Product details
Overview
MAX6731AUTTD3+ from Maxim Integrated is a single-voltage microprocessor supervisor IC with push-pull active-low reset output, manual reset input, and independent push-pull watchdog output. It monitors one fixed supply (VCC1) at +3.075V nominal threshold, provides 140–280ms reset timeout, operates from -40°C to +125°C, and draws only 14µA typical supply current at +3.6V - used in telecom power sequencing and embedded controller reset management.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6731AUTTD3+ datasheet, MAX6731AUTTD3+ pinout, MAX6731AUTTD3+ application, or MAX6731AUTTD3+ equivalent, this page delivers verified circuit role, factory-set voltage thresholds, watchdog timing behavior, SOT23-6 package details, and real-world substitution guidance for industrial and networking equipment design.
Technical Context
The MAX6731AUTTD3+ implements a dual-mode watchdog timer: 35s minimum startup delay after reset assertion enables full system initialization, followed by 1.12s minimum normal-mode timeout for rapid fault detection. Its reset logic guarantees valid RST output down to VCC1 = +0.8V and features immunity to short VCC transients via built-in glitch rejection.
It uses an internal precision reference to generate a fixed +3.075V VCC1 reset threshold (suffix "T"), supports CMOS-level MR input with 50kΩ internal pullup, and asserts RST low on VCC1 undervoltage, MR assertion, or WDI timeout - all with push-pull drive capability eliminating external pullup requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC1 Reset Threshold | +3.075V (factory-set falling threshold; ±1.5% tolerance over temperature) |
| Reset Timeout Period | 140–280ms (D3 suffix; ensures sufficient hold time for processor boot completion) |
| Watchdog Startup Delay | 35s min after reset; prevents false timeout during power-up initialization |
| Normal Watchdog Timeout | 1.12s min; enables fast lockup detection during runtime software execution |
| Supply Current | 14µA typ at +3.6V; enables ultra-low-power operation in battery-backed systems |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C; qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial control environments |
| RST Output Type | Active-low push-pull; drives directly into µP reset pin without external pullup resistor |
Pinout & Package
MAX6731AUTTD3+ is housed in a 6-pin SOT23-6 package (package code U6-1), measuring 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm, with gull-wing leads and lead-free plating (RoHS-compliant).
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RST | Active-low push-pull reset output; asserts when VCC1 drops below +3.075V, MR is pulled low, or watchdog times out |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference for all internal comparators and outputs; must be connected to system ground plane |
| 3 | WDO | Active-low push-pull watchdog output; asserts if no WDI edge occurs within 1.12s (normal mode) or 35s (startup mode) |
| 4 | MR | Active-low manual reset input; internally pulled up to VCC1 (50kΩ); drives RST low when asserted |
| 5 | WDI | Watchdog input; rising or falling edge clears watchdog timer; floating input does not disable watchdog function |
| 6 | VCC1 | Primary supply input; powers device and feeds VCC1 monitor; valid operating range +0.8V to +5.5V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed VCC1 reset threshold | +3.075V (suffix "T") with 20ppm/°C tempco and 0.5% hysteresis - eliminates external resistor divider |
| Push-pull RST and WDO outputs | No external pullup required; compatible with bidirectional µP reset pins when used with 10kΩ series resistor |
| Manual reset with internal pullup | 50kΩ internal MR pullup to VCC1 - simplifies PCB layout and reduces BOM count |
| Glitch-immune reset detection | Rejects VCC transients <100ns at 75mV overdrive - prevents spurious resets in noisy power environments |
| Guaranteed operation down to VCC1 = +0.8V | Ensures clean reset assertion during brownout conditions before system power collapse |
Applications
| Telecom Power Sequencing | Industrial PLC Controller Reset |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Sequencing multiple DC/DC rails (+3.3V, +1.8V, +1.2V) in base station line cards with precise timing and fault isolation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single-supply supervisor monitoring primary +3.3V rail; triggers system-wide reset if rail collapses during hot-swap events. Use Value: 140–280ms D3 timeout aligns with FPGA configuration window; push-pull RST ensures immediate, low-impedance reset assertion without pullup dependency. |
