Product details
Overview
MAX16056ATA29+T from Analog Devices is an ultra-low-power microprocessor supervisory IC with factory-trimmed 2.925V reset threshold, 125nA typical supply current, capacitor-adjustable reset timeout (14.18ms with 2700pF), and integrated watchdog timer with 128× extended mode. It monitors single-supply VCC in battery-powered medical and portable electronics to ensure reliable power-on reset and fault recovery.
For engineers reviewing the MAX16056ATA29+T datasheet, MAX16056ATA29+T pinout, MAX16056ATA29+T application, or MAX16056ATA29+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.925V reset threshold tolerance (±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C), push-pull RESET output capable of sinking 1.2mA at VCC ≥ 2.7V, and watchdog timeout programmability via SWT capacitor with WDS input for 128× extension.
Technical Context
The MAX16056ATA29+T implements a precision bandgap-based voltage monitor with 0.5% hysteresis and guarantees valid RESET assertion down to VCC = 1.1V. Its internal ramp-compare architecture uses SRT and SWT capacitors to generate timing intervals-reset timeout tRP = 5.15 × 10⁶ × CSRT (seconds) and watchdog period tWD = Floor[CSWT × 5.15 × 10⁶ / 6.4ms] × 6.4ms + 3.2ms.
It features active-low manual reset (MR) with 1µs minimum pulse width and 250ns MR-to-RESET delay, watchdog input (WDI) with 150ns minimum pulse detection, and watchdog select (WDS) that clears the timer on any transition. The device samples SWT capacitance after RESET deassertion and disables watchdog if CSWT > 0.47µF.

Pinout & Package
MAX16056ATA29+T is housed in an 8-pin 3mm × 3mm TDFN-EP package with exposed pad (EP) connected to GND. Pin 1 is RESET, Pin 2 is GND, Pin 3 is SWT, Pin 4 is MR, Pin 5 is SRT, Pin 6 is WDS, Pin 7 is WDI, and Pin 8 is VCC. Pin 5 (N.C.) is not internally connected.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RESET | Active-low reset output | Push-pull driver asserts low during VCC brownout, MR activation, or watchdog timeout; remains low for adjustable tRP after recovery |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for all internal circuits and external capacitors (SRT, SWT) |
| 3 - SWT | Watchdog timeout capacitor input | Connects to GND via capacitor to set base watchdog period; sampled after RESET deassertion; open or short disables watchdog |
| 4 - MR | Manual reset input | Active-low asynchronous reset trigger; no internal pullup; requires external pullup if unused |
| 5 - SRT | Reset timeout capacitor input | Connects to GND via capacitor to set reset assertion duration; determines tRP per tRP = 5.15 × 10⁶ × CSRT |
| 6 - WDS | Watchdog select input | Low = normal mode (tWD); high = extended mode (tWD × 128); transition clears watchdog timer |
| 7 - WDI | Watchdog input | Falling edge resets watchdog counter; detects pulses ≥150ns; cleared by any RESET assertion |
| 8 - VCC | Power supply input | Monitored supply rail; bypass with 0.1µF ceramic capacitor to GND; supports 1.1V–5.5V operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 125nA typical enables multi-year battery life in glucose monitors and portable meters |
| Capacitor-programmable reset timeout | Adjustable tRP from ~10ms to >2s using standard ceramic capacitors (39pF–4.7µF) |
| Dual-mode watchdog timer | Normal or 128× extended timeout via WDS pin-supports both fast-fault and long-interval software supervision |
| Guaranteed RESET validity | RESET remains functional and asserted down to VCC = 1.1V, ensuring robust brownout response |
| Transient immunity | Immune to VCC glitches ≤40µs at 100mV overdrive, reducing false resets in noisy automotive environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar supervisory circuit applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX16058ATA29+T | Same 2.925V threshold and watchdog functionality, but open-drain RESET output instead of push-pull | Requires external pullup resistor; better suited for level-shifting or wired-OR reset bus configurations | Select when interfacing with mixed-voltage MCUs or shared reset lines where open-drain behavior is required |
| TLV809E29DBZR | Fixed 2.93V threshold, no watchdog, no capacitor-adjustable timeout; 350nA supply current; SOT-23-3 package | Lacks programmable timing and fault supervision; only provides basic reset on VCC drop | Choose for cost-sensitive, space-constrained designs where watchdog and adjustable tRP are unnecessary |
Compared with MAX16058ATA29+T, the MAX16056ATA29+T offers push-pull drive eliminating external components, while TLV809E29DBZR trades timing flexibility and ultra-low current for smaller footprint and lower unit cost in simple reset-only roles.

FAQ
What is the factory-trimmed reset threshold voltage for MAX16056ATA29+T?
The MAX16056ATA29+T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 2.925V (typical), with ±1.5% tolerance at +25°C and ±2.5% over the full -40°C to +125°C operating range. This value corresponds to the "29" suffix in the part number per Table 1 of the datasheet, and is laser-trimmed during production for precision.
Does MAX16056ATA29+T support watchdog timer disable functionality?
Yes, MAX16056ATA29+T supports watchdog disable by connecting the SWT pin directly to GND. When SWT is grounded, the internal watchdog sampling circuit detects zero capacitance and disables the watchdog function, preventing unintended resets while retaining full reset supervision capability.
What is the recommended capacitor value for achieving a 14.18ms reset timeout with MAX16056ATA29+T?
The MAX16056ATA29+T achieves a 14.18ms reset timeout with a 2700pF capacitor connected between the SRT pin and GND, as specified in Table 2 of the datasheet. A low-leakage X7R ceramic capacitor is recommended to maintain timing accuracy across temperature and time.
Can MAX16056ATA29+T operate reliably at VCC = 1.1V?
Yes, MAX16056ATA29+T guarantees valid RESET output functionality down to VCC = 1.1V, including proper assertion and timing behavior. Below 1.1V, RESET may become invalid; however, the device continues to draw only 7µA (typ) in reset state, supporting graceful shutdown in ultra-low-voltage scenarios.
What package type and dimensions does MAX16056ATA29+T use?
MAX16056ATA29+T uses an 8-pin TDFN-EP (Thin Dual Flat No-lead with Exposed Pad) package measuring 3mm × 3mm × 0.75mm. The exposed pad (EP) must be soldered to a GND plane for thermal and electrical performance, and the land pattern follows Analog Devices' standard 90-0059 footprint.
