Product details
Overview
The MAX6747KA46 from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with factory-trimmed 4.625V ±2% VCC reset threshold, manual reset input (MR), push-pull active-low RESET output, and capacitor-adjustable reset/watchdog timeout delays. It monitors single-supply systems in automotive environments and asserts reset during brownout, power-up, or manual trigger events. Designed for critical µP monitoring in battery-powered and intelligent instrumentation applications.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6747KA46 datasheet, MAX6747KA46 pinout, MAX6747KA46 application, or MAX6747KA46 equivalent, this device offers verified dual-mode watchdog capability (normal/extended), guaranteed RESET validity down to VCC ≥ 1V, transient-immune reset assertion, and SOT23-8 packaging compatible with high-density automotive PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MAX6747KA46 implements a fixed-threshold VCC monitor (4.625V ±2%) with hysteresis of 0.8%, manual reset input (MR) with 1µs minimum pulse width and 100ns glitch rejection, and capacitor-programmable reset timeout (tRP = 5.06 × 10⁶ × CSRT). Its watchdog timer operates in normal mode only (no WDS pin), with timeout adjustable via SWT capacitor and cleared by WDI falling edges.
This variant lacks windowed watchdog (no SET0/SET1), extended watchdog select (no WDS), and adjustable RESET IN monitoring - confirming it is a fixed-VCC, MR-enabled, non-windowed member of the MAX6746–MAX6753 family. All specifications are fully characterized over −40°C to +125°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Reset Threshold | 4.625V ±2% - factory-trimmed for precise 4.5–4.75V supply monitoring without external resistors |
| Supply Current | 3.7µA at VCC ≤ 2.0V - enables multi-year operation in battery-backed systems |
| Reset Timeout Range | 0.506ms to 9.487ms - set by 100pF–1500pF capacitor on SRT pin for flexible µP initialization timing |
| Watchdog Timeout Range | 0.506ms to 9.487ms - set by 100pF–1500pF capacitor on SWT pin; no extended mode (WDS absent) |
| RESET Output Type | Push-pull active-low - drives µP reset pin directly without external pullup; VOL ≤ 0.4V at 3.2mA sink |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial embedded control |
| Power-Supply Transient Immunity | Rejects 50µs transients ≤100mV below VTH - prevents spurious resets during EMI or load-switching events |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin SOT23-8, surface-mount, lead-free compatible (replace "-T" with "+T" for RoHS-compliant ordering).
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | MR (Manual Reset Input) | Internally pulled up to VCC; assert low ≥1µs to trigger full reset timeout period; rejects 100ns glitches |
| 2 | SWT (Watchdog Timeout Input) | Connect capacitor to GND to set normal-mode watchdog timeout (tWD = 5.06×10⁶ × CSWT); no WDS pin → no extended mode |
| 3 | SRT (Reset Timeout Input) | Capacitor-to-GND sets reset timeout (tRP = 5.06×10⁶ × CSRT); enables precise power-on reset hold time tuning |
| 4 | GND | Ground reference for all internal comparators, timers, and output driver |
| 5 | RESET | Push-pull active-low output; sinks ≥3.2mA at VCC ≥4.5V; valid logic state guaranteed for VCC ≥1V |
| 6 | WDI (Watchdog Input) | Falling-edge-triggered; clears watchdog timer; pulses as short as 300ns accepted; ignored during RESET assertion |
| 7 | VCC | Supply input (1.2V–5.5V) and monitored voltage source; powers internal circuitry and enables VCC threshold detection |
| 8 | NC | No connect - pin 8 is unconnected in MAX6747; not bonded internally |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-trimmed 4.625V reset threshold | Eliminates external resistor divider, saving board space and BOM cost while ensuring ±2% accuracy over temperature |
| Capacitor-adjustable reset timeout | Enables precise matching to µP power-on requirements across diverse clock speeds and firmware boot sequences |
| Capacitor-adjustable watchdog timeout | Allows software-timed watchdog servicing without re-spinning hardware; supports 0.5–9.5ms range with standard ceramics |
| Manual reset with integrated pullup | Permits direct switch connection to MR pin-no external resistor or debounce circuit required |
| Guaranteed RESET validity down to VCC = 1V | Ensures deterministic µP reset behavior during brownout recovery, critical for fail-safe automotive subsystems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6746KA46 | Identical reset threshold (4.625V), 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 MAX6747KA46 when board-level manual reset switch integration is required without added components |
| TLV809E46DBZR | Fixed 4.63V reset threshold, 1.8–6V supply, 2.5µA ICC, but no watchdog or MR functionality | Single-function reset IC only; cannot replace MAX6747KA46 in designs requiring watchdog supervision | Choose TLV809E46DBZR only for cost-sensitive, watchdog-free applications needing minimal quiescent current |
Compared with MAX6746KA46 and TLV809E46DBZR, the MAX6747KA46 uniquely combines factory-trimmed 4.625V monitoring, integrated manual reset, and capacitor-adjustable watchdog in one SOT23-8 package - enabling compact, robust µP supervision without design compromises.

FAQ
What is the exact factory-trimmed reset threshold voltage of the MAX6747KA46?
The MAX6747KA46 has a factory-trimmed VCC reset threshold of 4.625V with ±2% tolerance over −40°C to +125°C. This value is confirmed in Table 2 of the datasheet under suffix "46", and is implemented without external components. The MAX6747KA46 does not support adjustable RESET IN monitoring - its supervision is strictly fixed-threshold on VCC.
Does the MAX6747KA46 support extended watchdog timeout mode?
No, the MAX6747KA46 does not support extended watchdog timeout mode. Unlike MAX6746–MAX6751 variants with a WDS pin, the MAX6747KA46 lacks WDS functionality - its watchdog operates only in normal mode with timeout determined solely by the SWT capacitor. The MAX6747KA46 datasheet pin configuration confirms pin 5 is NC, not WDS.
What is the function of pin 8 on the MAX6747KA46?
Pin 8 on the MAX6747KA46 is a no-connect (NC) terminal - it is not bonded internally and must remain unconnected on the PCB. This is explicitly stated in the Pin Description table and confirmed by the MAX6747-specific pin configuration diagram, which shows pin 8 as unassigned. Connecting pin 8 may cause undefined behavior.
Can the MAX6747KA46 monitor two supply voltages simultaneously?
No, the MAX6747KA46 monitors only the VCC supply voltage using its fixed 4.625V threshold. It does not include RESET IN functionality (unlike MAX6748–MAX6751) or dual-threshold architecture (unlike MAX6750/MAX6751). The MAX6747KA46 is a single-supply supervisor with manual reset input - dual-voltage monitoring requires a different family member.
What is the minimum VCC voltage at which RESET remains valid for the MAX6747KA46?
The MAX6747KA46 guarantees valid RESET logic state for VCC ≥ 1V. Below 1V, output drive strength degrades significantly. This specification is explicitly stated in the Features list and Electrical Characteristics table. For applications requiring RESET validity down to 0V, an external pulldown resistor is recommended - but only with push-pull output variants like the MAX6747KA46.
