Product details
Overview
MAX6731UTYD3+ 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 1.12s normal timeout and 35s startup delay. It monitors VCC1 at factory-set +2.188V threshold (Y suffix), provides 140–280ms reset timeout (D3), and operates from +0.8V to +5.5V supply across –40°C to +85°C - used in telecom power sequencing and embedded controller reset management.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6731UTYD3+ datasheet, MAX6731UTYD3+ pinout, MAX6731UTYD3+ application, or MAX6731UTYD3+ equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, SOT23-6 package mapping, functional pin roles, real-world use cases for multivoltage systems, and two validated alternative parts with documented technical and application differences.
Technical Context
The MAX6731UTYD3+ integrates a dual-mode watchdog timer (35s startup / 1.12s normal) and a precision voltage monitor with ±0.5% hysteresis and 20ppm/°C tempco. Its push-pull RST output drives directly into bidirectional μP reset I/O without contention when used with a 10kΩ series resistor.
It features guaranteed reset assertion down to VCC1 = +0.8V, 14μA typical supply current at +3.6V, and immunity to sub-100ns VCC transients - enabling reliable operation in noisy industrial and battery-powered environments where brownout resilience is critical.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
MAX6731UTYD3+ is housed in a 6-pin SOT23-6 package (package code U6+1), measuring 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm, with JEDEC-standard footprint and RoHS-compliant lead-free plating.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RST | Active-low push-pull reset output - asserts within 45µs of VCC1 drop below +2.188V; drives μP reset pin directly |
| 2 | GND | Power return reference - must be connected to system ground plane with low-inductance path for noise immunity |
| 3 | WDO | Active-low push-pull watchdog output - signals processor lockup independently of reset; deasserts immediately on valid WDI edge |
| 4 | MR | Active-low manual reset input - internal 50kΩ pullup allows floating if unused; 1µs minimum pulse width supports tactile switch debounce |
| 5 | WDI | Watchdog input - rising/falling edge clears timer; unconnected state maintains watchdog function; 50ns minimum pulse width |
| 6 | VCC1 | Primary supply input - powers device and sets monitored voltage rail; valid operation guaranteed down to +0.8V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-mode watchdog timer | 35s startup delay + 1.12s normal timeout - prevents false resets during boot while ensuring rapid fault detection in runtime |
| Guaranteed reset validity | Operates down to VCC1 = +0.8V - maintains correct reset state during deep brownout conditions common in battery-backed systems |
| Immunity to VCC transients | Rejects <100ns glitches - eliminates spurious resets caused by switching noise on power rails |
| Low quiescent current | 14μA typical at +3.6V - extends operational lifetime in energy-constrained portable and IoT endpoints |
| Push-pull outputs | RST and WDO drive high/low actively - removes dependency on external pullups, simplifies layout, improves signal integrity |
Applications
| Telecom Power Sequencing | Industrial PLC Controller Reset |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Sequencing +3.3V and +1.8V rails in base station RF front-end modules with strict power-up order requirements. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervises primary VCC1 rail (+3.3V) and triggers synchronized reset to FPGA and ADCs upon undervoltage. Use Value: Prevents configuration corruption during partial power-up by holding reset until both rails stabilize above +2.188V and +1.575V thresholds. |
Use Scenario: Ensuring deterministic restart after EMI-induced processor hang in DIN-rail mounted programmable logic controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monitors main +5V supply and feeds WDO output to safety relay driver to initiate controlled shutdown. Use Value: Dual watchdog modes allow full firmware load before enabling 1.12s runtime supervision - reducing nuisance trips during cold start. |
| Portable Medical Monitor | Network Switch Management MCU |
Use Scenario: Battery-powered ECG monitor requiring >5-year shelf life and fail-safe reboot on Li-ion voltage sag. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Resets ARM Cortex-M0+ host MCU when battery drops below +2.188V; MR tied to emergency button. Use Value: 14μA supply current and guaranteed operation down to +0.8V enable reliable brownout detection even as battery discharges to 2.0V. |
Use Scenario: Managing reset coordination between management CPU, PHYs, and packet buffer SRAM in 1U enterprise switches. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides independent RST and WDO signals to separate subsystems - decoupling CPU reset from PHY reinitialization. Use Value: Push-pull outputs drive multiple loads simultaneously without signal degradation; 140–280ms D3 timeout aligns with PHY lock acquisition time. |

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for MAX6731UTYD3+?
The MAX6731UTYD3+ has a factory-set VCC1 reset threshold of +2.188V (Y suffix), with ±0.5% hysteresis and 20ppm/°C temperature coefficient. This value is guaranteed over –40°C to +85°C and applies specifically to the YD3 variant - not adjustable or user-configurable. The threshold is referenced internally and does not require external components.
Does MAX6731UTYD3+ support manual reset functionality?
Yes, MAX6731UTYD3+ includes an active-low manual reset input (MR) with internal 50kΩ pullup to VCC1. Driving MR low forces immediate RST assertion for the full D3 timeout period (140–280ms). MR accepts TTL/CMOS logic levels and requires only a 1µs minimum pulse width - enabling direct connection to momentary switches without external debounce circuitry.
What are the watchdog timer timing characteristics of MAX6731UTYD3+?
MAX6731UTYD3+ features a dual-mode watchdog: a 35s minimum startup delay after reset (to allow full system initialization), followed by a 1.12s minimum normal timeout period. The timer clears on any WDI edge (rising or falling); leaving WDI unconnected does not disable the function. WDO is push-pull and asserts low on timeout.
Is MAX6731UTYD3+ compatible with bidirectional microprocessor reset pins?
Yes, MAX6731UTYD3+ can interface with bidirectional μP reset I/O using a 10kΩ series resistor between RST and the processor pin. This prevents logic contention that may occur with push-pull outputs. The resistor ensures safe voltage translation while maintaining fast 45µs RST response time and full noise immunity per datasheet specifications.
What package type and dimensions does MAX6731UTYD3+ use?
MAX6731UTYD3+ uses a RoHS-compliant 6-pin SOT23-6 package (U6+1 outline), measuring 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm. It features gull-wing leads, JEDEC-standard land pattern (90-0175), and thermal resistance θJA = 230°C/W. The package is rated for reflow up to +260°C and supports automated pick-and-place assembly.
