Product details
Overview
MAX6323CUT46+T from Maxim Integrated is a push-pull-output microprocessor supervisory circuit with windowed (min/max) watchdog, 4.63V ±2.5% reset threshold, 300ms slow watchdog timeout, and guaranteed RESET validity down to VCC = +1.2V. It monitors +5.0V power rails in automotive engine control units, industrial PLCs, and medical infusion pumps.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6323CUT46+T datasheet, MAX6323CUT46+T pinout, MAX6323CUT46+T application, or MAX6323CUT46+T equivalent, key selection criteria include factory-trimmed 300ms slow watchdog window, 4.63V reset threshold accuracy, push-pull RESET output drive capability, and AEC-Q100-compatible operation from –40°C to +125°C.
Technical Context
The MAX6323CUT46+T implements a dual-window watchdog that detects both fast faults (WDI falling edges <15ms apart) and slow faults (no WDI edge >300ms), with WDPO pulsed low for 1ms upon fault detection. Its internal reset comparator guarantees valid active-low RESET assertion down to VCC = +1.2V, independent of supply decay rate.
It features debounced manual reset input (MR) with 1µs minimum pulse width and 100ns glitch immunity, plus a precision voltage monitor laser-trimmed to 4.63V nominal threshold (±2.5% over –40°C to +125°C). The push-pull RESET output drives logic loads directly without external pullup.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.63V ±2.5% - ensures reliable brownout detection on +5.0V systems with margin against ripple and drift |
| Slow Watchdog Timeout | 300ms (typ) - factory-trimmed window for detecting software hangs in safety-critical loops |
| Fast Watchdog Timeout | 15ms (max) - detects runaway code execution with tight timing constraints |
| Supply Current | 23µA (typ at 3V) - enables always-on monitoring in battery-backed or low-power embedded systems |
| RESET Validity Range | VCC ≥ +1.2V - guarantees defined logic state during power-down sequences before MCU shutdown |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - supports under-hood automotive and industrial environments without derating |
| Reset Timeout Delay | 100ms (min) - provides sufficient hold time for full processor initialization after power-up or MR assertion |
Pinout & Package
MAX6323CUT46+T is housed in a 6-pin SOT23 package (package code U6+1A), with 1.6mm × 2.9mm footprint and 0.95mm height, suitable for space-constrained PCB layouts in automotive and industrial modules.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - MR | Active-low manual reset input | Internally pulled up; asserts RESET and clears watchdog timer when driven low ≥1µs; immune to 100ns glitches |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Common 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 window; requires ≥300ns pulse width and rejects sub-100ns noise |
| 4 - VCC | Supply voltage input | Monitored power rail (1.2V–5.5V); 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 | Drives CMOS/TTL loads directly; no external pullup needed; remains asserted ≥100ms after VCC/MR recovery |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Windowed (min/max) watchdog | Detects both premature and delayed WDI pulses-critical for validating deterministic real-time software execution |
| Laser-trimmed 4.63V reset threshold | ±2.5% accuracy over full temperature range eliminates need for external resistor dividers in +5V systems |
| Push-pull RESET output | Eliminates external pullup resistor, reducing BOM count and layout complexity in high-volume automotive modules |
| Guaranteed RESET down to VCC = +1.2V | Ensures clean, monotonic reset deassertion during power ramp-down-prevents metastability in downstream logic |
| Debounced MR input with 100ns immunity | Enables direct switch connection without RC network, simplifying front-panel reset implementation in industrial HMI |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6324CUT46+T | Open-drain RESET output instead of push-pull; identical watchdog and reset thresholds | Required when interfacing with bidirectional MCU reset pins or level-shifting across multiple supply domains | Select MAX6324CUT46+T only if open-drain drive and external pullup are acceptable in your reset topology |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Fixed 3.3V reset threshold; no windowed watchdog; 200ms reset timeout; 2.9µA quiescent current | Suitable for simpler, non-safety-critical 3.3V systems where min/max watchdog validation is not required | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR only for cost-sensitive, single-threshold applications lacking deterministic software timing requirements |

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6323CUT46+T?
The MAX6323CUT46+T has a nominal reset threshold of 4.63V with ±2.5% accuracy over –40°C to +125°C, corresponding to the "46" suffix per Maxim's ordering convention. This value is laser-trimmed at wafer test and guaranteed in the Electrical Characteristics table under VTH for MAX632_ _UT46 variants.
Does MAX6323CUT46+T support windowed watchdog functionality?
Yes, MAX6323CUT46+T implements a true min/max (windowed) watchdog: it detects fast faults (WDI falling edges <15ms apart) and slow faults (no WDI edge >300ms), as specified in the Watchdog Timeout table for "CUT" suffix devices. WDPO pulses low for 1ms on either fault type.
What is the function of the MR pin on MAX6323CUT46+T?
The MR (Manual Reset) pin on MAX6323CUT46+T is an active-low input that forces RESET assertion and clears the internal watchdog timer when pulled low. It features internal pullup, 1µs minimum pulse width requirement, and 100ns glitch immunity-allowing direct switch connection without external components.
Can MAX6323CUT46+T operate down to 1.2V supply voltage?
Yes, MAX6323CUT46+T guarantees valid active-low RESET output down to VCC = +1.2V, meaning the output remains logically defined and capable of driving downstream logic even as the supply decays. Below +1.2V, RESET becomes high-impedance.
What package type and footprint does MAX6323CUT46+T use?
MAX6323CUT46+T uses a 6-pin SOT23 package (outline 21-0058, land pattern 90-0175), measuring 1.6mm × 2.9mm with 0.95mm height. The "+T" suffix confirms lead-free RoHS-compliant packaging with matte tin finish.
