Product details
Overview
The MAX16001ETE+ from Maxim Integrated is a quad-voltage microprocessor supervisor IC in a 16-pin TQFN (4mm × 4mm) package, monitoring four independent supply rails (e.g., 3.3V, 2.5V, 1.8V, and adjustable down to 0.4V) with ±5% or ±10% threshold tolerance selection, 140ms minimum reset timeout, and integrated watchdog timer (1.6s typical timeout). It serves as a system-level power integrity guardian in multivoltage server and storage platforms.
For engineers reviewing the MAX16001ETE+ datasheet, MAX16001ETE+ pinout, MAX16001ETE+ application, or MAX16001ETE+ equivalent, key selection criteria include quad-rail monitoring capability, capacitor-adjustable reset timeout, open-drain outputs with internal 30µA pullups, watchdog timer with 54s startup delay, and guaranteed operation down to VCC = 1V - all validated across –40°C to +125°C.
Technical Context
The MAX16001ETE+ implements independent voltage comparators per monitored rail, each with programmable hysteresis (0.5% of threshold) and selectable tolerance via the TOL pin. Its RESET output asserts low if any input falls below its threshold or MR is pulled low, holding for the full timeout after recovery.
It integrates a watchdog timer that starts counting after reset timeout completion, requiring periodic WDI transitions; leaving WDI floating disables it. The SRT pin supports either fixed 140ms timeout (SRT tied to VCC) or external capacitor adjustment (tRP = 2.06 MΩ × CSRT), with internal ramp current (600nA typ) and threshold (1.235V typ) defining timing accuracy.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Monitored Rails | 4 independent inputs (IN1–IN4), configurable for fixed thresholds (3.3V/2.5V/1.8V) or adjustable down to 0.4V |
| Reset Timeout | Min 140ms (internal); adjustable up to ~3.9s via external capacitor on SRT pin |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6s typical; 54s startup delay after reset before first timeout begins |
| Supply Range | VCC = 1.0V to 5.5V; guaranteed correct logic state down to 1V |
| Threshold Tolerance | Selectable 5% (TOL = GND) or 10% (TOL = VCC) for all monitored inputs |
| Output Type | Open-drain RESET and four OUT_ outputs, each with internal 30µA pullup to VCC |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +125°C, fully specified; junction temperature rated to +150°C |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-pin TQFN (4mm × 4mm, exposed pad), outline 21-0139, land pattern 90-0070. RoHS-compliant, lead-free, moisture sensitivity level 3.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 15, 16 | IN1–IN4 | Four independent monitored voltage inputs; each compares against user-configured threshold |
| 3 | GND | Ground reference for all analog comparators and digital logic; connects internally to exposed pad |
| 4 | VCC | Unmonitored power supply input (1.0V–5.5V); powers internal circuitry and provides pullup reference |
| 5–8 | OUT1–OUT4 | Open-drain outputs asserting low when respective INx falls below threshold; 30µA internal pullup eliminates external resistors |
| 9 | MARGIN | Active-low manual deassert input; pulls all OUT_ and RESET high regardless of input conditions |
| 10 | TOL | Threshold tolerance select: GND = ±5%, VCC = ±10% for all monitored inputs |
| 11 | WDI | Watchdog timer input; edge-triggered reset; floating disables timer |
| 12 | MR | Active-low manual reset input; asserts RESET low; internal 20kΩ pullup to VCC |
| 13 | SRT | Set reset timeout: tied to VCC = 140ms min; capacitor to GND adjusts timeout |
| 14 | RESET | Active-low system reset output; asserts if any INx fails or MR is asserted; 30µA internal pullup |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quad independent voltage monitors | Enables simultaneous supervision of 3.3V, 2.5V, 1.8V, and one adjustable rail (0.4V–5.5V) without external components |
| Capacitor-adjustable reset timeout | Supports precise system boot sequencing by scaling timeout from 140ms to >3s using a single external capacitor on SRT |
| Integrated watchdog timer with startup delay | Prevents premature timeout during processor initialization with 54s grace period before first watchdog assertion |
| Internal 30µA pullups on all open-drain outputs | Eliminates need for 8 external pullup resistors (4 OUT_ + RESET), reducing BOM count and board space |
| Margin enable function | Allows safe deassertion of all outputs during voltage margin testing without altering supply conditions |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad-voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX16002ETE+ | No watchdog timer; identical quad-monitoring, pinout, and reset architecture | Suitable where system-level watchdog functionality is handled externally or not required | Select MAX16002ETE+ only if watchdog timer is unnecessary - avoids unused feature overhead and potential WDI routing complexity |
| TPS3307-33DGNR | Triple-monitor (not quad); fixed 3.3V/3.3V/3.3V thresholds; no adjustable inputs or watchdog | Limited to homogeneous 3.3V rail supervision; lacks flexibility for mixed-voltage systems | Choose only for simple 3.3V-only designs; cannot replace MAX16001ETE+ in multivoltage applications requiring 2.5V/1.8V/adjustable monitoring |
Compared with MAX16002ETE+, the MAX16001ETE+ adds watchdog supervision without changing pinout or quiescent current; versus TPS3307-33DGNR, it delivers true quad-rail flexibility and sub-1V operation - essential for modern low-voltage ASICs and servers.

FAQ
What voltage rails does the MAX16001ETE+ monitor, and how are thresholds configured?
The MAX16001ETE+ monitors four independent voltage rails (IN1–IN4). Thresholds are factory-configured per variant (e.g., MAX16001A = 3.3V/2.5V/ADJ/1.8V); adjustable inputs support monitoring down to 0.4V. Tolerance is selected via the TOL pin: GND = ±5%, VCC = ±10%. Each comparator includes 0.5% hysteresis to prevent chatter near threshold.
Does the MAX16001ETE+ require external pullup resistors on its open-drain outputs?
No. The MAX16001ETE+ integrates 30µA internal pullups on RESET and all four OUT_ outputs, eliminating the need for external pullup resistors. Each output can also be driven by an external voltage up to 5.5V, enabling level-shifting flexibility in mixed-supply systems.
How is the reset timeout period set on the MAX16001ETE+?
The MAX16001ETE+ offers two reset timeout modes: fixed 140ms minimum (SRT tied to VCC), or capacitor-adjustable (SRT connected to GND via capacitor). Timeout is calculated as tRP = 2.06 MΩ × CSRT; a 1500pF capacitor yields ~3.09ms. Internal SRT ramp current (600nA typ) and threshold (1.235V typ) define timing accuracy.
What is the function of the MARGIN pin on the MAX16001ETE+?
The MARGIN pin on the MAX16001ETE+ is an active-low manual deassert input. Pulling MARGIN low forces all OUT_ outputs and RESET into a high-impedance (deasserted) state, regardless of input voltage conditions. This enables safe voltage margin testing without disrupting system power sequencing.
Can the watchdog timer on the MAX16001ETE+ be disabled, and how?
Yes. The watchdog timer on the MAX16001ETE+ is disabled by leaving the WDI pin unconnected (floating). The internal open-state detector draws only 400nA, so WDI must not be connected to sources/sinks exceeding 200nA. When enabled, the timer requires periodic edges on WDI; failure to transition within 1.6s (typ) asserts RESET.
