Watchdog Timer (MAX6773/MAX6773B/
MAX6774/MAX6774B)
The MAX6773/MAX6774 include a watchdog timer that
asserts
RESET
if the watchdog input (WDI) does not
toggle within the watchdog timeout period t
WD
(1.6s
(typ) for the MAX6773/MAX6774 and 50ms (typ) for the
MAX6773B/MAX6774B).
RESET
remains low for the
reset timeout period, t
RP
. If the watchdog is not updat-
ed for lengthy periods of time, the reset output appears
as a pulse train, asserted for the reset timeout period
and deasserted for the watchdog timeout period, until
WDI is toggled again. When
RESET
asserts, it stays low
for the entire reset timeout period ignoring any WDI
transitions. To prevent the watchdog from asserting
RESET
, toggle WDI with a valid rising or falling edge
prior to t
WD
(min). The watchdog counter clears when
WDI toggles prior to t
WD
or when
RESET
asserts. The
watchdog resumes counting after
RESET
deasserts.
The watchdog timer cannot be disabled.
Thermal Protection
When the junction temperature exceeds T
J
= +160°C
(typ), an internal thermal sensor signals the shutdown
logic that turns off the pass transistor and allows the IC
to cool. The thermal sensor turns the pass transistor on
again after the IC’s junction temperature cools by 20°C
(typ), resulting in a cycled output during continuous
thermal-overload conditions. Thermal protection pro-
tects the MAX6765–MAX6774B in the event of a fault
condition. Never exceed the absolute maximum junction
temperature rating of T
J
= +150°C. See Figures 3 and 4
for the safe operating area.
Applications Information
Output Voltage Selection
The MAX6767–MAX6774B feature dual-mode operation:
these devices operate in either a preset or adjustable
voltage mode. In preset voltage mode, internal trimmed
feedback resistors set the internal linear regulator to
+1.8V, +2.5V, +3.3V, or +5V (see Table 2). Select pre-
set-voltage mode by connecting SET to ground. In
adjustable mode, select an output voltage between
+1.8V and +11V using two external resistors connected
as a voltage-divider to SET (see Figure 1). Set the output
voltage using the following equation:
V
OUT
= V
SET
(1+R1/R2)
where V
SET
= 1.233V and the recommended value for
R2 is 50k
(maximum 100k
).
RESETIN Threshold Selection
The MAX6769/MAX6770 feature an adjustable reset
threshold to monitor the voltage on RESETIN using a
resistive divider between the monitored voltage,
RESETIN and GND. See Figure 2. Use the following for-
mula to set the desired reset threshold:
V
MON
= V
TH
(1+R3/R4)
where V
TH
is 1.085V for the M/S/Y/V versions and
1.147V for L/T/Z/W versions.
