Product details
Overview
The MAX16036LLB31+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with auxiliary adjustable-reset input (RESETIN), power-fail comparator, active-low push-pull reset output, and chip-enable gating. It operates from 1.2V to 5.5V, features a factory-set 3.08V reset threshold (L31 variant), 140ms minimum reset timeout, and 13µA quiescent supply current. It is used in battery-backed SRAM systems for brownout protection and secondary supply monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the MAX16036LLB31+T datasheet, MAX16036LLB31+T pinout, MAX16036LLB31+T application, or MAX16036LLB31+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.08V reset threshold accuracy, RESETIN comparator with 1.235V reference, push-pull reset structure, -40°C to +85°C operation, and 10-pin µDFN package compatibility with space-constrained portable and industrial μP systems.
Technical Context
The MAX16036LLB31+T implements a precision voltage-monitoring architecture centered on dual comparators: one for VCC against a factory-trimmed bandgap reference (3.00–3.15V range for L31), and another for the user-adjustable RESETIN input referenced to a stable 1.235V internal reference. Its chip-enable gating path connects CEIN to CEOUT only when RESET is deasserted, with <7ns propagation delay at 5V and 50pF load.
It integrates a dedicated power-fail comparator (PFI/PFO) independent of the main reset generator, enabling early warning of supply collapse before VCC drops below the reset threshold. The device enters battery-backup mode when VCC falls below both the reset threshold and VBATT, switching OUT to BATT with <4.6Ω typical BATT-to-OUT on-resistance at 25°C and 5mA load.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
MAX16036LLB31+T is housed in a 10-pin, 2mm × 2mm, 0.5mm-pitch µDFN package with exposed pad (EP). Pin 1 is marked by a dot; pin numbering follows standard counter-clockwise convention starting from top-left corner when marking is oriented upright.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RESET | Active-low push-pull reset output | Asserts low during VCC undervoltage, RESETIN low, or power-fail; holds for ≥140ms after recovery. |
| 2 - CEIN | Chip-enable input | Controls CEOUT pass-through; disabled during reset to prevent erroneous RAM writes. |
| 3 - PFI | Power-fail input | Monitors external supply via resistor divider; trips PFO when voltage falls below 1.235V. |
| 4 - GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for all analog and digital functions; must be low-impedance connection. |
| 5 - MR | Manual-reset input | Debounced logic input; low assertion forces RESET for ≥140ms after release (not used in MAX16036). |
| 6 - PFO | Active-low power-fail output | Push-pull output asserted when PFI < 1.235V or VCC < reset threshold. |
| 7 - VCC | Main supply input | Accepts 1.2V–5.5V; powers internal circuitry and sources OUT during normal operation. |
| 8 - OUT | Regulated output | Sources from VCC normally; switches to BATT during backup mode with <4.6Ω on-resistance. |
| 9 - BATT | Battery backup input | Accepts 2.1V–5.5V; activates switchover when VCC < VTH and VCC < VBATT – 40mV. |
| 10 - CEOUT | Chip-enable output | Passes CEIN signal only when RESET is deasserted; pulled up to OUT when disconnected. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Auxiliary RESETIN comparator | 1.235V internal reference enables accurate monitoring of secondary supplies (e.g., 2.5V, 1.8V rails) with external resistive divider. |
| Chip-enable gating | CEIN-to-CEOUT transmission gate disables during reset, preventing spurious writes to CMOS RAM during brownout. |
| Power-fail warning | Dedicated PFI/PFO path provides early interrupt before VCC crosses reset threshold, allowing graceful shutdown. |
| Battery switchover control | Automatic BATT-to-OUT switching with 40mV hysteresis prevents oscillation during slow VCC decay. |
| Low-voltage operation | Functions down to 1.2V VCC; maintains reset validity and backup mode functionality even under deep brownout. |

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX16036LLB31+T?
The MAX16036LLB31+T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 3.08V, with guaranteed limits of 3.00V (min) and 3.15V (max) over the full -40°C to +85°C temperature range. This value is fixed for the L31 suffix and applies to the primary VCC monitoring function-not the auxiliary RESETIN input, which uses a separate 1.235V reference. The MAX16036LLB31+T datasheet specifies this in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Reset Threshold" for MAX160__L_31 variants.
Does the MAX16036LLB31+T support battery backup for SRAM, and how does switchover work?
Yes, the MAX16036LLB31+T supports automatic battery backup for SRAM via its OUT pin. When VCC falls below both the reset threshold (3.08V) and VBATT minus 40mV hysteresis, the internal MOSFET switches OUT from VCC to BATT. The BATT-to-OUT on-resistance is ≤4.6Ω at 25°C and 5mA load, ensuring low dropout during backup. The MAX16036LLB31+T remains fully functional in this mode, maintaining RESET assertion and PFO status while drawing only 1–2µA from the battery (excluding load current).
What is the purpose of the RESETIN pin on the MAX16036LLB31+T, and how is it configured?
The RESETIN pin on the MAX16036LLB31+T is a user-adjustable reset input referenced to an internal 1.235V precision bandgap. It allows monitoring of a secondary supply (e.g., 2.5V, 1.8V) using an external resistor divider. When the voltage at RESETIN falls below 1.235V, the device asserts RESET independently of VCC. The MAX16036LLB31+T datasheet provides design equations: R1 = R2 × ((VRTH / 1.235) – 1), where VRTH is the desired trip point. Input bias current is ≤25nA, enabling high-impedance dividers.
Can the MAX16036LLB31+T be used without a backup battery?
Yes, the MAX16036LLB31+T operates correctly without a backup battery. In such configurations, connect the BATT pin to GND and tie OUT directly to VCC. The device continues to provide VCC supervision, RESET generation, PFI/PFO monitoring, and CEIN/CEOUT gating. All core supervisory functions-including reset timeout, power-fail warning, and RESETIN monitoring-remain fully active. The MAX16036LLB31+T does not require BATT to power up or function; it only engages battery switchover when both VCC < VTH and VCC < VBATT – 40mV.
What are the key differences between the MAX16036LLB31+T and MAX16036PLB31+T?
The MAX16036LLB31+T and MAX16036PLB31+T share identical functionality, pinout, and electrical specifications except for output structure: the 'L' suffix denotes active-low push-pull RESET and PFO, while the 'P' suffix indicates active-low open-drain outputs. The MAX16036LLB31+T drives RESET low actively and releases high, eliminating external pull-up resistors. The MAX16036PLB31+T requires external pull-ups and supports wired-OR reset busing. Both use the same 10-pin µDFN package and operate identically in all other respects.
