Product details
Overview
MAX6730UTLD3-T from Maxim Integrated is a single-voltage microprocessor supervisory IC with active-low open-drain reset output, factory-set 4.625V VCC1 reset threshold, 3.075V VCC2 secondary threshold, 210ms minimum reset timeout period (D3), and independent watchdog timer featuring 35s startup delay and 1.68s normal-mode timeout. It monitors primary and secondary supply rails in embedded systems requiring reliable power-on reset and lockup recovery.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6730UTLD3-T datasheet, MAX6730UTLD3-T pinout, MAX6730UTLD3-T application, or MAX6730UTLD3-T equivalent, this device delivers deterministic reset assertion under brownout, manual reset initiation, and watchdog supervision of firmware execution - all in a space-constrained SOT23-6 package with guaranteed operation down to VCC = +0.8V.
Technical Context
The MAX6730UTLD3-T implements dual-supply monitoring using precision bandgap-referenced comparators for VCC1 and VCC2, with ±0.5% hysteresis and 20ppm/°C tempco. Its reset logic asserts RST low when either supply falls below its factory-trimmed threshold and holds for the full 140–280ms D3 timeout window after recovery.
The integrated watchdog operates in two phases: a 35s (min) initialization window post-reset enables safe system boot, then transitions to 1.12s (min) normal timeout on first WDI edge detection. WDO is open-drain and shares the same assertion conditions as RST but operates independently - enabling separate reset and watchdog signaling paths.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC1 Reset Threshold | +4.625V nominal (LT suffix), ±125mV tolerance - ensures clean reset assertion during 5V rail brownout without false triggering. |
| VCC2 Reset Threshold | +3.075V nominal (LT suffix), ±75mV tolerance - supports concurrent monitoring of 3.3V I/O or memory supply. |
| Reset Timeout Period | 140–280ms (D3 option) - provides sufficient hold time for slow-starting processors and peripheral initialization. |
| Watchdog Timeout | 35s min startup / 1.12s min normal mode - accommodates bootloader execution then enforces tight firmware liveness checks. |
| Supply Current | 14µA typical at +3.6V - enables use in battery-backed or ultra-low-power always-on monitoring applications. |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +85°C - fully specified for industrial and telecom equipment environments. |
| Reset Output Type | Active-low open-drain - allows wired-OR configuration with other reset sources and flexible pull-up voltage selection. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6730UTLD3-T is housed in a 6-pin SOT23-6 package (U6-1 outline), measuring 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm, with gull-wing leads and RoHS-compliant matte-tin plating. Thermal resistance θJA = 230°C/W enables operation at full rating up to +70°C ambient without heatsinking.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RST | Active-low open-drain reset output - requires external pullup; asserts when VCC1/VCC2 drop below threshold or MR is pulled low. |
| 2 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference - must be connected to system ground plane with low-inductance path for noise immunity. |
| 3 | WDO | Active-low open-drain watchdog output - independent of RST; asserts if WDI lacks edge for >1.12s after boot or during undervoltage. |
| 4 | MR | Active-low manual reset input - internal 50kΩ pullup to VCC1; drives RST low when asserted, clearing watchdog counter. |
| 5 | WDI | Watchdog input - edge-sensitive (rising/falling); resets internal timer on each transition; unconnected = watchdog remains active. |
| 6 | VCC1 | Primary supply input - powers device and serves as reference for VCC1 threshold comparator; valid from +0.8V to +5.5V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual fixed-voltage monitoring | Simultaneous +4.625V and +3.075V thresholds eliminate need for external resistor dividers or discrete supervisors. |
| Guaranteed reset validity | Operates and asserts valid RST down to VCC1 or VCC2 = +0.8V - ensures fail-safe behavior during deep brownout conditions. |
| Immunity to short VCC transients | Rejects <10µs falling glitches at 100mV overdrive - prevents spurious resets in noisy power environments. |
| Low quiescent current | 14µA typical ICC1 at +3.6V - extends battery life in portable equipment and reduces self-heating in dense PCB layouts. |
| Manual reset with glitch rejection | 100ns MR pulse rejection and 1µs minimum width requirement - suppresses contact bounce and EMI-induced false triggers. |
Applications
| Telecom Line Card Power Monitoring | Industrial PLC CPU Board Supervision |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6326UR29D3-T | Single 2.93V fixed threshold, no VCC2 monitor, no watchdog output, push-pull RST only | Limited to single-rail systems without firmware supervision needs | Select when only basic 3V rail monitoring is required and board space permits larger SOT23-5 footprint |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single 3.3V threshold, adjustable timeout (1ms–10s), no secondary monitor, push-pull RST, higher 25µA ICC | Offers wider timeout flexibility but lacks dual-supply capability and independent WDO | Prefer for cost-sensitive consumer designs where 3.3V-only monitoring suffices and longer timeouts are needed |
Compared with MAX6730UTLD3-T, MAX6326UR29D3-T omits dual-supply monitoring and watchdog functionality - reducing BOM count but limiting fault coverage; TPS3808G33DBVR trades dual-rail capability for broader timeout range and higher supply current, making it suitable for simpler, lower-cost implementations without secondary rail supervision.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for MAX6730UTLD3-T?
The MAX6730UTLD3-T has a factory-set VCC1 reset threshold of +4.625V (LT suffix) with ±125mV tolerance and a VCC2 threshold of +3.075V (also LT), both specified over -40°C to +85°C. These values are laser-trimmed during production and documented in Table 1 of the MAX6730–MAX6735 datasheet. The MAX6730UTLD3-T does not support adjustable RSTIN monitoring - that feature is exclusive to MAX6734/MAX6735 variants.
Does MAX6730UTLD3-T include a watchdog timer, and how is it configured?
Yes, MAX6730UTLD3-T integrates a dual-mode watchdog timer with independent WDO output. It starts in 35s (min) startup mode after reset to allow system boot, then switches to 1.12s (min) normal timeout after first WDI edge detection. WDO is active-low open-drain and asserts if WDI remains static beyond timeout - no external components or configuration are required to enable this function in MAX6730UTLD3-T.
What package type and footprint does MAX6730UTLD3-T use?
MAX6730UTLD3-T uses a 6-pin SOT23-6 package (package code U6-1, outline 21-0058), with 0.95mm pin pitch and gull-wing leads. Its land pattern (90-0175) is standardized across Maxim's SOT23-6 offerings. The device is RoHS-compliant and available in both leaded and lead-free versions - ordering suffix "-T" denotes lead-free; "+T" is not used for this part number per Maxim's packaging notation.
Can MAX6730UTLD3-T monitor three voltage rails?
No, MAX6730UTLD3-T monitors exactly two voltage rails: VCC1 (primary, +4.625V threshold) and VCC2 (secondary, +3.075V threshold). It does not include the RSTIN adjustable comparator input - that feature is present only in MAX6734 and MAX6735 variants (SOT23-8 packages). For triple-rail supervision, engineers must select MAX6734KALTD3-T or MAX6735KALTD3-T instead of MAX6730UTLD3-T.
Is manual reset supported on MAX6730UTLD3-T, and what are its electrical characteristics?
Yes, MAX6730UTLD3-T includes an active-low manual reset input (MR) with internal 50kΩ pullup to VCC1. MR accepts TTL/CMOS logic levels (VIH = 0.7×VCC1, VIL = 0.3×VCC1), rejects <100ns glitches, and requires ≥1µs pulse width for reliable assertion. Driving MR low forces immediate RST assertion and clears the watchdog timer - a key feature confirmed in the MAX6730UTLD3-T functional diagram and Pin Description table.
