Product details
Overview
MAX6323BUT29-T from Maxim Integrated is a microprocessor supervisory circuit with windowed (min/max) watchdog, push-pull RESET output, and factory-trimmed 2.93V reset threshold (±2.5% accuracy). It monitors +2.5V to +5.0V supplies, guarantees valid RESET down to VCC = +1.2V, and operates across –40°C to +125°C for automotive and industrial control systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6323BUT29-T datasheet, MAX6323BUT29-T pinout, MAX6323BUT29-T application, or MAX6323BUT29-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 15ms fast watchdog timeout (B-suffix), 300ms slow watchdog timeout (C-suffix), 100ms minimum reset timeout delay, 23µA typical supply current, and SOT23-6 package compatibility with space-constrained embedded designs.
Technical Context
The MAX6323BUT29-T implements a dual-window watchdog architecture: it detects both fast faults (WDI falling edges <15ms apart) and slow faults (no WDI edge >300ms), triggering a 1ms open-drain WDPO pulse. Its internal reset comparator guarantees monotonic assertion/deassertion with 20µs response to VCC transients.
RESET is push-pull active-low, asserted when VCC falls below 2.93V (typ) or MR is pulled low, and held for ≥100ms after VCC rises above threshold and MR releases. The device uses BiCMOS process (1371 transistors), supports debounced MR input with 1µs minimum pulse width, and features guaranteed operation down to VCC = +1.2V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.93V (typ), ±2.5% accuracy - ensures reliable brownout detection for 3.0V/3.3V systems |
| Fast Watchdog Timeout | 15ms (max) - detects software loops executing too rapidly |
| Slow Watchdog Timeout | 300ms (max) - identifies stalled or hung processor execution |
| Reset Timeout Delay | 100ms (min) - provides sufficient hold time for µP initialization sequences |
| Supply Current | 23µA (typ at VCC = 2.5V/3.3V) - enables always-on monitoring in battery-backed systems |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial environments |
| VCC Range | 1.2V to 5.5V - supports valid RESET assertion even during deep brownout conditions |
Pinout & Package
MAX6323BUT29-T is housed in a 6-pin SOT23 package (package code U6+1A, outline 21-0058), with 1.6mm × 2.9mm footprint and 0.95mm height - suitable for high-density PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - MR | Active-low manual reset input | Internally pulled up; asserts RESET and clears watchdog on falling edge; 1µs min pulse width required |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all internal circuits; must be low-impedance connection |
| 3 - WDI | Watchdog input | Falling-edge triggered; resets internal timer; 300ns min pulse width; rejects 100ns glitches |
| 4 - VCC | Supply voltage input | Monitored for reset generation; bypass with ≥500pF capacitor near pin for noise immunity |
| 5 - WDPO | Open-drain watchdog pulse output | Pulses low for 1ms (typ) on fast/slow fault; requires external pullup to ≤+6V |
| 6 - RESET | Active-low push-pull reset output | Drives µP reset pin directly; no external pullup needed; sinks current down to VCC = +1.2V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Windowed watchdog timer | Detects both premature (fast) and delayed (slow) WDI pulses - prevents false resets from jitter while catching hung code |
| Laser-trimmed reset threshold | 2.93V ±2.5% - eliminates need for external resistor divider in 3.0V system power monitoring |
| Guaranteed RESET validity to VCC = +1.2V | Ensures deterministic reset state during deep brownout - critical for fail-safe automotive ECUs |
| Debounced manual reset input | Internal 85kΩ pullup and 100ns glitch rejection - allows direct switch connection without RC network |
| Low quiescent current | 23µA typical - extends battery life in always-on monitoring applications such as telematics modules |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6324BUT29-T | Open-drain RESET output instead of push-pull; identical watchdog and reset thresholds | Required when interfacing with bidirectional µP reset pins or level-shifting across multiple supply domains | Select MAX6324BUT29-T only if external pullup on RESET is acceptable and multi-supply reset coordination is needed |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Fixed 3.3V reset threshold; no windowed watchdog - only basic timeout watchdog; 35µA ICC (higher than MAX6323BUT29-T) | Suitable for simpler systems where only power-on/brownout reset and single-interval watchdog are required | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR only when windowed watchdog functionality is unnecessary and 3.3V-only threshold suffices |
Compared with MAX6324BUT29-T, the MAX6323BUT29-T offers direct-drive RESET capability without external components; compared with TPS3808G33DBVR, it delivers superior fault coverage via min/max watchdog detection and tighter 2.93V threshold accuracy for 3.0V systems.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6323BUT29-T and how is it trimmed?
The MAX6323BUT29-T has a nominal reset threshold of 2.93V, with guaranteed tolerance of ±2.5% over –40°C to +125°C. This value is laser-trimmed at wafer test and corresponds to the "29" suffix in the part number, referencing the 2.85V to 3.00V range in the Reset Threshold Range table. The trimming ensures no external components are needed for accurate 3.0V system monitoring.
Does MAX6323BUT29-T support windowed watchdog functionality, and what are its timeout values?
Yes, MAX6323BUT29-T implements true windowed (min/max) watchdog supervision. The "B" in the part number specifies a fast timeout of 15ms (max) and the "C" (inferred from standard version listing MAX6323CUT29) sets the slow timeout at 300ms (max). These factory-trimmed windows detect both abnormally rapid and excessively delayed WDI pulses - critical for validating real-time software execution integrity.
What is the RESET output configuration of MAX6323BUT29-T, and how does it differ from MAX6324 variants?
MAX6323BUT29-T features a push-pull active-low RESET output, capable of directly driving µP reset pins without an external pullup resistor. In contrast, MAX6324BUT29-T uses an open-drain RESET output requiring an external pullup. This makes MAX6323BUT29-T ideal for single-supply systems where simplicity and reduced BOM count are priorities.
Can MAX6323BUT29-T operate reliably during deep brownout conditions?
Yes, MAX6323BUT29-T guarantees valid RESET assertion down to VCC = +1.2V - meaning the output remains functional and well-defined even as the supply collapses. This behavior is explicitly confirmed in the datasheet's Electrical Characteristics table and is essential for fail-safe shutdown sequencing in automotive and medical applications where partial power loss must trigger controlled reset.
What package type and footprint does MAX6323BUT29-T use, and are there thermal considerations?
MAX6323BUT29-T is supplied in a 6-pin SOT23 package (outline 21-0058, land pattern 90-0175), measuring 1.6mm × 2.9mm with 0.95mm height. Its thermal resistance is θJA = 115°C/W on multilayer board. For continuous operation at +125°C ambient, power dissipation must remain below 696mW (derated above +70°C), which is easily met given its 23µA typical supply current.
