Product details
Overview
MAX42500ATEDA+ from Analog Devices is a SIL 3-certified system-on-chip power system monitor with seven voltage monitoring inputs (five single-ended, two differential with remote ground sense), programmable OV/UV thresholds (±1.3% accuracy over –40°C to +125°C), flexible power sequence recorder (FPSR), and challenge/response windowed watchdog-all accessible via I²C. It serves as a centralized safety-critical supervisory IC in industrial power rails and SoC supply monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the MAX42500ATEDA+ datasheet, MAX42500ATEDA+ pinout, MAX42500ATEDA+ application, or MAX42500ATEDA+ equivalent, key selection considerations include IEC 61508 SIL 3 certification, differential DVS tracking capability on IN6P/IN7P, programmable FPSR timestamp resolution (25–3200 µs/tick), and CRC-protected I²C interface with PEC support.
Technical Context
The MAX42500ATEDA+ integrates three core subsystems: a 7-channel voltage monitor (with factory-trimmed ±1.3% OV/UV accuracy across full temperature range), a flexible power sequence recorder triggered by EN0/EN1 level transitions, and a configurable challenge/response windowed watchdog featuring extended first-update window for MCU boot sequences.
Its I²C interface operates up to 1.1 MHz with programmable 7-bit address (0x28–0x2B), CRC-8 packet error checking (SMBus 3.0), and no clock stretching. The differential monitors IN6P/IN7P share INM for remote ground sensing and support dynamic voltage scaling via independent OV/UV setpoints referenced to INM.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 2.35V to 5.50V - supports direct connection to common industrial rail voltages without external regulators. |
| Operating Current | 150 µA typical - enables low-power continuous supervision in always-on systems. |
| Power-Down Current | 8 µA - allows deep sleep mode during system standby while retaining configuration. |
| OV/UV Threshold Accuracy | ±1.3% (–40°C to +125°C) - ensures reliable fault detection under extreme industrial ambient conditions. |
| I²C Clock Frequency | Up to 1.1 MHz - enables fast register access and real-time fault response in time-critical applications. |
| FPSR Timestamp Resolution | 25 µs to 3200 µs per tick - configurable timing granularity for precise power-up/down sequence validation. |
| Watchdog First-Update Window | Configurable extension - accommodates variable-length MCU boot sequences before requiring first refresh. |
Pinout & Package
MAX42500ATEDA+ is housed in a 16-pin TQFN package (3mm × 3mm, exposed pad), optimized for thermal performance (θJA = 44.5°C/W) and high-density industrial PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN1–IN4 | Single-ended voltage monitor inputs | Monitor fixed-rail supplies (0.5V–3.6875V); each supports independent ±2.5% to ±10% OV/UV thresholds. |
| IN5 | Extended-range single-ended input | Supports 0.5V–5.5V rails (e.g., 5V logic or analog supplies) with same OV/UV programmability. |
| IN6P / IN7P | Differential voltage monitor inputs | Track dynamically scaled SoC cores; require INM reference for remote ground sensing to reject ground bounce. |
| INM | Common negative input | Shared reference for IN6P/IN7P; must be routed separately to point near monitored rail for accurate DVS tracking. |
| EN0 / EN1 | Enable state transition inputs | Trigger FPSR recording on rising/falling edges-EN0 for ON/OFF, EN1 for SLEEP/ON (configurable). |
| RESET | Open-drain fault output | Asserts low on any monitored fault; programmable mapping to specific input channels or combined events. |
| ADDR | I²C address select | Sets LSBs of 7-bit address (0x28–0x2B) via GND/VDD tie-off or 100kΩ resistor. |
| SDA / SCL | I²C bidirectional data/clock | Support SMBus 3.0 features including PEC; require external pull-ups (>500Ω) for open-drain operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| IEC 61508 SIL 3 certification | Validated for safety-critical industrial functions up to SIL 3, enabling use in functional safety architectures without additional hardware redundancy. |
| Differential DVS monitoring (IN6P/IN7P) | Enables continuous voltage supervision during processor core voltage ramping-no blind spots during dynamic scaling transitions. |
