Product details
Overview
The MAX16040LLA31+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-power, 8-pin μDFN supervisory circuit designed for battery-backed SRAM power management in microprocessor systems. It provides auxiliary adjustable-reset input (RESETIN), active-low push-pull reset output, independent power-fail comparator, and backup-battery switchover with 40mV hysteresis. It operates from 1.2V to 5.5V supply, features 3.08V factory-set reset threshold, and supports -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range.
For engineers reviewing the MAX16040LLA31+T datasheet, MAX16040LLA31+T pinout, MAX16040LLA31+T application, or MAX16040LLA31+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its RESETIN comparator threshold (1.235V), battery-switchover behavior, push-pull reset structure, quiescent current (13µA at 2.8V), and compatibility with 2.5V/3.0V/3.3V/5.0V supply monitoring.
Technical Context
The MAX16040LLA31+T implements a precision 1.235V internal reference for its RESETIN comparator, enabling user-adjustable secondary supply monitoring via external resistor divider. Its reset generator asserts active-low RESET for ≥140ms after VCC rises above 3.08V or after RESETIN recovers from below 1.235V.
It integrates a dedicated battery switchover MOSFET with VCC-to-OUT on-resistance of 4.6Ω (at 2.5V, 25mA) and BATT-to-OUT on-resistance <5Ω across temperature. The device disables CE gating (not present in 8-pin variant) and omits MR, WDI, and BATTON functions - confirming its role as the RESETIN-equipped member of the MAX16033–MAX16040 family.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 3.00V to 3.15V (factory-set L31 code); ensures reliable reset assertion during 3.3V supply brownout |
| RESET Output Type | Active-low push-pull; drives low without external pull-up, supports direct µP reset input connection |
| RESET Timeout Period | 140ms minimum; guarantees µP initialization completes before release from reset |
| RESETIN Threshold | 1.235V ±50mV; enables precise monitoring of secondary supplies using external resistive divider |
| Quiescent Supply Current | 13µA at VCC = 2.8V; minimizes standby power draw in battery-critical portable applications |
| Operating Voltage Range | 1.2V to 5.5V; supports operation down to single-cell Li-ion or coin-cell backup voltage levels |
| Package | 2mm × 2mm, 8-pin μDFN; enables high-density PCB layout in space-constrained embedded modules |
Pinout & Package
MAX16040LLA31+T is housed in a thermally enhanced, lead(Pb)-free 2mm × 2mm, 8-pin μDFN package (pin pitch: 0.5mm), fully specified from -40°C to +85°C.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RESET | Active-low reset output | Push-pull driver; asserts low when VCC < 3.08V, RESETIN < 1.235V, or during power-up; holds low ≥140ms after recovery |
| 2 - PFI | Power-fail input | Monitors external supply via resistor divider; trips PFO when voltage falls below 1.235V |
| 3 - GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all analog and digital circuitry; must be low-impedance connection |
| 4 - RESETIN | Auxiliary reset input | User-adjustable comparator input; asserts RESET when voltage drops below 1.235V (±50mV) |
| 5 - PFO | Active-low power-fail output | Push-pull output; goes low when PFI < 1.235V or VCC < reset threshold; signals early power failure |
| 6 - VCC | Main supply input | Accepts 1.2V–5.5V; powers internal circuitry and sources OUT during normal operation |
| 7 - OUT | Power output | Sources from VCC when valid; switches to BATT when VCC < reset threshold and VCC < VBATT (40mV hysteresis) |
| 8 - BATT | Battery backup input | Connects to backup source (e.g., coin cell); supplies OUT during VCC brownout; draws ≤2µA in backup mode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Applications
| Portable Medical Sensors | Industrial PLC I/O Modules |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Battery-powered glucose monitors and ECG patches retain SRAM data during brief battery replacement or low-voltage events.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar supervisory circuit applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX16036LLA31+T | Same 8-pin μDFN package, identical RESETIN function and 3.08V reset threshold, but open-drain RESET output | Requires external pull-up resistor; less suitable for noise-sensitive µP reset inputs without added filtering | Select MAX16036LLA31+T only if system-level pull-up already exists or open-drain flexibility is required for wired-OR reset buses |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V fixed reset threshold, 350ms timeout, 2.9µA quiescent current, SOT-23-6 package | Lacks RESETIN input, battery switchover, and PFI/PFO; limited to basic reset-only applications | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR for cost-sensitive, space-constrained designs where auxiliary monitoring and backup control are unnecessary |
Compared with MAX16036LLA31+T, the MAX16040LLA31+T offers push-pull RESET for lower system noise susceptibility; compared with TPS3808G33DBVR, it adds critical battery switchover and dual-supply monitoring - making it indispensable for SRAM-retention systems requiring robust power sequencing.

FAQ
What is the factory-set reset threshold voltage for MAX16040LLA31+T?
The MAX16040LLA31+T has a factory-set reset threshold of 3.00V to 3.15V (typical 3.08V), denoted by the "L31" suffix in the part number. This threshold is laser-trimmed during production and guaranteed over -40°C to +85°C. It is specifically calibrated for reliable supervision of 3.3V power rails during brownout conditions, with ±7mV accuracy across temperature.
Does MAX16040LLA31+T support battery switchover, and what is the switchover hysteresis?
Yes, MAX16040LLA31+T supports automatic battery switchover: when VCC falls below the reset threshold and VCC is at least 40mV lower than VBATT, the internal MOSFET connects BATT to OUT. The 40mV hysteresis prevents oscillation during slow VCC decay. In battery-backup mode, MAX16040LLA31+T draws ≤2µA from BATT (at TA = +25°C), ensuring multi-year coin-cell operation.
What is the function of the RESETIN pin on MAX16040LLA31+T, and how is its threshold set?
The RESETIN pin on MAX16040LLA31+T is an auxiliary comparator input with a fixed 1.235V internal reference. When the voltage at RESETIN falls below 1.235V, MAX16040LLA31+T asserts RESET. Users set the trip point for a secondary supply (e.g., 2.5V) using an external resistor divider: VRTH = 1.235V × (R1/R2 + 1). Input bias current is ≤25nA, allowing use of MΩ-range resistors without accuracy loss.
What package type and footprint does MAX16040LLA31+T use, and are thermal pads supported?
MAX16040LLA31+T uses a 2mm × 2mm, 8-pin μDFN package with 0.5mm pin pitch and exposed thermal pad (EP). The EP must be soldered to a PCB thermal plane for optimal power dissipation and junction temperature control. Absolute maximum junction temperature is +150°C; continuous power dissipation at TA = +70°C is 380.6mW, derating 4.8mW/°C above that.
How does the power-fail comparator (PFI/PFO) operate independently of the main reset function in MAX16040LLA31+T?
The PFI/PFO comparator in MAX16040LLA31+T operates independently: PFO asserts low when PFI voltage falls below 1.235V, regardless of VCC level - providing early warning before main reset triggers. However, if VCC drops below the 3.08V reset threshold, PFO is forced low regardless of PFI state. This dual-mode behavior allows flexible system-level fault handling: PFO can drive an interrupt line while RESET handles full µP reset sequencing.
