Product details
Overview
MAX6887EETE+T from Maxim Integrated is a hex-voltage supervisory IC with six factory-configured detector inputs (IN1–IN6), active-low open-drain RESET/OV/WDO outputs, 1% threshold accuracy, and dual-mode watchdog timer (102.4s initial / 1.6s normal timeout). It monitors 3.3V, 2.5V, and 1.8V supplies plus three adjustable inputs in telecom and server power systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6887EETE+T datasheet, MAX6887EETE+T pinout, MAX6887EETE+T application, or MAX6887EETE+T equivalent, key selection factors include undervoltage/overvoltage threshold precision (±1.5% over -40°C to +85°C), 200ms reset timeout stability, watchdog input timing compliance, and 16-pin thin QFN thermal performance under multivoltage rail stress.
Technical Context
The MAX6887EETE+T implements six independent voltage detectors with matched undervoltage (UV) and overvoltage (OV) thresholds per input, each featuring 0.3% hysteresis and 10ppm/°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 logic rail.
Watchdog operation uses two distinct timeout modes: an initial 102.4s window for microprocessor initialization, followed by a 1.6s normal mode requiring WDI edge transitions. RESET assertion persists for 200ms after fault clearance; OV deasserts after 25µs; all outputs are open-drain with 0.4V VOL at 4mA sink current.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5.8V on IN1–IN4 or VCC - ensures operation across standard DC-DC output rails without external regulation |
| Threshold Accuracy | ±1.5% over -40°C to +85°C - guarantees reliable UV/OV detection despite temperature drift in server environments |
| RESET Timeout Period | 180–220ms - provides sufficient hold time for processor core and peripheral initialization sequences |
| Watchdog Timeout (Normal) | 1.44–1.76s - enables robust software execution monitoring with margin for interrupt latency |
| Input Leakage Current | ±150nA on adjustable inputs - minimizes error in resistor-divider threshold setting for custom supply monitoring |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +85°C - supports deployment in industrial-grade telecom and storage equipment enclosures |
| Package | 16-pin thin QFN (5mm × 5mm × 0.8mm, exposed pad) - delivers low thermal resistance (θJA = 48°C/W) for high-density board layouts |
Pinout & Package
MAX6887EETE+T is housed in a 16-pin thin QFN package with exposed thermal pad (EP) internally connected to GND. The package measures 5mm × 5mm × 0.8mm and supports reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: RESET | Active-low open-drain reset output | Asserts when any monitored supply falls below UV threshold or MR is pulled low; holds low for 200ms after fault clearance - ensures full system reset recovery |
| 2: WDO | Active-low open-drain watchdog output | Asserts when WDI fails to toggle within 1.6s (normal mode); connects to MR to auto-generate resets - eliminates need for external logic in fail-safe designs |
| 3: OV | Active-low open-drain overvoltage output | Asserts when any supply exceeds OV threshold; deasserts after 25µs - enables fast fault isolation without latching behavior |
| 4: GND | Ground reference | Common return for all analog and digital circuitry; EP must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal and EMI performance |
| 5: MR | Manual reset input | Pulled up to BP via 10µA current source; 1µs minimum pulse width required - supports direct switch connection without external pullup |
| 6: MARGIN | Margin disable input | Holds RESET/OV/WDO state during system-level stress testing; overrides MR if both asserted - enables safe voltage margining without unintended resets |
| 7: WDI | Watchdog timer input | Pulled down to GND via 10µA current sink; detects rising/falling edges - requires µP GPIO toggling at ≥0.625Hz to prevent timeout |
| 8: I.C. | Internal connection | No external connection required - floating pin with no electrical function |
| 9: VCC | Internal power-supply voltage node | Internally derived from highest IN1–IN4 voltage; bypassed with 1µF ceramic capacitor - not for powering external circuitry |
| 10: BP | Bypass voltage for internal logic | +2.55V regulated output; bypassed with 1µF ceramic capacitor - supplies RESET driver and logic core; not for external loads |
