Product details
Overview
MAX6323CUT29-T from Maxim Integrated is a push-pull-output microprocessor supervisory circuit with windowed (min/max) watchdog, 2.93V ±2.5% reset threshold, and factory-trimmed fast/slow timeout windows (C = 10–15ms fast, 300–450ms slow). It monitors +2.5V/+3.3V systems in automotive engine control units requiring reliable power-on reset and fault-detection timing integrity.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6323CUT29-T datasheet, MAX6323CUT29-T pinout, MAX6323CUT29-T application, or MAX6323CUT29-T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed RESET validity down to VCC = +1.2V, 23µA typical supply current at 3.3V, 100ms minimum reset timeout, and SOT23-6 package compatibility with high-temperature industrial PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MAX6323CUT29-T implements a dual-window watchdog architecture: fast timeout (tWD1 = 10–15ms) detects premature WDI pulses, while slow timeout (tWD2 = 300–450ms) catches missed pulses-both measured from falling edge of WDI with ≥300ns minimum pulse width. WDPO asserts low for 1ms on fault detection and remains inactive when RESET is asserted.
VCC reset monitoring uses a precision comparator with ±2.5% threshold accuracy over –40°C to +125°C; RESET deasserts only after VCC exceeds 2.93V and remains stable for ≥100ms. MR input features internal 50–85kΩ pullup, 1µs minimum pulse width, and 100ns glitch immunity-enabling direct switch connection without external debounce.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.93V ±2.5% - precisely matches 3.0V rail monitoring with brownout margin |
| Reset Timeout Delay | 100–280ms - ensures µP initialization completes before release |
| Watchdog Fast Timeout | 10–15ms - detects software loops executing too rapidly |
| Watchdog Slow Timeout | 300–450ms - identifies stalled code or missed interrupt servicing |
| Supply Current | 23µA typ at 3.3V - enables always-on supervision in battery-backed systems |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial environments |
| RESET Output Type | Push-pull - eliminates need for external pullup resistor on reset line |
Pinout & Package
MAX6323CUT29-T is housed in a 6-pin SOT23 package (package code U6+1A, outline 21-0058), optimized for space-constrained PCBs with 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 |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all internal circuits and external bypass capacitor (≥500pF) |
| 3 - WDI | Watchdog input | Falling-edge-triggered; resets internal timer and disables WDPO assertion during valid window |
| 4 - VCC | Supply voltage input | Monitored for reset generation; supports 1.2V–5.5V operation with guaranteed RESET down to 1.2V |
| 5 - WDPO | Open-drain watchdog pulse output | Pulses low for 1ms on fast/slow fault; requires external pullup to ≤6V supply |
| 6 - RESET | Active-low push-pull reset output | Asserts low during VCC undervoltage or MR activation; no external pullup needed |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Windowed watchdog | Dual-timing fault detection (fast + slow) prevents false resets from transient noise or clock jitter |
| Debounced MR input | Internal 50–85kΩ pullup and 100ns glitch rejection enable direct switch interface without RC network |
| Low-power operation | 23µA typical ICC at 3.3V allows integration into always-on subsystems without compromising battery life |
| VCC reset down to 1.2V | Guaranteed RESET assertion even as supply collapses-critical for deterministic shutdown sequencing |
| SOT23-6 footprint | Industry-standard 6-pin package enables drop-in replacement and automated assembly compatibility |
Applications
| 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6323CUT26-T | Lower reset threshold (2.63V ±2.5%) with identical watchdog timing and SOT23-6 package | Better suited for 2.5V logic rails; not interchangeable on 3.0V/3.3V systems without validation | Select when supervising 2.5V supplies where tighter margin below nominal rail is required |
| MAX6324CUT29-T | Same reset threshold (2.93V) and watchdog windows, but open-drain RESET output instead of push-pull | Enables bidirectional reset pin interfacing (e.g., Motorola 68HC11) and level-shifting across multiple supplies | Choose when system requires shared reset bus or multi-rail reset coordination |
Compared with MAX6323CUT29-T, MAX6323CUT26-T shifts reset assertion to lower voltage for 2.5V domains, while MAX6324CUT29-T trades push-pull drive for open-drain flexibility-neither offers pin-to-pin compatibility without layout or pullup resistor changes.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6323CUT29-T?
The MAX6323CUT29-T has a nominal reset threshold of 2.93V with ±2.5% accuracy over –40°C to +125°C, corresponding to the "29" suffix per Maxim's ordering nomenclature. This value is laser-trimmed at wafer test and guaranteed across the full operating temperature range, making it suitable for precise monitoring of 3.0V and 3.3V power rails.
Does MAX6323CUT29-T support watchdog timeout configuration after manufacturing?
No, MAX6323CUT29-T does not support post-manufacture watchdog timeout adjustment. Its "C" suffix indicates factory-laser-trimmed fast timeout (10–15ms) and slow timeout (300–450ms) windows. These values are fixed during production and cannot be modified via pins, registers, or external components-designers must select the appropriate variant at order time.
Can MAX6323CUT29-T operate reliably at VCC = 1.2V?
Yes, MAX6323CUT29-T guarantees valid RESET output down to VCC = +1.2V, meaning the push-pull RESET signal remains functional and correctly asserted even as the supply voltage collapses. Below 1.2V, RESET becomes high-impedance, but this behavior is explicitly characterized and documented in the datasheet for safe system-level shutdown design.
What is the function of the WDPO pin on MAX6323CUT29-T?
The WDPO (Watchdog Pulse Output) pin on MAX6323CUT29-T is an open-drain output that pulses low for 1ms upon detection of either a fast watchdog fault (WDI falling edges too close together) or a slow watchdog fault (no WDI edge within the timeout window). WDPO remains inactive while RESET is asserted and requires an external pullup resistor to any supply ≤+6V.
Is MAX6323CUT29-T compatible with AEC-Q100 automotive qualification?
MAX6323CUT29-T itself is not AEC-Q100 qualified; only specific variants like MAX6324HUT44/V+T carry that qualification. However, MAX6323CUT29-T operates across the extended automotive temperature range (–40°C to +125°C) and meets all electrical specifications under those conditions-making it suitable for non-safety-critical automotive subsystems where full AEC-Q100 certification is not mandated.
