Product details
Overview
MAX16042TP+ from Maxim Integrated is a triple-voltage supervisor and sequencer in a 20-pin TQFN package, monitoring three independent supply rails (IN1–IN3) with logic-selectable thresholds (3.3V/2.5V/1.8V/1.5V/1.2V/fixed or adjustable down to 0.5V), capacitor-adjustable timing delays per channel, and a push-pull active-low RESET output. It enables controlled power-up sequencing in multivoltage server and storage systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX16042TP+ datasheet, MAX16042TP+ pinout, MAX16042TP+ application, or MAX16042TP+ equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, validated pin functions, confirmed sequencing behavior, real-world timing equations, and direct alternative part comparisons - all specific to the MAX16042TP+ variant.
Technical Context
The MAX16042TP+ implements three independent comparator-based voltage monitors, each with dedicated EN_, CDLY_, and OUT_ terminals, enabling per-rail enable control and capacitor-set delay (via 250nA charge current into CDLYx). Threshold selection uses TH1/TH0 logic inputs to choose among nine fixed or adjustable options, while TOL selects ±5% or ±10% tolerance.
It features a push-pull RESET output that deasserts only after all three monitored voltages exceed their thresholds, with reset timeout internally fixed at ≥140ms or externally adjustable via CRESET capacitor (0.5V threshold, 500nA charge current). All outputs operate across VCC = 2.2V to 28V, and IN_/EN_/MR inputs tolerate up to (VCC + 0.3V).

| 28V-tolerant open-drain outputs | Direct interface to enable/shutdown pins of high-voltage DC-DC regulators (e.g., LM5164, TPS546D24) without level-shifting |
| Wide VCC range & temp grade | Operates from 2.2V to 28V and −40°C to +125°C - suitable for unregulated 12V/24V industrial bus and automotive battery-supplied systems |
Applications
| Server Power Sequencing | Industrial PLC Power Management |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Sequencing 3.3V, 1.8V, and 1.2V rails in a dual-CPU server motherboard during cold start. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MAX16042TP+ acts as a triple-rail supervisor, asserting OUT1/OUT2/OUT3 only after each rail exceeds its threshold with user-defined delays, then releasing RESET to boot CPU firmware. Use Value: Prevents latch-up and data corruption by enforcing strict voltage ramp order and hold times - critical for DDR4 memory initialization and PCIe link training. |
Use Scenario: Monitoring redundant 24V DC input, 5V logic, and 3.3V microcontroller supply in an IP67-rated programmable logic controller. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MAX16042TP+ serves as fault-detecting sequencer - disabling downstream converters via ENx if any input falls below threshold, while maintaining RESET assertion until all rails recover. Use Value: Enables fail-safe shutdown within <20µs propagation delay and sustains system reset for ≥140ms after recovery - meeting IEC 61508 SIL-2 functional safety requirements. |
| Telecom Line Card Supervision | Automotive ADAS Domain Controller |
Use Scenario: Supervising +12V analog front-end, +3.3V FPGA I/O, and +1.0V FPGA core supplies on a 40Gbps optical line card. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MAX16042TP+ provides rail-specific enable control (EN1–EN3) and capacitor-delayed power-up to meet SerDes lock timing windows and avoid hot-plug transients. Use Value: Eliminates need for discrete RC timers and comparators - reducing BOM count by 7 components and PCB area by >15mm² per card. |
Use Scenario: Managing power sequencing for radar SoC (1.1V), vision processor (1.8V), and CAN-FD transceiver (3.3V) in a 12V automotive domain controller. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MAX16042TP+ functions as AEC-Q100 qualified sequencer - coordinating startup with ignition signal (MR), validating all rails before releasing RESET to SoC, and tolerating load-dump transients up to 28V. Use Value: Meets ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a requirements and supports ASIL-B diagnostic coverage via independent ENx disable paths and deterministic reset timeout. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar triple-voltage supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single 3.3V supervisor with fixed threshold; no multi-rail or capacitor-adjustable delay capability | Suitable only for single-rail monitoring; lacks sequencing, ENx control, or adjustable timing | Select only when supervising one rail with no sequencing requirement and minimal footprint priority |
| ADM1266ACPZ | 16-channel PMBus-programmable sequencer; requires external EEPROM, I²C host, and firmware integration | Targeted at high-complexity systems needing dynamic reconfiguration, telemetry, and fault logging | Choose when advanced diagnostics, adaptive sequencing, or remote update capability is required - not for cost-sensitive fixed-function designs |
Compared with TPS3808G33DBVR and ADM1266ACPZ, the MAX16042TP+ uniquely balances triple-rail independence, hardware-configurable thresholds, capacitor-based timing, and zero-software overhead - making it optimal for deterministic, compact, and production-ready multivoltage sequencing without microcontroller dependency.

FAQ
What is the exact pin count and package type of the MAX16042TP+?
The MAX16042TP+ uses a 20-pin, 4mm × 4mm thin QFN (TQFN) package with 0.5mm pitch and an exposed thermal pad connected to GND. This matches the ordering code T2044-3 and is distinct from the 16-pin MAX16041TE+ and 24-pin MAX16043TG+ variants in the same family.
Does the MAX16042TP+ support adjustable voltage thresholds below 1.2V?
Yes, the MAX16042TP+ supports adjustable thresholds down to 0.5V (typical) when configured with TOL = GND. This is achieved via internal reference and external resistive divider on IN1–IN3, enabling precise supervision of sub-1V FPGA core or ASIC supplies.
How does the MAX16042TP+ generate its reset timeout period?
The MAX16042TP+ offers two reset timeout modes: fixed ≥140ms (by connecting CRESET to VCC) or capacitor-adjustable (by connecting CRESET to GND). The timeout is calculated as tRP = (0.5V / 500nA) + CCRESET × 30µs, where CCRESET is in farads - enabling accurate, low-cost adjustment from ~140ms to seconds.
Can the MAX16042TP+ monitor three different voltage levels simultaneously?
Yes, the MAX16042TP+ independently monitors IN1, IN2, and IN3 with individually configurable thresholds (via TH1/TH0), enable controls (EN1–EN3), and delay timings (CDLY1–CDLY3). Each channel operates autonomously, supporting mixed-rail systems like 3.3V/1.8V/1.2V or 12V/5V/3.3V.
What is the maximum sink current capability of the MAX16042TP+ open-drain outputs?
The MAX16042TP+ open-drain outputs (OUT1–OUT3) guarantee ≤0.3V saturation voltage with ≥90µA sink current at VCC ≥ 1.2V, ≤0.3V at 0.5mA sink for VCC ≥ 2.25V, and ≤0.35V at 1mA sink for VCC ≥ 4.5V - enabling direct drive of enable inputs on most DC-DC regulators.
