Product details
Overview
MAX16026TE+ from Maxim Integrated is a dual-voltage supervisor IC with push-pull outputs, designed for precise power-up sequencing and monitoring in multivoltage systems. It monitors two independent supply rails (e.g., 3.3V and 2.5V), provides capacitor-adjustable delay timing (35µs to >1s), features ±1.5% adjustable threshold accuracy down to 0.5V, and operates across -40°C to +125°C in a 4mm × 4mm TQFN-16 package - used in server power management and industrial DC-DC control.
For engineers reviewing the MAX16026TE+ datasheet, MAX16026TE+ pinout, MAX16026TE+ application, or MAX16026TE+ equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, real-world sequencing use cases, validated alternatives, and supply-chain support for high-reliability embedded designs requiring dual-rail supervision with push-pull reset assertion.
Technical Context
The MAX16026TE+ implements two independent comparator-based voltage monitors with logic-selectable thresholds (9 options via TH1/TH0), each with dedicated enable (EN1/EN2) and capacitor-adjustable delay (CDLY1/CDLY2). Its push-pull outputs drive DC-DC enable inputs directly without external pullups, while the active-low push-pull RESET output deasserts only after both monitored voltages exceed their thresholds and remain stable for the timeout period.
It supports fixed (140ms min) or capacitor-adjustable reset timeout via CRESET, tolerance selection (5%/10%) via TOL, and operates from 2.2V to 28V VCC - enabling supervision of diverse rails including 1.2V, 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, and 3.3V domains in automotive-grade temperature ranges.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.2V to 28V - powers device from low-voltage logic rails up to industrial bus voltages without level-shifting. |
| Monitored Voltages | 2 independent inputs (IN1, IN2) - supports dual-rail sequencing (e.g., core + I/O supply) with separate timing control. |
| Threshold Accuracy | ±1.5% for adjustable mode (down to 0.5V); ±2.7% for fixed thresholds over -40°C to +125°C - ensures reliable trip points across temperature. |
| Output Type | Push-pull OUT1/OUT2 and push-pull active-low RESET - eliminates need for external pullup resistors, simplifies interface to enable pins of DC-DC regulators. |
| Delay Timing | Capacitor-adjustable (CDLY1/CDLY2) with 35µs propagation base - enables precise power-up sequencing intervals (e.g., 10ms–500ms) using standard ceramic capacitors. |
| Reset Timeout | Fixed 140ms min (CRESET = VCC) or capacitor-adjustable (CRESET to GND) - guarantees processor hold time after full rail stabilization. |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial control, and telecom infrastructure applications. |
Pinout & Package
MAX16026TE+ is housed in a 16-pin Thin QFN (TQFN-16) package, 4mm × 4mm × 0.8mm, with exposed pad (EP) internally connected to GND. Pin pitch is 0.5mm. RoHS-compliant and lead-free (+ suffix).
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | Supply input (2.2V–28V); all outputs go low if VCC drops below 1.8V UVLO; bypass with 0.1µF to GND. |
| 2 | IN1 | First monitored voltage input; threshold set by TH1/TH0/TOL; asserts OUT1 after CDLY1 delay when rising above threshold. |
| 3 | IN2 | Second monitored voltage input; independent threshold and delay (CDLY2); enables dual-rail sequencing. |
| 4 | TOL | Threshold tolerance select: GND = ±5%, VCC = ±10%; must not be left floating. |
| 5 | GND | Ground reference; connect exposed pad (EP) to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical performance. |
| 6 | EN1 | Active-high enable for IN1/OUT1 path; drives OUT1 low when low - allows digital control of first rail monitoring. |
| 7 | EN2 | Active-high enable for IN2/OUT2 path; independent gating of second rail supervision. |
| 8 | TH1 | MSB of 2-bit threshold selector (with TH0); sets nominal voltage (e.g., 3.3V, 2.5V, 1.8V, 1.5V, 1.2V, or adjustable) for both IN1 and IN2. |
| 9 | TH0 | LSB of 2-bit threshold selector (with TH1); nine total combinations define exact trip points per Table 2 in datasheet. |
| 10 | OUT1 | Push-pull output for IN1; actively drives high/low - interfaces directly to enable input of DC-DC converter without pullup. |
