Product details
Overview
MAX6324FUT26-T from Maxim Integrated is an open-drain microprocessor supervisory circuit with windowed (min/max) watchdog, 2.63V ±2.5% reset threshold, 100ms minimum reset timeout, and operation from 1.2V to 5.5V supply. It monitors power integrity and µP execution timing in automotive engine control units, industrial PLCs, and medical infusion pumps.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6324FUT26-T datasheet, MAX6324FUT26-T pinout, MAX6324FUT26-T application, or MAX6324FUT26-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its factory-trimmed 23ms fast / 47ms slow watchdog window, guaranteed RESET validity down to VCC = +1.2V, open-drain RESET/WDPO outputs compatible with bidirectional µP reset pins, and AEC-Q100-qualified variants.
Technical Context
The MAX6324FUT26-T implements a dual-window watchdog that detects both fast faults (WDI falling edges <23ms apart) and slow faults (no WDI edge >47ms), with WDPO pulsed low for 1ms upon fault detection. Its reset comparator guarantees valid output down to VCC = +1.2V and features ±2.5% accuracy over –40°C to +125°C.
It uses laser-trimmed internal thresholds and operates with 23µA typical supply current. The MR input includes internal 50–85kΩ pullup and 100ns glitch immunity, while WDI accepts pulses ≥300ns wide and rejects transients <100ns.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.63V ±2.5% - precisely monitors +2.5V rails with brownout detection margin |
| Reset Timeout Delay | 100ms minimum - ensures µP completes power-up initialization before release |
| Fast Watchdog Timeout | 23ms (min), 39ms (max) - detects premature WDI pulses indicating runaway code loops |
| Slow Watchdog Timeout | 47ms (min), 63ms (max) - identifies stalled execution or missed WDI assertions |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.2V to 5.5V - enables use across low-voltage logic and legacy 5V systems |
| Supply Current | 23µA typical at 3.3V - supports always-on monitoring in battery-backed applications |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial environments |
Pinout & Package
MAX6324FUT26-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. 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 for all internal circuitry; requires low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| 3 - WDI | Watchdog input | Falling-edge triggered; resets internal timer; requires ≥300ns pulse width; accepts VIH ≥0.75×VCC |
| 4 - VCC | Supply voltage input | Monitored rail input; bypass with ≥500pF capacitor near pin for noise immunity |
| 5 - WDPO | Open-drain watchdog pulse output | Pulsed 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 when VCC <2.63V 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 and delayed WDI pulses-critical for safety-critical firmware validation |
| Guaranteed RESET down to VCC = +1.2V | Ensures deterministic reset state even during deep brownout, preventing undefined µP behavior |
| Debounced manual reset input | Eliminates need for external RC network; supports direct switch connection with 1µs minimum assertion |
| Open-drain RESET and WDPO outputs | Enables level-shifting and wired-OR interfacing with multiple supplies or bidirectional µP reset pins |
| Laser-trimmed precision thresholds | ±2.5% reset voltage accuracy and stable watchdog timing over full temperature range |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6324HUT26-T | Same 2.63V reset threshold but H-window watchdog (719ms fast / 1.3s slow) | Suited for slower-firmware applications like HVAC controllers; not suitable for real-time ECU timing | Select only if extended watchdog windows are required; incompatible for 23ms/47ms timing-critical designs |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V fixed reset threshold, no windowed watchdog (only single timeout), 350ms reset delay | Lacks min/max watchdog; limited to basic power monitoring without execution timing validation | Use where cost sensitivity outweighs need for firmware execution supervision; requires layout change for different pinout |
Compared with MAX6324FUT26-T, MAX6324HUT26-T offers longer watchdog windows unsuitable for fast-response systems, while TPS3808G33DBVR lacks windowed watchdog functionality entirely-making MAX6324FUT26-T the only option supporting both precise 2.63V monitoring and dual-threshold timing supervision in a 6-pin SOT23.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6324FUT26-T?
The MAX6324FUT26-T has a nominal reset threshold of 2.63V, with guaranteed tolerance of ±2.5% (2.55V to 2.70V) over –40°C to +125°C. This value is laser-trimmed at wafer test and applies specifically to the "26" suffix variant, matching +2.5V supply rails with appropriate margin for brownout detection. The threshold is referenced internally to VCC and remains stable across temperature and supply variations.
Does MAX6324FUT26-T support windowed watchdog functionality, and what are its timeout values?
Yes, MAX6324FUT26-T implements true min/max (windowed) watchdog supervision. Its factory-trimmed timeouts are 23ms (min) / 39ms (max) for fast faults and 47ms (min) / 63ms (max) for slow faults. These values are confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Watchdog Timeout (Fast)" and "Watchdog Timeout (Slow)" for the "FUT" suffix. The window ensures detection of both premature and delayed WDI pulses-critical for validating correct µP instruction flow.
What is the function of the WDPO pin on MAX6324FUT26-T, and how should it be used?
The WDPO pin on MAX6324FUT26-T is an open-drain watchdog pulse output that asserts low for 1ms upon detection of either a fast or slow watchdog fault. It remains inactive while RESET is asserted and requires an external pullup resistor (typically 4.7kΩ–10kΩ) to a supply ≤+6V. WDPO can drive an NMI input for nonmaskable interrupt handling or be looped back to MR to force a full 100ms reset-enabling flexible fault response strategies without additional logic.
Can MAX6324FUT26-T operate reliably down to 1.2V supply voltage?
Yes, MAX6324FUT26-T guarantees valid RESET output down to VCC = +1.2V, as explicitly stated in the General Description and Electrical Characteristics. Below this voltage, the internal circuitry ceases sinking current, but the output remains well-defined through the external pullup. This capability ensures deterministic reset behavior during deep brownout conditions common in automotive stop-start systems and battery-powered medical devices-where other supervisors may fail silently.
Is MAX6324FUT26-T qualified for automotive applications?
While MAX6324FUT26-T itself is not explicitly marked AEC-Q100 qualified in the provided documentation, the MAX6324HUT44/V+T variant is cited as AEC-Q100 qualified, and the MAX6324FUT26-T shares identical process (BiCMOS), package (SOT23), temperature range (–40°C to +125°C), and absolute maximum ratings-including lead-free compliance and soldering profiles matching automotive standards. Its design intent and electrical specifications fully align with automotive-grade supervision requirements.
