Product details
Overview
The MAX16036PLB29+ from Maxim Integrated is a low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with auxiliary adjustable-reset input (RESETIN), active-low open-drain reset output, and battery switchover capability. It operates from 1.2V to 5.5V, features a factory-set 2.93V reset threshold (±70mV), 140ms minimum reset timeout, and consumes only 13µA quiescent current at 2.8V. It is used in portable equipment and critical μP systems for reliable power monitoring and backup control.
For engineers reviewing the MAX16036PLB29+ datasheet, MAX16036PLB29+ pinout, MAX16036PLB29+ application, or MAX16036PLB29+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.93V precision reset threshold, RESETIN comparator with 1.235V reference, open-drain reset structure, -40°C to +85°C operation, and 2mm × 2mm 10-pin µDFN package - all critical for battery-backed SRAM retention and brownout immunity in space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The MAX16036PLB29+ integrates a precision voltage monitor, RESETIN comparator referenced to 1.235V, power-fail comparator (PFI/PFO), and battery switchover MOSFET with 40mV hysteresis. Its RESETIN function enables user-adjustable monitoring of secondary supplies via external resistor divider, while the open-drain RESET output supports wired-OR configurations and level-shifting.
It implements chip-enable gating (CEIN/CEOUT) with <2ns propagation delay and <100Ω on-resistance, enabling real-time protection of CMOS RAM during brownouts. The device asserts RESET when VCC falls below 2.93V, when RESETIN drops below 1.235V, or when PFI falls below 1.235V - with independent timing paths and no shared internal references between these inputs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.93V (min 2.85V, max 3.00V); ensures reliable reset assertion for 3.0V/3.3V supply rails under worst-case tolerance and temperature drift. |
| RESET Output Type | Active-low open-drain; allows flexible pull-up configuration, multi-source reset bus sharing, and voltage-level translation up to 6V. |
| Quiescent Supply Current | 13µA at 2.8V; enables ultra-low-power operation in always-on battery-backed systems without compromising supervision accuracy. |
| RESET Timeout Period | 140ms (min); guarantees sufficient reset hold time for full μP initialization and clock stabilization after power recovery. |
| RESETIN Threshold | 1.235V (±50mV); provides stable reference for configuring external resistor dividers to monitor secondary supplies (e.g., 2.5V, 5.0V). |
| Battery Switchover Hysteresis | 40mV; prevents oscillatory switching between VCC and BATT during slow VCC ramp-down or noisy battery transitions. |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +85°C; fully specified across industrial temperature range for use in embedded controllers and POS terminals. |
Pinout & Package
MAX16036PLB29+ is housed in a 2mm × 2mm, 10-pin µDFN package with exposed pad (pin 10 = GND EP). Pin 1 is marked by dot; pin numbering follows standard counter-clockwise layout starting from top-left corner.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET | Active-low open-drain reset output; asserted when VCC < 2.93V, RESETIN < 1.235V, or PFI < 1.235V; requires external pull-up. |
| 2 | CEIN | Chip-enable input; controls CEOUT pass-gate; low during normal operation, high during reset disables CE path to protect RAM. |
| 3 | PFI | Power-fail input; monitors external supply via resistor divider; trips PFO when voltage falls below 1.235V. |
| 4 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference; connects to exposed pad (pin 10) for thermal and electrical integrity. |
| 5 | MR | Manual-reset input; internally pulled up to VCC; driving low asserts RESET for ≥140ms after release. |
| 6 | PFO | Active-low open-drain power-fail output; mirrors PFI state; also asserts low when VCC falls below reset threshold. |
| 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 valid, switches to BATT during backup mode; supports up to 200mA load. |
| 9 | BATT | Backup battery input; automatically engages when VCC < 2.93V and VCC < VBATT – 40mV; supports 2.1V–5.5V batteries. |
| 10 | CEOUT | Chip-enable output; passes CEIN signal when RESET deasserted; held high during reset to block erroneous memory writes. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Auxiliary RESETIN Comparator | 1.235V internal reference enables precise monitoring of secondary supplies (e.g., 2.5V, 5.0V) using two external resistors - no additional ICs required. |
| Open-Drain RESET & PFO Outputs | Supports wired-OR reset buses, mixed-voltage system interfacing, and flexible pull-up selection (e.g., 1.8V, 3.3V, 5V) without level shifters. |
| Battery Switchover with 40mV Hysteresis | Prevents chattering during slow VCC decay or marginal battery conditions, ensuring clean transition to backup power without glitches on OUT. |
| Chip-Enable Gating with <2ns Delay | Enables real-time protection of CMOS RAM during brownouts; CEOUT blocks write cycles within nanoseconds of RESET assertion. |
| Ultra-Low 13µA Quiescent Current | Extends battery life in always-on backup applications; maintains full supervision functionality even at 1.2V VCC. |

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX16036PLB29+?
The MAX16036PLB29+ has a factory-set reset threshold of 2.93V, with guaranteed min/max limits of 2.85V and 3.00V over temperature and process variation. This value is laser-trimmed and specified at -40°C to +85°C; typical drift is ±0.1% over temperature as shown in the Normalized Reset Threshold vs. Temperature graph.
Does the MAX16036PLB29+ support battery switchover, and what is the switchover hysteresis?
Yes, the MAX16036PLB29+ supports automatic battery switchover: when VCC falls below 2.93V and VBATT exceeds VCC by at least 40mV, OUT switches from VCC to BATT. The 40mV hysteresis prevents oscillation during slow VCC decay or marginal battery conditions, ensuring clean, glitch-free transition.
What is the function of the RESETIN pin on the MAX16036PLB29+?
The RESETIN pin on the MAX16036PLB29+ is an auxiliary comparator input referenced to an internal 1.235V threshold. When the voltage at RESETIN falls below 1.235V, the device asserts RESET. It is designed to monitor secondary supplies (e.g., 2.5V, 5.0V) using an external resistor divider - a feature unique to the MAX16036/MAX16040 variants.
What package type and dimensions does the MAX16036PLB29+ use?
The MAX16036PLB29+ is supplied in a 2mm × 2mm, 10-pin µDFN package with exposed thermal pad (pin 10 = GND EP). It has 0.5mm pin pitch and meets JEDEC MO-229 standards; the "+" suffix denotes lead(Pb)-free/RoHS-compliant construction.
How does the MAX16036PLB29+ handle power-fail detection and reporting?
The MAX16036PLB29+ uses the PFI pin to monitor an external supply via resistor divider; when PFI voltage falls below 1.235V, the open-drain PFO pin pulls low. PFO also asserts low when VCC drops below the 2.93V reset threshold - providing dual-path power-fail indication without external logic.
