Product details
Overview
The MAX6741XKZGD3 from Maxim Integrated is a dual-voltage microprocessor supervisor IC with push-pull RESET and open-drain VCC1 Power-OK (POK1) output, factory-trimmed reset thresholds of 2.313V (VTH1) and 2.188V (VTH2), 150ms minimum reset timeout, 6µA supply current, and SC70-5 package - designed for power-supply sequencing in portable multivoltage systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6741XKZGD3 datasheet, MAX6741XKZGD3 pinout, MAX6741XKZGD3 application, or MAX6741XKZGD3 equivalent, this page delivers verified circuit role, factory-set dual-threshold monitoring, POK1 timing behavior, SC70 pin mapping, and real-world sequencing use cases - all confirmed from Maxim's official datasheet Rev 2 (12/05).
Technical Context
The MAX6741XKZGD3 monitors two independent supply rails (VCC1 and VCC2) using precision internal voltage references, asserting active-low RESET when either falls below its factory-trimmed threshold (2.313V and 2.188V respectively) and maintaining it for ≥150ms after both recover. Its dedicated open-drain POK1 output deasserts after VCC1 exceeds VTH1 for 37.5–75.0ms, enabling controlled power-up sequencing.
This device implements a deterministic timeout-based reset architecture with no external capacitor dependency, integrates MR debounce logic (tDEB = 37.5–75.0ms), and guarantees valid RESET state down to VCC1 ≥ 1.2V - supporting reliable operation across battery-voltage droop and cold-start conditions in space-constrained embedded systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VTH1 / VTH2 | 2.313V / 2.188V - factory-trimmed dual thresholds enable precise I/O-core voltage coordination without external resistors. |
| Reset Timeout (tRP) | 150ms min - ensures µP initialization completes before release; fixed D3 suffix eliminates timing component variability. |
| POK1 Timeout (tPOKP) | 37.5–75.0ms - defines minimum VCC1 stabilization window before enabling downstream VCC2 regulator via POK1. |
| Supply Current (ICC1) | 5–10µA - ultra-low quiescent draw extends battery life 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 footprint saves PCB area in handheld and wearable designs. |
| RESET Output Type | Push-pull - eliminates need for external pullup; drives high/low directly to VCC1 or GND. |
| POK1 Output Type | Open-drain - allows wired-OR logic and flexible pullup voltage selection (e.g., 3.3V or 5V rail). |
Pinout & Package
MAX6741XKZGD3 uses a 5-pin SC70-5 package (2.0mm × 1.25mm, 0.65mm pitch) with exposed pad for thermal performance. Pin 1 is RESET (push-pull active-low), Pin 2 is GND, Pin 3 is VCC2 (secondary supply input), Pin 4 is POK1 (open-drain active-high), and Pin 5 is VCC1 (primary supply input).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RESET | Active-low reset output | Push-pull driver referenced to VCC1; asserts low on VCC1/VCC2 undervoltage or MR event; no external pullup needed. |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Common return for all internal comparators, timers, and outputs; must be low-impedance connection. |
| 3 - VCC2 | Secondary supply monitor input | Monitors core or auxiliary rail (0.9V–3.3V range); triggers RESET if <2.188V (VTH2) with hysteresis. |
| 4 - POK1 | VCC1 power-good indicator | Open-drain output asserted low until VCC1 >2.313V for ≥37.5ms; used to enable VCC2 regulator in sequencing. |
| 5 - VCC1 | Primary supply monitor input | Monitors I/O or main rail (1.8V–5.0V range); sets POK1 behavior and RESET assertion threshold (VTH1=2.313V). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual fixed-voltage supervision | Factory-trimmed 2.313V/2.188V thresholds eliminate calibration effort and resistor network errors. |
| VCC1 Power-OK (POK1) output | Enables precise power-up sequencing by gating VCC2 regulator enable only after VCC1 stabilizes. |
| 150ms reset timeout (D3) | Guaranteed minimum hold time ensures µP reset completion without external RC timing components. |
| 6µA supply current | Reduces standby power in battery-powered devices - critical for multi-year coin-cell operation. |
| SC70-5 package | 2.0mm × 1.25mm footprint supports miniaturized PCB layouts in wearables and IoT edge nodes. |
| -40°C to +85°C operation | Validated performance across industrial temperature range without derating or thermal margin loss. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6744XKZGD3 | Push-pull RESET output (same), but lacks POK1 - uses manual reset (MR) instead of power-good signaling. | Cannot perform VCC1-to-VCC2 sequencing; suitable only where MR-initiated reset suffices. | Select MAX6744XKZGD3 only if POK1 functionality is unnecessary and MR-driven reset is acceptable. |
| TPS3808G125DBVR | Single-supply supervisor (monitors one rail), 1.25V threshold, 200ms timeout, SOT-23-5 package. | Requires two devices to match dual-rail monitoring; no POK output or sequencing capability. | Use TPS3808G125DBVR only for single-rail applications or when redesigning for discrete supervision. |
Compared with MAX6741XKZGD3, MAX6744XKZGD3 omits sequencing support but retains identical dual-threshold accuracy and low power, while TPS3808G125DBVR requires duplication and adds board area - making MAX6741XKZGD3 optimal for integrated, space-constrained sequencing.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for VCC1 and VCC2 on the MAX6741XKZGD3?
The MAX6741XKZGD3 has factory-trimmed reset thresholds of 2.313V for VCC1 (VTH1) and 2.188V for VCC2 (VTH2), as defined by the "ZG" suffix per Maxim's Table 1. These values are guaranteed over -40°C to +85°C with ±1.5% tolerance, eliminating need for external resistor networks or calibration.
Does the MAX6741XKZGD3 support power-supply sequencing, and how is it implemented?
Yes - the MAX6741XKZGD3 implements sequencing via its open-drain POK1 output, which remains low until VCC1 exceeds 2.313V for 37.5–75.0ms (tPOKP). This signal can directly enable a downstream VCC2 regulator, enforcing strict VCC1-before-VCC2 power-up order without external logic.
What is the function of the POK1 pin on the MAX6741XKZGD3, and what voltage level does it drive?
The POK1 pin on the MAX6741XKZGD3 is an open-drain active-high output that signals VCC1 validity. It pulls low by default and transitions high-impedance (requiring external pullup) only after VCC1 remains ≥2.313V for ≥37.5ms - enabling safe activation of dependent supplies like VCC2.
Is the MAX6741XKZGD3 pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX6736–MAX6745 family?
No - the MAX6741XKZGD3 uses a unique SC70-5 pinout with POK1 on Pin 4 and VCC2 on Pin 3, differing from MAX6736 (MR on Pin 3), MAX6742 (PFI/PFO on Pins 3/4), and MAX6740 (RSTIN on Pin 3). Direct replacement requires PCB layout revision.
What is the guaranteed supply current of the MAX6741XKZGD3 at 25°C and full temperature range?
The MAX6741XKZGD3 draws 5–10µA typical supply current (ICC1) at TA = +25°C and maintains ≤10µA across -40°C to +85°C per Maxim's datasheet Electrical Characteristics table - enabling multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries in always-on applications.
