Product details
Overview
MAX16016PTBR+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit that monitors VCC supply voltage, provides battery-backup switchover for SRAM/RTC retention, and gates chip-enable (CE) signals to prevent memory corruption during brownout. It features a 145ms reset timeout, 1.2µA supply current, open-drain RESET output, and fixed 2.549V–2.755V reset threshold (suffix R). Used in GPS modules and point-of-sale terminals requiring reliable power-fail response.
For engineers reviewing the MAX16016PTBR+T datasheet, MAX16016PTBR+T pinout, MAX16016PTBR+T application, or MAX16016PTBR+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 10-pin TDFN package, battery-freshness seal, integrated watchdog timer (1.2s timeout), power-fail comparator (0.590V threshold), and CE gating with 1.5ns propagation delay - all validated for -40°C to +85°C operation.
Technical Context
The MAX16016PTBR+T implements a dual-path power-switching architecture: when VCC falls below its reset threshold (2.63V typ) and VBATT > VCC, it disconnects VCC from OUT and connects BATT to maintain memory backup. Its internal watchdog timer triggers reset if WDI remains static beyond 1.235s (max), while the PFI comparator monitors auxiliary rails down to 0.590V with 30mV hysteresis.
It integrates a debounced manual reset input (MR) with 30kΩ internal pullup, active-low open-drain RESET output with 20µs falling-edge delay, and battery-status indicators (BATTON, BATTOK). The device operates from 1.53V to 5.5V and draws only 0.25µA in battery-backup mode - enabling long-term RTC/SRAM retention on coin cells.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.549V (min) to 2.755V (max); ensures reliable µP reset before VCC drops below 3.0V logic margin |
| Reset Timeout Period | 145ms (min); guarantees sufficient hold time for µP initialization after power recovery |
| Supply Current | 3.4µA (typ) at VCC = 5.5V; enables ultra-low-power system monitoring without burdening main rail |
| Battery-Backup Current | 0.25µA (typ) at VCC = 0V; extends CR2032 battery life to >10 years in RTC applications |
| Power-Fail Threshold | 0.590V (typ); supports precise low-voltage monitoring of auxiliary supplies via resistive divider |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.235s (max); detects firmware hangs in embedded systems without external timing components |
| VCC-to-OUT On-Resistance | 2.6Ω (typ) at VCC = 1.91V; minimizes voltage drop during main-supply operation |
Pinout & Package
MAX16016PTBR+T is housed in a 10-pin 3mm × 3mm TDFN-EP package with exposed pad (EP) connected to GND for thermal management. Pin 1 is VCC; pin 10 is OUT; pin 8 is GND; pin 9 is RESET (open-drain).
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 VCC | Main supply input | Bypassed with 0.1µF capacitor; powers internal circuitry and drives RESET/PFO outputs |
| 2 BATT | Backup battery input | Connects to coin cell; sources OUT during VCC brownout with <0.55µA standby leakage |
| 3 MR | Manual reset input | Active-low; internally pulled up to VCC (30kΩ); initiates reset independent of VCC level |
| 4 PFI | Power-fail comparator input | Accepts resistive divider; referenced to 0.590V internal threshold for auxiliary rail monitoring |
| 5 WDI | Watchdog timer input | Rising/falling edge clears timer; static state >1.235s triggers reset pulse |
| 6 BATTON | Battery-on indicator | Active-high; signals valid battery-backup mode for system-level power-state awareness |
| 7 PFO | Power-fail output | Active-low open-drain; asserts when PFI falls below threshold, enabling NMI or alert signaling |
| 8 GND | Ground reference | Primary return path; EP must be soldered to large ground plane for thermal performance |
| 9 RESET | Reset output | Open-drain; pulls low during VCC brownout, MR assertion, or watchdog timeout |
| 10 OUT | Switched output | Connected to VCC or BATT based on switchover logic; powers SRAM/RTC in backup mode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Battery freshness seal | Prevents premature discharge during storage by isolating BATT until first power-up |
| Integrated CE gating | 1.5ns propagation delay enables use with high-speed µPs; prevents memory write errors during brownout |
