Product details
Overview
MAX6751KA29 from Maxim Integrated is a capacitor-adjustable microprocessor supervisory circuit with dual-voltage monitoring (VCC and external RESET IN), factory-trimmed 2.925V ±2% VCC reset threshold, and adjustable watchdog timeout via SWT pin. It asserts an active-low RESET output for programmable duration after brownout, manual reset, or watchdog fault-used in automotive engine control units requiring robust power-up sequencing and fail-safe restart under transient conditions.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6751KA29 datasheet, MAX6751KA29 pinout, MAX6751KA29 application, or MAX6751KA29 equivalent, this device supports precise reset timing calibration, immunity to sub-50µs VCC transients at 100mV overdrive, dual-supply monitoring for rail redundancy validation, and automotive-grade operation from −40°C to +125°C.
Technical Context
The MAX6751KA29 integrates a fixed 2.925V ±2% VCC monitor and an adjustable RESET IN comparator (1.235V threshold) enabling dual-rail supervision-e.g., monitoring both 3.3V core and 1.8V I/O supplies. Its reset timeout (tRP) and watchdog timeout (tWD) are independently set via external capacitors CSRT and CSWT using the linear scaling factor 5.06×10⁶ s/F.
This variant includes manual reset (MR) input with 1µs minimum pulse width and 100ns glitch rejection, push-pull RESET output guaranteed functional down to VCC = 1V, and WDS-controlled 128× watchdog extension-distinguishing it from windowed watchdog variants (MAX6752/MAX6753) and non-MR versions (MAX6748/MAX6749).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Reset Threshold | 2.925V ±2% (factory-trimmed); ensures reliable reset assertion during 3.3V rail brownout with ±58.5mV tolerance. |
| RESET IN Threshold | 1.235V ±1.5%; enables precise external voltage monitoring (e.g., 1.8V supply via resistor divider) independent of VCC. |
| Supply Current | 3.7µA at VCC ≤ 2.0V; ultra-low quiescent draw preserves battery life in always-on automotive modules. |
| Reset Timeout Range | 0.506ms to 9.487ms (CSRT = 100pF to 1500pF); covers µP initialization windows from fast Cortex-M0 to legacy 8051. |
| Watchdog Timeout Range | 0.506ms–9.487ms normal / 64.77ms–1214.4ms extended (CSWT = 100pF–1500pF); supports software service intervals from 1ms to >1s. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +125°C; qualified for under-hood automotive applications per AEC-Q100 stress requirements. |
| RESET Output Type | Push-pull active-low; eliminates external pull-up resistor, simplifies interface to µP reset pins with rail-to-rail drive. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6751KA29 is housed in an 8-pin SOT23-8 package (2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm), optimized for space-constrained automotive PCBs and compatible with standard reflow profiles including lead-free soldering.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - MR | Manual Reset Input | Internally pulled up to VCC; falling edge ≥1µs asserts RESET-enables hardware reset button without external components. |
| 2 - RESET IN | Adjustable Reset Comparator Input | High-impedance node (±1nA leakage); connects to resistor divider to set external voltage threshold (e.g., 1.8V rail). |
| 3 - SWT | Watchdog Timeout Capacitor Input | Connects to ground via CSWT; sets basic watchdog period tWD = 5.06×10⁶ × CSWT (seconds), extendable 128× via WDS. |
| 4 - SRT | Reset Timeout Capacitor Input | Connects to ground via CSRT; sets reset pulse width tRP = 5.06×10⁶ × CSRT (seconds); decouples reset timing from watchdog logic. |
| 5 - GND | Ground Reference | Common return for all analog and digital functions; requires low-impedance PCB connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| 6 - WDS | Watchdog Select Input | Pulled to GND for normal mode (tWD), to VCC for extended mode (128×tWD); state change clears watchdog timer. |
| 7 - RESET | Active-Low Reset Output | Push-pull driver; sinks ≥3.2mA at VCC ≥4.5V; guarantees valid logic state for VCC ≥1V-critical for brownout recovery. |
| 8 - VCC | Power Supply Input | Monitored supply rail (1.2V–5.5V); powers internal circuitry and provides reference for VCC reset comparator. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6750KA29 | Same 2.925V VCC threshold and dual-monitoring capability, but lacks MR pin-requires external reset switch circuitry. | Suitable for designs where manual reset is implemented via system-level GPIO rather than dedicated hardware button. | Select MAX6750KA29 only if MR functionality is unnecessary and PCB layout prioritizes minimal external components for RESET IN path. |
| TLV803EB29DBVR | Fixed 2.93V reset threshold, no adjustable RESET IN, no watchdog, SOT-23-5 package-simpler function set and smaller footprint. | Applicable in cost-sensitive, single-rail applications like body control modules where watchdog is handled by µP firmware. | Choose TLV803EB29DBVR when dual monitoring, capacitor-adjustable timing, and hardware watchdog are not required. |
Compared with MAX6751KA29, MAX6750KA29 removes manual reset capability but retains identical dual-supply supervision and timing adjustability, whereas TLV803EB29DBVR reduces feature count to basic reset-only operation in a smaller 5-pin package-making it suitable only for non-safety-critical, single-rail use cases.

FAQ
What is the exact factory-trimmed reset threshold voltage for MAX6751KA29?
The MAX6751KA29 has a factory-trimmed VCC reset threshold of 2.925V with ±2% tolerance (2.867V to 2.984V) across −40°C to +125°C. This value is confirmed in Table 2 of the datasheet under suffix "29" and applies specifically to the MAX6751KA29-not inferred from adjacent suffixes. The RESET IN threshold remains fixed at 1.235V ±1.5%.
Does MAX6751KA29 support dual-voltage monitoring, and how is it configured?
Yes, MAX6751KA29 supports dual-voltage monitoring: VCC is monitored against its 2.925V threshold, while RESET IN monitors an external voltage via a resistor divider referenced to the internal 1.235V comparator. Configuration requires connecting RESET IN to the divider's center tap-no additional components needed. This enables simultaneous supervision of, e.g., a 3.3V MCU rail and 1.8V I/O rail.
How do I calculate the capacitor values for reset and watchdog timeout on MAX6751KA29?
Use CSRT = tRP / 5.06×10⁶ for reset timeout (tRP in seconds) and CSWT = tWD / 5.06×10⁶ for basic watchdog timeout (tWD in seconds). For extended mode (WDS = VCC), multiply tWD by 128 before calculating CSWT. Example: 100ms reset → CSRT = 100×10⁻³ / 5.06×10⁶ = 19.8nF; 1s extended watchdog → CSWT = (1/128) / 5.06×10⁶ ≈ 1.54nF.
Is the RESET output of MAX6751KA29 push-pull or open-drain, and what are its drive capabilities?
The MAX6751KA29 features a push-pull active-low RESET output. It guarantees VOL ≤ 0.4V at VCC ≥ 4.5V and ISINK = 3.2mA, and VOH ≥ 0.8×VCC at ISOURCE = 800µA. This eliminates need for external pull-up resistors and ensures direct interface to µP reset pins-even during brownout (VCC ≥ 1V).
What is the purpose of the WDS pin on MAX6751KA29, and how does it affect watchdog behavior?
The WDS pin on MAX6751KA29 selects watchdog mode: grounded for normal timeout (tWD), tied to VCC for extended mode (128×tWD). A state change on WDS clears the watchdog timer. This allows one capacitor value to serve both short-interval firmware servicing (e.g., 10ms) and long-duration fault detection (e.g., 1.28s), enhancing design flexibility without changing BOM.
