Product details
Overview
MAX16055GAUB+ from Maxim Integrated is a precision hex voltage microprocessor (µP) supervisory circuit that monitors up to six system supply voltages-including 3.3V, 2.5V, and adjustable inputs-and asserts a single active-low open-drain RESET when any falls below its preset threshold. It operates from IN1 (1.0V–5.5V), features factory-trimmed thresholds with ±5% or ±10% tolerance options, and delivers a fixed 140ms (min) reset timeout. Used in automotive-grade servers and industrial controllers for reliable power-on reset sequencing.
For engineers reviewing the MAX16055GAUB+ datasheet, MAX16055GAUB+ pinout, MAX16055GAUB+ application, or MAX16055GAUB+ equivalent, key selection considerations include its 10-pin µMAX package, dual-voltage validity (RESET valid if IN1 ≥1V or IN2 ≥1V), 70µA internal RESET pullup, and immunity to short supply transients-critical for robust embedded power monitoring.
Technical Context
The MAX16055GAUB+ integrates six independent voltage comparators with a shared precision bandgap reference and internal resistor-divider networks for factory-set thresholds (3.3V, 2.5V, etc.), plus adjustable inputs referenced to a 0.5V internal threshold. Its TOL pin selects between −5% and −10% nominal tolerance, and MR provides manual reset with 20kΩ internal pullup to IN1.
RESET assertion is synchronized across all monitored rails: it remains low for ≥140ms after the last input rises above its threshold + hysteresis (0.3% VTH), and the output stays valid as long as IN1 or IN2 exceeds 1.0V-enabling operation during brown-out conditions where only one rail remains active.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operating Voltage Range | IN1 = 1.0V to 5.5V - powers device and serves as primary monitored rail; enables use in ultra-low-voltage systems down to 1V logic domains. |
| Reset Timeout Period | 140ms (min) - ensures sufficient hold time for CPU initialization and peripheral stabilization before release. |
| Threshold Accuracy | ±1.5% for adjustable inputs; ±0.5% typical for factory-set 3.3V/2.5V - guarantees precise undervoltage detection without external calibration. |
| RESET Output Type | Active-low open-drain with 70µA internal pullup to IN1 - eliminates need for external pullup in same-rail interfacing; supports mixed-voltage logic via external pullup. |
| Temperature Range | −40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial control, and high-reliability server applications. |
| Input Hysteresis | 0.3% of VTH - suppresses false resets caused by noise or ripple on monitored supplies without degrading threshold accuracy. |
| Supply Transient Immunity | Immune to transients ≤100ns at ≥50mV overdrive - prevents spurious resets during switching noise or ESD events. |
Pinout & Package
The MAX16055GAUB+ is housed in a 10-pin µMAX® package (3mm × 3mm, 0.5mm pitch), optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts in telecom and automotive modules.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN1) | Power supply input & monitored rail | Primary power source for IC; also monitored; must be ≥1V to keep RESET valid; requires 0.1µF bypass capacitor. |
| 2 (IN2) | Monitored voltage input | Second monitored rail; RESET remains valid if IN2 ≥1V even if IN1 drops out; supports factory-set or adjustable threshold. |
| 3–6 (IN3–IN6) | Monitored voltage inputs | Four additional supply rails; configured per Selector Guide (e.g., MAX16055G = IN3/IN4/IN5/IN6 all adjustable); unused inputs must be tied to >VTH. |
| 7 (TOL) | Tolerance select input | Logic-controlled selection of −5% (TOL = GND) or −10% (TOL = IN1) threshold deviation; must not float. |
| 8 (MR) | Manual reset input | Active-low; internally pulled up to IN1 (20kΩ); asserts RESET immediately and holds for full timeout after release. |
| 9 (RESET) | Reset output | Open-drain, active-low; weak 70µA internal pullup to IN1; sinks ≥2mA at 0.3V; compatible with 0–5.5V external pullup rails. |
| 10 (GND) | Ground reference | Common return for all analog and digital functions; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision factory-set thresholds | Supports 3.3V, 2.5V, 1.8V, 1.5V, 1.2V, 1.1V, 1.0V, and 0.9V rails with ±5%/±10% tolerance - eliminates external resistors and calibration for standard supply monitoring. |
| Adjustable threshold capability | Five configurable inputs (e.g., MAX16055G) with 0.5V internal reference and 1.5% accuracy - enables monitoring of custom or nonstandard voltages (e.g., 0.85V core rails) using simple resistor dividers. |
| Dual-rail RESET validity | RESET remains asserted and valid as long as IN1 ≥1V OR IN2 ≥1V - ensures reliable reset signaling during asymmetric power sequencing or partial brown-out. |
| Transient-immune comparator design | Internal 0.3% hysteresis and validated immunity to ≤100ns supply glitches - prevents false resets in noisy switch-mode power supply environments. |
| Ultra-small footprint | 10-pin µMAX (3mm × 3mm) package - reduces board area by >40% vs. discrete solutions or larger supervisors, ideal for compact SSDs and network interface cards. |

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range for the MAX16055GAUB+?
The MAX16055GAUB+ operates from IN1 = 1.0V to 5.5V, which serves both as the device's power supply and as the primary monitored rail. This wide input range allows the MAX16055GAUB+ to function in ultra-low-voltage systems such as 1.2V or 1.0V core domains while maintaining full supervisory functionality and RESET validity as long as IN1 or IN2 remains ≥1V.
How does the TOL pin affect threshold settings on the MAX16055GAUB+?
The TOL pin on the MAX16055GAUB+ selects between two factory-trimmed tolerance options: connecting TOL to GND sets all thresholds to −5% of nominal (e.g., 3.15V for a 3.3V rail), while connecting TOL to IN1 sets them to −10% (e.g., 2.97V). The MAX16055GAUB+ variant uses this configuration to support precise undervoltage detection aligned with system-level margin requirements, and TOL must never be left floating.
Can the MAX16055GAUB+ monitor voltages lower than 1.0V?
Yes-the MAX16055GAUB+ supports monitoring down to 0.5V on its adjustable inputs (IN2–IN6, depending on variant). Using an external resistor divider referenced to the internal 0.5V threshold, users can configure detection for sub-1.0V rails like 0.85V FPGA cores or 0.75V AI accelerator supplies. The MAX16055GAUB+ achieves 1.5% accuracy on these adjustable thresholds across −40°C to +125°C.
What is the purpose of the internal 70µA pullup on the RESET pin of the MAX16055GAUB+?
The internal 70µA pullup on the MAX16055GAUB+ RESET pin eliminates the need for an external pullup resistor when interfacing with logic operating at the same voltage as IN1. This simplifies schematic design and reduces component count. When interfacing with different logic rails (e.g., 1.8V or 5V), an external pullup is required-and the MAX16055GAUB+ internal circuitry prevents reverse current flow from that external rail into the RESET driver.
Does the MAX16055GAUB+ require external components for basic operation?
For basic operation, the MAX16055GAUB+ requires only a 0.1µF bypass capacitor from IN1 to GND. No external resistors are needed for factory-set thresholds. Adjustable inputs require external resistor dividers, and MR may need a 0.1µF capacitor to ground for noise immunity in electrically noisy environments-but these are application-dependent, not mandatory for core functionality of the MAX16055GAUB+.
