Product details
Overview
MAX16027TP+ from Maxim Integrated is a triple-voltage supervisory and sequencing IC with open-drain outputs, designed for multivoltage power-up control in industrial and computing systems. It monitors three independent supply rails (e.g., 3.3V, 2.5V, 1.8V), provides capacitor-adjustable delay timing (via CDLY1–CDLY3), features a 140ms min fixed reset timeout (or adjustable via CRESET), and operates across -40°C to +125°C with 2.2V–28V VCC range.
For engineers reviewing the MAX16027TP+ datasheet, MAX16027TP+ pinout, MAX16027TP+ application, or MAX16027TP+ equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, confirmed 20-pin TQFN package mapping, validated triple-supply sequencing capability, exact threshold accuracy (1.5% adjustable, 2.7% fixed), and real-world interface constraints including 28V-tolerant open-drain outputs and logic-selectable thresholds via TH0/TH1/TOL pins.
Technical Context
The MAX16027TP+ implements three independent voltage comparators with user-selectable thresholds (9 options via TH0/TH1 logic inputs) and per-channel enable (EN1–EN3) and delay (CDLY1–CDLY3) controls. Each channel supports either fixed thresholds (3.3V/2.5V/1.8V/1.5V/1.2V) or adjustable down to 0.5V with ±1.5% accuracy over temperature.
Its reset generator asserts active-low RESET only after all three monitored voltages exceed their thresholds, with timeout configurable via external capacitor on CRESET (or fixed 140ms min). The device uses internal 250nA current sources to charge CDLYx capacitors and a 500nA source for CRESET, enabling precise, low-component sequencing without external timers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.2V to 28V - powers device directly from main rail; supports wide-input DC-DC systems without LDO. |
| Monitored Voltages | 3 independent inputs (IN1–IN3) - enables discrete monitoring of core, I/O, and auxiliary rails in SoC/FPGA power trees. |
| Threshold Accuracy | ±1.5% (adjustable), ±2.7% (fixed) - ensures reliable detection across automotive/industrial temp range (-40°C to +125°C). |
| Output Type | Open-drain OUT1–OUT3 & RESET - allows level-shifting up to 28V for interfacing with diverse enable/shutdown pins. |
| Delay Timing | Capacitor-adjustable (CDLY1–CDLY3) or 35µs propagation - enables precise power-up sequencing intervals from microseconds to seconds. |
| Reset Timeout | Fixed 140ms min or capacitor-adjustable (CRESET) - guarantees safe processor initialization window before release. |
| Logic Inputs | TOL, TH0, TH1 - selects 5% or 10% threshold tolerance and one of nine voltage options without firmware or configuration registers. |
Pinout & Package
MAX16027TP+ is housed in a 4mm × 4mm, 0.8mm height, 20-pin thin QFN (TQFN) package with exposed pad (EP) internally connected to GND. This thermally enhanced package supports high-density PCB layouts and meets industrial thermal requirements (-40°C to +125°C).
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | Primary supply input (2.2V–28V); powers internal circuitry and defines logic reference; requires 0.1µF bypass to GND. |
| 2 | IN1 | First monitored voltage input; threshold selected by TH0/TH1/TOL; output OUT1 asserts after CDLY1 delay when IN1 exceeds VTH. |
| 3 | IN2 | Second monitored voltage input; identical functionality to IN1 with independent EN2 and CDLY2 control. |
| 4 | IN3 | Third monitored voltage input; supports same threshold selection and delay configuration as IN1/IN2. |
| 5 | TOL | Threshold tolerance select: GND = 5%, VCC = 10%; must be driven - no floating allowed. |
| 6 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference; EP (exposed pad) is internally tied to this node. |
| 7 | EN1 | Active-high enable for IN1/OUT1 path; forces OUT1 low when low - enables digital control of sequencing stage. |
| 8 | EN2 | Active-high enable for IN2/OUT2 path; independent of EN1/EN3 for granular power domain control. |
| 9 | EN3 | Active-high enable for IN3/OUT3 path; allows disabling individual monitor channels without hardware change. |
| 10 | TH1 | MSB of 2-bit threshold selector; used with TH0 to choose one of nine input voltage options (e.g., 3.3V, 1.8V, Adj). |
| 11 | TH0 | LSB of 2-bit threshold selector; open, GND, or VCC state determines threshold set together with TH1. |
| 12 | OUT1 | Open-drain output for IN1; sinks current up to 90µA at 0.3V (VCC ≥ 1.2V); requires external pullup to target voltage (≤28V). |
| 13 | OUT2 | Open-drain output for IN2; electrically identical to OUT1; supports independent power-rail enable signaling. |
| 14 | OUT3 | Open-drain output for IN3; completes triple-output supervision; compatible with 28V DC-DC enable inputs. |
| 15 | RESET | Active-low open-drain reset output; asserts when any INx < VTH, ENx low, or MR low; requires external pullup. |
| 16 | MR | Active-low manual reset input; internal 500nA pullup allows direct switch-to-GND connection; no debounce needed. |
| 17 | CRESET | Capacitor-adjustable reset timeout input; connect to GND via CCRESET to set timeout (tRP = 0.5V / 500nA × CCRESET + 35µs). |
