Product details
Overview
The MAX16036PLB29+T 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. It is used in portable equipment and critical μP systems requiring reliable power monitoring and backup-battery handover.
For engineers reviewing the MAX16036PLB29+T datasheet, MAX16036PLB29+T pinout, MAX16036PLB29+T application, or MAX16036PLB29+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.93V reset threshold accuracy, RESETIN comparator with 1.235V reference, open-drain reset structure, 10-pin µDFN package, and support for battery-backed SRAM retention during brownout.
Technical Context
The MAX16036PLB29+T implements a precision voltage-monitoring architecture centered on dual comparators: one for VCC against a trimmed internal bandgap reference (2.93V ±70mV), and another for the external RESETIN pin referenced to a stable 1.235V internal reference. Its reset generator enforces a guaranteed 140ms minimum assertion time after VCC recovery or RESETIN release.
It integrates a low-impedance MOSFET-based battery switchover path (RON ≤ 4.6Ω at 2.5V) and an open-drain PFO output tied to the same power-fail comparator as PFI. The device lacks watchdog or manual-reset inputs-its variant-specific feature set is strictly limited to RESETIN, PFI/PFO, battery switchover, and chip-enable gating (CEIN/CEOUT).

Pinout & Package
MAX16036PLB29+T is housed in a 10-pin, 2mm × 2mm, 0.5mm pitch µDFN package with exposed thermal pad (pin 10 = GND). Pin 1 is marked by dot; pin numbering follows standard counter-clockwise convention from top-left corner.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET | Active-low open-drain reset output; asserts when VCC < 2.93V or RESETIN < 1.235V |
| 2 | CEIN | Chip-enable input; gates CE signal to CEOUT during reset to prevent RAM corruption |
| 3 | PFI | Power-fail input; triggers PFO when voltage falls below 1.235V |
| 4 | GND | Ground reference for all analog and digital functions |
| 5 | RESETIN | Adjustable reset input; comparator references internal 1.235V; used to monitor secondary supply |
| 6 | PFO | Active-low open-drain power-fail output; mirrors PFI state and asserts on VCC brownout |
| 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 |
| 9 | BATT | Backup battery input; supplies OUT when VCC drops below reset threshold and VBATT > VCC + 40mV |
| 10 | CEOUT | Chip-enable output; passes CEIN signal unless reset is asserted, then holds high or low per timing rules |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Auxiliary RESETIN comparator | 1.235V internal reference enables precise monitoring of secondary supplies (e.g., 2.5V, 1.8V rails) using external resistive dividers |
| Open-drain RESET/PFO outputs | Supports flexible interface with multiple logic families and enables shared reset bus configurations |
| Battery switchover with hysteresis | 40mV automatic hysteresis prevents oscillation during slow VCC decay; BATT-to-OUT RON ≤ 4.6Ω ensures low dropout |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 13µA typical ICC and 2µA max IBATT in backup mode extend coin-cell lifetime beyond 10 years |
| Chip-enable gating logic | Prevents erroneous writes to CMOS RAM during brownout by blocking CE transitions for ≥1µs after reset assertion |
Applications
| Portable Medical Sensors | Industrial Data Loggers |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Battery-powered wearable ECG sensor continuously logging data to SRAM during intermittent charging cycles. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervisory IC monitors main Li-ion supply (3.0V) and asserts RESET if voltage drops below 2.93V; switches SRAM supply to backup coin cell via OUT/BATT path.

Use Value: Dual-supply monitoring ensures RTC continues running even if main regulator fails; open-drain outputs interface directly with meter's 3.3V logic. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar supervisory circuit applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX16036LLB29+T | Push-pull RESET and PFO outputs instead of open-drain; identical reset threshold, timing, and pinout | Requires no external pull-up resistors; not suitable for wired-OR reset buses or mixed-voltage systems | Select when driving single-load reset inputs and minimizing BOM count is prioritized over bus flexibility |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Fixed 3.3V reset threshold; push-pull RESET; no RESETIN or CE gating; 6-pin SOT-23 package | Lacks auxiliary monitoring and chip-enable protection; suited only for basic VCC supervision without backup control | Choose only for cost-sensitive, space-constrained designs needing only primary supply monitoring and no battery switchover |
Compared with MAX16036LLB29+T, the MAX16036PLB29+T offers bus-compatible open-drain outputs but requires external pull-ups; compared with TPS3808G33DBVR, it adds RESETIN monitoring and CE gating at the cost of larger package and higher complexity-making it essential for systems requiring dual-supply validation and SRAM write protection.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX16036PLB29+T?
The MAX16036PLB29+T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 2.93V, with a guaranteed tolerance of ±70mV (2.86V to 3.00V) over the full -40°C to +85°C temperature range. This value is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Reset Threshold" for part numbers ending in "_29", and is confirmed by Maxim's official datasheet revision 2 (May 2019).
Does the MAX16036PLB29+T support battery backup for SRAM, and how does switchover work?
Yes, the MAX16036PLB29+T supports battery backup for SRAM via its BATT and OUT pins. When VCC falls below the 2.93V reset threshold and VBATT exceeds VCC by at least 40mV, the internal MOSFET automatically connects BATT to OUT. The switchover includes 40mV hysteresis to prevent oscillation, and BATT-to-OUT on-resistance is ≤4.6Ω at 2.5V, ensuring low dropout during backup mode.
What is the function of the RESETIN pin on the MAX16036PLB29+T, and what voltage does it trigger at?
The RESETIN pin on the MAX16036PLB29+T is an auxiliary reset input that asserts the RESET output when its voltage falls below 1.235V ±50mV. It uses an internal precision 1.235V reference, enabling accurate monitoring of secondary power rails (e.g., 2.5V, 1.8V) via an external resistor divider. The RESETIN-to-RESET propagation delay is 1.5µs (typ) over temperature.
Is the MAX16036PLB29+T pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX16033–MAX16040 family?
Yes, the MAX16036PLB29+T shares the same 10-pin µDFN package and pinout as all MAX16033–MAX16036 variants (e.g., MAX16033LLBxx+T, MAX16034PLBxx+T). Pin functions-including RESET, CEIN, PFI, RESETIN, PFO, VCC, OUT, BATT, GND, and CEOUT-are identical across this subset. However, unused pins (e.g., MR on MAX16033) are NC on MAX16036PLB29+T, and functionality differs per variant.
What are the absolute maximum ratings for VCC and BATT on the MAX16036PLB29+T?
The MAX16036PLB29+T has an absolute maximum rating of -0.3V to +6V for VCC and BATT pins. Exceeding these limits may cause permanent damage. Continuous VCC supply current is rated at 250mA, while BATT continuous current is limited to 40mA. These values are specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the official datasheet and apply regardless of operating mode.
