Product details
Overview
MAX6735KARVD3+ from Maxim Integrated is a triple-voltage microprocessor supervisor IC with independent watchdog output, monitoring VCC1 (+3.075V nominal), VCC2 (+2.313V nominal), and an adjustable RSTIN input (626mV threshold). It features push-pull RESET and WDO outputs, 140–280ms reset timeout, manual reset input, and operates across –40°C to +85°C. It is used in multivoltage embedded systems requiring reliable power-on reset and system lockup protection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6735KARVD3+ datasheet, MAX6735KARVD3+ pinout, MAX6735KARVD3+ application, or MAX6735KARVD3+ equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual fixed-threshold supervision (VCC1/VCC2), third adjustable voltage monitor, push-pull active-low reset and watchdog outputs, 14µA typical supply current, and SOT23-8 package compatibility with space-constrained industrial and telecom designs.
Technical Context
The MAX6735KARVD3+ implements a triple-supply monitoring architecture: two factory-set thresholds (VTH1 = 3.075V, VTH2 = 2.313V) for primary and secondary rails, plus a high-impedance RSTIN comparator referenced to an internal 626mV bandgap. Its watchdog timer operates in dual-mode-35s minimum startup delay after reset, then 1.12s minimum normal timeout-ensuring safe boot initialization and rapid fault detection during runtime.
Reset assertion is synchronized across all monitored inputs: VCC1, VCC2, RSTIN, or MR. The push-pull RST and WDO outputs drive low without external pullups, guaranteeing valid reset signaling down to VCC1/VCC2 = +0.8V. Immunity to sub-100ns VCC transients and 0.5% reset threshold hysteresis enhance noise robustness in noisy power environments.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| VCC1 Reset Threshold | 3.075V (nominal); monitors +3.3V rail with ±1.5% tolerance over temperature |
| VCC2 Reset Threshold | 2.313V (nominal); monitors +2.5V or +1.8V rail with ±1.5% tolerance |
| RSTIN Threshold | 626mV (typical); enables monitoring of third voltage via resistive divider (e.g., +5V, +3.3V) |
| Reset Timeout Period | 140–280ms (D3 option); ensures sufficient hold time for processor initialization |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6734KARVD3+ | Same triple-supply architecture and pinout, but open-drain RST/WDO outputs require external pullups | Better suited for wired-OR reset buses or level-shifting interfaces where open-drain behavior is required | Select MAX6734KARVD3+ only if system design mandates open-drain reset signaling or shared reset bus topology |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single-supply supervisor (3.3V only), no RSTIN input, no manual reset, 200ms fixed timeout, SOT23-6 | Limited to single-rail monitoring; lacks adjustable third input and manual reset capability | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR only for cost-sensitive, single-voltage applications where triple monitoring is unnecessary |

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for VCC1 and VCC2 on the MAX6735KARVD3+?
The MAX6735KARVD3+ has factory-set thresholds: VCC1 = 3.075V (T suffix) and VCC2 = 2.313V (R suffix), with ±1.5% tolerance over –40°C to +85°C. These values are confirmed in the Reset Voltage Threshold Suffix Guide (Table 1) and Electrical Characteristics section of the datasheet. The MAX6735KARVD3+ uses these precise thresholds to supervise common +3.3V and +2.5V rails without external calibration.
Does the MAX6735KARVD3+ support monitoring a third voltage higher than 626mV?
Yes-the MAX6735KARVD3+ includes the RSTIN pin with a fixed 626mV internal reference. To monitor voltages above 626mV (e.g., +5V or +12V), connect a resistive divider between the target rail and RSTIN so that the divided voltage equals 626mV at the trip point. The MAX6735KARVD3+ datasheet provides the formula VEXT_TH = 626mV × (R1 + R2)/R2 for calculating resistor values.
What is the function of the MR pin on the MAX6735KARVD3+ and how should it be used?
The MR (Manual Reset) pin on the MAX6735KARVD3+ is an active-low input with a 50kΩ internal pullup to VCC1. Driving MR low forces an immediate reset assertion for the full timeout period (140–280ms). It accepts TTL/CMOS logic levels and requires only a 1µs minimum pulse width. For field service, connect a momentary switch from MR to GND; no external debounce is needed due to built-in 100ns glitch rejection.
How does the watchdog timer operate in the MAX6735KARVD3+ during power-up?
The MAX6735KARVD3+ watchdog timer starts in a 35s minimum startup mode after any reset event (power-on, brownout, or MR assertion). This extended period allows full system initialization before watchdog enforcement begins. After the first valid edge on WDI-or after 35s expires-it switches to normal mode with a 1.12s minimum timeout. This dual-mode behavior prevents false timeouts during boot while ensuring rapid hang detection during runtime.
Is the MAX6735KARVD3+ compatible with bidirectional µP reset pins?
Yes-the MAX6735KARVD3+'s push-pull RST output can interface with bidirectional µP reset pins when a 10kΩ series resistor is placed between RST and the µP pin. This prevents logic contention during µP-driven reset assertion. The MAX6735KARVD3+ datasheet explicitly recommends this configuration in Figure 5, confirming safe interoperability without risk of bus conflict or excessive current draw.
