Product details
Overview
The MAX6737XKVDD3+ 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 a 150ms minimum reset timeout period, 6µA supply current, and operates over -40°C to +85°C in a 5-pin SC70 package. It is used in portable multivoltage systems to ensure reliable µP reset during power-up, brownout, or manual intervention.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6737XKVDD3+ datasheet, MAX6737XKVDD3+ pinout, MAX6737XKVDD3+ application, or MAX6737XKVDD3+ equivalent, key selection criteria include confirmed dual-supply monitoring capability, push-pull RESET drive strength, MR timing behavior, VTH1/VTH2 tolerance over temperature, and compatibility with battery-powered I/O/core rail sequencing.
Technical Context
The MAX6737XKVDD3+ monitors two independent supply rails-VCC1 (primary, 2.925V threshold) and VCC2 (secondary, 2.188V threshold)-and asserts RESET low if either falls below its threshold. Reset remains asserted for ≥150ms after both supplies recover, with internal timer restart on subsequent undervoltage events.
It includes an internal 1.5kΩ pullup on MR and supports CMOS- or switch-driven manual reset; RESET deasserts only after MR returns high and the 150ms MR timeout elapses. The push-pull RESET output is referenced to VCC1 and sinks up to 3.2mA while maintaining VOL ≤ 0.4V.

Applications
| Portable Multivoltage Systems | Notebook Power Sequencing |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Battery-powered handheld device with separate 2.9V I/O and 2.2V core rails. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-rail supervisor asserting RESET until both rails stabilize post-power-up or during brownout. Use Value: Prevents µP lockup by ensuring core logic initializes only after I/O rail is valid and stable for ≥150ms. | Use Scenario: Notebook motherboard requiring controlled I/O-before-core power-up sequence. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monitors VCC1 (I/O) and VCC2 (core); holds RESET until both meet thresholds and timeout expires. Use Value: Eliminates need for discrete sequencing ICs-reduces cost and board area while guaranteeing safe boot order. |
| POS Terminal Supervision | Industrial Controller Brownout Protection |
Use Scenario: Point-of-sale terminal with 3.3V interface and 1.8V processor core, powered from AC adapter or backup battery. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Detects undervoltage on either rail and forces clean µP reset via push-pull RESET. Use Value: Push-pull drive ensures robust reset signal integrity across noisy industrial environments without pullup vulnerability. | Use Scenario: Programmable logic controller exposed to fluctuating 24V DC input with local 2.9V/2.2V regulation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides deterministic reset response to input transients or regulator dropout. Use Value: 6µA supply current and -40°C to +85°C rating enable deployment in unheated enclosures with long maintenance cycles. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-supply supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6736XKVDD3+ | Open-drain RESET output; requires external pullup resistor | Suitable where µP reset pin is bidirectional or open-drain compatible | Select when system already uses pullup or shares RESET bus with other open-drain devices |
| TPS3808G15DBVR | Single-supply supervisor (1.5V threshold); no VCC2 monitor; 360ms timeout | Lacks dual-rail capability; requires additional IC for second rail monitoring | Choose only if supervising one rail or adding discrete comparator for second rail |
Compared with MAX6736XKVDD3+, the MAX6737XKVDD3+ eliminates external pullup needs and simplifies layout, while TPS3808G15DBVR cannot replace dual-monitoring functionality without redesign-making MAX6737XKVDD3+ optimal for space-constrained dual-rail systems requiring guaranteed reset timing and ultra-low power.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for VCC1 and VCC2 on the MAX6737XKVDD3+?
The MAX6737XKVDD3+ has factory-trimmed reset thresholds of 2.925V for VCC1 and 2.188V for VCC2, with ±2.5% tolerance over the full -40°C to +85°C temperature range. These values are defined by the "KV" suffix per Table 1 in the datasheet and do not require external resistor networks.
Does the MAX6737XKVDD3+ require an external pullup resistor on the RESET pin?
No-the MAX6737XKVDD3+ features a push-pull RESET output, so no external pullup resistor is needed. This differs from open-drain variants like MAX6736XKVDD3+. The push-pull stage actively drives high (VOH ≥ 0.8×VCC1) and low (VOL ≤ 0.4V at 3.2mA sink), enabling direct connection to most µP reset inputs.
What is the function of the MR pin on the MAX6737XKVDD3+ and how is it biased?
The MR pin on the MAX6737XKVDD3+ 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 MR returns high. This allows direct connection to a momentary switch without external components.
Can the MAX6737XKVDD3+ monitor a 1.2V core supply?
No-the MAX6737XKVDD3+ is configured with fixed thresholds of 2.925V (VCC1) and 2.188V (VCC2), neither of which supports 1.2V monitoring. For sub-2V rails, consider MAX6738/MAX6739 with RSTIN or MAX6742/MAX6745 with PFI, which accept adjustable thresholds down to 0.488V via external dividers.
What is the supply current consumption of the MAX6737XKVDD3+ at 25°C and full temperature range?
The MAX6737XKVDD3+ draws 6µA typical supply current at +25°C, with ICC1 and ICC2 combining to ≤10µA across -40°C to +85°C. This ultra-low quiescent current is specified under no-load conditions with both VCC1 and VCC2 above their thresholds and RESET deasserted.
