Product details
Overview
The MAX6735KALTD3+T from Maxim Integrated is a triple-voltage microprocessor supervisor IC with independent watchdog output, monitoring VCC1 at 4.625V, VCC2 at 3.075V, and an adjustable RSTIN input (626mV threshold), featuring push-pull RESET and WDO outputs, 140–280ms reset timeout, and operation from -40°C to +85°C - used in multivoltage telecom and industrial systems for reliable power-on reset and lockup recovery.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6735KALTD3+T datasheet, MAX6735KALTD3+T pinout, MAX6735KALTD3+T application, or MAX6735KALTD3+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual fixed-threshold supervision (4.625V/3.075V), third adjustable voltage monitor, push-pull active-low reset and watchdog outputs, 140–280ms reset timeout, and SOT23-8 package compatibility with space-constrained embedded designs.
Technical Context
The MAX6735KALTD3+T implements a triple-supply monitoring architecture: two factory-set thresholds (VCC1 = 4.625V, VCC2 = 3.075V) and one high-impedance adjustable comparator input (RSTIN = 626mV reference) enabling precise third-rail supervision down to 0.63V via external divider. Its reset assertion logic guarantees validity down to VCC ≥ +0.8V.
It integrates a dual-mode watchdog timer: 35s minimum startup delay after reset for system initialization, followed by 1.12s minimum normal-mode timeout; both modes drive an independent active-low push-pull WDO output. The manual reset (MR) input features internal 50kΩ pullup and 200ns propagation delay to RST.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC1 Threshold | 4.625V (factory-set; ensures reliable reset assertion when primary supply drops below nominal 4.63V rail) |
| VCC2 Threshold | 3.075V (factory-set; monitors secondary 3.3V rail with ±75mV hysteresis) |
| RSTIN Threshold | 626mV (internal reference; enables monitoring of third rail ≥0.63V using external resistor divider) |
| Reset Timeout | 140–280ms (D3 option; defines minimum reset pulse width for safe μP initialization) |
| Watchdog Startup Delay | 35s min (allows full system boot before watchdog begins normal monitoring) |
| Normal Watchdog Timeout | 1.12s min (detects software hang within sub-second window after initialization) |
| Supply Current | 15µA typ at +3.6V (enables long battery life in portable equipment) |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C (fully specified for industrial and extended-temperature applications) |
Pinout & Package
MAX6735KALTD3+T is housed in an 8-pin SOT23 package (K8SN+1 outline, JEDEC MO-178AA), measuring 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm, with exposed pad optional for thermal enhancement.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RST | Active-low push-pull reset output; asserts low on VCC1/VCC2/RSTIN undervoltage or MR activation; drives μP reset pin directly without external pullup |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference for all internal comparators, timers, and I/O; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| 3 | VCC2 | Secondary supply input; powers internal circuitry when > VCC1 and serves as monitored rail with 3.075V threshold |
| 4 | MR | Active-low manual reset input; internally pulled up to VCC1 (50kΩ); initiates reset and clears watchdog on logic-low assertion |
| 5 | RSTIN | Adjustable reset comparator input; high-impedance (±25nA) node referenced to 626mV; accepts divided-down voltages ≥0.63V |
| 6 | WDI | Watchdog input; edge-sensitive (rising/falling); resets watchdog timer on each valid transition; unconnected requires 100kΩ pulldown |
| 7 | WDO | Active-low push-pull watchdog output; asserts low on WDI timeout or VCC/RSTIN undervoltage; deasserts immediately upon recovery |
| 8 | VCC1 | Primary supply input; powers device when > VCC2 and serves as monitored rail with 4.625V threshold; supplies internal reference and logic |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple-voltage supervision | Simultaneously monitors two fixed rails (4.625V/3.075V) and one user-adjustable rail (via RSTIN), reducing need for discrete supervisors or external resistors |
| Dual-mode watchdog timer | 35s startup delay enables full boot sequence completion; 1.12s normal timeout provides rapid lockup detection post-initialization |
