Product details
Overview
MAX6729KASYD3+ from Maxim Integrated is a triple-voltage microprocessor supervisory circuit in an 8-pin SOT23 package, monitoring VCC1 (primary), VCC2 (secondary), and RSTIN (adjustable third supply) with factory-trimmed thresholds of 4.625V and 3.075V, 210ms reset timeout, push-pull active-low RST output, and integrated power-fail comparator with PFI/PFO. It ensures reliable system reset during brownouts in battery-powered telecom and industrial controllers.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6729KASYD3+ datasheet, MAX6729KASYD3+ pinout, MAX6729KASYD3+ application, or MAX6729KASYD3+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its triple-supply monitoring capability, guaranteed reset validity down to VCC1/VCC2 = 0.8V, push-pull RST output referenced to VCC1, 14µA typical supply current at 3.6V, and support for power-fail warning via PFI/PFO interface.
Technical Context
The MAX6729KASYD3+ integrates three independent voltage monitors: VCC1 (4.625V threshold), VCC2 (3.075V threshold), and RSTIN (626.5mV internal reference, adjustable via external divider). Reset assertion occurs if any monitored voltage falls below its threshold, with a guaranteed minimum 210ms timeout after recovery.
It features a push-pull RST output referenced to VCC1, open-drain PFO referenced to VCC1, manual reset input (MR) with 50kΩ internal pullup, and power-fail comparator with 2µs propagation delay from PFI to PFO. The device operates across -40°C to +85°C and draws only 14µA typical supply current at 3.6V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC1 Threshold | 4.625V (factory-trimmed, ±125mV tolerance); ensures precise reset initiation for 5V or 4.8V primary rails |
| VCC2 Threshold | 3.075V (factory-trimmed, ±75mV tolerance); supports reliable monitoring of 3.3V I/O or auxiliary supplies |
| RSTIN Reference | 626.5mV (internal bandgap); enables accurate third-supply monitoring down to 0.62V via resistor divider |
| Reset Timeout | 210ms (minimum); provides sufficient hold time for processor initialization and peripheral stabilization |
| Supply Current | 14µA typical at 3.6V; minimizes quiescent power draw in always-on battery-backed systems |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C; qualified for industrial and extended-temperature embedded applications |
| Reset Output Type | Push-pull active-low RST; eliminates need for external pullup and ensures defined logic level during VCC ramp |
Pinout & Package
MAX6729KASYD3+ uses an 8-pin SOT23-8 package (2.0mm × 2.1mm footprint, 1.1mm height), optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts in portable and industrial equipment.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RST | Active-low push-pull reset output referenced to VCC1; asserts low on fault and holds for 210ms timeout |
| 2 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference; must be connected to system common ground plane |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input with 50kΩ internal pullup to VCC1; initiates reset when pulled low |
| 4 | PFO | Active-low power-fail output (push-pull); asserts low when PFI < 626.5mV, no timeout delay |
| 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 core logic and defines RST output voltage level |
| 7 | PFI | Power-fail input; high-impedance node for resistor-divider network to set custom power-fail threshold |
| 8 | RSTIN | Adjustable reset input; monitors third supply via external divider against 626.5mV internal reference |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple-supply monitoring | Simultaneous VCC1 (4.625V), VCC2 (3.075V), and RSTIN (626.5mV ref) supervision eliminates need for multiple discrete supervisors |
| Guaranteed reset validity | Outputs remain functional and valid even when VCC1 or VCC2 drops to 0.8V - critical for brownout detection before full rail collapse |
| Integrated power-fail comparator | PFI/PFO pair provides early warning of supply degradation without requiring external comparators or timers |
| Low quiescent current | 14µA typical at 3.6V enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered backup circuits and IoT edge nodes |
| Immunity to VCC transients | Withstands negative-going glitches ≤20µs (at 100mV overdrive), reducing false resets in noisy power environments |
Applications
| Telecom Line Card Power Management | 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6728KAUD3+ | Same pinout and thresholds, but PFO is open-drain (not push-pull); requires external pullup resistor | Suitable where PFO must drive multiple loads or interface to different voltage domains | Select MAX6728KAUD3+ only if open-drain PFO flexibility is required; otherwise MAX6729KASYD3+ simplifies layout with push-pull output |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Dual-supply monitor (VDD, VDDIO) only; no RSTIN or PFI/PFO; 3.3V fixed VDD threshold; 200ms timeout | Lacks third-supply monitoring and power-fail warning capability; limited to two-rail systems | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR only for cost-sensitive dual-rail designs without PFI/RSTIN needs; MAX6729KASYD3+ provides full feature parity |
Compared with MAX6728KAUD3+, MAX6729KASYD3+ offers simplified PFO interfacing via push-pull output; compared with TPS3808G33DBVR, it adds essential third-supply monitoring and power-fail alerting - making it the only option supporting true triple-rail supervision with integrated PFI/PFO in SOT23-8.

FAQ
What are the factory-trimmed reset thresholds for MAX6729KASYD3+?
The MAX6729KASYD3+ has factory-trimmed VCC1 and VCC2 reset thresholds of 4.625V and 3.075V respectively, as indicated by the 'SY' suffix per Maxim's Reset Voltage Threshold Suffix Guide. These values are guaranteed over temperature with ±125mV and ±75mV tolerances, enabling precise supervision of 5V and 3.3V rails without external calibration.
Does MAX6729KASYD3+ support monitoring a third supply voltage?
Yes, MAX6729KASYD3+ supports third-supply monitoring via the RSTIN pin, which compares the applied voltage against an internal 626.5mV reference. Using an external resistor divider, users can configure RSTIN to monitor voltages as low as 0.62V - for example, setting a 1.2V rail trip point with R1 = 100kΩ and R2 = 100kΩ yields VEXT_TH = 1.253V.
What is the function of the PFI and PFO pins on MAX6729KASYD3+?
On MAX6729KASYD3+, PFI serves as the noninverting input to an internal comparator with a 626.5mV threshold, while PFO is its active-low push-pull output. When PFI falls below threshold (e.g., due to dropping battery voltage), PFO asserts low within 2µs - providing immediate power-fail warning without reset timeout delay, ideal for initiating controlled shutdown routines.
How does the manual reset (MR) input behave on MAX6729KASYD3+?
The MR input on MAX6729KASYD3+ is active-low with an internal 50kΩ pullup to VCC1. Pulling MR low forces an immediate reset assertion, which remains active for the full 210ms timeout period after MR returns high. This allows hardware-initiated resets via momentary switches or logic signals without external components - and MR accepts TTL/CMOS-compatible levels.
What package type and pin count does MAX6729KASYD3+ use?
MAX6729KASYD3+ uses an 8-pin SOT23-8 package (2.0mm × 2.1mm body, 0.95mm nominal pitch), confirmed by Maxim's Ordering Information table and Pin Configurations section. This compact footprint supports high-density PCB layouts in portable and industrial applications while maintaining thermal performance up to +85°C ambient.
