Product details
Overview
MAX6750KA16+ from Analog Devices is a dual-voltage microprocessor supervisory IC with factory-trimmed VCC reset threshold (1.575V ±2%) and adjustable RESET IN threshold, capacitor-programmable reset timeout (5.7–9.5ms typical), watchdog timer with normal mode, and push-pull active-low RESET output in 8-pin SOT23 package - used for brownout protection and fault recovery in automotive engine control units.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6750KA16+ datasheet, MAX6750KA16+ pinout, MAX6750KA16+ application, or MAX6750KA16+ equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, automotive-grade thermal performance (-40°C to +125°C), dual-supply monitoring capability, reset transient immunity, and AEC-Q100 qualification status required for safety-critical embedded systems design.
Technical Context
The MAX6750KA16+ integrates two independent reset comparators: one monitors VCC against a fixed 1.575V threshold (±2% over -40°C to +125°C), while the second monitors an external voltage via RESET IN with 1.235V ±1.5% threshold. It supports dual-voltage supervision - asserting RESET if either VCC drops below 1.575V or RESET IN falls below 1.235V.
It features capacitor-adjustable reset timeout (tRP = 4.94×10⁶ × CSRT) and normal-mode watchdog timeout (tWD = 4.94×10⁶ × CSWT), both programmable from ~0.5ms to >9ms using 100pF–1500pF ceramic capacitors. No extended watchdog mode or windowed watchdog - only standard single-fall watchdog as confirmed for MAX6750 in Selector Guide.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.2V to 5.5V - supports low-voltage microcontrollers and legacy 5V systems without level-shifting |
| Quiescent Current | 3.7µA at VCC ≤ 2.0V - enables multi-year battery life in always-on monitoring applications |
| VCC Reset Threshold | 1.575V ±2% (–40°C to +125°C) - factory-trimmed for precise brownout detection at ultra-low supply rails |
| RESET IN Threshold | 1.235V ±1.5% - enables accurate external voltage monitoring (e.g., 3.3V or 2.5V rails) via resistor divider |
| Reset Timeout Period | 5.69–9.49ms (CSRT = 1500pF) - long enough to ensure full μP power stabilization, short enough to minimize system downtime |
| Watchdog Timeout Period | 5.69–9.49ms (CSWT = 1500pF) - matches typical firmware service intervals for real-time embedded code |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - fully specified for under-hood automotive environments per AEC-Q100 Grade 0 |
Pinout & Package
MAX6750KA16+ is housed in an 8-pin SOT23 package (Outline 21-0078, Land Pattern 90-0176), RoHS-compliant, with 1.9mm × 2.8mm footprint and 0.95mm height - optimized for space-constrained automotive PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RESET IN | Adjustable reset comparator input | Accepts external voltage divider to monitor secondary rail (e.g., 3.3V I/O supply); asserts RESET if voltage falls below 1.235V |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all internal comparators and output driver; must be low-impedance for noise immunity |
| 3 - VCC | Main supply input | Power source and primary monitored rail; device guarantees valid RESET down to VCC ≥ 1.0V |
| 4 - RESET | Active-low push-pull reset output | Drives μP reset pin directly; sinks 50µA @ 0.3V max VOL; no external pull-up required |
| 5 - SWT | Watchdog timeout capacitor input | Connects to ground via CSWT to set normal-mode watchdog period (tWD = 4.94×10⁶ × CSWT) |
| 6 - SRT | Reset timeout capacitor input | Connects to ground via CSRT to set reset assertion duration (tRP = 4.94×10⁶ × CSRT) |
| 7 - WDI | Watchdog input | Falling edge resets watchdog timer; must be strobed within tWD to prevent spurious reset; requires 100kΩ pulldown if unused |
| 8 - WDS | Watchdog select input | Grounded for normal mode (default); tied to VCC for 128× extended timeout - functional on MAX6750 per pin config table |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent voltage monitoring | Simultaneously supervises VCC (1.575V) and external rail (via RESET IN at 1.235V) - eliminates need for two discrete supervisors in multi-rail systems |
