Product details
Overview
The MAX16039LLA46+T from Maxim Integrated is an 8-pin μDFN battery-backup supervisory IC with active-low push-pull reset, battery-on (BATTON) indicator, and precision 4.63V reset threshold. It monitors VCC supply voltage, provides automatic switchover to backup battery during brownout, asserts BATTON high in backup mode, and operates down to 1.2V supply. It is used in portable POS terminals and real-time clock backup circuits requiring low-quiescent-current supervision.
For engineers reviewing the MAX16039LLA46+T datasheet, MAX16039LLA46+T pinout, MAX16039LLA46+T application, or MAX16039LLA46+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4.63V factory-set reset threshold, 13µA quiescent current at 2.8V, 8-pin 2mm × 2mm μDFN package, BATTON push-pull output capability, and -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range.
Technical Context
The MAX16039LLA46+T implements a precision bandgap-based reset generator with 4.63V ±0.125V threshold (VTH), 140ms minimum reset timeout (tRP), and active-low push-pull RESET output. Its internal MOSFET enables seamless VCC-to-BATT switchover when VCC falls below VTH and VBATT exceeds VCC by ≥40mV.
It integrates a dedicated BATTON output that drives high during battery-backup mode with 0.4V saturation at 3.2mA sink, and features independent power-fail comparator input (PFI) referenced to 1.235V with 1% hysteresis. All functions operate with supply current as low as 1µA in battery-backup mode.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold Voltage | 4.63V (factory-set, ±0.125V over -40°C to +85°C); ensures reliable reset assertion for 5V systems before undervoltage lockout. |
| Quiescent Supply Current | 13µA typical at VCC = 2.8V; enables multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries in always-on backup applications. |
| Battery-Backup Supply Current | 1µA at TA = +25°C, VBATT = 2.8V, VCC = 0V; minimizes battery drain during extended power loss. |
| Reset Timeout Period | 140ms minimum; guarantees microprocessor reset duration meets ARM/Cortex and legacy μP requirements. |
| BATTON Output Type | Active-high push-pull; delivers 3.2mA sink capability at 0.4V VOL, suitable for direct LED indication or external transistor base drive. |
| Operating Temperature Range | -40°C to +85°C; qualified for industrial and commercial embedded environments including POS and instrumentation. |
| Package | 8-pin μDFN (2mm × 2mm, 0.5mm pitch); supports high-density PCB layouts and automated assembly. |
Pinout & Package
MAX16039LLA46+T is housed in an 8-pin, 2mm × 2mm, 0.5mm-pitch μDFN package with exposed thermal pad (pin 8). 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 push-pull reset output; asserts low when VCC < 4.63V, remains low for ≥140ms after VCC recovery. |
| 2 | PFI | Power-fail input; referenced to 1.235V internal comparator; triggers PFO when voltage falls below threshold. |
| 3 | GND | Ground reference for all analog and digital circuitry; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane. |
| 4 | MR | Manual-reset input; logic-low assertion forces RESET; includes internal 20kΩ pullup to VCC. |
| 5 | PFO | Active-low power-fail output; open-drain compatible; asserts low when PFI falls below 1.235V or VCC drops below VTH. |
| 6 | VCC | Main supply input (1.2V–5.5V); powers internal circuitry and sources OUT during normal operation. |
| 7 | OUT | Regulated output; sourced from VCC when VCC > VTH, switches to BATT when VCC < VTH and VBATT > VCC + 40mV. |
| 8 | BATT | Backup battery input; supplies OUT during brownout; accepts 2.1V–5.5V; no startup from BATT alone. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Battery-On (BATTON) Indicator | Dedicated push-pull output that goes high only during valid battery-backup mode-enables unambiguous status monitoring without external logic. |
| Factory-Trimmed Reset Threshold | 4.63V ±0.125V over full temperature range-eliminates need for external resistor dividers and improves system accuracy vs. discrete solutions. |
| Ultra-Low Backup Current | 1µA typical battery supply current at +25°C-extends CR2032 life beyond 10 years in RTC backup applications. |
| VCC-to-BATT Switchover Hysteresis | 40mV built-in hysteresis prevents oscillation during slow VCC decay-ensures clean, glitch-free transition to backup power. |
| Power-Fail Comparator Independence | Dedicated 1.235V reference and PFI input-allows monitoring of secondary rails (e.g., 3.3V, 2.5V) without affecting primary reset function. |
Applications
| POS Terminal Battery Backup | Real-Time Clock (RTC) Hold-up |
|---|---|
|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar supervisory circuit applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX16039PLA46+T | Same functionality and pinout, but features active-low open-drain RESET and PFO outputs instead of push-pull. | Suitable where wired-OR reset bus or level-shifting is required; incompatible with direct-drive loads needing push-pull sourcing. | Select MAX16039PLA46+T only if open-drain interface is explicitly needed; otherwise MAX16039LLA46+T provides simpler, more robust reset drive. |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V fixed reset threshold, no BATTON output, no battery switchover, SOT-23-6 package. | Limited to single-supply monitoring; cannot replace MAX16039LLA46+T in battery-backup or dual-rail applications. | Use only for basic 3.3V supply monitoring without backup or status indication; not a functional substitute for MAX16039LLA46+T. |
Compared with MAX16039PLA46+T, the MAX16039LLA46+T offers superior drive strength and noise immunity via push-pull RESET, while TPS3808G33DBVR lacks both battery management and status signaling-making MAX16039LLA46+T uniquely suited for compact, self-contained backup supervision.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the MAX16039LLA46+T?
The MAX16039LLA46+T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 4.63V, with guaranteed limits of 4.50V (min) and 4.75V (max) across -40°C to +85°C. This value is laser-trimmed during production and does not require external resistors-ensuring consistent performance without calibration overhead in the MAX16039LLA46+T design.
Does the MAX16039LLA46+T support battery switchover, and what is the switchover condition?
Yes, the MAX16039LLA46+T supports automatic battery switchover. It connects BATT to OUT when two conditions are met: VCC falls below the 4.63V reset threshold, and VBATT exceeds VCC by at least 40mV. This hysteresis prevents oscillation during slow VCC decay and is intrinsic to the MAX16039LLA46+T's internal MOSFET control logic.
What is the function and electrical specification of the BATTON pin on the MAX16039LLA46+T?
The BATTON pin on the MAX16039LLA46+T is a push-pull output that asserts high exclusively during valid battery-backup mode. It sinks 3.2mA with 0.4V saturation voltage and sources ~10µA from OUT in backup mode. This provides unambiguous status indication-unlike open-drain alternatives-and enables direct LED drive or external transistor control in the MAX16039LLA46+T implementation.
Can the MAX16039LLA46+T operate with supply voltages below 2.0V?
Yes, the MAX16039LLA46+T operates down to 1.2V VCC, and its RESET output remains valid (asserted low) even at 1.2V supply. This allows use in ultra-low-voltage systems such as energy-harvesting nodes or deep-sleep microcontrollers-maintaining supervision integrity where other supervisors fail, a core capability of the MAX16039LLA46+T.
Is the MAX16039LLA46+T pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX16033–MAX16040 family?
The MAX16039LLA46+T shares the same 8-pin μDFN package and pinout with MAX16037, MAX16038, MAX16040, and other 8-pin variants. However, feature sets differ: MAX16039LLA46+T includes BATTON but no watchdog or manual reset, unlike MAX16037/MAX16038. Pin compatibility exists, but functional substitution requires verification of required features per MAX16039LLA46+T datasheet.
