Product details
Overview
MAX16023PTAT18+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power battery-backup circuit with integrated 1.8V fixed-output LDO, 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 output, and operates from 1.53V to 5.5V input. It is designed for SRAM/RTC backup power in brownout conditions where main supply fails.
For engineers reviewing the MAX16023PTAT18+T datasheet, MAX16023PTAT18+T pinout, MAX16023PTAT18+T application, or MAX16023PTAT18+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.8V regulated output accuracy (±2.5%), 145ms reset timeout, 4µA typical supply current, and 8-pin TDFN package with exposed pad - all critical for space-constrained, low-quiescent-power memory retention designs.
Technical Context
The MAX16023PTAT18+T integrates a low-dropout linear regulator, precision reset supervisor with 3.08V threshold (±3.3% over temperature), and battery switchover control that activates only when VCC < VTH, VCC < VBATT, and LDO is in dropout. Its reset logic includes debounced manual-reset input (MR) and 20µs VCC-falling delay.
It provides system-level monitoring via dedicated PFI/PFO comparator inputs/outputs (0.59V threshold, 30mV hysteresis), supports battery freshness seal activation, and uses internal 30kΩ MR pullup. All functions are fully specified across –40°C to +85°C with UL® certification per IEC 60950-1.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Regulated Output Voltage | 1.8V ±2.5% (1.704V–1.900V) - ensures stable bias for 1.8V SRAM/RTC during backup mode |
| Reset Threshold Voltage | 3.08V (min 2.991V, max 3.239V) - triggers reset before main supply drops below critical logic level |
| Supply Current (VCC) | 4µA typical at +25°C - enables multi-year battery life in always-on backup applications |
| Output Current Capability | 100mA continuous - sufficient to power 256KB–1MB SRAM or RTC with oscillator |
| Dropout Voltage | 200mV at 50mA load (1.8V output) - allows operation down to ~2.0V VCC before switchover |
| Reset Timeout Period | 145ms minimum - meets JEDEC JESD8-12B requirement for reliable µP initialization |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and extended-temperature embedded systems |
Pinout & Package
MAX16023PTAT18+T is housed in an 8-pin 3mm × 3mm TDFN-EP package with exposed thermal pad connected internally to GND. The package supports high thermal efficiency and compact PCB layout for portable and space-constrained applications.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | Main supply input (1.53V–5.5V); bypassed with 0.1µF capacitor to GND for noise immunity |
| 2 | BATT | Backup battery input; powers LDO during brownout when VCC < VTH and VCC < VBATT |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input; internally pulled up to VCC (30kΩ); no external debounce required |
| 4 | PFI | Power-fail comparator input; monitors external voltage via resistive divider (threshold = 0.59V) |
| 5 | PFO | Active-low power-fail output; asserts when PFI falls below 0.59V, used for early warning or interrupt |
| 6 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference; connects to exposed pad for thermal and electrical integrity |
| 7 | RESET | Active-low push-pull reset output; asserts on VCC drop or MR low; 145ms timeout after recovery |
| 8 | OUT | 1.8V regulated LDO output; requires 10µF low-ESR capacitor to GND for stability and transient response |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Battery freshness seal | Disconnects BATT from OUT until first VCC power-up, preserving shelf life of backup battery |
| Debounced manual reset | MR input immune to <100ns glitches; eliminates need for external RC filtering or firmware debounce |
| Low-dropout regulation | 200mV dropout at 50mA enables operation with weak or aging batteries (e.g., coin cells) |
| UL® certified safety | Complies with IEC 60950-1 - simplifies end-equipment safety certification for industrial/medical use |
| Power-fail comparator | Independent 0.59V threshold with 30mV hysteresis - monitors auxiliary rails without loading main supply |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar battery-backup supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX16024PTBT18+T | 10-pin TDFN; adds CEIN/CEOUT gating and BATT ON indicator; same 1.8V output and 3.08V reset threshold | Required when chip-enable signal locking during reset is needed to prevent SRAM write corruption | Select MAX16024PTBT18+T if CE gating or battery-status indication is mandatory; otherwise MAX16023PTAT18+T offers smaller footprint and lower cost |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Standalone 3.3V supervisor (no LDO); 3.08V reset threshold; 1.6µA IQ; SOT-23-6 package | Lacks integrated LDO and battery switchover - requires external 1.8V regulator and diode-OR circuit | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR only if system already has dedicated 1.8V LDO and needs minimal-footprint reset supervision only |
Compared with MAX16024PTBT18+T, MAX16023PTAT18+T saves board space and cost by omitting CE gating, while matching core backup functionality. Versus TPS3808G33DBVR, it eliminates two external components (LDO + OR-ing diode) and reduces total solution size by 40%, despite higher pin count than the SOT-23.

FAQ
What is the exact regulated output voltage of MAX16023PTAT18+T and how tightly is it specified?
The MAX16023PTAT18+T delivers a factory-trimmed 1.8V output with guaranteed accuracy of ±2.5% (1.704V to 1.900V) over –40°C to +85°C and 1mA–100mA load. This specification ensures compatibility with 1.8V SRAM and RTC ICs without requiring external trimming or feedback networks. The MAX16023PTAT18+T achieves this via laser-trimmed internal bandgap and error amplifier compensation.
Does MAX16023PTAT18+T support automatic switchover to battery power, and what conditions trigger it?
Yes, MAX16023PTAT18+T automatically switches the OUT regulator from VCC to BATT when three conditions are simultaneously met: VCC falls below the 3.08V reset threshold, VCC is lower than VBATT, and the LDO enters dropout. This prevents brownout-induced data loss in SRAM/RTC. The MAX16023PTAT18+T implements this logic in hardware with no firmware dependency.
What is the function of the PFI and PFO pins on MAX16023PTAT18+T, and can they monitor voltages other than VCC?
PFI is a dedicated input for an external resistive divider; PFO is its active-low comparator output referenced to a precise 0.59V internal threshold. They enable monitoring of any DC rail - including negative supplies - by configuring the divider appropriately. The MAX16023PTAT18+T's PFI/PFO pair operates independently of the main reset circuit and draws only ±1µA input current.
How does the battery freshness seal work in MAX16023PTAT18+T, and how is it activated?
The MAX16023PTAT18+T battery freshness seal isolates BATT from OUT until VCC is applied for the first time, preventing premature discharge of backup batteries during storage. It latches on power-up and remains engaged until re-enabled via a specific sequence: drive MR > VBATT + 1.2V for ≥3µs while pulling OUT to 0. This feature is intrinsic to the MAX16023PTAT18+T silicon design.
What are the thermal and packaging specifications for MAX16023PTAT18+T, and how should the exposed pad be handled?
MAX16023PTAT18+T uses an 8-pin 3mm × 3mm TDFN-EP package with θJA = 41°C/W. The exposed pad (EP) is internally connected to GND and must be soldered to a large PCB ground plane for optimal thermal dissipation and EMI performance. It is not intended as the sole ground connection - standard pin 6 (GND) must also be routed.
