Product details
Overview
The MAX6744XKZGD3+ 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 2.313V (VTH1) and 1.575V (VTH2). It monitors primary I/O supply (VCC1) and secondary core supply (VCC2), asserts reset if either falls below its threshold, and maintains reset for ≥150ms after recovery. It is used in multivoltage portable systems requiring precise power sequencing.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6744XKZGD3+ datasheet, MAX6744XKZGD3+ pinout, MAX6744XKZGD3+ application, or MAX6744XKZGD3+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual fixed-threshold supervision, POK1 output for VCC1-to-VCC2 sequencing, 6µA supply current, SC70-5 package, and -40°C to +85°C operating range.
Technical Context
The MAX6744XKZGD3+ implements independent voltage monitoring for VCC1 and VCC2 using precision bandgap references, with reset assertion triggered by either supply falling below its factory-set threshold. Its internal timer guarantees a minimum 150ms reset timeout period after all monitored supplies recover above threshold.
It features an open-drain POK1 output that deasserts high only after VCC1 exceeds 2.313V for ≥37.5ms, enabling controlled power-up sequencing. The push-pull RESET output is referenced to VCC1 and requires no external pullup, simplifying interface with microprocessors lacking dedicated reset pullups.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
MAX6744XKZGD3+ is housed in a 5-pin SC70-5 package with exposed pad (no thermal pad connection required). Pin 1 is RESET, Pin 2 is GND, Pin 3 is VCC2, Pin 4 is POK1, Pin 5 is VCC1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RESET | Push-pull active-low reset output | Drives low when VCC1 or VCC2 drops below threshold; actively drives high when deasserted - no external pullup needed |
| 2 - GND | Analog/digital ground reference | Common return path for all internal comparators and output drivers; must be connected to system ground plane |
| 3 - VCC2 | Secondary supply input (core voltage) | Monitored against 1.575V threshold; powers internal circuitry for VCC2 comparator and timing logic |
| 4 - POK1 | Open-drain active-high power-OK output | Stays low until VCC1 >2.313V for ≥37.5ms; used to enable VCC2 regulator in sequenced power-up |
| 5 - VCC1 | Primary supply input (I/O voltage) | Monitored against 2.313V threshold; powers main supervisory circuitry and RESET output driver |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-supply supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6741XKZGD3+ | Identical dual-fixed thresholds (2.313V/1.575V), same SC70-5 package, but open-drain RESET output requiring external pullup | Lacks push-pull RESET - adds component and routing overhead where µP lacks internal pullup | Select MAX6744XKZGD3+ when push-pull RESET simplifies design; choose MAX6741XKZGD3+ only if legacy layout already includes pullup |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single-supply supervisor (3.3V threshold only); no POK1 output; SOT23-6 package; 1.6µA ICC | Cannot monitor dual rails simultaneously; no built-in sequencing capability - requires additional ICs for same function | Use only for single-rail applications; not a functional substitute for MAX6744XKZGD3+ in dual-supply systems |
Compared with MAX6741XKZGD3+, the MAX6744XKZGD3+ eliminates external RESET pullup components and reduces layout complexity; compared with TPS3808G33DBVR, it delivers integrated dual-rail monitoring and sequencing in one device - reducing total solution size and bill-of-materials cost.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for VCC1 on the MAX6744XKZGD3+?
The MAX6744XKZGD3+ has a factory-trimmed VCC1 reset threshold (VTH1) of 2.313V, with tolerance of ±0.100V over the full -40°C to +85°C temperature range. This value is encoded in the "ZG" suffix per Table 1 of the datasheet and applies specifically to the MAX6744XKZGD3+ - not to other variants in the MAX6736–MAX6745 family.
Does the MAX6744XKZGD3+ require an external pullup resistor on the RESET pin?
No, the MAX6744XKZGD3+ features a push-pull RESET output, which actively drives both high and low states. Unlike open-drain variants such as MAX6741XKZGD3+, the MAX6744XKZGD3+ does not require an external pullup resistor on the RESET pin - simplifying schematic design and improving noise immunity.
How is the POK1 output used in power sequencing with the MAX6744XKZGD3+?
The POK1 output on the MAX6744XKZGD3+ is an open-drain active-high signal that remains low until VCC1 exceeds 2.313V for at least 37.5ms. It is typically pulled up to VCC1 via an external resistor and used to enable the VCC2 regulator - ensuring VCC2 powers up only after VCC1 is fully stabilized, preventing sequencing violations in dual-rail systems.
What is the supply current consumption of the MAX6744XKZGD3+ at room temperature?
The MAX6744XKZGD3+ draws 6µA typical supply current (ICC1) at +25°C with VCC1 = 3.3V and no reset asserted. This ultra-low quiescent current is measured across the full operating voltage range (1.2V to 5.5V) and makes the MAX6744XKZGD3+ suitable for battery-critical applications like wearables and remote sensors.
Is the MAX6744XKZGD3+ pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX6736–MAX6745 family?
No - the MAX6744XKZGD3+ uses a unique pinout within the SC70-5 package: Pin 4 is POK1, whereas MAX6736/MAX6737 use Pin 4 for MR and MAX6742/MAX6745 use Pin 4 for PFI. Pin compatibility is not guaranteed across the family; PCB layout must match the specific variant's pin configuration shown in the datasheet's Pin Configurations section.
