Product details
Overview
MAX6734AKASHD3+T from Maxim Integrated is a triple-voltage microprocessor supervisor IC with independent watchdog output, monitoring two factory-set supply rails (VCC1 = +2.925V, VCC2 = +2.188V) and one adjustable input (RSTIN = 626mV threshold), featuring 210ms reset timeout, open-drain RST/WDO outputs, and manual reset input - deployed in multivoltage embedded systems requiring reliable power-on reset and lockup protection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6734AKASHD3+T datasheet, MAX6734AKASHD3+T pinout, MAX6734AKASHD3+T application, or MAX6734AKASHD3+T equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, temperature-stable threshold behavior, watchdog startup/normal timing modes, SOT23-8 package layout, and real-world substitution guidance for industrial and telecom power supervision designs.
Technical Context
The MAX6734AKASHD3+T implements dual-mode watchdog logic: a 35s minimum initial timeout after reset enables full system initialization, followed by 1.12s minimum normal-mode timeout for rapid fault detection. Its triple-monitor architecture uses internal references to validate VCC1 (2.925V), VCC2 (2.188V), and RSTIN (626mV), with hysteresis of 0.5% and tempco of 20ppm/°C.
Reset assertion occurs when any monitored voltage falls below its threshold; RST remains low for 210ms after all thresholds are re-exceeded. The device guarantees valid reset down to VCC1/VCC2 = +0.8V and features 100ns MR glitch rejection, 200ns MR-to-RST delay, and immunity to sub-10µs VCC transients at ≥75mV overdrive.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC1 Threshold | +2.925V nominal (S suffix), ±1.5% tolerance over -40°C to +125°C - sets primary supply monitoring point for 3.3V rail supervision |
| VCC2 Threshold | +2.188V nominal (Y suffix), ±1.5% tolerance - configures secondary supply monitor for 2.5V or 2.2V domain |
| RSTIN Threshold | 626mV typical, ±2.5mV max deviation - enables precise third-rail monitoring via external resistor divider |
| Reset Timeout | 210ms nominal (D3 suffix), 140–280ms range - ensures sufficient hold time for slow-starting µPs and peripherals |
| Supply Current | 14µA typical at +3.6V, <28µA max over full temperature range - supports battery-backed and ultra-low-power applications |
| Watchdog Timeout | 35s min initial period, 1.12s min normal period - balances boot-time flexibility with runtime responsiveness |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial control, and telecom base station environments |
Pinout & Package
MAX6734AKASHD3+T is housed in an 8-pin SOT23-8 package (K8S-3), measuring 3.00 × 1.75 × 1.30 mm, with gull-wing leads, JEDEC MO178 BA-compliant outline, and lead-free +T marking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RST | Active-low reset output | Open-drain output requiring external pullup; asserts low on VCC1/VCC2/RSTIN undervoltage or MR activation |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all internal comparators, watchdog, and reset logic |
| 3 - VCC2 | Secondary supply input | Power source and monitoring input for second voltage rail (e.g., 2.5V I/O domain) |
| 4 - WDO | Active-low watchdog output | Open-drain watchdog alert; asserts low if WDI lacks edge within timeout or during undervoltage |
| 5 - VCC1 | Primary supply input | Main power source and monitoring input for primary rail (e.g., 3.3V core) |
| 6 - RSTIN | Adjustable reset comparator input | High-impedance (±100nA) input referenced to 626mV; monitors third rail via resistive divider |
| 7 - MR | Active-low manual reset input | CMOS-compatible input with 50kΩ internal pullup; forces reset when pulled low |
| 8 - WDI | Watchdog input | Edge-sensitive input; clears watchdog timer on rising/falling transition; floating = active watchdog |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-mode watchdog timer | 35s startup delay + 1.12s normal timeout - eliminates false triggers during boot while ensuring fast lockup response |
