Product details
Overview
MAX6751KA46-T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with factory-trimmed 4.625V ±2% VCC reset threshold, capacitor-adjustable reset timeout (5.7–9.5ms), and watchdog timeout (5.7–9.5ms normal / 729–1214ms extended), designed for automotive-grade voltage monitoring in battery-powered controllers and embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6751KA46-T datasheet, MAX6751KA46-T pinout, MAX6751KA46-T application, or MAX6751KA46-T equivalent, this device delivers AEC-Q100 qualified single-supply supervision with manual reset input, push-pull or open-drain RESET output, and transient-immune operation down to VCC ≥ 1V - critical for reliable brownout recovery in automotive ECUs and portable medical instruments.
Technical Context
The MAX6751KA46-T implements dual-voltage supervision: factory-trimmed VCC monitoring at 4.625V and adjustable external voltage monitoring via RESET IN with 1.235V threshold. Its reset assertion is triggered by VCC drop below 4.625V, RESET IN falling below 1.235V, or MR pull-low, with guaranteed reset validity for VCC ≥ 1V.
It features a selectable watchdog timer with normal/extended modes (128× timeout scaling via WDS), capacitor-programmable timing (SRT for reset timeout, SWT for watchdog timeout), and internal ramp-based comparator architecture enabling precise, temperature-stable thresholds across –40°C to +125°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold Voltage | 4.625V ±2% (factory-trimmed); ensures accurate power-fail detection for 5V rail systems without external resistors |
| Supply Current | 3.7–10µA (VCC = 1.2–5.5V); enables multi-year battery life in portable medical and automotive sensors |
| Reset Timeout Period | 5.7–9.5ms (CSRT = 1500pF); programmable via external capacitor to match µP reset hold-time requirements |
| Watchdog Timeout | 5.7–9.5ms (normal) or 729–1214ms (extended mode); configurable via SWT capacitor and WDS logic level |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C; fully specified for under-hood automotive and industrial control applications |
| RESET Output Type | Push-pull or open-drain active-low; supports direct µP reset input or level-shifted interfacing up to 6V |
| Manual Reset Input | MR pin with 12–28kΩ internal pullup; accepts momentary switch without external components |
Pinout & Package
MAX6751KA46-T is housed in an 8-pin SOT23 package (package code K8+5, outline 21-0078), optimized for space-constrained automotive and portable designs. Thermal resistance is 196°C/W (Junction-to-Ambient, four-layer board).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET IN | High-impedance input for external voltage monitoring; sets threshold via resistor divider (1.235V reference) |
| 2 | WDS | Watchdog Select Input: GND = normal mode, VCC = 128× extended timeout; clears watchdog on state change |
| 3 | SWT | Watchdog Timeout Input: capacitor to GND sets base timeout period (tWD = 4.94×10⁶ × CSWT) |
| 4 | SRT | Reset Timeout Input: capacitor to GND sets reset pulse width (tRP = 4.94×10⁶ × CSRT) |
| 5 | GND | Ground reference for all analog and digital functions; must be low-impedance connection |
| 6 | WDI | Watchdog Input: falling edge resets watchdog timer; ignored during RESET assertion |
| 7 | RESET | Active-low reset output: push-pull or open-drain; asserts for full tRP after fault clearance |
| 8 | VCC | Supply input (1.0–5.5V); powers internal circuitry and serves as monitored voltage source |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-trimmed 4.625V reset threshold | Eliminates external resistor network for 5V system supervision, reducing BOM count and layout area |
| Capacitor-adjustable reset & watchdog timeouts | Enables precise timing alignment with µP boot sequence and firmware watchdog service intervals |
| 128× watchdog timeout extension | Supports long-latency firmware operations (e.g., flash programming) without compromising safety coverage |
| Power-supply transient immunity | Rejects ≤50µs transients down to 100mV below threshold - critical for noisy automotive 12V supply rails |
| AEC-Q100 qualification | Validated for automotive applications including engine control, ADAS sensors, and body electronics |
Applications
| Automotive Engine Control Unit (ECU) | Portable Medical Infusion Pump |
|---|---|

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 | Dual-voltage monitor with same 4.625V VCC threshold but adds adjustable RESET IN monitoring; no WDS pin (fixed watchdog only) | Lacks 128× watchdog extension; suitable for simpler systems where extended timeout is unnecessary | Select MAX6750KA46-T when dual-rail monitoring is required but extended watchdog functionality is not needed. |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Fixed 3.3V reset threshold, 200ms fixed watchdog, no capacitor adjustment; 1.5µA typical ICC | Not suitable for 5V systems or applications requiring customizable timeout periods | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR only for cost-sensitive 3.3V-only applications with static timing needs. |
Compared with MAX6751KA46-T, MAX6750KA46-T provides identical reset accuracy but sacrifices watchdog flexibility, while TPS3808G33DBVR offers lower current but lacks programmability and 5V compatibility - making MAX6751KA46-T optimal for automotive and dual-rail industrial designs requiring timing adaptability.

FAQ
What is the exact factory-trimmed reset threshold voltage for MAX6751KA46-T?
The MAX6751KA46-T has a factory-trimmed VCC reset threshold of 4.625V with ±2% tolerance over –40°C to +125°C, as confirmed in Table 2 (suffix "46") and Electrical Characteristics. This value is laser-trimmed at wafer test and does not require external resistor calibration.
Does MAX6751KA46-T support dual-voltage monitoring?
Yes, MAX6751KA46-T supports dual-voltage monitoring: it monitors VCC at its factory-set 4.625V threshold and simultaneously monitors an external voltage via the RESET IN pin using a 1.235V internal reference. This enables supervision of both primary and auxiliary rails in a single device.
How is the watchdog timeout extended by 128× in MAX6751KA46-T?
In MAX6751KA46-T, connecting the WDS pin to VCC selects extended watchdog mode, multiplying the base timeout (set by CSWT) by 128×. For example, a 1500pF SWT capacitor yields ~7.6ms normal timeout and ~971ms extended timeout - verified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Extended Watchdog Timeout".
What is the minimum VCC required for MAX6751KA46-T to guarantee valid RESET output?
MAX6751KA46-T guarantees correct RESET logic state for VCC ≥ 1V, per Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics. Below 1V, RESET may become indeterminate unless a pulldown resistor is added (for push-pull variants) - a design consideration explicitly documented in the datasheet's "Ensuring a Valid RESET Down to VCC = 0V" section.
Is MAX6751KA46-T qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, MAX6751KA46-T is AEC-Q100 qualified and fully specified over the automotive temperature range (–40°C to +125°C). Its thermal resistance (196°C/W), transient immunity, and production testing across temperature ensure suitability for under-hood and body-control module deployments.
