Product details
Overview
MAX6324EUT46-T from Maxim Integrated is a microprocessor supervisory IC with windowed (min/max) watchdog, open-drain RESET output, and factory-trimmed 4.63V reset threshold (±2.5% accuracy). It monitors +5.0V power supplies in automotive and industrial systems, asserts RESET low during brownout or manual reset, and pulses WDPO low for 1ms upon fast/slow watchdog timeout faults. Guaranteed operation down to VCC = +1.2V.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6324EUT46-T datasheet, MAX6324EUT46-T pinout, MAX6324EUT46-T application, or MAX6324EUT46-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 6-pin SOT23 package, -40°C to +125°C operating range, 100ms minimum reset timeout, E-suffix 15ms/60s watchdog window, and open-drain compatibility with bidirectional μP reset pins.
Technical Context
The MAX6324EUT46-T implements a dual-window watchdog that detects both fast faults (WDI falling edges <15ms apart) and slow faults (no WDI edge >60s), using internal laser-trimmed timing. Its reset comparator guarantees valid output down to VCC = +1.2V, with hysteresis and glitch immunity on MR and WDI inputs.
This device uses BiCMOS process technology (1371 transistors) and features debounced manual reset input with 1μs minimum pulse width, 100ns glitch rejection, and internal 50–85kΩ MR pullup. The open-drain RESET and WDPO outputs support level-shifting across supply domains up to +6V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.63V nominal (4.50V–4.75V range), ±2.5% accuracy over -40°C to +125°C - ensures reliable brownout detection for +5.0V systems. |
| Watchdog Timeout (Fast/Slow) | 15ms / 60s (E-suffix), factory-laser-trimmed - enables precise windowed monitoring of μP instruction timing without external components. |
| RESET Assertion Delay | ≥100ms after VCC rise above threshold and MR deassertion - provides sufficient hold time for μP initialization and memory stabilization. |
| Supply Current | 23µA typical at VCC = 2.5V/3.3V - enables low-power operation in battery-backed or energy-constrained embedded systems. |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial control, and medical equipment environments. |
| VCC Range | 1.2V to 5.5V - supports valid RESET assertion even during deep brownout, critical for fail-safe system recovery. |
| WDPO Pulse Width | 1ms typical - delivers unambiguous fault signal to NMI or diagnostic logic without requiring external timing circuitry. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6324EUT46-T is housed in a 6-pin SOT23 package (package code U6+1A, outline 21-0058), optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts and high-temperature operation (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 circuits; requires low-inductance connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| 3 - WDI | Watchdog input | Falling-edge-triggered; resets internal timer; must be driven by μP I/O with ≥300ns pulse width and 0.75×VCC VIH. |
| 4 - VCC | Supply voltage input | Monitored for reset generation; bypass with ≥500pF capacitor near pin to suppress transients and ensure stable operation. |
| 5 - WDPO | Open-drain watchdog pulse output | Pulses low for 1ms on fast/slow fault; requires external pullup to ≤+6V; inactive while RESET is asserted. |
| 6 - RESET | Active-low open-drain reset output | Asserted when VCC < 4.63V or MR low; requires external pullup; compatible with bidirectional μP reset pins (e.g., 68HC11). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Windowed (Min/Max) Watchdog | Simultaneously detects both premature and delayed WDI transitions - prevents false resets from jitter while catching stalled execution. |
| Factory-Trimmed Reset Threshold | 4.63V ±2.5% accuracy eliminates need for external resistor dividers or calibration - reduces BOM count and layout complexity. |
| Open-Drain RESET Output | Enables direct interface with bidirectional μP reset pins and level-shifting across supply domains - simplifies multi-rail system design. |
| Guaranteed Operation to VCC = +1.2V | Ensures deterministic reset behavior during deep brownout - critical for safety-critical automotive and medical applications. |
| Debounced Manual Reset Input | Internal pullup and 100ns glitch rejection eliminate need for external RC network - saves board space and improves reliability. |
| Low Quiescent Current | 23µA typical enables use in always-on subsystems without compromising battery life - suitable for telematics and sensor nodes. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6324EUT44-T | 4.38V nominal reset threshold (4.25V–4.50V range); identical watchdog window (E-suffix), package, and temperature range. | Targeted at +4.5V or regulated +5V systems with tighter supply tolerance; not suitable for nominal +5.0V rails requiring 4.63V trip point. | Select when system VCC nominal is 4.5V or when margin analysis shows 4.38V threshold better avoids nuisance resets. |
| TLV809E33DBVR | Fixed 3.3V reset threshold, no watchdog function, push-pull RESET, 3-pin SOT23 package. | Only provides basic power-on/brownout reset; lacks windowed watchdog, manual reset input, and WDPO fault signaling capability. | Choose only if watchdog supervision is unnecessary and system operates at 3.3V; not a functional substitute for MAX6324EUT46-T. |
Compared with MAX6324EUT44-T, the MAX6324EUT46-T provides higher reset threshold for stricter +5.0V rail monitoring; compared with TLV809E33DBVR, it adds full windowed watchdog supervision, manual reset, and fault-pulse signaling - essential for safety-critical and autonomous operation.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6324EUT46-T?
The MAX6324EUT46-T has a factory-laser-trimmed nominal reset threshold of 4.63V, with guaranteed range of 4.50V to 4.75V over -40°C to +125°C. This value is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table and corresponds to the "46" suffix in the part number, making MAX6324EUT46-T suitable for precise supervision of +5.0V power rails.
Does MAX6324EUT46-T support windowed watchdog functionality?
Yes, MAX6324EUT46-T implements a true min/max (windowed) watchdog that detects both fast faults (WDI falling edges closer than 15ms) and slow faults (no WDI edge longer than 60s). This dual-window capability is enabled by the "E" suffix and is confirmed in the Watchdog Timeout table and Detailed Description section of the datasheet.
What is the function of the WDPO pin on MAX6324EUT46-T?
The WDPO (Watchdog Pulse Output) pin on MAX6324EUT46-T is an open-drain output that pulses low for 1ms (typical) upon detection of either a fast or slow watchdog fault. It remains inactive while RESET is asserted and requires an external pullup resistor to any supply up to +6V - enabling direct connection to NMI inputs or diagnostic logic without additional buffering.
Can MAX6324EUT46-T operate reliably at high temperature?
Yes, MAX6324EUT46-T is fully specified for continuous operation from -40°C to +125°C, with absolute maximum junction temperature of +150°C. Its thermal resistance (θJA = 115°C/W on multilayer board) and BiCMOS process ensure stable performance in under-hood automotive and industrial control environments where ambient temperatures exceed 100°C.
How does the manual reset (MR) input behave on MAX6324EUT46-T?
The MR input on MAX6324EUT46-T is active-low, internally pulled up to VCC (50–85kΩ), and debounced with 100ns glitch immunity. Asserting MR low for ≥1μs forces RESET low and clears the watchdog timer. After MR release, RESET remains asserted for ≥100ms - ensuring μP reset hold time meets industry-standard requirements.
