The MAX16016/MAX16020/MAX16021 supervisory circuits 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.
The MAX16016/MAX16020/MAX16021 perform four
basic system functions:
1) Provide a µP reset output during V
CC
supply power-
up, power-down, and brownout conditions.
2) Control V
CC
to battery-backup switching internally
to maintain data or low-power operation for memories, real-time clocks (RTCs), and other digital logic
when the main power is removed.
3) Provide memory write protection through internal
chip-enable gating during brownout.
4) Provide a combination of additional supervisory
functions listed in the
Features
section.
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 pushpull or open-drain reset output.
The MAX16016/MAX16020/MAX16021 are available in
small TDFN/TQFN packages and are fully specified for
an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

Note 6: WDI is internally serviced within the watchdog period if WDI is left unconnected.
Note 7: The WDI input current is specified as the average input current when the WDI input is driven high or low. The WDI input is
designed for a three-stated output device with a 10µA maximum leakage current and capable of driving a maximum capacitive load of 200pF. The three-state device must be able to source and sink at least 200µA when active.
