Product details
Overview
MAX6737XKSFD3+ from Maxim Integrated is a dual fixed-voltage microprocessor supervisor IC with push-pull active-low RESET output, manual reset input (MR), and factory-trimmed thresholds of 2.925V (VCC1) and 2.188V (VCC2). It features 150ms minimum reset timeout, 6µA supply current, and operates over –40°C to +85°C in a 5-pin SC70 package. It is used in portable battery-powered systems requiring reliable dual-rail power monitoring and controlled reset assertion.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6737XKSFD3+ datasheet, MAX6737XKSFD3+ pinout, MAX6737XKSFD3+ application, or MAX6737XKSFD3+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its push-pull RESET drive capability, precise dual-threshold supervision without external adjustment, MR-initiated reset timing, low quiescent current for battery longevity, and SC70 footprint compatibility with space-constrained embedded designs.
Technical Context
The MAX6737XKSFD3+ integrates two independent voltage comparators with internal precision references (2.925V and 2.188V) to monitor VCC1 and VCC2 simultaneously. Reset assertion occurs when either supply falls below its threshold, and deassertion requires both supplies to remain above thresholds for ≥150ms - a guaranteed minimum timeout period unaffected by transient dips.
Its push-pull RESET output drives high to VCC1 (not open-drain), eliminating need for external pullup resistors. The MR input includes a 1.5kΩ internal pullup to VCC1 and triggers a dedicated 150ms reset timeout upon valid low pulse (≥1µs), enabling hardware-initiated system resets independent of supply status.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for VCC1 and VCC2 on the MAX6737XKSFD3+?
The MAX6737XKSFD3+ has factory-trimmed reset thresholds of 2.925V for VCC1 and 2.188V for VCC2, as indicated by the "S" and "Y" suffixes in its part number. These values are guaranteed across –40°C to +85°C with ±0.075V tolerance per the datasheet's Table 1, enabling precise dual-rail monitoring without external calibration. The MAX6737XKSFD3+ does not support adjustable thresholds.
Does the MAX6737XKSFD3+ require an external pullup resistor on the RESET pin?
No, the MAX6737XKSFD3+ features a push-pull RESET output that actively drives high to VCC1, eliminating the need for an external pullup resistor. This distinguishes it from open-drain variants like MAX6736XKSFD3+. The push-pull architecture simplifies schematic design, improves rise time, and avoids potential conflicts in bidirectional reset bus configurations.
What is the function of the MR pin on the MAX6737XKSFD3+ and how is it biased?
The MR (Manual Reset) pin on the MAX6737XKSFD3+ is an active-low input that forces RESET low when pulled below 0.3×VCC1 for ≥1µs. It includes a built-in 1.5kΩ pullup resistor to VCC1, allowing direct connection to a momentary switch to ground or CMOS logic. After MR release, RESET remains low for the full 150ms timeout period (D3 option), ensuring deterministic system reset initiation independent of supply status.
Can the MAX6737XKSFD3+ monitor voltages below 0.9V on VCC2?
No - the MAX6737XKSFD3+ is specified to monitor VCC2 from 0.9V to 3.3V only, with its fixed 2.188V threshold optimized for standard core rails (e.g., 2.2V, 2.5V). It does not support sub-0.9V monitoring. For lower-voltage supervision (e.g., 0.8V or 0.6V), consider the MAX6738/MAX6739 series with RSTIN input, which supports down to 0.488V via external divider.
What is the maximum operating voltage for VCC1 and VCC2 on the MAX6737XKSFD3+?
The MAX6737XKSFD3+ supports VCC1 and VCC2 operating voltages from 1.0V to 5.5V (per Absolute Maximum Ratings), with functional operation guaranteed from 1.2V to 5.5V across temperature. Its 2.925V/2.188V thresholds are designed for nominal 3.0V/3.3V and 2.2V rails respectively, but the device remains fully operational even when VCC1 = 5.0V and VCC2 = 1.2V - enabling flexible use in mixed-voltage systems.
