Product details
Overview
MAX16061ETP+ from Maxim Integrated is a 1% accurate, hex-voltage microprocessor supervisor IC in a 20-pin thin QFN (4mm × 4mm) package, designed for multivoltage system monitoring. It monitors six independent supply rails (e.g., 3.3V, 2.5V, 1.8V, and adjustable down to 0.394V), provides six open-drain voltage-monitor outputs with internal 30µA pullups, and features a 140ms minimum reset timeout with capacitor adjustment capability. It is used in server power sequencing, telecom equipment supervision, and automotive infotainment power integrity verification.
For engineers reviewing the MAX16061ETP+ datasheet, MAX16061ETP+ pinout, MAX16061ETP+ application, or MAX16061ETP+ equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world use cases, and validated alternative options - all grounded in Maxim's official specifications for the MAX16061 family and confirmed for the ETP+ variant.
Technical Context
The MAX16061ETP+ implements six independent voltage comparators with 1% threshold accuracy over –40°C to +125°C, each feeding an open-drain output with internal 30µA pullup. Its RESET output asserts low when any monitored voltage falls below its threshold or MR is pulled low, remaining asserted for ≥140ms after recovery and MR deassertion.
It integrates a watchdog timer with 1.6s typical timeout and 54s startup delay, disabled by leaving WDI floating; a tolerance-select pin (TOL) configures thresholds to ±5% or ±10%; and a MARGIN input forces all outputs high during margin testing - enabling precise validation of supply rail stability under controlled stress conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Monitored Voltages | Six independent inputs (IN1–IN6), supporting fixed (3.3V/2.5V/1.8V) and adjustable (down to 0.394V) thresholds |
| Threshold Accuracy | ±1% over full temperature range (–40°C to +125°C), enabling reliable brownout detection without calibration |
| Reset Timeout | Internally fixed ≥140ms minimum or externally adjustable via SRT capacitor (e.g., 1500pF → ~3.09ms) |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6s typical (1.12s–2.40s min/max), with 54s startup delay - prevents premature reset during boot |
| Supply Range | VCC = 1.0V to 5.5V; guaranteed RESET assertion down to VCC = 1V - supports ultra-low-power wake-up supervision |
| Output Type | Six open-drain OUT_ pins + active-low RESET, each with internal 30µA pullup - eliminates six external resistors |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +125°C industrial/automotive grade - qualified for under-hood and base station environments |
Pinout & Package
MAX16061ETP+ uses a 20-pin thin QFN package (4mm × 4mm, exposed pad), RoHS-compliant and lead-free (+ suffix). The exposed pad (EP) is internally connected to GND and must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal management.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1–3 | IN4, IN5, IN6 | Monitor inputs for third–sixth supply rails; accept fixed or adjustable thresholds (0.394V min) |
| 4 | WDI | Watchdog timer input; floating disables timer; edge-triggered reset clear; ≤200nA leakage tolerance |
| 5 | GND | Power and signal reference ground; EP tied internally to this node |
| 6 | VCC | Unmonitored bias supply (1.0V–5.5V); powers internal circuitry and sources internal pullups |
| 7–9 | OUT4, OUT5, OUT6 | Open-drain outputs asserting low on undervoltage; 30µA internal pullup to VCC; drive up to 5.5V externally |
| 10 | MR | Active-low manual reset input; 20kΩ internal pullup; 1µs minimum pulse width; 200ns glitch rejection |
| 11 | SRT | Reset timeout timing input; connect capacitor to GND for adjustable delay; connect to VCC for 140ms min |
| 12 | MARGIN | Active-low margin enable; forces all OUT_ and RESET high during test - isolates monitoring during stress |
| 13–15 | OUT3, OUT2, OUT1 | Open-drain outputs for IN3–IN1; identical electrical behavior to OUT4–OUT6 |
| 16 | RESET | Active-low system reset output; asserts if any IN_ fails or MR is pulled low; same 30µA internal pullup |
| 17–19 | IN1, IN2, IN3 | Monitor inputs for first–third supply rails; support factory-preset (e.g., 3.3V/2.5V/1.8V) or adjustable thresholds |
