Product details
Overview
The MAX16034LLB29+ from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with watchdog timer, power-fail comparator, and battery switchover functionality. It features a factory-set 2.93V reset threshold, 1.6s watchdog timeout, active-low push-pull RESET output, operates from 1.2V to 5.5V, and draws only 13µA quiescent current. It is used in portable equipment and POS terminals to ensure reliable μP reset and SRAM backup during brownouts.
For engineers reviewing the MAX16034LLB29+ datasheet, MAX16034LLB29+ pinout, MAX16034LLB29+ application, or MAX16034LLB29+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.93V reset threshold accuracy, 1.6s watchdog timeout stability over temperature, push-pull RESET drive capability (1.6mA sink), battery switchover hysteresis (40mV), and operation down to 1.2V supply voltage.
Technical Context
The MAX16034LLB29+ integrates a precision reset generator with ±1.5% threshold tolerance over -40°C to +85°C, a monolithic watchdog timer with 1.00–2.25s timeout range (typ. 1.65s), and an independent power-fail comparator referenced to 1.235V with 1% hysteresis. Its internal MOSFET enables seamless VCC-to-BATT switchover when VCC falls below both VTH and VBATT.
It implements a debounced watchdog input (WDI) that resets the timer on any edge transition, asserts RESET for ≥140ms after timeout, and supports system-level fault detection without external components. The device uses a single 10-pin µDFN package with GND-centered thermal pad and operates with full functionality at 1.2V VCC - enabling compatibility with ultra-low-voltage microcontrollers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.85V (min) to 3.00V (max); factory-trimmed 2.93V typical - ensures precise brownout detection for 3.0V/3.3V systems |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.00s (min) to 2.25s (max); 1.65s typical - provides robust software execution monitoring with minimal false triggers |
| Quiescent Current | 13µA typical at 2.8V VCC - enables multi-year battery life in always-on backup applications |
| RESET Output Type | Active-low push-pull - delivers 1.6mA sink capability at 0.3V VOL, eliminating need for external pull-up |
| Battery Switchover Hysteresis | 40mV - prevents oscillation during slow VCC ramp-down by requiring 40mV rise before reversion to VCC |
| Operating Voltage Range | 1.2V to 5.5V - supports direct interface with 1.2V I/O domains and legacy 5V logic without level shifting |
| Reset Timeout Period | 140ms (min) to 280ms (max) - guarantees sufficient μP initialization time after power recovery |
Pinout & Package
MAX16034LLB29+ is housed in a 2mm × 2mm, 10-pin µDFN package with exposed thermal pad (pin 10 = GND). The package supports reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020 and is RoHS-compliant and lead-free.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RESET | Active-low reset output | Push-pull driver asserts low during VCC < 2.93V, WDI timeout, or power-fail; holds low ≥140ms after recovery |
| 2 - CEIN | Chip-enable input | Unused in MAX16034; must be tied to GND or OUT to disable gating function (not applicable to this variant) |
| 3 - PFI | Power-fail input | Monitors external voltage divider; trips PFO low when VPFI < 1.235V - enables early warning of secondary rail failure |
| 4 - GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for all analog and digital functions; connects to thermal pad for optimal thermal performance |
| 5 - WDI | Watchdog input | Edge-sensitive input; any rising/falling transition resets internal 1.65s timer - eliminates need for periodic toggling |
| 6 - PFO | Active-low power-fail output | Push-pull output goes low when PFI < 1.235V or VCC < reset threshold - directly drives NMI or interrupt lines |
| 7 - VCC | Main supply input | Accepts 1.2V–5.5V; powers internal circuitry and sources OUT until switchover threshold is crossed |
| 8 - OUT | Regulated output | Delivers up to 200mA from VCC or BATT; switches to battery when VCC < VTH and VCC < VBATT |
| 9 - BATT | Battery backup input | Accepts 2.3V–5.5V; supplies OUT during brownout; draws only 1µA standby current at 2.8V |
| 10 - CEOUT | Chip-enable output | Unused in MAX16034; remains high-impedance or pulled to OUT - no functional role in this variant |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-trimmed 2.93V reset threshold | ±1.5% accuracy over -40°C to +85°C eliminates external resistor calibration for 3.0V systems |

| 13µA supply current at 2.8V | Enables >5-year coin-cell lifetime in battery-backed SRAM applications with 20µA typical load |
| 40mV battery switchover hysteresis | Prevents rapid cycling between VCC/BATT during slow power ramps - critical for stable memory retention |
| 1.2V minimum operating voltage | Supports direct integration with 1.2V-core microcontrollers without auxiliary LDO or level shifters |
| Push-pull RESET and PFO outputs | Eliminates external pull-ups, reduces BOM count, and ensures fast, deterministic assertion timing |

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX16034LLB29+?
The MAX16034LLB29+ has a factory-set reset threshold of 2.93V (typical), with a guaranteed range of 2.85V to 3.00V over -40°C to +85°C. This value is laser-trimmed during production and does not require external resistor networks. The threshold remains stable across temperature and supply voltage variations, ensuring consistent brownout detection for 3.0V systems.
Does the MAX16034LLB29+ support battery backup for SRAM, and how does switchover work?
Yes, the MAX16034LLB29+ supports battery backup for SRAM via its dedicated BATT and OUT pins. When VCC falls below both the 2.93V reset threshold and VBATT, the internal MOSFET automatically connects BATT to OUT. Switchover includes 40mV hysteresis to prevent oscillation during slow VCC ramps. In backup mode, the device draws only 1µA from the battery (at 2.8V), preserving capacity for extended hold-up time.
What is the watchdog timeout behavior of the MAX16034LLB29+, and how is it reset?
The MAX16034LLB29+ watchdog has a nominal timeout of 1.65s (range 1.00s–2.25s). It is reset on any rising or falling edge at the WDI pin - no periodic pulse generation is required. If WDI remains static longer than the timeout, RESET pulses low for ≥140ms. The timer also clears automatically whenever RESET is asserted, enabling robust detection of firmware hangs without software intervention.
Can the MAX16034LLB29+ monitor a secondary power supply using the PFI input?
Yes, the MAX16034LLB29+ can monitor a secondary supply via the PFI input using an external resistive divider. The internal 1.235V reference sets the trip point: VTRIP = 1.235V × (R1/R2 + 1). When VPFI falls below 1.235V, PFO asserts low - usable as an NMI or interrupt signal. PFO is push-pull, so no pull-up is needed. Hysteresis can be added externally for noise immunity.
What package type and pin count does the MAX16034LLB29+ use, and is it RoHS-compliant?
The MAX16034LLB29+ uses a 2mm × 2mm, 10-pin µDFN package with exposed thermal pad (pin 10 = GND). It is fully RoHS-compliant and lead-free, denoted by the '+' suffix in the part number. The package supports standard reflow profiles and is qualified for industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C).
