Product details
Overview
MAX16036LLB31+ from Maxim Integrated is a low-power µP supervisory circuit with auxiliary user-adjustable RESETIN input, active-low push-pull reset output, and precision 3.08V factory-set reset threshold (±70mV). It provides battery switchover, power-fail warning, and chip-enable gating for SRAM backup in brownout conditions. Designed for portable microprocessor systems requiring reliable power monitoring down to 1.2V supply.
For engineers reviewing the MAX16036LLB31+ datasheet, MAX16036LLB31+ pinout, MAX16036LLB31+ application, or MAX16036LLB31+ equivalent, this device delivers verified 140ms minimum reset timeout, 13µA quiescent current at 5.5V, 1.235V RESETIN comparator threshold with <25nA input current, and µDFN-10 package compatibility with industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C).
Technical Context
The MAX16036LLB31+ integrates a precision 1.235V internal reference to set RESETIN threshold, enabling external resistor-divider configuration for secondary supply monitoring. Its reset generator asserts active-low push-pull RESET for ≥140ms after VCC rises above 3.08V or RESETIN recovers above 1.235V.
It features dedicated chip-enable gating (CEIN/CEOUT) with ≤9ns propagation delay (50Ω source, 50pF load), 100Ω on-resistance when enabled, and automatic disable during reset to prevent SRAM corruption. Battery switchover occurs when VCC falls below 3.08V and VBATT exceeds VCC by >40mV, with BATT-to-OUT MOSFET on-resistance as low as 4.6Ω at 2.5V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 3.08V ±70mV - factory-trimmed voltage at which RESET asserts on VCC fall; ensures reliable brownout detection for 3.3V/3.0V systems. |
| RESET Timeout Period | 140ms (min) - guarantees µP initialization completes before release; immune to short transients per tRP specification. |
| Quiescent Supply Current | 13µA at VCC = 5.5V - enables multi-year battery life in always-on backup applications. |
| RESETIN Threshold | 1.235V ±50mV - fixed internal reference enabling accurate secondary supply monitoring via external resistor divider. |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.2V to 5.5V - supports operation during deep brownout and full rail conditions without reset assertion loss. |
| Package | 10-pin µDFN (2mm × 2mm, 0.5mm pitch) - compact footprint for space-constrained portable designs with exposed pad thermal performance. |
| Temperature Range | -40°C to +85°C - fully specified across industrial temperature range for embedded and POS equipment reliability. |
Pinout & Package
MAX16036LLB31+ uses a 10-pin µDFN package (L1022-1 code) with wettable flank leads and exposed thermal pad. Pin 1 is marked by dot; pin numbering follows standard counter-clockwise layout from top-left corner.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET | Active-low push-pull reset output; sinks 20mA, valid down to 1.2V VCC; asserts during brownout, RESETIN low, or power-up. |
| 2 | CEIN | Chip-enable input; controls CEOUT pass gate; high-impedance when reset asserted; internal 20kΩ pullup to VCC if unused. |
| 3 | PFI | Power-fail input; referenced to 1.235V; triggers PFO low when voltage drops below threshold; supports external voltage monitoring. |
| 4 | GND | System ground reference; connects to exposed thermal pad for optimal thermal dissipation and noise immunity. |
| 5 | RESETIN | Auxiliary reset input; comparator input referenced to 1.235V; asserts RESET when voltage falls below threshold; <25nA input bias. |
| 6 | PFO | Active-low push-pull power-fail output; asserts when PFI < 1.235V or VCC < reset threshold; VOL ≤0.4V @ 1.6mA. |
| 7 | VCC | Main supply input (1.2V–5.5V); powers internal circuitry and sources OUT during normal operation. |
| 8 | OUT | Output rail; sourced from VCC when active, switches to BATT during backup; supports up to 200mA load. |
| 9 | BATT | Backup battery input; supplies OUT when VCC < 3.08V and VBATT > VCC + 40mV; reverse-current protected. |
| 10 | CEOUT | Chip-enable output; passes CEIN signal when reset deasserted; actively pulled to OUT when disconnected; <100Ω on-resistance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Auxiliary RESETIN Input | 1.235V precision comparator enables monitoring of secondary supplies (e.g., 2.5V, 1.8V rails) using two external resistors - no additional ICs required. |
| Chip-Enable Gating | Sub-10ns CEIN-to-CEOUT propagation delay with 100Ω on-resistance prevents SRAM write corruption during brownout - eliminates need for external logic. |
| Battery Switchover | Automatic VCC/BATT switching with 40mV hysteresis prevents oscillation during slow VCC decay - ensures seamless RAM retention without software intervention. |
| Low-Power Operation | 13µA typical ICC at 5.5V and 2µA battery standby current enable >10-year shelf life in coin-cell powered devices. |
| Power-Fail Warning | Dedicated PFI/PFO path with 1.235V threshold and 4µs response time provides early NMI interrupt before system reset - improves fault logging capability. |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX16036LLB29+ | Factory-set reset threshold 2.93V (±65mV) instead of 3.08V; identical pinout, timing, and feature set. | Suitable for 2.8V/3.0V systems where tighter margin below 3.08V is required; same industrial temp range and µDFN-10 package. | Select MAX16036LLB29+ when system VCC nominal is 2.8V and brownout must trigger before crossing 3.0V. |

FAQ
What is the factory-set reset threshold voltage for MAX16036LLB31+?
The MAX16036LLB31+ has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 3.08V with ±70mV tolerance over -40°C to +85°C. This value is laser-trimmed during production and applies to VCC falling edge detection. The threshold remains stable across temperature, with normalized variation <±0.3% from -40°C to +85°C per the typical operating characteristics graph (toc07).
How does the RESETIN input function in MAX16036LLB31+?
The RESETIN input in MAX16036LLB31+ connects to an internal 1.235V comparator. When voltage at RESETIN falls below 1.235V ±50mV, RESET asserts immediately. The input draws <25nA, allowing use of high-value resistor dividers (e.g., 1MΩ) for secondary supply monitoring without accuracy loss. Propagation delay from RESETIN recovery to RESET deassertion is 1.5µs min.
Can MAX16036LLB31+ operate with VCC as low as 1.2V?
Yes, MAX16036LLB31+ guarantees active-low RESET output functionality down to VCC = 1.2V, including valid VOL ≤0.4V at ISINK = 100µA. The device maintains all supervisory functions - including RESETIN comparison, PFI monitoring, and CEIN/CEOUT gating - across the full 1.2V to 5.5V supply range, enabling robust operation during deep brownout.
What is the maximum load current supported by the OUT pin of MAX16036LLB31+?
The OUT pin of MAX16036LLB31+ supports up to 200mA when sourced from VCC under normal operation. In battery-backup mode, the internal MOSFET delivers load current limited by BATT voltage and temperature-dependent on-resistance (e.g., 4.6Ω at 2.5V, 25°C). Short-circuit protection limits continuous current to safe levels without latch-up.
Does MAX16036LLB31+ include watchdog timer functionality?
No, MAX16036LLB31+ does not include watchdog timer functionality. Per the Selector Guide and Pin Description table, watchdog input (WDI) is only present on MAX16034/MAX16038 variants. MAX16036LLB31+ belongs to the RESETIN-equipped subgroup (MAX16036/MAX16040) and omits WDI, MR, and BATTON pins to optimize pin count for its specific supervisory role.
