Product details
Overview
MAX16028TP+ from Maxim Integrated is a triple-voltage, push-pull output supervisory and sequencing IC designed for multivoltage power-up control in high-reliability systems. It monitors three independent supply rails (e.g., 3.3V, 2.5V, 1.8V), provides capacitor-adjustable delay timing per channel (via CDLY1–CDLY3), features a push-pull RESET output, and operates across -40°C to +125°C in a 20-pin TQFN (4mm × 4mm) package - used in server power sequencing and industrial embedded controllers.
For engineers reviewing the MAX16028TP+ datasheet, MAX16028TP+ pinout, MAX16028TP+ application, or MAX16028TP+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its triple-supply monitoring capability, logic-selectable thresholds (9 options via TH0/TH1), ±1.5% adjustable threshold accuracy down to 0.5V, push-pull output drive strength, and CRESET-capacitor-adjustable reset timeout.
Technical Context
The MAX16028TP+ implements three independent voltage detector channels with programmable thresholds selected by TH0/TH1 logic inputs and tolerance set by TOL (5% or 10%). Each channel includes an active-high enable input (EN1–EN3), capacitor-adjustable delay (CDLY1–CDLY3), and push-pull output (OUT1–OUT3).
Its RESET output is push-pull, active-low, and asserts when any monitored voltage falls below threshold, any EN_ goes low, or MR is asserted; deassertion occurs only after all voltages exceed thresholds and remains delayed by either fixed 140ms (CRESET = VCC) or capacitor-adjusted timeout (CRESET to GND).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Monitored Voltages | Three independent supplies (IN1–IN3), configurable via TH0/TH1 to fixed (3.3V/2.5V/1.8V/1.5V/1.2V) or adjustable (down to 0.5V) thresholds. |
| Output Type | Push-pull OUT1–OUT3 and push-pull RESET - eliminates need for external pullups and supports direct interfacing to logic inputs of DC-DC regulators. |
| Threshold Accuracy | ±1.5% for adjustable thresholds; ±2.7% over temperature for fixed thresholds - ensures reliable detection under thermal stress in automotive/industrial environments. |
| Delay Timing | Capacitor-adjustable per channel (CDLY1–CDLY3); internal propagation delay <35µs - enables precise, independent power-rail sequencing during startup. |
| Reset Timeout | Fixed minimum 140ms (CRESET = VCC) or capacitor-adjustable (tRP = 0.5V / 500nA × CCRESET + 35µs) - guarantees sufficient processor hold time before release. |
| Supply Range | 2.2V to 28V VCC - supports wide-input industrial and telecom power domains without auxiliary biasing. |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +125°C - fully specified for under-hood, base station, and high-density server applications. |
Pinout & Package
MAX16028TP+ uses a 20-pin thin QFN package (4mm × 4mm, 0.8mm height) with exposed pad (EP) internally connected to GND. Pin numbering follows standard top-view orientation with pin 1 at top-left corner.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | Primary supply input (2.2V–28V); powers all internal circuitry; UVLO triggers full output disable below 1.9V. |
| 2 | IN1 | First monitored voltage input; threshold set by TH0/TH1/TOL; OUT1 asserts high after CDLY1 delay when IN1 exceeds threshold. |
| 3 | IN2 | Second monitored voltage input; independent threshold and delay (CDLY2); enables dual-rail sequencing without external logic. |
| 4 | IN3 | Third monitored voltage input; supports daisy-chained sequencing or standalone supervision of 1.2V–3.3V rails. |
| 5 | TOL | Threshold tolerance select: GND = ±5%, VCC = ±10% - matches system-level power supply tolerance requirements. |
| 6 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference; EP must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal and EMI performance. |
| 7 | EN1 | Active-high enable for IN1/OUT1 path; forces OUT1 low when disabled - allows digital control of individual rail enable timing. |
| 8 | EN2 | Active-high enable for IN2/OUT2; decouples monitoring from power state - critical for partial-system wake-up sequences. |
| 9 | EN3 | Active-high enable for IN3/OUT3; supports hierarchical power management where subsystems activate on demand. |