| Push-pull RST and WDO outputs | Eliminates need for external pullup resistors, simplifying PCB layout and improving noise immunity in high-speed digital systems |
| Guaranteed reset validity to 0.8V | Ensures clean reset assertion even during brownout conditions where VCC1 or VCC2 dips near operational floor |
| Immunity to short VCC transients | Rejects <100ns glitches on supply rails, preventing spurious resets in electrically noisy environments like motor drives or switching PSUs |
| Low 15µA supply current | Minimizes quiescent power draw in always-on subsystems such as battery-backed real-time clocks or remote sensors |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6734KALTD3+T | Same pinout and thresholds, but open-drain RST/WDO outputs requiring external pullups | Suitable for systems needing level-shifting or wired-OR reset bus configurations | Select when interfacing with bidirectional μP reset pins or shared reset buses where open-drain drive is required |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single-supply supervisor (3.3V only), no adjustable RSTIN, no independent WDO, 200ms timeout | Limited to single-rail monitoring; lacks triple-voltage capability and dedicated watchdog output | Choose only for cost-sensitive, single-rail applications where third-rail supervision and watchdog independence are unnecessary |
Compared with MAX6734KALTD3+T and TPS3808G33DBVR, the MAX6735KALTD3+T uniquely delivers triple-rail supervision with push-pull outputs and independent watchdog signaling in a compact SOT23-8 package - essential for space-constrained, multivoltage systems requiring deterministic reset and lockup recovery without external components.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for VCC1 on the MAX6735KALTD3+T?
The MAX6735KALTD3+T has a factory-set VCC1 reset threshold of 4.625V (typical), with a guaranteed range of 4.500V to 4.750V at 25°C. This value corresponds to the "LT" suffix in Maxim's Reset Voltage Threshold Suffix Guide and is fully specified over the -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range. The MAX6735KALTD3+T uses this threshold to monitor primary supply rails such as +4.63V or +5V systems.
Does the MAX6735KALTD3+T support monitoring a third voltage rail, and how is it configured?
Yes, the MAX6735KALTD3+T supports third-rail monitoring via its RSTIN pin, which features a precise 626mV internal reference. To supervise voltages above 626mV, connect a resistive voltage divider between the target rail and GND, with the midpoint fed to RSTIN. The MAX6735KALTD3+T asserts reset if the divided voltage falls below 626mV. This enables flexible supervision of rails such as +1.2V, +1.8V, or +2.5V using standard resistor values.
What are the watchdog timeout periods supported by the MAX6735KALTD3+T?
The MAX6735KALTD3+T implements a dual-mode watchdog timer: a minimum 35-second startup delay after reset to allow full system initialization, followed by a minimum 1.12-second timeout in normal operation. These values are fixed architecture features - not user-programmable - and apply regardless of reset timeout setting (D3 = 140–280ms). The MAX6735KALTD3+T uses these intervals to prevent premature watchdog assertion during boot while ensuring rapid lockup detection thereafter.
Is the MAX6735KALTD3+T compatible with bidirectional microprocessor reset pins?
Yes, but with caution: the MAX6735KALTD3+T's push-pull RST output can cause contention with bidirectional μP reset I/O ports. To avoid logic conflict, insert a 10kΩ series resistor between the MAX6735KALTD3+T RST pin and the μP reset pin. This limits current during potential state conflicts while preserving reset signal integrity. The MAX6735KALTD3+T datasheet explicitly recommends this configuration for safe interoperability.
What package type and RoHS status does the MAX6735KALTD3+T use?
The MAX6735KALTD3+T is supplied in an 8-pin SOT23 package (K8SN+1 outline, JEDEC MO-178AA) with lead(Pb)-free, RoHS-compliant construction indicated by the "+T" suffix. It measures 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm and features gull-wing leads compatible with standard reflow soldering profiles, including peak temperatures up to +260°C. The MAX6735KALTD3+T is not automotive-qualified (no "/V" suffix), and operates across the industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C).
