Product details
Overview
MAX6324HUT29-T from Maxim Integrated is a windowed watchdog supervisory IC for microprocessor systems, featuring open-drain RESET output, 2.93V ±2.5% reset threshold, 719ms/1.3s (H-window) watchdog timeout, and guaranteed operation down to VCC = +1.2V. It monitors power integrity and processor timing in automotive engine control units and industrial PLCs.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6324HUT29-T datasheet, MAX6324HUT29-T pinout, MAX6324HUT29-T application, or MAX6324HUT29-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its H-window watchdog timing, 2.93V reset threshold accuracy, SOT23-6 open-drain interface compatibility, and AEC-Q100-qualified operation across –40°C to +125°C.
Technical Context
The MAX6324HUT29-T implements a min/max (windowed) watchdog architecture 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, independent of supply rail collapse.
It uses laser-trimmed thresholds: nominal reset voltage is 2.93V (UT29 suffix) with ±2.5% tolerance over temperature, and watchdog timing is factory-set to H-window (719ms fast / 1.3s slow). The device operates with 23µA typical supply current and includes debounced MR input with 1µs minimum pulse width.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.93V ±2.5% - precisely matches 3.0V system rails with margin for brownout detection |
| Watchdog Fast Timeout | 719ms (min) - rejects premature WDI pulses while allowing normal software loop jitter |
| Watchdog Slow Timeout | 1.3s (max) - ensures recovery if processor stalls or misses scheduled WDI assertion |
| RESET Assertion Delay | ≥100ms after VCC rise - provides stable deassertion window for µP initialization |
| Supply Current | 23µA typ at 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 factory-floor industrial use |
| VCC Range | 1.2V to 5.5V - supports valid reset signaling even during deep brownout conditions |
Pinout & Package
MAX6324HUT29-T is housed in a 6-pin SOT23 package (package code U6+1A, outline 21-0058), with 1.6mm × 2.9mm 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 pulled low ≥1µs |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Return path for all internal circuitry and output sinks; requires low-impedance connection |
| 3 - WDI | Watchdog input | Falling-edge-triggered; resets internal timer and suppresses WDPO if within H-window (719ms–1.3s) |
| 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 ≤6V supply |
| 6 - RESET | Active-low open-drain reset output | Asserted when VCC <2.93V or MR low; requires external pullup for logic-level compatibility |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Windowed (min/max) watchdog | Detects both stuck-loop (fast fault) and hung-code (slow fault) conditions-critical for safety-critical firmware validation |
| Laser-trimmed 2.93V reset threshold | ±2.5% accuracy over –40°C to +125°C eliminates need for external resistor dividers in 3.0V systems |
| H-window watchdog timing | Factory-set 719ms fast / 1.3s slow timeout enables precise alignment with real-time task scheduling intervals |
| Open-drain RESET & WDPO outputs | Supports bidirectional µP reset pins (e.g., 68HC11) and level-shifting across multiple supply domains |
| Guaranteed RESET validity to VCC = +1.2V | Ensures deterministic reset state during brownout recovery-no undefined logic states at µP inputs |
Applications
| Engine Control Unit (ECU) | Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6324HUT44-T | 4.38V reset threshold (±2.5%), same H-window watchdog timing | Targeted at 5V systems instead of 3.0V/3.3V rails | Select when monitoring +5V supplies; not interchangeable without schematic revision |
| TLV809E30DBVR | Fixed 3.00V reset threshold, no watchdog, push-pull RESET, 1.5µA IQ | Basic power-on reset only-lacks windowed timing supervision | Choose only for cost-sensitive non-safety applications where watchdog functionality is omitted |
Compared with MAX6324HUT29-T, MAX6324HUT44-T shifts reset threshold upward for 5V systems but retains identical watchdog behavior, while TLV809E30DBVR sacrifices windowed supervision and open-drain flexibility for ultra-low power and lower cost-making it unsuitable for functional safety or multi-rail designs.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of MAX6324HUT29-T and how is it trimmed?
The MAX6324HUT29-T has a nominal reset threshold of 2.93V with ±2.5% accuracy over –40°C to +125°C. This value is achieved via factory laser trimming of on-chip resistors, as confirmed by the UT29 suffix in the ordering code and Electrical Characteristics table on page 2 of the datasheet. No external components are required to achieve this precision.
Does MAX6324HUT29-T support windowed watchdog functionality, and what are its timeout values?
Yes, MAX6324HUT29-T implements full min/max (windowed) watchdog functionality. Its H-window configuration provides a fast timeout of 719ms (minimum interval between WDI falling edges) and a slow timeout of 1.3s (maximum allowable interval), as specified in the Watchdog Timeout table on page 1 of the datasheet.
Can MAX6324HUT29-T operate reliably during severe brownout conditions?
Yes, MAX6324HUT29-T guarantees valid RESET output down to VCC = +1.2V, as explicitly stated in the General Description and Electrical Characteristics. This ensures deterministic reset assertion even during deep brownout events common in automotive cold-crank scenarios.
What is the function of the WDPO pin on MAX6324HUT29-T, and how should it be interfaced?
The WDPO pin on MAX6324HUT29-T is an open-drain watchdog pulse output that drives low for 1ms upon detection of fast or slow watchdog faults. It requires an external pullup resistor to any supply ≤+6V and can be connected to an NMI input or MR pin for fault-triggered reset escalation, as shown in Figure 10 of the datasheet.
Is MAX6324HUT29-T qualified for automotive applications, and what standards does it meet?
MAX6324HUT29-T is not explicitly marked with /V suffix and therefore is not AEC-Q100 qualified per the Ordering Information table on page 11. For automotive use, select MAX6324HUT29/V+T or MAX6324HUT44/V+T variants, which carry the /V designation and full AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification.
