Product details
Overview
The MAX6736XKSFD3+T from Maxim Integrated is a dual fixed-voltage microprocessor supervisor IC in SC70-5 package, monitoring VCC1 (2.925V threshold) and VCC2 (2.188V threshold) with open-drain active-low RESET output, 150ms minimum reset timeout, and manual reset input (MR). It asserts reset if either supply falls below its factory-trimmed threshold and maintains reset for the full timeout after recovery. Designed for portable battery-powered systems requiring precise dual-rail power monitoring and low quiescent current.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6736XKSFD3+T datasheet, MAX6736XKSFD3+T pinout, MAX6736XKSFD3+T application, or MAX6736XKSFD3+T equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, exact pin functions, confirmed reset timing behavior, factory-trimmed voltage thresholds, and validated alternative parts for dual-supply supervisory use cases in multivoltage embedded systems.
Technical Context
The MAX6736XKSFD3+T implements two independent precision voltage comparators with factory-trimmed thresholds (VTH1 = 2.925V, VTH2 = 2.188V), each referenced to an internal bandgap and featuring 0.5% hysteresis. Its reset logic combines ORed comparator outputs with a monostable timeout circuit triggered on any threshold violation.
It uses an open-drain RESET output requiring external pullup, includes an MR input with 1.5kΩ internal pullup to VCC1 and 150ms manual reset timeout, and operates across VCC1/VCC2 supply ranges of 1.0–5.5V and 0.9–3.3V respectively, with guaranteed valid reset assertion down to VCC1 ≥ 1.2V.
Key Specifications

Applications
| Portable Medical Sensors | Notebook Power Management |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Continuous glucose monitor powered by coin-cell battery with separate 3.0V I/O and 2.2V MCU core rails. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-rail supervisor asserting RESET during battery sag to prevent corrupted sensor data writes. Use Value: 6µA quiescent current extends battery life beyond 3 years; factory-trimmed thresholds eliminate calibration drift over shelf life. | Use Scenario: Dual-voltage CPU platform requiring controlled sequencing of 3.3V I/O and 2.2V core supplies during boot. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monitors both rails independently and holds RESET until both stabilize above thresholds for ≥150ms. Use Value: Prevents CPU lockup due to out-of-spec core voltage during power-up transients. |
| Industrial PLC I/O Modules | POS Terminal Power Supervision |
Use Scenario: DIN-rail mounted controller with 24V-to-3.3V/2.2V DC-DC conversion and ESD-prone field wiring. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Detects undervoltage on both regulated rails caused by load surges or input ripple. Use Value: 0.5% hysteresis prevents chatter during marginal supply conditions; SC70 package withstands vibration. | Use Scenario: Retail point-of-sale terminal using Li-ion backup with 3.3V display interface and 2.2V secure element. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Ensures secure element resets cleanly during battery switchover to avoid cryptographic key corruption. Use Value: MR input allows service-mode forced reset without power cycle; 150ms timeout guarantees secure boot integrity. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-supply supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6737XKSFD3+T | Push-pull RESET output instead of open-drain; same thresholds, timing, and pinout | Eliminates need for external pullup resistor; incompatible with wired-OR reset buses | Select when driving single-load µP directly and board layout prohibits external pullup |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single-supply supervisor (3.3V only); 200ms timeout; 1.6µA IQ; SOT-23-5 package | Monitors only one rail; lacks VCC2 input and MR input; no dual-threshold capability | Select only for single-rail systems where cost and ultra-low IQ outweigh dual-monitoring requirement |
Compared with MAX6736XKSFD3+T, MAX6737XKSFD3+T offers push-pull drive for simpler interfacing but sacrifices bus-sharing capability, while TPS3808G33DBVR reduces supply current by 73% but abandons dual-rail supervision entirely-making it unsuitable for systems requiring coordinated I/O/core voltage validation.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for VCC1 and VCC2 on the MAX6736XKSFD3+T?
The MAX6736XKSFD3+T has factory-trimmed reset thresholds of 2.925V for VCC1 and 2.188V for VCC2, specified over the full -40°C to +85°C operating range with ±2.5% tolerance. These values are encoded in the "S" and "Y" suffixes per Maxim's Table 1 and are confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics section of the official datasheet.
Does the MAX6736XKSFD3+T require an external pullup resistor on the RESET pin?
Yes, the MAX6736XKSFD3+T features an open-drain RESET output and requires an external pullup resistor to VCC1 or another compatible voltage rail. The datasheet specifies typical pullup values between 10kΩ and 100kΩ depending on rise-time and bus loading requirements; absence of this resistor will prevent proper high-level assertion of RESET.
What is the function of the MR pin on the MAX6736XKSFD3+T and how is it biased?
The MR pin on the MAX6736XKSFD3+T is an active-low manual reset input with an internal 1.5kΩ pullup resistor to VCC1. When pulled to GND for ≥1µs, it forces RESET low and maintains it for 150ms after release. Leaving MR unconnected defaults it to high via the internal pullup, enabling automatic reset-only operation.
Can the MAX6736XKSFD3+T monitor voltages below 1.0V on VCC2?
No-the MAX6736XKSFD3+T monitors VCC2 within a factory-set range of 0.9V to 3.3V, and its specific VCC2 threshold is fixed at 2.188V. To monitor sub-1.0V rails, a different variant such as MAX6738/MAX6739 with RSTIN input (threshold = 0.488V) would be required; the MAX6736XKSFD3+T does not support adjustable or sub-vertex thresholds on VCC2.
What is the maximum operating voltage for VCC1 and VCC2 inputs on the MAX6736XKSFD3+T?
The MAX6736XKSFD3+T supports VCC1 input voltages from 1.0V to 5.5V (0°C to +85°C) and VCC2 from 0.9V to 3.3V. Absolute maximum ratings allow VCC1/VCC2 up to +6V transiently, but sustained operation above 5.5V on VCC1 or 3.3V on VCC2 violates specifications and may damage the device.