| 10 | TH1 | MSB of 2-bit threshold select; combined with TH0, selects one of nine fixed or adjustable voltage thresholds per input. |
| 11 | TH0 | LSB of 2-bit threshold select; open, GND, or VCC configuration determines IN1–IN3 threshold mapping per Table 2. |
| 12 | OUT1 | Push-pull output for IN1; drives high when IN1 > VTH and EN1 = high after CDLY1 delay - directly controls enable pin of downstream DC-DC converter. |
| 13 | OUT2 | Push-pull output for IN2; electrically isolated from OUT1 - prevents cross-talk in multi-regulator systems. |
| 14 | OUT3 | Push-pull output for IN3; compatible with 3.3V/2.5V/1.8V logic families without level-shifting. |
| 15 | RESET | Push-pull active-low reset output; asserts when any INx fails or ENx goes low; deasserts only after all conditions met and timeout expires. |
| 16 | MR | Active-low manual reset input; internal 500nA pullup allows momentary switch interface without external components. |
| 17 | CRESET | Capacitor-adjustable reset timeout input; connect to GND via CCRESET to set tRP; connect to VCC for 140ms min timeout. |
| 18 | CDLY1 | Capacitor-adjustable delay for IN1→OUT1; 250nA current source charges external cap to 1V to trigger OUT1 assertion. |
| 19 | CDLY2 | Capacitor-adjustable delay for IN2→OUT2; independent timing enables staggered rail activation (e.g., core before I/O). |
| 20 | CDLY3 | Capacitor-adjustable delay for IN3→OUT3; supports three-stage sequencing with sub-millisecond resolution. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple independent voltage monitoring | Enables simultaneous supervision of 3.3V, 2.5V, and 1.8V rails with per-channel enable and delay - replaces three discrete supervisors in space-constrained designs. |

FAQ
What is the function of the TH0 and TH1 pins on the MAX16028TP+?
The TH0 and TH1 pins on the MAX16028TP+ are logic-selectable threshold inputs that together define one of nine possible voltage thresholds for each monitored input (IN1–IN3). Configured as GND/VCC/open combinations, they select fixed values (e.g., 3.3V, 2.5V, 1.8V) or enable adjustable monitoring down to 0.5V. This eliminates external resistor networks and allows flexible rail assignment without redesigning the MAX16028TP+ circuit.
Can the MAX16028TP+ monitor a 1.0V supply rail?
Yes, the MAX16028TP+ can monitor a 1.0V supply rail using its adjustable threshold mode. With TOL = GND and appropriate resistor divider on IN1–IN3, the internal threshold becomes ~0.5V; scaling via R1/R2 allows precise setting for 1.0V detection. The ±1.5% accuracy and 0.5V minimum threshold ensure reliable operation - confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Adjustable Threshold (IN_ Falling)".
How does the CRESET pin affect reset timeout behavior in the MAX16028TP+?
The CRESET pin on the MAX16028TP+ sets the reset timeout period: connecting CRESET to VCC yields a fixed minimum 140ms timeout, while connecting it to GND via capacitor CCRESET adjusts timeout per tRP = (0.5V / 500nA) × CCRESET + 35µs. This allows precise tailoring of processor hold time - critical for systems with varying boot ROM latency - without firmware changes or external timers.
Is the MAX16028TP+ pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX16025–MAX16030 family?
No, the MAX16028TP+ is not pin-compatible with all members of the MAX16025–MAX16030 family. It uses a 20-pin TQFN package, whereas MAX16025/MAX16026 use 16-pin and MAX16029/MAX16030 use 24-pin variants. While pin functions align across the family (e.g., IN1, OUT1, CDLY1), physical pin count and layout differ - requiring separate PCB footprints for each variant.
What is the maximum sink current supported by the MAX16028TP+ push-pull outputs?
The MAX16028TP+ push-pull outputs (OUT1–OUT3 and RESET) support up to 1mA sink current at VCC ≥ 4.5V (VOL ≤ 0.35V), and up to 0.5mA at VCC ≥ 2.25V (VOL ≤ 0.3V). This is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Output Low Voltage (Push-Pull)". These drive strengths directly interface with standard CMOS/TTL inputs and most DC-DC enable pins without buffering.
