Product details
Overview
The MAX6749KA+T from Analog Devices is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with adjustable reset and watchdog timeout periods, ±2% factory-trimmed 4.9V reset threshold (suffix '49'), dual-voltage monitoring capability (VCC + RESET IN), and open-drain active-low RESET output. It operates across -40°C to +125°C and consumes only 4.2–9µA at VCC ≤ 3.3V, enabling reliable power-on reset and brownout protection in automotive ECUs and battery-powered controllers.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6749KA+T datasheet, MAX6749KA+T pinout, MAX6749KA+T application, or MAX6749KA+T equivalent, this device supports capacitor-adjustable reset timeout (tRP = 4.94×10⁶ × CSRT), adjustable watchdog timeout (tWD = 4.94×10⁶ × CSWT), manual-reset input via external switch, and AEC-Q100 qualified operation for critical embedded systems.
Technical Context
The MAX6749KA+T implements dual-voltage supervision: it monitors both VCC (factory-trimmed 4.9V threshold) and an external voltage via RESET IN (1.235V comparator input), asserting RESET if either falls below its respective threshold. Its reset timeout and watchdog timeout are independently set using external capacitors CSRT and CSWT connected to SRT and SWT pins.
This variant lacks WDS and MR pins but includes SET0/SET1 logic inputs for watchdog configuration - however, per the Selector Guide, MAX6749 does not support windowed watchdog (MAX6752/MAX6753 only) and instead provides standard watchdog with normal/extended mode selection disabled. It uses open-drain RESET output compatible with 0–6V pull-up voltages.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6750KA+T | Includes factory-trimmed VCC threshold (4.9V) AND adjustable RESET IN threshold; same pinout and timing | Supports true dual-rail monitoring without external resistor divider calibration | Select MAX6750KA+T when both VCC and external rail require independent, precision thresholds |
| TLV809EADBZR | Single 4.85V fixed threshold, no adjustable RESET IN, no watchdog, SOT23-3 package | Lacks dual monitoring, capacitor-adjustable timing, and watchdog - suitable only for basic reset-only use cases | Choose TLV809EADBZR only for cost-sensitive, space-constrained designs where watchdog and dual-rail features are unnecessary |
Compared with MAX6750KA+T, MAX6749KA+T omits the VCC monitor path, relying solely on RESET IN for external rail supervision - making it ideal when only one auxiliary rail needs monitoring. Versus TLV809EADBZR, MAX6749KA+T adds full watchdog functionality, dual-capacitor timing adjustment, and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive deployment.

FAQ
What is the factory-trimmed reset threshold voltage for MAX6749KA+T?
The MAX6749KA+T has a factory-trimmed VCC reset threshold of 4.900V to 4.998V (±2%) per suffix '49' in Table 2. This value is guaranteed over -40°C to +125°C and applies only to the VCC supply; the RESET IN input uses a separate 1.235V comparator reference. The MAX6749KA+T does not monitor VCC internally for reset - it relies on external monitoring via RESET IN, with VCC serving as the device's power source.
Does MAX6749KA+T support manual reset functionality?
No, MAX6749KA+T does not include a dedicated manual-reset (MR) input pin. Per the Selector Guide and Pin Configurations table, MAX6749 belongs to the MAX6748–MAX6751 group that uses RESET IN for external manual reset implementation - achieved by connecting a momentary switch in parallel with R2 in the voltage divider network. This method initiates reset by pulling RESET IN to ground, and the MAX6749KA+T asserts RESET for the full timeout period (tRP) after switch release.
What watchdog modes does MAX6749KA+T support?
MAX6749KA+T supports only standard watchdog timer operation (normal mode) with capacitor-adjustable timeout via CSWT on the SWT pin. It does not support extended mode (128× multiplier) because it lacks the WDS pin, nor does it support windowed watchdog (tWD1/tWD2) since those features are exclusive to MAX6752/MAX6753. The watchdog clears on any WDI falling edge and triggers RESET for the full tRP duration upon timeout.
Can MAX6749KA+T monitor two independent supply rails simultaneously?
Yes, MAX6749KA+T performs dual-voltage monitoring: it uses its internal 4.9V threshold to supervise the VCC supply (powering the IC itself), while the RESET IN pin monitors an external rail via a resistor divider referenced to 1.235V. When either VCC drops below 4.9V or the external rail falls below its calculated threshold (e.g., 3.3V set by R1/R2), RESET asserts. This architecture enables coordinated reset of µP and peripheral supplies without additional components.
Is MAX6749KA+T qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, MAX6749KA+T is AEC-Q100 qualified and fully specified over the automotive temperature range of -40°C to +125°C. Its electrical characteristics - including ±2% reset threshold accuracy, 3.7–10µA supply current, and guaranteed RESET validity down to VCC = 1V - are tested and guaranteed across this range. The 8-pin SOT23 package (K8+5A) meets automotive PCB assembly and thermal requirements per JEDEC JESD51-7.