| 11 | OUT2 | Push-pull output for IN2; same drive strength and logic behavior as OUT1 - supports parallel or cascaded sequencing. |
| 12 | RESET | Active-low push-pull reset output; asserts low if either IN1/IN2 falls below threshold, EN1/EN2 goes low, or MR is pulled low. |
| 13 | MR | Active-low manual reset input; internal 500nA pullup allows direct switch-to-GND connection; no debounce required. |
| 14 | CRESET | Capacitor-adjustable reset timeout input; connect to VCC for 140ms min, to GND via capacitor for custom timeout (e.g., 100nF ≈ 125ms). |
| 15 | CDLY1 | Capacitor-adjustable delay input for IN1→OUT1; 250nA current source charges external cap to 1V to trigger OUT1 assertion. |
| 16 | CDLY2 | Capacitor-adjustable delay input for IN2→OUT2; identical timing architecture to CDLY1 - enables staggered power-up of two rails. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent push-pull outputs | Eliminates external pullup resistors for OUT1/OUT2, reducing BOM count and board space in dense power domains. |
| Capacitor-adjustable sequencing delays | CDLY1/CDLY2 accept standard 100pF–10nF ceramics to set precise power-up intervals (e.g., 10ms between 3.3V and 1.2V rails). |
| Logic-selectable voltage thresholds | TH1/TH0 pins configure nine fixed or adjustable thresholds - supports mixed-voltage systems without redesigning feedback networks. |
| Adjustable reset timeout with fixed fallback | CRESET pin offers design flexibility: VCC tie gives guaranteed 140ms min timeout; capacitor option enables system-specific hold times. |
| Wide VCC operating range (2.2V–28V) | Allows single device to supervise logic rails (1.2V–3.3V) and higher intermediate buses (5V–12V) using resistor dividers on IN1/IN2. |
| Automotive-grade temperature rating | Specified from -40°C to +125°C - suitable for engine control units, base station power, and industrial PLCs without derating. |

FAQ
What is the function of the TH1 and TH0 pins on the MAX16026TE+?
The TH1 and TH0 pins on the MAX16026TE+ form a 2-bit logic-selectable threshold configuration interface. Together they define one of nine possible input voltage thresholds (e.g., 3.3V, 2.5V, 1.8V, 1.5V, 1.2V, or adjustable down to 0.5V) for both IN1 and IN2. Their states (VCC, GND, or open) determine the nominal trip point per Table 2 in the MAX16026TE+ datasheet - enabling flexible adaptation to diverse supply rails without external resistor networks.
Does the MAX16026TE+ require external pullup resistors on its outputs?
No, the MAX16026TE+ does not require external pullup resistors on OUT1, OUT2, or RESET because all three outputs are push-pull configured. Each output actively drives high or low, allowing direct connection to enable inputs of DC-DC regulators or reset pins of microcontrollers operating at the same VCC level - unlike open-drain variants such as MAX16025TE+, which mandate external pullups.
How is the reset timeout period set on the MAX16026TE+?
The reset timeout period on the MAX16026TE+ is set via the CRESET pin: connecting CRESET to VCC yields a guaranteed minimum 140ms timeout; connecting CRESET to GND through an external capacitor (e.g., 100nF) adjusts the timeout per tRP = (0.5V / 500nA) + CCRESET × 10⁶ seconds. Leaving CRESET open results in internal propagation-delay-only timing (~35µs), disabling the timeout function entirely.
Can the MAX16026TE+ monitor voltages below 1.2V?
Yes, the MAX16026TE+ can monitor voltages below 1.2V using its adjustable threshold mode. With TOL = GND, the internal reference is 0.500V (±1.5%), and with appropriate resistor dividers on IN1 or IN2, it accurately supervises rails as low as 0.5V - for example, a 1.0V supply monitored via a 1:1 divider yields 0.5V at IN1, triggering OUT1 when the rail exceeds 1.0V ±1.5%.
What is the purpose of the CDLY1 and CDLY2 pins on the MAX16026TE+?
The CDLY1 and CDLY2 pins on the MAX16026TE+ provide capacitor-adjustable delay timing between voltage detection and output assertion. Each pin sources a precise 250nA current to charge an external capacitor to 1.0V; the resulting delay (tDELAY = (1.0V / 250nA) + CCDLY × 10⁶ seconds) controls sequencing intervals - e.g., a 470pF capacitor on CDLY1 yields ~20ms delay before OUT1 goes high after IN1 exceeds its threshold.
