Product details
Overview
The MAX6736XKWGD3+ from Maxim Integrated is a dual-voltage microprocessor supervisor IC with two factory-trimmed reset thresholds (VTH1 = 2.925V, VTH2 = 0.788V), open-drain active-low RESET output, manual reset input (MR), and 150ms minimum reset timeout period. It monitors primary I/O supply (VCC1) and secondary core supply (VCC2) in portable and multivoltage systems, ensuring reliable µP reset assertion during undervoltage faults.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6736XKWGD3+ datasheet, MAX6736XKWGD3+ pinout, MAX6736XKWGD3+ application, or MAX6736XKWGD3+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its SC70-5 package, 6µA quiescent current, -40°C to +85°C operation, dual fixed-threshold supervision, and compatibility with battery-powered controllers requiring low-power, space-constrained voltage monitoring.
Technical Context
The MAX6736XKWGD3+ implements independent comparators for VCC1 and VCC2, each referenced to precision internal bandgap-derived thresholds. Reset assertion occurs when either supply falls below its respective threshold, and reset remains asserted for ≥150ms after both supplies recover - with timer restart on subsequent dips.
Its open-drain RESET output requires an external pullup; MR input features a 1.5kΩ internal pullup to VCC1 and supports pushbutton-initiated reset with 150ms timeout. The device operates with VCC1 from 1.0V to 5.5V and VCC2 from 0.752V to 0.824V (typical threshold range), maintaining valid reset state while either supply exceeds 1.2V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC1 Threshold (VTH1) | 2.925V ±0.075V (factory-trimmed; enables reliable I/O supply monitoring at 3.0V nominal rails) |
| VCC2 Threshold (VTH2) | 0.788V ±0.036V (factory-trimmed; supports core supply supervision down to 0.8V logic domains) |
| Reset Timeout Period | 150ms min (ensures µP completes power-up initialization before release) |
| Supply Current (ICC1) | 5–10µA (enables multi-year battery life in portable equipment) |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +85°C (qualified for industrial and extended-temperature embedded applications) |
| Package | 5-pin SC70 (1.6mm × 1.6mm footprint; suitable for high-density PCB layouts) |
| RESET Output Type | Open-drain active-low (allows wired-OR configuration and level-shifting with external pullup) |
Pinout & Package
MAX6736XKWGD3+ is housed in a 5-pin SC70-5 package (1.6mm × 1.6mm × 0.9mm height), optimized for space-constrained portable designs. Pinout is validated per Maxim's official pin configuration diagram for MAX6736 variants.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET | Open-drain active-low reset output; asserts when VCC1 < 2.925V or VCC2 < 0.788V; requires external pullup resistor |
| 2 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference; must be connected to system ground plane for stable threshold accuracy |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input; internally pulled up to VCC1 (1.5kΩ); initiates 150ms reset pulse on logic-low assertion |
| 4 | VCC2 | Secondary supply input (core voltage); monitored against 0.788V threshold; valid down to 0.752V |
| 5 | VCC1 | Primary supply input (I/O voltage); monitored against 2.925V threshold; supports 1.0V–5.5V operating range |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual fixed-voltage supervision | Simultaneously monitors 2.925V (VCC1) and 0.788V (VCC2) without external components - eliminates discrete resistor-divider networks |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6737XKWGD3+ | Push-pull RESET output (vs. open-drain); same thresholds, timeout, and pinout | Eliminates need for external pullup; incompatible with wired-OR reset buses or level-shifted µP interfaces | Select MAX6737XKWGD3+ only when driving a single µP with CMOS-compatible reset input and no shared reset line. |
| TPS3808G15DBVR | Single-supply supervisor (1.5V threshold only); 350ms timeout; SOT23-6 package; 2.5µA ICC | Cannot monitor dual rails simultaneously; requires additional supervisor or discrete circuitry for VCC2 monitoring | Choose TPS3808G15DBVR only for single-rail systems where lowest possible ICC (2.5µA) outweighs dual-monitoring capability. |
Compared with MAX6737XKWGD3+, the MAX6736XKWGD3+ offers open-drain flexibility for multi-device reset buses but requires an external pullup; versus TPS3808G15DBVR, it delivers true dual-rail supervision in half the footprint despite higher ICC, making it optimal for compact multivoltage designs.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for VCC1 and VCC2 on the MAX6736XKWGD3+?
The MAX6736XKWGD3+ has factory-trimmed reset thresholds of 2.925V (±0.075V) for VCC1 and 0.788V (±0.036V) for VCC2, as defined by the "W" and "D" suffixes in its part number per Maxim's Table 1. These values are guaranteed over the full -40°C to +85°C temperature range and do not require external calibration. The MAX6736XKWGD3+ uses these precise thresholds to supervise 3.0V I/O and 0.8V core rails without resistor dividers.
Does the MAX6736XKWGD3+ support manual reset, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the MAX6736XKWGD3+ includes a dedicated active-low manual reset (MR) input on Pin 3, featuring an internal 1.5kΩ pullup resistor to VCC1. Driving MR low for ≥1µs forces RESET low for 150ms (minimum), enabling pushbutton-initiated reset without external components. This function is fully integrated in the MAX6736XKWGD3+ and operates independently of supply voltage levels, supporting field service and test-mode resets.
What is the reset timeout period of the MAX6736XKWGD3+, and is it adjustable?
The MAX6736XKWGD3+ has a fixed 150ms minimum reset timeout period (D3 suffix), verified across -40°C to +85°C. This value is factory-programmed and non-adjustable - it ensures sufficient time for µP power stabilization before reset release. The timeout begins only after both VCC1 and VCC2 exceed their thresholds and is restarted if either supply dips again. No external capacitor or resistor modifies this timing in the MAX6736XKWGD3+.
Can the MAX6736XKWGD3+ monitor voltages below 0.788V, such as a 0.5V core supply?
No - the MAX6736XKWGD3+ is configured exclusively for dual fixed thresholds (2.925V and 0.788V) and does not support adjustable monitoring. To supervise voltages below 0.788V (e.g., 0.5V), a different variant like MAX6738XKWD3+ (with RSTIN input) or MAX6742XKWGD3+ (with PFI input) is required. The MAX6736XKWGD3+ lacks RSTIN/PFI pins and cannot be externally configured for sub-0.788V detection.
What package type and dimensions does the MAX6736XKWGD3+ use?
The MAX6736XKWGD3+ uses a 5-pin SC70-5 package measuring 1.6mm × 1.6mm × 0.9mm (height), with standard lead-free +T suffix indicating RoHS-compliant termination. Its small outline and thermal characteristics support reflow soldering in high-density layouts. This package is identical across the MAX6736–MAX6745 family and is validated for automated assembly in volume production of the MAX6736XKWGD3+.
