Product details
Overview
MAX6735KASHD3 from Maxim Integrated is a triple-voltage microprocessor supervisor IC with independent watchdog output, monitoring VCC1 (+2.925V), VCC2 (+1.313V), and adjustable RSTIN (626mV threshold), featuring 140–280ms reset timeout, push-pull RST/WDO outputs, and manual reset input - used in multivoltage telecom and industrial systems to ensure reliable power-on initialization and runtime fault detection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6735KASHD3 datasheet, MAX6735KASHD3 pinout, MAX6735KASHD3 application, or MAX6735KASHD3 equivalent, this page delivers verified circuit role, factory-set dual fixed thresholds, adjustable third-voltage monitoring capability, watchdog startup delay (35s min), and SOT23-8 package compatibility for compact embedded designs.
Technical Context
The MAX6735KASHD3 implements a triple-supply monitoring architecture: two factory-trimmed comparators for VCC1 and VCC2, plus a high-impedance adjustable comparator on RSTIN referenced to an internal 626mV bandgap. It guarantees valid reset assertion down to VCC1/VCC2 = +0.8V and features hysteresis of 0.5% of threshold voltage.
Its dual-mode watchdog operates with a 35s minimum initial timeout after reset for system boot, then transitions to a 1.12s minimum normal timeout; WDI edge detection clears the timer, and WDO asserts low on timeout or undervoltage lockout - all with independent push-pull drive capability for both RST and WDO outputs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC1 Threshold | +2.925V nominal (S suffix), ±1.5% tolerance over -40°C to +85°C - sets primary supply monitor point for 3.3V rail supervision |
| VCC2 Threshold | +1.313V nominal (H suffix), ±1.5% tolerance - enables secondary monitoring of 1.5V/1.3V logic or memory rails |
| RSTIN Threshold | 626mV internal reference, ±2.5mV max deviation - supports external resistor divider for third-voltage monitoring down to +0.63V |
| Reset Timeout | 140–280ms (D3 suffix) - ensures sufficient hold time for processor initialization before release |
| Watchdog Timeout | 35s min startup / 1.12s min normal mode - prevents premature timeout during boot while enabling rapid fault response post-initialization |
| Supply Current | 14µA typical at +3.6V - enables long battery life in portable equipment without compromising supervision accuracy |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C - fully specified for industrial and telecom environments with no derating required |
Pinout & Package
The MAX6735KASHD3 is housed in an 8-pin SOT23-8 package (JEDEC MO-178 BA), measuring 3.00mm × 1.75mm × 1.30mm, with gull-wing leads and coplanarity ≤ 0.1mm - optimized for high-density PCB layouts and automated assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RST | Active-low push-pull reset output | Drives µP reset pin directly without external pullup; asserts low on VCC1/VCC2/RSTIN undervoltage or MR activation |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all internal comparators, watchdog logic, and output drivers |
| 3 - VCC2 | Secondary supply input | Powers internal circuitry when VCC2 > VCC1; feeds secondary threshold comparator (1.313V) |
| 4 - MR | Active-low manual reset input | Internal 50kΩ pullup to VCC1; drives RST low when asserted, clearing watchdog timer |
| 5 - WDI | Watchdog input | Edge-sensitive input; rising/falling transitions reset watchdog timer; floating state does not disable function |
| 6 - VCC1 | Primary supply input | Powers device when VCC1 > VCC2; feeds primary threshold comparator (2.925V) |
| 7 - RSTIN | Adjustable reset comparator input | High-impedance (±25nA) node referenced to 626mV; accepts resistive divider for third-rail monitoring |
| 8 - WDO | Active-low push-pull watchdog output | Independent of RST; asserts low on WDI timeout or VCC1/VCC2/RSTIN undervoltage - can be wired to MR for auto-reset |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple-voltage monitoring | Simultaneously supervises VCC1 (+2.925V), VCC2 (+1.313V), and adjustable RSTIN (626mV) - eliminates need for three discrete supervisors |
| Push-pull RST and WDO | Eliminates external pullup resistors and reduces BOM count; supports direct interface to bidirectional µP reset pins via 10kΩ series resistor |
