Product details
Overview
The MAX16036PLB31+ from Maxim Integrated is a low-power, 10-pin μDFN supervisory IC designed for battery-backed SRAM power management in microprocessor systems. It provides auxiliary adjustable-reset input (RESETIN), power-fail warning (PFI/PFO), active-low open-drain reset output, chip-enable gating, and backup-battery switchover - with factory-set 3.08V reset threshold, 140ms minimum reset timeout, and 13μA quiescent current. It is used in portable POS terminals and industrial controllers requiring reliable brownout protection and nonvolatile memory retention.
For engineers reviewing the MAX16036PLB31+ datasheet, MAX16036PLB31+ pinout, MAX16036PLB31+ application, or MAX16036PLB31+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its RESETIN comparator threshold (1.235V), open-drain reset structure, 10-pin μDFN-10 package compatibility, and support for dual-supply monitoring in battery-switchover mode.
Technical Context
The MAX16036PLB31+ integrates a precision 1.235V internal reference to compare external voltages at the RESETIN pin, asserting reset when input falls below threshold. Its chip-enable gating path (CEIN→CEOUT) remains functional during normal operation but disables on reset assertion to prevent erroneous writes to CMOS RAM during brownout.
It features an independent power-fail comparator monitoring PFI with 1.235V trip point and 1% hysteresis, driving PFO low upon failure. The device operates from 1.2V to 5.5V supply, supports battery backup with <2μA standby current, and guarantees reset validity down to 1.2V VCC.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 3.00V (min), 3.08V (typ), 3.15V (max) - factory-trimmed voltage at which RESET asserts on VCC fall |
| RESETIN Threshold | 1.185V–1.285V - precise internal reference enables accurate secondary supply monitoring |
| Reset Timeout Period | 140ms (min), 280ms (max) - ensures μP completes power-up initialization before release |
| Quiescent Supply Current | 13μA (typ) at VCC = 2.8V - enables multi-year battery life in always-on backup mode |
| Output Type | Active-low open-drain RESET and PFO - allows wired-OR logic and level translation with external pull-ups |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +85°C - fully specified for industrial and embedded environments |
| Package | 10-pin μDFN (2mm × 2mm, 0.5mm pitch) - space-constrained PCBs in portable equipment |
Pinout & Package
MAX16036PLB31+ 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 dot is oriented top-left.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET | Active-low open-drain reset output - asserted when VCC < VTH, RESETIN < 1.235V, or PFI < 1.235V; requires external pull-up |
| 2 | CEIN | Chip-enable input - controls CEOUT pass-gate; ignored during reset assertion |
| 3 | PFI | Power-fail input - referenced to 1.235V; falling edge triggers PFO low for early power-loss warning |
| 4 | GND | Ground reference - shared return for all analog and digital functions |
| 5 | MR | Manual-reset input - not used in MAX16036 (no internal pullup or debounce); leave unconnected or tie to VCC |
| 6 | PFO | Active-low open-drain power-fail output - mirrors PFI status; also asserts when VCC < VTH |
| 7 | VCC | Main supply input - powers internal circuitry; range 1.2V–5.5V; reset asserted if below 3.08V |
| 8 | OUT | Switched output - sourced from VCC normally, switches to BATT during backup mode (VCC < VTH and VCC < VBATT) |
| 9 | BATT | Backup battery input - supplies OUT when VCC fails; switchover hysteresis prevents chatter |
| 10 | CEOUT | Chip-enable output - low-impedance pass-through of CEIN when reset deasserted; pulled up to OUT when disconnected |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Auxiliary RESETIN comparator | 1.235V internal reference enables user-configurable reset for secondary supplies via resistor divider |
| Open-drain RESET/PFO outputs | Supports flexible voltage-level interfacing and wired-OR bus architectures without contention |
| Chip-enable gating | Prevents spurious writes to SRAM during brownout by disabling CEIN→CEOUT path on reset assertion |
| Battery switchover control | Automatic MOSFET-based switching to BATT with <2μA standby current preserves battery life |
| Power-fail warning | Dedicated PFI/PFO path provides early interrupt before VCC drops below reset threshold |
Applications
| POS Terminal Power Management | Industrial Controller Brownout Protection |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Battery-backed SRAM retains transaction logs during AC power loss in retail point-of-sale terminals.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX16036LLB31+ | Push-pull RESET and PFO outputs instead of open-drain; same RESETIN, CEIN/CEOUT, and switchover functionality | Requires no external pull-up resistors; incompatible with wired-OR bus topologies | Select when driving CMOS inputs directly and board layout prohibits pull-up placement |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Fixed 3.3V reset threshold; no RESETIN input or CE gating; only push-pull RESET; higher 20μA ICC | Lacks auxiliary supply monitoring and SRAM write-protection features; suitable for basic μP reset only | Choose for cost-sensitive designs where battery switchover and CE gating are unnecessary |
Compared with MAX16036LLB31+, the MAX16036PLB31+ offers greater interface flexibility via open-drain outputs, while TPS3808G33DBVR reduces feature set and increases supply current - making it a simpler but less capable alternative for non-backup applications.

FAQ
What is the factory-set reset threshold voltage for MAX16036PLB31+?
The MAX16036PLB31+ has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 3.00V (min), 3.08V (typ), and 3.15V (max), corresponding to the "31" suffix in the part number. This value is laser-trimmed during production and applies to the VCC supply monitoring function. The RESETIN input uses a separate 1.235V internal reference and is not affected by this threshold.
Does MAX16036PLB31+ support manual reset functionality?
No, the MAX16036PLB31+ does not include a manual-reset (MR) input. MR is only present on MAX16033/MAX16037 variants. Pin 5 of MAX16036PLB31+ is reserved and must be left unconnected or tied to VCC; it has no internal pullup or debounce circuitry.
How does the RESETIN input work on MAX16036PLB31+?
The RESETIN input on MAX16036PLB31+ compares an external voltage against a precision 1.185V–1.285V internal reference. When RESETIN falls below this threshold, RESET asserts for at least 140ms. It is intended for monitoring secondary supplies using a resistor divider - for example, setting VRTH = 5V via R1/R2 = 3.05 (with R2 = 100kΩ, R1 ≈ 305kΩ).
What is the maximum load current supported by the OUT pin of MAX16036PLB31+?
The OUT pin of MAX16036PLB31+ delivers up to 200mA from VCC under normal operation. In battery-backup mode (VCC < VTH), it sources current from BATT through an internal MOSFET with on-resistance ranging from 3.1Ω (at VCC = 4.75V) to 4.6Ω (at VCC = 2.5V), limiting practical continuous current to ~100mA depending on BATT voltage and thermal conditions.
Can MAX16036PLB31+ drive a standard CMOS microprocessor reset input directly?
Yes, but only with an external pull-up resistor. Because MAX16036PLB31+ features an open-drain RESET output, it requires a pull-up (typically 10kΩ to VCC) to generate a valid high-level signal for CMOS reset inputs. The output sinks up to 20mA when asserted, ensuring robust low-state drive into typical μP reset pins with 100pF–200pF capacitance.
