Product details
Overview
MAX16028TP+T from Maxim Integrated is a triple-voltage, capacitor-adjustable supervisory and sequencing IC with push-pull outputs, monitoring three independent supply rails (e.g., 3.3V, 2.5V, 1.8V), offering ±1.5% adjustable threshold accuracy down to 0.5V and fixed thresholds with 2.7% accuracy over temperature, used in multivoltage server power-up sequencing.
For engineers reviewing the MAX16028TP+T datasheet, MAX16028TP+T pinout, MAX16028TP+T application, or MAX16028TP+T equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, real-world timing behavior, package-validated pin functions, and selection-critical alternatives for industrial-grade power management design.
Technical Context
The MAX16028TP+T implements three independent comparator-based voltage monitors with logic-selectable thresholds (9 options via TH1/TH0), each featuring an active-high enable input (EN1–EN3) and capacitor-adjustable delay (CDLY1–CDLY3) using internal 250nA current sources charging external capacitors to 1V for precise timing control.
It integrates a shared active-low reset output (RESET) that deasserts only after all three monitored voltages exceed their thresholds, with reset timeout configurable via CRESET capacitor (or fixed 140ms minimum when tied to VCC), and supports tolerance selection (5%/10%) via TOL pin - all operating across -40°C to +125°C with 2.2V–28V VCC range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Monitored Voltages | Three independent inputs (IN1–IN3) with selectable fixed or adjustable thresholds |
| Output Type | Push-pull OUT1–OUT3 and push-pull RESET - no external pullup required |
| Threshold Accuracy | ±1.5% for adjustable monitors (down to 0.5V); ±2.7% for fixed thresholds over full temperature range |
| Delay Timing | Capacitor-adjustable IN-to-OUT delay (CDLY1–CDLY3) with 35µs base propagation + linear scaling |
| Reset Timeout | Fixed 140ms min (CRESET = VCC) or capacitor-adjustable (0.03ms to >1s) via CRESET pin |
| Operating Range | VCC = 2.2V to 28V; fully specified from -40°C to +125°C |
| Supply Current | 52µA to 80µA typical at VCC = 28V - enables low-power always-on supervision |
Pinout & Package
MAX16028TP+T is housed in a 20-pin, 4mm × 4mm × 0.8mm thin QFN (TQFN) package with exposed pad (EP) internally connected to GND. Pin pitch is 0.5mm; RoHS-compliant and lead-free.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC (Pin 9) | Supply Input | 2.2V–28V main power rail; UVLO activates below 1.9V; bypass with 0.1µF ceramic capacitor |
| IN1–IN3 (Pins 2, 3, 4) | Monitored Inputs | High-impedance (≥500kΩ) analog inputs for voltage supervision; support fixed or resistor-divider-adjusted thresholds |
| OUT1–OUT3 (Pins 15, 16, 14) | Supervisory Outputs | Push-pull, actively driven high/low - directly interface with enable pins of DC-DC regulators without pullups |
| EN1–EN3 (Pins 11, 10, 12) | Enable Inputs | Active-high digital controls; disable respective OUTx independently - critical for staged sequencing |
| CDLY1–CDLY3 (Pins 20, 19, 18) | Delay Capacitor Inputs | Internal 250nA current source charges external capacitor to 1V; sets INx-to-OUTx assertion delay |
| RESET (Pin 8) | System Reset Output | Active-low push-pull output asserting when any INx falls below threshold or ENx goes low |
| CRESET (Pin 13) | Reset Timeout Control | Connect capacitor to GND to set reset timeout; tie to VCC for fixed 140ms minimum |
| TOL (Pin 7) | Tolerance Select | GND = 5% threshold tolerance; VCC = 10% tolerance - configures hysteresis for noise immunity |
| TH0/TH1 (Pins 6, 5) | Threshold Logic Select | Two-pin binary encoding selects one of nine threshold combinations for IN1–IN3 (e.g., 3.3V/2.5V/1.8V) |
| MR (Pin 17) | Manual Reset Input | Active-low; internal 500nA pullup allows direct switch-to-GND connection - no external components needed |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple independent supervision | Three fully isolated monitor channels (IN1–IN3/OUT1–OUT3) enabling concurrent or daisy-chained sequencing |
