General Description
The MAX6730–MAX6735 single-/dual-/triple-voltage
microprocessor (µP) supervisors feature a watchdog
timer and manual reset capability. The MAX6730–
MAX6735 offer factory-set reset thresholds for monitor-
ing voltages from +0.9V to +5V and an adjustable reset
input for monitoring voltages down to +0.63V. The com-
bination of these features significantly improves system
reliability and accuracy when compared to separate
ICs or discrete components.
The active-low reset output asserts and remains asserted
for the reset timeout period after all the monitored volt-
ages exceed their respective thresholds. Multiple factory-
set reset threshold combinations reduce the number of
external components required. The MAX6730/MAX6731
monitor a single fixed voltage, the MAX6732/MAX6733
monitor two fixed voltages, and the MAX6734/MAX6735
monitor two fixed voltages and one adjustable voltage. All
devices are offered with six minimum reset timeout peri-
ods ranging from 1.1ms to 1120ms.
The MAX6730–MAX6735 feature a watchdog timer with
an independent watchdog output. The watchdog timer
prevents system lockup during code execution errors.
A watchdog startup delay of 54s after reset asserts
allows system initialization during power-up. The watch-
dog operates in normal mode with a 1.68s delay after
initialization. The MAX6730/MAX6732/MAX6734 provide
an active-low, open-drain watchdog output. The
MAX6731/MAX6733/MAX6735 provide an active-low,
push-pull watchdog output.
Other features include a manual reset input (MAX6730/
MAX6731/MAX6734/MAX6735) and push-pull reset out-
put (MAX6731/MAX6733/MAX6735) or open-drain reset
output (MAX6730/MAX6732/MAX6734). The MAX6730–
MAX6733 are offered in a tiny SOT23-6 package. The
MAX6734/MAX6735 are offered in a space-saving
SOT23-8 package. All devices are fully specified over
the extended -40°C to +85°C temperature range.

Ordering Information
*
Insert the threshold level suffixes for VCC1 and VCC2 (Table 1)
after “UT” or “KA.” For the MAX6730/MAX6731, insert only the
VCC1 threshold suffix after the “UT.” Insert the reset timeout
delay (Table 2) after “D” to complete the part number. For exam-
ple, the MAX6732UTLTD3-T provides a VCC1 threshold of
+4.625V, a VCC2 threshold of +3.075V, and a 210ms reset time-
out period. Sample stock is generally held on standard versions
only (see the Standard Versions table). Standard versions have
an order increment requirement of 2500 pieces. Nonstandard
versions have an order increment requirement of 10,000 pieces.