| 11: IN6 | Voltage detector input 6 | Monitors UV/OV for adjustable supply (0.557V UV / 0.643V OV thresholds); bypassed with 0.1µF capacitor - supports custom rail monitoring |
| 12: IN5 | Voltage detector input 5 | Monitors UV/OV for adjustable supply (0.557V UV / 0.643V OV thresholds); bypassed with 0.1µF capacitor - extends multirail coverage beyond fixed voltages |
| 13: IN4 | Voltage detector input 4 | Factory-set to monitor adjustable supply (0.557V UV / 0.643V OV); powered via IN1–IN4 or VCC - completes six-rail supervision capability |
| 14: IN3 | Voltage detector input 3 | Factory-set to monitor 1.8V supply (1.670V UV / 1.930V OV); bypassed with 0.1µF capacitor - targets core logic and memory rails |
| 15: IN2 | Voltage detector input 2 | Factory-set to monitor 2.5V supply (2.310V UV / 2.680V OV); supports I/O and analog subsystems - ensures clean power sequencing |
| 16: IN1 | Voltage detector input 1 | Factory-set to monitor 3.3V supply (3.060V UV / 3.540V OV); primary power rail supervisor - critical for CPU and PCIe interface stability |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

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+T | Quad-input version (IN1–IN4 only); identical thresholds, watchdog, and timing specs; lacks IN5/IN6 pins | Suitable for 4-rail systems only; cannot supervise six rails or use IN5/IN6 for adjustable monitoring | Select when system has ≤4 critical rails and board space is constrained - same footprint but fewer inputs |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single-channel 3.3V supervisor with 200ms reset timeout; no OV detection, no watchdog, no adjustable inputs | Requires multiple units to match hex functionality; no overvoltage protection or system-level watchdog capability | Choose only for simple 3.3V-only monitoring where cost-per-rail is prioritized over integration and safety features |
Compared with MAX6888EETE+T, the MAX6887EETE+T adds two adjustable detector inputs enabling six-rail supervision in one device, while TPS3808G33DBVR offers lower cost per channel but requires four separate ICs and external logic to replicate basic functions - increasing BOM count and layout complexity.

FAQ
What are the factory-set undervoltage thresholds for MAX6887EETE+T?
The MAX6887EETE+T has factory-set undervoltage thresholds of 3.060V on IN1, 2.310V on IN2, 1.670V on IN3, and 0.557V on IN4–IN6. These values are specified in Table 1 of the datasheet and reflect ±1.5% accuracy over -40°C to +85°C. The 0.557V thresholds on IN4–IN6 support adjustable monitoring via external resistor dividers for custom supply voltages.
How does the watchdog timer operate in MAX6887EETE+T?
The MAX6887EETE+T watchdog timer operates in two phases: an initial 102.4s timeout after power-up or reset, followed by a 1.6s normal timeout once WDI receives its first valid edge transition. If WDI fails to toggle within the active timeout period, WDO asserts low. Connecting WDO to MR generates an automatic system reset, clearing the watchdog and restarting the timing cycle.
Can MAX6887EETE+T monitor a 1.2V supply?
Yes, the MAX6887EETE+T can monitor a 1.2V supply using IN4, IN5, or IN6 configured as adjustable inputs. With factory-set UV threshold of 0.557V and OV threshold of 0.643V, an external resistor divider scales the 1.2V rail to fall within this detectable range. The design equations in the datasheet allow precise calculation of R1/R2 values to achieve accurate 1.2V supervision.
What is the purpose of the MARGIN input on MAX6887EETE+T?
The MARGIN input on MAX6887EETE+T holds RESET, OV, and WDO in their current asserted or deasserted states during system-level voltage margining tests. When pulled low, it overrides MR and freezes output behavior - allowing engineers to stress-test power supplies beyond nominal ranges without triggering unintended resets or fault signals.
Does MAX6887EETE+T require external pullup resistors on its outputs?
Yes, MAX6887EETE+T requires external pullup resistors on RESET, OV, and WDO because all three are active-low open-drain outputs. Typical values range from 4.7kΩ to 10kΩ, selected based on bus capacitance and rise-time requirements. Pullups must connect to the appropriate logic rail voltage (e.g., 3.3V for a 3.3V system) to ensure proper signal levels.
