Product details
Overview
The MAX16037LLA31+ 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 control. It provides precise 3.08V reset threshold, 140ms minimum reset timeout, and operates from 1.2V to 5.5V supply voltage. Used in portable equipment and POS terminals to ensure reliable SRAM backup during brownout.
For engineers reviewing the MAX16037LLA31+ datasheet, MAX16037LLA31+ pinout, MAX16037LLA31+ application, or MAX16037LLA31+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its factory-set 3.08V reset threshold, 13µA quiescent current at 2.8V, debounced MR input, and integrated VCC-to-BATT switchover with <40mV hysteresis - all in a space-constrained 2mm × 2mm package.
Technical Context
The MAX16037LLA31+ integrates a precision reset generator with ±1.5% threshold accuracy over temperature, a dedicated manual-reset input with internal 20kΩ pullup and 1µs minimum pulse width support, and independent power-fail detection using a 1.235V reference comparator. Its reset assertion logic combines VCC monitoring, MR state, and reset timeout timing.
It implements battery switchover via a low-on-resistance MOSFET path (3.7Ω typical at 3.15V VCC), supports active-low push-pull RESET output with 0.3V VOL at 1.6mA sink, and maintains reset validity down to 1.2V supply - enabling operation during deep brownout conditions before full system shutdown.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold Voltage | 3.00V (min) to 3.15V (max); factory-trimmed 3.08V nominal for stable 3.0V/3.3V rail monitoring |
| Reset Timeout Period | 140ms (min); ensures µP completes power-up initialization before release |
| Supply Current | 13µA typical at VCC = 2.8V; enables multi-year battery life in backup mode |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.2V to 5.5V; supports operation through deep brownout and wide-input systems |
| Output Type | Active-low push-pull RESET; eliminates external pullup and simplifies interface to µP reset pin |
| Battery Switchover Hysteresis | 40mV; prevents oscillation during slow VCC decay near threshold crossing |
| MR Input Pullup | 20kΩ (min) to VCC; allows direct connection of momentary switch without external components |
Pinout & Package
MAX16037LLA31+ uses an 8-pin, 2mm × 2mm µDFN package with wettable flanks and RoHS-compliant lead-free finish. 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 < 3.08V, MR low, or after reset timeout; drives µP reset pin directly |
| 2 - PFI | Power-fail input | Monitors external voltage divider; triggers PFO when input falls below 1.235V |
| 3 - GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for VCC, BATT, and signal currents; must be low-impedance |
| 4 - MR | Manual-reset input | Logic-low assertion forces RESET; internally pulled up to VCC; debounced against noise |
| 5 - PFO | Active-low power-fail output | Push-pull output goes low when PFI < 1.235V or VCC < reset threshold |
| 6 - VCC | Main supply input | Accepts 1.2V–5.5V; powers internal circuitry and supplies OUT when above threshold |
| 7 - OUT | Regulated output | Sources from VCC normally; switches to BATT during backup; supports up to 200mA load |
| 8 - BATT | Backup battery input | Connects to coin cell or supercap; activates when VCC < VTH and VCC < VBATT – 40mV |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-set 3.08V reset threshold | Eliminates external resistor network; guarantees ±1.5% accuracy over -40°C to +85°C |
| Debounced manual-reset input | Internal 20kΩ pullup and 1µs glitch immunity enable direct switch connection without RC filter |
| Independent power-fail comparator | Dedicated 1.235V reference and PFI/PFO path allows early warning of secondary rail failure |
| Low 13µA quiescent current | Extends battery life in always-on backup mode; measured at VCC = 2.8V, TA = +25°C |
| VCC-to-RESET propagation delay | 25µs max on VCC falling edge; ensures rapid response to supply collapse |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX16037PLA31+ | Same pinout and functionality but features active-low open-drain RESET and PFO outputs instead of push-pull | Requires external pullup resistors; suited for wired-OR reset bus configurations or level translation | Select when interfacing with multiple reset sources or legacy µPs requiring open-drain reset signaling |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V fixed reset threshold, 350ms timeout, 2.9µA IQ, SOT-23-6 package; no battery switchover or MR input | Lacks backup-battery control and manual reset; limited to basic power monitoring without SRAM retention | Choose for cost-sensitive, space-constrained applications needing only reset supervision - not battery backup |
Compared with MAX16037PLA31+, the MAX16037LLA31+ eliminates external pullups and simplifies layout; versus TPS3808G33DBVR, it adds critical battery switchover and MR capability essential for data-retentive embedded systems.

FAQ
What is the factory-set reset threshold voltage for MAX16037LLA31+?
The MAX16037LLA31+ has a factory-set reset threshold of 3.08V nominal, with guaranteed range of 3.00V to 3.15V over -40°C to +85°C. This value is laser-trimmed during production and applies specifically to the "A31" suffix variant, making it ideal for monitoring 3.0V and 3.3V power rails without external components.
Does MAX16037LLA31+ support battery backup functionality?
Yes, MAX16037LLA31+ provides fully integrated battery switchover: when VCC falls below 3.08V and VBATT exceeds VCC by at least 40mV, the device automatically connects the BATT pin to the OUT pin to maintain power to SRAM or RTC. The internal MOSFET delivers up to 200mA with typical on-resistance of 3.7Ω at 3.15V.
What type of reset output does MAX16037LLA31+ provide?
MAX16037LLA31+ provides an active-low push-pull RESET output (denoted by "L" in the part number). It actively drives low during reset and high when deasserted - eliminating the need for an external pullup resistor and ensuring fast, robust interface to microprocessor reset inputs.
Can MAX16037LLA31+ monitor a secondary power supply?
Yes, MAX16037LLA31+ includes a dedicated PFI (power-fail input) pin referenced to an internal 1.235V comparator. By connecting a resistor divider from a secondary supply to PFI, the device can generate a PFO interrupt when that supply falls below the calculated trip point - independent of the main VCC reset function.
What is the minimum reset timeout period for MAX16037LLA31+?
The minimum reset timeout period for MAX16037LLA31+ is 140ms, guaranteed over temperature. This ensures sufficient hold time for microprocessors to complete power-up initialization sequences and stabilize clocks before release - critical for reliable boot in embedded systems.