| Capacitor-programmable timing | Separate SRT and SWT pins allow independent tuning of reset hold time and watchdog timeout using low-cost ceramic capacitors (100pF–1500pF) |
| Power-supply transient immunity | Rejects VCC glitches ≤50µs when falling 100mV below threshold - prevents false resets during load dump or switching noise |
| AEC-Q100 qualified | Qualified to Grade 0 (–40°C to +125°C ambient) with full automotive reliability testing - suitable for ECU, ADAS, and powertrain modules |
| Guaranteed RESET validity down to VCC = 1V | Ensures deterministic reset behavior during deep brownout conditions where many supervisors fail silently |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6751KA16+ | Includes manual-reset input (MR); same dual-monitoring, reset/watchdog thresholds, and timing architecture | Required where hardware-initiated reset (e.g., front-panel button) is mandatory per system safety architecture | Select MAX6751KA16+ only if MR functionality is needed; otherwise MAX6750KA16+ reduces BOM count and layout complexity |
| TPS3808G15DBVR | Single-rail supervision (1.5V threshold only); no adjustable RESET IN input; fixed 200ms watchdog; 1.5µA ICC | Suitable for simpler systems monitoring only VCC - lacks dual-rail capability and flexible timeout adjustment of MAX6750KA16+ | Choose TPS3808G15DBVR for cost-sensitive, single-supply designs where external rail monitoring is handled elsewhere |
Compared with MAX6751KA16+, MAX6750KA16+ removes MR pin to reduce pin count and simplify routing, while retaining identical dual-supply supervision and timing flexibility; versus TPS3808G15DBVR, it adds RESET IN monitoring and capacitor-adjustable timeouts at higher quiescent current - making it optimal for complex multi-rail automotive and industrial controllers.

FAQ
What is the factory-trimmed VCC reset threshold voltage for MAX6750KA16+?
The MAX6750KA16+ has a factory-trimmed VCC reset threshold of 1.575V with ±2% tolerance over –40°C to +125°C, as defined by the "16" suffix in its part number per Table 2. This value is laser-trimmed during production and does not require external components to set - enabling precise low-voltage brownout detection without calibration.
Does MAX6750KA16+ support dual-voltage monitoring, and how is the second rail configured?
Yes, MAX6750KA16+ supports dual-voltage monitoring: VCC is supervised at 1.575V, and a second rail is monitored via the RESET IN pin with a fixed 1.235V threshold. To configure the second rail, connect an external resistor divider between that rail and GND, with the midpoint fed to RESET IN - allowing supervision of common voltages like 3.3V or 2.5V using VMON_TH = 1.235 × (R1 + R2)/R2.
Can the watchdog timer on MAX6750KA16+ operate in extended mode, and how is it enabled?
Yes, the MAX6750KA16+ watchdog supports extended mode (128× timeout multiplication) via the WDS pin. When WDS is tied to VCC, the basic watchdog timeout (set by CSWT on SWT) is multiplied by 128 - e.g., a 1500pF capacitor yields ~975ms instead of ~7.6ms. A state change on WDS clears the watchdog timer, and the feature is confirmed functional for MAX6750 in the Pin Configurations table.
What is the minimum VCC voltage at which MAX6750KA16+ guarantees valid RESET output logic?
The MAX6750KA16+ guarantees valid RESET output logic for VCC ≥ 1.0V, meaning the push-pull RESET pin will correctly assert low or deassert high even as supply voltage decays. Below 1.0V, output behavior is not guaranteed - but this margin exceeds most microcontrollers' operational minimums, ensuring robust reset signaling during brownout.
Is MAX6750KA16+ qualified for automotive applications, and what is its temperature rating?
Yes, MAX6750KA16+ is AEC-Q100 qualified (Grade 0) and fully specified over –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature. Its thermal resistance (qJA = 196°C/W on four-layer board) and production testing across this range confirm suitability for under-hood automotive applications including engine control, transmission control, and body electronics modules.
