Product details
Overview
MAX6740XKVHD7-T from Maxim Integrated is a triple-voltage microprocessor supervisor IC with two factory-trimmed reset thresholds (VTH1 = 2.925V, VTH2 = 1.575V) and one adjustable RSTIN input (488mV threshold), 1200ms minimum reset timeout, open-drain RESET output, manual reset detect function, and SC70-5 package. It monitors I/O and core supplies in portable multivoltage systems to ensure reliable µP boot and brownout protection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6740XKVHD7-T datasheet, MAX6740XKVHD7-T pinout, MAX6740XKVHD7-T application, or MAX6740XKVHD7-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its triple-supply monitoring capability, 6µA supply current, 1200ms reset timeout, RSTIN-adjustable threshold down to 0.488V, and integrated manual reset detect with internal 50kΩ pullup - all in a space-saving 5-pin SC70 package.
Technical Context
The MAX6740XKVHD7-T implements a triple-supply supervisory architecture with independent comparators for VCC1 (2.925V), VCC2 (1.575V), and RSTIN (0.488V reference), each feeding into a shared reset timer. Its open-drain RESET output includes an internal 50kΩ pullup to VCC1, enabling direct pushbutton interfacing without external components.
Reset assertion occurs when any monitored voltage falls below its threshold; the 1200ms timeout begins only after all voltages exceed their thresholds. The device operates across -40°C to +85°C and draws just 6µA total supply current (ICC1 + ICC2), making it suitable for battery-powered applications requiring long standby life.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC1 Threshold | 2.925V ±2.5% over temperature - sets primary I/O supply reset point for 3.0V/3.3V rail monitoring |
| VCC2 Threshold | 1.575V ±2.5% over temperature - targets core supply monitoring for 1.6V/1.8V processors |
| RSTIN Threshold | 0.488V typical - enables precise external voltage monitoring via resistor divider (e.g., 12V, 5V, or negative rails) |
| Reset Timeout | 1200ms minimum - ensures µP completes full initialization before release, avoiding premature execution |
| Supply Current | 6µA total at +25°C - extends battery life in portable equipment; ICC1 = 5µA, ICC2 = 1µA at nominal conditions |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C - supports industrial and automotive-adjacent embedded environments |
| Package | 5-pin SC70 (2.0mm × 1.25mm × 0.9mm) - ultra-compact footprint for space-constrained PCBs |
Pinout & Package
Package: 5-pin SC70-5, surface-mount, moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL1), lead-free compatible (RoHS compliant).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RESET | Open-drain active-low reset output | Asserts low on any threshold violation; internal 50kΩ pullup to VCC1 enables direct pushbutton reset without external resistor |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Common return for all analog comparators and digital logic; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling |
| 3 - VCC2 | Secondary supply input | Monitors core voltage (1.575V threshold); valid operation requires VCC2 ≥ 1.0V per datasheet |
| 4 - RSTIN | Adjustable reset input | Accepts external voltage divider; asserts reset when input < 0.488V; leakage < ±10nA enables high-R dividers for low power |
| 5 - VCC1 | Primary supply input | Monitors I/O voltage (2.925V threshold); powers internal circuitry and provides reference for RESET pullup and MR logic |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple-supply monitoring | Simultaneously supervises VCC1 (2.925V), VCC2 (1.575V), and RSTIN (0.488V) - eliminates need for three discrete supervisors in multirail systems |
| Manual reset detect | Integrated 50kΩ internal pullup on RESET pin allows direct pushbutton-to-GND connection; no external components required for field reset |
| Low quiescent current | 6µA total supply current - reduces battery drain in always-on portable devices such as GPS trackers and handheld medical instruments |
| Adjustable RSTIN input | 0.488V internal reference supports monitoring of any voltage (≥0.5V) using two external resistors - enables custom thresholds for DC-DC converters or battery fuel gauging |
| 1200ms reset timeout | Guaranteed minimum delay ensures µP firmware completes memory initialization and peripheral configuration before release |
Applications
| Portable Power Management | Multivoltage Processor Systems |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Battery-powered handheld scanner with 3.3V I/O, 1.6V ARM core, and 12V motor driver rail.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar triple-supply supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6743XKVHD7-T | Push-pull RESET output (no internal pullup); identical thresholds, timeout, and pinout | Requires external pullup for bidirectional µP reset I/O; unsuitable for direct pushbutton use | Select when system needs active-high drive strength or µP reset pin cannot tolerate open-drain leakage |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Dual-supply only (3.3V/1.8V fixed), no RSTIN input; 200ms timeout; SOT-23-6 package | Lacks third adjustable monitor channel; shorter timeout limits compatibility with slow-start µPs | Choose only if design uses exactly two rails and requires TI's qualification pedigree for automotive-qualified designs |
Compared with MAX6740XKVHD7-T, MAX6743XKVHD7-T offers stronger RESET drive but loses manual reset convenience, while TPS3808G33DBVR reduces monitoring flexibility and timing margin - making MAX6740XKVHD7-T optimal for compact, field-serviceable triple-rail systems demanding ultra-low power and configurability.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for VCC1 on the MAX6740XKVHD7-T?
The MAX6740XKVHD7-T has a factory-trimmed VCC1 reset threshold of 2.925V, with ±2.5% tolerance over the full -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range. This value is confirmed by the "SV" suffix in the part number and Table 1 of the datasheet, and applies specifically to the MAX6740 variant with D7 (1200ms) timeout.
Does the MAX6740XKVHD7-T support manual reset functionality, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the MAX6740XKVHD7-T supports manual reset via its open-drain RESET pin, which includes an internal 50kΩ pullup resistor to VCC1. When a pushbutton connects RESET to GND, the output is forced low and remains low for the full 1200ms timeout period after release - no external components or dedicated MR pin are required, unlike earlier MAX6736–MAX6739 variants.
Can the MAX6740XKVHD7-T monitor a 5V supply, and what external components are needed?
Yes, the MAX6740XKVHD7-T can monitor a 5V supply using its RSTIN pin with a resistor divider. For example, to trigger reset at 4.5V, use R1 = 90.9kΩ and R2 = 10kΩ (VEXT_TH = 0.488V × (R1+R2)/R2 ≈ 4.5V). The RSTIN input's <±10nA leakage allows high-value resistors, minimizing current draw from the monitored rail.
What is the supply current consumption of the MAX6740XKVHD7-T under typical operating conditions?
The MAX6740XKVHD7-T consumes 6µA total supply current at +25°C - composed of 5µA from VCC1 and 1µA from VCC2 - as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This ultra-low current is maintained across the full -40°C to +85°C range and enables multi-year battery life in always-on IoT edge nodes and portable medical devices.
Is the MAX6740XKVHD7-T pin-compatible with other members of the MAX6736–MAX6745 family?
The MAX6740XKVHD7-T shares the same 5-pin SC70 package and pinout (RESET, GND, VCC2, RSTIN, VCC1) with MAX6738, MAX6739, and MAX6743, but differs functionally from MAX6736/MAX6737 (MR pin instead of RSTIN) and MAX6741/MAX6744 (POK1 instead of RSTIN). Always verify functional compatibility - not just pin count - before substitution.
