Product details
Overview
MAX6323DUT46 from Maxim Integrated is a microprocessor supervisory circuit with windowed (min/max) watchdog, precision +4.63V reset threshold (±2.5%), 15ms fast timeout and 10s slow timeout, push-pull RESET output, and operation from VCC = +1.2V to +5.5V. It monitors power integrity and processor timing in automotive engine control units requiring fail-safe boot and runtime fault detection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6323DUT46 datasheet, MAX6323DUT46 pinout, MAX6323DUT46 application, or MAX6323DUT46 equivalent, key selection criteria include its factory-trimmed 4.63V reset threshold, dual-window watchdog timing (15ms/10s), guaranteed RESET validity down to VCC = +1.2V, SOT23-6 package compatibility, and AEC-Q100-qualified variants for automotive use.
Technical Context
The MAX6323DUT46 implements a min/max watchdog architecture where WDI falling edges must occur within a defined window-faster than 15ms (tWD1) or slower than 10s (tWD2)-to avoid WDPO assertion. Its internal reset comparator guarantees valid low-active RESET output even as VCC decays to +1.2V, enabling robust brownout recovery in noisy automotive environments.
RESET is push-pull (not open-drain), eliminating external pull-up requirements, while WDPO remains open-drain with 1ms pulse width on fault detection. The device uses laser-trimmed thresholds and operates across –40°C to +125°C, supporting extended-temperature embedded control without external calibration.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | +4.63V nominal (±2.5%), ensuring reliable detection of +5.0V supply brownout before µP malfunction |
| Fast Watchdog Timeout | 15ms minimum, preventing false triggers from short software loops while catching rapid execution faults |
| Slow Watchdog Timeout | 10s maximum, detecting stalled firmware or infinite loops without premature system reset |
| Supply Current | 23µA typical at 3.3V, enabling always-on supervision in battery-backed or low-power ECU modules |
| RESET Validity Range | Guaranteed down to VCC = +1.2V, allowing deterministic reset assertion during deep brownout conditions |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C, meeting under-hood automotive thermal requirements without derating |
| Package | 6-pin SOT23, compatible with high-density PCB layouts and automated SMT assembly |
Pinout & Package
MAX6323DUT46 is housed in a 6-pin SOT23 package (package code U6-1), with 1.6mm × 2.9mm footprint and 0.95mm height, optimized for space-constrained automotive and industrial control 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; requires low-inductance connection to minimize noise coupling |
| 3 - WDI | Watchdog input | Falling-edge triggered; resets internal timer; minimum 300ns pulse width required; rejects <100ns noise |
| 4 - VCC | Supply voltage input | Monitored for reset generation; 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 pull-up; active only when RESET is high |
| 6 - RESET | Active-low push-pull reset output | Asserted when VCC < 4.63V or MR low; held ≥100ms after recovery; no external pull-up needed |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Windowed watchdog | Enables detection of both stuck and runaway code by enforcing upper and lower timing bounds on WDI pulses |
| Factory-laser-trimmed thresholds | Eliminates external resistor networks and calibration steps; ensures ±2.5% reset accuracy over temperature |
| Push-pull RESET output | Reduces BOM count and layout complexity by removing need for external pull-up resistor on reset line |
| Debounced MR input | Accepts direct switch connection without RC network; rejects sub-100ns noise, simplifying front-panel reset design |
| VCC = +1.2V RESET validity | Ensures deterministic reset behavior during severe brownout, critical for safety-critical automotive restart sequences |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6324DUT46 | Identical reset threshold and watchdog timing, but open-drain RESET output instead of push-pull | Required when interfacing with bidirectional µP reset pins or level-shifting across multiple supply domains | Select MAX6324DUT46 only if open-drain RESET is necessary; otherwise MAX6323DUT46 reduces component count. |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Fixed 3.3V reset threshold, single-window watchdog (no min/max), 200ms reset timeout, higher 25µA ICC | Suitable for simpler 3.3V systems without need for dual-timing fault detection or 4.63V monitoring | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR only for cost-sensitive 3.3V designs lacking windowed watchdog requirements. |
Compared with MAX6324DUT46 and TPS3808G33DBVR, the MAX6323DUT46 uniquely combines +4.63V precision reset, min/max watchdog enforcement, push-pull RESET, and extended-temperature operation-making it the sole option for AEC-Q100-compliant 5V automotive ECUs requiring deterministic fault response.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6323DUT46?
The MAX6323DUT46 has a nominal reset threshold of +4.63V, with guaranteed tolerance of ±2.5% over –40°C to +125°C. This value is laser-trimmed at wafer test and specified as 4.50V (min), 4.63V (typ), and 4.75V (max) in the Electrical Characteristics table. The "46" suffix in MAX6323DUT46 explicitly denotes this 4.63V threshold variant.
Does MAX6323DUT46 support windowed (min/max) watchdog functionality?
Yes, MAX6323DUT46 implements true min/max watchdog supervision: it triggers WDPO on WDI falling edges occurring either faster than 15ms (fast timeout) or slower than 10s (slow timeout). This dual-bound detection distinguishes it from single-window watchdogs and prevents both stuck-loop and runaway-code failures in safety-critical firmware.
Is MAX6323DUT46 pin-compatible with other MAX6323 variants?
Yes, all MAX6323 variants-including MAX6323DUT46-share identical 6-pin SOT23 pinout, electrical interface, and functional block diagram. Only the factory-trimmed reset threshold (4.63V) and watchdog timing (15ms/10s) differ; no PCB layout changes are required when substituting within the MAX6323 family.
What is the minimum VCC voltage at which MAX6323DUT46 guarantees valid RESET output?
MAX6323DUT46 guarantees valid active-low RESET output down to VCC = +1.2V, as confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics sections. Below this voltage, the RESET driver ceases sinking current and enters high-impedance state-ensuring predictable behavior during deep brownout recovery sequences.
Can MAX6323DUT46 be used in automotive applications requiring AEC-Q100 qualification?
While MAX6323DUT46 itself is not AEC-Q100 qualified, the functionally identical MAX6324HUT44/V+T is explicitly AEC-Q100 qualified. For automotive designs requiring formal qualification, engineers should select the /V+T automotive-grade variant; MAX6323DUT46 remains suitable for non-automotive industrial and medical applications operating across –40°C to +125°C.
