Product details
Overview
The MAX16002BTC+ from Maxim Integrated is a low-voltage quad-voltage microprocessor supervisor IC in a 12-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 MAX16002BTC+ datasheet, MAX16002BTC+ pinout, MAX16002BTC+ application, or MAX16002BTC+ equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specifications, confirmed pin functions, real-world use cases in high-reliability computing systems, and validated alternative parts for voltage supervision design-in.
Technical Context
The MAX16002BTC+ implements a dual-mode reset architecture: RESET asserts low whenever any of its four monitored inputs (IN1–IN4) falls below its configured threshold or upon MR assertion, and remains asserted for a capacitor-adjustable or fixed 140ms timeout after all voltages recover and MR is released. Its watchdog timer starts counting after reset timeout completion and triggers RESET if WDI receives no edge within 1.6s (typ), with 54s startup delay enabled.
All four monitored inputs support fixed thresholds (3.3V/2.5V/1.8V) or adjustable thresholds (down to 0.4V) selected via TOL pin; each open-drain output (OUT1–OUT4) includes a 30μA internal pullup, eliminating external resistors while supporting up to 5.5V drive voltage. The device operates across –40°C to +125°C with guaranteed logic state down to VCC = 1V.

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN3) | Monitored input voltage 3 | Accepts fixed (e.g., 2.5V) or adjustable threshold; hysteresis = 0.5% of VTH |
| 2 (IN4) | Monitored input voltage 4 | Accepts fixed (e.g., 1.8V) or adjustable threshold; supports margin testing via MARGIN pin |
| 3 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary return path; EP must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal performance |

| 5 (OUT3) | Independent monitor output | Open-drain, 30µA internal pullup; asserts low when IN3 falls below threshold |
| 6 (OUT4) | Independent monitor output | Open-drain, 30µA internal pullup; asserts low when IN4 falls below threshold |

| 9 (OUT1) | Independent monitor output | Open-drain, 30µA internal pullup; asserts low when IN1 falls below threshold |
| 10 (IN1) | Monitored input voltage 1 | Configurable threshold (e.g., 3.3V); TOL pin selects 5% or 10% tolerance |

| 12 (TOL) | Threshold tolerance select | Connect to GND for ±5%, to VCC for ±10%; sets hysteresis and accuracy band |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Four independent voltage monitors | Enables discrete fault isolation per rail-no shared reset masking individual supply failures |
| Capacitor-adjustable reset timeout | Supports precise timing alignment with system boot sequences via SRT-to-GND capacitor (e.g., 1500pF → 3.09ms) |
| Integrated watchdog timer with startup delay | Prevents premature timeout during processor initialization (54s window before first WDI edge required) |
| Internal 30µA pullups on all open-drain outputs | Eliminates 4 external pullup resistors; reduces BOM count and layout area in space-constrained servers |
| Margin enable function | Allows safe deassertion of all outputs during production margin testing without affecting supply states |
| Guaranteed operation down to VCC = 1V | Ensures correct reset assertion during brownout or ultra-low-power sleep modes |
Applications
| Storage Equipment | Servers |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Monitoring multiple voltage rails (3.3V, 2.5V, 1.8V, 1.2V) in NVMe SSD controllers during hot-plug and power-cycle events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Quad-voltage supervisor asserting RESET only when all rails stabilize, preventing firmware corruption during incomplete power-up. Use Value: Eliminates need for discrete RC timers and manual reset buttons; reduces failure-in-time (FIT) rate by catching undervoltage faults pre-boot. | Use Scenario: Supervising core, I/O, memory, and auxiliary rails in dual-socket x86 server motherboards with complex power sequencing. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Independent OUT1–OUT4 signals feed FPGA-based power sequencer; RESET coordinates BIOS handoff after full rail validation. Use Value: Enables deterministic boot timing with 140ms fixed timeout and capacitor fine-tuning-critical for UEFI compliance and RAS requirements. |
| Networking Equipment | Multivoltage ASICs |
Use Scenario: Validating 12V, 3.3V, 2.5V, and 1.8V supplies powering packet processors and SerDes PHYs in 100G line cards. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: WDI input tied to processor heartbeat; watchdog resets system if packet processing stalls due to firmware lockup. Use Value: Adds autonomous recovery capability without host CPU intervention-improves uptime in carrier-grade infrastructure. | Use Scenario: Power-rail supervision during ASIC bring-up and characterization, where adjustable thresholds validate margining across process corners. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TOL and MARGIN pins used in automated test equipment to sweep threshold tolerance and force output deassertion. Use Value: Accelerates validation cycles by enabling in-system voltage margining without hardware rework or probe fixtures. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad-voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX16001BTC+ | Same pinout, identical quad-monitor architecture, but includes independent RESET output per rail (not shared) and no watchdog timer | Preferred where per-rail fault reporting is required instead of aggregated RESET; unsuitable for watchdog-dependent systems | Select MAX16001BTC+ only if independent rail status visibility outweighs need for watchdog safety net |
| TPS3307-18DGNR | Triple-supervisor (not quad); fixed 1.8V/3.3V/RESET thresholds; no adjustable inputs, no watchdog, no MARGIN pin | Limited to simpler 3-rail systems; lacks flexibility for custom voltage combinations or margin testing | Choose TPS3307-18DGNR only for cost-sensitive, low-complexity designs with exactly three standard rails |
Compared with MAX16001BTC+, the MAX16002BTC+ trades per-rail RESET independence for integrated watchdog functionality and shared RESET assertion-making it optimal for systems requiring autonomous recovery. Against TPS3307-18DGNR, MAX16002BTC+ provides two additional monitor channels, adjustable thresholds, and comprehensive test features essential for high-end compute platforms.

FAQ
What is the reset timeout behavior of the MAX16002BTC+ when SRT is connected to VCC?
When SRT is tied to VCC, the MAX16002BTC+ uses its internal 140ms minimum reset timeout. This fixed delay ensures RESET remains asserted for at least 140ms after all monitored voltages exceed their thresholds and MR is deasserted. The actual timeout may extend slightly (up to 280ms) due to process variation, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under tRP.
Can the MAX16002BTC+ monitor a 1.2V supply rail?
Yes, the MAX16002BTC+ can monitor a 1.2V rail using its adjustable threshold mode. With TOL = GND (±5% tolerance), the adjustable input accepts thresholds from 0.388V to 0.400V (typ), and scaling via external resistor divider allows precise monitoring of 1.2V with <1% error-verified in Table 1 for MAX16002E variant configurations.
Does the MAX16002BTC+ support watchdog timer disabling without modifying the PCB?
Yes-the MAX16002BTC+ watchdog timer is disabled by leaving the WDI pin unconnected (floating). Its open-state detector draws only 400nA, so no pullup/pulldown is needed. This enables field-upgradable watchdog enable/disable via firmware-controlled GPIO routing or zero-ohm jumper options without board revision.
How does the MARGIN pin affect the RESET output on the MAX16002BTC+?
The MARGIN pin on the MAX16002BTC+ deasserts all open-drain outputs-including OUT1–OUT4 and RESET-when pulled low. This forces them into high-impedance (high) state regardless of input voltage conditions, enabling safe margin testing of supply rails without triggering false resets or disrupting downstream logic states.
What is the maximum sink current supported by the RESET output of the MAX16002BTC+?
The RESET output of the MAX16002BTC+ supports up to 10mA sink current while maintaining VOL ≤ 0.30V at VCC = 3.3V, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This drives standard CMOS reset inputs directly and interfaces with legacy TTL logic without level-shifting circuitry.
