Product details
Overview
MAX6751KA26-T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit designed for dual-voltage monitoring (VCC and external RESET IN) with factory-trimmed 2.625V ±2% reset threshold, capacitor-adjustable reset timeout (5.7–9.5ms), and watchdog timeout (5.7–9.5ms normal / 729–1214ms extended), used in automotive engine control units to ensure deterministic μP restart during brownout events.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6751KA26-T datasheet, MAX6751KA26-T pinout, MAX6751KA26-T application, or MAX6751KA26-T equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, SOT23-8 pin mapping, AEC-Q100 automotive qualification, reset transient immunity data, and validated alternative parts for critical power-monitoring designs.
Technical Context
The MAX6751KA26-T implements dual independent reset comparators: one monitors VCC against a factory-trimmed 2.625V threshold (±2% over −40°C to +125°C), the other monitors RESET IN against a fixed 1.235V threshold, enabling simultaneous supervision of core and I/O supply rails. It features separate SRT and SWT capacitor inputs for independent adjustment of reset and watchdog timeout periods using the formula t = 4.94×10⁶ × C (seconds).
A dedicated WDS input selects between normal (tWD) and extended (tWD × 128) watchdog modes; MR provides manual reset with 1μs minimum pulse width and 100ns glitch rejection; RESET output is open-drain or push-pull configurable and guaranteed valid down to VCC = 1V. The device operates from 1.2V to 5.5V and draws only 3.7μA at VCC ≤ 2.0V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.625V ±2% (factory-trimmed, −40°C to +125°C); ensures precise brownout detection without external resistor network |
| RESET IN Threshold | 1.235V ±0.019V; enables accurate monitoring of secondary voltage rail via external divider |
| Supply Current | 3.7μA typical at VCC ≤ 2.0V; minimizes quiescent load in battery-backed systems |
| Reset Timeout | 5.69–9.49ms (CSRT = 1500pF); programmable via capacitor to match μP reset timing requirements |
| Watchdog Timeout | 5.69–9.49ms (normal mode, CSWT = 1500pF) or 729–1214ms (extended mode); prevents runaway code in safety-critical firmware |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +125°C; fully specified for under-hood automotive applications per AEC-Q100 Grade 0 |
| Package | 8-pin SOT23 (K8+5 outline); surface-mount footprint compatible with high-density PCB layouts |
Pinout & Package
MAX6751KA26-T is housed in an 8-pin SOT23 package (outline 21-0078, land pattern 90-0176), RoHS-compliant, with thermal resistance θJA = 196°C/W on four-layer board.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RESET IN | Adjustable reset comparator input | High-impedance node for external resistor-divider; sets monitored voltage threshold as VMON_TH = 1.235 × (R1 + R2)/R2 |
| 2 - WDS | Watchdog select control | Pull to GND for normal watchdog timeout; pull to VCC to extend timeout by 128×; state change clears watchdog timer |
| 3 - SWT | Watchdog timeout capacitor input | Connect capacitor to GND to set tWD = 4.94×10⁶ × C; short to GND disables watchdog function |
| 4 - SRT | Reset timeout capacitor input | Connect capacitor to GND to set tRP = 4.94×10⁶ × C; determines duration RESET remains asserted after fault clearance |
| 5 - GND | Power ground reference | Return path for all internal circuits; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| 6 - WDI | Watchdog input | Falling edge resets watchdog timer; pulse width ≥300ns required; ignored while RESET is asserted |
| 7 - RESET | Active-low reset output | Open-drain or push-pull configurable; sinks ≥50μA at VOL ≤ 0.3V (VCC ≥ 1.0V); valid logic state guaranteed for VCC ≥ 1V |
| 8 - VCC | Supply voltage input | Power source (1.2–5.5V) and primary reset monitor rail; absolute max rating = +6.0V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-voltage monitoring | Simultaneously supervises VCC (2.625V ±2%) and external rail via RESET IN (1.235V ±0.019V), eliminating need for two discrete supervisors |
