Product details
Overview
MAX16023PTAT12+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power battery-backup circuit with integrated 1.2V LDO regulator, µP reset supervisor, and automatic VCC/BATT switchover logic. It delivers up to 100mA output current, features a 3.08V reset threshold (push-pull RESET), operates from 1.53V–5.5V input, and is specified for -40°C to +85°C. It is designed for SRAM/RTC backup power in brownout conditions.
For engineers reviewing the MAX16023PTAT12+T datasheet, MAX16023PTAT12+T pinout, MAX16023PTAT12+T application, or MAX16023PTAT12+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its fixed 1.2V regulated output, open-drain PFO, push-pull RESET, 3.08V reset threshold, and 8-pin TDFN package with exposed pad - all critical for memory retention integrity during main supply failure.
Technical Context
The MAX16023PTAT12+T integrates a low-dropout linear regulator (1.2V ±2.5% accuracy), a precision reset supervisor with 145ms minimum timeout and 3.08V falling threshold, and a battery switchover circuit that activates when VCC drops below both the reset threshold and VBATT while the LDO enters dropout. It includes debounced manual reset (MR) and a power-fail comparator (PFI/PFO) referenced to 0.59V with 30mV hysteresis.
This device implements a battery freshness seal that isolates BATT from OUT until VCC powers up for the first time, preserving backup battery life. Its 4µA typical supply current in active mode and 3.5–5.26µA in battery-backup mode enable ultra-low-quiescent operation essential for long-term SRAM retention in portable and industrial systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Regulated Output Voltage | 1.2V ±2.5% (factory-trimmed; ensures stable SRAM bias during backup) |
| Reset Threshold | 3.08V (VCC falling; triggers RESET before system brownout affects memory) |
| Output Current Capability | 100mA (supports typical 32KB–1MB SRAM with margin) |
| Supply Current (VCC) | 4µA typical (minimizes primary supply drain during normal operation) |
| Battery-Backup Supply Current | 3.5–5.26µA (enables >10-year coin-cell lifetime for RTC/SRAM hold) |
| Operating Voltage Range | 1.53V to 5.5V (accepts wide-input sources including Li-ion, NiMH, and regulated rails) |
| Reset Timeout Period | 145ms minimum (guarantees µP reset assertion duration compliant with JEDEC JESD22-A102) |
Pinout & Package
MAX16023PTAT12+T is housed in an 8-pin TDFN-EP (3mm × 3mm) package with exposed thermal pad connected internally to GND. The package supports high thermal efficiency and compact PCB layout for space-constrained applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VCC | Main supply input | Primary power source; bypassed to GND with 0.1µF capacitor; powers internal circuits and LDO when above dropout |
| 2 - BATT | Backup battery input | Connects to coin cell or supercap; powers LDO only during VCC brownout and dropout conditions |
| 3 - MR | Manual reset input | Active-low; internally pulled up to VCC via 30kΩ; initiates reset on falling edge with 145ms timeout |
| 4 - PFI | Power-fail comparator input | Monitors external voltage divider; trips at 0.59V with 30mV hysteresis; independent of reset circuit |
| 5 - PFO | Power-fail comparator output | Active-low open-drain; asserts when PFI falls below threshold; used for early warning or secondary reset |
| 6 - GND | Ground reference | Common return for VCC, BATT, OUT, and logic; EP must be soldered to large ground plane |
| 7 - RESET | Supervisor reset output | Active-low push-pull; drives µP reset pin directly; low-voltage specification ensures compatibility with 1.2V–3.3V I/O |
| 8 - OUT | LDO regulated output | 1.2V ±2.5% output; requires 10µF low-ESR capacitor to GND for stability and transient response |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Battery freshness seal | Prevents BATT discharge until first VCC power-up, extending shelf life and field battery longevity |
| Debounced manual reset | Eliminates need for external RC filtering; supports direct switch-to-GND connection with no added components |
| 100mA LDO with 150mV dropout @50mA | Enables reliable SRAM retention even as backup battery voltage declines to 2.0V |
| UL® certified (IEC 60950-1) | Meets safety requirements for end-equipment certification without additional isolation components |
| Low 4µA VCC supply current | Reduces primary rail loading in always-on systems such as smart meters and industrial controllers |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar battery-backup supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX16023LTAT12+T | Same functionality and pinout, but push-pull RESET instead of open-drain PFO; identical 3.08V threshold and 1.2V output | Requires pull-up resistor on PFO if external interrupt signaling needed; otherwise drop-in replacement | Select when PFO signal must drive CMOS inputs directly without external pull-up |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Dedicated 3.3V supervisor only; no integrated LDO or battery switchover; 3.08V reset threshold not available - closest is 3.06V | Requires external 1.2V LDO and discrete switchover circuit; increases component count and layout complexity | Choose only if system already provides regulated 1.2V and battery path; not suitable for integrated backup solutions |
Compared with MAX16023PTAT12+T, MAX16023LTAT12+T offers identical supervision and regulation but differs in output driver type, while TPS3808G33DBVR lacks integrated power management entirely - making MAX16023PTAT12+T the only single-chip solution for 1.2V SRAM/RTC backup with PFO flexibility.

FAQ
What is the function of the PFI and PFO pins on the MAX16023PTAT12+T?
The PFI (Power-Fail Input) pin monitors an external voltage via a resistive divider and compares it to an internal 0.59V threshold. When the divided voltage falls below this level, the PFO (Power-Fail Output) pin - an open-drain signal - pulls low to indicate impending power loss. In MAX16023PTAT12+T, PFO provides early warning independent of the main reset circuit, enabling software-controlled shutdown before VCC reaches the 3.08V reset threshold.
Does the MAX16023PTAT12+T support battery switchover without external components?
Yes, the MAX16023PTAT12+T performs fully autonomous battery switchover using internal circuitry. When VCC drops below both the 3.08V reset threshold and VBATT, and the LDO enters dropout, the device automatically transitions OUT supply from VCC to BATT. No external MOSFETs, diodes, or control logic are required - the switchover is seamless and occurs within microseconds.
What is the purpose of the battery freshness seal in the MAX16023PTAT12+T?
The battery freshness seal in MAX16023PTAT12+T disconnects the BATT pin from internal circuitry and OUT until VCC is applied for the first time. This prevents premature discharge of the backup battery during storage or before product deployment. Once VCC powers up, the seal latches open permanently, allowing BATT to engage during subsequent brownouts - ensuring maximum usable battery life in the field.
Can the MAX16023PTAT12+T be used without a backup battery?
Yes, the MAX16023PTAT12+T functions as a standalone 1.2V LDO and reset supervisor even without a battery. In this configuration, connect the BATT pin to GND. The device continues to regulate OUT from VCC, monitor reset thresholds, assert RESET on brownout, and provide PFI/PFO functionality - making it suitable for systems where backup is optional or implemented externally.
What are the thermal considerations for the MAX16023PTAT12+T in its 8-pin TDFN package?
The MAX16023PTAT12+T uses an 8-pin TDFN-EP package with θJA = 41°C/W. To maintain safe junction temperature, the exposed pad (EP) must be soldered to a solid PCB ground plane. At 100mA load and 5.5V VCC, power dissipation is ~450mW; with proper thermal land design, this yields ~19°C rise above ambient. Avoid routing high-current traces under the EP and ensure ≥200mm² copper area beneath the package for optimal heat spreading.
