Product details
Overview
The MAX6741XKSHD3 from Maxim Integrated is a dual-voltage microprocessor supervisor IC with push-pull reset output, 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 operates from -40°C to +85°C in a 5-pin SC70 package. It is used in multivoltage portable systems requiring precise power sequencing.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6741XKSHD3 datasheet, MAX6741XKSHD3 pinout, MAX6741XKSHD3 application, or MAX6741XKSHD3 equivalent, key selection criteria include VCC1/VCC2 threshold pairing, POK1 timing (37.5–75ms), 6µA quiescent current, SC70 footprint constraints, and compatibility with bidirectional µP reset I/O interfaces.
Technical Context
The MAX6741XKSHD3 implements dual independent voltage monitoring with precision internal references (±1.5% over temperature) and a dedicated open-drain POK1 output that deasserts only after VCC1 exceeds 2.925V for ≥37.5ms. Its reset logic combines VCC1 and VCC2 comparators with an internal timeout counter that restarts on any threshold violation.
It features a push-pull RESET output referenced to VCC1, eliminating external pull-up requirements, and supports power-supply sequencing by enabling VCC2 regulation only after POK1 asserts - critical for I/O-before-core startup in dual-rail processors.
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 |
| VCC2 Threshold | 2.188V ±1.5% - defines secondary supply minimum before system reset triggers |
| Reset Timeout | 150ms min - ensures µP remains held in reset long enough for stable power rail settling |
| POK1 Timeout | 37.5ms min - guarantees VCC1 stability before enabling downstream VCC2 regulator |
| Supply Current | 6µA typical - enables battery life extension in always-on portable equipment |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and automotive cabin-temperature environments |
| Package | 5-pin SC70 (2.0mm × 1.25mm) - ultra-compact footprint for space-constrained PCB layouts |
Pinout & Package
MAX6741XKSHD3 is housed in a 5-pin SC70-5 package (2.0mm × 1.25mm, 0.65mm pitch), optimized for high-density portable designs. Pin assignments are validated per Maxim's official pin configuration diagram for MAX6741.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RESET | Push-pull active-low reset output | Drives µP reset pin directly without external pull-up; sinks/source current per VCC1 |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all internal comparators, timers, and outputs |
| 3 - VCC2 | Secondary supply monitor input | Connects to core or auxiliary rail; triggers reset if <2.188V |
| 4 - POK1 | Open-drain power-OK output (active-high) | Signals VCC1 stability; used to enable VCC2 regulator after 37.5ms delay |
| 5 - VCC1 | Primary supply monitor input & power rail | Supplies internal circuitry and defines POK1 trip point at 2.925V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual fixed-threshold monitoring | Simultaneously supervises VCC1 (2.925V) and VCC2 (2.188V) with independent comparators |
| VCC1 Power-OK (POK1) output | Enables controlled power sequencing: VCC2 activation only after VCC1 stabilizes for ≥37.5ms |
| Push-pull RESET output | Eliminates need for external pull-up resistor, reducing BOM count and layout complexity |
| Ultra-low 6µA supply current | Extends battery runtime in handheld devices and IoT edge nodes operating in sleep mode |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6744XKSHD3 | Same thresholds (2.925V/2.188V) and timing, but push-pull RESET instead of open-drain | Compatible in same PCB layout; differs only in RESET drive type - no change to sequencing logic | Select MAX6744XKSHD3 when µP reset pin requires push-pull drive without external pull-up |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single-supply (3.3V only), no POK output, 200ms timeout, SOT-23-6 package | Lacks dual-rail monitoring and sequencing capability; requires separate POK generation | Use only if monitoring only one rail and external sequencing control is acceptable |
Compared with MAX6741XKSHD3, MAX6744XKSHD3 offers identical supervision functionality with push-pull RESET, while TPS3808G33DBVR provides lower-cost single-rail supervision but cannot replace POK-based sequencing - making MAX6741XKSHD3 irreplaceable in dual-rail sequenced systems.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for VCC1 and VCC2 on the MAX6741XKSHD3?
The MAX6741XKSHD3 has factory-trimmed reset thresholds of 2.925V for VCC1 and 2.188V for VCC2, as defined by the "SH" suffix per Maxim's Table 1. These values are guaranteed over -40°C to +85°C with ±1.5% tolerance and serve as the trip points for both RESET assertion and POK1 deassertion logic in the MAX6741XKSHD3.
Does the MAX6741XKSHD3 provide power-supply sequencing capability?
Yes, the MAX6741XKSHD3 provides dedicated power-supply sequencing via its open-drain POK1 output. POK1 remains low until VCC1 exceeds 2.925V for ≥37.5ms, then goes high to enable downstream regulators - enabling reliable I/O-before-core or core-before-I/O sequencing depending on threshold selection in the MAX6741XKSHD3.
What is the function of the POK1 pin on the MAX6741XKSHD3?
The POK1 pin on the MAX6741XKSHD3 is an open-drain active-high power-OK output. It stays low while VCC1 is below 2.925V, then transitions high after VCC1 remains above threshold for ≥37.5ms. This signal is used to gate enable inputs of secondary DC/DC converters, ensuring proper power-up sequence in dual-rail systems using the MAX6741XKSHD3.
Is an external pull-up resistor required for the RESET output of the MAX6741XKSHD3?
No, the MAX6741XKSHD3 features a push-pull RESET output, so no external pull-up resistor is needed. The output actively drives high (to VCC1) and low (to GND), simplifying interface design with µPs having bidirectional reset pins - unlike open-drain variants that require external pull-ups in the MAX6741XKSHD3 family.
What is the guaranteed reset timeout period for the MAX6741XKSHD3?
MAX6741XKSHD3 guarantees a minimum reset timeout period of 150ms (D3 suffix), beginning after all monitored supplies (VCC1 and VCC2) exceed their respective thresholds. This hold time ensures the microprocessor completes power stabilization before release, and is fully characterized across -40°C to +85°C for the MAX6741XKSHD3.
