Product details
Overview
MAX8216CPD from Maxim Integrated is a precision quad +5V/−5V/+15V/−15V dedicated voltage monitor IC with one auxiliary comparator, open-drain outputs, built-in hysteresis, and internal 1.24V reference (±1% initial accuracy). It operates from 2.7V to 11V supply, draws ≤250µA over temperature, and targets microprocessor reset and multi-rail power supervision in industrial controllers and portable instruments.
For engineers reviewing the MAX8216CPD datasheet, MAX8216CPD pinout, MAX8216CPD application, or MAX8216CPD equivalent, key selection criteria include ±15V trip level accuracy (±1.5%), auxiliary comparator programmability for overvoltage/undervoltage detection, open-drain output compatibility with wire-OR logic, and PDIP-14 package suitability for prototyping and legacy industrial PCBs.
Technical Context
The MAX8216CPD integrates five comparators: four fixed-threshold comparators for +5V (±1.25% accuracy), −5V, +15V, and −15V (all ±1.5% accuracy), plus one auxiliary comparator with externally accessible noninverting input (DIN) and internal reference-connected inverting input. All outputs are open-drain, requiring external pull-ups.
Hysteresis is fully integrated-no external resistors needed-and provides 1.25–2.25% threshold hysteresis depending on rail. The internal 1.24V reference exhibits ±1% initial accuracy, <15ppm/°C tempco, and stable regulation down to VDD = 2.85V, enabling accurate trip-point derivation across temperature and supply variation.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage monitor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX8215CPD | Monitors ±12V instead of ±15V; identical pinout, reference, and comparator architecture | Suitable only where ±12V rails replace ±15V; not interchangeable without board-level voltage scaling | Select MAX8215CPD only for legacy ±12V systems; MAX8216CPD required for true ±15V monitoring |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single-channel 3.3V supervisor with adjustable delay; no multi-rail or ±15V capability; SOT-23-6 package | Lacks dedicated negative-rail monitoring and auxiliary comparator; intended for single-rail microcontroller reset only | Use TPS3808G33DBVR only for cost-sensitive, space-constrained 3.3V-only applications; not a functional substitute |
Compared with MAX8215CPD, MAX8216CPD provides higher positive/negative trip points essential for ±15V analog subsystems, while TPS3808G33DBVR offers lower cost and footprint but sacrifices rail count, polarity support, and programmability-making it unsuitable for direct replacement in multi-supply monitoring.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for MAX8216CPD?
The MAX8216CPD is specified for 0°C to +70°C ambient operation (Commercial grade). Its electrical characteristics-including ±15V trip accuracy, 1.24V reference stability, and 250µA max supply current-are guaranteed across this full range. For extended temperature applications, consider MAX8216EPD (−40°C to +85°C) or MAX8216MPD (−55°C to +125°C).
How does the auxiliary comparator in MAX8216CPD differ from the dedicated comparators?
The MAX8216CPD auxiliary comparator (DIN/DOUT) features an externally accessible noninverting input and internally tied inverting input to the 1.24V reference, enabling programmable overvoltage/undervoltage detection via resistor dividers. In contrast, the four dedicated comparators have fixed internal thresholds for +5V, −5V, +15V, and −15V rails and no external input flexibility.
Can MAX8216CPD monitor its own VDD supply?
Yes, the MAX8216CPD can monitor its own VDD supply using the +5V comparator (if VDD ≈ +5V) or the auxiliary comparator with a resistor divider. Figure 4 in the datasheet shows a validated circuit where the +5V comparator detects VDD undervoltage and the auxiliary comparator detects VDD overvoltage-both functioning reliably down to VDD = 0.8V.
What pull-up resistor value is recommended for MAX8216CPD open-drain outputs?
Maxim recommends ≥2.7kΩ pull-up resistors when pulled to VDD, but higher values (e.g., 100kΩ) are preferred to minimize supply current and reduce susceptibility to oscillation. Values below 2.7kΩ increase sink current demand and may destabilize the auxiliary comparator; always verify stability with layout and load conditions.
Is MAX8216CPD pin-compatible with MAX8215CPD?
Yes, MAX8216CPD is pin-compatible with MAX8215CPD in the same package (e.g., PDIP-14). Pin functions, supply requirements, reference output, and output drive characteristics are identical-the only difference is the internal trip thresholds for Pins 5/6 (+12V/−12V in MAX8215 vs. +15V/−15V in MAX8216), requiring no PCB change but verification of rail voltages.
