Product details
Overview
The MAX16005AUE+ from Maxim Integrated is a low-voltage, hex-voltage microprocessor supervisor IC in a 16-pin TSSOP package. It monitors six independent supply rails (e.g., 3.3V, 2.5V, 1.8V, and adjustable down to 0.4V), provides a dedicated watchdog output (WDO), a precision 1.235V reference (REF), and an active-low RESET with 140ms minimum timeout. It is used in multivoltage server power sequencing and fault monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the MAX16005AUE+ datasheet, MAX16005AUE+ pinout, MAX16005AUE+ application, or MAX16005AUE+ equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specifications, confirmed TSSOP-16 pin mapping, real-world use cases in storage and networking equipment, and two validated alternative parts with documented functional and packaging differences.
Technical Context
The MAX16005AUE+ implements six independent voltage comparators with selectable 5% or 10% threshold tolerance via the TOL pin, and features a dedicated watchdog timer with 1.6s typical timeout and no startup delay-unlike other family members. Its REF output delivers 1.235V ±0.035V with ≤10Ω load regulation up to 40µA, while WDO asserts independently of RESET upon watchdog timeout or input undervoltage.
All six monitored inputs (IN1–IN6) support fixed thresholds (3.3V/2.5V/1.8V) and adjustable thresholds (down to 0.4V), with 0.5% hysteresis. The device guarantees correct logic state down to VCC = 1V and operates across –40°C to +125°C, making it suitable for industrial-grade multivoltage ASIC supervision where margin testing and manual reset coordination are required.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
MAX16005AUE+ is housed in a 16-pin TSSOP package (outline 21-0066, land pattern 90-0117) with exposed pad (EP) internally connected to GND for thermal management. Pin functions are fully defined per Maxim's official pin configuration diagram for MAX16005 TSSOP.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 10, 13–15 | IN1–IN6 | Six independent monitored voltage inputs; each triggers its own fault response |
| 3 | GND | Power ground reference; EP must be soldered to PCB ground plane |
| 4 | VCC | Unmonitored bias supply (1.0–5.5V); requires 0.1µF bypass to GND |
| 5, 6, 8, 9, 11, 12 | OUT1–OUT6 | Open-drain outputs with internal 30µA pullups; no external resistors needed |
| 7 | MARGIN | Active-low deassert control; forces all outputs high during margin testing |
| 16 | TOL | Selects 5% (GND) or 10% (VCC) threshold tolerance for all IN_ comparators |
| - | REF | Precision 1.235V reference output (pin 7 in TQFN variant, but pin 9 in TSSOP per datasheet Fig. 9) |
| - | WDO | Independent watchdog output (pin 8 in TSSOP); asserts low on timeout or undervoltage |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Independent watchdog output (WDO) | Enables separate system-level watchdog signaling without interfering with main RESET assertion timing |
| Integrated 1.235V reference (REF) | Eliminates need for external reference IC in margin-test circuits; supports ≤40µA sourcing |
| Adjustable reset timeout via SRT pin | Allows fine-tuning of power-up sequencing delays using a single external capacitor (e.g., 1500pF → ~3.09ms) |
| Manual margin enable (MARGIN pin) | Permits safe deassertion of all outputs during production voltage-margin testing without disrupting supply rails |
| Open-drain outputs with internal 30µA pullups | Reduces BOM count by removing six external pullup resistors; compatible with 0–5.5V logic levels |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar hex-voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX16005AUT+ | TQFN-16 (4mm × 4mm) vs. TSSOP-16; identical electrical specs and pinout mapping except REF/WDO pin positions differ | Preferred for space-constrained PCBs; requires different land pattern (90-0070) and thermal pad layout | Select MAX16005AUT+ when board area is limited and thermal performance is prioritized over hand-solderability. |
| TPS3307-33D | Triple-supervisor (3 rails only); no REF or WDO; fixed 3.3V/2.5V/1.8V thresholds; no adjustable timeout or TOL pin | Limited to simpler systems; lacks margin enable, watchdog independence, and precision reference | Choose only if supervising exactly three fixed rails and REF/WDO functionality is unnecessary. |
Compared with MAX16005AUT+, the MAX16005AUE+ offers superior manufacturability in through-hole or reflow assembly due to TSSOP lead geometry, while retaining full feature parity. Against TPS3307-33D, MAX16005AUE+ delivers triple the monitoring capacity plus critical margining and watchdog isolation not available in the TI part.

FAQ
What is the function of the REF pin on the MAX16005AUE+?
The REF pin on the MAX16005AUE+ provides a precision 1.235V ±0.035V reference output, stable over temperature and load (up to 40µA). It is used for accurate voltage margin testing and calibration of external ADCs or DACs. Unlike generic references, REF is internally trimmed and specified with ≤10Ω load regulation, eliminating need for external buffering in most test setups. This capability is unique to MAX16005AUE+ within the MAX16000–MAX16007 family.
Does the MAX16005AUE+ include a watchdog timer, and how does it differ from other family members?
Yes, the MAX16005AUE+ includes a watchdog timer with a 1.6s typical timeout period and a dedicated WDO output. Crucially, it has no 54s startup delay - unlike MAX16001/MAX16004 - because the watchdog begins counting immediately after reset timeout completion. This makes MAX16005AUE+ suitable for fast-recovery systems where delayed watchdog activation is unacceptable. The WDO pin operates independently of RESET, enabling parallel fault signaling paths.
What are the valid threshold configurations for the six monitored inputs on the MAX16005AUE+?
The MAX16005AUE+ supports fixed thresholds (3.3V, 2.5V, 1.8V) and adjustable thresholds down to 0.4V on all six inputs (IN1–IN6). Per Table 1 in the datasheet, MAX16005A variant configures IN1=3.3V, IN2=2.5V, IN3=ADJ, IN4=1.8V, IN5=ADJ, IN6=ADJ. Threshold tolerance is selectable via TOL pin (5% at GND, 10% at VCC), and hysteresis is fixed at 0.5% of threshold voltage - a design choice that ensures noise immunity without external components.
How is reset timeout configured on the MAX16005AUE+, and what is the minimum guaranteed value?
Reset timeout on the MAX16005AUE+ is configured via the SRT pin: connecting SRT to VCC yields a minimum guaranteed 140ms timeout, while connecting an external capacitor (CSRT) between SRT and GND adjusts it per tRP = 2.06×10⁶ × CSRT. For example, 1500pF yields 3.09ms (typ). The 140ms minimum is production-tested and applies across –40°C to +125°C. This internal timeout eliminates reliance on external RC networks for basic sequencing, improving reliability in high-temperature deployments.
Can the MAX16005AUE+ operate reliably below 2.0V VCC, and what is the lowest functional supply voltage?
Yes, the MAX16005AUE+ is fully specified to operate down to VCC = 1.0V, with guaranteed correct logic state (e.g., RESET, WDO, OUTx) at that level. This is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics sections, where parameters like VOL, VOH, and ICC are tested at VCC = 1.2V and 2.5V, and Note 2 explicitly states "guaranteed correct logic state down to VCC = 1V." This enables use in ultra-low-power brownout scenarios where other supervisors fail.
