Product details
Overview
The MAX6731UTVD3+ from Maxim Integrated is a single-voltage microprocessor supervisor IC with active-low push-pull reset output, manual reset input, and independent watchdog timer featuring 1.68s normal-mode timeout and 54s startup delay. It monitors VCC1 at factory-set +3.075V threshold (suffix 'V'), provides 210ms typical reset timeout (D3), and operates over –40°C to +85°C for reliable power-on reset in embedded control systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6731UTVD3+ datasheet, MAX6731UTVD3+ pinout, MAX6731UTVD3+ application, or MAX6731UTVD3+ equivalent, this device delivers deterministic reset assertion during brownout, precise voltage monitoring for primary supply rails, integrated watchdog supervision without external timing components, and low 14µA supply current for battery-sensitive designs.
Technical Context
The MAX6731UTVD3+ integrates a precision voltage comparator for VCC1 monitoring with ±0.5% hysteresis and 20ppm/°C tempco, a digital reset timeout counter with six selectable periods (1.1–1120ms), and a dual-mode watchdog timer that transitions from 54s initial startup delay to 1.68s normal operation after first WDI edge detection. Its push-pull RST output drives directly into µP reset pins without pull-up resistors.
It features a dedicated manual reset input (MR) with internal 50kΩ pullup and 200ns MR-to-RST propagation delay, and an independent watchdog output (WDO) with identical push-pull drive strength as RST. All logic thresholds scale with VCC1 (0.3×/0.7×), ensuring compatibility across 0.8V–5.5V supply ranges.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC1 Threshold | +3.075V (factory-set 'V' suffix; ensures reliable reset assertion when primary supply drops below nominal 3.3V rail) |
| Reset Timeout | 140–280ms (D3 option; guarantees minimum system initialization time before release of reset signal) |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.12–2.24s (normal mode); 35–72s (startup mode); prevents lockup during boot and runtime execution errors |
| Supply Current | 14µA typical at +3.6V; enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered supervisory applications |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C; validated for industrial and telecom equipment environments without derating |
| Output Type | Push-pull RST and WDO; eliminates need for external pull-up resistors and supports direct µP reset pin drive |
| MR Input | Active-low with 50kΩ internal pullup; accepts TTL/CMOS levels and enables momentary switch interface without debounce circuitry |
Pinout & Package
MAX6731UTVD3+ uses a 6-pin SOT23-6 package (outline 21-0058) with 1.6mm × 2.9mm footprint and 0.95mm height, optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts in portable and networking gear.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| RST | Active-low reset output | Push-pull driver asserts low during VCC1 undervoltage, MR assertion, or watchdog timeout; releases high after timeout expires |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all internal comparators, timers, and output drivers; must be low-impedance connection |
| WDO | Active-low watchdog output | Independent push-pull output signals processor lockup; deasserts immediately when valid WDI edge detected |
| VCC1 | Primary supply input | Powers device and feeds VCC1 monitor; threshold set to +3.075V; valid operation down to +0.8V |
| WDI | Watchdog input | Edge-sensitive input; rising/falling transitions reset watchdog timer; unconnected state does not disable function |
| MR | Manual reset input | Active-low input with internal 50kΩ pullup to VCC1; forces reset when driven low; 1µs minimum pulse width |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-mode watchdog timer | 54s startup delay enables full system boot before watchdog enforcement; 1.68s runtime timeout detects software hangs |
| Guaranteed reset validity | Operates correctly down to VCC1 = +0.8V; ensures reset integrity during deep brownout conditions |
| Immunity to VCC transients | Rejects short-duration supply glitches via internal hysteresis and timing filters; prevents spurious resets |
| Low quiescent current | 14µA typical at +3.6V; reduces standby power in always-on supervisory circuits |
| Scalable logic thresholds | MR and WDI thresholds track VCC1 (0.3×/0.7×), maintaining noise margin across wide supply range |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6730UTVD3+ | Open-drain RST output; requires external pull-up resistor; identical VCC1 threshold and D3 timeout | Suitable where µP reset pin is open-drain compatible or level translation is needed | Select MAX6730UTVD3+ only when board layout already includes pull-up or when interfacing with legacy µPs requiring open-drain reset signaling |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single-supply supervisor with 3.3V fixed threshold; 200ms reset timeout; no manual reset input; no watchdog output | Lacks MR and independent WDO; intended for simpler reset-only use cases | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR only when watchdog and manual reset functions are unnecessary and footprint compatibility with SOT23-6 is required |
Compared with MAX6730UTVD3+, the MAX6731UTVD3+ eliminates external pull-up components and simplifies µP interface, while TPS3808G33DBVR reduces feature count and cost but sacrifices system-level fault recovery capability.

FAQ
What is the factory-set VCC1 reset threshold voltage for MAX6731UTVD3+?
The MAX6731UTVD3+ has a factory-set VCC1 reset threshold of +3.075V, indicated by the 'V' suffix in its part number. This value is guaranteed over –40°C to +85°C with ±0.5% hysteresis and 20ppm/°C tempco, ensuring accurate detection of 3.3V rail brownout conditions without external calibration.
Does MAX6731UTVD3+ include a manual reset input and how is it implemented?
Yes, MAX6731UTVD3+ includes an active-low manual reset input (MR) with an internal 50kΩ pullup resistor to VCC1. Driving MR low forces immediate RST assertion and clears the watchdog timer. The input accepts standard TTL/CMOS logic levels and requires only a 1µs minimum pulse width, enabling simple momentary switch implementation without external debounce circuitry.
What are the watchdog timeout periods supported by MAX6731UTVD3+?
MAX6731UTVD3+ features a dual-mode watchdog timer: a 35–72s minimum startup delay after reset to allow full system initialization, followed by a 1.12–2.24s minimum normal-mode timeout during runtime operation. The watchdog is edge-triggered on WDI and remains active even if WDI is left unconnected, ensuring continuous supervision.
How does the push-pull RST output of MAX6731UTVD3+ differ from open-drain alternatives?
The push-pull RST output of MAX6731UTVD3+ actively drives both high and low states, eliminating the need for external pull-up resistors. This reduces component count, improves noise immunity on reset lines, and ensures fast, deterministic release of reset without relying on RC time constants-critical for tight-tolerance boot timing in modern µPs and FPGAs.
Is MAX6731UTVD3+ suitable for operation at low supply voltages?
Yes, MAX6731UTVD3+ guarantees valid reset operation down to VCC1 = +0.8V, with full functionality-including reset assertion, watchdog timing, and MR response-maintained across its entire specified supply range of +0.8V to +5.5V. This makes it suitable for brownout detection in battery-powered and energy-harvesting systems.
