Product details
Overview
MAX6735AKALTD3+T 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 (RSTIN), featuring 210ms reset timeout, push-pull RST/WDO outputs, and manual reset input - deployed in telecom power sequencing and multivoltage embedded controllers.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6735AKALTD3+T datasheet, MAX6735AKALTD3+T pinout, MAX6735AKALTD3+T application, or MAX6735AKALTD3+T equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, temperature-stable threshold behavior (-40°C to +125°C), watchdog startup delay (35s min), supply current (14µA typ at +3.6V), and SOT23-8 package compatibility for industrial-grade system supervision.
Technical Context
The MAX6735AKALTD3+T implements dual-mode watchdog logic: a 35s minimum initial timeout after reset enables full system boot, followed by 1.12s minimum normal-mode timeout for rapid fault detection. Its triple-monitor architecture uses factory-set VCC1/VCC2 thresholds (LT suffix = 4.625V/3.075V) plus a precision 626mV internal reference for RSTIN, supporting external resistor-divider scaling.
Reset assertion is guaranteed valid down to VCC1 or VCC2 = +0.8V; the push-pull RST and WDO outputs drive loads directly without pullups, while MR features a 50kΩ internal pullup and 1µs minimum pulse width tolerance. Immunity to short VCC transients is confirmed via 75mV overdrive testing per typical characteristics.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC1 Reset Threshold | +4.625V nominal (LT suffix), ±125mV tolerance - sets primary supply brownout detection point for +5V rail supervision |
| VCC2 Reset Threshold | +3.075V nominal (LT suffix), ±75mV tolerance - monitors secondary +3.3V domain with 0.5% hysteresis |
| RSTIN Threshold | +626.5mV typical, ±15.5mV - enables third-supply monitoring down to +0.63V via external divider |
| Reset Timeout Period | 210ms nominal (D3 suffix), 140–280ms range - ensures sufficient hold time for processor initialization |
| Watchdog Timeout | 35s min initial period, 1.12s min normal period - accommodates boot sequences then enforces runtime code flow |
| Supply Current | 14µA typical at +3.6V - enables battery-backed operation in portable equipment with minimal quiescent load |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C - fully specified for under-hood automotive, industrial PLC, and telecom base station environments |
Pinout & Package
MAX6735AKALTD3+T is housed in an 8-pin SOT23-8 package (K8S-3), measuring 2.95mm × 1.60mm × 1.10mm, with gull-wing leads and JEDEC MO-178 compliant outline. Pin 1 marked by dot; lead finish is lead-free (RoHS-compliant).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RST | Active-low reset output | Push-pull driver; asserts low on VCC1/VCC2/RSTIN undervoltage or MR activation; no external pullup required |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Common return for all internal comparators, watchdog timer, and I/O; must be low-impedance connection |
| 3 - VCC2 | Secondary supply input | Monitors +3.075V rail; powers internal circuitry when VCC2 > VCC1; supports operation down to +0.8V |
| 4 - MR | Active-low manual reset input | Drives reset when pulled low; 50kΩ internal pullup to VCC1; 100ns glitch rejection; 1µs minimum pulse width |
| 5 - WDI | Watchdog input | Edge-sensitive; clears watchdog timer on rising/falling transition; floating state does not disable watchdog |
| 6 - VCC1 | Primary supply input | Monitors +4.625V rail; powers device when VCC1 > VCC2; defines main reset timing reference |
| 7 - RSTIN | Adjustable reset comparator input | High-impedance (±100nA) node referenced to 626.5mV; used with resistor divider to monitor third voltage |
| 8 - WDO | Active-low watchdog output | Push-pull driver; asserts low on WDI timeout or VCC1/VCC2/RSTIN undervoltage; deasserts immediately on recovery |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple-voltage monitoring | Simultaneous supervision of VCC1 (+4.625V), VCC2 (+3.075V), and RSTIN (scalable to ≥+0.63V) eliminates need for three discrete supervisors |
| Dual-mode watchdog timer | 35s startup delay prevents false timeout during boot; 1.12s runtime timeout ensures rapid lockup detection post-initialization |
| Push-pull RST and WDO outputs | Direct-drive capability removes external pullup resistors, reducing BOM count and PCB area in space-constrained designs |
| Guaranteed reset validity to +0.8V | Ensures clean reset assertion even during deep brownout conditions where VCC drops below 1.0V |
| Immunity to short VCC transients | Rejects glitches ≤75mV overdrive for durations up to 10µs (per typical curve), preventing spurious resets in noisy power domains |

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for VCC1 and VCC2 on the MAX6735AKALTD3+T?
The MAX6735AKALTD3+T uses the LT suffix, specifying a nominal VCC1 reset threshold of +4.625V (min +4.500V, max +4.750V) and a nominal VCC2 reset threshold of +3.075V (min +3.000V, max +3.150V), both with 0.5% hysteresis and 20ppm/°C tempco - confirmed in Table 1 and Electrical Characteristics sections of the datasheet.
Does the MAX6735AKALTD3+T support monitoring a third voltage below +0.63V?
No - the MAX6735AKALTD3+T's RSTIN input has a fixed 626.5mV internal reference; its minimum monitorable voltage is +0.63V (611mV min). Voltages below this cannot be reliably detected, as the comparator lacks sub-600mV reference capability. For lower thresholds, external amplification or alternative supervisors like MAX6369 must be considered.
How does the watchdog timer behave during power-up of the MAX6735AKALTD3+T?
Upon power-up or reset assertion, the MAX6735AKALTD3+T enters a 35s minimum initial watchdog mode (tWD-L), allowing full system boot before watchdog enforcement begins. After the first valid WDI edge or expiration of tWD-L, it switches to 1.12s minimum normal timeout (tWD-S), ensuring rapid fault detection during steady-state operation.
Can the manual reset input (MR) of the MAX6735AKALTD3+T be left floating?
No - the MR pin of the MAX6735AKALTD3+T has an internal 50kΩ pullup to VCC1, but leaving it floating risks noise-induced false resets. Maxim recommends connecting MR to VCC1 if unused, or using a normally-open momentary switch to GND for intentional reset. A 0.1µF capacitor to GND is advised for long-trace or noisy environments.
What is the maximum supply voltage the MAX6735AKALTD3+T can tolerate on VCC1 and VCC2?
The MAX6735AKALTD3+T supports VCC1 and VCC2 inputs from +0.8V to +5.5V per Absolute Maximum Ratings. Operation above +5.5V risks permanent damage; sustained operation at +5.5V is allowed only if all I/O connections are open and outputs are not asserted - design margins should target ≤+5.0V for reliability.
