The MAX6760TATZD3 comes in an 8-WDFN exposed-pad package (8-TDFN-EP, 3x3 mm). Surface-mount assembly with a standard reflow profile for lead-free solder; the 3x3 mm footprint fits a compact automotive ECU layout where board space is tight.
What the dual-voltage monitoring means for the BOM
In an automotive ECU, the 3.3 V rail typically powers the MCU I/O and memory, while the 2.5 V rail feeds the core or a secondary transceiver. One part covers both, saving a second supervisor and its associated passives. The active-low, open-drain reset output lets multiple supervisors share a common reset bus — pull it up to the MCU's I/O voltage with an external resistor. The 100 ms minimum reset timeout holds the processor in reset long enough for both rails to stabilise after power-up, preventing brown-out boot failures.
Automotive temperature grade and qualification
This is the full automotive temperature band — under-hood, engine bay, or cabin-mounted modules that see 105°C on a hot day still have margin. The AEC-Q100 certification means the part passed the reliability stress tests (HTOL, temperature cycling, ESD) required for production automotive programs.
