Product details
Overview
The MAX6752KA23+ from Analog Devices is a window watchdog supervisory IC for microprocessor systems, featuring factory-trimmed 3.2V VCC reset threshold (±2%), capacitor-adjustable reset timeout (5.7–9.5ms), and dual-window watchdog with fast/slow fault detection (tWD1 = 11.4–15.2ms / tWD2 = 729–1214ms at CSWT = 1500pF). It operates from 1.2V to 5.5V supply and supports automotive-grade operation from –40°C to +125°C in an 8-pin SOT23 package, used in battery-powered controllers and critical μP monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6752KA23+ datasheet, MAX6752KA23+ pinout, MAX6752KA23+ application, or MAX6752KA23+ equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world timing behavior under temperature and voltage variation, and validated alternative options for window watchdog supervision in automotive and portable embedded systems.
Technical Context
The MAX6752KA23+ implements a min/max (windowed) watchdog architecture 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 fixed 3.2V VCC reset threshold is factory-trimmed to ±2% over –40°C to +125°C, and RESET remains valid down to VCC ≥ 1V.
Reset timeout (tRP) and slow watchdog period (tWD2) are independently set by external capacitors on SRT and SWT pins using linear scaling formulas: tRP = 4.94×10⁶ × CSRT and tWD2 = 0.65×10⁹ × CSWT. The device uses internal ramp comparators (SRT/SWT thresholds at 1.235V, 250nA ramp current) and guarantees immunity to transients ≤50µs at 100mV overdrive.

Pinout & Package
MAX6752KA23+ is housed in an 8-pin SOT23 package (Outline 21-0078, Land Pattern 90-0176), RoHS-compliant, with thermal resistance θJA = 196°C/W on four-layer board.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RESET IN | Adjustable reset comparator input | High-impedance node (±1nA leakage); connects to resistor divider for dual-voltage monitoring (not used in MAX6752KA23+ due to fixed VCC threshold) |
| 2 - SET0 | Watchdog window ratio select | Logic input: low = enable tWD1 selection; high = disable watchdog or select 64× ratio (per Table 1) |
| 3 - SWT | Slow watchdog timeout capacitor terminal | Connects to ground via CSWT (100–1500pF); sets tWD2 = 0.65×10⁹ × CSWT (seconds) |
| 4 - SRT | Reset timeout capacitor terminal | Connects to ground via CSRT (100–1500pF); sets tRP = 4.94×10⁶ × CSRT (seconds) |
| 5 - GND | Power ground reference | Return path for all internal circuits; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| 6 - SET1 | Watchdog window ratio select | Logic input: low = select 8× or 16× tWD2/tWD1 ratio; high = select 64× or disable (per Table 1) |
| 7 - RESET | Active-low reset output | Push-pull configuration; drives μP reset pin directly; valid logic state guaranteed for VCC ≥ 1V |
| 8 - VCC | Main supply input | Accepts 1.2–5.5V; powers internal circuitry and provides reference for fixed 3.2V reset threshold |

Applications
| Automotive Engine Control Unit (ECU) | Battery-Powered Medical Monitor |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: ECU microcontroller must recover from transient voltage sags during cold-cranking or load-dump events without false resets. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MAX6752KA23+ monitors 3.3V domain and enforces windowed watchdog supervision on main CPU clock domain to detect firmware hangs or timing violations. Use Value: Immunity to 50µs/100mV transients prevents spurious resets; window watchdog catches both stuck loops and premature wakeups missed by single-timeout watchdogs. |
Use Scenario: Portable glucose meter runs on CR2032 battery and requires guaranteed reset assertion during deep discharge (<1.8V). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MAX6752KA23+ provides VCC-supervised reset with 3.2V threshold and ultra-low ICC (3.7µA) to extend battery life while ensuring safe shutdown before brownout. Use Value: Valid RESET output down to VCC = 1V prevents undefined μP state; push-pull output drives reset pin without external pullup, saving BOM cost and board space. |
| Industrial PLC I/O Module | Smart Energy Meter |
|
