Product details
Overview
MAX6324AUT31+T from Maxim Integrated is a microprocessor supervisory circuit with windowed (min/max) watchdog, open-drain RESET output, and factory-trimmed 3.08V reset threshold (±2.5% accuracy). It monitors +3.3V power supplies in automotive and industrial control systems, asserts RESET low on VCC drop or manual reset, and guarantees valid RESET down to VCC = +1.2V.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6324AUT31+T datasheet, MAX6324AUT31+T pinout, MAX6324AUT31+T application, or MAX6324AUT31+T equivalent, key selection factors include its 3.00–3.15V reset threshold range, 15ms fast/300ms slow watchdog timeout options (suffix 'A'), 23µA typical supply current, and SOT23-6 open-drain interface compatibility with bidirectional µP reset pins.
Technical Context
The MAX6324AUT31+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 reset comparator guarantees monotonic behavior across -40°C to +125°C and maintains valid output down to VCC = +1.2V.
It features a debounced manual reset input (MR) with 1µs minimum pulse width and 100ns glitch immunity, internally pulled up to VCC. The open-drain RESET output requires an external pullup resistor and supports level-shifting across supply domains up to +6V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 3.00V to 3.15V (nominal 3.08V, ±2.5% accuracy over temperature) |
| Watchdog Fast Timeout | 15ms (factory-trimmed option 'A'; detects WDI pulses too close together) |
| Watchdog Slow Timeout | 300ms (factory-trimmed option 'C'; detects missing WDI pulses) |
| Supply Current | 23µA typical at VCC = 2.5V/3.3V; enables ultra-low-power embedded monitoring |
| RESET Assertion Delay | ≥100ms after VCC rises above threshold and MR deasserts; ensures stable µP startup |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C; qualified for under-hood automotive and harsh industrial environments |
| VCC Range | 1.2V to 5.5V; RESET remains valid down to 1.2V, critical for brownout recovery |
Pinout & Package
MAX6324AUT31+T is housed in a 6-pin SOT23 package (package code U6+1A), footprint compatible with JEDEC MO-178AA, thermal resistance θJA = 115°C/W on multilayer board.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - MR | Active-low manual reset input | Internally pulled up; asserts RESET and clears watchdog timer when low ≥1µs; immune to 100ns glitches |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all internal circuitry and external bypass capacitors (≥500pF on VCC) |
| 3 - WDI | Watchdog input | Falling-edge triggered; resets internal timer; requires ≥300ns pulse width; ignored during RESET/WDPO assertion |
| 4 - VCC | Supply voltage input | Monitored for reset generation; supports 1.2V–5.5V operation; bypass with ≥500pF capacitor for noise immunity |
| 5 - WDPO | Open-drain watchdog pulse output | Pulsed low for 1ms on fast/slow fault detection; requires external pullup; active only when RESET is high |
| 6 - RESET | Active-low open-drain reset output | Asserted when VCC < VTH or MR low; held ≥100ms after recovery; requires external pullup to any supply ≤+6V |
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 precision reset | 3.08V threshold with ±2.5% tolerance across -40°C to +125°C eliminates external resistor calibration |
| Open-drain RESET & WDPO | Enables direct interfacing with bidirectional µP reset pins (e.g., Motorola 68HC11) and multi-supply level shifting |
| Debounced MR input | Internal pullup and 100ns glitch rejection allow direct switch connection without external RC network |
| Low-power operation | 23µA typical ICC supports always-on monitoring in battery-backed or energy-constrained systems |
| Guaranteed reset validity | RESET remains functional down to VCC = +1.2V-ensures deterministic behavior during deep brownout conditions |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6324HUT31+T | Same 3.08V reset threshold but H-suffix watchdog: 719ms fast / 1.3s slow timeout | Suitable for longer-loop applications (e.g., HVAC controllers); not interchangeable without firmware timing update | Select when extended watchdog windows are required; verify WDI pulse interval compliance |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Fixed 3.3V reset threshold, no windowed watchdog (standard timeout only), 2.5µA quiescent current | Lacks min/max watchdog capability; used where simple power-good monitoring suffices | Choose for ultra-low-power, non-safety-critical applications without complex firmware timing validation needs |
Compared with MAX6324AUT31+T, MAX6324HUT31+T extends watchdog timing for slower control loops but requires matching firmware intervals, while TPS3808G33DBVR reduces power consumption by 90% but sacrifices windowed fault detection-making it unsuitable for ASIL-B or SIL-2 systems requiring dual-fault coverage.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6324AUT31+T?
The MAX6324AUT31+T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 3.00V (min), 3.08V (typ), and 3.15V (max) at -40°C to +125°C, with ±2.5% accuracy. This corresponds to the '31' suffix in the part number and is optimized for monitoring +3.3V power rails in automotive and industrial systems.
Does MAX6324AUT31+T support windowed watchdog functionality?
Yes, MAX6324AUT31+T implements a true min/max (windowed) watchdog: it detects both fast faults (WDI falling edges closer than 15ms) and slow faults (no WDI edge longer than 300ms), per its 'A' and 'C' watchdog suffixes. This dual-window capability distinguishes it from standard timeout-only supervisors.
Can MAX6324AUT31+T be used with a 5V microcontroller reset pin?
Yes, MAX6324AUT31+T's open-drain RESET output supports level shifting: connect the external pullup resistor to +5V (or any supply up to +6V), while VCC is powered from +3.3V. This allows clean reset assertion across voltage domains without level translators.
What is the minimum VCC voltage at which MAX6324AUT31+T guarantees valid RESET output?
MAX6324AUT31+T guarantees valid RESET output down to VCC = +1.2V. Below this, the internal output stage cannot sink current reliably. This specification ensures deterministic reset behavior during deep brownout conditions common in automotive stop-start systems.
How does the manual reset (MR) input behave on MAX6324AUT31+T?
The MR input on MAX6324AUT31+T is active-low, internally pulled up to VCC, and requires ≥1µs low pulse width to assert RESET. It is debounced with 100ns glitch immunity, allowing direct switch connection without external components. After MR release, RESET remains asserted for ≥100ms.
