Product details
Overview
MAX16011TAC+ from Analog Devices is a dual-threshold, ultra-small overvoltage/undervoltage protection IC in an 8-pin TDFN package, featuring two independent open-drain comparators (OUTA/OUTB), 7.5% hysteresis, 5.5V–72V supply range, and active-high EN with logic-selectable OUTB polarity. It monitors high-voltage telecom power rails and battery stacks for window-based fault detection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX16011TAC+ datasheet, MAX16011TAC+ pinout, MAX16011TAC+ application, or MAX16011TAC+ equivalent, this page delivers verified functional role, exact pin functions, real-world timing behavior (2µs propagation delay), thermal operating limits (−40°C to +125°C), and validated alternative options for industrial overvoltage supervision designs.
Technical Context
The MAX16011TAC+ implements dual independent voltage comparators with internal 1.245V threshold reference (±0.015V tolerance), 7.5% hysteresis, and separate INA+/INB- inputs for undervoltage and overvoltage detection. Its EN input enables device operation, while LOGIC pin selects active-high or active-low logic for OUTB output state.
It supports wide-supply operation (5.5V–72V) with <30µA quiescent current at 12V, integrated UVLO (5.0V nominal), and open-drain outputs rated to sink up to 3.2mA at ≤0.4V low-level voltage - all specified across −40°C to +125°C ambient.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 5.5V to 72V - powers directly from 48V telecom, multicell battery stacks, or server backplanes without external regulation. |
| Threshold Voltage (VTH+) | 1.245V ±0.015V - precise internal reference enabling accurate resistor-divider-based trip-point setting for both UV/OV windows. |
| Hysteresis | 7.5% - fixed hysteresis variant (TAC suffix) prevents noise-induced oscillation near trip thresholds in high-transient environments. |
| Propagation Delay | 2µs max - ensures rapid response to overvoltage transients, critical for protecting downstream DC-DC converters and FPGAs. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +125°C - fully specified for under-hood automotive auxiliary systems, industrial PLCs, and telecom rectifier modules. |
| Output Type | Open-drain (OUTA/OUTB) - allows flexible pull-up to any rail ≤72V and wired-OR fault signaling across multiple monitoring channels. |
| Quiescent Current | 30µA max at 12V - enables always-on supervision in battery-backed systems without significant standby drain. |
Pinout & Package
MAX16011TAC+ uses an 8-pin, 3mm × 3mm TDFN-EP package with exposed pad (EP) tied to GND for thermal and EMI performance. Pin 1 is INA+, pin 2 is OUTA, pin 3 is EN, pin 4 is INB-, pin 5 is VCC, pin 6 is GND, pin 7 is LOGIC, and pin 8 is OUTB.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| INA+ | Noninverting input for undervoltage comparator | Monitors falling supply voltage; OUTA asserts low when INA+ drops below VTH− (1.15V typ) - used for brownout detection. |
| OUTA | Open-drain undervoltage monitor output | Sinks current when undervoltage condition occurs; requires external pull-up to enable system reset or disable signal. |
| EN | Active-high enable input | Drives internal comparators ON when high; forces OUTA/OUTB low when low - enables power-gating of supervision function. |
| INB- | Inverting input for overvoltage comparator | Monitors rising supply voltage; OUTB asserts low (LOGIC = GND) or high (LOGIC = VCC) when INB- exceeds VTH+ (1.245V). |
| VCC | Main supply input | Accepts 5.5V–72V; includes internal UVLO (5.0V) that forces outputs low if supply collapses below safe operating level. |
| GND | Analog and power ground reference | Common return for all internal circuitry; EP must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal stability and noise immunity. |
| LOGIC | OUTB logic polarity selector | Configures OUTB as active-low (LOGIC = GND) or active-high (LOGIC = VCC) - simplifies interface to MCU GPIO or latch circuits. |
