Product details
Overview
MAX6750KA26+ from Analog Devices is a dual-voltage microprocessor supervisory IC with factory-trimmed 2.625V VCC reset threshold (±2%), adjustable RESET IN monitoring, capacitor-programmable reset timeout (5.7–9.5ms), and standard watchdog timer. It asserts active-low RESET during brownout, power-up, or manual reset, and is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive systems requiring robust voltage supervision.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6750KA26+ datasheet, MAX6750KA26+ pinout, MAX6750KA26+ application, or MAX6750KA26+ equivalent, this device supports dual-supply monitoring (VCC + external VMON_TH), offers ±2% threshold accuracy over –40°C to +125°C, provides 3.7µA supply current at 2V, and delivers guaranteed RESET validity down to VCC = 1V - critical for low-power embedded controllers and battery-backed systems.
Technical Context
The MAX6750KA26+ integrates two independent reset comparators: one monitors VCC against a factory-trimmed 2.625V threshold (±2%), while the second monitors an externally set voltage via RESET IN using a resistor divider referenced to 1.235V. Its reset timeout period (tRP) and watchdog timeout (tWD) are independently set by capacitors CSRT and CSWT, each scaled by 4.94×10⁶ s/F.
This variant belongs to the MAX6746–MAX6753 family and implements standard (non-windowed) watchdog functionality with WDS-selectable 128× extended mode. It features push-pull RESET output, no manual reset input (MR), and supports dual-voltage monitoring without requiring external logic - enabling simultaneous supervision of core and I/O rails in automotive ECUs and industrial controllers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Reset Threshold | 2.625V ±2% - factory-trimmed for precise brownout detection at nominal 2.6V rail |
| RESET IN Threshold | 1.235V ±0.8% - enables adjustable monitoring of secondary supply via resistor divider |
| Supply Current | 3.7µA at VCC ≤ 2.0V - ultra-low quiescent draw for battery-critical applications |
| Reset Timeout Range | 0.51–9.49ms - programmable via 100pF–1500pF capacitor on SRT pin |
| Watchdog Timeout Range | 0.51–9.49ms (normal) or 64.8–1214ms (extended) - selectable via CSWT and WDS pin |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - fully specified for under-hood automotive environments |
| RESET Output Type | Push-pull active-low - eliminates need for external pullup; drives directly into µP reset input |
Pinout & Package
MAX6750KA26+ is housed in an 8-pin SOT23 package (package code K8+5A), measuring 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm, with gull-wing leads optimized for high-density PCB layouts and automotive reflow profiles.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RESET IN | Adjustable reset comparator input | Accepts external resistor-divider to monitor secondary supply (e.g., 3.3V I/O rail); threshold fixed at 1.235V |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all internal comparators, timers, and output stage |
| 3 - VCC | Main supply input | Power source and monitored rail; supports 1.2V–5.5V operation with reset asserted below 2.625V |
| 4 - RESET | Active-low reset output | Push-pull driver capable of sinking 1.2mA at 2.7V; asserts low for full tRP after fault clearance |
| 5 - SWT | Watchdog timeout capacitor input | Connects to ground via CSWT to set tWD; WDS pin selects normal/extended mode |
| 6 - SRT | Reset timeout capacitor input | Connects to ground via CSRT to set tRP; timing governed by 4.94×10⁶ × CSRT (seconds) |
| 7 - WDS | Watchdog mode select | Pulled to GND for normal tWD; pulled to VCC for 128× extended timeout; state change clears watchdog timer |
| 8 - WDI | Watchdog input | Falling edge resets watchdog counter; must occur within tWD window or triggers RESET assertion |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-voltage supervision | Simultaneously monitors VCC (2.625V) and external rail (via RESET IN) - eliminates need for second supervisor in multi-rail systems |
