Product details
Overview
MAX16001BTE+ from Maxim Integrated is a quad-voltage microprocessor supervisor IC designed for multivoltage system monitoring in industrial and computing applications. It monitors four independent supply rails (3.3V, adjustable, adjustable, 1.8V), provides a shared active-low RESET output asserting on any fault or manual reset, features a 1.6s watchdog timer with 54s startup delay, and operates across -40°C to +125°C.
For engineers reviewing the MAX16001BTE+ datasheet, MAX16001BTE+ pinout, MAX16001BTE+ application, or MAX16001BTE+ equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specifications, confirmed 16-pin TQFN (4mm × 4mm) package mapping, validated pin functions including WDI, SRT, and MARGIN, and real-world use cases in servers and storage equipment requiring precise voltage sequencing and fault recovery.
Technical Context
The MAX16001BTE+ implements a fixed-threshold + adjustable-input architecture: IN1 and IN4 are factory-set to 3.3V and 1.8V respectively, while IN2 and IN3 support adjustable thresholds down to 0.4V via external resistor dividers. Its RESET output combines OR-logic across all four monitored inputs and MR assertion, with timeout controlled either by internal 140ms minimum or capacitor-adjustable via SRT pin.
It integrates a watchdog timer that clears on WDI edge transitions and enters a 54s startup window after reset release; the timer asserts RESET if no valid transition occurs within that period. All open-drain outputs (RESET, OUT1–OUT4) include internal 30µA pullups, eliminating external resistors while supporting up to 5.5V drive voltage.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Monitored Voltages | Four rails: IN1 = 3.3V fixed, IN2/IN3 = adjustable (0.4V min), IN4 = 1.8V fixed - enables mixed-supply ASIC/FPGA power integrity checking |
| Reset Timeout | 140ms minimum (SRT = VCC); adjustable up to ~3.9s with 1500pF capacitor - supports diverse processor boot timing requirements |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6s typical (1.12–2.40s range); 54s startup delay after reset - prevents spurious resets during system initialization |
| Supply Voltage Range | VCC = 1.0V to 5.5V; guaranteed logic operation down to 1.0V - ensures reliable supervision even during brownout conditions |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C ambient - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial control, and telecom base station environments |
| Quiescent Current | 45–70µA at VCC = 2.0–5.5V - enables always-on monitoring without significant battery drain in backup systems |
| Input Threshold Tolerance | Selectable 5% (TOL = GND) or 10% (TOL = VCC) - balances noise immunity vs. margin testing flexibility |
Pinout & Package
MAX16001BTE+ is housed in a 16-pin TQFN package (4mm × 4mm, exposed pad), RoHS-compliant, with thermal pad internally connected to GND for enhanced heat dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 15, 16 | IN1, IN2, IN3, IN4 | Four independent monitored voltage inputs; IN1/IN4 fixed thresholds (3.3V/1.8V), IN2/IN3 adjustable via resistor divider |
| 3 | GND | Power ground reference; connects to exposed pad (EP) for thermal management |
| 4 | VCC | Unmonitored bias supply (1.0–5.5V); requires 0.1µF bypass capacitor to GND |
| 5–8 | OUT1–OUT4 | Open-drain outputs with internal 30µA pullup; each asserts low when its corresponding INx falls below threshold |
| 9 | MARGIN | Active-low deassert input; pulls all outputs high regardless of input conditions - used for functional margin testing |
| 10 | MR | Active-low manual reset input; asserts RESET low and initiates timeout after release - supports front-panel reset buttons |
| 11 | SRT | Set Reset Timeout input; connect capacitor to GND to extend timeout beyond 140ms; tie to VCC for internal minimum |
| 12 | TOL | Threshold tolerance select; GND = ±5%, VCC = ±10% - configures hysteresis and noise rejection level |
| 13 | WDI | Watchdog timer input; edge-sensitive; open-circuit disables timer; leakage <400nA - compatible with low-power GPIO |
| 14 | RESET | Active-low reset output; asserts when any INx fails or MR is pulled low; remains asserted for full timeout after recovery |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quad independent voltage monitoring | Enables simultaneous tracking of core, I/O, memory, and auxiliary rails in SoC-based systems without external comparators |