Use Scenario: PLC module operates in harsh industrial environments with EMI-induced glitches on power and signal lines. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MAX6752KA23+ serves as primary supervisor for ARM Cortex-M7 core, using window watchdog to validate deterministic task scheduling across multiple RTOS threads. Use Value: Dual-window detection identifies both software lockups (slow fault) and interrupt storm conditions (fast fault); AEC-Q100 rating ensures long-term reliability at 125°C ambient. |
Use Scenario: Revenue-grade meter must maintain accurate timekeeping and secure firmware execution during grid voltage fluctuations. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MAX6752KA23+ supervises the meter's secure MCU, asserting reset if WDI pulses deviate from expected 100ms window (tWD1 = 12.2ms, tWD2 = 975ms). Use Value: Capacitor-tuned tRP (7.6ms) matches flash programming sequence; ±2% VTH tolerance ensures consistent reset point across 20-year product lifecycle. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar window watchdog supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6753KA23+ | Identical electrical specs and pinout, 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 | Select MAX6753KA23+ only when external pullup is needed; otherwise MAX6752KA23+ reduces component count |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Fixed 3.3V reset threshold (±0.5%), no window watchdog; only basic timeout watchdog (single-period) | Applicable where simple reset + watchdog suffices, but cannot detect fast-fault conditions | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR for cost-sensitive designs lacking window-fault requirements; MAX6752KA23+ adds critical safety coverage |
Compared with MAX6753KA23+, the MAX6752KA23+ offers direct-drive reset capability without external components; compared with TPS3808G33DBVR, it provides superior functional safety through dual-boundary watchdog detection essential for ASIL-B systems.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX6752KA23+ and how is it trimmed?
The MAX6752KA23+ has a factory-trimmed VCC reset threshold of 3.200V with ±2% tolerance over –40°C to +125°C. This value is laser-trimmed during wafer test and verified per Table 2 (suffix "23" = 3.200V typ). No external resistors are needed, and the threshold remains stable across temperature and supply voltage variations, eliminating calibration overhead in production.
How does the window watchdog function differ between MAX6752KA23+ and standard watchdog ICs like MAX6746?
The MAX6752KA23+ implements a true min/max watchdog: it asserts RESET if WDI falling edges occur either faster than tWD1 (fast fault) or slower than tWD2 (slow fault). In contrast, the MAX6746 only detects slow faults (no tWD1 boundary). This dual-boundary detection prevents both runaway loops and interrupt storms-critical for functional safety in automotive and medical applications.
Can the MAX6752KA23+ monitor two supply rails simultaneously, such as VCC and a 1.8V core voltage?
No-the MAX6752KA23+ monitors only the VCC supply using its fixed 3.2V threshold. It lacks the RESET IN pin functionality found in MAX6748–MAX6751 for external voltage monitoring. To supervise dual rails, use MAX6750KA23+ (which combines fixed 3.2V VCC monitoring and adjustable RESET IN input) or pair MAX6752KA23+ with a dedicated 1.8V supervisor like MAX6315US29D3+.
What capacitor values are recommended for achieving a 100ms slow watchdog period (tWD2) with the MAX6752KA23+?
To achieve tWD2 = 100ms, solve tWD2 = 0.65×10⁹ × CSWT → CSWT = 100×10⁻³ / 0.65×10⁹ = 154pF. Use a 150pF ±5% C0G ceramic capacitor (low leakage, <10nA) placed close to the SWT pin with short traces. Avoid X7R types due to DC bias and temperature drift effects on timing accuracy.
Is the MAX6752KA23+ pin-compatible with other members of the MAX6746–MAX6753 family, such as MAX6750?
No-MAX6752KA23+ uses the SET0/SET1 pin configuration (pins 2 and 6) for window watchdog ratio selection, whereas MAX6750 uses RESET IN (pin 1) and lacks SET0/SET1. Pin mapping differs across subfamilies: MAX6752/MAX6753 have SET0/SET1 on pins 2/6; MAX6746–MAX6751 have WDS on pin 5; MAX6748–MAX6751 use RESET IN on pin 1. PCB layout is not interchangeable.
