Product details
Overview
MAX6323AUT46+T from Maxim Integrated is a push-pull-output microprocessor supervisory circuit with windowed (min/max) watchdog, 4.63V ±2.5% reset threshold, 100ms minimum reset timeout, and operation from +1.2V to +5.5V supply. It monitors VCC and WDI timing in automotive and industrial control systems to prevent runaway code execution.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6323AUT46+T datasheet, MAX6323AUT46+T pinout, MAX6323AUT46+T application, or MAX6323AUT46+T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed RESET validity down to VCC = +1.2V, factory-trimmed 4.63V reset threshold, 1ms WDPO fault pulse width, and SOT23-6 packaging for space-constrained embedded designs.
Technical Context
The MAX6323AUT46+T implements a dual-window watchdog that detects both fast faults (WDI falling edges <1.5ms apart) and slow faults (no WDI edge >10ms), using laser-trimmed timing with ±2.5% accuracy across –40°C to +125°C. Its VCC monitor guarantees valid RESET assertion down to +1.2V, enabling reliable brownout detection in low-voltage microcontroller systems.
It features a debounced manual reset input (MR) with 1μs minimum pulse width and 100ns glitch immunity, and a push-pull RESET output capable of sourcing 500μA at VCC ≥3.15V. The WDPO open-drain output pulses low for 1ms upon fault detection and remains inactive while RESET is asserted.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.63V nominal (4.50V–4.75V range), ±2.5% accuracy over temperature - ensures precise power-on/brownout detection for +5V systems. |
| Reset Timeout Delay | 100ms minimum after VCC rise and MR deassertion - provides sufficient hold time for microcontroller initialization. |
| Supply Voltage Range | +1.2V to +5.5V - supports operation during deep brownout and compatibility with 1.2V–5V logic domains. |
| Watchdog Fast Timeout | 1.5ms minimum (A-suffix), factory-trimmed - detects premature WDI pulses indicating software lockup or clock instability. |
| Watchdog Slow Timeout | 10ms minimum (A-suffix), factory-trimmed - identifies missed WDI pulses caused by infinite loops or halted execution. |
| Supply Current | 23µA typical at VCC = 2.5V/3.3V - enables ultra-low-power monitoring in battery-backed or energy-constrained systems. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial motor drives, and medical equipment environments. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 6-pin SOT23 (U6+1A outline, JEDEC MO-178AA), RoHS-compliant lead-free (+T suffix), thermal resistance θJA = 115°C/W on multilayer board.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - MR | Active-low manual reset input | Internally pulled up; asserts RESET and clears watchdog timer when low ≥1μs; immune to 100ns glitches. |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all internal circuits; must be connected directly to system ground plane. |
| 3 - WDI | Watchdog input | Falling-edge-triggered; resets internal watchdog timer; requires ≥300ns pulse width and 0.3×VCC–0.7×VCC logic levels. |
| 4 - VCC | Supply voltage input | Monitored for reset generation; bypass with ≥500pF capacitor near pin to suppress transients. |
| 5 - WDPO | Open-drain watchdog pulse output | Pulses low for 1ms on fast/slow fault detection; requires external pullup to ≤+6V; inactive while RESET is asserted. |
| 6 - RESET | Active-low push-pull reset output | Asserted low when VCC <4.63V or MR low; holds low ≥100ms after recovery; no external pullup required. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Windowed watchdog | Detects both too-fast (1.5ms min) and too-slow (10ms min) WDI transitions - prevents false resets from jitter while catching true hangs. |
| Laser-trimmed precision | ±2.5% reset threshold tolerance and stable timing over –40°C to +125°C - eliminates need for external calibration in harsh environments. |
| Low-voltage reset guarantee | Valid RESET output down to VCC = +1.2V - ensures deterministic reset behavior during deep brownout before MCU core fails. |
| Debounced MR input | No external RC network needed; 1μs minimum pulse width and 100ns glitch rejection - simplifies front-panel or diagnostic reset implementation. |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 23µA typical at 2.5V/3.3V - extends battery life in always-on monitoring applications without sacrificing response speed. |
Applications
| Automotive Engine Control Unit (ECU) | Industrial PLC I/O Module |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6324AUT46+T | Open-drain RESET output instead of push-pull; identical reset threshold, watchdog timing, and package. | Required when interfacing with bidirectional MCU reset pins (e.g., Motorola 68HC11) or level-shifting to alternate supply rails. | Select MAX6324AUT46+T only if open-drain RESET is needed; otherwise MAX6323AUT46+T reduces BOM count by eliminating pullup resistor. |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Fixed 3.3V reset threshold; no windowed watchdog (only single timeout); 350ms reset delay; SOT23-6 package. | Suitable for simpler 3.3V-only systems without min/max timing validation; lacks WDPO fault signaling capability. | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR for cost-sensitive 3.3V applications where windowed watchdog is unnecessary; MAX6323AUT46+T adds critical fault discrimination. |
Compared with MAX6324AUT46+T, the MAX6323AUT46+T eliminates external pullup components and simplifies layout; versus TPS3808G33DBVR, it delivers superior system-level diagnostics via dual-window watchdog and 4.63V precision monitoring for +5V infrastructure.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6323AUT46+T?
The MAX6323AUT46+T has a nominal reset threshold of 4.63V, with guaranteed range of 4.50V to 4.75V at ±2.5% accuracy over –40°C to +125°C. This value is laser-trimmed at wafer test and applies specifically to the "46" suffix variant, making MAX6323AUT46+T suitable for precise monitoring of +5V power rails in automotive and industrial applications.
Does MAX6323AUT46+T support windowed watchdog functionality?
Yes, MAX6323AUT46+T implements a true min/max (windowed) watchdog: it detects fast faults when WDI falling edges occur less than 1.5ms apart, and slow faults when no WDI edge occurs for more than 10ms. This dual-window architecture distinguishes it from single-timeout supervisors and is factory-trimmed for the "A" suffix, ensuring accurate timing without external components.
Can MAX6323AUT46+T operate reliably below 2.0V supply voltage?
Yes, MAX6323AUT46+T guarantees valid RESET output down to VCC = +1.2V, enabling robust brownout detection even during severe supply sag. Its supply current remains at 23µA typical at 2.5V/3.3V, and its internal comparators and timers remain functional throughout the full 1.2V–5.5V operating range - a key advantage for low-voltage embedded systems.
What is the function of the WDPO pin on MAX6323AUT46+T?
The WDPO (Watchdog Pulse Output) pin on MAX6323AUT46+T is an open-drain output that pulses low for 1ms upon detection of either a fast or slow watchdog fault. It operates independently of the RESET signal and remains inactive while RESET is asserted. WDPO requires an external pullup resistor to any supply ≤+6V and is used to trigger NMI interrupts, fault logging, or WDPO-to-MR loopback for guaranteed system restart.
Is MAX6323AUT46+T pin-compatible with other members of the MAX6323/MAX6324 family?
Yes, MAX6323AUT46+T shares identical 6-pin SOT23 pinout and electrical interface with all MAX6323 and MAX6324 variants, including MAX6324AUT46+T and MAX6323CUT29. Differences are limited to internal trim (reset threshold and watchdog timeout) and RESET output type (push-pull vs. open-drain), allowing drop-in replacement within same suffix group when matching voltage and timing requirements.
