Product details
Overview
The MAX6737XKZWD3 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 2.313V (VCC1) and 1.665V (VCC2). It asserts reset when either supply falls below its threshold, maintains reset for ≥150ms after recovery, and draws only 6µA supply current. It is used in portable multivoltage systems such as GPS equipment and PDAs to ensure reliable power-on initialization and brownout protection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6737XKZWD3 datasheet, MAX6737XKZWD3 pinout, MAX6737XKZWD3 application, or MAX6737XKZWD3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its SC70-5 package, push-pull RESET output, dual fixed thresholds, 150ms timeout, and -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range - all critical for battery-powered embedded designs requiring low quiescent current and precise voltage monitoring.
Technical Context
The MAX6737XKZWD3 implements two independent precision voltage comparators with internal 0.5% hysteresis, each monitoring VCC1 and VCC2 against factory-set thresholds. Its reset logic includes a digital timeout counter that restarts on any threshold violation during the 150ms minimum assertion period.
It features an internal 1.5kΩ pullup on the MR pin and guarantees valid RESET output state while either VCC1 or VCC2 remains above 1.2V. The push-pull RESET output is referenced to VCC1 and drives high to ≥0.8×VCC1 at 800µA source current.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC1 Threshold | 2.313V ±0.092V (factory-trimmed; enables reliable I/O supply monitoring at 2.5V nominal rails) |
| VCC2 Threshold | 1.665V ±0.066V (factory-trimmed; supports core supply monitoring for 1.8V/1.65V processors) |
| Reset Timeout | 150ms min (guarantees µP reset hold time sufficient for full system stabilization) |
| Supply Current | 6µA typical (enables multi-year battery life in always-on portable devices) |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C (qualified for industrial and automotive cabin environments) |
| Package | 5-pin SC70 (1.6mm × 1.6mm footprint; saves PCB area vs. SOT23) |
| RESET Output | Push-pull active-low (eliminates need for external pullup; simplifies interface to µP reset pins) |
Pinout & Package
MAX6737XKZWD3 is housed in a 5-pin SC70-5 package (1.6mm × 1.6mm × 0.9mm), optimized for space-constrained portable applications. Pin 1 is RESET, Pin 2 is GND, Pin 3 is MR, Pin 4 is VCC2, and Pin 5 is VCC1 - matching the standard SC70 pinout for drop-in compatibility across the MAX6736–MAX6745 family.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RESET | Active-low push-pull reset output | Drives µP reset pin directly; no external pullup required; sinks 3.2mA / sources 800µA |
| 2 - GND | Analog/digital ground reference | Single ground connection for all internal comparators and logic; must be low-impedance |
| 3 - MR | Manual reset input (active-low) | Internal 1.5kΩ pullup to VCC1; accepts CMOS levels or pushbutton-to-GND; 1µs minimum pulse width |
| 4 - VCC2 | Secondary supply voltage input | Monitors core supply (e.g., 1.8V/1.65V); threshold = 1.665V; valid down to 0.9V operation |
| 5 - VCC1 | Primary supply voltage input | Monitors I/O supply (e.g., 2.5V/3.3V); threshold = 2.313V; supplies internal circuitry and RESET output |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual fixed-voltage supervision | Simultaneously monitors VCC1 (2.313V) and VCC2 (1.665V) without external resistors or calibration |
| 150ms minimum reset timeout | Ensures µP completes power-up sequence before release; timer restarts on any threshold breach |
| 6µA ultra-low supply current | Extends battery life in coin-cell or Li-ion powered devices; ICC1 + ICC2 ≤10µA at 25°C |
| Push-pull RESET output | Eliminates external pullup resistor; reduces BOM count and layout complexity |
| MR input with internal pullup | Enables momentary switch reset without external components; debounced via internal timing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6736XKZWD3 | Open-drain RESET output; requires external pullup resistor | Suitable where µP reset pin is open-drain compatible or bidirectional | Select when interfacing with legacy µPs requiring wired-OR reset buses |
| TPS3808G15DBVR | Single-supply supervisor (1.5V threshold only); 350ms timeout; 1.6µA current | Lacks dual-monitoring capability; requires separate IC for second rail | Choose only if supervising one supply; not a functional replacement for dual-rail use cases |
Compared with MAX6736XKZWD3, the MAX6737XKZWD3 eliminates external pullup needs via push-pull output, reducing component count. Against TPS3808G15DBVR, it provides true dual-rail supervision in one device - essential for modern multivoltage SoC platforms where coordinated reset timing across I/O and core domains is mandatory.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for VCC1 and VCC2 on the MAX6737XKZWD3?
The MAX6737XKZWD3 has factory-trimmed reset thresholds of 2.313V for VCC1 and 1.665V for VCC2, as indicated by the "ZW" suffix per Table 1 in the datasheet. These values are specified over the full -40°C to +85°C temperature range with ±0.092V and ±0.066V tolerance respectively, enabling precise monitoring of 2.5V I/O and 1.8V core supplies without external calibration.
Does the MAX6737XKZWD3 require an external pullup resistor on the RESET pin?
No, the MAX6737XKZWD3 features a push-pull RESET output, so no external pullup resistor is needed. This differs from open-drain variants like MAX6736XKZWD3. The push-pull driver sources up to 800µA and sinks up to 3.2mA, allowing direct connection to most microprocessor reset inputs without additional components.
What is the minimum pulse width required on the MR pin to trigger reset on the MAX6737XKZWD3?
The MR pin of the MAX6737XKZWD3 requires a minimum low pulse width of 1µs to initiate reset assertion. The internal 1.5kΩ pullup ensures the pin remains high when unconnected, and the MR input is compatible with CMOS logic, open-collector outputs, or momentary switches to ground.
Can the MAX6737XKZWD3 monitor voltages lower than its factory-set thresholds?
No - the MAX6737XKZWD3 is a dual fixed-threshold device with no adjustable input. Unlike MAX6738/MAX6739 variants, it lacks an RSTIN pin and cannot monitor voltages below 1.665V (VCC2) or 2.313V (VCC1). For sub-1V monitoring, consider MAX6742/MAX6745 with PFI input or MAX6738 with RSTIN.
What is the guaranteed operating temperature range for the MAX6737XKZWD3?
The MAX6737XKZWD3 is specified for continuous operation from -40°C to +85°C ambient temperature. This industrial-grade rating is confirmed in the Ordering Information table and Absolute Maximum Ratings section, making it suitable for deployment in automotive cabins, outdoor handhelds, and factory-floor equipment.
