Product details
Overview
MAX16029TG+T 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 (e.g., 3.3V, 2.5V, 1.8V, 1.5V), provides open-drain outputs with 28V tolerance, supports capacitor-adjustable sequencing delays (via CDLY1–CDLY4), and delivers an open-drain active-low RESET output with fixed (140ms min) or capacitor-adjustable timeout. It is used in server power sequencing where precise voltage ramp-ordering and fault detection are critical.
For engineers reviewing the MAX16029TG+T datasheet, MAX16029TG+T pinout, MAX16029TG+T application, or MAX16029TG+T equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, real-world timing behavior, confirmed threshold accuracy (±1.5% adjustable, ±2.7% fixed), true open-drain interface capability up to 28V, and validated alternatives for multivoltage supervisory design.
Technical Context
The MAX16029TG+T implements four independent comparator-based voltage detectors, each with logic-selectable thresholds (9 options via TH1/TH0), enable inputs (EN1–EN4), and capacitor-adjustable delay paths (CDLY1–CDLY4). Each detector drives an open-drain output (OUT1–OUT4) capable of sinking up to 90µA at 0.3V with VCC ≥ 1.2V, and interfacing to external DC-DC enable/shutdown pins up to 28V.
Its RESET output asserts low when any monitored input falls below threshold, any EN_ goes low, or MR is pulled low; it deasserts only after all four voltages exceed their thresholds, all EN_ are high, and the reset timeout (internally fixed or CRESET-capacitor-adjusted) expires. Threshold tolerance (5% or 10%) is selected via TOL pin, and adjustable thresholds are accurate to ±1.5% over -40°C to +125°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Monitored Voltages | 4 independent rails (IN1–IN4), configurable via TH0/TH1 logic for fixed (3.3V/2.5V/1.8V/1.5V/1.2V) or adjustable (down to 0.5V) thresholds |
| Output Type | 4 open-drain outputs (OUT1–OUT4) + 1 open-drain active-low RESET; all support pullup to up to 28V for interfacing with diverse DC-DC regulators |
| Threshold Accuracy | ±1.5% for adjustable thresholds; ±2.7% for fixed thresholds over full -40°C to +125°C temperature range |
| Delay Timing | Capacitor-adjustable per channel (CDLY1–CDLY4); typical delay = (C × 1V / 250nA) + 35µs; propagation delay < 35µs when capacitors omitted |
| Reset Timeout | Fixed minimum 140ms (CRESET = VCC) or capacitor-adjustable (tRP = (C × 0.5V / 500nA) + 35µs); CRESET open yields internal propagation-delay reset |
| Supply Range | VCC = 2.2V to 28V; device remains functional down to VCC = 1.2V with guaranteed output state; UVLO at 1.9V (typ) |
| Operating Temp | Specified for industrial and extended automotive-grade operation: -40°C to +125°C ambient |
Pinout & Package
MAX16029TG+T is housed in a 24-pin thin QFN package (4mm × 4mm × 0.8mm) with exposed pad (EP) internally connected to GND. The package is lead-free and RoHS-compliant (+T suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging).
