Low-Power µP Supervisory Circuits with
Battery-Backup Circuit and Chip-Enable Gating
/MAX6021
General Description
Features
o System Monitoring for 5V, 3.3V, 3V, 2.5V, or 1.8V
The MAX16016/MAX16020/MAX16021 supervisory cir-
cuits monitor power supplies, provide battery-backup
control, and chip-enable (CE) gating to write protect
memory in microprocessor (µP)-based systems. These
low-power devices improve system reliability by providing
several supervisory functions in a small, single integrated
solution.
Power-Supply Voltages
o 1.53V to 5.5V Operating Voltage Range
o Low 1.2µA Supply Current (0.25µA in Battery-
Backup Mode)
o 145ms (min) Reset Timeout Period
o Battery Freshness Seal
The MAX16016/MAX16020/MAX16021 perform four
basic system functions:
o On-Board Gating of CE Signals, 1.5ns
Propagation Delay (MAX16020/MAX16021)
1) Provide a µP reset output during V
supply power-
CC
o Debounced Manual Reset Input
o Watchdog Timer, 1.2s (typ) Timeout
up, power-down, and brownout conditions.
2) Control V to battery-backup switching internally
CC
o Power-Fail Comparator and Low-Line Indicator for
to maintain data or low-power operation for memo-
ries, real-time clocks (RTCs), and other digital logic
when the main power is removed.
Monitoring Voltages Down to 0.6V
o Battery-On, Battery-OK, and Battery Test
Indicators
3) Provide memory write protection through internal
chip-enable gating during brownout.
o Small 10-Pin TDFN or 16-Pin TQFN Packages
o UL -Certified to Conform to IEC 60950-1
®
4) Provide a combination of additional supervisory
functions listed in the Features section.
Ordering Information
The MAX16016/MAX16020/MAX16021 operate from a
1.53V to 5.5V supply voltage and offer fixed reset
thresholds for monitoring 5V, 3.3V, 3V, 2.5V, and 1.8V
systems. Each device is available with either a push-
pull or open-drain reset output.
