Product details
Overview
MAX6323BUT46-T from Maxim Integrated is a microprocessor supervisory circuit with windowed (min/max) watchdog, 4.63V ±2.5% reset threshold, push-pull active-low RESET output, and 100ms minimum reset timeout - designed for automotive and industrial systems requiring reliable power-on/brownout detection and processor fault monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6323BUT46-T datasheet, MAX6323BUT46-T pinout, MAX6323BUT46-T application, or MAX6323BUT46-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its factory-trimmed 4.63V reset voltage, B-suffix 10–15ms fast/100–150ms slow watchdog timeout window, guaranteed RESET validity down to VCC = +1.2V, and AEC-Q100-compatible operation across –40°C to +125°C.
Technical Context
The MAX6323BUT46-T implements a dual-window watchdog that detects both fast faults (WDI falling edges <10ms apart) and slow faults (no WDI edge >100ms), with WDPO pulsed low for 1ms on fault detection. Its internal reset comparator guarantees monotonic assertion/deassertion with 20µs response to VCC transients.
This variant uses laser-trimmed circuitry to fix the reset threshold at 4.63V (nominal) and the watchdog timeout window to B-suffix (fast: 10–15ms, slow: 100–150ms). It features debounced MR input, 23µA typical supply current, and push-pull RESET capable of sourcing/sinking 500µA/1.2mA respectively.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.63V ±2.5% - precisely monitors +5.0V supply rails with guaranteed trip point across temperature. |
| Watchdog Window (B) | Fast timeout: 10–15ms; Slow timeout: 100–150ms - enables detection of both stuck-loop and hung-processor conditions. |
| RESET Timeout Delay | 100–280ms - ensures µP completes power-up initialization before release, preventing premature execution. |
| Supply Current | 23µA typical at 3.3V - supports always-on monitoring in battery-backed or low-power embedded systems. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and harsh industrial environments. |
| VCC Range | 1.2V to 5.5V - RESET remains valid down to 1.2V, enabling robust brownout detection even during deep supply sag. |
| RESET Output Type | Push-pull - eliminates need for external pullup resistor; drives logic-low directly without external components. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6323BUT46-T is housed in a 6-pin SOT23 package (package code U6+1A, outline 21-0058), with 1.3mm × 2.2mm footprint and 0.95mm height - optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts in automotive ECUs and industrial controllers.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - MR | Active-low manual reset input | Internally pulled up; accepts direct switch connection; asserts RESET for ≥100ms after rising edge; rejects 100ns glitches. |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for all internal circuits; must be connected to system ground plane for noise immunity. |
| 3 - WDI | Watchdog input | Falling-edge-triggered; resets internal timer; requires ≥300ns pulse width; immune to 100ns noise spikes. |
| 4 - VCC | Supply voltage input | Monitored rail input; requires ≥500pF bypass capacitor near pin for transient immunity and stable reset timing. |
| 5 - WDPO | Open-drain watchdog pulse output | Pulses low for 1ms on fast/slow fault detection; requires external pullup; only active when RESET is high. |
| 6 - RESET | Active-low push-pull reset output | Drives low during VCC undervoltage or MR assertion; releases after 100ms delay; no external pullup needed. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Windowed watchdog | Detects both too-fast (e.g., runaway loop) and too-slow (e.g., stalled execution) WDI transitions - critical for safety-critical firmware validation. |
| Laser-trimmed precision | ±2.5% reset threshold accuracy and factory-set B-window timeouts eliminate external calibration and reduce BOM count. |
| Guaranteed RESET down to VCC = +1.2V | Ensures deterministic reset behavior during deep brownout events where other supervisors may release prematurely. |
| Debounced MR input | Accepts mechanical switch inputs directly without RC network - simplifies front-panel reset design and reduces component count. |
| Low quiescent current | 23µA typical supply draw enables continuous supervision in energy-sensitive applications like telematics or sensor nodes. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6324BUT46-T | Same reset threshold (4.63V) and B-window timeout, but open-drain RESET output requiring external pullup. | Suitable for bidirectional µP reset pins (e.g., Motorola 68HC11) or level-shifting across multiple supply domains. | Select when interfacing with µPs needing open-drain reset arbitration or multi-rail reset coordination. |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Fixed 3.08V reset threshold, no windowed watchdog - only basic power-on/brownout reset with adjustable delay. | Lacks min/max watchdog capability; limited to single-threshold supply monitoring in non-safety-critical applications. | Choose only if windowed watchdog functionality is unnecessary and 3.3V rail supervision suffices. |
Compared with MAX6324BUT46-T, the MAX6323BUT46-T eliminates pullup resistors and simplifies layout; versus TPS3808G33DBVR, it adds critical dual-window fault detection essential for functional safety compliance in automotive and medical systems.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6323BUT46-T?
The MAX6323BUT46-T has a nominal reset threshold of 4.63V, with guaranteed tolerance of ±2.5% (4.50V to 4.75V) over the full –40°C to +125°C temperature range. This value is laser-trimmed at wafer test and applies specifically to the UT46 suffix variant, making it suitable for precise monitoring of +5.0V power rails.
Does the MAX6323BUT46-T support windowed watchdog functionality?
Yes, the MAX6323BUT46-T implements a true min/max (windowed) watchdog. Its B-suffix configuration provides a fast timeout window of 10–15ms and a slow timeout window of 100–150ms. A watchdog fault is triggered if the WDI input falls outside either boundary - detecting both runaway loops and processor hangs.
What is the RESET output type of the MAX6323BUT46-T and why does it matter?
The MAX6323BUT46-T features a push-pull RESET output, unlike the open-drain version in the MAX6324 series. This means it actively drives both high and low states without requiring an external pullup resistor - reducing component count, simplifying PCB layout, and ensuring faster rise/fall times in noise-sensitive applications.
Can the MAX6323BUT46-T operate reliably during severe supply sags?
Yes, the MAX6323BUT46-T guarantees valid RESET assertion down to VCC = +1.2V. Below this voltage, the RESET output becomes high-impedance, but the device continues asserting RESET until VCC recovers above the 4.63V threshold and holds for ≥100ms - ensuring robust brownout recovery in automotive cold-crank scenarios.
Is the MAX6323BUT46-T qualified for automotive use?
The MAX6323BUT46-T operates across –40°C to +125°C and meets AEC-Q100 stress testing requirements per the MAX6324HUT44/V+T qualification referenced in the datasheet. While the "/V" suffix denotes formal automotive qualification, the MAX6323BUT46-T shares identical process, packaging, and characterization - widely deployed in automotive ECUs and infotainment systems.
