Product details
Overview
MAX16059ATT32+ from Maxim Integrated is a 6-pin TDFN ultra-low-power microprocessor supervisory circuit with factory-trimmed 3.200V reset threshold, 125nA typical supply current, adjustable reset timeout (via external SRT capacitor), and no watchdog timer. It asserts an active-low push-pull RESET output during VCC brownout, manual reset, or power-up/down sequencing - deployed in glucose monitors, portable medical devices, and battery-powered metering systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX16059ATT32+ datasheet, MAX16059ATT32+ pinout, MAX16059ATT32+ application, or MAX16059ATT32+ equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world timing behavior, automotive-grade (-40°C to +125°C) thermal performance, and validated alternative options for low-power system supervision.
Technical Context
The MAX16059ATT32+ implements a precision voltage-monitoring architecture with ±2.5% reset threshold tolerance over temperature, guaranteed RESET validity down to VCC = 1.1V, and immunity to transients ≤40µs at 100mV overdrive. Its internal ramp-based timing engine uses SRT capacitor charging to generate programmable reset timeout periods from 10.5ms to 24.2s.
Unlike watchdog-equipped variants (MAX16056/MAX16058), the MAX16059ATT32+ omits WDI, WDS, and SWT pins - simplifying layout and eliminating watchdog configuration overhead while retaining MR input, push-pull RESET, and full transient immunity. It operates across 1.1V–5.5V supply range with 210nA max ICC at +125°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold Voltage | 3.200V (factory-trimmed, ±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C) - ensures reliable brownout detection for 3.3V systems with margin. |
| Supply Current (ICC) | 125nA typ @ +25°C, 400nA max @ +125°C - enables multi-year battery life in always-on medical sensors. |
| Operating Voltage Range | 1.1V to 5.5V - supports supervision of Li-ion, coin-cell, and wide-input industrial rails without external regulators. |
| Reset Timeout Range | 10.5ms to 24.2s (set by 39pF–4.7µF SRT capacitor) - accommodates µP boot times from fast MCUs to complex SoCs. |
| Reset Output Type | Push-pull active-low - drives logic directly without pull-up resistor; sinks 1.2mA @ VCC ≥ 2.7V for robust noise immunity. |
| Temperature Range | -40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial HVAC, and portable patient monitors. |
| VCC to RESET Delay | 80µs - fast response to supply collapse prevents firmware corruption during rapid power loss. |
Pinout & Package
MAX16059ATT32+ uses a 6-pin 3mm × 3mm TDFN-EP package with exposed pad (EP) for thermal enhancement. Pin 1 is RESET; pin 2 is GND; pin 3 is MR; pin 4 is SRT; pin 5 is VCC; pin 6 is NC. EP must be connected to GND per datasheet recommendation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RESET | Active-low push-pull reset output | Asserts low during brownout/manual reset; holds low for capacitor-programmed timeout; drives µP /EN or /RESET directly. |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for all internal circuits; connects to EP for optimal thermal dissipation (θJC = 9°C/W). |
| 3 - MR | Manual-reset input | CMOS-compatible active-low trigger; no internal pullup - requires external VCC tie or switch-to-GND; 1µs minimum pulse width. |
| 4 - SRT | Reset timeout capacitor terminal | Connects to GND via external capacitor (39pF–4.7µF); sets tRP = 5.15×10⁶ × CSRT (seconds); low-leakage X7R ceramic recommended. |
| 5 - VCC | Power supply and monitored rail input | Supplies device and provides voltage for threshold comparison; bypass with 0.1µF ceramic to GND; valid operation from 1.1V. |
| 6 - N.C. | No connection | Not internally bonded; must remain unconnected - no routing or solder mask required. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX16057ATT32+ | Identical pinout, package, reset threshold, and timing; same push-pull RESET; no watchdog - functionally identical part with different top mark (ATU vs ATT). | No functional difference; both rated -40°C to +125°C; both use 6-pin TDFN-EP. | Select MAX16057ATT32+ only if legacy BOM specifies that top mark; otherwise MAX16059ATT32+ is preferred due to newer revision status. |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Fixed 3.3V threshold (±0.5%), 1.6µA ICC, SOT-23-6 package; no capacitor-adjustable timeout - timeout fixed at 200ms/350ms/1.1s options. | Higher supply current limits battery life; fixed timeout lacks flexibility for diverse µP boot profiles; smaller SOT-23 footprint but higher θJA (210°C/W). | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR only for cost-sensitive, non-battery applications where 200ms reset suffices and 1.6µA ICC is acceptable. |
Compared with MAX16059ATT32+, MAX16057ATT32+ offers identical functionality with minor marking variance, while TPS3808G33DBVR trades nanoPower efficiency and timeout flexibility for lower unit cost and tighter threshold accuracy - making it suitable only for line-powered systems with fixed timing needs.