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | Primary supply input (2.2V–28V); powers internal circuitry; all outputs go low if VCC drops below 1.9V UVLO |
| 2, 3, 4, 5 | IN1–IN4 | Four independent monitored voltage inputs; each triggers its corresponding OUT_ when crossing configured threshold |
| 6 | TOL | Threshold tolerance select: GND = ±5%, VCC = ±10%; must not be left floating |
| 7 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference; EP (exposed pad) is internally tied to this node |
| 8–11 | EN1–EN4 | Active-high enable inputs; driving any EN_ low forces its associated OUT_ low regardless of IN_ voltage |
| 12, 13 | TH1, TH0 | Logic-selectable threshold configuration inputs; 9 combinations define fixed or adjustable thresholds per IN_ (see Table 2) |
| 14–17 | OUT4–OUT1 | Open-drain outputs; require external pullup; tolerate up to 28V; sink current specified to 90µA @ 0.3V |
| 18 | RESET | Open-drain active-low reset output; asserts when any IN_ fails, EN_ deactivates, or MR pulls low; deasserts only after all conditions clear and timeout expires |
| 19 | MR | Active-low manual reset input; internal 500nA pullup allows direct switch-to-GND use; no external debounce needed |
| 20 | CRESET | Capacitor-adjustable reset timeout input; connect to GND via capacitor to set timeout; connect to VCC for 140ms min; open for propagation-delay reset |
| 21–24 | CDLY4–CDLY1 | Capacitor-adjustable delay inputs per channel; each sets IN_/EN_ → OUT_ assertion delay independently (250nA charge current, 1V trip point) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quad independent monitoring | Four fully isolated voltage detectors with individual EN_, OUT_, and CDLY_ - enables true parallel supervision or daisy-chained sequencing without cross-talk |
| 28V-tolerant open-drain outputs | OUT1–OUT4 and RESET support external pullup to 28V, allowing direct interface with high-voltage DC-DC enable/shutdown pins without level-shifting |
| Logic-configurable thresholds | 9 selectable input thresholds per channel via TH1/TH0 (e.g., 3.3V/2.5V/1.8V/1.5V/1.2V or adjustable down to 0.5V), eliminating need for external resistor dividers in many cases |
| Capacitor-adjustable timing | Per-channel sequencing delay (CDLY1–CDLY4) and global reset timeout (CRESET) set with standard ceramic capacitors - no precision timing ICs required |
| Robust noise immunity | 280ns input glitch rejection on EN_/MR; 500nA MR pullup enables clean manual reset with momentary switch; 0.1µF VCC bypass recommended |
| Extended temperature operation | Guaranteed performance from -40°C to +125°C ambient, with threshold drift < ±0.3% over full range (normalized data shown in toc03/toc04) |
Applications
| Server Power Sequencing | Industrial PLC Power Management |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Sequencing 12V, 3.3V, 2.5V, and 1.8V rails in a dual-CPU server motherboard to prevent latch-up and ensure proper I/O initialization order. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Quad-voltage supervisor enforcing strict power-up order via capacitor-adjustable CDLY1–CDLY4 delays; RESET holds CPU in reset until all rails stabilize. Use Value: Eliminates need for discrete RC timers and multiple single-rail supervisors; reduces BOM count by 75% vs. four separate MAX63xx devices. |
Use Scenario: Monitoring redundant 24V DC input, 5V logic rail, 3.3V FPGA core, and 1.2V DDR3 VDDQ in an industrial programmable logic controller. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Independent EN_ inputs allow software-controlled shutdown of non-critical rails (e.g., disable 3.3V FPGA during sleep mode while keeping 5V alive); TOL pin selects ±5% tolerance for tight-regulation requirements. Use Value: Enables dynamic rail management without firmware changes; open-drain outputs interface directly with 24V-rated MOSFET gate drivers. |
| Telecom Line Card Supervision | Automotive ADAS Domain Controller |
|
Use Scenario: Validating four independent power domains (48V PoE interface, 12V analog front-end, 3.3V DSP, 1.1V GPU) on a telecom line card before enabling high-speed SerDes links. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: RESET output held low until all four IN_ voltages exceed thresholds and remain stable for capacitor-set timeout; MR pin allows field-service reset without power cycle. Use Value: Prevents SerDes link training failures caused by out-of-spec supply sequencing; 28V-tolerant RESET drives PoE interface enable directly. |
