Product details
Overview
MAX6753KA16+T 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 typical), 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 is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive use in engine control units and ADAS power management.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6753KA16+T datasheet, MAX6753KA16+T pinout, MAX6753KA16+T application, or MAX6753KA16+T equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, SOT23-8 pin mapping, automotive-grade thermal performance (-40°C to +125°C), and real-world substitution guidance - all grounded in Analog Devices' official MAX6746–MAX6753 family documentation.
Technical Context
The MAX6753KA16+T 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), enabling robust detection of runaway or stalled firmware execution. Its reset comparator monitors VCC only (no RESET IN input), with factory-set 1.575V threshold and guaranteed operation down to VCC ≥ 1.0V.
Reset and watchdog timeouts are independently set via external capacitors on SRT and SWT pins, using linear scaling formulas: tRP = 4.94×10⁶ × CSRT and tWD2 = 0.65×10⁹ × CSWT. Pin-strapped SET0/SET1 select tWD1 ratios (8×, 16×, or 64× tWD2), while WDS is unused - confirming MAX6753-specific configuration distinct from MAX6746–MAX6751 extended-mode variants.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.2V to 5.5V - supports low-voltage microcontrollers and wide-input industrial rails |
| VCC Reset Threshold | 1.575V ±2% - factory-trimmed for precise brownout detection at 1.6V nominal system rail |
| Supply Current | 3.7µA typical at VCC ≤ 2.0V - enables multi-year battery life in always-on monitoring applications |
| Reset Timeout Period | 5.69–9.49ms (CSRT = 1500pF) - configurable via capacitor to match µP power-up timing requirements |
| Slow Watchdog Period (tWD2) | 729–1214ms (CSWT = 1500pF) - defines upper bound of valid WDI pulse interval for windowed supervision |
| Fast Watchdog Period (tWD1) | 11.38–151.8ms (CSWT = 1500pF, SET ratio = 64–8) - defines lower bound of valid WDI pulse interval |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C - fully specified for under-hood automotive environments per AEC-Q100 Grade 0 |
Pinout & Package
MAX6753KA16+T is housed in an 8-pin SOT23 package (outline 21-0078, land pattern 90-0176), optimized for space-constrained automotive PCBs with thermal resistance qJA = 196°C/W on four-layer board.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RESET IN | Not connected / NC | Pin is unconnected in MAX6753 - device monitors VCC only; no external voltage divider support |
| 2 - WDS | Watchdog Select Input | No function - unused in MAX6753; must be left floating or tied to GND/VCC per layout best practice |
| 3 - SET0 | Window Ratio Control | Logic input selecting tWD1/tWD2 ratio: low = 8×, high = disable watchdog (with SET1 low) |
| 4 - SWT | Slow Watchdog Timing Input | Capacitor connection point setting tWD2 (slow fault window); formula tWD2 = 0.65×10⁹ × CSWT |
| 5 - GND | Ground Reference | Analog/digital ground return; requires low-impedance connection to minimize noise-induced false resets |
| 6 - SET1 | Window Ratio Control | Logic input selecting tWD1/tWD2 ratio: low = 16×, high = 64× (with SET0 high); both high disables watchdog |
| 7 - RESET | Active-Low Reset Output | Push-pull output driving µP reset pin directly; valid logic state guaranteed for VCC ≥ 1.0V |
| 8 - VCC | Power Supply Input | Main supply input and monitored voltage source; absolute max rating -0.3V to +6.0V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6752KA32+T | Identical window watchdog architecture but factory-trimmed to 3.200V VCC threshold (±2%) | Suitable for 3.3V systems requiring tighter reset margin; not drop-in for 1.6V rails | Select MAX6752KA32+T only when supervising 3.3V VCC with same timing requirements |
| TLV809E25DBVR | Single-threshold reset IC (2.5V) with fixed 200ms timeout; no watchdog or windowing capability | Limited to basic power-on reset in non-safety-critical consumer applications | Choose TLV809E25DBVR only for cost-sensitive designs where firmware supervision is handled externally |
Compared with MAX6753KA16+T, MAX6752KA32+T offers identical window watchdog functionality but targets 3.3V rails instead of 1.6V, while TLV809E25DBVR provides only basic reset without supervision - making MAX6753KA16+T uniquely suited for AEC-Q100-compliant 1.6V automotive microcontroller monitoring.

FAQ
What is the factory-set reset threshold voltage for MAX6753KA16+T?
The MAX6753KA16+T has a factory-trimmed VCC reset threshold of 1.575V ±2% over -40°C to +125°C, corresponding to suffix "16" in the ordering code. This value is laser-trimmed during production and does not require external resistor networks, making it ideal for 1.6V/1.8V microcontroller supply monitoring in automotive applications where precision brownout detection is critical.
Does MAX6753KA16+T support dual-voltage monitoring like some other devices in the MAX6746–MAX6753 family?
No, MAX6753KA16+T monitors VCC only and does not support external RESET IN voltage monitoring. Unlike MAX6748–MAX6751 variants, its Pin 1 (RESET IN) is unconnected. The device relies solely on its factory-trimmed 1.575V VCC threshold, confirmed in the Selector Guide and Pin Configurations section of the official datasheet.
How do I configure the window watchdog timeout periods for MAX6753KA16+T?
Configure MAX6753KA16+T's window watchdog by connecting capacitor CSWT to Pin 4 (SWT) to set tWD2 (slow fault period), then strapping Pins 3 (SET0) and 6 (SET1) to select tWD1/tWD2 ratio (8×, 16×, or 64×). For example, with CSWT = 1500pF and SET0/SET1 both low, tWD2 ≈ 975ms and tWD1 ≈ 122ms - values derived from tWD2 = 0.65×10⁹ × CSWT and documented ratio tables.
Is MAX6753KA16+T pin-compatible with MAX6746–MAX6751 devices in the same SOT23-8 package?
No, MAX6753KA16+T is not pin-compatible with MAX6746–MAX6751. While both use SOT23-8, Pin 1 is RESET IN (functional) in MAX6746–MAX6751 but NC in MAX6753, and Pin 2 is WDS (functional) in MAX6746–MAX6751 but unused in MAX6753. The MAX6752/MAX6753 share identical pinout, but differ from earlier family members - confirmed in the Pin Configurations table.
What is the minimum supply voltage required for MAX6753KA16+T to guarantee valid RESET output logic?
MAX6753KA16+T guarantees valid RESET output logic for VCC ≥ 1.0V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. Below 1.0V, RESET behavior is not guaranteed - though the device remains functional down to VCC = 1.2V per operating range. This ensures reliable reset assertion during brownout conditions common in automotive 12V battery systems with DC-DC regulation.
