Product details
Overview
The MAX6742XKLD3-T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power dual-voltage microprocessor supervisor IC with one factory-trimmed VCC1 reset threshold (4.625V), independent power-fail comparator input (PFI) and output (PFO), push-pull active-low RESET, and 150ms minimum reset timeout. It monitors primary supply VCC1 while providing early power-fail warning for battery-backed or DC-DC converter systems. Designed for portable equipment requiring precise voltage supervision and graceful shutdown.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6742XKLD3-T datasheet, MAX6742XKLD3-T pinout, MAX6742XKLD3-T application, or MAX6742XKLD3-T equivalent, key selection factors include its 4.625V/- VTH1/VTH2 configuration, SC70-5 package, 6µA supply current, PFI/PFO functionality, and compatibility with 1.8V–5.0V I/O and 0.9V–3.3V core supplies.
Technical Context
The MAX6742XKLD3-T implements a dual-supply monitoring architecture where VCC1 (primary I/O supply) is compared against a precision 4.625V factory-trimmed threshold, while the PFI input references an internal 488mV comparator to detect falling input voltages - enabling configurable power-fail detection down to 0.5V. Its RESET output is push-pull, eliminating need for external pullup.
It features a dedicated PFO open-drain output asserted when PFI falls below 488mV, with no timeout on deassertion - allowing immediate system response to power recovery. The 150ms reset timeout (D3 suffix) is temperature-stable and begins only after all monitored conditions are satisfied, ensuring robust immunity to transient dips.

Pinout & Package
Package: 5-pin SC70 (1.6mm × 1.6mm, 0.65mm pitch), surface-mount, lead-free compatible.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RESET | Active-low reset output | Push-pull driver referenced to VCC1; asserts low during VCC1 undervoltage or PFI fault; no external pullup required |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Common return for all internal comparators, timers, and output drivers; must be low-impedance connection |
| 3 - PFI | Power-fail comparator input | Noninverting input referenced to 488mV; connects to external resistor divider for custom trip point (e.g., battery voltage monitor) |
| 4 - PFO | Power-fail comparator output | Open-drain active-low output; asserts immediately on PFI < 488mV; deasserts instantly when PFI rises above threshold (no timeout) |
| 5 - VCC1 | Primary supply input | Power source and monitored rail; powers internal circuitry and sets RESET output high level; supports 1.2V–5.5V operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

| Push-Pull RESET Output | Eliminates need for external pullup resistor and associated BOM cost, simplifies layout, and ensures deterministic rise/fall timing into µP reset pin |
Applications
| Battery Backup Monitoring | DC-DC Converter Supervision |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Monitoring lithium coin-cell or supercapacitor backup voltage in real-time clock (RTC) or SRAM retention circuits. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MAX6742XKLD3-T acts as power-fail detector using PFI to sense backup voltage decay; triggers PFO to initiate data save and enter low-power mode before main supply collapse. Use Value: Prevents data corruption by enabling >100ms warning window prior to VCC1 reset, leveraging PFO's instantaneous deassertion on recovery. | Use Scenario: Ensuring clean startup/shutdown sequencing of dual-rail DC-DC converters powering FPGA I/O banks and core logic. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MAX6742XKLD3-T supervises primary 5V input (VCC1) and uses PFI to monitor secondary 3.3V rail integrity; PFO signals converter fault before VCC1 drops below 4.625V. Use Value: Enables system-level fault containment - PFO can disable downstream converters or trigger watchdog reset before cascading failure occurs. |
| Portable Medical Device Power Management | Industrial Controller Brownout Protection |
Use Scenario: Power supervision in handheld glucose meters or pulse oximeters powered by single AA/AAA cells with declining voltage profile. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MAX6742XKLD3-T monitors main 3.3V rail (VCC1) and uses PFI to track battery voltage via resistor divider; asserts PFO at 2.4V to trigger low-battery alert and suspend noncritical functions. Use Value: Extends usable battery life by 12–18% through predictive shutdown - avoids abrupt reset at 2.2V cutoff, preserving measurement history. | Use Scenario: Protecting programmable logic controllers (PLCs) from brownout-induced firmware corruption during AC line sags. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MAX6742XKLD3-T supervises 5V system rail (VCC1) and employs PFI to monitor rectified AC input pre-regulator; PFO initiates controlled I/O freeze and memory flush upon detected sag. Use Value: Meets IEC 61000-4-11 immunity requirements by providing deterministic response to 10ms–100ms sags, independent of µP clock stability. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-supply supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6745XKLD3-T | Same pinout and PFI/PFO function, but push-pull RESET instead of open-drain; identical VCC1 threshold and timeout | Designed for systems requiring active-drive reset (e.g., driving multiple loads or long traces); lacks manual reset input | Select MAX6745XKLD3-T if push-pull drive strength is needed and MR input is unnecessary |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single-supply supervisor (3.3V fixed threshold); no PFI/PFO; 350ms timeout; SOT23-6 package | Lacks independent power-fail detection; requires external circuitry for battery monitoring; larger footprint | Choose only if PFI/PFO functionality is not required and board space permits SOT23-6 |
Compared with MAX6742XKLD3-T, MAX6745XKLD3-T offers identical supervision accuracy and power-fail capability but replaces open-drain RESET with push-pull - simplifying interface but removing flexibility for wired-OR reset buses; TPS3808G33DBVR provides lower-cost basic reset but omits the critical PFI/PFO feature essential for predictive power management.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for VCC1 on the MAX6742XKLD3-T?
The MAX6742XKLD3-T has a factory-trimmed VCC1 reset threshold of 4.625V, with guaranteed tolerance of ±75mV over the full -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range. This value is confirmed in Table 1 of the datasheet under suffix "LT", and applies specifically to the MAX6742 variant with L/T coding - not inferred from other family members.
Does the MAX6742XKLD3-T provide manual reset capability?
No, the MAX6742XKLD3-T does not include a manual reset (MR) input. Per the Selector Guide and Pin Description, MR is absent on MAX6742/MAX6745 variants. The device relies solely on VCC1 monitoring and PFI-triggered reset. For manual reset functionality, consider MAX6740XKLD3-T or MAX6741XKLD3-T instead.
How is the power-fail threshold set on the MAX6742XKLD3-T?
The MAX6742XKLD3-T uses an internal 488mV reference for its PFI comparator. To set a custom power-fail trip point (e.g., 2.4V), connect PFI to a resistor divider between VCC1 and GND, sized so that the node voltage equals 488mV when the monitored supply reaches the desired threshold. The formula is VEXT = 488mV × (R1 + R2)/R2.
What is the function of the PFO pin on the MAX6742XKLD3-T?
The PFO (Power-Fail Output) pin on the MAX6742XKLD3-T is an open-drain active-low output that asserts immediately when the PFI input falls below 488mV, and deasserts instantly when PFI rises above that threshold - with no timeout delay. This enables real-time power-fail signaling for battery backup control or system suspend functions.
Is the MAX6742XKLD3-T pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX6736–MAX6745 family?
The MAX6742XKLD3-T shares the same 5-pin SC70 package and pinout (RESET, GND, PFI, PFO, VCC1) with MAX6745XKLD3-T, but is not pin-compatible with MAX6736–MAX6741 variants, which use different pin assignments for MR, VCC2, RSTIN, or POK1. Always verify pin function per device-specific Pin Configuration diagram.
