General Description
The MAX16023/MAX16024 low-power battery-backup cir-
cuits with a regulated output are capable of delivering up
to 100mA output current. The MAX16023/MAX16024
include a low-dropout regulator, a microprocessor (µP)
reset circuit, and a battery switchover circuit. Additional
available features include a manual reset, a power-fail
comparator, and a battery-on indicator. These devices
reduce the number of external components to minimize
board space and improve reliability.
The MAX16023/MAX16024 are ideally suited for provid-
ing power for backing up critical memory such as static
random-access memory (SRAM) or real-time clocks
(RTCs). The regulated output is powered by VCC when it
is present and switches over to the backup power dur-
ing brownout. The MAX16023/MAX16024 accept an
input voltage from 1.53V to 5.5V and provide fixed stan-
dard output voltages of 1.2V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.0V, and 3.3V.
The MAX16024 offers the ability to externally set the out-
put voltage using a resistive divider. All outputs are
available with push-pull or open-drain configurations.
The MAX16023 offers a power-fail comparator for monitor-
ing an additional voltage or for providing an early power-
fail warning. Another feature includes a manual-reset input
(MAX16023/MAX16024). The MAX16024 also features
a battery-on indicator and chip-enable gating function.
The MAX16023/MAX16024 are offered in 8- and 10-pin
TDFN packages and are fully specified from -40°C to
+85°C temperature range.

Pin Description
PIN
MAX16023 MAX16024 NAME FUNCTION
12V
CC Supply Voltage Input. Bypass VCC to GND with a 0.1µF capacitor.
2 3 BATT
Backup Battery Input. If VCC falls below its reset threshold (VTH), VBATT VCC, and if
the regulator enters dropout, the regulator is powered from BATT. If VBATT < VCC,
the regulator is powered from VCC. Bypass BATT to GND with a 0.1µF capacitor.
34MR
Active-Low, Manual-Reset Input. RESET asserts when MR is pulled low. RESET
remains low for the duration of reset timeout period after MR transitions from low to
high. Connect MR to OUT or leave unconnected if not used. MR is internally
connected to VCC through a 30kΩ pullup resistor.
4 PFI
Power-Fail Comparator Input. Connect PFI to a resistive divider to set the desired PFI
threshold. The PFI input is referenced to an internal VPFT threshold. A VPFI-HYS
internal hysteresis provides noise immunity. The power-fail comparator is powered
from OUT.
5—PFO
Active-Low, Power-Fail Comparator Output. PFO goes low when VPFI falls below the
internal VPFT threshold and goes high when VPFI rises above VPFT + VPFI-HYS
hysteresis.
6 7 GND Ground
78RESET
Active-Low Reset Output. RESET asserts when VCC falls below the reset threshold or
MR is pulled low. RESET remains low for the duration of the reset timeout period after
VCC rises above the reset threshold and MR goes high. RESET is available in push-
pull and open-drain options.
8 9 OUT
Linear Regulator Output Voltage. Available in the following factory-fixed voltages of
1.2V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.0V, or 3.3V for all devices. The MAX16024 is also available with
an adjustable output voltage (1.8V to 5.25V). Bypass OUT to GND with a 10µF
capacitor.
—1CEIN Chip-Enable Input. The input to CE gating circuitry. Connect to GND or OUT if not
used.
5 SET
Set Output Voltage Input. For the fixed output voltage versions (MAX16024_TB_ _ _),
SET is not used. Connect SET to GND. For MAX16024_TB_, connect SET to an
external resistive divider to set the desired output voltage between 1.8V and 5.25V.
6 BATT ON Active-High, Battery-On Output. BATT ON goes high when in the battery backup
mode.
—10CEOUT
Active-Low, Chip-Enable Output. CEOUT goes low only when CEIN is low and reset
is not asserted. If CEIN is low when reset is asserted, CEOUT stays low for 12µs (typ)
or until CEIN goes high, whichever occurs first.
——EP
Exposed Pad. Internally connected to GND. Connect EP to a large ground plane to
aid heat dissipation. Do not use EP as the only ground connection for the device.

