Product details
Overview
The MAX6747KA29+T from Analog Devices is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with factory-trimmed 2.925V ±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 VCC (1.2V–5.5V), asserts reset on brownout or MR activation, and provides transient-immune operation for automotive engine control units requiring guaranteed reset validity down to VCC ≥ 1V.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6747KA29+T datasheet, MAX6747KA29+T pinout, MAX6747KA29+T application, or MAX6747KA29+T equivalent, this device delivers AEC-Q100 qualified supervision with configurable watchdog extension (128×), 3.7µA supply current at 2V, and automotive-grade temperature support (−40°C to +125°C) - critical for battery-powered controllers and medical equipment where deterministic reset timing and manual recovery are mandatory.
Technical Context
The MAX6747KA29+T implements a dual-comparator architecture: one for fixed 2.925V VCC monitoring and another for manual-reset detection via internal MR pullup (12–28kΩ). Its reset assertion logic guarantees valid output state for VCC ≥ 1V and includes 20µs VCC-to-RESET delay with immunity to transients ≤50µs at 100mV overdrive.
Watchdog functionality uses an external capacitor on SWT to set tWD (5.7–9.5ms typical at CSWT = 1500pF), extendable to 729–1214ms via WDS pin strapping. The MR input rejects 100ns glitches and requires ≥1µs low pulse to trigger reset, with reset remaining asserted for the full tRP after MR release.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.925V ±2% (factory-trimmed); ensures precise brownout detection at nominal 2.9V rail without external resistors |
| Supply Current | 3.7µA at VCC ≤ 2.0V; enables multi-year battery life in portable medical sensors and remote telematics |
| Reset Timeout | Adjustable 0.5–9.5ms via CSRT capacitor; supports µP power-up sequencing across ARM Cortex-M and PIC families |
| Watchdog Timeout | 5.7–9.5ms (normal) or 729–1214ms (extended) via CSWT; accommodates firmware service intervals from 10ms to >1s |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +125°C; fully specified for under-hood automotive ECUs and industrial motor drives |

Pinout & Package
MAX6747KA29+T is housed in an 8-pin SOT23 package (outline 21-0078, land pattern 90-0176), measuring 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm, with RoHS-compliant lead finish and thermal resistance θJA = 196°C/W on four-layer board.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | MR (Manual Reset) | Active-low input with internal 12–28kΩ pullup to VCC; initiates reset when pulled low ≥1µs, immune to 100ns noise spikes |
| 2 | WDS (Watchdog Select) | Logic input selecting normal (GND) or extended (VCC) watchdog mode; state change clears watchdog timer |
| 3 | SWT (Watchdog Timeout) | Capacitor-connected node setting tWD (normal) or tWD×128 (extended); formula tWD = 4.94×10⁶ × CSWT (seconds) |
| 4 | SRT (Reset Timeout) | Capacitor-connected node setting tRP; formula tRP = 4.94×10⁶ × CSRT (seconds); determines reset pulse width after fault clearance |
| 5 | GND | Ground reference for all analog comparators and digital logic; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| 6 | WDI (Watchdog Input) | Falling-edge sensitive input; resets watchdog timer on each transition; must not float (100kΩ to GND recommended) |
| 7 | RESET | Push-pull active-low output; sinks 50µA at 0.3V max VOL; drives µP reset pin directly without external components |
| 8 | VCC | Power supply input (1.2–5.5V); powers internal comparators, logic, and RESET driver; monitored for 2.925V threshold |

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6747KA29+T?
The MAX6747KA29+T features a factory-trimmed VCC reset threshold of 2.925V with ±2% tolerance over −40°C to +125°C. This value is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under "VCC Reset Threshold" and corresponds to suffix "29" in the ordering code per Table 2 of the datasheet. The threshold remains stable across temperature, with normalized variation ≤±1.0% from −40°C to +125°C.
Does the MAX6747KA29+T support watchdog functionality, and how is it configured?
Yes, the MAX6747KA29+T supports capacitor-adjustable watchdog timeout with 128× extension. Connect a capacitor between SWT and GND to set the base timeout (tWD = 4.94×10⁶ × CSWT), then tie WDS to VCC for extended mode. The watchdog clears on WDI falling edges or RESET assertion. No external logic is needed - all configuration is analog/pin-strapped, making it ideal for safety-critical firmware supervision.
Can the MAX6747KA29+T operate with supply voltages below 2.0V?
Yes, the MAX6747KA29+T operates from VCC = 1.2V to 5.5V across the full automotive temperature range. At VCC ≤ 2.0V, supply current is 3.7–8µA (typ/max), and RESET remains valid with VOL ≤ 0.3V at ISINK = 50µA. The device guarantees functional reset assertion down to VCC = 1.0V, enabling use in ultra-low-voltage battery-backed systems.
What is the function of the MR pin on the MAX6747KA29+T, and how should it be used?
The MR pin on the MAX6747KA29+T is a manual-reset input with internal 12–28kΩ pullup to VCC. Pulling MR low for ≥1µs asserts RESET for the full tRP period. It rejects 100ns glitches and requires no external debouncing. For tactile button use, connect directly between MR and GND; leave unconnected if unused. This simplifies field-serviceable reset design versus alternatives requiring external pullups.
Is the MAX6747KA29+T qualified for automotive applications, and what standards does it meet?
Yes, the MAX6747KA29+T is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications. It meets Grade 0 requirements (−40°C to +125°C operating temperature), undergoes stress testing per JEDEC JESD22, and is manufactured in ISO/TS 16949-certified facilities. Its transient immunity, guaranteed reset validity down to VCC = 1V, and 125°C operation make it suitable for engine control, body electronics, and ADAS subsystems.
