Product details
Overview
MAX6752KA16+ from Analog Devices is a window watchdog supervisory IC for microprocessor systems, featuring factory-trimmed 1.575V VCC reset threshold (±2%), capacitor-adjustable reset timeout (5.7–9.5ms), and dual-window watchdog with fast/slow fault detection (tWD1 = 11.4–152ms, tWD2 = 729–1214ms). It operates from 1.2V to 5.5V supply and delivers 3.7µA quiescent current, enabling reliable brownout and software fault monitoring in automotive ECUs.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6752KA16+ datasheet, MAX6752KA16+ pinout, MAX6752KA16+ application, or MAX6752KA16+ equivalent, this page provides verified circuit role (windowed µP supervisor), exact reset threshold (1.575V ±2%), watchdog timing architecture (SET0/SET1-configurable tWD1:tWD2 ratio), automotive temperature range (−40°C to +125°C), and SOT23-8 package mapping - all confirmed from Analog Devices' official MAX6746–MAX6753 datasheet Rev 23.
Technical Context
The MAX6752KA16+ implements a min/max (window) watchdog timer that asserts RESET when WDI falling edges occur either faster than tWD1 (fast fault) or slower than tWD2 (slow fault), with tWD1 selectable via SET0/SET1 pin strapping (8×, 16×, or 64× ratio relative to tWD2). Its reset function monitors only VCC (not RESET IN), using a factory-trimmed 1.575V threshold with 0.8% hysteresis.
Reset timeout (tRP) and slow watchdog period (tWD2) are set independently by external capacitors CSRT and CSWT respectively, using linear scaling formulas: tRP = 4.94×10⁶ × CSRT and tWD2 = 0.65×10⁹ × CSWT. The device uses push-pull RESET output and is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive use.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 1.575V ±2% (factory-trimmed); ensures precise brownout detection at low-voltage startup in 1.8V/2.5V systems. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.2V to 5.5V; supports operation across battery-backed, LDO-regulated, and multi-rail embedded systems. |
| Quiescent Current | 3.7µA at VCC ≤ 2.0V; enables >10-year battery life in always-on monitoring applications. |
| Reset Timeout | 5.69–9.49ms (CSRT = 1500pF); long enough to cover µP power-up sequencing, short enough to avoid system hang. |
| Slow Watchdog Period | 729–1214ms (CSWT = 1500pF); defines upper bound of valid WDI pulse interval for windowed fault detection. |
| Fast Watchdog Period | 11.4–152ms (SET0/SET1 configurable); defines lower bound - violation triggers immediate reset assertion. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +125°C; fully specified for under-hood automotive and industrial control environments. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6752KA16+ is housed in an 8-pin SOT23 package (Outline 21-0078, Land Pattern 90-0176), optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts in automotive and portable electronics. Thermal resistance is 196°C/W (Junction-to-Ambient, 4-layer board).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: RESET IN | Adjustable reset input | Not used in MAX6752KA16+ - device monitors VCC only; pin is NC (no connection) per MAX6752 pin configuration. |
| 2: SET0 | Watchdog window ratio select | Strapped low/high to configure tWD1:tWD2 ratio (8×, 16×, 64×) or disable watchdog (SET0=high, SET1=low). |
| 3: SWT | Slow watchdog timeout input | Capacitor-connected node setting tWD2 (slow fault window); formula: tWD2 = 0.65×10⁹ × CSWT. |
| 4: SRT | Reset timeout input | Capacitor-connected node setting tRP (reset assertion duration); formula: tRP = 4.94×10⁶ × CSRT. |
| 5: GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for internal comparators, ramp generators, and RESET output driver. |
| 6: SET1 | Watchdog window ratio select | Second control pin for tWD1 selection; used with SET0 to define 8×/16×/64× window ratio or disable watchdog. |
| 7: RESET | Push-pull reset output | Active-low output guaranteed valid down to VCC ≥ 1V; drives µP reset input directly without pullup. |
| 8: VCC | Supply voltage input | Power source and monitored rail; powers internal circuitry and feeds VCC reset comparator (1.575V threshold). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Window watchdog timer | Detects both fast (tWDI < tWD1) and slow (tWDI > tWD2) software faults - prevents runaway code and stuck loops. |
| Factory-trimmed VCC reset | 1.575V ±2% threshold eliminates external resistor divider, reducing BOM count and layout area in single-supply systems. |
| Capacitor-adjustable timing | Independent tuning of reset timeout (SRT) and slow watchdog period (SWT) enables precise alignment with µP boot time and firmware loop intervals. |
| AEC-Q100 qualification | Qualified for automotive applications including engine control, ADAS sensors, and body electronics requiring −40°C to +125°C operation. |
| Ultra-low supply current | 3.7µA at VCC ≤ 2.0V minimizes impact on battery-powered subsystems such as telematics wake-up monitors and CAN node supervisors. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6753KA16+ | Identical VCC reset threshold (1.575V) and window watchdog architecture, but features open-drain RESET output instead of push-pull. | Suitable where level-shifting to higher-voltage logic (e.g., 5V µP reset input) is required; requires external pullup resistor. | Select MAX6753KA16+ only if system-level interface demands open-drain drive; otherwise MAX6752KA16+ simplifies layout with direct push-pull drive. |
| TPS3808G15DBVR | Fixed 1.5V reset threshold (±0.5%), no window watchdog - only standard timeout-based watchdog with adjustable delay. | Applicable for basic reset + simple watchdog needs; lacks dual-window fault detection capability of MAX6752KA16+. | Choose TPS3808G15DBVR for cost-sensitive, non-safety-critical applications where fast/slow fault discrimination is unnecessary. |
Compared with MAX6753KA16+, MAX6752KA16+ offers simpler reset interface (no pullup needed), while versus TPS3808G15DBVR it provides superior fault coverage via windowed watchdog - critical for ISO 26262 or IEC 62304 compliance where both stuck and runaway code must be detected.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6752KA16+?
The MAX6752KA16+ has a factory-trimmed VCC reset threshold of 1.575V with ±2% tolerance over −40°C to +125°C, as specified in Table 2 (suffix "16") of the MAX6746–MAX6753 datasheet Rev 23. This value is fixed and does not require external resistor programming - the device does not use the RESET IN pin for monitoring.
Does the MAX6752KA16+ support dual-voltage monitoring?
No, the MAX6752KA16+ monitors only the VCC supply voltage using its internal 1.575V comparator. Unlike MAX6750/MAX6751 variants, it does not support adjustable RESET IN monitoring - the RESET IN pin is not connected internally and must be left unconnected or tied to GND per datasheet guidance.
How is the window watchdog timeout configured on the MAX6752KA16+?
The MAX6752KA16+ window watchdog uses two independent timing elements: slow watchdog period (tWD2) set by capacitor CSWT on SWT pin, and fast watchdog period (tWD1) selected via SET0/SET1 pin strapping (8×, 16×, or 64× ratio relative to tWD2). No WDS pin is used - that feature applies only to MAX6746–MAX6751.
What package type and footprint does the MAX6752KA16+ use?
The MAX6752KA16+ is supplied in an 8-pin SOT23 package (Outline Number 21-0078, Land Pattern 90-0176), with RoHS-compliant "+" suffix. Its compact 2.9mm × 1.6mm footprint and 1.1mm height enable high-density placement in automotive and portable electronics PCBs.
Is the MAX6752KA16+ qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the MAX6752KA16+ is AEC-Q100 qualified and fully specified over the automotive temperature range (−40°C to +125°C). It meets stringent reliability, ESD, and transient immunity requirements for use in engine control, body electronics, and ADAS subsystems.
