Product details
Overview
The MAX16033PLB44+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power, 10-pin μDFN supervisory circuit for microprocessor power monitoring and battery switchover. It features an active-low open-drain reset output, factory-set 4.38V reset threshold (±0.13V), 140ms minimum reset timeout, 13µA quiescent supply current, and integrated power-fail comparator with 1.235V PFI threshold-designed for reliable SRAM backup in portable POS terminals.
For engineers reviewing the MAX16033PLB44+T datasheet, MAX16033PLB44+T pinout, MAX16033PLB44+T application, or MAX16033PLB44+T equivalent, key selection criteria include open-drain reset structure, 4.38V VTH tolerance over –40°C to +85°C, battery switchover hysteresis, CE gating capability, and compatibility with 1.2V–5.5V VCC operation.
Technical Context
The MAX16033PLB44+T implements a precision bandgap-based reset generator with independent power-fail detection (PFI/PFO), debounced manual-reset input (MR), and chip-enable gating logic between CEIN and CEOUT. Its internal MOSFET enables seamless VCC-to-BATT switchover when VCC falls below 4.38V and VBATT exceeds VCC by ≥40mV.
It integrates a 1.235V reference for both PFI and RESETIN comparators, supports push-pull or open-drain outputs via part-number coding ('L' = push-pull, 'P' = open-drain), and delivers guaranteed reset assertion down to 1.2V VCC while maintaining <2µA battery-backup current at –40°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold Voltage | 4.38V (factory-set, ±0.13V over –40°C to +85°C); ensures reliable reset initiation during 3.3V/5V supply brownouts. |
| Reset Timeout Period | 140ms minimum; guarantees µP initialization completes before release from reset state. | Supply Current (VCC = 3.6V) | 16µA typical; enables multi-year battery life in always-on backup applications. |
| Output Type | Active-low open-drain RESET and PFO; allows wired-OR configuration and level translation with external pull-ups. |
| Operating Voltage Range | 1.2V to 5.5V on VCC; supports direct interface with low-voltage µPs and legacy 5V systems. |
| Battery Switchover Hysteresis | 40mV; prevents oscillation during slow VCC decay near reset threshold. |
| Power-Fail Input Threshold | 1.235V (±50mV); enables precise monitoring of auxiliary supplies via resistive divider. |
Pinout & Package
MAX16033PLB44+T is housed in a RoHS-compliant, lead(Pb)-free 10-pin µDFN package (2mm × 2mm, 0.5mm pitch) with exposed pad for thermal performance. Pin 1 is marked by dot; pin numbering follows standard counter-clockwise layout from top-left corner.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RESET | Active-low open-drain reset output | Asserts low during VCC undervoltage, MR low, or watchdog timeout; requires external pull-up for logic-high state. |
| 2 - CEIN | Chip-enable input | Controls CEOUT pass-gate; disabled during reset to prevent erroneous RAM writes during brownout. |
| 3 - PFI | Power-fail input | Monitors auxiliary voltage via resistor divider; triggers PFO low when VPFI < 1.235V. |
| 4 - GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for VCC, BATT, and all internal circuits; must be low-impedance connection. |
| 5 - MR | Manual-reset input | Debounced logic input with 20kΩ internal pull-up; asserts RESET when pulled low. |
| 6 - PFO | Active-low power-fail output | Open-drain output mirroring PFI status; also asserts low when VCC < VTH. |
| 7 - VCC | Main supply input | Accepts 1.2V–5.5V; powers internal circuitry and sources OUT until switchover condition occurs. |
| 8 - OUT | Regulated output | Sources from VCC normally; switches to BATT during backup mode; supports up to 200mA load. |
| 9 - BATT | Backup-battery input | Connects to 2.1V–5.5V battery; enables SRAM retention when VCC fails. |
| 10 - CEOUT | Chip-enable output | Passes CEIN signal only when RESET is deasserted; actively pulled to OUT when disconnected. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-trimmed reset threshold | 4.38V ±0.13V over full temperature range eliminates external resistor calibration. |
| Integrated chip-enable gating | Prevents spurious memory writes during power failure by disabling CEIN→CEOUT path during reset. |
| Ultra-low battery-backup current | ≤2µA at –40°C enables >10-year shelf life with coin-cell batteries. |
| Independent power-fail comparator | Dedicated 1.235V reference and PFI input allow simultaneous monitoring of secondary supplies without affecting reset timing. |
| VCC transient immunity | Withstands negative-going VCC glitches ≤100ns at 3.3V, reducing false resets in noisy environments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar supervisory circuit applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX16033LLB44+T | Push-pull RESET/PFO outputs instead of open-drain; identical VTH, timing, and package. | Requires no external pull-up resistors; unsuitable for wired-OR bus configurations. | Select when driving single-load RESET inputs directly and minimizing BOM count. |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Fixed 3.08V reset threshold; 350ms reset timeout; 2.9µA IQ; SOT-23-6 package. | Lacks battery switchover, CE gating, PFI, and MR inputs; limited to basic reset-only use cases. | Select only for cost-sensitive, space-constrained designs needing only reset generation without backup functionality. |
Compared with MAX16033LLB44+T, the MAX16033PLB44+T offers essential flexibility for multi-drop reset buses, while TPS3808G33DBVR trades away critical battery-control features for lower quiescent current and smaller footprint-making it unsuitable as a functional replacement.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX16033PLB44+T?
The MAX16033PLB44+T has a factory-set reset threshold voltage of 4.38V, with guaranteed tolerance of ±0.13V over the full operating temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). This value is laser-trimmed and specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "RESET OUTPUT" with part-number suffix 'L_44'. The MAX16033PLB44+T does not require external resistor networks to set this threshold.
Does the MAX16033PLB44+T support battery switchover, and what is its hysteresis?
Yes, the MAX16033PLB44+T supports automatic battery switchover from VCC to BATT when VCC falls below the 4.38V reset threshold and VBATT exceeds VCC by at least 40mV. This 40mV hysteresis prevents chattering during slow VCC decay and is inherent to the internal comparator design-no external components are needed to implement it.
What is the function of the CEIN and CEOUT pins on the MAX16033PLB44+T?
The CEIN and CEOUT pins on the MAX16033PLB44+T provide chip-enable signal gating to prevent erroneous writes to CMOS RAM during power failure. When RESET is asserted, the CEIN-to-CEOUT path is disabled. CEOUT remains latched high or low depending on CEIN state at reset assertion, ensuring memory integrity. The MAX16033PLB44+T specifies 2ns typical propagation delay and <100Ω on-resistance in enabled mode.
Can the MAX16033PLB44+T monitor a second power supply, and how is that configured?
Yes, the MAX16033PLB44+T can monitor a second supply using its dedicated PFI input, which compares against a precise 1.235V internal reference. A resistive divider connects the monitored voltage to PFI so that VPFI = 1.235V at the desired trip point. For example, to monitor a 12V rail, use R1 = 87.6kΩ and R2 = 10kΩ. PFO then asserts low when the secondary supply drops below threshold.
What is the maximum load current supported by the OUT pin of the MAX16033PLB44+T?
The OUT pin of the MAX16033PLB44+T supports up to 200mA when sourced from VCC. In battery-backup mode (VCC < VTH), the internal MOSFET connects BATT to OUT with on-resistance ranging from 3.1Ω (at VCC = 4.75V) to 4.6Ω (at VCC = 2.5V), limiting practical continuous current to ~100mA at 2.5V BATT to maintain <500mV dropout. Short-circuit protection limits fault duration to 5 seconds.
