Product details
Overview
MAX6747KA16+T from Analog Devices is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with factory-trimmed 1.575V ±2% VCC reset threshold, manual-reset input (MR), push-pull active-low RESET output, and capacitor-adjustable reset timeout (tRP) and watchdog timeout (tWD). It monitors single-supply systems from 1.2V to 5.5V and operates across the automotive temperature range (–40°C to +125°C), enabling reliable brownout and power-up supervision in battery-powered controllers and embedded automotive modules.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6747KA16+T datasheet, MAX6747KA16+T pinout, MAX6747KA16+T application, or MAX6747KA16+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its fixed 1.575V reset threshold, MR-enabled manual reset capability, SOT23-8 package footprint, and compatibility with capacitor-tuned reset/watchdog delays for μP-based safety-critical monitoring.
Technical Context
The MAX6747KA16+T implements dual independent reset assertion logic: one triggered by VCC falling below 1.575V ±2%, and another activated by pulling the MR pin low. Reset remains asserted for a user-defined timeout period (tRP = 4.94 × 10⁶ × CSRT) after both conditions clear.
Its watchdog timer operates in normal mode only (no WDS pin), with timeout set via external capacitor on SWT (tWD = 4.94 × 10⁶ × CSWT), and clears on any WDI falling edge or RESET assertion. Unlike MAX6752/MAX6753, it lacks windowed watchdog functionality or SET0/SET1 configuration.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold Voltage | 1.575V ±2% at –40°C to +125°C - ensures precise brownout detection without external resistor divider |
| Supply Current | 3.7µA typical at VCC ≤ 2.0V - enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered systems |
| Reset Timeout Range | 0.506ms to 9.487ms (CSRT = 100pF to 1500pF) - supports fast boot or extended initialization sequences |
| Watchdog Timeout Range | 0.506ms to 9.487ms (CSWT = 100pF to 1500pF) - matches typical firmware service intervals |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - AEC-Q100 qualified for under-hood automotive use |
| VCC Range | 1.2V to 5.5V - supports Li-ion, 3.3V, and 5V system rails |
| RESET Output Type | Push-pull active-low - eliminates need for external pullup and ensures defined logic state down to VCC = 1V |
Pinout & Package
MAX6747KA16+T is housed in an 8-pin SOT23 package (outline 21-0078, land pattern 90-0176), optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts in portable and automotive electronics.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | MR (Manual Reset) | Internally pulled up to VCC; assert low ≥1µs to trigger reset - enables switch-based or logic-controlled reset initiation without external components |
| 2 | WDS | No-connect (NC) - unused in MAX6747; differs from MAX6746/MAX6748–MAX6751 which use WDS for watchdog extension |
| 3 | SWT | Watchdog timeout capacitor node - sets tWD = 4.94 × 10⁶ × CSWT; connect to GND to disable watchdog |
| 4 | SRT | Reset timeout capacitor node - sets tRP = 4.94 × 10⁶ × CSRT; determines duration RESET stays low after fault clearance |
| 5 | GND | Ground reference - shared return path for VCC, RESET, and all internal comparators |
| 6 | WDI | Watchdog input - falling edge resets watchdog timer; must not float; 100kΩ pulldown recommended if unused |
| 7 | RESET | Push-pull active-low reset output - drives μP reset pin directly; valid logic state guaranteed for VCC ≥ 1V |
| 8 | VCC | Power supply input - powers internal circuitry and serves as monitored voltage rail for fixed-threshold reset detection |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-trimmed 1.575V reset threshold | ±2% accuracy over –40°C to +125°C eliminates calibration effort and external resistors for VCC monitoring |
| Integrated manual-reset input (MR) | Internal 12–28kΩ pullup enables direct switch connection - no external pullup or debounce required |
| Capacitor-adjustable reset and watchdog timeouts | Independent CSRT and CSWT pins allow precise tuning of tRP and tWD to match μP boot time and firmware loop timing |
| Push-pull RESET output | Drives μP reset pin directly without pullup resistor - reduces BOM count and ensures deterministic state during VCC ramp-down |
| Power-supply transient immunity | Rejects 100mV transients lasting ≤50µs - prevents spurious resets in noisy automotive or industrial environments |
Applications
| Automotive Body Control Module | Medical Infusion Pump Controller |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6746KA16+T | Identical reset threshold (1.575V), same SOT23-8 package, but lacks MR pin - uses RESET IN instead | Requires external resistor divider for manual reset; unsuitable where direct switch interface is needed | Select MAX6747KA16+T when board-level manual reset via switch is required without added components |
| TPS3808G16DBVR | 1.6V fixed reset threshold (±0.5%), 1.8–6.0V VCC range, 2.5µA ICC, but no MR pin and only open-drain RESET | Needs external pullup; less accurate threshold; no native manual reset - requires GPIO-driven reset circuit | Choose TPS3808G16DBVR only if lower quiescent current and tighter threshold tolerance outweigh MR and push-pull requirements |
Compared with MAX6746KA16+T, the MAX6747KA16+T adds integrated MR functionality without sacrificing accuracy or package size; versus TPS3808G16DBVR, it trades minor ICC reduction for essential MR support and push-pull drive - critical for cost-sensitive, component-count-constrained designs.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6747KA16+T?
The MAX6747KA16+T features a factory-trimmed VCC reset threshold of 1.575V with ±2% tolerance over the full operating temperature range (–40°C to +125°C), as confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table and Selector Guide. This value is fixed and does not require external resistor programming - the "16" suffix in the part number explicitly denotes the 1.575V threshold variant.
Does the MAX6747KA16+T support watchdog timer extension via WDS?
No, the MAX6747KA16+T does not support watchdog extension via WDS. Pin 2 (WDS) is a no-connect (NC) in this variant. The MAX6747KA16+T implements only the basic watchdog timeout (tWD = 4.94 × 10⁶ × CSWT) without 128× extension - that feature is exclusive to MAX6746–MAX6751 variants with functional WDS pins.
Can the MAX6747KA16+T monitor two supply voltages simultaneously?
No, the MAX6747KA16+T monitors only the VCC supply voltage using its fixed 1.575V threshold. It does not include the RESET IN pin or adjustable threshold comparator found in MAX6748–MAX6751, nor does it support dual-voltage monitoring like MAX6750/MAX6751. Its function is strictly single-rail VCC supervision with manual reset.
What is the minimum pulse width required on the MR pin to trigger reset in the MAX6747KA16+T?
The MR pin of the MAX6747KA16+T requires a minimum low pulse width of 1µs to reliably assert the RESET output. This specification is guaranteed across the full temperature range and is documented in the Electrical Characteristics table under "MR Minimum Pulse Width." Shorter pulses may be rejected due to built-in 100ns glitch rejection.
Is the RESET output of the MAX6747KA16+T compatible with 1.8V microcontrollers?
Yes, the push-pull RESET output of the MAX6747KA16+T is fully compatible with 1.8V microcontrollers. When asserted (low), VOL is guaranteed ≤0.3V at ISINK = 50µA for VCC ≥ 1.0V - well within 1.8V logic low thresholds. When deasserted (high), VOH = 0.8 × VCC, so at VCC = 1.8V, VOH ≥ 1.44V - meeting standard 1.8V CMOS high-level input requirements.