| Debounced manual reset | No external RC required; 120ns MR-to-RESET delay ensures noise immunity in industrial environments |
| Low-line output (LL) | Asserts 2.5% above reset threshold to provide early warning for orderly software shutdown |
| UL® certification | IEC 60950-1 compliance simplifies safety approval for end equipment in industrial and consumer markets |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar supervisory circuit applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX16020PTEZ+ | 16-pin TQFN; adds CEIN/CEOUT gating, LL output, and BATT_TEST; push-pull RESET | Required for systems needing chip-enable control and low-line early-warning interrupt | Select when CE signal protection and dual reset outputs (RESET/WDO) are mandatory |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single-supply reset IC; no battery switchover, no CE gating, no watchdog; 3.3V fixed threshold | Suitable only for basic reset generation without backup or memory protection functions | Choose only for cost-sensitive designs where battery backup and CE control are omitted |
Compared with MAX16020PTEZ+, MAX16016PTBR+T offers smaller footprint and lower quiescent current but lacks CE gating and low-line warning. Versus TPS3808G33DBVR, it delivers full battery-backup supervision and integrated watchdog - essential for data-critical portable systems.

FAQ
What is the reset threshold voltage range for MAX16016PTBR+T?
The MAX16016PTBR+T has a reset threshold range of 2.549V (min) to 2.755V (max), with a typical value of 2.63V. This fixed threshold is defined by the "R" suffix in the part number and is guaranteed over the full -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range. The threshold exhibits ±0.5% variation across temperature, ensuring consistent reset behavior in varying environmental conditions. MAX16016PTBR+T uses this precise trip point to initiate reset before VCC drops below safe logic levels for connected microprocessors.
Does MAX16016PTBR+T support battery backup for SRAM retention?
Yes, MAX16016PTBR+T provides automatic battery-backup switchover for SRAM retention. When VCC falls below its reset threshold and VBATT exceeds VCC, the device disconnects VCC from OUT and connects the backup battery (BATT pin) to OUT. It draws only 0.25µA in battery-backup mode, enabling multi-year retention on standard coin cells. The BATTON output signals active backup mode, and the BATT freshness seal prevents discharge during storage. MAX16016PTBR+T maintains this function without external MOSFETs or control logic.
What is the function of the WDI pin on MAX16016PTBR+T?
WDI (Watchdog Input) on MAX16016PTBR+T resets the internal watchdog timer on each rising or falling edge. If WDI remains static (high or low) longer than the timeout period (0.83s to 1.64s), the watchdog triggers a reset pulse for the full 145ms timeout duration. This detects firmware lockups in µP-based systems. To disable the watchdog, leave WDI unconnected or drive it with a three-state output. MAX16016PTBR+T requires no external components to implement this safety-critical function.
Can MAX16016PTBR+T monitor auxiliary power rails besides VCC?
Yes, MAX16016PTBR+T includes a dedicated power-fail comparator with PFI input and PFO output. PFI accepts a resistive divider from any auxiliary rail (e.g., 1.8V, 2.5V) and compares it to a precise 0.590V internal reference. When the divided voltage falls below this threshold, PFO asserts low - enabling non-maskable interrupts or system alerts. The comparator features 30mV hysteresis for noise immunity and draws less than 1µA. MAX16016PTBR+T thus supports multi-rail monitoring without additional comparators.
What package type and thermal characteristics does MAX16016PTBR+T use?
MAX16016PTBR+T uses a 10-pin 3mm × 3mm TDFN-EP package with an exposed pad (EP) internally connected to GND. Its junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) is 41°C/W, and junction-to-case (θJC) is 9°C/W, measured per JEDEC JESD51-7 on a four-layer board. The EP must be soldered to a large PCB ground plane to achieve rated power dissipation (1951mW at +70°C). This compact, thermally efficient package suits dense portable and industrial layouts. MAX16016PTBR+T operates reliably from -40°C to +85°C with full specification.
