Product details
Overview
The MAX6744XKWGD3+ 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 (VTH1) and 1.575V (VTH2). It monitors I/O and core supply rails in portable systems, asserts reset when either supply drops below its threshold, maintains reset for ≥150ms after recovery, and draws only 6µA typical supply current. It is used in notebook computers and multivoltage embedded controllers requiring precise power sequencing.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6744XKWGD3+ datasheet, MAX6744XKWGD3+ pinout, MAX6744XKWGD3+ application, or MAX6744XKWGD3+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual fixed-threshold supervision (2.925V/1.575V), POK1 output for VCC1-to-VCC2 sequencing, 150ms reset timeout, SC70-5 package, and -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range.
Technical Context
The MAX6744XKWGD3+ implements two independent voltage comparators with precision internal references (0.488V bandgap-derived) to monitor VCC1 and VCC2 against factory-set thresholds. Its POK1 output is an open-drain active-high signal that deasserts only after VCC1 exceeds VTH1 for 37.5–75.0ms, enabling controlled power-up sequencing of downstream regulators.
It features a push-pull RESET output referenced to VCC1, eliminating external pullup requirements, and includes robust transient immunity: reset is not asserted for VCC1/VCC2 transients shorter than ~35µs at 100mV overdrive. The device operates across 1.0–5.5V VCC1 and 0.9–3.3V VCC2 ranges with guaranteed reset assertion down to VCC1 = 1.2V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VTH1 / VTH2 | 2.925V / 1.575V - factory-trimmed thresholds for primary (I/O) and secondary (core) supply monitoring |
| Reset Timeout (tRP) | 150ms min - ensures µP remains held in reset long enough for stable power rail recovery |
| POK1 Timeout (tPOKP) | 37.5–75.0ms - defines minimum VCC1 stabilization time before enabling VCC2 via POK1 |
| Supply Current (ICC1) | 6µA typ - enables battery-powered operation with minimal quiescent drain |
| Operating Temp Range | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and portable equipment environments |
| Package | 5-pin SC70 - 2.0mm × 1.25mm footprint ideal for space-constrained PCB layouts |
| RESET Output Type | Push-pull - drives high/low actively; no external pullup required for µP reset interface |
Pinout & Package
MAX6744XKWGD3+ 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 | Active-low push-pull reset output | Drives µP reset pin directly; asserts low if VCC1 < 2.925V or VCC2 < 1.575V; deasserts only after both exceed thresholds for ≥150ms |
| 2 - GND | Analog/digital ground reference | Common return path for all internal comparators, timers, and output drivers; must be low-impedance |
| 3 - VCC2 | Secondary supply input (core voltage) | Monitored against 1.575V threshold; supports 0.9V–3.3V range; valid reset assertion requires VCC2 ≥ 1.2V |
| 4 - POK1 | Open-drain active-high VCC1 power-OK output | Stays low until VCC1 ≥ 2.925V for ≥37.5ms; used to enable VCC2 regulator or control power sequencing logic |
| 5 - VCC1 | Primary supply input (I/O voltage) | Monitored against 2.925V threshold; supports 1.0V–5.5V range; powers internal circuitry and RESET/POK1 drivers |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual fixed-threshold supervision | Simultaneously monitors 2.925V (VCC1) and 1.575V (VCC2) without external resistors or trimming |
| VCC1 Power-OK (POK1) output | Enables precise power-up sequencing by delaying VCC2 activation until VCC1 stabilizes for ≥37.5ms |
| 150ms minimum reset timeout | Guarantees µP reset hold time sufficient for full power rail settling and oscillator startup |
| 6µA typical supply current | Extends battery life in portable devices; ICC1 remains stable across -40°C to +85°C |
| Push-pull RESET output | Eliminates need for external pullup resistor, reducing BOM count and layout complexity |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6741XKWGD3+ | Identical pinout, same 2.925V/1.575V thresholds and 150ms timeout, but features open-drain RESET (not push-pull) and same POK1 functionality | Requires external pullup on RESET for µP interface; suitable where board already includes pullup or bidirectional reset I/O is needed | Select MAX6741XKWGD3+ only if open-drain RESET is required for level-shifting or wired-OR configurations |
| TPS3808G15DBVR | Single-supply supervisor (1.5V threshold only), SOT-23-6 package, 360ms timeout, 2.5µA supply current; lacks POK1 and dual-monitoring capability | Cannot replace MAX6744XKWGD3+ in dual-rail systems; limited to single-rail monitoring with longer timeout | Use TPS3808G15DBVR only for cost-sensitive single-supply applications where POK1 and VCC2 monitoring are unnecessary |
Compared with MAX6744XKWGD3+, MAX6741XKWGD3+ offers identical supervision accuracy and sequencing capability but requires external RESET pullup, while TPS3808G15DBVR reduces supply current but sacrifices dual-rail monitoring and POK1 functionality-making MAX6744XKWGD3+ uniquely suited for compact, sequenced dual-voltage systems.

FAQ
What is the function of the POK1 pin on the MAX6744XKWGD3+?
The POK1 pin on the MAX6744XKWGD3+ is an open-drain active-high output that signals when the primary supply (VCC1) has exceeded its 2.925V reset threshold for at least 37.5ms. It is used to control power sequencing-for example, enabling a downstream VCC2 regulator only after VCC1 is stable. The MAX6744XKWGD3+ guarantees this timing behavior across -40°C to +85°C.
Does the MAX6744XKWGD3+ require external components for basic dual-supply supervision?
No, the MAX6744XKWGD3+ requires no external resistors or capacitors for basic dual-supply supervision. Its 2.925V and 1.575V reset thresholds are factory-trimmed, the 150ms reset timeout is internal, and the push-pull RESET output eliminates the need for an external pullup. Only decoupling capacitors (e.g., 0.1µF near VCC1) are recommended for noise immunity-no threshold-setting network is needed for the MAX6744XKWGD3+.
What is the minimum VCC1 voltage required for the MAX6744XKWGD3+ to assert a valid RESET?
The MAX6744XKWGD3+ guarantees valid RESET assertion and deassertion behavior only when VCC1 is ≥1.2V. Below 1.2V, the internal comparators and timer may not operate reliably. The device monitors VCC1 across a 1.0V–5.5V range, but functional reset operation-including accurate 2.925V threshold detection and 150ms timeout-is specified and guaranteed starting at VCC1 = 1.2V.
How does the MAX6744XKWGD3+ handle short voltage transients on VCC1 or VCC2?
The MAX6744XKWGD3+ provides inherent immunity to short-duration transients: it will not assert RESET for falling VCC1 or VCC2 glitches shorter than ~35µs when the voltage dip exceeds the threshold by 100mV. This prevents spurious resets during normal switching noise. For enhanced immunity, a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor placed close to the VCC1 pin is recommended per the MAX6744XKWGD3+ datasheet guidelines.
Is the MAX6744XKWGD3+ pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX6736–MAX6745 family?
The MAX6744XKWGD3+ shares the same 5-pin SC70-5 package and pinout (RESET, GND, VCC2, POK1, VCC1) with MAX6741, MAX6742, and MAX6745-but not with MAX6736–MAX6739 or MAX6740/MAX6743, which have different pin assignments (e.g., MR or RSTIN on Pin 3). Always verify pin function mapping using the MAX6744XKWGD3+ specific pin configuration diagram-not generic family diagrams-before PCB layout.
