µP Supervisory Circuits with Windowed
(Min/Max) Watchdog and Manual Reset
/MAX6324
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
o Min/Max (Windowed) Watchdog,
8 Factory-Trimmed Timing Options
o Pulsed Open-Drain, Active-Low Watchdog Output
o Power-On Reset
o Precision Monitoring of +2.5V, +3.0V, +3.3V,
guaranteed down to V
= +1.2V.
CC
and +5.0V Power Supplies
The RESET output is either push-pull (MAX6323) or
open-drain (MAX6324). RESET is asserted low when
o Open-Drain or Push-Pull RESET Outputs
o Low-Power Operation (23µA typ)
o Debounced Manual Reset Input
V
falls below the reset threshold, or when the manual
CC
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.
o Guaranteed Reset Valid to V
= +1.2V
CC
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 timeout 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 +12ꢀ°C).
Applications
/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 incre-
ment requirement of 2ꢀ00 pieces. Nonstandard versions have an
order increment requirement of 10,000 pieces. Contact factory for
availability of nonstandard versions.
