Product details
Overview
MAX6753KA26+T from Analog Devices is a window watchdog supervisory IC for automotive-grade microprocessor monitoring, featuring factory-trimmed 2.625V ±2% VCC reset threshold, adjustable slow/fast watchdog timeout (tWD2 = 0.65×10⁹×CSWT; tWD1 selectable via SET0/SET1 pin strapping), and push-pull active-low RESET output. It operates from 1.2V to 5.5V supply and supports dual-voltage monitoring in select variants.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6753KA26+T datasheet, MAX6753KA26+T pinout, MAX6753KA26+T application, or MAX6753KA26+T equivalent, this device delivers AEC-Q100 qualified, capacitor-adjustable reset/watchdog timing with transient immunity and guaranteed RESET validity down to VCC ≥ 1V - critical for battery-powered controllers, medical equipment, and intelligent instrumentation requiring robust brownout and windowed fault detection.
Technical Context
The MAX6753KA26+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), with tWD2 set by CSWT and tWD1 selected via SET0/SET1 logic states (8×, 16×, or 64× ratio). It does not support extended-mode watchdog or manual reset input.
Unlike MAX6746–MAX6751, it lacks WDS and MR pins; instead, it uses SET0 and SET1 as dedicated watchdog window-ratio configuration inputs. Its fixed 2.625V VCC reset threshold is factory-trimmed to ±2% over –40°C to +125°C, and RESET remains asserted for tRP = 4.94×10⁶×CSRT after recovery.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold Voltage | 2.625V ±2% (factory-trimmed); ensures precise brownout detection at nominal 2.625V supply without external resistor network. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.2V to 5.5V; supports operation across low-voltage battery systems (e.g., 1.8V/2.5V rails) and standard 3.3V/5V domains. |
| Quiescent Current | 3.7µA (typ at VCC ≤ 2.0V); enables multi-year battery life in portable and remote sensor applications. |
| Reset Timeout Period | Adjustable from ~0.5ms to ~9.5ms via CSRT capacitor; matches μP power-up sequencing requirements across diverse embedded platforms. |
| Slow Watchdog Period (tWD2) | Calculated as tWD2 = 0.65×10⁹ × CSWT (seconds); provides long-duration fault detection window (e.g., 975ms at CSWT = 1500pF). |
| Fast Watchdog Period (tWD1) | Selectable ratios: 8×, 16×, or 64× tWD2 via SET0/SET1 pin strapping; enables fine-grained window tuning for real-time software execution monitoring. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C; fully specified for under-hood automotive, industrial control, and medical environments. |
| RESET Output Type | Push-pull active-low; eliminates need for external pull-up, simplifies interface to μP reset inputs, and guarantees valid logic state down to VCC = 1V. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6753KA26+T is housed in an 8-pin SOT23 package (outline 21-0078, land pattern 90-0176), RoHS-compliant, with 1.9mm × 2.8mm footprint and 0.95mm height - optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts in portable and automotive modules.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | SET0 | Logic input selecting fast watchdog window ratio (low/high); defines tWD1 as 8×, 16×, or 64× tWD2 when used with SET1. |
| 2 | SET1 | Logic input co-defining watchdog window ratio with SET0; disables watchdog when SET0 = high, SET1 = low. |
| 3 | SWT | Watchdog timeout input; connects to ground via capacitor CSWT to set slow watchdog period tWD2. |
| 4 | SRT | Reset timeout input; connects to ground via capacitor CSRT to set reset assertion duration tRP. |
| 5 | GND | Ground reference for all internal circuitry and external capacitors; must be low-impedance connection. |
| 6 | WDI | Window watchdog input; falling edge triggers fault detection if interval violates tWD1/tWD2 boundaries. |
| 7 | RESET | Push-pull active-low reset output; drives μP reset pin directly; sinks current up to 3.2mA at VCC ≥ 4.5V. |
| 8 | VCC | Main supply input (1.2V–5.5V); powers internal circuitry and serves as monitored voltage source for fixed-threshold reset. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Windowed watchdog timer | Detects both fast and slow processor faults - prevents runaway code and missed deadlines by enforcing strict timing windows on WDI activity. |
| Factory-trimmed 2.625V reset threshold | ±2% accuracy over full automotive temperature range eliminates calibration overhead and reduces BOM count vs. adjustable-threshold alternatives. |
| Capacitor-adjustable timing | Independent CSRT and CSWT capacitors enable precise, board-level tuning of reset hold time and watchdog window without firmware changes. |
| AEC-Q100 qualified | Qualified to Grade 1 (–40°C to +125°C), supporting functional safety requirements in automotive ECUs and ADAS subsystems. |
| Low 3.7µA quiescent current | Minimizes standby power draw in always-on battery-powered systems such as portable medical monitors and telematics units. |
| Push-pull RESET output | Eliminates external pull-up resistor, reduces component count, and ensures deterministic reset state during VCC ramp-down to 1V. |
