Product details
Overview
MAX16011TAA+ from Analog Devices is a dual-comparator overvoltage/undervoltage protection IC in an 8-pin TDFN package, operating from 5.5V to 72V supply voltage, featuring open-drain outputs rated to 72V, 2μs max propagation delay, and 0.5% hysteresis for noise-immune window detection-used in telecom power supervision and industrial 48V system monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the MAX16011TAA+ datasheet, MAX16011TAA+ pinout, MAX16011TAA+ application, or MAX16011TAA+ equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, confirmed pin roles, exact hysteresis value (0.5%), true UVLO threshold (4.75–5.25V), and real-world comparator logic behavior with LOGIC-selectable OUTB polarity.
Technical Context
The MAX16011TAA+ integrates two independent high-voltage comparators with internal 1.245V threshold reference (±0.015V), adjustable via external resistor dividers on INA+ and INB− inputs. Its EN input is active-high, and OUTB logic polarity is configurable via the LOGIC pin-low for standard undervoltage/overvoltage assertion, high for inverted output behavior.
It features internal undervoltage lockout (UVLO) that forces both outputs low below 4.75V, and supports fast 2μs response to transient overvoltage events. The device operates across −40°C to +125°C and draws only 20–40µA supply current, enabling always-on protection in high-reliability 48V telecom and server power rails.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 5.5V to 72V - enables direct monitoring of 48V telecom, multicell battery stacks, and industrial HV rails without external regulators. |
| Threshold Voltage (VTH+) | 1.245V (typ) - precise internal reference used with external resistive dividers to set custom UV/OV trip points. |
| Hysteresis | 0.5% - ensures stable window detection against noise in high-transient environments like telecom line cards. |
| Propagation Delay | 2μs (max) - guarantees rapid fault response for protecting downstream DC-DC converters and FPGAs. |
| UVLO Threshold | 4.75V to 5.25V - disables outputs during brownout, preventing false triggering during startup or low-VCC conditions. |
| Output Type | Open-drain (OUTA/OUTB) - allows flexible pull-up to any rail ≤72V and wired-OR interfacing with system supervisors. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive modules and industrial control cabinets. |
Pinout & Package
MAX16011TAA+ uses an 8-pin 3mm × 3mm TDFN-EP package with exposed pad (EP) tied to GND for thermal and EMI performance. Pin numbering follows standard top-view orientation with Pin 1 at top-left corner.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 INA+ | Noninverting input for undervoltage comparator | Monitors falling voltage; OUTA asserts low when INA+ drops below VTH− (1.223V typ). |
| 2 OUTA | Open-drain undervoltage output | Drives low when monitored rail falls below UV threshold; requires external pull-up to VCC or system supervisor rail. |
| 3 EN | Active-high enable input | Enables comparators when high; forces OUTA/OUTB low when low-supports system-level power sequencing. |
| 4 INB− | Inverting input for overvoltage comparator | Monitors rising voltage; OUTB asserts low (LOGIC = low) or high (LOGIC = high) when INB− exceeds VTH+. |
| 5 VCC | Positive supply input | Accepts 5.5V–72V; powers internal regulator and comparators; bypass with ≥0.1µF capacitor to GND. |
| 6 GND | Ground reference | Return path for all internal circuitry; EP must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal stability. |
| 7 LOGIC | OUTB logic polarity select | Connect to GND for standard OUTB (low = OV), VCC for inverted OUTB (high = OV)-no external components needed. |
| 8 OUTB | Open-drain overvoltage output | Configurable polarity output; used for fault signaling to microcontrollers or PMICs in redundant power systems. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent comparators | Simultaneous UV and OV monitoring on single chip-eliminates need for discrete comparators and reference ICs in 48V power rails. |
| 0.5% hysteresis (TAA variant) | Minimizes chatter during slow-rising/falling transients-critical for reliable operation in FireWire® and notebook battery stack applications. |
| 72V-tolerant open-drain outputs | Direct interface to 48V or 60V system buses without level-shifting-reduces BOM count and layout complexity. |
| LOGIC-configurable OUTB polarity | Hardware-selectable output inversion avoids firmware changes when reusing design across multiple platforms (e.g., telecom vs. industrial). |
| −40°C to +125°C operation | Validated performance across full industrial temperature range-enables deployment in uncooled base station power modules. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar overvoltage/undervoltage detection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX16010TAA+ | Features complementary EN/EN inputs instead of single active-high EN; identical comparator architecture, threshold, and hysteresis. | Preferred where system-level enable logic requires both active-high and active-low control signals (e.g., legacy telecom shelf managers). | Select MAX16010TAA+ only if complementary enable functionality is required; otherwise MAX16011TAA+ simplifies control wiring. |
| TLV809E33DBZR | Single-channel 3.3V reset IC with fixed threshold, no hysteresis adjustment, 1.6V–6V supply range, and no 72V output tolerance. | Limited to low-voltage MCU reset applications-not suitable for 48V telecom or battery-stack monitoring. | Use TLV809E33DBZR only for sub-6V digital supply monitoring; MAX16011TAA+ is mandatory for HV industrial/telecom use cases. |
Compared with MAX16010TAA+, MAX16011TAA+ reduces enable signal routing complexity; compared with TLV809E33DBZR, it enables direct 48V rail monitoring with programmable thresholds and 72V fault signaling-making it irreplaceable in high-voltage protection architectures.

FAQ
What is the exact hysteresis value specified for MAX16011TAA+?
The MAX16011TAA+ has a guaranteed hysteresis of 0.5%, corresponding to the "A" suffix in its part number. This value is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table (VTH− = 1.223V typ, VTH+ = 1.245V typ), yielding 0.5% relative hysteresis around the 1.245V threshold. It is not user-adjustable and applies to both INA+ and INB− inputs.
How does the LOGIC pin affect MAX16011TAA+ output behavior?
The LOGIC pin on MAX16011TAA+ selects OUTB polarity: when tied to GND, OUTB goes low during overvoltage; when tied to VCC, OUTB goes high during overvoltage. This hardware-selectable inversion eliminates firmware dependency and supports reuse across systems with differing fault-signaling conventions-verified in Table 2 of the datasheet.
Can MAX16011TAA+ monitor voltages above 72V?
No. MAX16011TAA+ has an absolute maximum VCC rating of +80V, but its specified operating supply range is strictly 5.5V to 72V. Inputs INA+, INB−, and outputs OUTA/OUTB are rated for up to +12V and +80V respectively, but sustained operation above 72V violates datasheet specifications and risks reliability degradation-confirmed in Absolute Maximum Ratings.
What is the purpose of the exposed pad (EP) on MAX16011TAA+?
The exposed pad (EP) on MAX16011TAA+ must be soldered to the PCB ground plane. It serves dual functions: thermal dissipation (reducing junction temperature rise under load) and EMI suppression (providing low-inductance ground return). Failure to connect EP to GND degrades thermal performance and may cause instability-documented in Package Information section.
Does MAX16011TAA+ include an internal voltage reference?
Yes. MAX16011TAA+ contains an internal precision 1.245V (typ) reference used for both INA+ and INB− comparator thresholds. This reference is trimmed and stable over temperature (±0.015V variation from −40°C to +125°C), enabling accurate window detection without external references-confirmed in Electrical Characteristics and Functional Diagram.
