Product details
Overview
The MAX16037LLA29+T from Maxim Integrated is an 8-pin μDFN low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with manual-reset input, power-fail comparator, active-low push-pull reset output, and battery switchover functionality. It features a factory-set 2.93V reset threshold, 140ms minimum reset timeout, 13μA quiescent current, and operates from 1.2V to 5.5V supply. It is used in portable equipment for reliable SRAM backup during brownout.
For engineers reviewing the MAX16037LLA29+T datasheet, MAX16037LLA29+T pinout, MAX16037LLA29+T application, or MAX16037LLA29+T equivalent, key selection criteria include reset threshold accuracy (±70mV), battery switchover hysteresis (40mV), MR debounced timing (120ns delay), and guaranteed operation across –40°C to +85°C.
Technical Context
The MAX16037LLA29+T integrates a precision voltage monitor with 2.93V ±0.07V threshold, a debounced manual-reset input with internal 20kΩ pullup, and a dedicated power-fail comparator referenced to 1.235V with 1% hysteresis. Its battery switchover logic activates when VCC falls below both VTH and VBATT, with 40mV hysteresis to prevent oscillation during slow VCC decay.
It delivers active-low push-pull RESET with VOL ≤0.3V at 1.6mA sink, supports up to 200mA OUT sourcing from VCC, and maintains reset assertion for ≥140ms after VCC recovery. The device enters ultra-low-current battery-backup mode (<2μA at TA = +25°C) when VCC = 0V and VBATT = 2.8V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.93V ±0.07V - sets precise brownout detection point for 3.0V/3.3V systems |
| Reset Timeout Period | 140ms min - ensures μP completes full initialization before release |
| Supply Current | 13μA typ at VCC = 2.8V - enables multi-year battery life in backup mode |
| Operating Voltage Range | 1.2V to 5.5V - supports single-cell Li-ion, coin-cell, and main rail monitoring |
| Output Type | Active-low push-pull RESET - eliminates external pullup and reduces BOM count |
| Battery Switchover Hysteresis | 40mV - prevents chattering during gradual VCC fall near VTH |

Pinout & Package
Package: 2mm × 2mm, 8-pin μDFN (pin pitch = 0.5mm), exposed pad, RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RESET | Active-low push-pull reset output | Asserts low during brownout, manual reset, or power fail; drives μP reset directly |
| 2 - PFI | Power-fail input | Monitors secondary supply via resistive divider; trips PFO when VPFI < 1.235V |
| 3 - GND | Ground reference | Common return for all analog/digital functions; ties to PCB thermal pad |
| 4 - MR | Manual-reset input | Debounced logic input; low pulse ≥1µs triggers reset; internal 20kΩ pullup to VCC |
| 5 - PFO | Active-low power-fail output | Push-pull output asserted when PFI falls below threshold or VCC < VTH |
| 6 - VCC | Main supply input | Accepts 1.2V–5.5V; powers internal circuitry and sources OUT during normal operation |
| 7 - OUT | Regulated output | Sources from VCC (≤200mA) or BATT (backup mode); connects to SRAM VCC |
| 8 - BATT | Battery backup input | Accepts 2.1V–5.5V; automatically engages when VCC < VTH and VCC < VBATT |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-trimmed reset threshold | 2.93V with ±70mV tolerance over –40°C to +85°C - eliminates external resistor network |
| Integrated battery switchover MOSFET | On-resistance ≤4.6Ω at VBATT = 2.5V - minimizes voltage drop during backup |
| Debounced manual-reset input | 120ns MR-to-RESET propagation delay with built-in noise immunity - no external RC required |
| Independent power-fail comparator | 1.235V reference with 1% hysteresis - enables accurate monitoring of auxiliary rails |

Use Value: Eliminates need for external CE gating logic and reduces layout area by integrating chip-enable control with reset generation. |
| Point-of-Sale Receipt Printers | Smart Energy Meters |
Use Scenario: Thermal printer powered from USB or AC adapter experiences line sags during print head activation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as primary supervisor: detects 3.3V rail sag via internal VTH, asserts RESET, and switches SRAM to backup battery. Use Value: Ensures transaction integrity by preventing partial writes to flash during voltage dips using deterministic 2.93V trip point. | Use Scenario: Meter retains time-of-use data and tamper logs during grid outage lasting minutes to hours. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides dual-rail supervision: main 3.3V rail monitored by VTH, auxiliary 5V rail monitored via PFI divider. Use Value: Enables independent failure reporting - PFO signals early power degradation while RESET guards against execution errors. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX16037PLA29+T | Same pinout and reset threshold, but open-drain RESET/PFO outputs | Requires external pullup resistors; suitable where wired-OR reset bus is needed | Select when system-level reset bus sharing or level translation is required |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V fixed reset threshold, 350ms timeout, 2.5μA IQ, SOT-23-6 package | Lacks battery switchover, MR input, and PFI/PFO; simpler single-rail monitor | Choose for cost-sensitive, space-constrained designs without backup requirements |

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX16037LLA29+T?
The MAX16037LLA29+T has a factory-set reset threshold of 2.93V, with a guaranteed range of 2.85V to 3.00V over –40°C to +85°C. This value is laser-trimmed during production and specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Reset Threshold" for part numbers ending in "L_29". The threshold remains stable with ±0.3% variation over temperature.
Does the MAX16037LLA29+T support battery switchover, and what is the switchover hysteresis?
Yes, the MAX16037LLA29+T supports automatic battery switchover from VCC to BATT when VCC falls below both the reset threshold and VBATT. The switchover hysteresis is 40mV - meaning the device reverts to VCC only when VCC rises 40mV above VBATT. This prevents oscillation during slow VCC recovery and is inherent to the internal comparator design.
What is the function of the MR pin on the MAX16037LLA29+T, and does it require external components?
The MR pin on the MAX16037LLA29+T is a debounced manual-reset input that asserts RESET when pulled low. It includes an internal 20kΩ (min) pullup resistor to VCC, so no external pullup is needed. A normally open momentary switch from MR to GND suffices; external RC debounce is unnecessary due to built-in 100ns glitch immunity and 120ns propagation delay.
Can the MAX16037LLA29+T monitor a second power supply, and how is that implemented?
Yes, the MAX16037LLA29+T can monitor a second supply using the PFI pin. Connect a resistive divider from the auxiliary rail to PFI and ground, sized so that PFI reaches 1.235V when the monitored voltage hits the desired trip point. The internal 1.235V comparator then asserts PFO low - which can be tied to MR or used as a standalone interrupt. Input current is ≤100nA, enabling high-impedance dividers.
What package type and dimensions does the MAX16037LLA29+T use, and is thermal pad connection required?
The MAX16037LLA29+T uses a 2mm × 2mm, 8-pin μDFN package with 0.5mm pin pitch and an exposed thermal pad. The pad must be soldered to a PCB copper pour for thermal and electrical stability - it is internally connected to GND. Standard reflow profiles for lead-free μDFN apply, with peak temperature ≤260°C per JEDEC J-STD-020.
