Overview
The MAX16056ATA31+T from Analog Devices is an ultra-low-power microprocessor supervisory IC with factory-trimmed 3.075V reset threshold, capacitor-adjustable reset timeout (14.18ms typical), and integrated watchdog timer with 128× extended mode. It features push-pull RESET output, operates from 1.1V to 5.5V, draws only 125nA typical supply current, and is qualified for automotive applications from −40°C to +125°C.
For engineers reviewing the MAX16056ATA31+T datasheet, MAX16056ATA31+T pinout, MAX16056ATA31+T application, or MAX16056ATA31+T equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world timing behavior, thermal performance data, and validated alternative options - all specific to the ATA31 variant in 8-pin TDFN-EP package.
Technical Context
This device implements a precision voltage monitor with ±2.5% threshold tolerance over temperature, hysteresis of 0.5%, and guaranteed RESET validity down to VCC = 1.1V. Its internal ramp-based timing architecture uses SRT and SWT pins to set reset and watchdog timeouts via external capacitors, with sampling completed after RESET deassertion.
The watchdog circuit supports two modes: normal (tWD = Floor[CSWT × 5.15×10⁶/6.4ms] × 6.4ms + 3.2ms) and extended (×128), with WDS input selecting mode and automatic clear-on-transition. Watchdog fault detection requires a falling edge on WDI within the timeout window, with minimum pulse width of 150ns.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
MAX16056ATA31+T is housed in an 8-pin TDFN-EP package (3mm × 3mm, 0.75mm height) with exposed thermal pad (EP) that must be connected to GND for optimal thermal performance and electrical stability.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RESET | Push-pull active-low reset output | Drives low during VCC undervoltage, MR assertion, or watchdog timeout; remains low for tRP after recovery |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for all internal circuits and external capacitor connections (SRT, SWT) |
| 3 - SWT | Watchdog timeout capacitor input | Connects to GND via CSWT to set basic watchdog period; grounded to disable watchdog function |
| 4 - MR | Manual reset input | Active-low asynchronous reset trigger; no internal pullup - must be tied to VCC if unused |
| 5 - SRT | Reset timeout capacitor input | Connects to GND via CSRT to set reset assertion duration; determines tRP = 5.15×10⁶ × CSRT |
| 6 - WDI | Watchdog input | Falling-edge-triggered; must be toggled within tWD to prevent reset; minimum pulse width 150ns |
| 7 - WDS | Watchdog select input | GND = normal mode; VCC = 128× extended mode; transition clears watchdog counter |
| 8 - VCC | Power supply input | Monitored supply rail; bypass with 0.1µF ceramic capacitor to GND for noise immunity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 125nA typical supply current enables >10-year operation on CR2032 coin cell in sleep-monitoring applications |
| Capacitor-adjustable timing | SRT and SWT pins allow precise, board-level tuning of reset and watchdog periods without firmware changes |
| Watchdog capacitor open-detect | SWT < 470pF causes continuous RESET assertion - detects PCB assembly defects or missing capacitor |
| Transient immunity | Immune to 100mV VCC glitches ≤40µs duration - prevents false resets in noisy automotive environments |
| Guaranteed RESET validity | RESET output remains functional down to VCC = 1.1V - ensures robust brownout recovery before μP lockup |
