Product details
Overview
The MAX6740XKRVD3 from Maxim Integrated is a triple-voltage microprocessor supervisor IC with two factory-trimmed reset thresholds (VTH1 = 3.075V, VTH2 = 2.313V) and one adjustable RSTIN input (488mV threshold), open-drain RESET output, manual reset detect function, and 150ms minimum reset timeout period. It monitors primary I/O supply (VCC1), secondary core supply (VCC2), and an external voltage via RSTIN in portable, multivoltage embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6740XKRVD3 datasheet, MAX6740XKRVD3 pinout, MAX6740XKRVD3 application, or MAX6740XKRVD3 equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, SC70-5 package layout, real-world use cases in battery-powered equipment and power-sequenced controllers, and validated alternative parts for dual/triple-supply monitoring designs.
Technical Context
The MAX6740XKRVD3 implements independent comparators for VCC1, VCC2, and RSTIN, each referenced to precision internal voltage references (488mV for RSTIN, factory-set for VCC1/VCC2). Reset assertion occurs when any monitored voltage falls below its threshold, and the internal timer enforces a guaranteed 150ms minimum deassertion delay after all supplies recover.
It features an open-drain RESET output with internal 50kΩ pullup to VCC1 enabling manual reset detection via pushbutton, no external MR pin required. The device operates across -40°C to +85°C with 6µA total supply current and supports transient-immune monitoring of supplies from 0.5V to 5.0V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC1 Threshold | 3.075V ±2.5% - factory-trimmed for reliable I/O supply (e.g., 3.3V rail) monitoring |
| VCC2 Threshold | 2.313V ±2.5% - factory-trimmed for core supply (e.g., 2.5V/2.3V rail) supervision |
| RSTIN Threshold | 0.488V ±1.6% - precise internal reference enabling external voltage monitoring down to 0.5V |
| Reset Timeout | 150ms min - ensures µP reset pulse meets minimum assertion time for stable boot |
| Supply Current | 6µA max - enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered devices |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and extended-temperature embedded applications |
| Package | 5-pin SC70 - 2.0mm × 2.1mm footprint saves PCB area in space-constrained designs |
Pinout & Package
Package: 5-pin SC70 (2.0mm × 2.1mm, 0.65mm pitch), surface-mount, lead-free compatible.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET | Open-drain active-low reset output with internal 50kΩ pullup to VCC1; asserts low on any supply fault or manual button press |
| 2 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference for all comparators and internal circuitry |
| 3 | VCC2 | Input for secondary voltage monitor (core supply); threshold = 2.313V |
| 4 | RSTIN | Adjustable reset input; triggers RESET when voltage drops below 0.488V reference |
| 5 | VCC1 | Primary supply input (I/O rail); threshold = 3.075V; powers internal circuitry and RESET pullup |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple-supply monitoring | Simultaneous supervision of VCC1 (3.075V), VCC2 (2.313V), and external voltage via RSTIN (0.488V ref) |
| Manual reset detect | Integrated pushbutton interface: RESET output pulled low by external GND switch, debounced internally for 37.5ms |
| Low-power operation | 6µA total supply current enables use in always-on, battery-backed systems without significant drain |
| Transient immunity | Immune to sub-100µs supply glitches at typical overdrive levels-reduces false resets in noisy environments |
| SC70 space efficiency | 2.0mm × 2.1mm footprint reduces board area by >50% vs. SOT23-6 alternatives while maintaining full triple-monitor functionality |
Applications
| Portable Power Management | Multi-Rail Microcontroller Systems |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Supervising 3.3V I/O, 2.3V core, and 1.2V auxiliary rails in handheld GPS units powered by single-cell Li-ion. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Triple-threshold supervisor asserting RESET within 35µs of any rail drop, holding for ≥150ms to ensure clean µP reboot. Use Value: Eliminates need for three discrete supervisors or larger SOT23 solutions-reduces BOM count and PCB area by 66%. | Use Scenario: Enabling safe power-up sequencing in ARM-based industrial controllers with separate 3.3V I/O and 1.2V core supplies. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monitoring both rails independently; RESET remains asserted until both exceed thresholds for full 150ms timeout. Use Value: Prevents latch-up or undefined state during asymmetric power ramp-up-ensures deterministic boot behavior. |
| Battery Backup Monitoring | Low-Voltage Sensor Node Supervision |
Use Scenario: Detecting brownout on backup coin-cell supply (1.8V) in smart meter RTC circuits before main power fails. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Using RSTIN input with resistor divider to monitor 1.8V rail against 0.488V reference; asserts RESET within 35µs. Use Value: Enables early warning shutdown and data save-extends functional uptime by capturing state before voltage collapse. | Use Scenario: Supervising 0.9V FPGA core, 1.8V I/O, and 3.0V sensor bias rail in wireless IoT node with ultra-low quiescent current budget. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Triple monitoring with 6µA total ICC; RSTIN configured for 0.9V rail via divider; VCC1/VCC2 set to 3.075V/2.313V. Use Value: Meets <10µA system sleep budget while guaranteeing reset integrity-no trade-off between power and reliability. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar triple-supply supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6743XKTWD3 | Push-pull RESET output; same VTH1=3.075V, VTH2=2.313V, RSTIN=0.488V; no internal RESET pullup | Requires external pullup for bidirectional µP reset I/O; lacks manual reset detect function on RESET pin | Select when push-pull drive strength is needed and manual reset is handled separately |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Dual-supply only (VDD1/VDD2); fixed 3.3V/1.8V thresholds; no RSTIN input; 200ms timeout; 2.5µA ICC | Cannot monitor third voltage; thresholds not user-selectable; smaller package (SOT23-6) but missing RSTIN flexibility | Select for cost-sensitive dual-rail apps where adjustable third input is unnecessary |
Compared with MAX6743XKTWD3 and TPS3808G33DBVR, the MAX6740XKRVD3 uniquely combines triple monitoring, adjustable RSTIN, and integrated manual reset detect in SC70-enabling compact, feature-complete supervision without external components or layout changes.

FAQ
What is the exact reset timeout period for MAX6740XKRVD3?
The MAX6740XKRVD3 has a guaranteed minimum reset timeout period of 150ms, with typical and maximum values of 225ms and 300ms respectively, measured after all monitored supplies rise above their thresholds. This timing is factory-trimmed and temperature-compensated across -40°C to +85°C.
Does MAX6740XKRVD3 require an external pullup resistor on the RESET pin?
No-MAX6740XKRVD3 includes an internal 50kΩ pullup resistor to VCC1 on the open-drain RESET output, enabling direct connection to momentary pushbuttons for manual reset detection without external components.
What are the factory-trimmed voltage thresholds for MAX6740XKRVD3?
The MAX6740XKRVD3 has factory-trimmed VCC1 threshold of 3.075V and VCC2 threshold of 2.313V, both with ±2.5% tolerance over temperature. Its RSTIN input uses a precise 0.488V internal reference for external voltage monitoring.
Can MAX6740XKRVD3 monitor a negative supply voltage?
Yes-by connecting a resistor-divider network to the PFI pin (not used on MAX6740XKRVD3) per Figure 4B in the datasheet. However, MAX6740XKRVD3 does not include PFI/PFO; for negative supply monitoring, MAX6742/MAX6745 variants are recommended instead.
