Product details
Overview
MAX6751KA23+T from Analog Devices is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with dual-voltage monitoring (VCC and adjustable RESET IN), factory-trimmed 2.313V ±2% reset threshold, capacitor-adjustable 7.59ms reset timeout (CSRT = 1500pF), 128× extended watchdog mode, and open-drain active-low RESET output. It operates across -40°C to +125°C and is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive power-rail supervision.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6751KA23+T datasheet, MAX6751KA23+T pinout, MAX6751KA23+T application, or MAX6751KA23+T equivalent, this device supports critical μP reset and watchdog supervision in battery-powered controllers, intelligent instruments, and automotive ECUs where supply transient immunity and configurable timing are essential.
Technical Context
The MAX6751KA23+T implements dual-supply monitoring: a fixed 2.313V ±2% VCC reset comparator and an adjustable RESET IN input with 1.235V threshold referenced to external resistor dividers. Its watchdog timer uses SWT capacitor timing and WDS logic control to select normal (tWD = 4.94×10⁶ × CSWT) or extended (×128) timeout modes.
Reset assertion is guaranteed for VCC ≥ 1.0V; RESET remains valid down to 1V with ≤0.4V VOL at 3.2mA sink. The device features 3.7μA typical supply current at VCC ≤ 2.0V, ±100ns MR glitch rejection, and 200–300nA SRT/SWT ramp current for precise capacitor-based timing calibration.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.2V to 5.5V - supports single-cell LiFePO₄, 3.3V, and 5V systems without level-shifting |
| Reset Threshold Voltage | 2.313V ±2% - factory-trimmed for precise brownout detection on main VCC rail |
| Reset Timeout Period | 7.59ms (typ, CSRT = 1500pF) - sufficient for μP power-up initialization and clock stabilization |
| Watchdog Timeout (Extended) | 971.5ms (typ, CSWT = 1500pF) - enables long software execution cycles before watchdog service required |
| Supply Current | 3.7μA (typ, VCC ≤ 2.0V) - minimizes quiescent drain in always-on battery-backed applications |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C - fully specified for under-hood automotive and industrial embedded environments |
| RESET Output Type | Open-drain active-low - allows flexible pull-up to any voltage ≤6V for logic-level translation |
Pinout & Package
MAX6751KA23+T is housed in an 8-pin SOT23 package (Outline 21-0078, RoHS-compliant), measuring 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm, suitable for space-constrained PCB layouts in automotive and portable equipment.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RESET IN | Adjustable reset comparator input | Accepts external resistor-divider to monitor secondary supply (e.g., I/O rail); threshold = 1.235V |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Common return for all analog and digital functions; must be low-impedance connection |
| 3 - SWT | Watchdog timeout capacitor node | Connects to ground via CSWT to set base watchdog period (tWD = 4.94×10⁶ × CSWT) |
| 4 - SRT | Reset timeout capacitor node | Connects to ground via CSRT to set reset pulse width (tRP = 4.94×10⁶ × CSRT) |
| 5 - WDS | Watchdog mode select | Pull to GND for normal mode; pull to VCC for 128× extended timeout; state change clears watchdog timer |
| 6 - WDI | Watchdog input | Falling edge resets watchdog timer; must not float - tie to GND via 100kΩ if unused |
| 7 - RESET | Open-drain reset output | Active-low signal asserted during VCC/RESET IN undervoltage or watchdog fault; requires external pull-up |
| 8 - VCC | Power supply input | Primary supply rail monitored at 2.313V; powers internal circuitry and defines logic thresholds |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-voltage supervision | Simultaneously monitors VCC (2.313V fixed) and external rail via RESET IN (1.235V reference), enabling full-system power integrity checks |
| Capacitor-adjustable timing | Independent SRT and SWT pins allow precise, board-level tuning of reset and watchdog periods without firmware changes |
| 128× extended watchdog mode | WDS-controlled scaling eliminates need for large timing capacitors, reducing BOM count and PCB area |
| Transient-immune reset assertion | Guaranteed immunity to ≤50µs transients 100mV below threshold - prevents spurious resets in noisy automotive environments |
| AEC-Q100 qualification | Qualified to Grade 0 (-40°C to +125°C), meeting automotive reliability and stress-test requirements for safety-critical ECUs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6750KA23+T | Same 2.313V VCC threshold and RESET IN input, but push-pull RESET output instead of open-drain | Requires no external pull-up; unsuitable for level-shifting or wired-OR reset buses | Select when driving a single μP reset pin directly and board space permits slightly higher drive strength |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Fixed 3.3V reset threshold only; no adjustable RESET IN; 300ms fixed watchdog (no capacitor adjustment) | Lacks dual-rail monitoring and programmable timing; lower quiescent current (1.8μA) | Select for cost-sensitive 3.3V-only applications where timing flexibility and secondary rail supervision are unnecessary |
Compared with MAX6751KA23+T, MAX6750KA23+T offers identical supervision functionality but different output drive architecture, while TPS3808G33DBVR sacrifices adjustability and dual monitoring for ultra-low power and simplified BOM - making MAX6751KA23+T optimal for complex, multi-rail automotive and industrial designs requiring field-tunable timing.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6751KA23+T?
The MAX6751KA23+T has a factory-trimmed VCC reset threshold of 2.313V ±2% over -40°C to +125°C. This value is confirmed in Table 2 (suffix "23") of the datasheet and applies specifically to the VCC supply monitoring function. The RESET IN input uses a separate 1.235V ±0.8% threshold for external rail monitoring.
Does the MAX6751KA23+T support manual reset functionality?
No - the MAX6751KA23+T does not include a dedicated MR (manual reset) pin. Unlike MAX6746/MAX6747, it relies solely on VCC and RESET IN undervoltage detection and watchdog faults for reset assertion. Manual reset can be implemented externally by pulling RESET IN low via a switch, as described in Figure 3 of the datasheet.
How do I calculate the capacitor value for a 100ms watchdog timeout in extended mode?
For extended mode (WDS = VCC), use the base formula tWD = 4.94×10⁶ × CSWT, then divide by 128: CSWT = (100ms / 128) / 4.94×10⁶ = 158pF. A standard 150pF ceramic capacitor yields ~95ms timeout; verify with the "Extended-Mode Watchdog Timeout Period vs. CSWT" graph (MAX6746 toc02).
Is the MAX6751KA23+T pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX6746–MAX6753 family?
Yes - all MAX6746–MAX6753 variants share identical 8-pin SOT23 pinouts and footprint (Outline 21-0078). However, pin functionality differs: MAX6751 uses pins 1 (RESET IN), 5 (WDS), and 6 (WDI), whereas MAX6746 uses pin 1 as MR and lacks RESET IN. Always verify signal mapping per device selector guide.
What is the minimum VCC voltage at which RESET remains valid on the MAX6751KA23+T?
RESET is guaranteed functional for VCC ≥ 1.0V, with VOL ≤ 0.4V at 3.2mA sink current. Below 1.0V, output drive degrades; for applications requiring valid RESET down to 0V, a 100kΩ pulldown resistor is recommended - but only with push-pull variants (MAX6751KA23+T is open-drain and incompatible with this method).