| Capacitor-adjustable timing | Independent SRT/CSRT and SWT/CSWT networks allow precise, board-level tuning of reset and watchdog delays without firmware changes |
| AEC-Q100 qualification | Qualified to Grade 0 (–40°C to +125°C) with robust transient immunity - meets automotive reliability requirements out-of-box |
| Push-pull RESET output | Drives µP reset pin directly without pullup resistor; guarantees valid logic state down to VCC = 1V - simplifies BOM and layout |
| Power supply transient immunity | Rejects 50µs transients dipping 100mV below VTH - prevents spurious resets in noisy automotive electrical environments |
Applications
| Automotive Engine Control Unit (ECU) | Industrial PLC Power Management |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6751KA26+ | Same VCC threshold (2.625V) and dual-monitoring capability, but includes manual-reset input (MR) pin instead of WDI | Preferred where operator-initiated reset is required (e.g., field-serviceable gateways); lacks watchdog input for autonomous fault detection | Select MAX6751KA26+ only if hardware MR switch is mandatory; otherwise MAX6750KA26+ offers superior runtime watchdog coverage |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Fixed 3.3V VCC threshold, no adjustable RESET IN, lower ICC (1.8µA), but no WDS-selectable extended watchdog mode | Suitable for single-rail 3.3V systems only; cannot monitor secondary voltage or support extended watchdog timeout for slow-boot MCUs | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR for cost-sensitive 3.3V-only designs; MAX6750KA26+ remains optimal for dual-rail, automotive-temp, and extended-timing needs |
Compared with MAX6751KA26+, MAX6750KA26+ trades manual reset for watchdog input - enabling autonomous recovery from software hangs without user intervention. Against TPS3808G33DBVR, it adds dual-voltage monitoring and 128× extended watchdog, at the cost of higher ICC and larger footprint - justifying its use in safety-critical, multi-rail automotive and industrial systems.

FAQ
What is the exact factory-trimmed VCC reset threshold voltage for MAX6750KA26+?
The MAX6750KA26+ has a factory-trimmed VCC reset threshold of 2.625V with ±2% tolerance over –40°C to +125°C, corresponding to suffix "26" per Table 2 in the datasheet. This value is laser-trimmed during production and does not require external calibration - ensuring consistent brownout detection across automotive temperature extremes.
Does MAX6750KA26+ support monitoring of two independent supply rails simultaneously?
Yes, MAX6750KA26+ supports true dual-voltage monitoring: it monitors VCC against its internal 2.625V threshold while simultaneously monitoring a second rail (e.g., 3.3V I/O) via the RESET IN pin, which compares against a fixed 1.235V reference. RESET asserts if either rail falls below its respective threshold - eliminating need for a second supervisor IC.
How is the watchdog timeout period configured on MAX6750KA26+?
The MAX6750KA26+ uses capacitor CSWT on the SWT pin to set base watchdog timeout (tWD = 4.94×10⁶ × CSWT seconds). The WDS pin selects between normal mode (WDS = GND) and extended mode (WDS = VCC), multiplying tWD by 128. No pin strapping or firmware is needed - timing is purely analog and board-configurable.
What is the minimum VCC voltage at which MAX6750KA26+ guarantees valid RESET output logic?
MAX6750KA26+ guarantees correct RESET logic state (high/low) for VCC ≥ 1.0V. Below 1.0V, output drive strength degrades, but the device remains functional down to VCC = 1.2V minimum per Absolute Maximum Ratings. For applications requiring valid RESET down to 0V, a 100kΩ pulldown resistor is recommended on the push-pull RESET output.
Is MAX6750KA26+ pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX6746–MAX6753 family?
Yes, all MAX6746–MAX6753 variants share identical 8-pin SOT23 pinout and footprint (K8+5A), including MAX6750KA26+. However, pin functionality differs across subtypes - e.g., MAX6750 uses pin 1 for RESET IN, while MAX6746 uses it for MR. Always verify signal mapping per device-specific pin table before substitution.
