MAX6323/MAX6324
μP Supervisory Circuits with Windowed
(Min/Max) Watchdog and Manual Reset
General Description
Features
The MAX6323/MAX6324 microprocessor (µP) supervi-
sory circuits monitor power supplies and µP activity in
digital systems. A watchdog timer looks for activity out-
side an expected window of operation. Six laser-trimmed
reset thresholds are available with ±2.5% accuracy from
+2.32V to +4.63V. Valid RESET output is guaranteed

The RESET output is either push-pull (MAX6323) or
open-drain (MAX6324). RESET is asserted low when

reset input (MR) is asserted low. RESET remains assert-
ed for at least 100ms after V rises above the reset
CC
threshold and MR is deasserted.
Ordering Information
The watchdog pulse output (WDPO) utilizes an open-
drain configuration. It can be triggered either by a fast
timeout fault (watchdog input pulses are too close to each
other) or a slow timeout fault (no watchdog input pulse is
observed within the timeout period). The watchdog time-
out is measured from the last falling edge of watchdog
input (WDI) with a minimum pulse width of 300ns. WDPO
is asserted for 1ms when a fault is observed. Eight laser-
trimmed timeout periods are available.

*These devices are factory trimmed to one of eight watchdog-
timeout windows and one of six reset voltage thresholds. Insert
the letter corresponding to the desired watchdog-timeout window
(A, B, C, D, E, F, G, or H) into the blank following the number
6323 or 6324 (see Watchdog Timeout table). Insert the two-
digit code (46, 44, 31, 29, 26, or 23) after the letters UT for the
desired nominal reset threshold (see Reset Threshold Range
table at end of data sheet).
The MAX6323/MAX6324 are offered in a 6-pin SOT23
package and operate over the extended temperature
range (-40°C to +125°C).
/V denotes an automotive qualified part.
Devices are available in both leaded and lead-free packaging.
Specify lead-free by replacing “-T” with “+T” when ordering.
Note: There are eight standard versions of each device available
(see Standard Versions table). Sample stock is generally held on
standard versions only. Standard versions have an order
increment requirement of 2500 pieces. Nonstandard versions
have an order increment requirement of 10,000 pieces. Contact
factory for availability of nonstandard versions.
