Product details
Overview
MAX6362HUT46-T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with integrated watchdog timer, designed for battery-backed SRAM power management in embedded µP systems. It operates from +1.2V supply, features factory-preset 4.63V reset threshold (±15mV over temperature), 1.6s watchdog timeout, and active-low open-drain RESET output. Used in portable instrumentation where brownout resilience and autonomous reset initiation are critical.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6362HUT46-T datasheet, MAX6362HUT46-T pinout, MAX6362HUT46-T application, or MAX6362HUT46-T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed reset assertion down to 1.2V VCC/VBATT, 150ms minimum reset timeout, battery switchover hysteresis of 40mV, and watchdog input (WDI) edge-triggered clearing with 100ns minimum pulse width.
Technical Context
The MAX6362HUT46-T implements a precision bandgap-based voltage monitor for VCC against a 4.63V threshold with ±15mV max deviation over –40°C to +85°C, and a separate independent watchdog timer with 1.6s nominal timeout (1.0–2.25s range). Its internal MOSFET enables automatic battery switchover when VCC falls below VBATT by >20mV, maintaining SRAM power without external control logic.
Reset assertion is synchronized to VCC falling edge with propagation delay <5µs at 10V/ms slew rate, and reset deassertion includes a fixed 150ms timeout after VCC rises above threshold. The WDI input clears the watchdog on any rising or falling edge - not level-hold - ensuring robust software liveliness detection even during stuck-loop conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.63V (factory preset, ±15mV over –40°C to +85°C); ensures reliable detection of +5V rail collapse before µP malfunction. |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6s (typical), 1.0–2.25s (min/max); provides sufficient margin for firmware execution cycles while preventing false triggers from transient stalls. |
| Reset Timeout Period | 150ms (minimum); guarantees µP remains held in reset long enough for stable power recovery and clock stabilization. |
| Supply Voltage Range | +1.2V to +5.5V (VCC or VBATT); supports direct operation from single-cell Li+ or coin-cell batteries without LDO. |
| Quiescent Current | 15µA (typical at VCC = 5.5V); enables multi-year battery life in always-on backup mode. |
| Battery Switchover Hysteresis | 40mV (VBATT − VCC); prevents oscillation during slow VCC decay near threshold crossing. |
| WDI Pulse Width Min | 100ns; allows use with fast µP I/O toggling without requiring dedicated timing hardware. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 6-pin SOT23 (U6-1), RoHS-compliant, -40°C to +85°C operating range.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: RESET | Active-low open-drain reset output | Pulled low during VCC undervoltage, WDI timeout, or power-up; requires external pull-up; asserts for ≥150ms after recovery. |
| 2: GND | Ground reference | Common return for all internal circuits; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane. |
| 3: WDI | Watchdog input | Edge-sensitive (rising/falling); resets internal timer on each transition; 100ns min pulse width; internal 20kΩ pull-up to VCC. |
| 4: VCC | Main supply input | Primary power source; monitored for reset generation; powers internal circuitry and drives OUT when active. |
| 5: OUT | Power output | Switches between VCC and VBATT sources; delivers up to 150mA; connects to SRAM VDD to maintain data during main power loss. |
| 6: BATT | Backup battery input | Secondary power source; activates automatically when VCC < VBATT − 20mV; supplies OUT with <1µA standby current at VBATT = 2.8V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-trimmed reset threshold | 4.63V with ±15mV max tolerance over full temperature range - eliminates need for external resistor divider calibration. |
| Edge-triggered watchdog | Clears on any WDI transition (not level), enabling simple firmware toggle without precise timing constraints or dedicated timer peripherals. |
| Guaranteed 1.2V operation | RESET/RESET valid down to 1.2V VCC or VBATT - ensures fail-safe behavior even as primary or backup supply sags near end-of-life. |
| Integrated battery switchover MOSFET | Zero external components required for seamless SRAM backup switching; 40mV hysteresis prevents chatter during brownout recovery. |
| Power-supply transient immunity | Withstands negative-going VCC transients up to 30µs at 100mV overdrive without spurious reset - reduces need for oversized input capacitance. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar supervisory circuit applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6362HUT44-T | 4.38V reset threshold (vs. 4.63V); otherwise identical pinout, timing, and feature set. | Suitable for systems with tighter 4.5V rail tolerance or lower dropout regulators. | Select when main supply nominal is 4.5V rather than 5.0V; same PCB layout and firmware integration. |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V fixed reset threshold; no integrated watchdog; push-pull RESET output; 1.8–6.0V supply range. | Lacks battery switchover and WDI functionality; requires external circuitry for SRAM backup control. | Choose only if watchdog and battery management are handled elsewhere; not drop-in compatible due to missing BATT/OUT pins and different pin mapping. |
Compared with MAX6362HUT44-T, the MAX6362HUT46-T offers higher reset threshold for improved noise margin on 5V rails; compared with TPS3808G33DBVR, it integrates battery switchover and watchdog in one SOT23-6 package, eliminating three external components and reducing board area by >30%.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6362HUT46-T?
The MAX6362HUT46-T has a factory-preset reset threshold of 4.63V, with a guaranteed tolerance of ±15mV over the full –40°C to +85°C operating temperature range. This value is laser-trimmed during production and does not require external calibration. The MAX6362HUT46-T datasheet specifies 4.50V (min) and 4.75V (max) limits at TA = +25°C, tightening to 4.63V ±15mV across temperature.
Does the MAX6362HUT46-T support battery switchover without external MOSFETs?
Yes, the MAX6362HUT46-T integrates an internal MOSFET that automatically switches the OUT pin from VCC to VBATT when VCC falls below VBATT by more than 20mV. No external FETs, diodes, or control logic are required. The device maintains this state until VCC rises 20mV above VBATT, providing 40mV hysteresis to prevent oscillation during slow brownout recovery.
How does the watchdog timer in the MAX6362HUT46-T clear - by level or edge?
The watchdog timer in the MAX6362HUT46-T clears on any edge (rising or falling) at the WDI pin - not on sustained logic levels. This edge-triggered behavior allows flexible firmware implementation, such as toggling a GPIO once per main loop, without requiring precise pulse timing. The MAX6362HUT46-T ignores WDI state duration and responds only to transitions, with a minimum detectable pulse width of 100ns.
Can the MAX6362HUT46-T operate with a 1.8V main supply?
No - the MAX6362HUT46-T requires VCC ≥ 2.4V to guarantee proper reset assertion and internal circuit operation, though its absolute minimum supply is +1.2V. At 1.8V, the 4.63V reset threshold cannot be meaningfully monitored, and parameters like supply current and propagation delay are not characterized. For 1.8V systems, consider the MAX6361–MAX6364 variants with lower thresholds (e.g., MAX6362HUT23-T, 2.32V).
What is the maximum load current the OUT pin can deliver in battery-backup mode?
In battery-backup mode, the OUT pin of the MAX6362HUT46-T delivers current sourced from VBATT through the internal MOSFET. The datasheet specifies maximum load currents of 5mA at VBATT = 2.25V, 10mA at 3.0V, and 20mA at 4.5V - all with guaranteed voltage regulation. Exceeding these limits risks excessive voltage drop or thermal shutdown. The MAX6362HUT46-T is intended for SRAM backup (typically <1mA), not general-purpose power delivery.
