Product details
Overview
The MAX16034LLB29+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with watchdog timer, power-fail warning, 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 POS terminals to maintain SRAM data integrity during brownout events.
For engineers reviewing the MAX16034LLB29+T datasheet, MAX16034LLB29+T pinout, MAX16034LLB29+T application, or MAX16034LLB29+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 10-pin µDFN package, watchdog input (WDI) interface, battery-on indication capability, and guaranteed -40°C to +85°C operation for industrial embedded systems.
Technical Context
The MAX16034LLB29+T integrates a precision 1.235V internal reference for both PFI and RESETIN comparators, a monostable watchdog timer with 1.00–2.25s timeout range, and a low-impedance MOSFET-based VCC/BATT switchover path with <4.6Ω on-resistance at 2.5V. Its push-pull RESET output drives loads up to 20mA while remaining valid down to 1.2V supply.
It implements debounced WDI edge detection - any rising or falling edge clears the watchdog timer - and includes independent power-fail comparator logic that asserts PFO when VPFI falls below 1.235V, with 4µs propagation delay and 1% hysteresis. The device enters battery-backup mode only when both VCC < VTH and VCC < VBATT − 40mV.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.85V (min) to 3.00V (max); factory-trimmed 2.93V typical ensures reliable reset assertion for 3.0V/3.3V systems during brownout |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.00–2.25s; 1.65s typical enables robust software execution monitoring without false triggers in μP-based POS equipment |
| Supply Current | 13µA typical at 2.8V; enables multi-year battery backup in portable instrumentation with minimal drain |
| Operating Voltage | 1.2V to 5.5V; supports direct interface with Li-ion, coin-cell, and regulated 3.3V/5.0V rails without external level shifting |
| Reset Timeout Period | 140ms (min); guarantees sufficient hold time for μP initialization and memory stabilization after power recovery |
| Output Type | Active-low push-pull RESET; eliminates need for external pull-up resistor and ensures fast, rail-to-rail reset signaling |
| Package | 10-pin µDFN (2mm × 2mm); enables high-density PCB layout in space-constrained handheld devices |
Pinout & Package
MAX16034LLB29+T is housed in a 10-pin, 2mm × 2mm, 0.5mm pitch µDFN package with exposed thermal pad (EP). Pin 1 is marked by a dot; the package is RoHS-compliant and lead-free.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 RESET | Active-low push-pull reset output | Asserts low during VCC undervoltage, watchdog timeout, or power failure; holds for ≥140ms after recovery |
| 2 CEIN | Chip-enable input | Passes CE signals to CEOUT during normal operation; disabled during reset to prevent RAM corruption |
| 3 PFI | Power-fail input | Monitors external voltage divider; triggers PFO low when input falls below 1.235V |
| 4 GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all analog and digital functions; connects to EP for thermal dissipation |
| 5 WDI | Watchdog input | Edge-sensitive input; any rising/falling transition resets internal 1.6s timer; no external debounce required |
| 6 PFO | Active-low power-fail output | Push-pull output asserting low on PFI trip or VCC < VTH; provides NMI signal to μP |
| 7 VCC | Main supply input | Accepts 1.2V–5.5V; powers internal circuitry and supplies OUT when above reset threshold |
| 8 OUT | System power output | Sources from VCC normally; switches to BATT during backup mode with <4.6Ω on-resistance at 2.5V |
| 9 BATT | Backup battery input | Connects to coin cell or supercap; enables seamless switchover when VCC drops below VBATT − 40mV |
| 10 CEOUT | Chip-enable output | Low-impedance transmission gate output; mirrors CEIN unless reset is asserted, then held high |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Watchdog timer with edge-triggered clear | Eliminates need for periodic software pulses; responds to any state change on WDI, improving fault coverage |
| Independent power-fail comparator | Provides early warning via PFO before VCC reaches reset threshold, enabling graceful shutdown of peripherals |
| Battery switchover with 40mV hysteresis | Prevents oscillation during slow VCC decay; ensures stable OUT voltage during transition between sources |
| 140ms minimum reset timeout | Guarantees μP reset pulse exceeds typical boot-time requirements for ARM Cortex-M and 8051 derivatives |
| 13µA quiescent current in active mode | Extends battery life in always-on portable instruments where supervisor remains powered continuously |
| Push-pull RESET and PFO outputs | Reduces BOM count by eliminating external pull-ups; delivers faster rise/fall times than open-drain alternatives |
Applications
| Portable POS Terminals | Industrial Controllers |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX16034PLB29+T | Same core functionality but features active-low open-drain RESET and PFO outputs instead of push-pull | Requires external pull-up resistors; better suited for wired-OR interrupt buses or level-translating interfaces | Select when interfacing with legacy μPs requiring open-drain reset signaling or shared interrupt lines |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single-channel supervisor with 3.08V reset threshold, no watchdog or battery switchover; 1.8µA IQ | Lacks WDI, BATT, CEIN/CEOUT, and PFI/PFO functions; suitable only for basic reset-only applications | Choose only if system requires minimal reset supervision without backup management or watchdog capability |
Compared with MAX16034LLB29+T, the MAX16034PLB29+T offers identical timing and thresholds but requires external pull-ups, increasing BOM count; the TPS3808G33DBVR reduces cost and current draw but removes critical battery-switchover and watchdog safety features needed for POS and industrial control.

FAQ
What is the factory-set reset threshold voltage for MAX16034LLB29+T?
The MAX16034LLB29+T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 2.93V, with guaranteed minimum of 2.85V and maximum of 3.00V over temperature. This value is laser-trimmed during production and applies across the full -40°C to +85°C operating range, ensuring consistent brownout detection for 3.0V/3.3V systems without external adjustment.
Does MAX16034LLB29+T support battery backup for external SRAM?
Yes, MAX16034LLB29+T directly supports battery backup for external SRAM via its OUT pin, which automatically switches from VCC to BATT when VCC falls below the reset threshold and VBATT exceeds VCC by 40mV. In backup mode, it delivers up to 20mA from the battery with <4.6Ω on-resistance, preserving SRAM data integrity without additional FETs or diodes.
How does the watchdog function work on MAX16034LLB29+T?
The MAX16034LLB29+T watchdog monitors the WDI pin: any rising or falling edge resets the 1.6s timeout timer. If WDI remains static longer than the timeout period, RESET asserts for 140ms. The timer clears on every WDI transition - not just periodic pulses - enabling tighter software fault detection in complex loops or interrupt-driven code.
Can MAX16034LLB29+T monitor a secondary power rail?
Yes, MAX16034LLB29+T includes a dedicated RESETIN input referenced to an internal 1.235V comparator. By connecting a resistor divider from the secondary rail to RESETIN, users can set custom reset thresholds (e.g., 5.0V, 12V) using VRTH = 1.235V × (R1/R2 + 1). The device asserts RESET when RESETIN falls below 1.235V, with 1.5µs propagation delay.
What is the purpose of the CEIN and CEOUT pins on MAX16034LLB29+T?
The CEIN and CEOUT pins implement chip-enable gating: during normal operation, CEIN passes through to CEOUT with ~2ns delay; when RESET is asserted, CEOUT is forced high to prevent spurious writes to external CMOS RAM. This feature is critical in systems where power failure could corrupt memory during partial μP initialization - a key requirement for POS and industrial controller designs using MAX16034LLB29+T.
