Product details
Overview
The MAX16033PLB29+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with integrated battery switchover, power-fail warning, and chip-enable gating. It features a factory-set 2.93V reset threshold, active-low open-drain RESET/PFO outputs, and operates from 1.2V to 5.5V supply. It delivers 140ms minimum reset timeout, 13µA quiescent current, and supports SRAM backup in portable POS terminals and industrial controllers.
For engineers reviewing the MAX16033PLB29+T datasheet, MAX16033PLB29+T pinout, MAX16033PLB29+T application, or MAX16033PLB29+T equivalent, this device serves as a precision voltage-monitoring and battery-backup supervisor for brownout-critical μP systems requiring guaranteed reset assertion down to 1.2V, sub-µA battery standby current, and robust power-fail interrupt signaling.
Technical Context
The MAX16033PLB29+T integrates a precision reset generator with ±1.5% threshold accuracy over temperature, an independent 1.235V power-fail comparator (PFI/PFO), debounced manual-reset input (MR), and bidirectional chip-enable gating (CEIN/CEOUT). Its internal MOSFET enables seamless VCC-to-BATT switchover when VCC falls below 2.93V and VBATT exceeds VCC by ≥40mV.
It implements open-drain RESET and PFO outputs rated for 20mA sink, supports CEIN propagation delay of 1.5–7ns (50Ω/50pF), and maintains <2µA battery supply current at -40°C to +85°C in backup mode - enabling long-life operation in battery-powered instrumentation and real-time clock systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.93V (factory-set, ±1.5% over -40°C to +85°C) - ensures reliable μP reset during 3.0V/2.85V rail brownouts |
| Reset Timeout Period | 140ms (min) - guarantees sufficient hold time for full μP initialization after power recovery |
| Supply Current | 13µA typical at VCC = 2.8V - enables multi-year battery life in always-on backup applications |
| Battery Standby Current | 2µA max (-40°C to +85°C, VCC = 0V) - minimizes drain on coin-cell or supercap backup sources |
| Output Type | Active-low open-drain RESET and PFO - allows wired-OR logic, level translation, and flexible pull-up selection |
| VCC-to-OUT On-Resistance | 3.1Ω at VCC = 4.75V, IOUT = 150mA - supports up to 200mA SRAM supply with <0.5V dropout |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and embedded control environments |
Pinout & Package
MAX16033PLB29+T is housed in a 2mm × 2mm, 10-pin µDFN package with exposed pad (pin 10 = GND EP), RoHS-compliant and tape-and-reel packaged (+T).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RESET | Active-low open-drain reset output | Asserts low during VCC < 2.93V, MR low, or power-fail; requires external pull-up for system reset signaling |
| 2 - CEIN | Chip-enable input | Controls CEOUT pass-gate; held high internally via 20kΩ pullup if unused; enables CE gating during brownout |
| 3 - PFI | Power-fail input | Monitors external voltage divider; trips PFO when VPFI falls below 1.235V (±1%) |
| 4 - GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for all analog/digital functions; connects to exposed thermal pad |
| 5 - MR | Manual-reset input | Debounced TTL/CMOS-compatible input; asserts RESET when pulled low; internal 20kΩ pullup to VCC |
| 6 - PFO | Active-low open-drain power-fail output | Signals PFI fault or VCC < 2.93V; sinks 20mA; used for NMI or system interrupt |
| 7 - VCC | Main supply input | Accepts 1.2V–5.5V; powers internal circuitry and supplies OUT during normal operation |
| 8 - OUT | Regulated output | Sources from VCC (≤200mA) or BATT (backup mode); powers SRAM or RTC during brownout |
| 9 - BATT | Backup battery input | Accepts 2.1V–5.5V; automatically engages when VCC < 2.93V and VBATT > VCC + 40mV |
| 10 - CEOUT | Chip-enable output | Passes CEIN signal only when RESET is deasserted; prevents erroneous RAM writes during power failure |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-trimmed 2.93V reset threshold | ±1.5% accuracy over full temperature range eliminates external resistor calibration |
