Product details
Overview
MAX6324FUT31-T from Maxim Integrated is an open-drain microprocessor supervisory IC with windowed (min/max) watchdog, 3.08V ±2.5% reset threshold, 23ms fast and 47ms slow watchdog timeout windows, and guaranteed RESET validity down to VCC = +1.2V. It monitors power supply integrity and processor activity in automotive control units, industrial PLCs, and medical diagnostic equipment.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6324FUT31-T datasheet, MAX6324FUT31-T pinout, MAX6324FUT31-T application, or MAX6324FUT31-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its factory-trimmed dual-window watchdog timing, open-drain RESET/WDPO outputs compatible with bidirectional μP reset pins, low 23µA typical supply current, and AEC-Q100-qualified operation over –40°C to +125°C.
Technical Context
The MAX6324FUT31-T implements a laser-trimmed windowed watchdog that detects both fast faults (WDI falling edges <23ms apart) and slow faults (no WDI edge >47ms), with WDPO pulsed low for 1ms on fault detection. Its reset comparator guarantees assertion down to VCC = +1.2V and holds RESET active for ≥100ms after VCC recovery and MR deassertion.
It features debounced manual reset input (MR) with internal 50–85kΩ pullup, glitch immunity of 100ns at VCC = 2.5V, and operates across full 1.2V–5.5V supply range. The device uses BiCMOS process (1371 transistors) and supports level-shifting via open-drain outputs tied to independent supply rails up to +6V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 3.08V ±2.5% (nominal 3.1V); ensures reliable brownout detection for +3.3V systems |
| Fast Watchdog Timeout | 23ms (min), 39ms (max); triggers WDPO pulse if WDI edges occur too rapidly |
| Slow Watchdog Timeout | 47ms (min), 63ms (max); triggers WDPO pulse if WDI edges are too infrequent |
| Supply Current | 23µA typical at VCC = 2.5V/3.3V; enables ultra-low-power operation in battery-backed systems |
| RESET Timeout Delay | 100ms minimum; guarantees stable processor initialization after power recovery |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C; qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial embedded environments |

Pinout & Package
MAX6324FUT31-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 (50–85kΩ); asserts RESET and clears watchdog timer when low ≥1µs |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all internal circuitry; requires low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| 3 - WDI | Watchdog input | Falling-edge-triggered; resets internal watchdog timer; rejects <100ns glitches at VCC = 2.5V |
| 4 - VCC | Supply voltage input | Monitored for reset generation; bypass with ≥500pF capacitor for noise immunity |
| 5 - WDPO | Open-drain watchdog pulse output | Pulses low for 1ms on fast/slow fault; requires external pullup to any rail ≤+6V |
| 6 - RESET | Active-low open-drain reset output | Asserted when VCC <3.08V or MR low; requires external pullup; compatible with bidirectional μP reset pins |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Windowed (min/max) watchdog | Detects both premature and delayed WDI pulses-critical for safety-critical firmware execution monitoring |
| Laser-trimmed thresholds | ±2.5% accuracy on 3.08V reset and factory-set 23ms/47ms watchdog windows eliminates external calibration |
| Open-drain RESET & WDPO | Enables level-shifting and wired-OR reset arbitration across multiple supplies or processors |
| Debounced MR input | Internal pullup and 100ns glitch rejection allow direct switch connection without external RC network |
| Valid RESET down to VCC = +1.2V | Ensures deterministic reset state during deep brownout-prevents undefined μP behavior before full power loss |
Applications
| Automotive Engine Control Unit (ECU) | Industrial Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Monitors 3.3V microcontroller supply and software execution in engine management systems subject to load dump and cold-crank transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervisory IC providing power-on reset, brownout protection, and windowed watchdog supervision of main MCU firmware loop. Use Value: Prevents unsafe ECU operation during voltage sags by asserting RESET before VCC drops below 3.08V, and triggers WDPO on stuck-loop faults to initiate fail-safe shutdown. |
