Product details
Overview
MAX6735AKASHD3+ 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 push-pull RESET and WDO outputs, 210ms reset timeout, and operation from -40°C to +125°C. It ensures system reliability in multivoltage embedded controllers requiring precise brownout detection and fail-safe watchdog supervision.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6735AKASHD3+ datasheet, MAX6735AKASHD3+ pinout, MAX6735AKASHD3+ application, or MAX6735AKASHD3+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual fixed-threshold + adjustable third-channel architecture, push-pull active-low reset and watchdog outputs, 14µA typical supply current, immunity to short VCC transients, and guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = +0.8V.
Technical Context
The MAX6735AKASHD3+ implements a triple-supply monitoring architecture: VCC1 and VCC2 are monitored against factory-trimmed thresholds (+2.925V and +2.188V respectively), while RSTIN accepts an external voltage divider to monitor a third rail down to +0.63V using a precision 626mV internal reference. All three comparators feed into a shared reset timer with 210ms timeout (D3 suffix).
Its watchdog subsystem operates in dual-mode: a 35s minimum startup delay after reset enables full system initialization, followed by a 1.12s minimum normal timeout period triggered by WDI edge transitions. The push-pull RESET and WDO outputs eliminate need for external pullups and support direct interfacing with bidirectional µP reset pins when used with a 10kΩ series resistor.

Pinout & Package
MAX6735AKASHD3+ is housed in an 8-pin SOT23-8 package (K8S-3), measuring 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm, with gull-wing leads and JEDEC MO-178 compliant outline. The package supports reflow soldering and is available in lead-free (+T) configuration.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RST | Active-low reset output | Push-pull driver; asserts low on VCC1/VCC2/RSTIN undervoltage or MR assertion; no external pullup required |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Common return for all internal circuitry and comparator references; must be low-impedance connection |
| 3 - VCC2 | Secondary supply input | Monitored at +2.188V threshold; powers internal circuitry when VCC2 > VCC1; supports 0.8V–5.5V range |
| 4 - MR | Active-low manual reset input | Internal 50kΩ pullup to VCC1; drives RST low when asserted; 1µs minimum pulse width accepted |
| 5 - WDI | Watchdog input | Edge-sensitive; clears watchdog timer on rising/falling transition; floating state does not disable watchdog |
| 6 - VCC1 | Primary supply input | Monitored at +2.925V threshold; powers device when VCC1 > VCC2; supports 0.8V–5.5V range |
| 7 - RSTIN | Adjustable reset comparator input | High-impedance (±100nA) input referenced to 626mV; used with external divider to monitor third voltage |
| 8 - WDO | Active-low watchdog output | Push-pull driver; asserts low if WDI remains static beyond timeout; deasserts immediately upon valid WDI edge |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple-voltage monitoring | Simultaneously supervises two factory-set supplies (VCC1/VCC2) plus one user-adjustable rail (RSTIN), reducing BOM count vs. discrete solutions |
| Dual-mode watchdog timer | 35s startup delay enables full system boot before watchdog activation; 1.12s normal timeout provides rapid fault response during runtime |
| Push-pull RESET/WDO outputs | Eliminates need for external pullup resistors, reduces component count, and improves noise immunity in high-speed digital environments |
| Guaranteed reset down to VCC = +0.8V | Ensures valid reset assertion during deep brownout conditions, critical for nonvolatile memory write protection and safe power-down sequencing |
| Immunity to short VCC transients | Rejects glitches ≤10µs (at 75mV overdrive), preventing spurious resets in noisy power environments such as motor drives or switching regulators |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Controller | Telecom Line Card |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6734AKASHD3+ | Same pinout and thresholds, but open-drain RESET and WDO outputs require external pullups | Suitable where level translation or wired-OR reset bus is needed; incompatible with direct µP reset pin drive without series resistor | Select when system requires reset signal sharing across multiple supervisors or compatibility with legacy open-drain designs |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Dual-voltage supervisor only (no RSTIN), 3.3V fixed VDD threshold, 200ms timeout, 2.5µA supply current | Lacks third adjustable monitoring channel; optimized for low-power single-rail applications rather than multivoltage systems | Choose for cost-sensitive, single-supply designs where RSTIN functionality is unnecessary and ultra-low quiescent current is prioritized |
Compared with MAX6734AKASHD3+, the MAX6735AKASHD3+ offers direct-drive capability for µP reset pins without external components, while versus TPS3808G33DBVR it delivers essential triple-rail supervision for complex SoC platforms-making it optimal for new multivoltage embedded designs requiring robust, integrated reset and watchdog control.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for VCC1 and VCC2 on the MAX6735AKASHD3+?
The MAX6735AKASHD3+ has factory-set thresholds of +2.925V for VCC1 (SH suffix) and +2.188V for VCC2 (Y suffix), with ±1.5% tolerance over the full -40°C to +125°C range. These values are laser-trimmed during production and specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under VTH1 and VTH2 parameters. The SH/Y combination is confirmed in Table 1 of the datasheet and matches the top-mark code +AEOM.
Does the MAX6735AKASHD3+ support monitoring a third voltage, and how is it configured?
Yes, the MAX6735AKASHD3+ supports third-voltage monitoring via the RSTIN pin, which features a precision 626mV internal reference. To monitor a higher voltage (e.g., +3.3V), connect a resistive divider between the supply and GND, with the midpoint fed to RSTIN. The divider ratio is calculated as R2/(R1+R2) = 626mV/VMON. The MAX6735AKASHD3+ datasheet Figure 2 shows this configuration, and RSTIN leakage is limited to ±100nA to minimize divider error.
What is the function of the MR pin on the MAX6735AKASHD3+, and what are its electrical requirements?
The MR (Manual Reset) pin on the MAX6735AKASHD3+ is an active-low input that forces RST assertion when pulled below 0.3×VCC1. It includes a 50kΩ internal pullup to VCC1, so it may be left unconnected if unused. The pin accepts CMOS logic levels, requires a minimum 1µs pulse width, and rejects glitches shorter than 100ns. Driving MR low holds RST active for the full 210ms timeout after release, making it ideal for front-panel reset buttons or test-mode entry.
How does the watchdog timer operate on the MAX6735AKASHD3+, and what are its timing modes?
The MAX6735AKASHD3+ watchdog operates in two distinct modes: a 35s minimum startup delay (tWD-L) after any reset event (power-up, brownout, or MR assertion), allowing full system initialization; then a 1.12s minimum normal timeout (tWD-S) triggered by each valid WDI edge. The timer clears on any rising or falling edge at WDI and asserts WDO low if no edge occurs within the active timeout window. This dual-mode architecture prevents false timeouts during boot while enabling rapid fault detection during runtime.
What package type and footprint does the MAX6735AKASHD3+ use, and are there layout considerations?
The MAX6735AKASHD3+ uses an 8-pin SOT23-8 package (K8S-3), with 0.65mm pitch, 2.9mm × 1.6mm body size, and gull-wing leads. Layout best practices include placing a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor between VCC1 and GND as close as possible to the device, routing RST and WDO traces away from noisy switching nodes, and using short, direct connections for MR and WDI to minimize EMI susceptibility. The datasheet Package Information section provides mechanical drawings and solder profile guidance.