| Triple independent voltage monitoring | VCC1 (2.925V), VCC2 (2.188V), RSTIN (626mV) - supports complex multirail systems without external comparators |
| Guaranteed reset validity down to +0.8V | Functional reset assertion even as VCC1/VCC2 decay to 0.8V - ensures last-chance system recovery before brownout |
| 100ns MR glitch rejection | Rejects noise spikes shorter than 100ns on manual reset line - prevents spurious resets in noisy industrial environments |
| Immunity to short VCC transients | No reset issued for falling transients ≤10µs at 75mV overdrive - maintains stability during switching regulator ripple |
Applications
| Telecom Line Card Power Supervision | Industrial PLC CPU Module |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6734AKASVD3+T | VCC2 threshold = +1.575V (V suffix) instead of +2.188V (Y); same RSTIN, D3 timeout, SOT23-8 package | Better suited for dual-rail systems with 1.8V/1.5V domains (e.g., LPDDR2 memory + low-power MCU) | Select when secondary supply is ≤1.6V; verify RSTIN divider ratio accommodates lower VCC2 headroom |
| MAX6735AKASHD3+T | Push-pull RST/WDO outputs instead of open-drain; identical thresholds, timeout, and pinout | Eliminates need for external pullups; preferred where reset signal must drive multiple loads or high-capacitance buses | Choose for simplified layout in dense PCBs or when interfacing with push-pull-only µP reset inputs |
Compared with MAX6734AKASHD3+T, MAX6734AKASVD3+T shifts VCC2 monitoring lower for sub-1.8V systems, while MAX6735AKASHD3+T replaces open-drain outputs with push-pull - both retain identical watchdog behavior, temperature range, and RSTIN functionality, enabling direct substitution with minor schematic adjustments.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for VCC1 and VCC2 on MAX6734AKASHD3+T?
The MAX6734AKASHD3+T has a VCC1 reset threshold of +2.925V (S suffix) and VCC2 threshold of +2.188V (Y suffix), both with ±1.5% tolerance over -40°C to +125°C. These values are factory-trimmed and specified in Table 1 of the datasheet; the "SH" suffix in the part number directly encodes this combination.
Does MAX6734AKASHD3+T support manual reset, and how is it implemented?
Yes, MAX6734AKASHD3+T includes an active-low manual reset input (MR) on pin 7. It features a 50kΩ internal pullup to VCC1, accepts CMOS logic levels, and requires a minimum 1µs pulse width. Driving MR low forces RST assertion for the full 210ms timeout period, making it ideal for front-panel reset buttons or test-mode entry.
How does the watchdog timer behave during power-up of MAX6734AKASHD3+T?
Upon power-up or reset assertion, MAX6734AKASHD3+T enters a 35s minimum initial watchdog mode (tWD-L), allowing ample time for system initialization. After the first valid WDI edge or expiration of tWD-L, it switches to 1.12s minimum normal mode (tWD-S). This dual-mode architecture prevents premature timeouts during boot while ensuring rapid response to runtime hangs.
Can MAX6734AKASHD3+T monitor a 1.2V supply rail, and if so, how?
Yes, MAX6734AKASHD3+T can monitor a 1.2V rail using the RSTIN pin (pin 6), which has a fixed 626mV internal reference. Connect a resistive divider (e.g., R1 = 110kΩ, R2 = 120kΩ) from the 1.2V rail to RSTIN and GND to scale the voltage to 626mV. The device's ±100nA RSTIN input current enables high-resistor values, minimizing divider power loss.
What package type and dimensions does MAX6734AKASHD3+T use?
MAX6734AKASHD3+T uses an 8-pin SOT23-8 package (K8S-3), with body dimensions of 3.00mm × 1.75mm × 1.30mm, gull-wing leads, and JEDEC MO178 BA compliance. Pin pitch is 0.65mm, and the package supports reflow soldering per J-STD-020; the "+T" suffix confirms lead-free finish.
