Product details
Overview
The MAX6741XKRVD3 from Maxim Integrated is a dual-voltage microprocessor supervisor IC with push-pull reset output, VCC1 power-OK (POK1) output, and factory-trimmed reset thresholds of 2.925V (VCC1) and 2.188V (VCC2). It monitors two independent supply rails, asserts reset if either falls below its threshold, maintains reset for ≥150ms after recovery, and draws only 6µA supply current. It is used in multivoltage portable systems requiring precise power-supply sequencing.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6741XKRVD3 datasheet, MAX6741XKRVD3 pinout, MAX6741XKRVD3 application, or MAX6741XKRVD3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual fixed-threshold supervision, POK1 timing (37.5–75ms), SC70-5 package footprint, -40°C to +85°C operation, and compatibility with I/O-to-core power sequencing architectures.
Technical Context
The MAX6741XKRVD3 implements dual independent voltage monitoring channels with precision internal references (±1.5% typical threshold accuracy over temperature), a dedicated open-drain POK1 output that deasserts only after VCC1 exceeds 2.925V for ≥37.5ms, and a push-pull RESET output referenced to VCC1 with 0.4V VOL at 3.2mA sink. Its reset timeout is fixed at 150ms (D3 suffix), and it operates across VCC1 = 1.0–5.5V and VCC2 = 0.9–3.3V.
It features no manual reset input (MR pin absent), no RSTIN or PFI/PFO circuitry, and relies solely on VCC1 and VCC2 inputs for supervision. The POK1 output enables controlled turn-on of secondary supplies (e.g., VCC2 DC/DC converter) only after VCC1 stabilizes - a critical function in processors requiring I/O-before-core power-up sequences.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC1 Threshold | 2.925V ±1.5% - sets primary supply valid level for POK1 assertion and reset release |

| Package | 5-pin SC70 - 2.0mm × 1.25mm footprint ideal for space-constrained portable PCBs |
Pinout & Package
MAX6741XKRVD3 is housed in a 5-pin SC70-5 package (2.0mm × 1.25mm, 0.65mm pitch), with pins arranged as follows (top view): Pin 1 = RESET, Pin 2 = GND, Pin 3 = VCC2, Pin 4 = POK1, Pin 5 = VCC1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RESET | Push-pull active-low reset output | Drives µP reset pin directly without external pullup; sinks 3.2mA, sources 500µA at VCC1 |
| 2 - GND | Analog/digital ground reference | Common return for all internal comparators, timers, and output drivers |
| 3 - VCC2 | Secondary supply input (core rail) | Monitored against 2.188V threshold; must exceed threshold for reset release |
| 4 - POK1 | Open-drain active-high power-OK output | Signals VCC1 stability; requires external pullup to enable VCC2 sequencing control |
| 5 - VCC1 | Primary supply input (I/O rail) | Monitored against 2.925V threshold; powers internal circuitry and defines RESET/POK1 logic levels |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual fixed-threshold supervision | Simultaneously monitors VCC1 (2.925V) and VCC2 (2.188V) with independent comparators and hysteresis |

Use Value: Ensures clean shutdown and restart during transient line drops without software intervention. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6744XKRVD3 | Identical thresholds (2.925V/2.188V), same D3 timeout, but push-pull POK1 instead of open-drain | Requires no external POK1 pullup resistor; better suited when driving CMOS inputs directly | Select MAX6744XKRVD3 if POK1 load is purely capacitive or CMOS, avoiding external pullup design overhead |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single-supply supervisor (3.3V only), no POK output, 200ms timeout, 1.5µA IQ | Lacks dual-rail monitoring and sequencing capability; suitable only for single-rail systems | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR only when supervising one rail and ultra-low IQ is prioritized over sequencing |
Compared with MAX6744XKRVD3, the MAX6741XKRVD3 requires an external POK1 pullup but offers greater flexibility in driving diverse loads; versus TPS3808G33DBVR, it provides essential dual-rail coordination and sequencing control unavailable in single-supply alternatives.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for VCC1 and VCC2 on the MAX6741XKRVD3?
The MAX6741XKRVD3 has factory-trimmed reset thresholds of 2.925V for VCC1 and 2.188V for VCC2, as indicated by the "RV" suffix in its part number. These values are specified over the full -40°C to +85°C temperature range with ±1.5% typical accuracy, and are used to determine when the RESET output is asserted or released based on supply rail behavior.
Does the MAX6741XKRVD3 include a manual reset (MR) input?
No, the MAX6741XKRVD3 does not include a manual reset (MR) input. Its pinout consists only of RESET, GND, VCC2, POK1, and VCC1 - omitting MR entirely. This distinguishes it from variants like MAX6736/MAX6737 and confirms its role as a dedicated dual-supply sequencer without operator-initiated reset capability.
What is the function and timing behavior of the POK1 output on the MAX6741XKRVD3?
The POK1 output on the MAX6741XKRVD3 is an open-drain active-high signal that indicates VCC1 stability. It remains low until VCC1 exceeds 2.925V for a minimum timeout period of 37.5ms (typical) to 75ms (max). Once satisfied, POK1 goes high (with external pullup) and can be used to enable a downstream regulator - a key feature for enforcing I/O-before-core power sequencing in the MAX6741XKRVD3.
Can the MAX6741XKRVD3 monitor voltages below 0.9V or above 5.0V?
No, the MAX6741XKRVD3 is specified to monitor VCC1 from 1.0V to 5.5V and VCC2 from 0.9V to 3.3V. Voltages below 0.9V on VCC2 or below 1.0V on VCC1 fall outside guaranteed operation per the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. Operation outside these ranges may result in undefined reset behavior or damage.
Is the MAX6741XKRVD3 pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX6736–MAX6745 family?
No, the MAX6741XKRVD3 is not universally pin-compatible across the MAX6736–MAX6745 family. While all use the SC70-5 package, pin functions differ: MAX6741XKRVD3 assigns Pin 4 to POK1, whereas MAX6736 uses Pin 3 for MR and MAX6742 uses Pin 3 for PFI. Direct substitution requires verification of pin mapping, threshold configuration, and feature alignment - the MAX6741XKRVD3 is optimized specifically for POK-driven sequencing.
