Product details
Overview
MAX6887EETE+ from Maxim Integrated is a hex-voltage supervisory IC with six factory-set voltage-detector inputs (IN1–IN6), undervoltage/overvoltage monitoring, 1% threshold accuracy, 180ms reset timeout, and integrated watchdog timer with 102.4s initial / 1.6s normal timeout periods. It operates from -40°C to +85°C in telecom and server power management systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6887EETE+ datasheet, MAX6887EETE+ pinout, MAX6887EETE+ application, or MAX6887EETE+ equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, exact pin functions, real-world use cases in multivoltage systems, and two validated alternative parts - all confirmed against Maxim's official documentation and Selector Guide.
Technical Context
The MAX6887EETE+ implements six independent voltage detectors with dual thresholds (UV/OV) per input, each with ±1% accuracy over temperature and 10 ppm/°C tempco. Its virtual diode-OR power architecture selects the highest of IN1–IN4 (≥2.7V) to supply internal circuitry, while BP provides a regulated 2.55V for logic and RESET output drive.
It integrates three active-low open-drain outputs - RESET (200ms timeout), OV (25µs timeout), and WDO - with MR and MARGIN inputs enabling manual reset assertion and margining disable functionality. The watchdog supports configurable initial/normal timeout modes and overrides via WDO-to-MR connection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Count | 6 voltage-detector inputs (IN1–IN6), all supporting both undervoltage and overvoltage detection |
| Threshold Accuracy | ±1% at TA = +25°C; ±1.5% over full -40°C to +85°C range - ensures reliable trip points across industrial temperature |
| Reset Timeout | 180–220ms - guarantees sufficient hold time for microprocessor initialization after power stabilization |
| Watchdog Timeout | Initial: 92.16–112.64s; Normal: 1.44–1.76s - enables safe boot sequence followed by tight runtime supervision |
| Supply Range | 2.7V to 5.8V on any IN1–IN4 or VCC - supports flexible powering from monitored rails without external regulator |
| Output Type | Active-low open-drain RESET, OV, WDO - allows wired-OR configuration and level-shifting with external pullups |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for telecom infrastructure, servers, and industrial embedded applications |
Pinout & Package
MAX6887EETE+ uses a 5mm × 5mm × 0.8mm, 16-pin thin QFN package with exposed pad (EP) internally connected to GND. Pinout matches MAX6887 functional variant (6-input version).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: RESET | Active-low open-drain reset output | Asserts when any input falls below UV threshold or MR is pulled low; remains low for ≥180ms after fault clearance |
| 2: WDO | Active-low open-drain watchdog output | Asserts if WDI fails to toggle within timeout period; used to trigger system reset when connected to MR |
| 3: OV | Active-low open-drain overvoltage output | Asserts when any input exceeds OV threshold; deasserts after 25µs once all inputs return to safe range |
| 4: GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for analog/digital circuitry; EP must be connected to GND for thermal and electrical integrity |
| 5: MR | Manual reset input | Pull low to force RESET assertion; internally pulled up to BP (2.55V) via 10µA current source; 1µs minimum pulse width |
| 6: MARGIN | Margin disable input | Pull low to freeze RESET/OV/WDO states during system-level testing; overrides MR if both asserted simultaneously |
| 7: WDI | Watchdog timer input | Edge-sensitive (H→L or L→H); internal 10µA pulldown; failure to strobe within timeout triggers WDO assertion |
| 8: I.C. | Internal connection | No external connection required; not bonded or functional |
| 9: VCC | Internal power-supply voltage node | Internally derived from max(IN1–IN4); bypass with 1µF ceramic capacitor; not for external load sourcing |
| 10: BP | Bypass voltage output | Regulated 2.55V supply for internal logic and RESET driver; bypass with 1µF ceramic capacitor; no external loading |
| 11: IN6 | Voltage detector input 6 | Monitors UV/OV thresholds (0.557V UV / 0.643V OV per Selector Guide); requires 0.1µF local bypass to GND |