| Flexible Power Sequence Recorder (FPSR) | Records separate timestamps for power-up and power-down events on enabled rails, with user-selectable tick rate and automatic flagging of missed sequences. |
| Challenge/response watchdog | Uses LFSR-based key derivation (x⁸+x⁶+x⁵+x⁴+1) to prevent spurious or malicious watchdog resets-critical for secure MCU supervision. |
| CRC-8 packet error checking (PEC) | Provides end-to-end integrity verification on I²C reads/writes, detecting bit errors caused by EMI in noisy industrial environments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar power system monitor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX16050ATL+ | 5-input, non-SIL-certified, no FPSR or DVS support; ±1.5% threshold accuracy at +85°C only. | Limited to non-safety-rated systems; cannot replace MAX42500ATEDA+ in SIL 3 designs or DVS scenarios. | Select only for cost-sensitive, non-certified applications where sequencing and differential monitoring are unnecessary. |
| TPS389033DSER | 3-input, no I²C, no programmable thresholds; fixed 3.3V UV/OV detection with 200ms reset timeout. | Basic reset generator only-lacks voltage monitoring flexibility, sequencing, or watchdog functionality. | Use only as simple power-on reset IC; not a functional alternative for system-level supervision. |
Compared with MAX16050ATL+ and TPS389033DSER, the MAX42500ATEDA+ uniquely delivers SIL 3 certification, seven-channel programmable monitoring with DVS support, FPSR-based sequence validation, and challenge/response watchdog-making it the sole option for integrated, safety-compliant industrial power supervision.

FAQ
What safety certifications does the MAX42500ATEDA+ hold?
The MAX42500ATEDA+ is IEC 61508 SIL 3 certified, with documentation and failure-in-time (FIT) data provided in the official Analog Devices safety manual. This certification covers the entire device functionality-including voltage monitoring, FPSR, watchdog, and I²C interface-enabling its use in safety instrumented systems (SIS) up to SIL 3. No external components are required to achieve this rating, as all diagnostics and redundancy are implemented on-die within the MAX42500ATEDA+.
How does the MAX42500ATEDA+ support dynamic voltage scaling (DVS)?
The MAX42500ATEDA+ supports DVS exclusively through its two differential inputs IN6P and IN7P, which share the INM remote ground-sense pin. Unlike single-ended inputs, these channels allow independent programming of OV and UV thresholds relative to INM-enabling continuous monitoring during voltage ramps. The MAX42500ATEDA+ provides documented I²C command sequences (low-to-high and high-to-low) to reconfigure thresholds in sync with power supply commands, preventing false faults during transitions.
What is the function of the FPSR in the MAX42500ATEDA+?
The Flexible Power Sequence Recorder (FPSR) in the MAX42500ATEDA+ captures timestamped power-up and power-down events for all enabled voltage monitors, triggered by transitions on EN0 (mandatory) and optionally EN1. It records 8-bit timestamps with user-configurable resolution (25–3200 µs/tick), stores separate sequences for up/down events, and flags anomalies like overlapping sequences. Data remains latched until manually cleared, allowing host MCUs to retrieve validated sequencing history via I²C after fault analysis.
Can the MAX42500ATEDA+ watchdog operate without I²C communication?
No-the MAX42500ATEDA+ watchdog requires I²C interaction for initialization, configuration, and refresh. Even in simple windowed mode, the WDKEY register must be written to reset the timer; in challenge/response mode, the host must read the key, compute the LFSR response, and write it back. There is no autonomous or pin-triggered watchdog reset mechanism-the I²C interface is mandatory for all watchdog operations in the MAX42500ATEDA+.
What are the absolute maximum ratings for the INM pin on the MAX42500ATEDA+?
The INM pin on the MAX42500ATEDA+ has an absolute maximum rating of –0.3V to +0.3V relative to GND. Exceeding this range risks damage to the internal differential comparators for IN6P and IN7P. In practice, INM should be connected to a clean local ground reference near the monitored rail's return path-not to the main system ground plane-to maintain accuracy during high-current transients. This specification is explicitly defined in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the MAX42500ATEDA+ datasheet.
