Product details
Overview
The MAX16000ETC+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-voltage, quad-voltage microprocessor supervisor IC in a 12-pin TQFN (4mm × 4mm) package. It monitors four independent supply rails-3.3V, 2.5V, adjustable, and 1.8V-with fixed or user-selectable 5%/10% threshold tolerance, delivers open-drain outputs with internal 30µA pullups, and provides a minimum 140ms reset timeout. It is used in multivoltage ASIC power sequencing for server and storage equipment.
For engineers reviewing the MAX16000ETC+T datasheet, MAX16000ETC+T pinout, MAX16000ETC+T application, or MAX16000ETC+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its quad-rail monitoring capability, internal pullup elimination of external resistors, capacitor-adjustable reset timeout, manual reset input with 20kΩ internal pullup, and guaranteed operation down to VCC = 1V for brownout resilience.
Technical Context
The MAX16000ETC+T implements independent voltage monitoring per rail with hysteresis (0.5% of threshold), supports margin testing via active-low MARGIN input, and uses a TOL pin to select 5% or 10% threshold accuracy. Its RESET output asserts when any monitored voltage falls below its threshold or MR is pulled low, remaining asserted for ≥140ms after recovery.
All six monitored inputs (IN1–IN4) feature sub-100nA input current for adjustable thresholds and ≤16µA for fixed thresholds, enabling high-impedance sensing without loading sensitive supplies. The device operates across –40°C to +125°C and guarantees correct logic state down to VCC = 1V, supporting robust startup and brownout detection in automotive-grade thermal environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Monitored Voltages | Four rails: IN1 = 3.3V, IN2 = 2.5V, IN3 = adjustable (0.366–0.400V), IN4 = 1.8V - enables precise multirail ASIC power validation |
| Reset Timeout | Min 140ms (SRT = VCC); adjustable up to ~3.92ms with 1500pF capacitor - ensures reliable processor initialization timing |
| Supply Voltage Range | VCC = 1.0V to 5.5V - supports operation during deep brownout and compatibility with 1.2V–5V systems |
| Input Threshold Accuracy | ±5% (TOL = GND) or ±10% (TOL = VCC) - selectable tolerance simplifies design margining |
| Output Type | Open-drain with internal 30µA pullup - eliminates need for external pullup resistors on all OUT_ and RESET pins |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for industrial and extended-temperature embedded applications |
| Supply Current | 45–65µA at VCC = 3.3V - ultra-low quiescent current extends system standby life |
Pinout & Package
Package: 12-pin TQFN (4mm × 4mm), exposed pad (EP) internally connected to GND. Thermal pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane for optimal junction-to-board thermal resistance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 10, 11 | IN1–IN4 | Independent monitored supply inputs; each triggers dedicated output on undervoltage |
| 3 | GND | Ground reference for all analog and digital circuitry; EP connects internally |
| 4 | VCC | Unmonitored bias supply; requires 0.1µF bypass capacitor to GND |
| 5, 6, 8, 9 | OUT1–OUT4 | Open-drain outputs asserting low on respective INx undervoltage; 30µA internal pullup to VCC |
| 7 | MARGIN | Active-low deassert control; pulls all outputs high regardless of input conditions |
| 12 | TOL | Selects 5% (GND) or 10% (VCC) threshold tolerance for all monitored inputs |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quad independent voltage monitors | Enables simultaneous validation of 3.3V, 2.5V, 1.8V, and one adjustable rail - no shared reset assertion masking individual rail faults |
| Internal 30µA pullups on all outputs | Eliminates four external pullup resistors, reducing BOM count and board area in space-constrained designs |
| Capacitor-adjustable reset timeout | Supports precise timing tuning from 140ms to >3ms using SRT-to-GND capacitor - replaces fixed RC networks |
| Margin enable function | Allows safe deassertion of all outputs during production margin testing without altering supply voltages |
| Guaranteed operation down to VCC = 1V | Ensures correct logic state and fault reporting even during severe brownout - critical for fail-safe shutdown |
Applications

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Independent voltage monitor with margin enable for production test and field-failure diagnostics. Use Value: Enables real-time rail health reporting without adding external comparators or ADC overhead. |
| Networking ASIC Power Validation | Industrial Multivoltage Control Systems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad-voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX16001ETC+T | Includes watchdog timer (1.6s timeout) and RESET output only (no independent OUTx); same pinout and monitoring thresholds | Required where system-level watchdog supervision is needed alongside voltage monitoring | Select MAX16001ETC+T if watchdog functionality is mandatory; otherwise MAX16000ETC+T reduces complexity and cost |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single 3.3V supervisor with 200ms fixed timeout; no multi-rail or adjustable threshold capability | Suitable only for single-rail monitoring; lacks quad independence and margin enable | Use only when monitoring one rail; MAX16000ETC+T is required for concurrent 4-rail validation |
Compared with MAX16001ETC+T, the MAX16000ETC+T trades watchdog capability for full independent output control per rail - essential for fault isolation. Compared with TPS3808G33DBVR, it adds three additional monitored rails, adjustable thresholds, and margin enable - making it uniquely suited for complex multivoltage ASIC platforms.

FAQ
What voltage rails does the MAX16000ETC+T monitor?
The MAX16000ETC+T monitors four specific rails: IN1 = 3.3V, IN2 = 2.5V, IN3 = adjustable (0.366–0.400V), and IN4 = 1.8V. These thresholds are factory-configured for the "E" variant (MAX16000E), and the TOL pin selects either ±5% or ±10% accuracy. No other rail combinations are supported by this exact part number.
Does the MAX16000ETC+T include a watchdog timer?
No, the MAX16000ETC+T does not include a watchdog timer. Watchdog functionality is present only in MAX16001ETC+T, MAX16002ETC+T, and higher-numbered variants. The MAX16000ETC+T is strictly a quad-voltage supervisor with independent outputs and RESET assertion on any rail fault.
What is the purpose of the MARGIN pin on the MAX16000ETC+T?
The MARGIN pin on the MAX16000ETC+T is an active-low input that forces all OUT1–OUT4 and RESET outputs into a high (deasserted) state regardless of monitored input voltages. This enables safe margin testing during production or field diagnostics without altering actual supply levels.
Can the reset timeout of the MAX16000ETC+T be adjusted?
Yes, the reset timeout of the MAX16000ETC+T is adjustable via the SRT pin. Connecting a capacitor from SRT to GND sets the timeout per the formula tRP (s) = 2.06 × 10⁶ × CSRT (F). With SRT tied to VCC, the timeout defaults to a minimum of 140ms. Capacitor values from 100pF to 1500pF yield timeouts from ~206µs to ~3.92ms.
What package type and footprint does the MAX16000ETC+T use?
The MAX16000ETC+T uses a 12-pin TQFN package measuring 4mm × 4mm with an exposed thermal pad (EP) internally connected to GND. Its land pattern number is 90-0068, outline number 21-0139, and package code T1244+4. The EP must be soldered to the PCB ground plane for thermal performance.
