Product details
Overview
The MAX6737XKSHD3+ from Maxim Integrated is a dual fixed-voltage microprocessor supervisor IC with push-pull active-low reset output, manual reset input, and factory-trimmed thresholds of 2.925V (VCC1) and 2.188V (VCC2), operating over -40°C to +85°C in a 5-pin SC70 package. It asserts reset when either supply falls below its threshold, maintains reset for ≥150ms after recovery, and draws only 6µA typical supply current-ideal for battery-powered portable equipment requiring reliable power monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6737XKSHD3+ datasheet, MAX6737XKSHD3+ pinout, MAX6737XKSHD3+ application, or MAX6737XKSHD3+ equivalent, key selection criteria include confirmed dual-supply monitoring capability, push-pull RESET output compatibility with bidirectional µP reset pins, precise factory-set VTH1/VTH2 thresholds, 150ms minimum timeout, and SC70-5 footprint suitability for space-constrained multivoltage systems.
Technical Context
The MAX6737XKSHD3+ implements independent voltage comparators for VCC1 and VCC2, each referenced to a precision internal bandgap, with hysteresis of 0.5% to reject noise-induced false resets. Its push-pull RESET output is driven directly from VCC1 and requires no external pullup, simplifying interface with microprocessors lacking dedicated reset drivers.
Reset assertion is triggered by any monitored supply falling below its threshold or by pulling MR low for ≥1µs; reset remains asserted for ≥150ms after all supplies exceed thresholds or after MR release. The internal 1.5kΩ MR pullup enables direct connection to momentary switches without external components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC1 Threshold | 2.925V ±1.5% (factory-trimmed; ensures reliable I/O supply monitoring at nominal 3.0V or 3.3V rails) |
| VCC2 Threshold | 2.188V ±1.5% (factory-trimmed; matches common core supply voltages such as 2.2V or 2.5V) |
| Reset Timeout | 150ms min (guaranteed minimum hold time prevents premature µP release during supply ramp-up) |
| Supply Current | 6µA typical (enables multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries in portable devices) |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C (supports industrial and automotive-adjacent embedded applications) |
| Package | 5-pin SC70 (1.6mm × 1.6mm footprint; enables high-density PCB layouts) |
| Reset Output | Push-pull active-low (eliminates need for external pullup resistor; compatible with CMOS/TTL inputs) |
Pinout & Package
Package: 5-pin SC70 (1.6mm × 1.6mm, 0.5mm pitch, thin profile).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RESET | Active-low push-pull reset output | Drives low to reset µP; actively pulled high to VCC1 when deasserted-no external pullup required |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all internal comparators and output driver; must be low-impedance |
| 3 - MR | Manual reset input (active low) | Pull low ≥1µs to force reset; internal 1.5kΩ pullup to VCC1 allows direct switch-to-ground connection |
| 4 - VCC2 | Secondary supply monitor input | Monitors core voltage (e.g., 2.2V); comparator triggers reset if VCC2 < 2.188V |
| 5 - VCC1 | Primary supply monitor input | Monitors I/O voltage (e.g., 3.0V); powers internal circuitry and defines RESET high-level voltage |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual fixed-threshold supervision | Simultaneously monitors two independent supplies (VCC1 = 2.925V, VCC2 = 2.188V) with no external resistors needed |
| Push-pull RESET output | Eliminates external pullup component and associated board area; reduces BOM count and layout complexity |
| 150ms minimum reset timeout | Ensures µP completes full initialization before release-even during slow-ramping or noisy power supplies |
| 6µA ultra-low quiescent current | Extends battery life in always-on portable devices (e.g., >10 years on CR2032 at 10µA system sleep current) |
| SC70-5 compact package | Reduces footprint by >60% vs. SOT23-5; supports miniaturized designs in wearables and handheld instruments |
Applications
