Product details
Overview
MAX6751KA46+T from Analog Devices is a low-power microprocessor supervisory IC that monitors dual supply voltages (VCC and external RESET IN), provides capacitor-adjustable reset timeout (5.7–9.5 ms) and watchdog timeout (5.7–9.5 ms normal / 729–1214 ms extended), and features ±2% factory-trimmed 4.625V VCC reset threshold with hysteresis. It serves as a system-level safety monitor in automotive engine control units requiring AEC-Q100 qualification and robust transient immunity.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6751KA46+T datasheet, MAX6751KA46+T pinout, MAX6751KA46+T application, or MAX6751KA46+T equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-voltage monitoring capability, manual-reset input support, push-pull active-low RESET output, 3.7µA quiescent current at 1.8V, and guaranteed RESET validity down to VCC = 1V - all validated for operation across –40°C to +125°C.
Technical Context
The MAX6751KA46+T implements dual-threshold supervision: a factory-trimmed 4.625V ±2% comparator for VCC and an adjustable 1.235V ±0.019V comparator for external voltage monitoring via RESET IN pin. Its reset timeout (tRP) and watchdog timeout (tWD) are independently set using external capacitors CSRT and CSWT, with tRP = 4.94×10⁶ × CSRT and tWD = 4.94×10⁶ × CSWT (normal mode).
A dedicated WDS pin enables 128× watchdog timeout extension by switching between ground (normal) and VCC (extended) states; this toggle clears the internal watchdog timer. The device asserts RESET low on VCC drop below 4.625V, RESET IN drop below 1.235V, or MR pull-down, holding RESET low for tRP after recovery.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold Voltage | 4.625V ±2% (VCC), 1.235V ±0.019V (RESET IN) - ensures precise brownout detection for both primary supply and auxiliary rail |
| Supply Current | 3.7µA typical at VCC ≤ 2.0V - enables battery-backed systems to maintain supervision >10 years on coin cell |
| Reset Timeout Period | 5.69–9.49 ms (CSRT = 100–1500 pF) - configurable to match µP power-up stabilization time |
| Watchdog Timeout | 5.69–9.49 ms (normal), 729–1214 ms (extended) - supports both fast-fault detection and long software cycles |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - fully specified for under-hood automotive applications per AEC-Q100 Grade 0 |
| RESET Output Type | Push-pull active-low - eliminates need for external pull-up resistor and simplifies interface to 1.8V/3.3V/5V µP reset inputs |
| Power Supply Range | 1.2V to 5.5V - supports supervision of modern low-voltage logic rails and legacy 5V systems |
Pinout & Package
MAX6751KA46+T is housed in an 8-pin SOT23 package (outline 21-0078, land pattern 90-0176), measuring 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm, with RoHS-compliant lead finish and thermal resistance θJA = 196°C/W on four-layer board.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET IN | High-impedance input for external voltage monitoring; sets adjustable reset threshold at 1.235V via resistor divider |
| 2 | GND | System ground reference for all analog comparators and digital logic |
| 3 | VCC | Main supply input (1.2–5.5V); powers internal circuitry and enables fixed 4.625V VCC reset monitoring |
| 4 | RESET | Push-pull active-low reset output; drives µP reset pin directly without pull-up; valid down to VCC = 1V |
| 5 | SWT | Watchdog timeout capacitor input; connects to GND to set tWD (normal/extended) or to disable watchdog |
| 6 | SRT | Reset timeout capacitor input; connects to GND to set tRP duration (5.7–9.5 ms range) |
| 7 | WDS | Watchdog select input; grounded for normal mode, tied to VCC for 128× extended timeout; clears timer on transition |
| 8 | MR | Manual-reset input; internally pulled up to VCC; falling edge ≥1µs asserts RESET for full tRP duration |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-voltage supervision | Simultaneously monitors VCC (4.625V ±2%) and external rail (via RESET IN at 1.235V) - eliminates need for second supervisor in multi-rail systems |
| Capacitor-adjustable timing | Independent CSRT and CSWT capacitors set reset and watchdog timeouts with 5:1 range each - avoids firmware dependency and enables hardware-only tuning |
| 128× watchdog extension | WDS pin toggles between normal and extended modes - supports both short-cycle firmware checks and long background task supervision |
| Transient-immune reset | Rejects VCC glitches ≤50µs when overdrive is ≤100mV - prevents spurious resets during ECU load-dump transients |
| AEC-Q100 qualified | Qualified to Grade 0 (–40°C to +125°C) with guaranteed parametric performance - meets automotive functional safety baseline requirements |
| Low-voltage operation | Guaranteed RESET assertion and timing down to VCC = 1.2V - enables supervision of ultra-low-power MCUs in sleep mode |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6750KA46+T | Same 4.625V VCC threshold and dual-supply monitoring, but lacks manual-reset (MR) input | Suitable where external reset initiation is unnecessary; identical pinout and timing | Select MAX6750KA46+T only if MR functionality is unused - saves no cost but removes one PCB trace |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Fixed 3.3V reset threshold only; no adjustable RESET IN input; 1.6µA ICC vs. 3.7µA; no WDS extend mode | Limited to single-rail 3.3V systems; requires external circuitry for dual-voltage or extended watchdog needs | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR only for cost-sensitive 3.3V-only designs where dual monitoring and watchdog flexibility are not required |
Compared with MAX6750KA46+T, the MAX6751KA46+T adds MR functionality without altering timing, package, or supply specs - making it the preferred choice when operator-initiated reset is needed. Versus TPS3808G33DBVR, MAX6751KA46+T delivers broader voltage coverage, dual-rail capability, and programmable watchdog extension at higher quiescent current - justifying its use in safety-critical multi-rail systems.

FAQ
What is the factory-trimmed reset threshold voltage for MAX6751KA46+T?
The MAX6751KA46+T has a factory-trimmed VCC reset threshold of 4.625V ±2% (minimum 4.533V, maximum 4.718V) across –40°C to +125°C. This value is confirmed in Table 2 of the datasheet under suffix "46", and applies specifically to the VCC supply monitoring function - independent of the adjustable 1.235V RESET IN threshold.
Does MAX6751KA46+T support manual reset functionality?
Yes, MAX6751KA46+T includes a dedicated MR (manual-reset) input on Pin 8. It is internally pulled up to VCC, requires no external components, and asserts RESET for the full timeout period when held low for ≥1µs. This feature is explicitly listed in the Selector Guide for MAX6751 and verified in the Pin Descriptions section.
How is the watchdog timeout extended by 128× on MAX6751KA46+T?
The MAX6751KA46+T uses the WDS (Watchdog Select) pin (Pin 7) to enable 128× watchdog extension: connecting WDS to VCC selects extended mode, while grounding it selects normal mode. A state change on WDS clears the watchdog timer - a behavior documented in the Pin Descriptions and Watchdog Timer sections of the datasheet.
What package type and dimensions does MAX6751KA46+T use?
MAX6751KA46+T is supplied in an 8-pin SOT23 package (outline number 21-0078), with body dimensions of 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm and lead pitch of 0.65mm. The land pattern number is 90-0176, and thermal resistance is θJA = 196°C/W on a four-layer board - all confirmed in the Package Information section.
Can MAX6751KA46+T monitor two different supply voltages simultaneously?
Yes, MAX6751KA46+T performs true dual-voltage monitoring: it uses its internal 4.625V comparator for VCC and the RESET IN pin (Pin 1) to monitor an external voltage via a resistor divider referenced to the 1.235V internal threshold. This capability is explicitly stated in the General Description and confirmed in the Selector Guide for MAX6751.
