MAX16997/MAX16998
High-Voltage Watchdog Timers with
Adjustable Timeout Delay
General Description
Features
● Wide 5V to 40V Input Voltage Range
The MAX16997/MAX16998 are microprocessor (μP)
supervisory circuits for high-input-voltage and low-
quiescent-current applications. These devices detect
downstream circuit failures and provide switchover to
redundant circuitry. See the Selector Guide for the
different versions of this product family.
● 18μA Quiescent Current (Typical at +125°C)
● Capacitor-Adjustable Timeout Period for Watchdog
and Reset
● Windowed Watchdog Timer Options (MAX16998B/D)
● External Voltage Monitoring (RESETIN for the
The MAX16997/MAX16998 family has four independent
inputs for reset and watchdog functions. SWT and SRT
inputs independently set the timeout periods of watchdog
and reset timers through external capacitors. RESETIN/
EN monitor voltages at respective inputs. A resistive
voltage-divider sets the reset threshold.
MAX16998A/B/D and EN for the MAX16997A)
● Car Battery-Compatible EN Input
● TTL- and CMOS-Compatible Open-Drain Outputs
● 18V Maximum Open-Drain Reset Output Voltage
● 28V Maximum Open-Drain Enable Output Voltage
The MAX16998A/B/D generate two output signals, RESET
and ENABLE. RESET asserts whenever RESETIN drops
below its threshold voltage or when the watchdog timer
detects a timing fault at WDI. Once asserted, and after
all reset conditions are removed, RESET remains low
● Power-On/Power-Off Reset Functionality
(MAX16998A/B/D Only)
● AEC-Q100 Qualified
● -40°C to +125°C Operating Temperature Range
● Small (3mm x 3mm) μMAX Package
● WDI Narrow Pulse Immunity

RESET
The MAX16997A generates one output signal (ENABLE)
based on the voltage level at EN and the signal at WDI.
The MAX16997A does not have a RESET output. The
watchdog is disabled if the voltage at EN is below its
threshold. The MAX16997A watchdog timer starts timing
when the voltage at EN becomes higher than the preset
threshold voltage level. Each time EN rises above the pre-
set threshold voltage, the initial watchdog timeout period
