Product details
Overview
The MAX16002ATC+ from Maxim Integrated is a quad-voltage microprocessor supervisor IC in a 12-pin TQFN (4mm × 4mm) package, monitoring four independent supply rails (e.g., 3.3V, 2.5V, adjustable, 1.8V) with fixed or 5%/10% tolerance thresholds, featuring a watchdog timer (1.6s timeout), 140ms min reset timeout, and open-drain outputs with internal 30µA pullups - used for power sequencing and fault detection in multivoltage server and storage systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX16002ATC+ datasheet, MAX16002ATC+ pinout, MAX16002ATC+ application, or MAX16002ATC+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its quad-supply monitoring capability, integrated watchdog with startup delay, capacitor-adjustable reset timeout, manual reset and margin enable inputs, and guaranteed operation down to VCC = 1V in automotive-grade temperature range (–40°C to +125°C).
Technical Context
The MAX16002ATC+ implements a voltage-monitoring architecture with four independent comparator-based input channels (IN1–IN4), each configurable via TOL pin for 5% or 10% threshold tolerance. Its RESET output asserts when any monitored voltage falls below its threshold or MR is pulled low, holding for ≥140ms after recovery.
It integrates a watchdog timer with 1.6s typical timeout and 54s startup delay, disabled by leaving WDI floating. All outputs are open-drain with internal 30µA pullups, eliminating external resistors while supporting up to 5.5V drive voltage - enabling direct interfacing with diverse logic families across complex ASIC power domains.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Monitored Voltages | Four independent rails: e.g., 3.3V, 2.5V, adjustable (≥0.4V), 1.8V - supports mixed-voltage ASIC and FPGA power domains |
| Reset Timeout | Min 140ms (internally set); adjustable up to seconds via external capacitor on SRT pin - ensures reliable boot sequencing |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.12–2.40s (typ 1.6s) with 35–72s startup delay - prevents lockup during firmware initialization |
| Supply Voltage Range | VCC = 1.0V to 5.5V - guarantees correct logic state even during brownout conditions |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for industrial and extended-temperature embedded applications |
| Output Type | Open-drain with internal 30µA pullup - eliminates need for external pullup resistors, reduces BOM count |
| Threshold Accuracy | ±1.5% over temp (e.g., 3.3V threshold = 3.053V typ at TOL = GND) - enables precise undervoltage detection |
Pinout & Package
Package: 12-pin TQFN (4mm × 4mm), exposed pad (EP) internally connected to GND - provides low thermal resistance for high-reliability operation in dense PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 10, 11 | IN1–IN4 | Four independent monitored voltage inputs; thresholds configurable via TOL pin (5% or 10% tolerance) |
| 3 | GND | Ground reference for all analog comparators and digital logic - must connect EP to ground plane |
| 4 | VCC | Unmonitored bias supply (1.0–5.5V); requires 0.1µF bypass capacitor to GND |
| 7 | MARGIN | Active-low manual deassert input - pulls all outputs high regardless of input voltages during margin testing |
| 12 | TOL | Threshold tolerance select: GND = 5%, VCC = 10% - sets hysteresis and accuracy for all IN_ inputs |
| 9 | MR | Active-low manual reset input - asserts RESET low; internal 20kΩ pullup to VCC |
| 8 | SRT | Set reset timeout input - connect capacitor to GND to extend timeout beyond 140ms (tRP = 2.06MΩ × CSRT) |
| 6 | RESET | Active-low open-drain reset output - asserts if any IN_ fails or MR is asserted; internal 30µA pullup |
| 5 | WDI | Watchdog timer input - edge-triggered; left floating disables watchdog; 400nA leakage enables low-power monitoring |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quad independent voltage monitors | Enables simultaneous supervision of CPU core, I/O, memory, and auxiliary rails without external comparators |
| Capacitor-adjustable reset timeout | Supports system-specific boot timing requirements from 140ms to >1s via single external capacitor |
| Integrated watchdog with startup delay | 54s initial window prevents false resets during slow-boot firmware execution before watchdog activation |
| Internal 30µA output pullups | Eliminates four external pullup resistors, reducing layout area and component cost in space-constrained designs |
| Margin enable function | Allows safe deassertion of all outputs during production voltage-margin testing without altering power rail behavior |
Applications
| Storage Equipment | Servers |
|---|---|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Margin enable (MARGIN) input allows temporary deassertion of all outputs to verify ASIC functionality at ±5% supply deviation. Use Value: Eliminates need for external logic to gate reset signals during test - simplifies test fixture design and improves repeatability. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad-voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX16001ATC+ | Same 12-pin TQFN package and pinout; identical quad-monitoring, watchdog, and reset architecture - differs only in factory-programmed threshold configuration (e.g., MAX16001A = 3.3V/2.5V/ADJ/1.8V like MAX16002A) | No functional difference in circuit integration; selected based on exact threshold variant required for target rail voltages | Choose MAX16001ATC+ only if matching the same threshold variant (e.g., "A" suffix) is confirmed in design documentation |
| TPS3307-33D | Triple-supply monitor (not quad); no integrated watchdog; fixed 3.3V/3.0V/2.5V thresholds; 20-pin TSSOP package - lacks MARGIN, SRT, and WDI pins | Requires external watchdog IC and additional voltage monitor for fourth rail - increases BOM and layout complexity | Select only when quad monitoring and watchdog are not required, and footprint compatibility with TSSOP is acceptable |
Compared with MAX16001ATC+, the MAX16002ATC+ offers identical functionality and pin compatibility but targets different factory-configured threshold variants; versus TPS3307-33D, it delivers integrated quad monitoring and watchdog in a smaller TQFN footprint - reducing total solution size and component count.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range for the MAX16002ATC+?
The MAX16002ATC+ operates from VCC = 1.0V to 5.5V. Its internal comparators and logic remain functional and guarantee correct output states down to 1.0V, enabling robust operation during brownout conditions. This specification is validated across the full –40°C to +125°C temperature range and is not dependent on external components.
How does the watchdog timer on the MAX16002ATC+ behave during power-up?
The MAX16002ATC+ watchdog timer enters a 54-second startup delay after reset assertion, allowing firmware sufficient time to initialize before watchdog monitoring begins. During this period, no WDI transitions are required. After startup, the timer times out after 1.12–2.40s (typ 1.6s) if WDI remains static - resetting the system unless cleared by an edge transition.
Can the reset timeout of the MAX16002ATC+ be adjusted, and how?
Yes. The MAX16002ATC+ reset timeout is internally set to a minimum of 140ms when SRT is tied to VCC. To extend it, connect an external capacitor between SRT and GND. The timeout follows tRP = 2.06 × 10⁶ Ω × CSRT (F), enabling precise adjustment - e.g., 100nF yields ~206ms, and 1500pF yields ~3.09ms per datasheet specifications.
What is the purpose of the MARGIN pin on the MAX16002ATC+?
The MARGIN pin on the MAX16002ATC+ is an active-low input that forces all output signals (including RESET) into a high-impedance or deasserted state, regardless of monitored input voltages. This enables safe voltage margin testing - for example, lowering a supply rail by ±5% while verifying ASIC functionality without triggering spurious resets.
Does the MAX16002ATC+ require external pullup resistors on its outputs?
No. The MAX16002ATC+ features internal 30µA pullup currents on all open-drain outputs (RESET and monitored OUTx pins), eliminating the need for external pullup resistors. Each output can also be driven by an external voltage up to 5.5V, supporting mixed-voltage interface scenarios without level shifters.
