Product details
Overview
MAX6735AKALTD3+ from Maxim Integrated is a triple-voltage microprocessor supervisor IC with independent watchdog output, monitoring +4.625V (VCC1), +3.075V (VCC2), and an adjustable input down to +0.63V via RSTIN. It features push-pull RESET and WDO outputs, 210ms reset timeout (D3), and operates across –40°C to +125°C. Used in multivoltage telecom and industrial systems to ensure reliable power-on reset and processor lockup recovery.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6735AKALTD3+ datasheet, MAX6735AKALTD3+ pinout, MAX6735AKALTD3+ application, or MAX6735AKALTD3+ equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, factory-set thresholds, watchdog timing behavior, SOT23-8 package layout, and real-world substitution guidance - all confirmed against Maxim's official documentation and ordering data.
Technical Context
The MAX6735AKALTD3+ implements a dual-mode watchdog timer: a 35s minimum startup delay after reset enables full system initialization, followed by a 1.12s minimum normal-mode timeout for rapid fault detection. Its triple-monitor architecture uses dedicated comparators for VCC1, VCC2, and RSTIN - the latter referenced to a stable 626mV internal threshold with ±3mV hysteresis and <100nA input current.
Reset assertion is guaranteed down to VCC1 or VCC2 = +0.8V, and the push-pull RST/WDO outputs drive high to 0.8×VCC1 at 500µA, low to ≤0.4V at 3.2mA. Immunity to short VCC transients is ensured by ≥100ns glitch rejection and validated transient duration vs. overdrive curves.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC1 Reset Threshold | +4.625V nominal (LT suffix), ±125mV tolerance - sets primary supply brownout detection level for +5V rail monitoring |
| VCC2 Reset Threshold | +3.075V nominal (LT suffix), ±75mV tolerance - configures secondary supply monitoring for +3.3V logic rails |
| RSTIN Threshold | +626.5mV typical, ±15.5mV - enables precise third-rail monitoring (e.g., +1.2V core) via external resistor divider |
| Reset Timeout Period | 210ms nominal (D3 suffix), 140–280ms range - determines minimum reset pulse width for safe µP initialization |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.12s min normal mode, 35s min startup mode - prevents false resets during boot while enabling fast lockup detection in runtime |
| Supply Current | 14µA typical at +3.6V - enables always-on supervision in battery-critical portable equipment without significant drain |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial PLC, and telecom base station environments |
Pinout & Package
MAX6735AKALTD3+ is housed in an 8-pin SOT23-8 package (K8S-3), measuring 3.00mm × 1.75mm × 1.30mm with gull-wing leads and JEDEC MO178 BA compliance. Pin 1 identified by dot; lead finish is lead-free (+T suffix).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RST | Active-low reset output | Push-pull driver asserts low when VCC1/VCC2/RSTIN drop below threshold or MR is pulled low; drives high to 0.8×VCC1 |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Common return for all internal comparators, watchdog logic, and I/O; must be low-impedance for noise immunity |
| 3 - VCC2 | Secondary supply input | Power source and monitored voltage for second rail; supplies comparator bias when VCC2 > VCC1 |
| 4 - WDO | Active-low watchdog output | Push-pull output asserts low on WDI timeout or undervoltage; deasserts immediately when valid edge detected |
| 5 - VCC1 | Primary supply input | Main power and monitored voltage for first rail; powers internal circuitry when VCC1 > VCC2 |
| 6 - RSTIN | Adjustable reset comparator input | High-impedance (±100nA) node referenced to 626mV; accepts divided-down voltages up to VCC1 |
| 7 - WDI | Watchdog input | Edge-sensitive input; rising/falling transitions clear watchdog timer; floating state does not disable function |
| 8 - MR | Active-low manual reset input | CMOS-compatible input with 50kΩ internal pullup; forces reset when driven low; supports momentary switch interface |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple-supply monitoring | Simultaneous tracking of VCC1 (+4.625V), VCC2 (+3.075V), and RSTIN (adjustable down to +0.63V) eliminates need for discrete supervisors |
| Dual-mode watchdog | 35s startup delay allows full firmware boot before watchdog enforcement begins; 1.12s runtime timeout ensures prompt lockup response |
| Push-pull RST/WDO outputs | No external pullup required; drives high to 0.8×VCC1 at 500µA and low to ≤0.4V at 3.2mA - simplifies interface with bidirectional µP reset pins |
| Manual reset with glitch rejection | 1µs minimum MR pulse width and 100ns glitch filter prevent spurious resets from noisy switch inputs or EMI |
| Low-power operation | 14µA typical ICC at +3.6V enables integration into always-on subsystems without compromising battery life |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6734AKALTD3+ | Same pinout and thresholds, but open-drain RST/WDO outputs requiring external pullups | Suitable where level-shifting or wired-OR reset buses are used; incompatible with direct push-pull µP reset pins without series resistor | Select when interfacing with legacy µPs requiring open-drain reset arbitration or multi-source reset lines |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Dual-voltage monitor only (no RSTIN), fixed 3.3V VDD threshold, 200ms timeout, 2.5µA IQ | Lacks third-rail monitoring and manual reset; optimized for ultra-low-power single-rail apps | Choose only if monitoring only two rails and lowest possible supply current is mandatory - sacrifices flexibility and feature set |
Compared with MAX6734AKALTD3+, the MAX6735AKALTD3+ provides push-pull outputs for direct µP interface and eliminates external pullup components; versus TPS3808G33DBVR, it adds critical third-rail supervision and MR functionality essential for complex embedded systems.

FAQ
What reset timeout period is implemented in MAX6735AKALTD3+?
The MAX6735AKALTD3+ uses the D3 reset timeout suffix, providing a nominal 210ms reset pulse width (range: 140ms to 280ms). This duration ensures sufficient time for microprocessor and peripheral initialization after power-up or brownout recovery, and is factory-trimmed - no external components required to set or adjust it.
Does MAX6735AKALTD3+ support monitoring a third voltage rail?
Yes, MAX6735AKALTD3+ includes an RSTIN pin with a precise 626.5mV internal reference threshold, enabling monitoring of a third voltage rail (e.g., +1.2V core) via an external resistor divider. This capability distinguishes it from dual-rail variants like MAX6732A/MAX6733A and eliminates the need for a second supervisor IC.
What is the function of the MR pin on MAX6735AKALTD3+?
The MR (Manual Reset) pin on MAX6735AKALTD3+ is an active-low input with a 50kΩ internal pullup resistor. Driving MR low forces an immediate reset assertion on RST for the full timeout period, regardless of supply voltages. It supports momentary switch interfaces and is essential for field service, test modes, and firmware update sequences.
How does the watchdog timer operate in MAX6735AKALTD3+?
MAX6735AKALTD3+ features a dual-mode watchdog: a 35s minimum startup delay after reset allows full system boot, then transitions to a 1.12s minimum normal timeout. WDI edge detection clears the timer; absence of edges within timeout asserts WDO low. The independent WDO output enables hardware-level recovery without software involvement.
Is MAX6735AKALTD3+ compatible with bidirectional µP reset pins?
Yes - MAX6735AKALTD3+ uses push-pull RST and WDO outputs, which safely interface with bidirectional µP reset I/O ports. Unlike open-drain variants, it avoids logic contention; a 10kΩ series resistor is recommended only if the µP actively drives the line during reset release to prevent bus conflicts.
