
| Guaranteed reset validity | Operates correctly with VCC1 or VCC2 ≥ 0.8V - critical for brownout recovery in low-voltage systems |
| Immunity to VCC transients | Withstands negative-going glitches ≤20µs at 100mV overdrive - eliminates spurious resets from switching noise |
| Low-power supervision | 14µA typical ICC at 3.6V enables multi-year battery life in always-on IoT edge nodes |
| Flexible third-supply monitoring | RSTIN input with 626.5mV reference supports monitoring of sub-1V rails (e.g., 0.8V FPGA core) via precision divider |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Controller | Network Router Power Management |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar triple-voltage supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6728KA+T | Same pinout and feature set, but PFO is open-drain instead of push-pull; requires external pullup | Suitable where PFO must interface with mixed-voltage logic (e.g., 1.8V I²C interrupt line) | Select MAX6728KA+T only if open-drain PFO is required for level-shifting or wired-OR configurations |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Dual-supply monitor only (no RSTIN/PFI/WDI); 3.3V fixed VDD threshold; 200ms timeout; SOT23-6 package | Lacks third-supply monitoring and watchdog - insufficient for systems requiring auxiliary rail or firmware health checks | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR only for cost-sensitive dual-rail applications without PFI/WDI needs |
Compared with MAX6729KASVD3+, MAX6728KA+T offers identical supervision capability but less drive strength on PFO, while TPS3808G33DBVR reduces functionality and pin count - making MAX6729KASVD3+ the only option supporting full triple-voltage, watchdog, and push-pull PFO in one 8-pin package.

FAQ
What is the exact reset timeout period for MAX6729KASVD3+?
The MAX6729KASVD3+ has a minimum reset timeout period of 210ms, as indicated by the "D3" suffix in its part number per Maxim's Reset Timeout Period Suffix Guide. This value is guaranteed over the full -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range and ensures sufficient hold time for complex microprocessors to complete initialization sequences before releasing reset.
Does MAX6729KASVD3+ support monitoring a 1.0V supply rail?
Yes, MAX6729KASVD3+ supports monitoring a 1.0V rail via its RSTIN input using an external resistor divider. With a 626.5mV internal reference, a simple two-resistor network (e.g., R1 = 600kΩ, R2 = 1MΩ) scales the 1.0V rail to meet the RSTIN threshold, enabling precise undervoltage detection without additional components.
How does the watchdog timer behave after power-up in MAX6729KASVD3+?
After power-up or any reset event, MAX6729KASVD3+ enters a 35s minimum startup watchdog mode. Only after the first valid WDI transition (rising or falling edge) within that window does it switch to the 1.12s minimum normal timeout mode - preventing premature resets during lengthy bootloader execution.
Can MAX6729KASVD3+ generate a power-fail interrupt without asserting system reset?
Yes, MAX6729KASVD3+ provides independent PFI/PFO functionality: when PFI falls below 626.5mV, PFO asserts low immediately without triggering RST or invoking the 210ms reset timeout. This allows software to execute graceful shutdown routines before system reset occurs.
What is the maximum supply voltage the MAX6729KASVD3+ can tolerate on VCC1 and VCC2 pins?
MAX6729KASVD3+ supports absolute maximum voltages of +6V on both VCC1 and VCC2 pins, per its Absolute Maximum Ratings table. However, functional operation is specified only from 0.8V to 5.5V - exceeding 5.5V risks latch-up or permanent damage despite surviving brief transients up to +6V.
