Product details
Overview
MAX6730UTVD3 from Maxim Integrated is a single-voltage microprocessor supervisor IC with active-low open-drain reset output, factory-set 3.075V VCC1 reset threshold, 140–280ms reset timeout, and independent watchdog timer featuring 35s startup delay and 1.12s normal timeout. It monitors +3.075V primary supply in embedded systems requiring reliable power-on reset and lockup recovery.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6730UTVD3 datasheet, MAX6730UTVD3 pinout, MAX6730UTVD3 application, or MAX6730UTVD3 equivalent, this page delivers verified circuit role (single-supply µP supervisor), exact reset thresholds, watchdog timing behavior, SOT23-6 package mapping, and two validated alternative parts for multivoltage system design.
Technical Context
The MAX6730UTVD3 implements a dual-mode watchdog timer: a 35s (min) initial startup period enables full system initialization after power-up or brownout, followed by a 1.12s (min) normal timeout period for rapid detection of software hang conditions. Its reset logic asserts RST low when VCC1 drops below 3.075V (±1.5% over temperature), with guaranteed validity down to VCC1 = +0.8V.
It features an internal 50kΩ pullup on MR, supports manual reset via TTL/CMOS-compatible input, and uses BiCMOS process for 14µA typical supply current at +3.6V. The open-drain RST output requires external pullup and remains functional across –40°C to +85°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC1 Reset Threshold | 3.075V (nominal), ±1.5% over –40°C to +85°C - ensures precise brownout detection for +3.3V rail monitoring |
| Reset Timeout Period | 140–280ms - provides sufficient hold time for µP boot sequence before releasing reset |
| Watchdog Startup Delay | 35s minimum - allows complex firmware initialization without spurious timeout |
| Normal Watchdog Timeout | 1.12s minimum - detects stalled code execution within sub-second latency |
| Supply Current | 14µA typical at +3.6V - enables battery-backed operation in portable equipment |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and telecom environments |
| RST Output Type | Active-low open-drain - compatible with bidirectional µP reset pins and level-shifting interfaces |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-6 package (6-pin, 1.6mm × 2.9mm footprint), lead-free option available as MAX6730UTVD3+T. Pin 1 marked with dot; pin 1 = RST, pin 2 = GND, pin 3 = WDO, pin 4 = MR, pin 5 = WDI, pin 6 = VCC1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (RST) | Active-low reset output | Open-drain driver; requires external pullup; asserts low on VCC1 undervoltage or MR activation |
| 2 (GND) | Ground reference | Common return path for all internal comparators and logic; must be low-impedance |
| 3 (WDO) | Active-low watchdog output | Open-drain watchdog status signal; asserts low if WDI stalls beyond timeout |
| 4 (MR) | Active-low manual reset input | Internally pulled up to VCC1 (50kΩ); drives RST low when asserted; accepts TTL/CMOS levels |
| 5 (WDI) | Watchdog input | Edge-sensitive input; clears watchdog timer on rising/falling transition; floating = no disable |
| 6 (VCC1) | Primary supply voltage input | Powers device and feeds VCC1 monitor; valid range +0.8V to +5.5V; determines MR/WDO logic levels |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-mode watchdog timer | 35s startup delay + 1.12s normal timeout - eliminates false resets during boot while enabling fast hang detection |
| Guaranteed reset validity | Operates down to VCC1 = +0.8V - ensures deterministic reset assertion during deep brownout |
| Immunity to short VCC transients | Rejects falling glitches <10µs at 100mV overdrive - prevents noise-induced spurious resets |
| Low quiescent current | 14µA typical at +3.6V - extends battery life in portable and always-on applications |
| Factory-trimmed precision threshold | 3.075V ±1.5% over temperature - eliminates external resistor network for +3.3V rail supervision |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar single-supply µP supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6326UT31D3-T | 3.08V reset threshold, 200ms timeout, push-pull RST output, no watchdog | Lacks independent watchdog output; suited for simpler reset-only use cases | Select when watchdog functionality is unnecessary and push-pull drive is preferred |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V reset threshold, 200ms timeout, push-pull RST, integrated watchdog with 1.6s timeout | Higher threshold (3.3V vs. 3.075V); different watchdog architecture (no startup delay mode) | Select when tighter +3.3V rail margin is acceptable and TI ecosystem compatibility is required |
Compared with MAX6730UTVD3, MAX6326UT31D3-T omits watchdog capability but offers push-pull RST for direct µP interface, while TPS3808G33DBVR provides higher threshold accuracy at +3.3V but lacks the critical 35s startup delay needed for complex boot sequences.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for MAX6730UTVD3?
The MAX6730UTVD3 has a factory-set VCC1 reset threshold of 3.075V (nominal), with ±1.5% tolerance over the full –40°C to +85°C operating range. This value is confirmed in Table 1 of the datasheet under suffix "TV", and applies specifically to the MAX6730UTVD3 variant - not the broader MAX6730 family.
Does MAX6730UTVD3 include a watchdog timer, and what are its timing modes?
Yes, MAX6730UTVD3 includes a dual-mode watchdog timer: a 35s minimum startup delay after reset (to allow system initialization), followed by a 1.12s minimum normal timeout period (for detecting runtime hangs). These values are specified in the Electrical Characteristics table and apply directly to MAX6730UTVD3 per its ordering suffix D3.
What package type and pin count does MAX6730UTVD3 use?
MAX6730UTVD3 is packaged in a 6-pin SOT23-6 outline (1.6mm × 2.9mm), with pin 1 marked by a dot. Pinout is fixed: Pin 1 = RST (open-drain), Pin 2 = GND, Pin 3 = WDO (open-drain), Pin 4 = MR, Pin 5 = WDI, Pin 6 = VCC1 - confirmed in the Pin Configurations diagram and Pin Description table.
Is the reset output of MAX6730UTVD3 push-pull or open-drain?
The reset output of MAX6730UTVD3 is active-low open-drain, as defined by its "UT" prefix and confirmed in the Selector Guide (page 15) and Pin Description (page 7). It requires an external pullup resistor and is compatible with bidirectional µP reset pins without contention.
What is the supply current specification for MAX6730UTVD3 at +3.6V?
MAX6730UTVD3 draws 14µA typical supply current at +3.6V and +25°C, with ICC1 = 10µA and ICC2 = 4µA (though ICC2 is not applicable for single-supply MAX6730 variants). This value is measured across temperature and confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table (page 2) and Typical Operating Characteristics plots (page 5).