| Capacitor-adjustable timeouts | Independent SRT and SWT pins allow precise, board-level tuning of reset (5.7–9.5ms) and watchdog (5.7–9.5ms or 729–1214ms) delays without firmware changes |
| Extended watchdog mode | WDS pin enables 128× timeout extension-critical for long-loop firmware where standard watchdog periods are insufficient |
| Transient immunity | Guaranteed no false reset for VCC transients ≤50μs when falling 100mV below threshold-enables robust operation in noisy automotive environments |
| AEC-Q100 qualified | Qualified to Grade 0 (−40°C to +125°C), supporting deployment in engine control, transmission, and ADAS modules without derating |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar μP supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6750KA26-T | Same 2.625V VCC threshold and RESET IN input, but lacks WDS pin and extended watchdog mode; only normal-mode watchdog (tWD only) | Suitable for simpler systems where watchdog timeout never exceeds ~9.5ms; not viable for long-loop firmware requiring 128× extension | Select MAX6750KA26-T only if extended watchdog functionality is unnecessary and cost reduction is prioritized over design flexibility. |
| TLV809E26DBVR | Single-supply (2.63V ±1%) supervisor with fixed 200ms reset timeout; no RESET IN input, no watchdog, no capacitor adjustment | Applicable only for basic VCC-only monitoring with fixed timing; cannot replace dual-rail or adjustable-timing requirements of MAX6751KA26-T | Choose TLV809E26DBVR only for non-safety-critical consumer devices where dual monitoring, watchdog, and timing adjustability are excluded from spec. |
Compared with MAX6750KA26-T and TLV809E26DBVR, the MAX6751KA26-T uniquely combines dual-rail supervision, capacitor-adjustable reset/watchdog timing, and 128× watchdog extension-making it the sole option for AEC-Q100-compliant automotive systems requiring both precision brownout detection and flexible firmware watchdog coverage.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6751KA26-T?
The MAX6751KA26-T has a factory-trimmed VCC reset threshold of 2.625V ±2% over the full automotive temperature range (−40°C to +125°C), as confirmed in Table 2 of the datasheet under suffix "26". This value is laser-trimmed during production and does not require external resistors. The RESET IN input uses a separate fixed 1.235V ±0.019V threshold for monitoring secondary rails.
Does the MAX6751KA26-T support dual-voltage monitoring, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the MAX6751KA26-T supports true dual-voltage monitoring: Pin 8 (VCC) is monitored against its factory-set 2.625V threshold, while Pin 1 (RESET IN) is monitored against a fixed 1.235V internal reference. This allows independent supervision of two power rails-e.g., a 2.6V core supply and a 1.2V analog sensor rail-without external components. The device asserts RESET if either rail falls below its respective threshold.
How do I configure the watchdog timeout period on the MAX6751KA26-T?
Configure the watchdog timeout on the MAX6751KA26-T by connecting a capacitor (CSWT) between Pin 3 (SWT) and GND. For normal mode (WDS = GND), tWD = 4.94×10⁶ × CSWT seconds; for extended mode (WDS = VCC), tWD = 128 × that value. With CSWT = 1500pF, normal timeout is 7.41ms and extended is 949ms. Shorting SWT to GND disables the watchdog entirely.
Is the MAX6751KA26-T qualified for automotive applications, and what is its temperature rating?
Yes, the MAX6751KA26-T is AEC-Q100 qualified (Grade 0) and fully specified from −40°C to +125°C ambient temperature. Its electrical characteristics-including reset threshold accuracy, supply current, and timeout stability-are guaranteed across this range, making it suitable for under-hood automotive applications such as engine control units and ADAS modules.
What package type and footprint does the MAX6751KA26-T use?
The MAX6751KA26-T uses an 8-pin SOT23 package (package code K8+5, outline 21-0078, land pattern 90-0176). It is a surface-mount, RoHS-compliant package with 0.65mm pin pitch and standardized pad layout compatible with automated assembly. Thermal resistance is θJA = 196°C/W on a four-layer PCB, per JEDEC JESD51-7.