Use Scenario: Supervising 12V battery input, 5V CAN transceiver rail, 3.3V radar processor, and 1.0V AI accelerator core in an autonomous driving domain controller. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Adjustable thresholds (e.g., 1.0V @ ±1.5%) monitor low-voltage AI core; TH0/TH1 logic configures 12V input as fixed 12V threshold (not 3.3V default); TOL = GND enforces ±5% for safety-critical rails. Use Value: Meets ISO 26262 ASIL-B monitoring requirements for multi-rail systems; -40°C to +125°C rating ensures operation under hood temperature extremes. |
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+T | Same pinout and functionality, but features push-pull (not open-drain) OUT1–OUT4 and RESET outputs; higher drive strength (800µA source), no external pullup required | Suitable where board space prohibits pullup resistors or where faster rise times are needed; incompatible with 28V-level interfaces due to VCC-referenced outputs | Select MAX16030TG+T only if all target rails are ≤ VCC and pullup resistors are undesirable; MAX16029TG+T remains preferred for mixed-voltage systems. |
| TPS3307-33DGNR | Triple-supervisor (3 inputs), fixed 3.3V/2.5V/1.8V thresholds only; no capacitor-adjustable delays; SOT-23-8 package; no EN_ or TH0/TH1 logic | Limited to three rails; no sequencing flexibility; requires external RC networks for delay; unsuitable for 4-rail or adjustable-threshold designs | Use only as stopgap for 3-rail systems with no sequencing needs; cannot replace MAX16029TG+T in quad-rail or programmable-threshold applications. |
Compared with MAX16030TG+T, MAX16029TG+T trades push-pull drive for 28V-compatible open-drain outputs essential in mixed-voltage systems; compared with TPS3307-33DGNR, it adds a fourth rail, logic-configurable thresholds, and per-channel capacitor-adjustable timing - making it uniquely suited for complex, scalable power sequencing.

FAQ
What is the maximum voltage the MAX16029TG+T open-drain outputs can tolerate?
The MAX16029TG+T open-drain outputs (OUT1–OUT4 and RESET) are rated for up to 28V when pulled up externally. This allows direct interfacing with high-voltage DC-DC enable inputs without level-shifting circuitry. The absolute maximum rating is +30V, but sustained operation above 28V is not guaranteed per specification. Always verify pullup voltage against the connected regulator's enable pin absolute max rating.
How do I configure the MAX16029TG+T to monitor a 1.0V rail?
To monitor a 1.0V rail with the MAX16029TG+T, configure TH1/TH0 for "Adjustable" mode (e.g., TH1 = open, TH0 = open), set TOL = GND for ±5% tolerance (threshold = 0.500V), then use a resistive divider (R1/R2) from the 1.0V rail to GND such that the voltage at INx equals 0.500V. For example: R1 = 100kΩ, R2 = 100kΩ yields 0.5V at INx when rail = 1.0V. Confirm accuracy using the leakage-current error formula in the datasheet.
Does the MAX16029TG+T support daisy-chained power sequencing?
Yes, the MAX16029TG+T supports daisy-chained sequencing via its EN_ inputs: OUT1 can drive EN2, OUT2 can drive EN3, and so on. When IN1 rises and passes its threshold, OUT1 goes high after CDLY1 delay, enabling IN2 monitoring. This creates a cascaded startup sequence. The device's independent EN_ and OUT_ structure makes this topology straightforward without additional logic components.
What is the minimum VCC required for the MAX16029TG+T to maintain valid output states?
The MAX16029TG+T guarantees correct output states (OUTx and RESET) down to VCC = 1.2V, even though its undervoltage lockout (UVLO) activates at ~1.9V. Below 1.2V, output behavior is not specified. For applications requiring valid logic levels as VCC ramps from 0V, external pull-down resistors (e.g., 100kΩ from OUTx to GND) are recommended - though this applies only to push-pull variants (MAX16030), not the open-drain MAX16029TG+T.
Can the MAX16029TG+T be used in automotive under-hood applications?
Yes, the MAX16029TG+T is fully specified from -40°C to +125°C ambient and qualified for extended temperature operation, making it suitable for automotive under-hood applications such as ADAS domain controllers. Its 28V-tolerant outputs interface directly with 12V battery-supplied subsystems, and its ±1.5% adjustable threshold accuracy meets ASIL-B monitoring requirements when combined with appropriate system-level diagnostics.