Use Scenario: Ensuring deterministic restart of ARM-based PLC controllers after ESD-induced lockup in factory automation cabinets. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervisor providing both automatic VCC1 monitoring and operator-initiated MR reset via front-panel button. Use Value: 35s watchdog startup delay accommodates bootloader execution; 1.12s normal timeout catches infinite loops in ladder logic runtime. |
| Networking Equipment Watchdog | Portable Medical Device Power Management |
|
Use Scenario: Preventing silent failure in managed Ethernet switches running Linux-based firmware with complex initialization sequences. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Independent watchdog timer with dedicated WDO output tied to system reset controller; decoupled from reset assertion timing. Use Value: Push-pull WDO drives reset logic directly; eliminates need for level-shifting or pullup networks in multi-rail 12V/5V/3.3V systems. |
Use Scenario: Maintaining safe shutdown and recovery in battery-powered ultrasound handhelds where supply voltage sags during high-current transducer bursts. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-quiescent-current supervisor (14µA typ) monitoring main Li-ion-derived +3.3V rail to prevent corrupted memory writes. Use Value: Valid RST output down to VCC1 = +0.8V ensures reset remains asserted through deep brownout - critical for data integrity during power loss. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6730AUTTD3+ | Open-drain RST output; requires external pullup resistor; same VCC1 threshold and D3 timeout | Suitable where µP reset pin is open-drain or level-shifted; adds one passive component | Select when interfacing with legacy processors requiring wired-OR reset buses or I²C-compatible reset signaling |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single-supply supervisor with +3.3V threshold, 200ms timeout, and open-drain RST; no manual reset input | Lacks MR pin and independent watchdog output; simpler feature set for basic reset-only use cases | Choose when watchdog functionality is unnecessary and board space is constrained - smaller footprint but reduced system supervision capability |
Compared with MAX6730AUTTD3+, the MAX6731AUTTD3+ eliminates external pullup needs via push-pull RST, while TPS3808G33DBVR trades MR and watchdog features for lower cost and size - making MAX6731AUTTD3+ optimal for robust, self-contained reset+watchdog supervision in mission-critical embedded systems.

FAQ
What is the exact VCC1 reset threshold voltage for MAX6731AUTTD3+?
The MAX6731AUTTD3+ has a factory-set VCC1 reset threshold of +3.075V (nominal), with guaranteed limits of +3.000V (min) and +3.150V (max) over -40°C to +125°C. This value corresponds to the "T" suffix in the part number and is implemented using a trimmed internal reference, not external resistors.
Does MAX6731AUTTD3+ include a manual reset input?
Yes, MAX6731AUTTD3+ includes an active-low manual reset input (MR) on Pin 4. It features a 50kΩ internal pullup to VCC1, accepts standard CMOS logic levels, and holds RST asserted for the full 140–280ms reset timeout period after MR is released - enabling front-panel or test-point reset functionality without external components.
What is the watchdog behavior of MAX6731AUTTD3+ during power-up?
Upon power-up or reset assertion, MAX6731AUTTD3+ enters a 35s minimum watchdog startup delay (tWD-L) before entering normal mode. This allows full system initialization - including bootloader execution and peripheral configuration - before the 1.12s minimum normal watchdog timeout (tWD-S) begins monitoring WDI transitions.
Can MAX6731AUTTD3+ operate with VCC1 below 1.0V?
Yes, MAX6731AUTTD3+ guarantees valid reset output down to VCC1 = +0.8V. Below this voltage, internal circuitry may cease operation, but RST remains asserted as long as VCC1 ≥ +0.8V - ensuring reliable brownout detection and preventing premature release of reset during power collapse.
What package type and lead finish does MAX6731AUTTD3+ use?
MAX6731AUTTD3+ is supplied in a 6-pin SOT23-6 package (JEDEC MO-178, package code U6-1), with lead-free (RoHS-compliant) matte tin plating. The "+" suffix in the part number explicitly denotes lead-free packaging, per Maxim's ordering convention.