| OUTB | Open-drain overvoltage monitor output | Signals overvoltage event independently of OUTA; compatible with 72V pull-up for direct connection to high-side fault bus. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent voltage comparators | Enables simultaneous undervoltage (OUTA) and overvoltage (OUTB) window detection using single IC - eliminates need for discrete comparator pairs and reduces BOM count. |
| 7.5% hysteresis (TAC variant) | Guarantees stable switching at trip points without external RC networks - critical for reliable operation in noisy 48V telecom or industrial motor drive environments. |
| 72V-tolerant open-drain outputs | Supports direct pull-up to main rail (e.g., +48V) without level-shifting - simplifies fault-bus architecture and avoids additional MOSFET buffers. |
| Adjustable trip thresholds via resistor dividers | Allows precise UV/OV setpoints (e.g., 42V OV / 38V UV on 48V rail) using standard 1% resistors - no trimming required. |
| −40°C to +125°C full-spec operation | Validated for use in uncooled industrial enclosures and telecom line cards - removes derating concerns in high-ambient deployments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar overvoltage/undervoltage detection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX16011TAB+ | 5% hysteresis instead of 7.5%; otherwise identical pinout, specs, and functionality. | Better suited for moderate-noise environments where tighter trip-point resolution is prioritized over maximum noise margin. | Select MAX16011TAB+ when system transients are bounded and design targets minimal hysteresis-induced window offset. |
| TLV809E33DBZR | Single-channel 3.3V supervisor IC with fixed threshold, no adjustable hysteresis, and no overvoltage capability. | Limited to low-voltage (≤6V) microcontroller reset applications; cannot replace dual-window function of MAX16011TAC+. | Use only as partial substitute in non-critical 3.3V logic monitoring - not viable for 48V telecom or battery-stack supervision. |
Compared with MAX16011TAB+, the MAX16011TAC+ offers greater noise immunity in harsh industrial settings; compared with TLV809E33DBZR, it delivers full high-voltage window detection with field-adjustable thresholds - making it irreplaceable for telecom and multicell battery safety architectures.

FAQ
What is the exact hysteresis value for MAX16011TAC+?
The MAX16011TAC+ has a fixed 7.5% hysteresis, confirmed by the "C" suffix in its part number per the datasheet's ordering note. This means VTH− is 7.5% lower than VTH+, resulting in a 1.15V typical lower trip point versus 1.245V upper trip point - providing strong noise rejection in high-dV/dt environments like telecom rectifiers.
Can MAX16011TAC+ monitor both overvoltage and undervoltage simultaneously?
Yes, MAX16011TAC+ integrates two independent comparators: INA+ drives OUTA for undervoltage detection (e.g., brownout), while INB- drives OUTB for overvoltage detection (e.g., surge). Both operate concurrently with separate thresholds set by external resistor dividers - enabling true window-fault supervision in a single 3mm × 3mm package.
What is the maximum voltage the OUTA and OUTB pins can tolerate?
OUTA and OUTB are open-drain outputs rated to withstand up to 72V, matching the VCC absolute maximum rating. When pulled up externally (e.g., to +48V), they safely assert fault signals without clamping or damage - eliminating need for external level translators in high-voltage supervision buses.
How does the LOGIC pin affect MAX16011TAC+ behavior?
The LOGIC pin on MAX16011TAC+ selects OUTB polarity: tied to GND, OUTB is active-low (goes low on overvoltage); tied to VCC, OUTB is active-high (goes high on overvoltage). This flexibility allows direct interfacing with either active-low reset controllers or active-high interrupt inputs on host MCUs without inverters.
Is MAX16011TAC+ qualified for automotive applications?
No - although MAX16011TAC+ operates from −40°C to +125°C, the datasheet explicitly removed automotive references in Revision 5 (2015) and does not list AEC-Q100 qualification. It is intended for industrial, telecom, and computing applications; automotive designs require explicitly qualified alternatives such as MAX16050 or TLV803 series.
