Product details
Overview
The MAX6739XKVD3 from Maxim Integrated is a dual-voltage microprocessor supervisor IC with one factory-trimmed reset threshold (VTH1 = 2.925V) and one adjustable reset input (RSTIN, 488mV reference), push-pull active-low RESET output, manual reset input (MR), and SC70-5 package. It monitors VCC1 (I/O supply) and VCC2 (core supply) in portable systems, asserting reset if either falls below its threshold and maintaining it for ≥150ms after recovery. Designed for battery-powered equipment requiring precise dual-rail supervision.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6739XKVD3 datasheet, MAX6739XKVD3 pinout, MAX6739XKVD3 application, or MAX6739XKVD3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.925V/adjustable dual-threshold architecture, 6µA quiescent current, 150ms reset timeout, push-pull RESET drive capability, and SC70-5 footprint compatibility with space-constrained embedded designs.
Technical Context
The MAX6739XKVD3 implements a dual-supply monitoring architecture with independent comparators for VCC1 (factory-set at 2.925V) and VCC2 (user-adjustable via RSTIN with 488mV internal reference). Its push-pull RESET output eliminates external pull-up requirements and supports direct interface to µP reset pins without contention risk.
It integrates a dedicated MR input with 1.5kΩ internal pull-up to VCC1, 150ms manual reset timeout, and glitch rejection (100ns). The device operates across -40°C to +85°C with supply voltage ranges of 1.0–5.5V (VCC1) and 0.9–3.3V (VCC2), ensuring robustness in multivoltage portable systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC1 Threshold | 2.925V ±2.5% (factory-trimmed; enables reliable I/O rail supervision at 3.0V nominal systems) |
| RSTIN Threshold | 488mV ±1.5% (internal reference; allows monitoring of core supplies down to 0.788V via resistor divider) |
| Reset Timeout | 150ms minimum (D3 suffix; ensures µP reset hold time meets ARM Cortex-M and similar MCU requirements) |
| Supply Current | 6µA typical (ICC1 + ICC2 at VCC1=1.8V/VCC2=1.2V; extends battery life in always-on IoT sensors) |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C (industrial-grade range; supports deployment in automotive infotainment and industrial handhelds) |
| Package | SC70-5 (1.6mm × 1.6mm footprint; enables high-density PCB layouts in wearables and medical patches) |
| RESET Output | Push-pull, active-low (drives high/low directly; eliminates need for external pull-up and simplifies µP interface) |
Pinout & Package
MAX6739XKVD3 uses a 5-pin SC70-5 package with exposed pad (not electrically connected). Pin 1 is RESET (push-pull active-low), Pin 2 is GND, Pin 3 is MR (active-low manual reset), Pin 4 is VCC2 (core supply input), and Pin 5 is VCC1 (I/O supply input).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RESET | Push-pull active-low reset output | Asserts low when VCC1 < 2.925V or RSTIN < 488mV; deasserts only after both recover for ≥150ms; drives µP reset pin directly |
| 2 - GND | Analog/digital ground reference | Common return path for all internal comparators and output stage; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| 3 - MR | Active-low manual reset input | Pull low ≥1µs to force RESET low; internal 1.5kΩ pull-up to VCC1 enables switch-to-ground implementation without external components |
| 4 - VCC2 | Core supply voltage input | Monitors secondary rail (0.9–3.3V); connects to processor core domain; threshold set by external RSTIN divider |
| 5 - VCC1 | I/O supply voltage input | Primary monitored rail (1.0–5.5V); powers internal circuitry and defines RESET high-level voltage (VOH ≈ 0.8×VCC1) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent voltage monitoring | Simultaneous supervision of VCC1 (2.925V fixed) and VCC2 (adjustable via RSTIN) prevents premature reset during asymmetric rail sequencing |
| Push-pull RESET output | Eliminates external pull-up resistor requirement and avoids logic contention with bidirectional µP reset pins |
| Ultra-low 6µA supply current | Enables >10-year battery life in coin-cell-powered devices such as Bluetooth LE sensors and smart tags |
| 150ms reset timeout (D3) | Meets JEDEC JESD76B minimum reset assertion time for 32-bit microcontrollers and SoCs |
| MR input with integrated pull-up | Reduces BOM count by one resistor; supports momentary switch-to-ground for field service or test-mode entry |
Applications
| Portable Medical Sensors | Industrial Handheld Terminals |

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for VCC1 on the MAX6739XKVD3?
The MAX6739XKVD3 has a factory-trimmed VCC1 reset threshold of 2.925V (±2.5%) over the full -40°C to +85°C temperature range. This value is confirmed in Table 1 of the datasheet under suffix "SV", and applies specifically to the MAX6739XKVD3 part number-not other variants in the MAX6736–MAX6745 family.
Does the MAX6739XKVD3 support monitoring a 0.9V core supply?
Yes, the MAX6739XKVD3 supports monitoring a 0.9V core supply using its RSTIN pin with the internal 488mV reference. By configuring an external resistor divider (e.g., R1=1.0MΩ, R2=560kΩ), the effective trip point becomes 0.9V. The device's VCC2 specification (0.9V–3.3V) and RSTIN electrical characteristics (0.468V–0.507V threshold) confirm this capability for the MAX6739XKVD3.
What is the function of the MR pin on the MAX6739XKVD3?
The MR pin on the MAX6739XKVD3 is an active-low manual reset input with an internal 1.5kΩ pull-up to VCC1. Pulling MR low for ≥1µs forces the RESET output low for ≥150ms after MR returns high. This enables hardware-initiated resets via pushbutton switches or test-system control signals-fully supported and characterized for the MAX6739XKVD3 in the Electrical Characteristics table.
Is the RESET output of the MAX6739XKVD3 push-pull or open-drain?
The RESET output of the MAX6739XKVD3 is push-pull active-low, as confirmed in the Selector Guide (page 14) and Pin Description (page 8). Unlike the MAX6738XKVD3 (open-drain), the MAX6739XKVD3 drives both high and low states internally-eliminating the need for an external pull-up resistor and enabling direct connection to most µP reset inputs.
What package type and dimensions does the MAX6739XKVD3 use?
The MAX6739XKVD3 uses a 5-pin SC70-5 package measuring 1.6mm × 1.6mm × 0.95mm (max height), with pin pitch of 0.65mm. This is explicitly stated in the Ordering Information section (page 2) and verified in the Pin Configurations diagram (page 15) for MAX6739. The exposed pad is non-functional and may be left unconnected or grounded for thermal relief.