| Logic-selectable thresholds | 9 distinct voltage combinations via TH0/TH1 pins - eliminates external resistors for common rail pairs |
| Capacitor-adjustable timing | CDLY1–CDLY3 and CRESET accept standard ceramic capacitors (100pF–100nF) for µs-to-second delay tuning |
| Push-pull outputs | Eliminates need for external pullup resistors on OUT1–OUT3 and RESET - reduces BOM count and layout area |
| Wide VCC operation | 2.2V–28V supply range supports supervision of both low-voltage logic rails and higher intermediate bus voltages |
| Automotive-grade temp range | Full -40°C to +125°C operation with guaranteed performance - suitable for industrial and telecom equipment |
Applications
| Server Power-Up Sequencing | Industrial PLC Power Management |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Controlled ramp-up of 3.3V, 2.5V, and 1.8V rails in rack-mounted servers to prevent latch-up and ensure proper FPGA/CPU initialization.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar triple-voltage supervisory and sequencing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX16027TP+ | Same pinout and functionality but open-drain outputs - requires external pullups for interfacing with 5V/12V enable inputs | Suitable where level-shifting or higher-voltage signaling (>3.3V) is needed at outputs | Select MAX16027TP+ only if open-drain flexibility is required; otherwise MAX16028TP+T reduces component count |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single-channel 3.3V supervisor with fixed threshold and no sequencing capability - lacks multi-rail coordination or adjustable delays | Limited to basic reset generation for one rail; cannot replace triple-monitoring or sequencing function | Use only as partial replacement for standalone 3.3V monitoring; not viable for full MAX16028TP+T functional substitution |
Compared with MAX16027TP+, MAX16028TP+T eliminates external pullup resistors and simplifies layout; compared with TPS3808G33DBVR, it delivers full triple-rail coordination, capacitor-timed delays, and logic-selectable thresholds - making it irreplaceable for multivoltage sequencing designs.

FAQ
What is the exact pin count and package type of MAX16028TP+T?
MAX16028TP+T uses a 20-pin thin QFN (TQFN) package measuring 4mm × 4mm × 0.8mm with 0.5mm pitch and an exposed thermal pad connected to GND. This matches the ordering code "TP+" and is confirmed in the Maxim datasheet's Ordering Information table and Pin Configurations diagram.
Does MAX16028TP+T support adjustable reset timeout, and how is it configured?
Yes, MAX16028TP+T supports adjustable reset timeout via the CRESET pin: connect a capacitor from CRESET to GND to set timeout from ~0.03ms up to several seconds, calculated as tRP = (0.5V / 500nA) × CCRESET + 35µs. Tying CRESET to VCC yields a fixed 140ms minimum timeout - a key feature confirmed in Electrical Characteristics and Applications Information sections.
How many voltage rails can MAX16028TP+T monitor, and what are the threshold options?
MAX16028TP+T monitors exactly three voltage rails (IN1–IN3) with nine logic-selectable threshold combinations via TH0/TH1 pins - including fixed options like 3.3V/2.5V/1.8V and adjustable modes down to 0.5V. This is explicitly defined in Table 2 (Input-Voltage Threshold Selector) and the Selector Guide.
What output configuration does MAX16028TP+T use, and why does it matter?
MAX16028TP+T features push-pull outputs for OUT1–OUT3 and RESET - meaning it actively drives both high and low states without external pullup resistors. This reduces BOM cost and PCB area versus open-drain alternatives like MAX16027TP+, and is clearly stated in the Selector Guide and Applications Information section.
Can MAX16028TP+T operate across automotive temperature ranges?
Yes, MAX16028TP+T is fully specified from -40°C to +125°C, with all electrical characteristics guaranteed across this range - including threshold accuracy, propagation delay, and supply current. This is documented in Absolute Maximum Ratings, Electrical Characteristics notes, and the Ordering Information table.
