Product details
Overview
MAX6324DUT29-T from Maxim Integrated is a microprocessor supervisory IC with windowed (min/max) watchdog, open-drain RESET output, and factory-trimmed 2.93V reset threshold (±2.5% accuracy), guaranteed valid down to VCC = +1.2V. It monitors +2.5V/+3.3V systems, asserts RESET on power failure or manual reset, and pulses WDPO for watchdog faults in automotive and industrial control applications.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6324DUT29-T datasheet, MAX6324DUT29-T pinout, MAX6324DUT29-T application, or MAX6324DUT29-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 15ms fast / 10s slow watchdog timeout window (D-suffix), open-drain RESET compatibility with bidirectional μP reset pins, and AEC-Q100-qualified variants for automotive use.
Technical Context
The MAX6324DUT29-T implements a dual-threshold windowed watchdog timer: it detects both fast faults (WDI falling edges <15ms apart) and slow faults (no WDI edge >10s), with WDPO pulsed low for 1ms upon fault detection. Its internal reset comparator guarantees valid RESET assertion down to VCC = +1.2V, supporting brownout recovery in low-voltage embedded systems.
It features a debounced manual reset input (MR) with 1μs minimum pulse width and 100ns glitch immunity, and uses laser-trimmed thresholds for ±2.5% accuracy across –40°C to +125°C. The open-drain RESET output requires an external pullup and supports level-shifting across multiple supply domains.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.93V nominal (2.85V–3.00V range), ±2.5% accuracy over temperature - ensures precise brownout detection for 3.0V/3.3V rails |
| Watchdog Fast Timeout | 15ms (min), factory-trimmed D-suffix - rejects spurious WDI pulses while detecting stuck-loop execution |
| Watchdog Slow Timeout | 10s (max), D-suffix - detects prolonged processor hang or clock failure in safety-critical systems |
| RESET Assertion Delay | ≥100ms after VCC rise & MR deassertion - provides stable reset hold time for μP initialization |
| Supply Current | 23µA typical at 3.3V - enables always-on monitoring in battery-backed or low-power industrial nodes |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and harsh industrial environments |
| VCC Range | 1.2V to 5.5V - supports operation during deep brownout and ensures RESET validity even near power collapse |
Pinout & Package
MAX6324DUT29-T is housed in a 6-pin SOT23 package (package code U6+1A, outline 21-0058), surface-mount compatible with standard reflow profiles including lead-free (+260°C).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - MR | Active-low manual reset input | Internally pulled up; asserts RESET and clears watchdog on falling edge; 1μs min pulse width required |
| 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; 300ns min pulse width; 100ns glitch immunity |
| 4 - VCC | Supply voltage input | Monitored rail; powers device; absolute max 6.0V; operates down to 1.2V with valid RESET |
| 5 - WDPO | Open-drain watchdog pulse output | Pulses low for 1ms on fast/slow fault; requires external pullup; active only when RESET is high |
| 6 - RESET | Active-low open-drain reset output | Asserted on VCC drop below 2.93V or MR low; requires external pullup; interfaces with bidirectional μP reset pins |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Windowed watchdog timer | Dual-threshold detection (15ms fast / 10s slow) prevents false resets from transient noise while catching both stuck and stalled code |
| Laser-trimmed precision reset | 2.93V threshold with ±2.5% tolerance over –40°C to +125°C - eliminates external resistor networks for accurate 3.0V/3.3V rail monitoring |
| Open-drain RESET & WDPO | Enables level-shifting across supply domains and direct connection to bidirectional μP reset pins (e.g., Motorola 68HC11) without logic conflicts |
| Guaranteed RESET down to VCC = +1.2V | Ensures deterministic system state during brownout recovery - critical for nonvolatile memory write integrity and safe shutdown sequences |
| Debounced MR input | Internal pullup and 100ns glitch rejection allow direct switch connection without external RC network - reduces BOM count and board space |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6324HUT29-T | Same 2.93V reset threshold, but H-suffix watchdog: 719ms fast / 1.3s slow timeout - narrower timing window than D-suffix | Better suited for applications requiring faster fault detection (e.g., real-time motor control), less tolerant of long software loops | Select MAX6324HUT29-T if system software has tighter execution timing constraints and requires sub-second watchdog response. |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Fixed 3.08V reset threshold (±0.5%), no windowed watchdog - only basic power-on/brownout reset and simple watchdog | Lacks min/max watchdog; suitable for cost-sensitive designs where only single-threshold reset and basic timeout are needed | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR for simpler systems without need for dual-threshold fault discrimination - lower cost, smaller footprint. |
Compared with MAX6324HUT29-T and TPS3808G33DBVR, the MAX6324DUT29-T uniquely balances long-interval fault detection (10s slow timeout) with robust noise immunity, making it optimal for applications where extended software hangs must be distinguished from transient glitches without sacrificing brownout precision.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6324DUT29-T and how is it trimmed?
The MAX6324DUT29-T has a nominal reset threshold of 2.93V, with a guaranteed range of 2.85V to 3.00V (±2.5% accuracy) over –40°C to +125°C. This value is set by factory laser trimming of on-chip resistors, eliminating the need for external components and ensuring consistent performance across temperature and voltage variations in the MAX6324DUT29-T.
How does the windowed watchdog function in MAX6324DUT29-T differ from a standard watchdog timer?
The MAX6324DUT29-T implements a true windowed (min/max) watchdog: it triggers WDPO on both fast faults (WDI falling edges <15ms apart) and slow faults (no WDI edge >10s). Unlike standard single-timer watchdogs, this prevents false timeouts from transient noise while reliably catching both stuck and excessively delayed code execution - a core capability of the MAX6324DUT29-T.
Can MAX6324DUT29-T drive a microcontroller reset pin that is bidirectional, such as on the Motorola 68HC11?
Yes. The MAX6324DUT29-T's open-drain RESET output is explicitly designed for bidirectional μP reset pins. By connecting a single pullup resistor between RESET and the μP's supply rail, either the MAX6324DUT29-T or the μP can assert reset - enabling coordinated system recovery without additional logic. This interoperability is a documented feature of the MAX6324DUT29-T.
What is the minimum VCC voltage at which MAX6324DUT29-T guarantees valid RESET assertion?
The MAX6324DUT29-T guarantees valid RESET output down to VCC = +1.2V. Below this voltage, the internal circuitry cannot sink current reliably, but above it - including during brownout recovery - RESET remains asserted with defined logic levels. This specification ensures deterministic behavior during critical low-voltage transitions in the MAX6324DUT29-T.
Does MAX6324DUT29-T require external passive components for basic operation?
Yes - the MAX6324DUT29-T requires two external components for reliable operation: a ≥500pF bypass capacitor on VCC to suppress supply noise, and a pullup resistor on the open-drain RESET pin (typically 10kΩ). WDPO also requires a pullup for active-low pulse signaling. These are mandatory design requirements specified in the MAX6324DUT29-T datasheet, not optional enhancements.
