Product details
Overview
MAX16029TG+ from Maxim Integrated is a quad-voltage supervisor and sequencer in a 24-pin TQFN (4mm × 4mm) package, designed for multivoltage system power-up control. It monitors four independent supply rails (IN1–IN4), provides open-drain outputs (OUT1–OUT4) with capacitor-adjustable timing (35µs–ms range), features a 140ms min fixed or capacitor-adjustable reset timeout, and operates across -40°C to +125°C. It is used in server power sequencing where precise voltage ramp-ordering and fault isolation are critical.
For engineers reviewing the MAX16029TG+ datasheet, MAX16029TG+ pinout, MAX16029TG+ application, or MAX16029TG+ equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, confirmed 24-pin TQFN package mapping, validated open-drain output behavior up to 28V, exact threshold selection logic (TH0/TH1/TOL), and real-world sequencing timing equations derived from manufacturer-specified charge currents (250nA for CDLY_, 500nA for CRESET).
Technical Context
The MAX16029TG+ implements four independent comparator-based voltage monitors, each with logic-selectable thresholds (nine options via TH0/TH1), ±5% or ±10% tolerance selection (TOL pin), and capacitor-adjustable delay timing using internal 250nA current sources charging external CDLYx capacitors. Its reset generator uses a dedicated 500nA current source into CRESET to set timeout from 0.03ms to >1s.
All four monitored inputs support adjustable thresholds down to 0.472V (TOL = VCC) or 0.5V (TOL = GND), with 1.5% accuracy over temperature; fixed thresholds (e.g., 3.3V, 2.5V, 1.8V, 1.5V, 1.2V) maintain 2.7% accuracy. Each OUTx is open-drain, rated for 28V pullup, and independently enabled via ENx pins - enabling true daisy-chained sequencing or isolated supervision.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Monitored Voltages | Four independent inputs (IN1–IN4) with selectable thresholds - enables full 4-rail sequencing in single-chip solution. |
| Output Type | Open-drain OUT1–OUT4 and RESET - supports level-shifting to 28V supplies and direct interface to DC-DC enable/shutdown pins. |
| Threshold Accuracy | 1.5% for adjustable mode (down to 0.5V), 2.7% for fixed thresholds (3.3V/2.5V/1.8V/1.5V/1.2V) over -40°C to +125°C - ensures reliable trip points in industrial environments. |
| Delay Timing | Capacitor-adjustable IN-to-OUT delay (CDLY1–CDLY4) with 250nA current source - enables precise ms-range sequencing without external timers. |
| Reset Timeout | Internally fixed 140ms minimum or capacitor-adjustable (CRESET pin, 500nA current source) - guarantees safe processor initialization window after all rails stabilize. |
| Supply Range | VCC = 2.2V to 28V - powers directly from main system rail (e.g., 3.3V, 5V, 12V, or 24V bus) without LDO. |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +125°C - qualified for automotive under-hood, industrial PLC, and telecom base station applications. |
Pinout & Package
MAX16029TG+ is housed in a 24-pin thin QFN package (4mm × 4mm, 0.8mm height) with exposed pad (EP) internally connected to GND. The package is lead-free and RoHS-compliant.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 5 | IN1, IN2, IN3, IN4 | Four independent monitored voltage inputs - each triggers its own open-drain output when crossing selected threshold. |
| 4, 6, 10, 11 | EN1, EN2, EN3, EN4 | Active-high enable inputs - allow digital disable of individual monitor outputs without affecting others. |
| 7, 8, 12, 14 | OUT1, OUT2, OUT3, OUT4 | Open-drain outputs - require external pullup; support up to 28V, enabling direct drive of DC-DC enable inputs. |
| 9, 13, 15, 16 | CDLY1, CDLY2, CDLY3, CDLY4 | Capacitor-adjustable delay inputs - connect external capacitor to GND to set IN-to-OUT assertion delay (tDELAY+). |
| 17, 18, 19, 20 | TH0, TH1, TOL, MR | Logic-selectable threshold configuration (TH0/TH1), tolerance choice (TOL), and manual reset (MR) - enable flexible setup without firmware. |
| 21, 22, 23, 24 | CRESET, GND, VCC, RESET | Capacitor-adjustable reset timeout (CRESET), ground, supply input (2.2–28V), and open-drain active-low reset output. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quad independent monitoring | Four fully isolated voltage detectors with separate EN_, OUT_, and CDLY_ - enables modular design and fault containment per rail. |
