MAX16169AALTA+

Supervisors Overview

The MAX16169AALTA+ is a nanoPower pushbutton on/off controller and battery freshness seal IC manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It features an integrated switch debouncer and latched output, housed in a compact 6-µDFN (2x2) package. The device operates as a supervisor with push-pull outputs, designed for low-power applications requiring precise power management and battery status monitoring.

Supervisors Feature Summary

• Integrates a switch debouncer for reliable input handling
• Provides latched output control for stable system state management
• Functions as a battery freshness seal to monitor storage duration

Supervisors Applications

• Portable electronic devices requiring pushbutton power control
• Battery-powered systems needing freshness indication
• Low-power embedded controllers

Supervisors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'AALTA+' against the official datasheet to confirm pinout and electrical characteristics. Confirm availability status as distribution channels may vary. Ensure the 6-µDFN package footprint matches your PCB design constraints before ordering.

Supervisors Selection Notes

Select this component when a combined solution for pushbutton interfacing, debouncing, and battery age tracking is required. Its nanoPower architecture suits applications where standby current consumption must be minimized. Evaluate the 6-µDFN package size against spatial limitations in the target design.

Supervisors Part Context

This part belongs to the Maxim Integrated nanoPower family, focusing on ultra-low power consumption and integration. It simplifies system design by combining multiple functions into a single small-footprint IC, reducing component count and board space compared to discrete solutions.

Supervisors Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes within the MAX16169 series or compatible nanoPower controllers. Verify functional equivalence regarding debouncing logic and battery freshness algorithms. Ensure package compatibility if replacing with a different manufacturer's equivalent.