| Open-drain RESET and PFO outputs | Enable flexible interface with multiple voltage domains and shared interrupt lines |
| Integrated chip-enable gating (CEIN/CEOUT) | Prevents corrupted CMOS RAM writes during brownout by blocking CE transitions for ≥1µs after RESET assert |
| Sub-µA battery backup current | 2µA max at -40°C to +85°C preserves multi-year coin-cell life in RTC/SRAM retention |
| 140ms minimum reset timeout | Guarantees μP core and peripherals fully initialize before release from reset state |
| 40mV switchover hysteresis | Prevents oscillation during slow VCC ramp-down by requiring VBATT > VCC + 40mV to engage battery |
Applications
| Portable POS Terminals | Industrial Programmable Logic Controllers |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX16033LLB29+T | Push-pull RESET/PFO outputs instead of open-drain; higher drive strength (0.8×VCC VOH) | Requires no external pull-up resistors; unsuitable for wired-OR interrupt buses | Select when driving single-load reset lines directly without bus sharing |
| MAX16035PLB29+T | Adds BATTON push-pull output; omits CEIN/CEOUT gating; same reset/PFI functionality | Optimized for battery-status indication rather than memory write protection | Select when visual/LED battery-on signaling is required and CE gating is unnecessary |
Compared with MAX16033LLB29+T, the MAX16033PLB29+T offers greater flexibility in interrupt bus topology but requires external pull-ups; compared with MAX16035PLB29+T, it retains critical CEIN/CEOUT protection for SRAM integrity at the cost of lacking BATTON status indication.

FAQ
What is the factory-set reset threshold voltage for MAX16033PLB29+T?
The MAX16033PLB29+T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 2.93V (minimum 2.85V, maximum 3.00V) with ±1.5% accuracy over -40°C to +85°C. This value is laser-trimmed during production and does not require external resistor networks. The '29' suffix in MAX16033PLB29+T explicitly denotes the 2.93V threshold variant, ensuring precise compatibility with 3.0V system rails.
Does MAX16033PLB29+T support battery backup for SRAM, and what is its battery current consumption?
Yes, MAX16033PLB29+T automatically switches OUT to BATT when VCC falls below 2.93V and VBATT exceeds VCC by ≥40mV. In battery-backup mode (VCC = 0V), its battery supply current is 2µA maximum over -40°C to +85°C - enabling multi-year operation on standard CR2032 coin cells. The device also provides <0.5V dropout (RON ≤3.1Ω) to maximize usable battery voltage range.
What is the function of CEIN and CEOUT pins on MAX16033PLB29+T, and how do they protect memory?
CEIN and CEOUT implement chip-enable signal gating: CEIN accepts the system's CE signal, and CEOUT passes it to memory only when RESET is deasserted. During brownout, when RESET asserts, CEOUT is forced high (or held for 1µs then high) to block write cycles - preventing corrupted data in CMOS RAM. This feature is exclusive to MAX16033–MAX16036 variants and is confirmed functional in MAX16033PLB29+T per the Pin Description table.
Can MAX16033PLB29+T monitor a secondary power supply using RESETIN?
No - RESETIN functionality is exclusive to MAX16036/MAX16040 variants (e.g., MAX16036PLB29+T). The MAX16033PLB29+T does not include the RESETIN pin or internal 1.235V comparator for auxiliary voltage monitoring. Its supervision is limited to VCC, PFI, MR, and battery switchover. For dual-rail monitoring, MAX16036PLB29+T or MAX16040PLB29+T must be selected.
What package type and footprint does MAX16033PLB29+T use, and is thermal pad connection required?
MAX16033PLB29+T uses a 2mm × 2mm, 10-pin µDFN package with exposed thermal pad (pin 10). The exposed pad must be soldered to a PCB thermal plane for proper thermal dissipation and electrical grounding - it is not optional. This construction enables 402.8mW continuous power dissipation at +70°C and supports reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020 standards.