| Portable Power Management | Multivoltage Processor Supervision |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Monitoring both I/O (3.0V) and core (2.2V) rails in a handheld GPS unit powered by a single Li-ion cell with DC/DC converters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-supply supervisor asserting synchronized reset if either rail drops during brownout or battery sag. Use Value: Prevents processor lockup or data corruption by guaranteeing both supplies stabilize before µP execution begins. | Use Scenario: Ensuring correct power-up sequence in an FPGA-based controller where I/O banks must be powered before core logic. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Independent voltage monitoring with precise 2.925V/2.188V thresholds and 150ms timeout enforces timing margin between rail stabilization and reset release. Use Value: Eliminates need for discrete RC timers or additional sequencing ICs-reducing cost and failure points. |
| POS Terminal Reliability | Industrial Sensor Node |
Use Scenario: Supervising dual-rail power in a point-of-sale terminal with 5V USB input and internal 3.3V/1.8V regulators. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Push-pull RESET output interfaces directly with ARM Cortex-M µP's bidirectional reset pin via 4.7kΩ series resistor per datasheet Figure 5. Use Value: Avoids logic contention while maintaining robust reset assertion-critical for transaction integrity during power interruption. | Use Scenario: Long-life remote sensor node using coin-cell battery and ultra-low-power MCU with separate analog and digital supplies. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: 6µA supply current and factory-trimmed thresholds minimize self-loading and eliminate calibration overhead. Use Value: Enables >5-year field deployment without maintenance-verified by typical ICC1/ICC2 curves across temperature. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-supply supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6736XKSHD3+ | Open-drain RESET output; requires external pullup resistor; identical VTH1/VTH2 thresholds and timeout | Suitable where system already provides pullup or where wired-OR reset bus is needed | Select when open-drain flexibility or bus-sharing is required; not drop-in due to output drive architecture |
| TPS3808G15DBVR | Single-supply supervisor (1.5V threshold only); 350ms timeout; SOT-23-6 package; 1.6µA IQ | Cannot monitor dual rails simultaneously; requires two devices for equivalent function | Choose only for single-rail applications or when lowest possible quiescent current is paramount |
Compared with MAX6736XKSHD3+, the MAX6737XKSHD3+ offers push-pull drive eliminating external components, while TPS3808G15DBVR lacks dual-monitoring capability entirely-making MAX6737XKSHD3+ the only single-device solution matching both functional and footprint requirements.

FAQ
What are the exact factory-trimmed reset thresholds for MAX6737XKSHD3+?
The MAX6737XKSHD3+ has factory-trimmed reset thresholds of 2.925V for VCC1 and 2.188V for VCC2, as defined by the "SH" suffix per Table 1 in the datasheet. These values are guaranteed over -40°C to +85°C with ±1.5% tolerance and include 0.5% hysteresis to prevent chatter during threshold crossing.
Does MAX6737XKSHD3+ require an external pullup resistor on the RESET pin?
No, MAX6737XKSHD3+ does not require an external pullup resistor because it features a push-pull RESET output. The output actively drives high to VCC1 when deasserted, eliminating the need for external components and simplifying interface with microprocessors that have bidirectional reset pins.
What is the minimum pulse width required on the MR pin to trigger reset in MAX6737XKSHD3+?
The MR pin of MAX6737XKSHD3+ requires a minimum low pulse width of 1µs to reliably assert reset. This short requirement enables use with mechanical pushbuttons or fast digital logic, and the internal 100ns glitch rejection filter prevents spurious triggering from noise.
Can MAX6737XKSHD3+ monitor a 1.8V core supply?
Yes, MAX6737XKSHD3+ can monitor a 1.8V core supply via the VCC2 pin, as its 2.188V threshold is within the valid operating range for VCC2 (0.9V to 3.3V). However, for tighter margin, consider MAX6737XKSD3+ (VTH2 = 1.710V) or MAX6737XKRD3+ (VTH2 = 1.388V), both in the same family.
Is MAX6737XKSHD3+ compatible with lead-free PCB assembly processes?
Yes, MAX6737XKSHD3+ is offered in lead-free packaging. The "+" suffix in the part number explicitly denotes RoHS-compliant, lead-free termination, qualified for standard reflow profiles including JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1.