| Capacitor-adjustable reset timeout | Supports design-specific boot sequences from 140ms to >3s using single external capacitor - eliminates firmware dependency |
| Integrated watchdog with startup delay | 54s initial window prevents false triggers during BIOS/post-boot phases; 1.6s timeout thereafter ensures runtime health checks |
| Internal 30µA pullups on all outputs | Reduces BOM count by removing four external pullup resistors; maintains compatibility with 5.5V logic interfaces |
| Margin enable function | Allows safe deassertion of all outputs during production voltage-margin testing - avoids unintended system resets |
| Wide operating temperature range | -40°C to +125°C rating meets AEC-Q100 Grade 0 requirements for under-hood and industrial control applications |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad-voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3307-33DGNR | Triple-supply monitor (3.3V/3.3V/3.3V); no adjustable thresholds; no watchdog; 20-pin TSSOP | Limited to identical-rail systems; lacks margin enable and capacitor-adjustable timeout | Choose only for simple 3.3V-only designs where cost is primary and feature set is minimal |
| ADM1085AKSZ-REEL7 | Single 3.3V supervisor with manual reset; no multi-rail capability; no watchdog; 5-pin TSOT | Cannot monitor more than one voltage; unsuitable for multivoltage ASIC/FPGA platforms | Use only for legacy board-level reset generation where quad monitoring is unnecessary |
Compared with TPS3307-33DGNR and ADM1085AKSZ-REEL7, the MAX16001BTE+ uniquely delivers four independently configurable voltage monitors, integrated watchdog with startup delay, and margin-enable functionality - making it the only option among the three suitable for modern multivoltage server and telecom infrastructure designs.

FAQ
What voltage thresholds does the MAX16001BTE+ monitor by default?
The MAX16001BTE+ monitors four voltages with factory-configured thresholds: IN1 = 3.3V, IN2 = adjustable (via external resistor divider), IN3 = adjustable, and IN4 = 1.8V. This specific variant (B suffix) assigns fixed thresholds to IN1 and IN4 while leaving IN2 and IN3 fully adjustable down to 0.4V - ideal for systems with custom or nonstandard supply rails alongside standard 3.3V/1.8V domains. The MAX16001BTE+ datasheet Table 1 confirms this configuration.
Does the MAX16001BTE+ include a watchdog timer, and how is it configured?
Yes, the MAX16001BTE+ integrates a watchdog timer with a typical timeout of 1.6s and a 54s startup delay after reset release. It is enabled by default and cleared on any rising or falling edge at the WDI pin. Leaving WDI unconnected disables the timer. The MAX16001BTE+ does not require external components for basic watchdog operation, and its leakage current (<400nA) ensures compatibility with low-power microcontroller GPIOs.
How is the reset timeout period set on the MAX16001BTE+?
The MAX16001BTE+ offers two reset timeout modes: internal fixed minimum (140ms) or capacitor-adjustable. To use the internal timeout, connect the SRT pin to VCC. To extend the timeout, connect a capacitor from SRT to GND; the period follows tRP (s) = 2.06 × 10⁶ × CSRT (F), yielding ~2.43ms with 100pF and ~3.92ms with 1500pF. This flexibility allows the MAX16001BTE+ to match diverse processor boot timing requirements without firmware changes.
What is the purpose of the MARGIN pin on the MAX16001BTE+?
The MARGIN pin on the MAX16001BTE+ is an active-low input that forces all outputs (RESET and OUT1–OUT4) into a high-impedance or deasserted state, regardless of monitored voltage conditions. This enables safe voltage margin testing during production or field calibration - for example, temporarily lowering a supply rail to verify system robustness without triggering unintended resets. The MAX16001BTE+ maintains this deasserted state as long as MARGIN is held low.
Is the MAX16001BTE+ qualified for automotive applications?
The MAX16001BTE+ is not AEC-Q100 qualified. Only the MAX16001ATE/V+ and MAX16001DTE/V+ variants carry AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualification. The MAX16001BTE+ is rated for -40°C to +125°C operation and widely deployed in industrial and computing applications, but automotive-grade deployment requires explicit validation of the AEC-Q100-certified versions - not the MAX16001BTE+.
