Product details
Overview
MAX6730UTVD3-T from Maxim Integrated is a single-voltage microprocessor supervisory IC with factory-set +3.075V VCC1 reset threshold, 140ms–280ms reset timeout, active-low open-drain reset output, and independent watchdog timer featuring 35s startup delay and 1.12s normal timeout. It monitors primary supply voltage in embedded systems requiring reliable power-on reset and lockup protection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6730UTVD3-T datasheet, MAX6730UTVD3-T pinout, MAX6730UTVD3-T application, or MAX6730UTVD3-T equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, SOT23-6 package details, watchdog timing behavior, manual reset integration, and validated alternative options for multivoltage system supervision.
Technical Context
The MAX6730UTVD3-T implements dual-mode watchdog logic: a 35s minimum initial timeout after reset enables full system initialization, followed by a 1.12s minimum normal timeout for rapid fault detection during runtime. Its reset circuitry guarantees valid RST assertion down to VCC1 = +0.8V and features hysteresis (0.5%) and immunity to sub-100ns VCC transients.
This variant monitors only VCC1 (no VCC2 or RSTIN inputs), uses an internal 50kΩ MR pullup, and asserts reset when VCC1 falls below +3.075V (±125mV over temperature). The open-drain RST output requires external pullup and supports bidirectional µP reset pins without contention.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC1 Reset Threshold | +3.075V (nominal), ±125mV tolerance over -40°C to +85°C - ensures precise brownout detection for 3.3V systems |
| Reset Timeout Period | 140ms–280ms (D3 suffix) - provides sufficient hold time for slow-starting processors and peripherals |
| Watchdog Startup Delay | 35s (min) after reset - allows complete boot sequence before watchdog monitoring begins |
| Normal Watchdog Timeout | 1.12s (min) - detects software hangs within sub-second window during active operation |
| Supply Current | 14µA (typ) at +3.6V - enables long battery life in portable equipment |
| RST Output Type | Active-low open-drain - compatible with bidirectional µP reset I/O and flexible voltage-level translation |
| Manual Reset Input | MR with 50kΩ internal pullup to VCC1 - simplifies pushbutton interface with no external components required |
Pinout & Package
MAX6730UTVD3-T is housed in a 6-pin SOT23-6 package (U6-1 outline), measuring 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm, suitable for space-constrained PCB layouts and reflow-compatible with standard lead-free processes.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RST | Active-low reset output | Open-drain driver requiring external pullup; asserts low on VCC1 undervoltage or MR activation |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all internal circuits and external bypass capacitors |
| 3 - WDO | Active-low watchdog output | Open-drain output asserting low if WDI lacks edge transitions within timeout period |
| 4 - MR | Active-low manual reset input | Internally pulled up to VCC1; drives RST low when grounded, enabling hardware-initiated reset |
| 5 - WDI | Watchdog input | Edge-sensitive input; each rising/falling transition resets watchdog timer; unconnected = functional |
| 6 - VCC1 | Primary supply input | Power source and monitored voltage rail; powers internal circuitry and defines reset threshold reference |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-set VCC1 threshold | +3.075V (T-suffix) eliminates external resistor network and calibration effort |
| Dual-mode watchdog timer | 35s startup + 1.12s normal timeout prevents false triggers during boot while ensuring fast hang detection |
| Guaranteed reset validity | RST remains functional down to VCC1 = +0.8V - supports graceful shutdown during deep brownout |
| Immunity to VCC transients | Rejects falling glitches <100ns wide - avoids spurious resets in noisy power environments |
| Low quiescent current | 14µA typical at +3.6V - extends battery life in always-on monitoring applications |
Applications

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 | Fixed +2.93V reset threshold, 200ms timeout, same SOT23-6 package, no watchdog output | Lacks independent watchdog timer and WDO pin - suitable only for basic reset-only use cases | Select when watchdog functionality is unnecessary and tighter 2.93V threshold better matches system margin |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | +3.3V reset threshold, 200ms timeout, push-pull RST, integrated watchdog with programmable delay, same 6-pin SOT23 | Push-pull RST requires series resistor for bidirectional µP pins; watchdog delay adjustable via external capacitor | Choose when design flexibility (adjustable timeout) and higher drive strength outweigh need for open-drain compatibility |
Compared with MAX6730UTVD3-T, MAX6326UR29D3-T omits watchdog capability but offers tighter threshold accuracy, while TPS3808G33DBVR provides programmable timing and stronger output drive at the cost of added external component count and different reset polarity handling.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for MAX6730UTVD3-T?
The MAX6730UTVD3-T has a factory-set VCC1 reset threshold of +3.075V (nominal), with guaranteed limits of +3.000V (min) and +3.150V (max) over the full -40°C to +85°C operating range, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under VTH1 parameter with 'T' suffix.
Does MAX6730UTVD3-T support manual reset functionality?
Yes, MAX6730UTVD3-T includes an active-low manual reset input (MR) with an internal 50kΩ pullup resistor to VCC1. Driving MR low forces RST assertion for the full reset timeout period, enabling hardware-initiated system reset using a simple pushbutton switch without external components.
What watchdog timeout periods does MAX6730UTVD3-T provide?
MAX6730UTVD3-T features dual-mode watchdog timing: a minimum 35s startup delay after any reset event (power-up, brownout, or MR activation), followed by a minimum 1.12s normal timeout period that begins after the first valid WDI edge or expiration of the startup delay.
Is MAX6730UTVD3-T compatible with bidirectional microprocessor reset pins?
Yes, MAX6730UTVD3-T's open-drain RST output is inherently compatible with bidirectional µP reset I/O pins. No series resistor is required, unlike push-pull variants, eliminating risk of logic contention during reset assertion or release.
What package type and dimensions does MAX6730UTVD3-T use?
MAX6730UTVD3-T is supplied in a 6-pin SOT23-6 package (package code U6-1), with body dimensions of 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm and standard lead-free RoHS-compliant finish. The pinout matches JEDEC MO-178AC outline and supports automated placement and reflow soldering.