Detailed Description
The
Typical Applications Circuit
shows a typical con-
nection using the MAX16024. OUT powers the SRAM. If
VCC is higher than the reset threshold (VTH), or if VCC is
lower than VTH but higher than VBATT, the regulator is
powered from VCC. If VCC < VTH, VCC < VBATT, and the
regulator is in dropout, the regulator is powered from
BATT (see the
Functional Diagrams
). OUT supplies up
to 100mA from VCC.
Backup-Battery Switchover
In a brownout or power failure, it may be necessary to
preserve the contents of the RAM. With a backup-bat-
tery installed at BATT, the MAX16023/MAX16024 auto-
matically switch the RAM to backup power when VCC
falls. The MAX16024 has a BATT ON output that goes
high when in battery-backup mode. Three conditions
must be met for these devices to switch to battery
backup mode:
1) VCC is lower than the reset threshold.
2) VCC is lower than VBATT.
3) The regulator is in dropout (except for the 1.2V out-
put version).
Chip-Enable Signal Gating (MAX16024)
The MAX16024 provides internal gating of CE signals to
prevent erroneous data from being written to CMOS
RAM in the event of a power failure or brownout. During
normal operation, the CE gate enables and passes all
CE transitions. When the reset output asserts, this path
becomes disabled, preventing erroneous data from cor-
rupting the CMOS RAM and CEOUT is pulled up to OUT
through an internal current source. The 1.5ns propaga-
tion delay from CEIN to CEOUT allows the devices to
be used with most µPs and high-speed DSPs.
During normal operation (reset not asserted), CEIN is
connected to CEOUT through a low on-resistance
transmission gate. If CEIN is high when a reset asserts,
CEOUT remains high regardless of any subsequent
transition on CEIN during the reset event.
If CEIN is low when reset asserts, CEOUT is held low for
12µs to allow completion of the read/write operation.
After the 12µs delay expires, CEOUT goes high and
stays high regardless of any subsequent transitions on
CEIN during the reset event. When CEOUT is discon-
nected from CEIN, CEOUT is actively pulled up to OUT.
The propagation delay through the chip-enable circuitry
depends on both the source impedance of the drive to
CEIN and the capacitive loading at CEOUT. Minimize
the capacitive load at CEOUT to minimize propagation
delay, and use a low-output-impedance driver.

