The MAX16060/MAX16061/MAX16062 are 1% accurate,
quad-/hex-/octal-voltage µP supervisors in a small thin
QFN package. These devices provide supervisory functions for complex multivoltage systems. The MAX16060
monitors four voltages, the MAX16061 monitors six voltages, and the MAX16062 monitors eight voltages.
These devices offer independent outputs for each monitored voltage along with a reset output that asserts
whenever any of the monitored voltages fall below their
respective thresholds (down to 0.4V) or the manual
reset input is asserted. The reset output remains asserted for the reset timeout after all voltages are above their
respective thresholds and the manual reset input is
deasserted. The minimum reset timeout is internally set
to 140ms or can be adjusted with an external capacitor.
All open-drain outputs have internal 30µA pullups that
eliminate the need for external pullup resistors.
However, each output can be driven with an external
voltage up to 5.5V. Other features offered include a
manual reset input, a tolerance pin for selecting 5% or
10% input thresholds, and a margin enable function for
deasserting the outputs during margin testing.
An additional feature is a watchdog timer that asserts
RESET when the watchdog timeout period (1.6s typ) is
exceeded. The watchdog timer can be disabled by
leaving WDI unconnected.
These devices are offered in 16-, 20-, and 24-pin thin
QFN packages (4mm x 4mm) and are fully specified
from -40°C to +125°C.

140ms or can be adjusted with an external capacitor.
All open-drain outputs have internal 30µA pullups that
eliminate the need for external pullup resistors.
However, each output can be driven with an external
voltage up to 5.5V. Other features offered include a
manual reset input, a tolerance pin for selecting 5% or
10% input thresholds, and a margin enable function for
deasserting the outputs during margin testing.
An additional feature is a watchdog timer that asserts
RESET when the watchdog timeout period (1.6s typ) is
exceeded. The watchdog timer can be disabled by
leaving WDI unconnected.
Applications Information
Undervoltage-Detection Circuit
The open-drain outputs of the MAX16060/
MAX16061/MAX16062 can be configured to detect an
undervoltage condition. Figure 4 shows a configuration
where an LED turns on when the comparator output is
low, indicating an undervoltage condition. These
devices can also be used in applications such as system supervisory monitoring, multivoltage level detection,
and VCCbar-graph monitoring (Figure 5).
Tolerance (TOL)
The MAX16060/MAX16061/MAX16062 feature a pinselectable threshold tolerance. Connect TOL to GND to
select 5% threshold tolerance. Connect TOL to VCCto
select 10% threshold tolerance.
Window Detection
A window detector circuit uses two inputs in the configuration shown in Figure 6. External resistors set the two
threshold voltages of the window detector circuit.
External logic gates create the OUT signal. The window
detection width is the difference between the threshold
voltages (Figure 7).
Figure 4. Quad Undervoltage Detector with LED Indicators
These devices offer several monitor options with
adjustable input thresholds (see Table 1). The threshold
voltage at each adjustable IN_ input is typically 0.394V
(TOL = GND) or 0.373V (TOL = VCC). To monitor a voltage V
INTH
, connect a resistive-divider network to the cir-
cuit as shown in Figure 8.
V
INTH
= VTH((R1/R2) + 1)
R1 = R2 ((V
INTH/VTH
) - 1)
Large resistors can be used to minimize current through
the external resistors. For greater accuracy, use lowervalue resistors.
Unused Inputs
Connect any unused IN_ inputs to a voltage above its
threshold.
OUT_
Outputs
The OUT_ outputs go low when their respective IN_
inputs drop below their specified thresholds. The output
is open drain with a 30µA internal pullup to VCC. For
many applications, no external pullup resistor is required
to interface with other logic devices. An external pullup
resistor to any voltage from 0 to 5.5V overrides the internal pullup if interfacing to different logic supply voltages.
Internal circuitry prevents reverse current flow from the
external pullup voltage to V

RESET asserts low when any of the monitored voltages
fall below their respective thresholds or MR is asserted.
RESET remains asserted for the reset timeout period
after all monitored voltages exceed their respective
thresholds and MR is deasserted (see Figure 10). This
open-drain output has a 30µA internal pullup. An external
pullup resistor to any voltage from 0 to 5.5V overrides the
internal pullup if interfacing to different logic supply voltages. Internal circuitry prevents reverse current flow from
the external pullup voltage to VCC(Figure 9).
Reset Timeout Capacitor
The reset timeout period can be adjusted to accommodate a variety of µP applications. Adjust the reset timeout period (tRP) by connecting a capacitor (C
SRT
)
between SRT and GND. Calculate the reset timeout
capacitor as follows:
Connect SRT to VCCfor a factory-programmed reset
timeout of 140ms (min).
Manual Reset Input (MR)
Many µP-based products require manual reset capability, allowing the operator, a test technician, or external
logic circuitry to initiate a reset. A logic-low on MR
asserts RESET low. RESET remains asserted while MR
is low, and during the reset timeout period (140ms min)
after MR returns high. The MR input has an internal
20kΩ pullup resistor to VCC, so it can be left unconnected if not used. MR can be driven with TTL or
CMOS-logic levels, or with open-drain/collector outputs.
Connect a normally open momentary switch from MR to
GND to create a manual reset function. External
debounce circuitry is not required. If MR is driven from
long cables or if the device is used in a noisy environment, connecting a 0.1µF capacitor from MR to GND
provides additional noise immunity.

MARGIN allows system-level testing while power supplies are adjusted from their nominal voltages. Drive
MARGIN low to force RESET and OUT_ high, regardless of the voltage at any monitored input. The state of
each output does not change while MARGIN = GND.
The watchdog timer continues to run when
MARGIN is low, and if a timeout occurs, RESET will
assert t
MD
after MARGIN is deasserted.
The MARGIN input is internally pulled up to VCC. Leave
MARGIN unconnected or connect to VCCif unused.
Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
The MAX16060/MAX16061/MAX16062 feature a V
CC
undervoltage lockout (UVLO) that preserves a reset
status even if V
CC
falls as low as 1V. The undervoltage
lockout circuitry monitors the voltage at VCC. If V
CC
falls below the UVLO falling threshold (typically
1.735V), RESET is asserted and all OUT_ are asserted
low. This eliminates an incorrect RESET or OUT_ output
state as V
CC
drops below the normal VCCoperational
voltage range of 1.98V to 5.5V.
During power-up as VCCrises above 1V, RESET is
asserted and all OUT_ are asserted low until V
CC
exceeds the UVLO threshold. As VCCexceeds the UVLO
threshold, all inputs are monitored and the correct output
state appears at all the outputs. This also ensures that
RESET and all OUT_ are in the correct state once V
CC
reaches the normal VCCoperational range.
Power-Supply Bypassing
In noisy applications, bypass VCCto ground with a
0.1µF capacitor as close to the device as possible. The
additional capacitor improves transient immunity. For
fast-rising VCCtransients, additional capacitance may
be required.
