Product details
Overview
MAX6753KA31-T from Maxim Integrated is a window watchdog supervisory IC for microprocessor systems, featuring dual adjustable reset thresholds (VCC and RESET IN), capacitor-tunable reset timeout (tRP = 4.94×10⁶ × CSRT), fast/slow watchdog windows (tWD1/tWD2), and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive use. It asserts an active-low RESET output during brownout, manual reset, or watchdog fault, with guaranteed operation down to VCC = 1.0V.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6753KA31-T datasheet, MAX6753KA31-T pinout, MAX6753KA31-T application, or MAX6753KA31-T equivalent, this device supports critical μP monitoring in battery-powered controllers, intelligent instruments, and automotive ECUs where precise windowed watchdog timing and dual-voltage supervision are required.
Technical Context
The MAX6753KA31-T implements a min/max (windowed) watchdog architecture that detects both early (faster than tWD1) and late (slower than tWD2) transitions on WDI - unlike standard watchdogs. Its reset threshold is factory-trimmed to 3.075V ±2% (suffix "31"), and RESET IN threshold is fixed at 1.235V ±0.019V.
Reset timeout and slow watchdog period (tWD2) are set independently via external capacitors on SRT and SWT pins (tRP = 4.94×10⁶ × CSRT; tWD2 = 0.65×10⁹ × CSWT), while fast watchdog ratio (tWD2/tWD1 = 8/16/64) is selected by strapping SET0/SET1. The device operates across –40°C to +125°C and draws only 3.7µA typical supply current at VCC ≤ 2.0V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold Voltage | 3.075V ±2% (factory-trimmed); ensures reliable power-on reset for 3.3V systems with margin against rail sag. |
| RESET Output Type | Active-low push-pull; drives high without external pull-up, simplifying interface to µP reset inputs. |
| Supply Current | 3.7µA (typ) at VCC ≤ 2.0V; enables ultra-low-power operation in battery-backed or portable applications. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C; fully specified for under-hood automotive and industrial embedded environments. |
| Reset Timeout Range | 0.506ms to 9.487ms (CSRT = 100pF to 1500pF); covers boot-time requirements of ARM Cortex-M and legacy 8-bit µPs. |
| Slow Watchdog Period | 64.77ms to 1214.4ms (CSWT = 100pF to 1500pF); sets lower bound of windowed watchdog detection window. |
| Fast Watchdog Ratio | Selectable 8×, 16×, or 64× tWD2 via SET0/SET1; defines upper bound (tWD1) for detecting premature WDI pulses. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6753KA31-T is housed in an 8-pin SOT23 package (package code K8+5, outline 21-0078), optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts in automotive and portable designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RESET IN | Adjustable voltage monitor input | High-impedance comparator input referenced to 1.235V; used with external resistor divider to supervise secondary supply (e.g., 5V or 12V rail). |
| 2 - SET0 | Watchdog window ratio select | Logic input (GND/VCC) selecting tWD2/tWD1 ratio: low/low = 8×, low/high = 16×, high/high = 64×; high/low disables watchdog. |
| 3 - SWT | Slow watchdog timeout capacitor node | Connects to ground via CSWT to set tWD2 (slow fault window); formula tWD2 = 0.65×10⁹ × CSWT (seconds). |
| 4 - SRT | Reset timeout capacitor node | Connects to ground via CSRT to set tRP (reset assertion duration); formula tRP = 4.94×10⁶ × CSRT (seconds). |
| 5 - GND | Power ground reference | Return path for internal comparators, bias circuits, and RESET output stage; must be low-impedance. |
| 6 - SET1 | Watchdog window ratio select | Second logic input (GND/VCC) completing ratio selection with SET0 per Table 1; enables precise window tuning. |
| 7 - WDI | Window watchdog input | Falling-edge-sensitive input; triggers RESET if pulse interval falls outside tWD1–tWD2 window; rejects <300ns glitches. |
| 8 - VCC | Main supply input | Power source (1.0V–5.5V) and primary voltage monitor; RESET asserted when VCC drops below 3.075V ±2%. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Windowed watchdog timer | Detects both fast (tWDI < tWD1) and slow (tWDI > tWD2) processor faults - prevents runaway code and stuck states missed by standard watchdogs. |
| Capacitor-adjustable timing | Independent tuning of reset timeout (SRT) and slow watchdog period (SWT) eliminates need for multiple part numbers or firmware changes. |
| AEC-Q100 qualified | Validated for automotive Grade 0 (–40°C to +125°C), enabling use in engine control units, ADAS sensors, and infotainment power management. |
| 3.7µA ultra-low supply current | Reduces quiescent load on coin-cell or supercap backup supplies, extending system uptime during main power loss. |
| RESET valid down to VCC = 1.0V | Guarantees deterministic reset state during brownout recovery, preventing partial initialization or metastability in µP peripherals. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6752KA31-T | Identical reset threshold (3.075V) and pinout, but lacks SET1 pin and fixed 8× window ratio; no SET1 strapping option. | Suitable for simpler systems requiring only one fast watchdog window; not compatible where dynamic ratio switching is needed. | Select MAX6752KA31-T only if SET1 functionality is unused and cost reduction is prioritized over design flexibility. |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Fixed 3.3V reset threshold, no RESET IN input, no windowed watchdog (standard timeout only), higher ICC (8µA typ). | Limited to single-rail 3.3V systems without secondary voltage monitoring or advanced fault detection requirements. | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR only for cost-sensitive consumer applications where windowed watchdog and dual-supply monitoring are unnecessary. |
Compared with MAX6752KA31-T and TPS3808G33DBVR, the MAX6753KA31-T uniquely supports three programmable watchdog window ratios via dual SET pins and retains full RESET IN capability - making it the only option among the three for safety-critical dual-supply systems requiring configurable fault detection windows.