| 20 | TOL | Threshold tolerance select: GND = ±5%, VCC = ±10% - sets hysteresis and accuracy mode per input |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 1% threshold accuracy over temperature | Enables single-supervisor replacement of multiple discrete monitors in high-reliability systems without derating |
| Internal 30µA pullups on all outputs | Eliminates six external pullup resistors and associated board space - reduces BOM count and layout complexity |
| Capacitor-adjustable reset timeout | Supports system-specific reset hold times (e.g., FPGA configuration, DDR initialization) without firmware changes |
| Watchdog with 54s startup delay | Prevents false timeout during long-boot processors (e.g., ARM Cortex-A series, SoCs) before watchdog activation |
| MARGIN input for test-mode override | Allows safe deassertion of all outputs during voltage margining - avoids unintended system resets during validation |
| Adjustable thresholds down to 0.394V | Supports monitoring of modern sub-1V core supplies (e.g., AI accelerators, LPDDR4/5 VDDQ) using external dividers |
Applications
| Server Power Sequencing | Telecom Base Station Supervision |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar hex-voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3307-18-33-25 | Three separate dual-supervisors in one package; fixed 1.8V/3.3V/2.5V thresholds only; no adjustable inputs or watchdog | Lacks adjustable thresholds (<0.4V) and watchdog - unsuitable for sub-1V core monitoring or fail-safe timing | Choose for cost-sensitive, fixed-threshold-only designs where six-rail coverage is acceptable via cascaded logic |
| ADM1266 | 12-channel sequencer/supervisor with I²C interface, programmable timing, and black-box logging; requires external MCU | Software-configurable but adds firmware dependency and BOM complexity - not drop-in compatible | Choose when advanced sequencing, fault logging, or dynamic reconfiguration is required beyond basic supervision |
Compared with TPS3307-18-33-25 and ADM1266, MAX16061ETP+ delivers standalone, pin-defined hex supervision with 1% accuracy, adjustable thresholds, and integrated watchdog - offering higher integration and lower system-level design effort for deterministic, self-contained power monitoring.

FAQ
What is the exact pin count and package type of MAX16061ETP+?
MAX16061ETP+ is housed in a 20-pin thin QFN package measuring 4mm × 4mm with an exposed pad (EP). This RoHS-compliant, lead-free package is designated "TP" in Maxim's ordering nomenclature and is fully specified from –40°C to +125°C. The exposed pad must be soldered to the PCB ground plane for thermal performance.
Does MAX16061ETP+ support monitoring of sub-1V supply rails?
Yes, MAX16061ETP+ supports monitoring down to 0.394V (at TOL = GND) on its adjustable inputs (e.g., IN3, IN4, IN5, IN6 depending on variant). When paired with an external resistor divider, it can supervise modern low-voltage rails such as 0.85V GPU cores or 0.6V AI accelerator supplies - confirmed by Maxim's Table 1 and electrical characteristics.
How is the reset timeout configured on MAX16061ETP+?
MAX16061ETP+ offers two reset timeout modes: a fixed minimum of 140ms (achieved by connecting SRT pin to VCC), or a user-adjustable timeout (from ~0.2ms to >100ms) set by an external capacitor between SRT and GND. The formula is tRP ≈ 2.06 × 10⁶ × CSRT, validated across temperature in Maxim's typical operating characteristics.
Can MAX16061ETP+ be used without an external watchdog clock source?
Yes - MAX16061ETP+ watchdog functionality is disabled by default when the WDI pin is left unconnected. Its internal 400nA detector recognizes the floating state, eliminating the need for pullup/pulldown resistors. This makes MAX16061ETP+ suitable for systems where watchdog supervision is optional or handled externally.
What is the purpose of the MARGIN pin on MAX16061ETP+?
The MARGIN pin on MAX16061ETP+ is an active-low input that forces all six OUT_ outputs and the RESET output into a high (deasserted) state - regardless of input voltage conditions. This enables safe margin testing of power supplies without triggering system resets, and is electrically validated with 50µs response time in Maxim's datasheet.
