Product details
Overview
MAX6320PUK29CY-T from Maxim Integrated is a 5-pin SOT23 microprocessor supervisory circuit with active-low open-drain reset output, 2.93V factory-trimmed reset threshold, 140ms minimum reset timeout, and 1.6s typical watchdog timeout. It monitors VCC supply integrity, provides manual reset input (MR), and asserts reset during power-up, brownout, or software hang conditions in embedded control systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6320PUK29CY-T datasheet, MAX6320PUK29CY-T pinout, MAX6320PUK29CY-T application, or MAX6320PUK29CY-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its open-drain RESET output requiring external pullup, guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 1V, immunity to short negative VCC transients (<4µs at 100mV under VTH), and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
The MAX6320PUK29CY-T integrates a precision voltage detector, watchdog timer, and manual reset logic in a single die. Its reset generator triggers when VCC falls below 2.93V ±2.5% over –40°C to +125°C, with hysteresis of 3mV, and holds RESET low for ≥140ms after VCC recovers. The watchdog clears on any WDI edge and times out after 1.6s if unattended.
It features an open-drain NMOS RESET output (sinks current only), compatible with mixed-voltage systems up to 6V via external pullup, and a manual reset input (MR) with 52kΩ internal pullup, 100ns glitch rejection, and 1.5µs minimum pulse width at full temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.93V ±2.5% over –40°C to +125°C - sets precise brownout detection point for 3V systems |
| Reset Timeout Period | 140ms minimum - ensures sufficient hold time for microprocessor initialization |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6s typical - balances fault detection responsiveness with software execution margin |
| Supply Current | 5µA typical at 3.6V - enables ultra-low-power operation in battery-backed systems |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - supports industrial and automotive under-hood applications |
| RESET Output Type | Active-low open-drain - allows level-shifting and wired-OR reset bus configurations |
| AEC-Q100 Qualified | Grade 3 (–40°C to +125°C) - validated for automotive electronics reliability requirements |
Pinout & Package
MAX6320PUK29CY-T is housed in a 5-pin SOT23 package (package code U5+2A, outline 21-0057), measuring 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm, with gull-wing leads and RoHS-compliant lead-free finish (+T suffix).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET | Active-low open-drain output - requires external pullup resistor (e.g., 10kΩ) to system supply up to 6V |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference - must be connected to system ground plane for stable reset assertion |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input - internally pulled up to VCC via 52kΩ; debounced by 100ns glitch filter |
| 4 | WDI | Watchdog input - edge-sensitive; resets internal timer on rising or falling transition; disable by leaving floating |
| 5 | VCC | Supply voltage input - powers device and monitored rail; valid from 1.0V to 5.5V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Open-drain RESET output | Supports multi-supply reset buses and level translation without additional logic |
| Factory-trimmed 2.93V threshold | Eliminates external resistor divider; guarantees accuracy across full temperature range |
| 140ms reset timeout | Meets JEDEC JESD78 requirement for microprocessor power-on reset duration |
| 1.6s watchdog period | Provides robust software hang detection while accommodating long interrupt service routines |
| Guaranteed operation to VCC = 1V | Ensures valid reset signaling during deep brownout or battery discharge conditions |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Controllers | Automotive Body Control Modules |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Supervises 3.3V microcontroller power rail in programmable logic controllers exposed to wide ambient temperature swings and EMI-rich factory environments.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6321HPUK29CY-T | Active-high push/pull RESET output; same 2.93V threshold, 140ms timeout, 1.6s watchdog | Requires logic inversion or MCU reset pin compatibility with active-high assertion | Select when target microcontroller accepts active-high reset or board layout prohibits external pullup resistor |
| TLV809E29DBZR | No watchdog or manual reset; 2.93V threshold, 140ms timeout, open-drain output; lower supply current (0.5µA) | Lacks runtime fault detection capability - suitable only for power-monitor-only use cases | Choose for cost-sensitive, static-supply applications where software hang detection is unnecessary |
Compared with MAX6321HPUK29CY-T and TLV809E29DBZR, the MAX6320PUK29CY-T uniquely combines open-drain flexibility, integrated watchdog, and manual reset in a single AEC-Q100-qualified device - making it optimal for automotive and industrial systems requiring both power integrity and runtime supervision.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6320PUK29CY-T and how does it vary with temperature?
The MAX6320PUK29CY-T has a factory-trimmed nominal reset threshold of 2.93V at +25°C, with tolerance of ±2.5% over the full operating range of –40°C to +125°C. Its temperature coefficient is 40ppm/°C, resulting in maximum deviation of ±0.125V across temperature. This ensures reliable brownout detection in 3V systems without external calibration.
Does MAX6320PUK29CY-T require an external pullup resistor on the RESET pin, and what value is recommended?
Yes, MAX6320PUK29CY-T requires an external pullup resistor on the RESET pin because it features an open-drain NMOS output. A 10kΩ resistor to the target supply rail (up to 6V) is recommended for most applications, ensuring logic-high levels while limiting sink current to ≤3.2mA at 4.5V - per the device's VOL specification.
Can MAX6320PUK29CY-T operate reliably when the VCC supply drops below 2.0V?
Yes, MAX6320PUK29CY-T is guaranteed to assert valid reset states down to VCC = 1.0V, including proper RESET output voltage levels (VOL ≤ 0.4V at ISINK = 3.2mA) and functional watchdog/MR inputs. This makes it suitable for battery-powered systems experiencing deep discharge, unlike many supervisors that cease operation below 1.8V.
How is the watchdog timer in MAX6320PUK29CY-T disabled, and what happens when WDI is left unconnected?
The watchdog timer in MAX6320PUK29CY-T is disabled by leaving the WDI pin unconnected or three-stating the driving source. When floating, the internal watchdog counter generates low-high-low pulses at 7/8 of the nominal timeout period (1.4s), automatically servicing the timer and preventing reset assertion - enabling full watchdog functionality to be omitted without hardware modification.
Is MAX6320PUK29CY-T qualified for automotive applications, and what grade does it meet?
Yes, MAX6320PUK29CY-T is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications. It meets Grade 3 requirements (–40°C to +125°C junction temperature), with testing covering accelerated environmental stress, ESD, latch-up, and reliability validation - confirming suitability for body electronics, infotainment, and ADAS subsystems outside the engine compartment.
