Two-rail watchdog in a SOT-23-5
The reset output is active-low, open-drain, so it can be wire-ORed with other reset sources or pulled up to a different voltage than the monitored rails. The 140ms minimum reset timeout holds the system in reset long enough for the power supplies and oscillator to stabilise after a brownout or power-up. Housed in a SOT-23-5 package, it is a surface-mount part rated for the industrial temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.
Sourcing and lifecycle
The MAX6717UKZWD3 is listed as Active on the lifecycle record, so there is no end-of-life notice or last-time-buy pressure. It remains a current-production part suitable for new designs and ongoing BOMs. Note that this variant is RoHS non-compliant. If your assembly requires RoHS compliance, verify the lead-free alternative before committing the BOM.