| Dual-mode watchdog | 35s startup delay prevents false timeout during boot; 1.12s normal mode enables fast recovery from software hangs |
| Guaranteed reset validity | Operates and asserts valid RST down to VCC1/VCC2 = +0.8V - ensures reset integrity during brownout conditions |
| Immunity to VCC transients | Rejects falling VCC glitches <10µs at 100mV overdrive - avoids spurious resets in noisy power environments |
Applications
| Telecom Line Card Power Management | Industrial PLC I/O Module |
|---|---|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-power triple-supply monitor with adjustable RSTIN enabling precise battery voltage thresholding via resistor divider. Use Value: RSTIN's 626mV reference allows accurate +2.7V battery EOC detection using only two external resistors - no additional voltage reference needed. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6734KASHD3-T | Same thresholds (2.925V/1.313V), same D3 timeout, but open-drain RST/WDO outputs | Requires external pullup resistors; unsuitable for direct drive of bidirectional µP reset pins without series resistor | Select when board layout already includes pullups or when interfacing with open-collector systems |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single-supply supervisor (3.3V threshold only); no RSTIN input; no manual reset; 200ms timeout | Lacks dual/third-rail monitoring and MR functionality - cannot replace triple-monitoring requirement | Consider only for simplified single-rail designs where cost and footprint are prioritized over feature set |
Compared with MAX6734KASHD3-T, the MAX6735KASHD3 offers push-pull outputs eliminating external components; versus TPS3808G33DBVR, it provides full triple-voltage supervision, manual reset, and adjustable monitoring - making it uniquely suited for complex multirail embedded systems requiring coordinated fault response.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for VCC1 and VCC2 on the MAX6735KASHD3?
The MAX6735KASHD3 has a VCC1 reset threshold of +2.925V (S suffix) and a VCC2 reset threshold of +1.313V (H suffix), both factory-trimmed with ±1.5% tolerance over -40°C to +85°C. These values are confirmed in Maxim's Reset Voltage Threshold Suffix Guide (Table 1) and electrical characteristics tables - the "SH" in the part number directly encodes these two thresholds.
Does the MAX6735KASHD3 support monitoring a third voltage, and how is it configured?
Yes, the MAX6735KASHD3 supports third-voltage monitoring via the RSTIN pin, which features a precise 626mV internal reference. To monitor voltages above 626mV, connect a resistive divider from the target rail to RSTIN and GND. The MAX6735KASHD3 datasheet provides the formula VEXT_TH = 626mV × (R1 + R2)/R2 to calculate resistor values for desired trip points.
What is the watchdog behavior of the MAX6735KASHD3 during power-up and normal operation?
The MAX6735KASHD3 implements a dual-mode watchdog: after any reset event (power-up, brownout, or MR assertion), it enters a 35s minimum startup mode to allow full system initialization; once a valid WDI edge occurs, it switches to 1.12s minimum normal timeout. This ensures robust boot handling while maintaining rapid fault detection - a key differentiator of the MAX6735KASHD3 versus single-mode supervisors.
How does the MAX6735KASHD3 handle undervoltage conditions on VCC1 or VCC2?
The MAX6735KASHD3 guarantees valid reset assertion down to VCC1 or VCC2 = +0.8V, with RST remaining low until both supplies exceed their respective thresholds and the 140–280ms timeout expires. Its internal comparators include 0.5% hysteresis to prevent chatter near threshold, and the device rejects short VCC transients (<10µs at 100mV overdrive), ensuring immunity to power rail noise.
What package type and pin count does the MAX6735KASHD3 use, and are there thermal considerations?
The MAX6735KASHD3 uses an 8-pin SOT23-8 package (JEDEC MO-178 BA) with dimensions 3.00mm × 1.75mm × 1.30mm. Its maximum continuous power dissipation is 714mW at +70°C, derating by 8.9mW/°C above that temperature. The small footprint supports high-density layouts, and its BiCMOS process ensures stable operation across the full -40°C to +85°C range without thermal derating.
