Product details
Overview
MAX6323FUT46+ 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 factory-trimmed fast/slow watchdog timeout (719ms/1.3s). It operates from 1.2V to 5.5V supply and guarantees valid RESET down to VCC = +1.2V, serving as a system integrity monitor in automotive engine control units.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6323FUT46+ datasheet, MAX6323FUT46+ pinout, MAX6323FUT46+ application, or MAX6323FUT46+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100-compatible operation over –40°C to +125°C, 23µA typical supply current, 100ms minimum reset timeout, and SOT23-6 package compatibility with space-constrained embedded control designs.
Technical Context
The MAX6323FUT46+ implements a dual-window watchdog architecture: fast timeout (719ms min) detects premature WDI pulses, while slow timeout (1.3s max) identifies missing pulses-both measured from falling edge of WDI with ≥300ns pulse width. WDPO asserts a 1ms open-drain pulse on fault detection, independent of RESET status.
VCC monitoring uses a precision comparator with ±2.5% accuracy across –40°C to +125°C; RESET remains asserted for ≥100ms after VCC rises above 4.63V and MR deasserts. The push-pull RESET output drives logic directly without external pullup, supporting reliable power-on/brownout reset in noisy industrial environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.63V ±2.5% - precisely monitors +5.0V rail with guaranteed assertion below nominal voltage |
| Watchdog Fast Timeout | 719ms (min) - detects software loops executing too rapidly or clock faults causing excessive WDI frequency |
| Watchdog Slow Timeout | 1.3s (max) - identifies stalled firmware or processor lockup where WDI pulses cease entirely |
| Supply Current | 23µA typ at 3.3V - enables always-on supervision in battery-backed or low-power automotive modules |
| Reset Timeout Delay | 100ms (min) - ensures µP completes full initialization before release from reset state |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial control applications |
| VCC Range | 1.2V to 5.5V - maintains functional RESET assertion even during deep brownout conditions |
Pinout & Package
MAX6323FUT46+ is housed in a 6-pin SOT23 package (package code U6+1A), with 1.6mm × 2.9mm footprint and 0.95mm height, suitable for high-density 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 pulled low ≥1µs; debounced against 100ns glitches |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all internal circuits; requires low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling into reset comparator |
| 3 - WDI | Watchdog input | Falling-edge-triggered; resets internal watchdog timer; accepts 300ns minimum pulse width; VIH = 0.75×VCC, VIL = 0.8V |
| 4 - VCC | Supply voltage input | Monitored rail input; bypass with ≥500pF capacitor near pin to suppress transients; absolute max = +6.0V |
| 5 - WDPO | Open-drain watchdog pulse output | Pulses low for 1ms on fast/slow fault detection; requires external pullup to ≤+6V; inactive when RESET is asserted |
| 6 - RESET | Active-low push-pull reset output | Drives CMOS/TTL loads directly; VOH ≥0.8×VCC, VOL ≤0.4V at 500µA sink; no external pullup required |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Windowed watchdog timer | Simultaneous fast (719ms) and slow (1.3s) timeout windows detect both runaway and stalled code execution |
| Guaranteed reset validity to VCC = +1.2V | Ensures deterministic reset behavior during deep brownout, preventing undefined µP states in failing power conditions |
| Debounced manual reset input | MR rejects 100ns transients and requires only 1µs low pulse-enables direct switch interface without RC network |
| Low quiescent current | 23µA typical consumption allows continuous supervision in always-on automotive subsystems without battery drain |
| Factory-laser-trimmed thresholds | Eliminates external resistor networks; 4.63V reset and 719ms/1.3s watchdog windows are set at wafer level for production consistency |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6324FUT46+ | Identical reset threshold (4.63V) and watchdog timeouts (719ms/1.3s), but open-drain RESET output requiring external pullup | Suitable for systems with bidirectional µP reset pins or multi-rail level-shifting requirements | Select MAX6324FUT46+ only when open-drain RESET is needed for bus sharing or voltage translation |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Fixed 3.3V reset threshold, no windowed watchdog (single timeout), 35µA supply current, same SOT23-6 package | Limited to 3.3V systems; lacks min/max watchdog capability for advanced firmware validation | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR only for cost-sensitive 3.3V applications where windowed watchdog is unnecessary |
Compared with MAX6324FUT46+, the MAX6323FUT46+ offers direct-drive push-pull RESET-reducing BOM count and layout complexity-while TPS3808G33DBVR trades watchdog sophistication for lower cost and simpler integration in fixed-voltage systems.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6323FUT46+ and how is it trimmed?
The MAX6323FUT46+ has a nominal reset threshold of 4.63V with ±2.5% accuracy over –40°C to +125°C. This value is laser-trimmed at wafer level during manufacturing, eliminating the need for external resistive dividers and ensuring consistent performance across production lots without calibration.
Does MAX6323FUT46+ support windowed watchdog functionality, and what are its timeout values?
Yes, MAX6323FUT46+ implements true windowed (min/max) watchdog supervision. Its fast timeout is 719ms (minimum interval between WDI falling edges), and its slow timeout is 1.3s (maximum allowable interval). These values are factory-set and specified in the Watchdog Timeout table of the datasheet.
What is the RESET output type of MAX6323FUT46+, and does it require an external pullup resistor?
MAX6323FUT46+ features a push-pull active-low RESET output. It does not require an external pullup resistor-VOH reaches ≥0.8×VCC and VOL stays ≤0.4V at 500µA sink, enabling direct drive of CMOS/TTL inputs in automotive and industrial control applications.
How does MAX6323FUT46+ behave when VCC drops below 1.2V, and why is this important?
MAX6323FUT46+ guarantees valid RESET assertion down to VCC = +1.2V. Below this voltage, the RESET output becomes high-impedance. This specification ensures deterministic reset behavior during deep brownout events-critical for automotive ECUs and medical devices where uncontrolled µP states must be avoided even during severe supply collapse.
What package type and footprint does MAX6323FUT46+ use, and is it RoHS-compliant?
MAX6323FUT46+ is supplied in a 6-pin SOT23 package (outline 21-0058, land pattern 90-0175) with 1.6mm × 2.9mm body size. The "+" suffix confirms lead-free, RoHS-compliant construction per JEDEC J-STD-020 reflow standards, with peak soldering temperature of +260°C.
