Product details
Overview
STWD100NPWY3F from STMicroelectronics is a single-supply, automotive-qualified watchdog timer IC with fixed timeout options (3.4 ms, 6.3 ms, 102 ms, or 1.6 s), 13 µA typical supply current, and –40 to 125 °C operating range. It features WDI input for periodic reset, EN pin for chip enable/disable, and configurable open-drain or push-pull WDO output - used in telecom power supervision and industrial control systems to recover locked microcontrollers.
For engineers reviewing the STWD100NPWY3F datasheet, STWD100NPWY3F pinout, STWD100NPWY3F application, or STWD100NPWY3F equivalent, key selection criteria include timeout period selection, EN pin behavior under transient conditions, WDO output drive configuration, and compatibility with bidirectional MCU reset I/O interfaces.
Technical Context
The STWD100NPWY3F implements a self-contained watchdog timer with internal oscillator-based timing, no external components required. Its timeout periods are factory-set per variant: STWD100NPWY3F uses the 1.6 s (typ.) setting (tWD = 1.12–2.24 s). The EN pin has an internal 32–100 kΩ pull-down and enables the device when floating.
WDI accepts ≥1 µs pulses with 100 ns glitch rejection; toggling resets the timer. WDO asserts low after timeout - minimum 10 µs pulse width on STWD100xP variants like this one - and supports either open-drain (with external pull-up) or push-pull output modes per configuration.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Watchdog timeout | 1.6 s typical (1.12–2.24 s min/max); determines maximum allowable MCU hang time before system reset |
| Supply current | 13 µA typical at VCC = 5 V; enables ultra-low-power always-on monitoring in battery-backed systems |
| Operating voltage | 2.7–5.5 V; compatible with 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains without level-shifting |
| Temperature range | –40 to 125 °C; qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial environments |
| ESD rating | HBM: 2000 V, CDM: 1000 V; ensures robustness during board handling and system integration |
| EN input behavior | Pull-down resistor 32–100 kΩ; device enabled by floating EN - simplifies default-enable designs |
| WDO output type | Configurable open-drain or push-pull; open-drain allows wired-OR reset bus sharing with other devices |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-5 package (3.0 × 2.8 × 1.3 mm, 5-pin surface-mount), RoHS-compliant and ECOPACK® certified.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (WDO) | Watchdog output | Active-low reset signal; open-drain or push-pull configurable; drives MCU reset line or system supervisor |
| 2 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary return path for VCC, WDI, EN, and WDO; must be low-impedance for noise immunity |
| 3 (EN) | Chip enable input | Internal 32–100 kΩ pull-down; floating = enabled; driven high >1 µs triggers immediate WDO assertion |
| 4 (WDI) | Watchdog input | Edge-sensitive reset trigger; ≥1 µs pulse clears timer; 100 ns glitch rejection prevents false clearing |
| 5 (VCC) | Supply voltage | 2.7–5.5 V input; powers internal oscillator and logic; startup threshold VSTART = 1.9–2.7 V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Four factory-selectable timeout periods | Enables precise match to system boot time, firmware loop duration, or safety-critical response window |
| Chip enable (EN) with internal pull-down | Eliminates need for external pull-down resistor; simplifies PCB layout and reduces BOM count |
| Configurable WDO output (open-drain/push-pull) | Supports both shared reset buses (open-drain) and direct MCU reset pins (push-pull) without redesign |
| 100 ns glitch rejection on WDI/EN | Prevents spurious timeout due to EMI or digital noise on control lines in electrically noisy environments |
| Automotive qualification (AEC-Q100) | Validated for use in engine control units, ADAS modules, and other automotive electronics requiring reliability |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar watchdog timer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6375US29D3+ | Fixed 2.9 s timeout; 1.8–5.5 V supply; no EN pin; only open-drain WDO | Lacks chip enable and shorter timeout granularity; not AEC-Q100 qualified | Select when longer timeout and simplified enable logic suffice, and automotive qualification is unnecessary |
| TPL92012DSER | Adjustable timeout (10 ms–10 s via external capacitor); 1.6–5.5 V; integrated reset delay; no EN pin | Requires external RC network; lacks EN functionality and automotive qualification | Choose when programmable timeout and built-in reset delay are prioritized over pin-count minimization and automotive compliance |
Compared with MAX6375US29D3+ and TPL92012DSER, STWD100NPWY3F offers factory-set precision timing, integrated EN control, and AEC-Q100 qualification - making it optimal for space-constrained, safety-critical automotive and industrial systems where deterministic behavior and qualification evidence are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the exact watchdog timeout period for STWD100NPWY3F?
The STWD100NPWY3F is the 'Y' variant in the STWD100 family and provides a nominal watchdog timeout of 1.6 seconds, with a guaranteed range of 1.12 to 2.24 seconds across temperature and voltage. This value is factory-trimmed and does not require external components or configuration.
Can STWD100NPWY3F drive a standard microcontroller reset pin directly?
Yes - STWD100NPWY3F supports push-pull WDO output mode, enabling direct connection to most MCU reset inputs without external pull-up resistors. When configured as open-drain, a 10 kΩ external pull-up to VCC or another logic rail up to 6 V is required.
How does the EN pin behave when left unconnected?
When the EN pin is left floating, the internal 32–100 kΩ pull-down resistor ensures it remains at logic low, enabling the watchdog function by default. Driving EN high for ≥1 µs forces immediate WDO assertion, regardless of WDI activity - useful for manual reset initiation.
Is STWD100NPWY3F qualified for automotive applications?
Yes - STWD100NPWY3F carries full AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualification (–40 to +125 °C), with additional screening per AEC-Q001/Q002. Its SOT23-5 packaging, ESD robustness (HBM 2000 V), and specified DC/AC parameters across temperature confirm suitability for under-hood and body electronics.
