MAX16056ATA29+T

Supervisors Overview

The MAX16056ATA29+T is a supervisory circuit from Analog Devices/Maxim Integrated, housed in an 8-TDFN (3x3) package. It features a supply voltage maximum of 5.5 V and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C. The device provides a reset delay time of 14.18 ms and includes a watchdog timer with capacitor-adjustable timeouts. It draws minimal current, specified as 125 nA, making it suitable for low-power applications requiring robust power-system supervision.

Supervisors Feature Summary

• Capacitor-adjustable reset and watchdog timeout functionality
• Ultra-low power consumption suitable for battery-backed systems
• Robust supervision for safety-critical automotive applications

Supervisors Applications

• Safety-critical automotive power system supervision
• Low-power embedded systems requiring precise voltage monitoring
• Battery-backed circuits needing reliable reset generation

Supervisors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'A29' corresponds to the required threshold voltage and timing characteristics, as variations exist within the MAX16056 family. Confirm availability status directly with authorized distributors, as stock levels fluctuate. Ensure the 8-TDFN footprint matches your PCB design constraints before ordering.

Supervisors Selection Notes

Select this component when capacitor-tunable reset and watchdog delays are required rather than fixed internal timers. Consider the 5.5 V input limit and -40°C to +125°C operating range against your system's environmental conditions. Compare the 125 nA quiescent current against other supervisors if ultra-low standby power is critical.

Supervisors Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX16056/MAX16058 series of supervisory circuits designed for high-reliability applications. Unlike fixed-delay supervisors, this series allows external capacitors to set reset and watchdog periods, offering flexibility for diverse system timing requirements without changing the IC itself.

Supervisors Replacement Considerations

Check for MAX16056 variants with different suffixes if the A29 threshold does not match your rail. Verify pinout compatibility with alternative TDFN-8 supervisors from Maxim or other manufacturers before substitution.
