Product details
Overview
MAX6751KA29-T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit designed for dual-voltage monitoring (VCC and external RESET IN) with factory-trimmed 2.925V ±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 reliable μP restart during brownout events.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6751KA29-T datasheet, MAX6751KA29-T pinout, MAX6751KA29-T application, or MAX6751KA29-T equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, SOT23-8 pin mapping, AEC-Q100 automotive qualification, transient-immune reset assertion down to VCC ≥ 1V, and capacitor-based timing configuration guidance.
Technical Context
The MAX6751KA29-T implements dual-supply supervision: one path monitors VCC against its factory-set 2.925V threshold, while a second high-impedance comparator monitors an externally derived voltage via RESET IN (1.235V threshold). Both paths feed into a shared reset logic block that asserts active-low RESET for a user-defined timeout after any threshold violation.
Its watchdog function operates in two modes-normal (capacitor-timed tWD) and extended (128× tWD via WDS pin)-and clears on WDI falling edges or RESET assertion. The device uses internal ramp-current comparators (250nA typical) on SRT/SWT pins to convert external capacitor values into precise timeout periods per t = 4.94×10⁶ × C.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
MAX6751KA29-T is housed in an 8-pin SOT23 package (package code K8+5, outline 21-0078), optimized for space-constrained automotive PCBs with thermal resistance θJA = 196°C/W on four-layer board.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RESET IN | Adjustable voltage monitor input | High-impedance node (±1nA leakage) for external resistor-divider; sets secondary reset threshold at 1.235V reference. |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Common return for all analog and digital functions; must be low-inductance connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| 3 - VCC | Main supply input | Power source for internal circuitry and VCC-monitoring path; accepts 1.2–5.5V with guaranteed RESET validity down to 1V. |
| 4 - RESET | Active-low reset output | Open-drain or push-pull output; sinks ≥50µA at VOL ≤ 0.3V (VCC ≥ 1.0V) to drive μP reset pin reliably. |
| 5 - SWT | Watchdog timeout capacitor terminal | Connects to ground via CSWT; sets watchdog period using tWD = 4.94×10⁶ × CSWT (seconds). |
| 6 - SRT | Reset timeout capacitor terminal | Connects to ground via CSRT; sets reset hold time using tRP = 4.94×10⁶ × CSRT (seconds). |
| 7 - WDS | Watchdog mode select | Pulled to GND for normal mode; pulled to VCC for 128× extended timeout; state change clears watchdog timer. |
| 8 - WDI | Watchdog input | Falling-edge-triggered; must toggle within selected watchdog window or RESET asserts for full tRP duration. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6750KA29-T | Same 2.925V VCC threshold and dual-monitor architecture, but lacks WDS pin and extended watchdog mode. | Suitable only where fixed watchdog timeout suffices; cannot support long-loop firmware requiring 128× extension. | Select MAX6750KA29-T if extended watchdog is unnecessary and pin count must be minimized (no WDS required). |
| TLV809E29DBVR | Single-supply 2.93V reset IC with fixed 200ms timeout; no adjustable timing, no watchdog, no RESET IN input. | Limited to basic VCC-only monitoring; cannot replace dual-rail or watchdog functionality of MAX6751KA29-T. | Choose TLV809E29DBVR only for cost-sensitive, non-safety-critical applications needing only simple power-on reset. |
Compared with MAX6750KA29-T and TLV809E29DBVR, the MAX6751KA29-T uniquely combines factory-trimmed dual-voltage supervision, capacitor-adjustable reset/watchdog timing, and 128× watchdog extension-making it the only option among the three qualified for AEC-Q100 automotive systems requiring adaptive fault recovery.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6751KA29-T?
The MAX6751KA29-T features a factory-trimmed VCC reset threshold of 2.925V ±2% over -40°C to +125°C. This value is confirmed in Table 2 of the datasheet (suffix "29") and applies specifically to the VCC monitoring path. The RESET IN input has a separate fixed 1.235V threshold used for external rail monitoring.
How do I configure the reset timeout period for the MAX6751KA29-T?
Connect a capacitor (CSRT) between the SRT pin (Pin 6) and GND. The reset timeout period is calculated as tRP = 4.94 × 10⁶ × CSRT seconds. For example, a 1500pF capacitor yields 7.41ms (typical). Use low-leakage ceramic capacitors; avoid electrolytics due to leakage-induced timing errors.
Does the MAX6751KA29-T support watchdog functionality, and how is it enabled?
Yes, the MAX6751KA29-T includes a capacitor-adjustable watchdog timer. Connect a capacitor (CSWT) between SWT (Pin 5) and GND to set the base timeout. Then use the WDS pin (Pin 7): tie to GND for normal mode (~8ms with 1500pF) or to VCC for 128× extended mode (~970ms). A falling edge on WDI (Pin 8) clears the timer.
Is the MAX6751KA29-T qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the MAX6751KA29-T is AEC-Q100 qualified (Grade 0) and fully specified over -40°C to +125°C. It meets automotive reliability standards including HTOL, temperature cycling, and ESD testing, making it suitable for under-hood and dashboard-mounted electronic control units.
Can the MAX6751KA29-T monitor two different supply voltages simultaneously?
Yes, the MAX6751KA29-T performs true dual-voltage monitoring: its VCC pin monitors the 2.925V threshold directly, while the RESET IN pin (Pin 1) monitors an external voltage using a 1.235V internal reference-enabling independent supervision of two rails such as 3.3V logic and 5V I/O in automotive ECUs.
