Product details
Overview
MAX6323CUT29+ from Maxim Integrated is a microprocessor supervisory circuit with windowed (min/max) watchdog, precision reset monitoring at 2.93V ±2.5%, push-pull active-low RESET output, and guaranteed operation down to VCC = +1.2V. It monitors power integrity and processor timing in automotive engine control units, industrial PLCs, and medical infusion pumps.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6323CUT29+ datasheet, MAX6323CUT29+ pinout, MAX6323CUT29+ application, or MAX6323CUT29+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its factory-trimmed 300ms/450ms slow/fast watchdog timeout window, 23µA typical supply current, -40°C to +125°C extended temperature range, and SOT23-6 package compatibility with space-constrained embedded designs.
Technical Context
The MAX6323CUT29+ implements a dual-threshold watchdog that detects both fast faults (WDI falling edges <10ms apart) and slow faults (no WDI edge >300ms), with WDPO pulsed low for 1ms upon fault detection. Its reset comparator guarantees valid RESET assertion down to VCC = +1.2V, enabling reliable brownout recovery in low-voltage systems.
It features a debounced manual reset input (MR) with 1µs minimum pulse width and 100ns glitch immunity, internally pulled up to VCC. The push-pull RESET output drives logic directly without external pullup, supporting interface with microcontrollers requiring active-low reset signals with defined voltage levels.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.93V ±2.5% - precisely monitors +3.3V rails with margin for tolerance and drift |
| Watchdog Slow Timeout | 300ms (min) / 450ms (max) - defines maximum allowable interval between WDI pulses |
| Watchdog Fast Timeout | 10ms (min) / 15ms (max) - defines minimum allowable interval between WDI pulses |
| Supply Current | 23µA typical - enables always-on supervision in battery-backed or low-power systems |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial ambient environments |
| Reset Timeout Delay | 100ms minimum - ensures stable µP initialization after power-up or brownout recovery |
| VCC Range | 1.2V to 5.5V - supports operation during deep brownout and across multiple supply domains |
Pinout & Package
MAX6323CUT29+ is housed in a 6-pin SOT23 package (package code U6-1), footprint-compatible with industry-standard 0.95mm pitch land pattern 90-0175. The device uses BiCMOS process technology and contains 1371 transistors.
| 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 |
| 2 GND | Ground reference | Return path for all internal circuits; requires low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| 3 WDI | Watchdog input | Falling-edge-triggered; resets internal timer; 300ns min pulse width; 100ns glitch immunity |
| 4 VCC | Supply voltage input | Monitored rail; bypass with ≥500pF capacitor near pin for noise immunity |
| 5 WDPO | Open-drain watchdog pulse output | Pulses low for 1ms on fast/slow fault; only active when RESET is high; requires external pullup |
| 6 RESET | Active-low push-pull reset output | Asserted when VCC < 2.93V or MR low; held for ≥100ms after recovery; drives CMOS loads directly |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Windowed watchdog | Dual-threshold timing detection prevents false resets from transient software stalls or clock jitter |
| Factory-trimmed thresholds | 2.93V reset and 10ms/300ms watchdog windows laser-trimmed for ±2.5% accuracy over temperature |
| Low-voltage reset validity | RESET remains functional down to VCC = +1.2V, ensuring deterministic behavior during deep brownout |
| Debounced MR input | No external RC network required; internal filtering rejects 100ns noise spikes on manual reset line |
| Push-pull RESET output | Eliminates need for external pullup resistor; provides defined logic-low and logic-high states |
Applications
| Engine Control Unit (ECU) | Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6324CUT29+ | 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 supply domains | Select MAX6324CUT29+ only if open-drain reset is needed; otherwise MAX6323CUT29+ simplifies layout with no pullup resistor |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Fixed 3.3V reset threshold; single-window watchdog (no min/max detection); 35µA supply current | Lacks windowed watchdog capability; suitable only for basic power-monitoring without timing validation | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR only for cost-sensitive non-safety applications where fast/slow fault discrimination is unnecessary |
Compared with MAX6324CUT29+, the MAX6323CUT29+ offers direct-drive reset capability without external components, while TPS3808G33DBVR trades windowed watchdog functionality for lower unit cost and simpler timing architecture-neither provides the same combination of precision 2.93V monitoring, dual-threshold fault detection, and guaranteed sub-1.2V reset validity.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6323CUT29+ and how is it trimmed?
The MAX6323CUT29+ has a nominal reset threshold of 2.93V with ±2.5% accuracy over -40°C to +125°C, achieved via laser trimming during manufacturing. This value corresponds to the "29" suffix in the part number and is validated per the Reset Threshold Range table in the datasheet, with min/max limits of 2.85V and 3.00V respectively.
Does MAX6323CUT29+ support windowed watchdog functionality, and what are its timeout values?
Yes, MAX6323CUT29+ implements true windowed (min/max) watchdog supervision. Its factory-trimmed timeouts are 10ms (min) / 15ms (max) for fast faults and 300ms (min) / 450ms (max) for slow faults, as specified for the "C" watchdog suffix in the Watchdog Timeout table.
Can MAX6323CUT29+ operate reliably when VCC drops below 2.0V?
Yes, MAX6323CUT29+ guarantees valid RESET output down to VCC = +1.2V, making it suitable for deep brownout scenarios. Below +1.2V, the RESET output becomes high-impedance, but the device continues to monitor and assert RESET as long as VCC remains ≥1.2V.
What is the function of the WDPO pin on MAX6323CUT29+, and how is it used?
The WDPO pin on MAX6323CUT29+ is an open-drain watchdog pulse output that asserts low for 1ms upon detection of either a fast or slow watchdog fault. It operates independently of RESET and requires an external pullup resistor; it is commonly routed to an NMI input for diagnostic logging before full system reset.
Is MAX6323CUT29+ qualified for automotive applications, and what packaging does it use?
MAX6323CUT29+ is not explicitly AEC-Q100 qualified (that status applies to variants like MAX6324HUT44/V+T), but it operates over -40°C to +125°C and is supplied in lead-free 6-pin SOT23 (U6-1) packaging with RoHS-compliant finish, supporting automotive-grade thermal and reliability requirements in non-safety-critical subsystems.
