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
and operate in either a preset or adjustable voltage
mode. In preset voltage mode, internal trimmed feed-
back resistors set the internal linear regulator to +1.8V,
+2.5V, +3.3V, or +5V (see Table 2). Select preset-
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 50kΩ (maximum 100kΩ).
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
formula 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 the L/T/Z/W versions.

COMMENT
Initial State Low Don’t care Off
ENABLE is pulled to GND through an internal pulldown. HOLD is high
impedance (pulled up to OUT). Regulator output is disabled.
Turn-On State High Don’t care On
ENABLE is externally driven high turning the regulator output on.
HOLD is pulled up by OUT.

HOLD is externally pulled low while ENABLE remains high (latches

HOLD is driven high (or pulled high by an internal pullup) while

Available Output-Current Calculation
The MAX6765–MAX6774B provide up to 100mA of load
current. Package power dissipation limits the amount of
output current available for a given input/output voltage
and ambient temperature. Figures 3 and 4 depict the
maximum power dissipation curve for the MAX6765/
MAX6766 and MAX6767–MAX6774B, respectively. The
graph assumes that the exposed metal pad of the
device package is soldered to a solid 1in
2
section of
2oz. PCB copper (JESD51-3 AND JESD51-5). Use
Figure 4 to determine the allowable package dissipa-
tion for a given ambient temperature. Alternately, use
the following formula to calculate the allowable pack-
age dissipation:
PD
MAX
= Max. Power Dissip = 1.951W, for T
A
+70°C
PD
MAX
= Max. Power Dissip = [1.9W - 0.0244W x
(T
A
- 70°C)], for +70°C < T
A
+125°C
where 0.0244W is the MAX6767–MAX6774B package
thermal derating in W/°C and T
A
is the ambient tempera-
ture in °C, under the same conditions used for Figure 4.
After determining the allowable package dissipation,
calculate the maximum output current using the follow-
ing formula:
PD < PD
MAX
where PD = [(V
IN
- V
OUT
) x I
OUT
]
Also, I
OUT
should be 100mA in any case.
Selecting Timeout Capacitor
The reset timeout period is adjustable to accommodate
a variety of µP applications. Adjust the reset timeout
period by connecting a capacitor between TIMEOUT
and GND.

TIMEOUT
x 1.22 x 10

RP
= C
TIMEOUT
x 1.17 x 10
6
Ω (V/W/Y/Z options)
where t
RP
is in seconds and C
TIMEOUT
is in Farads.
Connect TIMEOUT to OUT to select the internally fixed
timeout period. C
TIMEOUT
must be a low-leakage
(< 10nA) type capacitor. Ceramic capacitors are
recommended; do not use capacitor values lower than
100pF to avoid the influence of parasitic capacitances.
Capacitor Selection and
Regulator Stability
For stable operation over the full temperature range and
with load currents up to 100mA, use a 10µF (min) output
capacitor with an ESR < 0.5Ω. To reduce noise and
improve load-transient response, stability, and power-
supply rejection, use larger output-capacitor values.
Some ceramic dielectrics exhibit large capacitance
and ESR variation with temperature. For dielectric
capacitors such as Z5U and Y5V, use more capaci-
tance to ensure stability at low temperatures. With X7R
or X5R dielectrics, 10µF should be sufficient at all oper-
ating temperatures. For higher-ESR tantalum capaci-
tors, use larger capacitor values to maintain stability. To
improve power-supply rejection and transient
response, use a larger capacitor than the minimum
0.1µF capacitor between IN and GND.

Ensuring a Valid
RESET
Output Down to
V
IN
= 0V (MAX6766/MAX6768/MAX6770/
MAX6772/MAX6774/MAX6774B)
When V
IN
falls below 1V, RESET current-sinking capa-
bilities decline drastically. High-impedance CMOS-
logic inputs connected to RESET can drift to
undetermined voltages. This presents no problems in
most applications, since most µPs and other circuitry
do not operate with supply voltages below 1V. In appli-
cations where RESET must be valid down to 0V, adding
a pulldown resistor between RESET and ground sinks
any stray leakage currents, holding RESET low (Figure
5). The value of the pulldown resistor is not critical;
100kΩ is large enough not to load RESET and small
enough to pull RESET to ground. Open-drain RESET
versions are not recommended for applications requir-
ing valid logic for V
IN
down to 0V.