| 18 | CDLY1 | Capacitor-adjustable delay input for IN1→OUT1; charges at 250nA to 1V threshold; tDELAY+ = 1V / 250nA × CCDLY1 + 35µs. |
| 19 | CDLY2 | Capacitor-adjustable delay input for IN2→OUT2; identical timing architecture to CDLY1; enables staggered rail enable. |
| 20 | CDLY3 | Capacitor-adjustable delay input for IN3→OUT3; completes per-channel programmable delay capability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple independent voltage monitoring | Three fully isolated comparator channels (IN1–IN3) with individual ENx, CDLYx, and OUTx - enables modular, fault-isolated power sequencing. |
| Logic-selectable thresholds (9 options) | TH0/TH1/TOL pins configure fixed (3.3V/2.5V/1.8V/1.5V/1.2V) or adjustable (down to 0.5V) thresholds without resistors or programming. |
| 28V-tolerant open-drain outputs | OUT1–OUT3 and RESET support pullup to up to 28V - directly interfaces with high-voltage DC-DC enable/shutdown pins without level shifters. |
| Capacitor-adjustable timing (per channel) | CDLY1–CDLY3 and CRESET accept external capacitors to set delays from µs to seconds - eliminates need for RC networks or timers. |
| Industrial temperature grade | Specified from -40°C to +125°C - suitable for under-hood automotive, base station, and industrial control applications. |
| No external components for basic operation | Only bypass cap (VCC–GND) required for default 140ms reset and propagation-delay timing - reduces BOM count and layout area. |
Applications
| Server Power Sequencing | FPGA Core/I/O Voltage Control |
|---|---|
|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar triple-voltage supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX16028TP+ | Identical pinout and functionality but with push-pull (not open-drain) OUT1–OUT3 and RESET outputs. | Requires VCC-referenced pullups; unsuitable for 28V-level shifting but simplifies board design where all rails share same voltage domain. | Select MAX16028TP+ when interfacing only with same-VCC enable inputs and lower component count is prioritized over voltage flexibility. |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single-channel 3.3V supervisor with fixed threshold, no sequencing, no adjustable delay, and no multi-rail monitoring. | Lacks triple-monitoring, ENx/CDLYx control, and RESET coordination - cannot replace MAX16027TP+ in sequencing applications. | Use TPS3808G33DBVR only for standalone 3.3V rail monitoring where sequencing and multi-rail coordination are unnecessary. |
Compared with MAX16028TP+, MAX16027TP+ offers 28V-tolerant open-drain outputs essential for mixed-voltage systems, while TPS3808G33DBVR lacks both multi-rail capability and timing configurability - making it functionally incomplete as a drop-in alternative.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the MAX16027TP+ can monitor on its IN1–IN3 pins?
The MAX16027TP+ IN1–IN3 pins tolerate voltages up to (VCC + 0.3V), with absolute maximum rating of +30V. However, accurate monitoring is limited by the selected threshold - e.g., when configured for 3.3V nominal, the comparator detects deviations around that point. For higher-voltage rails (e.g., 12V), use an external resistor divider to scale the input to within the 0.5V–3.3V threshold range. The MAX16027TP+ itself does not include internal scaling.
Does the MAX16027TP+ support daisy-chained power sequencing?
Yes, the MAX16027TP+ supports daisy-chained sequencing via its open-drain outputs and enable inputs. For example, OUT1 can drive EN2 of a second MAX16027TP+, creating a cascaded startup where Rail 2 enables only after Rail 1 stabilizes. This avoids simultaneous inrush current and satisfies strict ASIC/FPGA sequencing requirements without external logic. The MAX16027TP+ datasheet confirms this topology in Figure 4.
What is the minimum reset timeout period for the MAX16027TP+ when CRESET is connected to VCC?
When CRESET is connected to VCC, the MAX16027TP+ uses its internal fixed reset timeout of 140ms minimum. This value is guaranteed over temperature (-40°C to +125°C) and supply voltage (2.2V–28V). The actual timeout may vary slightly due to process variation but will never fall below 140ms. No external capacitor is required for this mode.
Can the MAX16027TP+ monitor a 0.85V core voltage?
Yes - the MAX16027TP+ supports adjustable thresholds down to 0.5V (TOL = GND) or 0.472V (TOL = VCC). To monitor 0.85V, configure TH0/TH1 for "Adjustable" mode and use an external resistor divider on IN1–IN3. With typical input leakage of ±100nA, a 100kΩ/100kΩ divider yields ~0.425V at the pin for 0.85V input, falling within the adjustable range. Accuracy depends on resistor tolerance and leakage contribution.
Is the MAX16027TP+ pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX16025–MAX16030 family?
No - the MAX16027TP+ is not pin-compatible with MAX16025/MAX16026 (16-pin) or MAX16029/MAX16030 (24-pin). It uses a unique 20-pin TQFN footprint (T2044-3) matching only MAX16028TP+. Pin assignments differ across variants to accommodate differing channel counts and output types; PCB layout must be specific to the MAX16027TP+ 20-pin configuration.
