Product details
Overview
The MAX16039LLA31+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power, 8-pin μDFN supervisory circuit designed for battery-backed SRAM retention and microprocessor reset control in portable and industrial systems. It features a factory-set 3.08V reset threshold (L = push-pull RESET), battery-on indicator (BATTON), power-fail comparator (PFI/PFO), and operates from 1.2V to 5.5V with 13µA quiescent current. It is used in POS terminals and critical μP power monitoring where reliable switchover to backup power is required.
For engineers reviewing the MAX16039LLA31+T datasheet, MAX16039LLA31+T pinout, MAX16039LLA31+T application, or MAX16039LLA31+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.08V reset threshold accuracy, active-low push-pull RESET output, BATTON high-indication during battery-backup mode, -40°C to +85°C operation, and 2mm × 2mm μDFN-8 package compatibility with space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The MAX16039LLA31+T implements a precision voltage-monitoring architecture with a dedicated 1.235V internal reference for both PFI and RESETIN comparators. Its reset generator enforces a minimum 140ms timeout after VCC recovery, and its integrated MOSFET-based switchover path delivers up to 200mA from VCC or BATT with <4.6Ω on-resistance at 2.5V.
As the BATTON-enabled variant in the MAX16035–MAX16039 subset, it provides a push-pull high-active output signaling battery-backup mode, distinct from watchdog or manual-reset variants. It lacks CEIN/CEOUT and WDI functionality, simplifying integration in applications requiring only reset supervision and battery status indication.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX16039LLA31+T?
The MAX16039LLA31+T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 3.08V (min 3.00V, max 3.15V) at 25°C, with ±0.5% variation over -40°C to +85°C. This value is fixed by the "A31" suffix and applies to VCC falling edge detection; the device asserts RESET when VCC drops below this threshold and holds it active for ≥140ms after VCC rises above it. The MAX16039LLA31+T uses an internal bandgap reference ensuring stability across voltage and temperature.
Does the MAX16039LLA31+T support battery switchover with supercapacitors?
Yes, the MAX16039LLA31+T fully supports supercapacitor backup sources. Its BATT input accepts voltages up to 6V and its internal MOSFET switchover circuit engages when VCC falls below the 3.08V threshold and VBATT exceeds VCC by 40mV. Supercaps can be connected directly to BATT with no series diode required, and the device draws only ≤2µA from the supercap in backup mode-enabling multi-hour hold-up times with common 0.47F units. The MAX16039LLA31+T's low 13µA quiescent current further extends backup duration.
How does the BATTON output behave in the MAX16039LLA31+T?
The BATTON output of the MAX16039LLA31+T is a push-pull, high-active signal that asserts logic-high only during valid battery-backup mode-i.e., when VCC is below the 3.08V reset threshold AND VBATT is at least 40mV greater than VCC. It sinks 3.2mA at 0.4V saturation and sources ~10µA from OUT in backup mode. Unlike open-drain alternatives, BATTON requires no external pull-up and can directly drive LEDs or optocouplers. It deasserts immediately when VCC recovers above threshold, providing precise, real-time status feedback for system firmware or UI indicators.
Can the MAX16039LLA31+T monitor a secondary power rail like +5V or +12V?
Yes, the MAX16039LLA31+T can monitor secondary rails using its PFI input. By connecting a resistor divider from the target rail to PFI and GND, the internal 1.235V comparator detects when the divided voltage falls below threshold-e.g., a 5V rail trips PFO when its voltage drops below ~5.05V (using R1/R2 = 3.08). The PFI input draws only ±100nA, minimizing divider loading error. PFO then asserts low to signal the event to µP NMI or interrupt lines. This capability is independent of the main VCC reset function and works concurrently with BATTON and RESET operations in the MAX16039LLA31+T.
What is the maximum continuous output current capability of the MAX16039LLA31+T's OUT pin?
The OUT pin of the MAX16039LLA31+T delivers up to 200mA when sourced from VCC under normal operation. In battery-backup mode, current delivery depends on BATT voltage and temperature: at VBATT = 2.5V and TA = 25°C, it sustains ≥5mA with ≤0.15V drop; at VBATT = 3.15V, it supports ≥10mA with ≤0.15V drop; and at VBATT = 4.5V, it handles ≥20mA with ≤0.2V drop. The internal MOSFET's on-resistance ranges from 3.1Ω (VCC = 4.75V) to 4.6Ω (VCC = 2.5V), and the device includes short-circuit protection limiting OUT fault current to safe levels for up to 5 seconds. This makes the MAX16039LLA31+T suitable for powering small SRAM banks or low-power peripherals.