Use Scenario: Ensures deterministic startup and runtime integrity of ARM-based PLC controllers operating in factory-floor environments with EMI and supply ripple. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-role supervisor: VCC monitor for power sequencing and windowed watchdog for real-time task scheduler validation. Use Value: Guarantees ≥100ms reset hold time after power recovery and detects both fast (23ms) and slow (47ms) deviations in watchdog pulse timing-critical for SIL-2 functional safety compliance. |
| Medical Patient Monitor | Embedded Telematics Module |
Use Scenario: Secures boot sequence and runtime health of FPGA-based vital-sign processing unit in portable diagnostic devices with battery backup. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Power supervisor and watchdog co-processor interfacing with FPGA's bidirectional reset pin via open-drain RESET. Use Value: Enables level-shifted reset signaling between 3.3V FPGA domain and 5V analog front-end; maintains valid RESET output down to VCC = +1.2V during battery depletion. |
Use Scenario: Provides fault-resilient reset and watchdog supervision for LTE modem + GPS SoC in vehicle telematics gateways exposed to wide temperature swings. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: System-level supervisor detecting both supply instability (via 3.08V threshold) and firmware hang (via 23ms/47ms windowed watchdog). Use Value: WDPO pulse can be routed to SoC NMI pin for non-maskable error handling, while RESET ensures full cold restart-reducing field failure rates in unattended deployments. |
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 719ms/1.3s watchdog windows instead of 23ms/47ms | Suitable for slower-firmware applications (e.g., HVAC controllers), not real-time ECU/PLC | Select only if longer watchdog timeouts match firmware loop timing requirements |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Fixed 3.3V reset threshold, single-stage (non-windowed) watchdog, 200ms min timeout | Lacks min/max watchdog capability; cannot detect premature WDI pulses | Use where cost sensitivity outweighs need for advanced watchdog fault discrimination |
Compared with MAX6324FUT31-T, MAX6324HUT31-T offers extended watchdog timing unsuitable for fast-response systems, while TPS3808G33DBVR lacks windowed watchdog functionality entirely-making MAX6324FUT31-T the only option supporting both early- and late-fault detection in safety-critical 3.3V embedded designs.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6324FUT31-T?
The MAX6324FUT31-T has a nominal reset threshold of 3.08V with ±2.5% accuracy over –40°C to +125°C, corresponding to the "31" suffix per Maxim's ordering convention. This value is laser-trimmed at wafer test and guaranteed across full temperature range, making it suitable for precise monitoring of +3.3V supply rails in automotive and industrial applications.
Does MAX6324FUT31-T support bidirectional microprocessor reset pins?
Yes, MAX6324FUT31-T supports bidirectional μP reset pins because its RESET output is open-drain. When used with a single external pullup resistor, either the MAX6324FUT31-T or the μP can assert reset-enabling shared reset arbitration in multi-processor systems like motor control gateways or redundant PLC modules.
What are the watchdog timeout values for MAX6324FUT31-T?
MAX6324FUT31-T features factory-trimmed dual-window watchdog timing: fast timeout of 23ms (min) / 39ms (max), and slow timeout of 47ms (min) / 63ms (max). These values correspond to the "F" suffix and are measured from the last falling edge of WDI, enabling detection of both premature and delayed watchdog pulses in real-time firmware loops.
Can MAX6324FUT31-T operate with supply voltages below 3.0V?
Yes, MAX6324FUT31-T operates from VCC = 1.2V to 5.5V and guarantees valid RESET output down to VCC = +1.2V. Below this voltage, the internal circuitry ceases sinking current, but the 3.08V reset threshold remains accurate across the full 1.2V–5.5V range-enabling robust brownout detection in battery-powered or low-voltage embedded systems.
Is MAX6324FUT31-T qualified for automotive applications?
MAX6324FUT31-T is specified for –40°C to +125°C operation and meets AEC-Q100 stress testing requirements as documented in Maxim's qualification reports. While the "/V" suffix denotes explicitly automotive-qualified variants (e.g., MAX6324HUT44/V+T), the MAX6324FUT31-T shares identical process, packaging, and characterization-making it widely deployed in automotive ECU and telematics modules.
