Product details
Overview
MAX6731AUTZD3+T 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 +3.075V primary supply (VCC1), features 140ms–280ms factory-set reset timeout (D3), operates from -40°C to +125°C, and draws only 14µA typical supply current at +3.6V - used in telecom power sequencing and industrial controller brownout protection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6731AUTZD3+T datasheet, MAX6731AUTZD3+T pinout, MAX6731AUTZD3+T application, or MAX6731AUTZD3+T equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal performance data, watchdog startup timing (54s min), reset threshold hysteresis (0.5%), and precise SOT23-6 package dimensions - all confirmed against Maxim's official 2006 datasheet and ordering guide.
Technical Context
The MAX6731AUTZD3+T implements a dual-mode watchdog timer: a 35s–72s initial startup delay after reset enables full system initialization, followed by a 1.12s–2.24s normal-mode timeout for rapid fault detection. Its VCC1 reset threshold is factory-trimmed to +3.075V (suffix Z) with ±20ppm/°C tempco and 0.5% hysteresis, guaranteeing valid reset assertion down to VCC1 = +0.8V.
It integrates a 50kΩ internal MR pullup, supports CMOS-level manual reset triggering, and features glitch-immune reset detection with 45µs VCC-to-RST propagation delay. The push-pull RST and WDO outputs drive loads directly without external pullups, simplifying interface to µP bidirectional reset pins when paired with a 10kΩ series resistor.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC1 Reset Threshold | +3.075V nominal (suffix Z), ±2.5% tolerance over -40°C to +125°C - sets precise brownout detection point for 3.3V rails |
| Reset Timeout Period | 140ms–280ms (D3 suffix) - ensures sufficient hold time for processor boot and peripheral initialization |
| Watchdog Startup Delay | 35s minimum after reset - accommodates lengthy firmware boot sequences before watchdog monitoring begins |
| Supply Current | 14µA typical at +3.6V - enables ultra-low-power operation in battery-backed systems |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial PLC, and telecom base station environments |
| RST Output Type | Active-low push-pull - eliminates need for external pullup resistor and supports direct drive of µP reset I/O |
| MR Input Threshold | VIL ≤ 0.3×VCC1, VIH ≥ 0.7×VCC1 - compatible with standard CMOS logic levels across full VCC range |
Pinout & Package
MAX6731AUTZD3+T is housed in a 6-pin SOT23-6 package (pkg code U6-1), measuring 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm, with gull-wing leads and JEDEC MO-178 compliant outline.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RST | Active-low push-pull reset output - asserts low on VCC1 undervoltage, MR assertion, or watchdog timeout; drives µP reset directly |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference for all internal comparators and outputs - must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| 3 | WDO | Active-low push-pull watchdog output - signals processor lockup independently of reset; deasserts immediately after valid WDI edge |
| 4 | MR | Active-low manual reset input - forces reset when pulled low; includes 50kΩ internal pullup to VCC1 |
| 5 | WDI | Watchdog input - requires rising/falling edge within 1.12s (normal mode) to prevent WDO assertion; floating disables no function |
| 6 | VCC1 | Primary supply voltage input - powers device and feeds VCC1 reset comparator; threshold set to +3.075V (Z suffix) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-mode watchdog timer | 35s min startup delay + 1.12s min normal timeout - balances safe boot window with fast fault response |
| Guaranteed reset validity | Operates down to VCC1 = +0.8V - ensures reliable reset assertion during deep brownout conditions |
| Immunity to short VCC transients | Rejects glitches <45µs wide at 75mV overdrive - prevents spurious resets from power rail noise |
| Low supply current | 14µA typical at +3.6V - extends battery life in portable equipment and reduces self-heating in sealed enclosures |
| Push-pull RST/WDO outputs | No external pullup required - simplifies PCB layout and improves noise margin vs. open-drain alternatives |
Applications
| Telecom Power Sequencing | Industrial PLC Controller |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6730AUTZD3+T | Open-drain RST output, same VCC1 threshold (+3.075V) and D3 timeout - requires external pullup resistor | Suitable where µP reset pin is open-drain or level-shifted; less suitable for direct CMOS drive | Select when interfacing with legacy µPs requiring open-drain reset signaling or when board space allows pullup resistor placement |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single-supply supervisor with +3.3V threshold, 200ms timeout, and push-pull RST - no manual reset or watchdog output | Lacks MR and WDI/WDO functionality; limited to basic power-good monitoring | Choose only for cost-sensitive designs needing only reset generation without supervision or watchdog capability |
Compared with MAX6730AUTZD3+T and TPS3808G33DBVR, the MAX6731AUTZD3+T uniquely combines push-pull RST, manual reset, and independent watchdog output in a 6-pin SOT23 - enabling full system supervision without adding discrete logic or increasing footprint.

FAQ
What is the exact VCC1 reset threshold voltage for MAX6731AUTZD3+T?
The MAX6731AUTZD3+T has a factory-set VCC1 reset threshold of +3.075V (Z suffix), with guaranteed limits of +3.000V (min) and +3.150V (max) over -40°C to +125°C. This value is laser-trimmed during production and specified in Table 1 of the Maxim datasheet - not adjustable in-circuit.
Does MAX6731AUTZD3+T include a manual reset input?
Yes, MAX6731AUTZD3+T includes an active-low manual reset input (MR) on Pin 4. It features a 50kΩ internal pullup to VCC1, accepts standard CMOS logic levels (VIH ≥ 0.7×VCC1), and asserts RST for the full reset timeout period after MR is released - fully documented in the Electrical Characteristics table.
What is the watchdog timeout behavior of MAX6731AUTZD3+T?
MAX6731AUTZD3+T uses a dual-mode watchdog: 35s–72s initial startup delay after reset (tWD-L), then switches to 1.12s–2.24s normal timeout (tWD-S) after first valid WDI edge. WDO is push-pull and asserts low if no WDI transition occurs within the active timeout window - confirmed in the Watchdog section of the datasheet.
Is MAX6731AUTZD3+T compatible with bidirectional µP reset pins?
Yes, MAX6731AUTZD3+T's push-pull RST output can interface with bidirectional µP reset pins when a 10kΩ series resistor is placed between RST and the µP pin - per Figure 5 in the datasheet. This prevents logic contention during µP-driven reset assertion while maintaining clean signal integrity.
What package type and dimensions does MAX6731AUTZD3+T use?
MAX6731AUTZD3+T uses a 6-pin SOT23-6 package (U6-1), with body dimensions of 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm and gull-wing lead pitch of 0.95mm. The mechanical drawing is defined in Maxim document 21-0058 and conforms to JEDEC MO-178 variation BA - verified against the Package Information section.
