Product details
Overview
MAX6323HUT46+T from Maxim Integrated is a microprocessor supervisory IC with windowed (min/max) watchdog timer, push-pull active-low RESET output, and precision +4.63V reset threshold (±2.5% accuracy). It monitors VCC down to +1.2V, asserts RESET for ≥100ms after power-up, and operates across -40°C to +125°C in automotive and industrial control systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6323HUT46+T datasheet, MAX6323HUT46+T pinout, MAX6323HUT46+T application, or MAX6323HUT46+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its factory-trimmed 719ms fast watchdog timeout (H-suffix), 1.3s slow timeout, debounced manual reset input, low 23µA typical supply current, and guaranteed RESET validity at VCC = +1.2V.
Technical Context
The MAX6323HUT46+T implements a dual-window watchdog architecture: it detects both fast faults (WDI falling edges <719ms apart) and slow faults (no WDI edge >1.3s), pulsing WDPO low for 1ms per fault. Its internal reset comparator guarantees monotonic behavior with ±2.5% threshold accuracy over temperature.
VCC monitoring uses a precision bandgap reference and hysteresis-free comparator; RESET remains asserted until VCC exceeds 4.63V and holds for ≥100ms post-threshold crossing. The MR input features internal 85kΩ pullup, 1µs minimum pulse width, and 100ns glitch immunity - enabling direct switch interface without external components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | +4.63V nominal (4.50V–4.75V range), ±2.5% accuracy ensures reliable brownout detection for +5V systems |
| Watchdog Fast Timeout | 719ms (H-suffix), defines minimum allowable WDI pulse interval to avoid false fast-fault triggers |
| Watchdog Slow Timeout | 1.3s (H-suffix), sets maximum allowed time between WDI falling edges before WDPO fault pulse |
| RESET Assertion Delay | ≥100ms after VCC rise above threshold, guarantees µP initialization completes before release |
| Supply Current | 23µA typical at VCC = 2.5V/3.3V, enables battery-backed or ultra-low-power embedded operation |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C, qualified for under-hood automotive and harsh industrial environments |
| VCC Range | +1.2V to +5.5V, supports valid RESET assertion even during deep brownout conditions |
Pinout & Package
MAX6323HUT46+T is housed in a 6-pin SOT23 package (package code U6+1A, outline 21-0058), with 1.3mm × 2.2mm footprint and 0.95mm height - suitable for space-constrained PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - MR | Active-low manual reset input | Internally pulled up to VCC (85kΩ); asserts RESET and clears watchdog on falling edge; requires ≥1µs pulse width |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Return path for all internal circuitry; must be connected directly to system ground plane |
| 3 - WDI | Watchdog input | Falling-edge-triggered; resets internal watchdog timer; 300ns minimum pulse width required |
| 4 - VCC | Supply voltage input | Power source and monitored rail; bypass with ≥500pF capacitor near pin for noise immunity |
| 5 - WDPO | Open-drain watchdog pulse output | Pulses low for 1ms on fast/slow fault detection; requires external pullup to ≤+6V supply |
| 6 - RESET | Push-pull active-low reset output | Drives low during fault/brownout; no external pullup needed; sinks current down to VCC = +1.2V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Windowed watchdog timer | Detects both premature (fast) and delayed (slow) WDI transitions - critical for safety-critical firmware execution validation |
| Factory-trimmed thresholds | Fixed 4.63V reset and H-suffix (719ms/1.3s) watchdog windows eliminate external component tuning and calibration |
| Debounced MR input | Internal 100ns glitch rejection and 1µs minimum pulse width allow direct mechanical switch connection without RC network |
| Low-voltage RESET validity | Guaranteed RESET assertion down to VCC = +1.2V prevents undefined µP state during deep brownout recovery |
| Extended temperature operation | -40°C to +125°C rating supports deployment in engine control units, motor drives, and industrial PLCs |
Applications
| Automotive Engine Control Unit (ECU) | Industrial Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6324HUT46+T | Open-drain RESET output instead of push-pull; identical reset threshold, watchdog timing, and pinout | Required when interfacing with bidirectional µP reset pins (e.g., Motorola 68HC11) or level-shifting across multiple supply domains | Select MAX6324HUT46+T only if open-drain drive is needed; otherwise MAX6323HUT46+T simplifies design with no pullup resistor |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Fixed 3.3V reset threshold, single-window watchdog (not min/max), 200ms reset timeout, 1.8V–6.0V VCC range | Suitable for cost-sensitive 3.3V systems without stringent dual-window watchdog requirements | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR only for non-safety-critical 3.3V applications where windowed watchdog functionality is unnecessary |
Compared with MAX6323HUT46+T, MAX6324HUT46+T offers identical supervision capability but requires an external RESET pullup, while TPS3808G33DBVR lacks min/max watchdog detection and has lower reset threshold accuracy - making MAX6323HUT46+T the only option meeting AEC-Q100-aligned automotive and SIL-2 medical timing integrity requirements.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6323HUT46+T?
The MAX6323HUT46+T has a nominal reset threshold of +4.63V, with guaranteed limits of +4.50V (minimum) and +4.75V (maximum) across -40°C to +125°C. This 4.63V specification matches standard +5V supply rails and provides ±2.5% accuracy for reliable brownout detection in automotive and industrial applications.
How does the windowed watchdog function in MAX6323HUT46+T?
The MAX6323HUT46+T implements a true min/max watchdog: it triggers WDPO on either fast faults (WDI falling edges <719ms apart) or slow faults (no WDI edge >1.3s). This dual-window detection prevents both premature resets from noisy timing and dangerous hangs from stalled firmware - a capability not found in standard single-window supervisors.
Is MAX6323HUT46+T compatible with 3.3V microcontrollers?
Yes, MAX6323HUT46+T operates from VCC = +1.2V to +5.5V and interfaces directly with 3.3V µPs. Its RESET output is push-pull and valid down to VCC = +1.2V, while WDI and MR inputs accept 0.3×VCC to 0.7×VCC logic thresholds - ensuring robust signal compatibility across mixed-voltage systems.
What is the purpose of the WDPO pin on MAX6323HUT46+T?
The WDPO (watchdog pulse output) pin on MAX6323HUT46+T provides a 1ms open-drain pulse upon detection of any watchdog fault - independent of the main RESET signal. This allows diagnostic logging, NMI triggering, or WDPO-to-MR loopback for controlled reset sequencing without losing the original fault signature.
Does MAX6323HUT46+T require external passive components for basic operation?
No, MAX6323HUT46+T requires no external resistors or capacitors for core functionality: MR is internally pulled up, RESET is push-pull, and VCC bypassing needs only a ≥500pF capacitor (recommended but not strictly mandatory for noise immunity). This reduces BOM count and improves reliability in space-constrained designs.
