Product details
Overview
MAX6323GUT46+T from Maxim Integrated is a push-pull-output microprocessor supervisory circuit with windowed (min/max) watchdog, 4.63V ±2.5% reset threshold, 100ms minimum reset timeout, and operation from 1.2V to 5.5V supply. It monitors +5.0V power rails in automotive engine control units and industrial PLCs, asserting active-low RESET on VCC brownout or manual reset.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6323GUT46+T datasheet, MAX6323GUT46+T pinout, MAX6323GUT46+T application, or MAX6323GUT46+T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed RESET validity down to VCC = +1.2V, factory-trimmed 719ms/1.3s slow/fast watchdog timeout (suffix G), debounced MR input, and AEC-Q100-compatible SOT23-6 packaging for high-reliability embedded systems.
Technical Context
The MAX6323GUT46+T implements a dual-window watchdog that detects both fast faults (WDI falling edges <719ms apart) and slow faults (no WDI edge >1.3s), with WDPO pulsed low for 1ms upon fault detection. Its precision voltage monitor uses laser-trimmed comparators to guarantee ±2.5% accuracy over –40°C to +125°C.
RESET assertion is synchronized to VCC crossing the 4.63V threshold with 20µs propagation delay, and remains asserted ≥100ms after recovery. The internal MR pullup (50–85kΩ) eliminates external components, and WDI accepts pulses as narrow as 300ns with 100ns glitch immunity at VCC = 2.5V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.63V ±2.5% - precisely matches +5.0V supply monitoring with guaranteed trip point across temperature. |
| Reset Timeout Delay | 100–280ms - ensures stable µP initialization after power-up/brownout before releasing reset. | Watchdog Slow Timeout | 1.3s (typ) - factory-trimmed for applications requiring long software execution windows without false triggers. |
| Watchdog Fast Timeout | 719ms (typ) - detects premature WDI pulses indicating runaway code or clock faults. |
| Supply Current | 23µA (typ at 3V) - enables always-on supervision in battery-backed or low-power industrial nodes. |
| Operating Voltage Range | 1.2V to 5.5V - guarantees functional RESET output even during deep brownout conditions. |
| Output Type | Push-pull RESET - eliminates need for external pullup resistor in standard +5V system designs. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6323GUT46+T is housed in a RoHS-compliant 6-pin SOT23 package (package code U6+1A), with 1.6mm × 2.9mm footprint and 1.1mm height, suitable for high-density automotive PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - MR | Active-low manual reset input | Internally pulled up (50–85kΩ); requires ≥1µs low pulse to assert RESET; immune to 100ns glitches. |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Common return for all analog and digital functions; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane. |
| 3 - WDI | Watchdog input | Falling-edge-triggered; clears internal timer; accepts 300ns min pulse width; VIH = 0.75×VCC. |
| 4 - VCC | Supply voltage input | Monitored rail input; bypass with ≥500pF capacitor near pin to suppress transients and ensure clean reset timing. |
| 5 - WDPO | Open-drain watchdog pulse output | Pulses low for 1ms on fast/slow fault; requires external pullup to ≤+6V; inactive when RESET is asserted. |
| 6 - RESET | Active-low push-pull reset output | Drives low to <0.4V @ 1.2mA; sources high to ≥0.8×VCC; no external pullup needed in +5V systems. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Windowed watchdog | Dual-threshold timing detection prevents false resets from jitter while catching both stuck-loop and hung-code failures. |
| Guaranteed RESET down to VCC = +1.2V | Ensures deterministic reset state even during severe brownout-critical for fail-safe automotive ECU behavior. |
| Debounced MR input | Eliminates need for external RC network or Schmitt trigger; supports direct switch connection with noise immunity. |
| Laser-trimmed voltage thresholds | ±2.5% accuracy over full temperature range avoids recalibration and enables single-BOM support across vehicle platforms. |
| Extended temperature range | –40°C to +125°C operation validated for under-hood automotive and industrial control environments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6324GUT46+T | Open-drain RESET output instead of push-pull; identical watchdog, reset threshold, and timing specs. | Required when interfacing with bidirectional µP reset pins (e.g., Motorola 68HC11) or level-shifting across multiple supply domains. | Select MAX6324GUT46+T only if open-drain functionality is needed; otherwise MAX6323GUT46+T simplifies design with no pullup required. |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Fixed 3.3V reset threshold; no windowed watchdog; 200ms reset timeout; 1.4µA quiescent current. | Suitable for low-power 3.3V systems without complex timing supervision needs-lacks dual-window fault detection capability. | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR only for cost-sensitive 3.3V applications where windowed watchdog is unnecessary. |
Compared with MAX6324GUT46+T and TPS3808G33DBVR, the MAX6323GUT46+T uniquely delivers push-pull reset drive, 4.63V precision monitoring for +5V rails, and factory-trimmed 719ms/1.3s windowed watchdog-enabling fail-safe supervision in automotive and industrial control where deterministic reset behavior and dual-fault detection are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6323GUT46+T?
The MAX6323GUT46+T has a nominal reset threshold of 4.63V with ±2.5% accuracy over –40°C to +125°C, corresponding to the "46" suffix in its part number. This value is laser-trimmed at wafer test and guaranteed across the full operating temperature range, making it suitable for precise +5.0V supply monitoring in automotive and industrial applications where tolerance margins are tight.
Does MAX6323GUT46+T support windowed watchdog functionality?
Yes, the MAX6323GUT46+T implements a true min/max (windowed) watchdog using the "G" suffix configuration, providing factory-trimmed fast timeout of 719ms (min) and slow timeout of 1.3s (max). This allows detection of both premature WDI pulses (indicating runaway loops) and missing pulses (indicating hung code), unlike basic timeout-only supervisors.
What is the function of the WDPO pin on MAX6323GUT46+T?
The WDPO (watchdog pulse output) pin on MAX6323GUT46+T is an open-drain output that pulses low for 1ms (typical) upon detection of either a fast or slow watchdog fault. It operates independently of the RESET signal and remains inactive while RESET is asserted, enabling diagnostic logging or NMI triggering without interfering with system reset sequencing.
Can MAX6323GUT46+T operate with supply voltages below 2.5V?
Yes, the MAX6323GUT46+T operates from 1.2V to 5.5V and guarantees valid RESET output down to VCC = +1.2V. Below this voltage, the RESET output becomes high-impedance, but the device continues to monitor VCC and will reassert RESET once VCC rises above the 4.63V threshold and remains there for ≥100ms.
Is MAX6323GUT46+T qualified for automotive applications?
The MAX6323GUT46+T is not explicitly AEC-Q100 qualified-only the /V-suffixed variants (e.g., MAX6324HUT44/V+T) carry that qualification. However, it shares the same die, SOT23-6 package, and –40°C to +125°C operating range, and is widely used in automotive subsystems where full AEC-Q100 certification is not mandated by the OEM tier-1 specification.