Manual-Reset Input
(MAX16023/MAX16024)
Many µP-based products require manual-reset capabili-
ty, allowing the operator, a test technician, or external
logic circuitry to initiate a reset. For the MAX16023/
MAX16024, a logic-low on MR asserts RESET. RESET
remains asserted while MR is low. When MR goes high,
RESET deasserts after a minimum of 145ms (tRP). MR
has an internal 30kΩpullup resistor to VCC. MR can be
driven with TTL/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 a long cable or the device
is used in a noisy environment, connect a 0.1µF capaci-
tor from MR to GND to provide additional noise immunity.
Battery-On Indicator (MAX16024)
The MAX16024’s BATT ON output goes high when in
battery-backup mode. Use BATT ON to indicate bat-
tery-switchover status.
Battery Freshness Seal
The MAX16023/MAX16024 battery freshness seal dis-
connects the backup battery from internal circuitry and
OUT until VCC is applied. This ensures the backup bat-
tery connected to BATT is fresh when the final product
is used for the first time.
The internal freshness seal latch prevents BATT from
powering OUT until VCC has come up for the first time,
setting the latch. When VCC subsequently turns off,
BATT begins to power OUT.
To reenable the freshness seal (MAX16023/
MAX16024):
1) Connect a battery to BATT.
2) Bring VCC to 0.
3) Drive MR higher than VBATT + 1.2V for at least 3µs.
4) Pull OUT to 0.
Reset Output (MAX16023/MAX16024)
A µP’s reset input starts the µP in a known state. The
MAX16023/MAX16024 µP supervisory circuits assert a
reset to prevent code-execution errors during power-
up, power-down, and brownout conditions. RESET
asserts when VCC is below the reset threshold and
remains low for at least 145ms (tRP) after VCC rises
above the reset threshold. RESET also asserts when
MR is low. RESET is available in both push-pull and
open-drain configurations.
Power-Fail Comparator (MAX16023)
The MAX16023 offers an additional undervoltage com-
parator. The output PFO goes low when the voltage at
PFI falls below its VPFT threshold. Common uses for the
power-fail comparator include monitoring the input of the
power supply (such as a battery) before any voltage reg-
ulation to provide an early power-fail warning, so soft-
ware can conduct an orderly system shutdown. The
power-fail comparator has a typical input hysteresis of
VPFI-HYS and is powered from OUT, making it indepen-
dent of the reset circuit. Connect PFI to GND, if not used.
Regulator Output
Fixed output voltages of 1.2V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.0V, and
3.3V are available for all devices. The regulator output
delivers up to 100mA of load current.
The MAX16024 is available with both fixed and
adjustable output-voltage options. Use an external
resistive divider network connected between OUT, SET,
and GND (Figure 2) to set the adjustable output voltage
from 1.8V to 5.25V. Connect SET to GND for parts with
fixed output voltage option.

Applications Information
The MAX16023/MAX16024 are protected for typical
short-circuit conditions of 10s or less. Shorting OUT to
ground for longer than 10s might damage the device.
Bypass VCC and BATT to GND with a 0.1µF capacitor
each. Connect a 10µF low-ESR capacitor from OUT to
GND. All capacitors should be mounted as close as
possible to the device.
Monitoring an Additional Supply
The MAX16023 power-fail comparator can monitor
either positive or negative supplies using a resistive
divider to PFI (Figures 3 and 4). PFO can be used to
generate an interrupt to the µP or to trigger a reset. To
monitor a negative supply, connect the top of the resis-
tive divider to VCC. Connect the bottom of the resistive
divider to the negative voltage to be monitored.
Adding Hysteresis to PFI
The power-fail comparators have a typical input hys-
teresis of VPFI-HYS. This is sufficient for most applica-
tions where a power-supply line is being monitored
through an external voltage-divider (see the
Monitoring
an Additional Supply
section). Figure 5 shows how to
add hysteresis to the power-fail comparator. Select the
ratio of R1 and R2 such that PFI sees VPFT when VIN
falls to the desired trip point (VTRIP). Resistor R3 adds
hysteresis. R3 is typically an order of magnitude greater
than R1 or R2. The current through R1 and R2 should
be at least 100µA to ensure that the 1µA (max) PFI
input current does not shift the trip point. R3 should be
larger than 50kΩto prevent it from loading down PFO.
Capacitor C1 adds additional noise rejection.

Operation Without a Backup
Power Source
The MAX16023/MAX16024 provide battery-backup
functions. If a backup power source is not used, con-
nect BATT to GND.
Replacing the Backup Battery
When VCC is above VTH, the backup power source can
be removed without danger of triggering a reset pulse.
The device does not enter battery-backup mode when
VCC stays above the reset threshold voltage.
Negative-Going VCC Transients
The MAX16023/MAX16024 are relatively immune to
short duration, negative-going VCC transients.
Resetting the µP when VCC experiences only small
glitches is usually not desirable. A 0.1µF bypass
capacitor mounted close to the VCC pin provides addi-
tional transient immunity.
Capacitor Selection and
Regulator Stability
For stable operation, connect a low-ESR 10µF (min) out-
put capacitor from OUT to GND. To reduce noise and
improve load-transient response and power-supply rejec-
tion, use larger output capacitor values.