| 9-threshold logic selection | TH0/TH1 pins select among nine combinations (e.g., 3.3V/2.5V/1.8V/1.5V/1.2V/fixed/adjustable) - eliminates need for external resistors in standard configurations. |
| Capacitor-adjustable timing | Internal 250nA (CDLY_) and 500nA (CRESET) current sources - allows precise, low-cost, no-component-delay tuning from µs to seconds. |
| 28V-tolerant open-drain outputs | OUT1–OUT4 and RESET sink up to 90µA at 0.3V with VCC ≥ 1.2V - interfaces directly with high-voltage enable pins of buck/boost controllers. |
| Manual reset with glitch immunity | MR pin has 500nA internal pullup and 280ns glitch rejection - supports momentary switch or logic-level reset without external debounce. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad-voltage supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX16030TG+ | Same pinout and functionality, but push-pull RESET and OUTx outputs - higher drive strength, no external pullup required. | Preferred where board space is constrained and 28V level-shifting is unnecessary; not suitable for mixed-voltage enable signaling. | Select MAX16030TG+ when driving local logic only; choose MAX16029TG+ when interfacing to diverse DC-DC enable inputs spanning 3.3V–28V. |
| TPS3307-33DGNR | Triple-voltage supervisor (not quad); fixed 3.3V/2.5V/1.8V thresholds; no capacitor-adjustable delay; SOT-23-8 package. | Limited to three rails; requires external RC networks for sequencing; lacks independent ENx control per rail. | Use only for simplified 3-rail systems without sequencing flexibility; MAX16029TG+ is required for 4-rail, capacitor-timed, or daisy-chain applications. |
Compared with MAX16030TG+, MAX16029TG+ offers superior interoperability with heterogeneous power architectures due to 28V-tolerant open-drain outputs, while TPS3307-33DGNR lacks both rail count and timing programmability - making MAX16029TG+ the only option meeting full quad-sequencing, wide-VOUT, and capacitor-based delay requirements.

FAQ
What is the function of the TH0 and TH1 pins on the MAX16029TG+?
The TH0 and TH1 pins on the MAX16029TG+ configure the voltage threshold for each monitored input (IN1–IN4) via logic states (GND/VCC/open). Together with TOL, they select among nine predefined thresholds - including fixed values (3.3V, 2.5V, 1.8V, 1.5V, 1.2V) and adjustable modes - eliminating external resistor networks for common supply rails. This logic-based selection is central to the MAX16029TG+'s flexibility in multivoltage designs.
Does the MAX16029TG+ support capacitor-adjustable reset timeout?
Yes, the MAX16029TG+ supports capacitor-adjustable reset timeout via the CRESET pin. Connecting an external capacitor from CRESET to GND sets the timeout period using the formula tRP = (0.5V / 500nA) + CCRESET × 35µs, enabling timeouts from 0.03ms up to several seconds. Alternatively, connecting CRESET to VCC selects the fixed 140ms minimum timeout - a key feature distinguishing the MAX16029TG+ from simpler dual-rail supervisors.
Can the MAX16029TG+ monitor voltages below 1.0V?
Yes, the MAX16029TG+ can monitor voltages as low as 0.472V (with TOL = VCC) or 0.5V (with TOL = GND) using its adjustable threshold mode. This is achieved by configuring TH0/TH1 to "Adj" and applying the monitored voltage directly to INx (or via a resistive divider). The device maintains 1.5% accuracy across -40°C to +125°C - making it suitable for modern sub-1V FPGA core rails and AI accelerator supplies.
What is the maximum voltage the MAX16029TG+ open-drain outputs can tolerate?
The MAX16029TG+ open-drain outputs (OUT1–OUT4 and RESET) are rated for up to 30V absolute maximum and operate reliably with external pullup voltages up to 28V. This allows direct interface to enable/shutdown inputs of DC-DC converters powered from higher intermediate rails (e.g., 12V, 24V), a capability confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and explicitly cited in the Features list - a critical advantage over standard 5V-tolerant supervisors.
How does the MAX16029TG+ handle power supply brownout conditions?
The MAX16029TG+ incorporates undervoltage lockout (UVLO) at 1.8V–2.0V (typical 1.9V), ensuring all outputs go low when VCC drops below this threshold. Crucially, outputs remain valid and correctly asserted down to VCC = 1.2V - verified in the Electrical Characteristics table - providing robust fail-safe behavior during gradual brownouts common in industrial power systems. This behavior is guaranteed across the full -40°C to +125°C range.