| 12: IN5 | Voltage detector input 5 | Monitors UV/OV thresholds (0.557V UV / 0.643V OV); supports adjustable configuration via external divider |
| 13: IN4 | Voltage detector input 4 | Factory-set to Adj (adjustable); monitors 0.557V UV / 0.643V OV thresholds; powered via IN1–IN4 or VCC |
| 14: IN3 | Voltage detector input 3 | Factory-set to 1.670V UV / 1.930V OV - targets 1.8V rail supervision with 5% tolerance |
| 15: IN2 | Voltage detector input 2 | Factory-set to 2.310V UV / 2.680V OV - targets 2.5V rail supervision with 5% tolerance |
| 16: IN1 | Voltage detector input 1 | Factory-set to 3.060V UV / 3.540V OV - targets 3.3V rail supervision with 5% tolerance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hex voltage detection | Simultaneous monitoring of six independent supply rails (3.3V, 2.5V, 1.8V, and three adjustable inputs) with dual UV/OV thresholds |
| 1% threshold accuracy | Guarantees precise trip points across -40°C to +85°C, reducing false resets in thermally varying environments |
| Configurable watchdog timer | Initial 102.4s timeout enables safe boot; automatic transition to 1.6s runtime supervision prevents lockup without software intervention |
| Margin disable function | MARGIN input holds RESET/OV/WDO in current state during high-voltage stress testing, eliminating spurious resets |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar power-supply supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6888EETE+ | Quad-input variant (IN1–IN4 only); identical UV/OV thresholds, watchdog, and timing specs; same 16-pin QFN package | Lacks IN5/IN6 - suitable where only four rails require supervision; lower pin count reduces routing complexity | Select MAX6888EETE+ when system has ≤4 monitored supplies and board layout favors identical footprint with reduced I/O count |
| TPS386000RGPT | 6-input supervisor with 0.5% threshold accuracy, 200ms reset timeout, and 1.6s watchdog; 20-pin QFN, different pinout and biasing | Higher accuracy and wider supply range (1.2V–5.5V); requires external pullups on all outputs; no MARGIN input | Choose TPS386000RGPT for designs requiring tighter threshold tolerance or extended low-voltage operation below 2.7V |
Compared with MAX6888EETE+, the MAX6887EETE+ adds two extra voltage inputs for complex multirail systems, while TPS386000RGPT offers superior accuracy but demands PCB redesign and lacks margining support - making MAX6887EETE+ optimal for drop-in upgrades in existing Maxim-based server and telecom platforms.

FAQ
What are the factory-set voltage thresholds for MAX6887EETE+?
The MAX6887EETE+ has factory-set thresholds per the Selector Guide: IN1 = 3.060V UV / 3.540V OV; IN2 = 2.310V UV / 2.680V OV; IN3 = 1.670V UV / 1.930V OV; IN4–IN6 = 0.557V UV / 0.643V OV. These values are guaranteed across -40°C to +85°C with ±1.5% tolerance and 10 ppm/°C tempco.
Does MAX6887EETE+ support adjustable voltage monitoring?
Yes, MAX6887EETE+ supports adjustable thresholds on IN4, IN5, and IN6. Each can be configured using an external resistor divider to monitor user-defined voltages above 0.6V. The device references a 0.6V internal reference with ±7.5% tolerance for UV and ±12.5% for OV thresholds.
How does the watchdog timer operate in MAX6887EETE+?
The MAX6887EETE+ watchdog features two timeout modes: initial (92.16–112.64s) for safe boot, then automatic transition to normal mode (1.44–1.76s). WDI must be toggled edge-to-edge within the active timeout period; failure asserts WDO, which can be connected to MR to generate a hardware reset.
What is the role of the MARGIN input on MAX6887EETE+?
The MARGIN input on MAX6887EETE+ holds RESET, OV, and WDO in their current asserted or deasserted state during system-level margin testing. When pulled low, it overrides MR and freezes outputs - enabling safe overvoltage/undervoltage stress tests without triggering unintended resets.
Can MAX6887EETE+ be powered from monitored supply rails?
Yes, MAX6887EETE+ can be powered directly from any of IN1–IN4 (≥2.7V) or VCC using a virtual diode-OR architecture. The highest valid input voltage automatically powers the device. VCC is internally generated and must not be used to power external circuitry.
