Product details
Overview
The MAX16059ATT26+T from Analog Devices is a 6-pin TDFN ultra-low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with factory-trimmed 2.625V reset threshold, capacitor-adjustable reset timeout (10.5–17.0ms), push-pull RESET output, and no watchdog timer. It monitors single-supply VCC (1.1–5.5V), asserts active-low reset on brownout or manual reset, and guarantees valid RESET down to VCC = 1.1V - used in glucose monitors and portable medical devices requiring nanoscale power management.
For engineers reviewing the MAX16059ATT26+T datasheet, MAX16059ATT26+T pinout, MAX16059ATT26+T application, or MAX16059ATT26+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 125nA typical supply current at 3.3V/25°C, -40°C to +125°C automotive temperature range, 3mm × 3mm TDFN-EP package, open-drain/push-pull output configuration, and absence of watchdog functionality compared to MAX16056/MAX16058 variants.
Technical Context
The MAX16059ATT26+T implements a precision voltage monitor with ±1.5% threshold accuracy at +25°C and ±2.5% over full temperature range, using internal bandgap reference and comparator architecture. Its reset timeout is set by external SRT capacitor (e.g., 2700pF yields 14.18ms), with ramp-current-based timing (IRAMP1 = 210–240nA) and fixed hysteresis (0.5%).
Unlike MAX16056/MAX16058, this variant omits WDI, SWT, and WDS pins - eliminating watchdog supervision entirely. The device features guaranteed RESET validity at VCC ≥ 1.1V, power-supply transient immunity up to 40µs for 100mV overdrive, and CMOS-compatible MR input with 1µs minimum pulse width and 200ns glitch rejection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Current | 125nA typ at 3.3V/25°C; enables multi-year battery life in portable medical sensors |
| Reset Threshold | 2.625V (factory-trimmed, suffix "26" per Table 1); ±2.5% tolerance over -40°C to +125°C |
| Reset Timeout | 10.5–17.0ms (with 2700pF SRT capacitor); ensures reliable µP initialization after power recovery |
| Operating Voltage | 1.1V to 5.5V; supports Li-ion, coin-cell, and low-voltage logic rails without external regulation |
| Output Type | Push-pull RESET; eliminates need for external pullup resistor in most µP interface configurations |
| Temperature Range | -40°C to +125°C; qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial embedded environments |
| VCC to RESET Delay | 80µs; fast response to supply droop prevents code corruption during transient brownouts |
Pinout & Package
MAX16059ATT26+T uses a 6-pin 3mm × 3mm TDFN-EP package with exposed pad (EP) connected to GND per datasheet recommendation. Pin 1 is RESET, Pin 2 is GND, Pin 3 is MR, Pin 4 is SRT, Pin 5 is VCC, and Pin 6 is N.C. (no connection). The EP must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RESET | Active-low reset output | Push-pull driver; sinks 50µA @ 0.3V or sources 200µA @ 0.8×VCC; asserts during VCC < 2.625V or MR low |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for all internal circuits and external capacitors (SRT, optional bypass) |
| 3 - MR | Manual reset input | CMOS-compatible active-low trigger; no internal pullup; requires external VCC tie if unused |
| 4 - SRT | Reset timeout capacitor terminal | Connects to GND via low-leakage ceramic capacitor (e.g., 2700pF X7R) to set tRP = 5.15×10⁶ × CSRT |
| 5 - VCC | Supply and monitored voltage input | Monitors own supply rail; bypass with 0.1µF ceramic capacitor to GND; operates down to 1.1V |
| 6 - N.C. | No connection | Not internally bonded; must remain unconnected on PCB; no routing or stubs allowed |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low ICC | 125nA typical supply current at 3.3V/25°C reduces quiescent drain in battery-powered glucose meters |
| Capacitor-adjustable tRP | SRT pin enables precise reset timeout tuning (39pF–4.7µF range) without firmware or component changes |
| Guaranteed RESET validity | RESET remains functional down to VCC = 1.1V - critical for brownout detection before µP lockup |
| Transient immunity | Rejects ≤40µs VCC glitches at 100mV overdrive, preventing spurious resets in noisy automotive environments |
| Factory-trimmed VTH | 2.625V threshold (suffix "26") with ±2.5% tolerance over full temperature range ensures consistent trip point |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar supervisory circuit applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX16057ATT26+T | Same 6-pin TDFN, 2.625V threshold, push-pull output, no watchdog - but differs only in top mark (ATS vs ATY) and tape/reel packaging code | Identical functional behavior; used interchangeably in production where top-mark traceability is not required | Select MAX16057ATT26+T if sourcing flexibility or alternate logistics channel is needed; same electrical and thermal specs |
| TPS3808G26DBVR | 2.63V threshold, 1.4µA ICC (vs 125nA), SOT-23-6 package, fixed 200ms reset timeout, no capacitor adjustment | Lacks adjustable reset timeout and ultra-low power; suitable for cost-sensitive industrial controls where 200ms is acceptable | Choose TPS3808G26DBVR only if nanoscale current is unnecessary and fixed timeout suffices; not drop-in due to higher ICC and different timing |
Compared with MAX16059ATT26+T, MAX16057ATT26+T offers identical performance with alternate marking, while TPS3808G26DBVR trades 11× higher supply current and fixed timeout for lower unit cost and broader distributor availability - making it viable only where battery life and timing flexibility are secondary.

FAQ
What is the factory-trimmed reset threshold voltage for MAX16059ATT26+T?
The MAX16059ATT26+T has a factory-trimmed reset threshold of 2.625V, indicated by the "26" suffix per Table 1 in the datasheet. This value is guaranteed with ±1.5% tolerance at +25°C and ±2.5% over the full -40°C to +125°C operating range. The threshold is set during wafer sort and does not require external calibration.
Does MAX16059ATT26+T include a watchdog timer function?
No, the MAX16059ATT26+T does not include a watchdog timer. It belongs to the MAX16057/MAX16059 subset, which omits WDI, SWT, and WDS pins entirely. Watchdog functionality is exclusive to MAX16056/MAX16058 variants. The MAX16059ATT26+T provides only voltage monitoring and manual reset capability.
What capacitor value sets the standard reset timeout for MAX16059ATT26+T?
A 2700pF capacitor connected between the SRT pin and GND sets the standard reset timeout of 14.18ms for MAX16059ATT26+T, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This value is derived from the formula tRP = 5.15 × 10⁶ × CSRT (with tRP in seconds and CSRT in farads), and is validated across temperature per Table 2.
Can MAX16059ATT26+T operate with a 1.2V supply voltage?
Yes, MAX16059ATT26+T operates with VCC as low as 1.1V, fully specified from 1.1V to 5.5V. At 1.2V, it maintains valid RESET assertion and deassertion, though sink/source drive strength decreases per the VOL/VOH specifications. The 125nA typical supply current is measured at VCC ≥ 1.8V, but ICC remains in the sub-µA range down to 1.1V.
What is the recommended PCB layout practice for the exposed pad (EP) on MAX16059ATT26+T?
The exposed pad (EP) on MAX16059ATT26+T must be connected to GND using multiple thermal vias (≥4, 0.3mm diameter) to an inner or bottom-layer ground plane. This ensures optimal thermal dissipation (θJC = 9°C/W) and electrical stability. Leaving EP unconnected or floating violates the Absolute Maximum Ratings and risks thermal runaway or reset instability under load.
