Product details
Overview
MAX6734KATZD3+T from Maxim Integrated is a triple-voltage microprocessor supervisor IC with independent watchdog timer, monitoring VCC1 (4.625V threshold), VCC2 (2.313V threshold), and adjustable RSTIN (626mV reference), featuring open-drain RST/WDO outputs, manual reset input, and 140ms–280ms reset timeout. It ensures reliable power-on reset and brownout detection in multivoltage embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6734KATZD3+T datasheet, MAX6734KATZD3+T pinout, MAX6734KATZD3+T application, or MAX6734KATZD3+T equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, SOT23-8 pin mapping, real-world use cases in telecom and industrial equipment, and two validated alternative parts with documented functional differences.
Technical Context
The MAX6734KATZD3+T implements dual-threshold voltage monitoring (VCC1/VCC2) plus a high-impedance adjustable comparator input (RSTIN) referenced to an internal 626mV bandgap. Its reset logic asserts active-low RST when any monitored supply falls below its factory-set threshold or when MR is pulled low.
It integrates a dual-mode watchdog timer: 35s minimum startup delay after reset, followed by 1.12s minimum normal-mode timeout; WDI edge detection clears the timer, and WDO asserts independently of RST. All functions operate across –40°C to +85°C with guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = +0.8V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC1 Reset Threshold | 4.625V (factory-set, L suffix), ensures reliable reset at +4.63V nominal supply |
| VCC2 Reset Threshold | 2.313V (factory-set, Z suffix), matches common +2.3V auxiliary rails |
| RSTIN Threshold | 626.5mV (typ), enables precise monitoring of third voltage via external resistor divider |
| Reset Timeout Period | 140ms (min) / 280ms (max), D3 suffix provides mid-range delay for stable initialization |
| Watchdog Startup Delay | 35s (min), allows full system boot before watchdog enforcement begins |
| Supply Current | 15µA (typ at +3.6V), minimizes quiescent load in battery-powered applications |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C, fully specified for industrial-grade reliability |
Pinout & Package
MAX6734KATZD3+T is housed in an 8-pin SOT23 package (K8SN+1 outline), measuring 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm, with exposed pad for thermal performance. Pin 1 is marked with a dot; device orientation follows JEDEC MO-178AB standard.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RST | Active-low open-drain reset output; requires external pullup; asserts during VCC1/VCC2/RSTIN undervoltage or MR activation |
| 2 | GND | Power ground reference for all internal comparators and logic |
| 3 | VCC2 | Secondary supply input; powers secondary monitor and contributes to device biasing |
| 4 | MR | Active-low manual reset input; internally pulled up to VCC1 (50kΩ); debounced by design |
| 5 | RSTIN | Adjustable reset comparator input; high-impedance (±25nA), referenced to 626mV internal reference |
| 6 | WDI | Watchdog input; edge-sensitive; resets watchdog timer on rising/falling transitions |
| 7 | WDO | Active-low open-drain watchdog output; independent of RST; asserts on WDI timeout or VCC fault |
| 8 | VCC1 | Primary supply input; powers core circuitry and primary reset monitor; dominant supply above VCC2 |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple-voltage supervision | Simultaneously monitors VCC1 (+4.625V), VCC2 (+2.313V), and adjustable RSTIN (down to +0.63V), reducing need for discrete supervisors |
| Dual-mode watchdog timer | 35s startup delay enables safe boot; 1.12s normal timeout detects runtime lockups without false triggers |
| Immunity to VCC transients | Rejects short-duration falling glitches (e.g., <100ns at 100mV overdrive), preventing spurious resets |
| Low-power operation | 15µA typical supply current at +3.6V supports always-on monitoring in portable systems |
| Guaranteed reset down to 0.8V | Ensures valid RST assertion even during deep brownout, critical for fail-safe shutdown sequencing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6734KALTD3+T | VCC2 threshold = 2.925V (L suffix) vs. 2.313V (Z); otherwise identical pinout, timing, and features | Suitable for systems with +3.0V secondary rail instead of +2.3V; requires revalidation of VCC2 margin | Select when monitoring higher VCC2 voltages; same SOT23-8 footprint and reset timeout |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single-supply supervisor (3.3V only); no RSTIN input or dual-VCC monitoring; push-pull RST; 200ms timeout | Lacks triple-monitoring capability; cannot replace MAX6734KATZD3+T in multivoltage designs without additional components | Use only in single-rail applications where VCC1 = VCC2 = 3.3V and no adjustable monitoring is needed |
Compared with MAX6734KATZD3+T, MAX6734KALTD3+T offers identical architecture with shifted VCC2 threshold for different rail voltages, while TPS3808G33DBVR provides simpler single-rail supervision but omits critical triple-monitoring and adjustable input functionality required for complex embedded systems.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for VCC1 and VCC2 on the MAX6734KATZD3+T?
The MAX6734KATZD3+T has a VCC1 reset threshold of 4.625V (L suffix) and a VCC2 reset threshold of 2.313V (Z suffix), both factory-trimmed and guaranteed over temperature. These values are fixed per the part number suffix and do not require external configuration. The MAX6734KATZD3+T uses these precise thresholds to supervise primary and secondary rails without trimming resistors or calibration.
Does the MAX6734KATZD3+T support adjustable voltage monitoring, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the MAX6734KATZD3+T supports adjustable voltage monitoring via its RSTIN pin, which features a 626.5mV (typ) internal reference. To monitor voltages above 626mV, connect a resistive divider from the target rail to RSTIN and GND. The MAX6734KATZD3+T asserts RST when the divided voltage drops below the reference, enabling supervision of a third rail such as +5V, +12V, or battery voltage.
What is the watchdog timeout behavior of the MAX6734KATZD3+T during power-up?
The MAX6734KATZD3+T implements a dual-mode watchdog: after any reset event (power-up, brownout, or MR assertion), it enters a 35s minimum startup delay before enforcing the normal 1.12s timeout. This allows time for full system initialization. The MAX6734KATZD3+T does not assert WDO during startup unless WDI remains static beyond 35s, preventing premature resets during boot.
Is the MAX6734KATZD3+T pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX6730–MAX6735 family?
Yes, the MAX6734KATZD3+T shares the same 8-pin SOT23-8 (K8SN+1) package and pinout with all MAX6734/MAX6735 variants, including MAX6734KALTD3+T and MAX6735KAxxDx+T. Pin functions (RST, GND, VCC2, MR, RSTIN, WDI, WDO, VCC1) are identical across the MAX6734/MAX6735 series, enabling drop-in replacement when voltage thresholds and output type match.
What are the absolute maximum ratings for VCC1 and VCC2 on the MAX6734KATZD3+T?
The MAX6734KATZD3+T specifies absolute maximum ratings of –0.3V to +6V for VCC1 and VCC2 pins. Operation is guaranteed within 0.8V to 5.5V per Electrical Characteristics. Exceeding +6V risks permanent damage; the device is not rated for 12V or higher supplies without external clamping or regulation. Always observe these limits in MAX6734KATZD3+T designs.
