Product details
Overview
MAX6324FUT46+T from Maxim Integrated is a windowed watchdog supervisory IC for microprocessor systems, featuring open-drain RESET and WDPO outputs, ±2.5% accurate 4.63V reset threshold, 719ms fast timeout / 1.3s slow timeout (H-window), and guaranteed operation down to VCC = +1.2V. It monitors power integrity and software execution in automotive engine control units requiring fail-safe reset behavior.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6324FUT46+T datasheet, MAX6324FUT46+T pinout, MAX6324FUT46+T application, or MAX6324FUT46+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100-compatible windowed watchdog architecture, factory-trimmed H-window timing, 4.63V reset threshold with 100ms minimum reset timeout, and SOT23-6 open-drain output compatibility with bidirectional μP reset pins.
Technical Context
The MAX6324FUT46+T implements a dual-threshold (min/max) watchdog timer that detects both fast faults (WDI falling edges <719ms apart) and slow faults (no WDI edge >1.3s), with WDPO pulsed low for 1ms on fault detection. Its internal reset comparator guarantees valid RESET assertion down to VCC = +1.2V, and the open-drain RESET output supports level-shifting across supply domains.
It uses laser-trimmed BiCMOS circuitry to achieve ±2.5% reset threshold accuracy over –40°C to +125°C, with 23µA typical supply current and 100ns MR input glitch immunity. The device requires no external components for basic operation beyond a 500pF VCC bypass capacitor and pullup resistors on RESET and WDPO.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.63V nominal (±2.5%), enabling precise brownout detection for +5.0V systems |
| Watchdog Fast Timeout | 719ms (min), used to detect premature WDI pulses indicating runaway code loops |
| Watchdog Slow Timeout | 1.3s (min), used to detect missed WDI pulses indicating processor hang or clock failure |
| Reset Timeout Delay | 100ms minimum, ensuring μP remains held in reset long enough for stable power-up |
| Supply Current | 23µA typical at 3V, supporting ultra-low-power always-on monitoring in battery-backed systems |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C, meeting extended industrial and automotive under-hood requirements |
| VCC Range | 1.2V to 5.5V, allowing valid reset assertion even during deep brownout conditions |
Pinout & Package
MAX6324FUT46+T is housed in a 6-pin SOT23 package (package code U6+1A), with 1.6mm × 2.9mm footprint and 0.95mm height, suitable for space-constrained automotive and industrial PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - MR | Active-low manual reset input | Internally pulled up; asserts RESET and clears watchdog timer when driven low ≥1µs; immune to 100ns glitches |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all internal circuitry; must be connected directly to system ground plane |
| 3 - WDI | Watchdog input | Falling-edge-triggered; resets internal watchdog timer; requires ≥300ns pulse width and 0.75×VCC VIH |
| 4 - VCC | Supply voltage input | Monitored power rail; powers internal circuitry; requires ≥500pF bypass capacitor for noise immunity |
| 5 - WDPO | Open-drain watchdog pulse output | Pulsed low for 1ms on fast/slow fault detection; requires external pullup to ≤+6V; inactive when RESET is asserted |
| 6 - RESET | Active-low open-drain reset output | Asserted when VCC < 4.63V or MR low; held for ≥100ms after recovery; requires external pullup for logic-level compatibility |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6324HUT46/V+T | AEC-Q100 qualified variant with identical electrical specs and H-window timing | Required for automotive production programs needing formal qualification documentation | Select MAX6324HUT46/V+T when automotive PPAP compliance and traceable qualification data are mandatory |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single-threshold watchdog (not windowed); 3.3V fixed reset; 200ms reset timeout; 2.5µA quiescent current | Suitable for cost-sensitive consumer applications without functional safety requirements | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR only if windowed watchdog functionality is unnecessary and AEC-Q100 is not required |
Compared with MAX6324FUT46+T, MAX6324HUT46/V+T adds formal AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive use without changing timing or voltage specs, while TPS3808G33DBVR offers lower power but lacks min/max watchdog capability-making it unsuitable for ASIL-B or IEC 62304 Class C designs requiring fault discrimination.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6324FUT46+T?
The MAX6324FUT46+T has a nominal reset threshold of 4.63V, with guaranteed tolerance of ±2.5% over –40°C to +125°C. This value is laser-trimmed at wafer test and confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Reset Threshold Voltage" for suffix UT46. The MAX6324FUT46+T is designed for reliable monitoring of +5.0V power rails in automotive and industrial environments.
Does MAX6324FUT46+T support windowed (min/max) watchdog functionality?
Yes, MAX6324FUT46+T implements true windowed watchdog behavior using the H-window configuration: fast timeout of 719ms (min) and slow timeout of 1.3s (min). This allows detection of both premature WDI pulses (indicating tight-loop stalls) and missing pulses (indicating complete processor hang), a requirement for ISO 26262-compliant systems. The MAX6324FUT46+T datasheet explicitly defines this behavior in the Watchdog Timeout table and Figure 1.
What is the function of the WDPO pin on MAX6324FUT46+T?
The WDPO (Watchdog Pulse Output) pin on MAX6324FUT46+T is an open-drain output that pulses low for 1ms upon detection of either a fast or slow watchdog fault. It operates independently of the RESET output and remains inactive while RESET is asserted. The MAX6324FUT46+T WDPO signal is intended for fault logging, NMI triggering, or diagnostic communication-enabling system-level response without immediate full reset.
Can MAX6324FUT46+T operate reliably at VCC = +1.2V?
Yes, MAX6324FUT46+T guarantees valid RESET output down to VCC = +1.2V, as stated in the General Description and Electrical Characteristics. Below this voltage, the internal circuitry ceases to sink current, but the RESET output remains asserted (low) until VCC recovers above the 4.63V threshold plus timeout. This feature ensures deterministic behavior during deep brownout events critical for automotive and medical applications using the MAX6324FUT46+T.
What package type and footprint does MAX6324FUT46+T use?
MAX6324FUT46+T is supplied in a 6-pin SOT23 package (outline number 21-0058, land pattern 90-0175), measuring 1.6mm × 2.9mm with 0.95mm height. The package code is U6+1A, and it is RoHS-compliant (indicated by the "+T" suffix). This compact footprint supports high-density layouts in automotive control modules and portable medical devices using the MAX6324FUT46+T.
