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 active-low 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.ApplicationsAutomotiveMultivoltage ASICsNetworking/Telecommunication EquipmentServersStorage Equipment

The MAX16997/MAX16998 are microprocessor (µP) supervisory circuits for high-input-voltage and low-quiescent-current applications. These devices detect downstream circuit failures and provide switchover to redundant circuitry. See the Selector Guide in the full data sheet for the different versions of this product family.The MAX16997/MAX16998 family has four independent inputs for reset and watchdog functions. SWT and SRT inputs independently set the timeout periods of watchdog and reset timers through external capacitors. RESETIN/EN monitor voltages at respective inputs. A resistive voltage-divider sets the reset threshold.The MAX16998A/B/D generate two output signals, active-low RESET and active-low ENABLE. Active-low RESET asserts whenever RESETIN drops below its threshold voltage or when the watchdog timer detects a timing fault at WDI. Once asserted, and after all reset conditions are removed, active-low RESET remains low for the reset timeout period, tRESET, and then goes high. The MAX16997A generates one output signal (active-low ENABLE) based on the voltage level at EN and the signal at WDI.The MAX16997A does not have a active-low RESET output. The watchdog is disabled if the voltage at EN is below its threshold. The MAX16997A watchdog timer starts timing when the voltage at EN becomes higher than the preset threshold voltage level. Each time EN rises above the preset threshold voltage, the initial watchdog timeout period is 8 times the normal watchdog timeout period (tWP).The MAX16997/MAX16998 are available in 8-pin lead-free µMAX® packages and are fully specified over the -40°C to +125°C automotive temperature range.ApplicationsAutomotiveIndustrial

The MAX16999 linear regulator operates from a 2.5V to 5.5V input voltage and delivers 100mA continuous load current with a low quiescent current typically around 13µA. The output voltage is preset to internally trimmed voltages in the 0.5V to 3.3V range (see the Selector Guide in the full data sheet). An active-low, open-drain reset output remains low for a programmable timeout delay after the output voltage reaches regulation. The reset timeout is programmed by an external capacitor connected to CRES.This device also features logic-controlled shutdown, and short-circuit and thermal-overload protection. The typical applications are multimedia, telematics, and motor control microcontrollers (µCs) with always-on requirements. The MAX16999 is used as a parallel, low-quiescent supply to power the core or interrupt section of µCs during sleep mode. It can also be used to supply a timer or memory during µC shutoff. The adjustable POR delay assists with power-supply sequencing.ApplicationsHandheld/Portable DevicesIndustrialKeep-Alive TimersSDRAM Power Supplies

The MAX17000 pulse-width modulation (PWM) controller provides a complete power solution for notebook DDR, DDR2, and DDR3 memory. It comprises a step-down controller, a source/sink LDO regulator, and a reference buffer to generate the required VDDQ, VTT, and VTTR rails.The VDDQ rail is supplied by a step-down converter using Maxim’s proprietary Quick-PWM™ controller. The high-efficiency, constant-on-time PWM controller handles wide input/output voltage ratios (low duty-cycle applications) with ease and provides 100ns response to load transients while maintaining a relatively constant switching frequency. The Quick-PWM architecture circumvents the poor load-transient timing problems of fixed-frequency current-mode PWMs while also avoiding the problems caused by widely varying switching frequencies in conventional constant-on-time and constant-off-time PWM schemes. The controller senses the current to achieve an accurate valley current-limit protection. It is also built in with overvoltage, undervoltage, and thermal protections. The MAX17000 can be set to run in three different modes: power-efficient SKIP mode, low-noise forced-PWM mode, and standby mode to support memory in notebook computer standby operation. The switching frequency is programmable from 200kHz to 600kHz to allow small components and high efficiency. The VDDQ output voltage can be set to a preset 1.8V or 1.5V, or be adjusted from 1.0V to 2.5V by an external resistor-divider. This output has 1% accuracy over line-and-load operating range.The MAX17000 includes a ±2A source/sink LDO regulator for the memory termination VTT rail. This VTT regulator has a ±5mV deadband that either sources or sinks, ideal for the fast-changing load burst present in memory termination applications. This feature also reduces output capacitance requirements.The VTTR reference buffer sources and sinks ±3mA, providing the reference voltage needed by the memory controller and devices on the memory bus.The MAX17000 is available in a 24-pin, 4mm x 4mm, TQFN package.ApplicationsDDR, DDR2, and DDR3 Memory SuppliesNotebook ComputersSSTL Memory Supplies

The MAX6620 controls the speeds of up to four fans using four independent linear voltage outputs. The drive voltages for the fans are controlled directly over the I²C interface. Each output drives the base of an external bipolar transistor or the gate of a FET in high-side drive configuration. Voltage feedback at the fan's power-supply terminal is used to force the correct output voltage.The MAX6620 offers two methods for fan control. In RPM mode, the MAX6620 monitors four fan tachometer logic outputs for precise (±1%) control of fan RPM and detection of fan failure. In DAC mode, each fan is driven with a voltage resolution of 9 bits and the tachometer outputs of the fans are monitored for failure.The DAC_START input selects the fan power-supply voltage at startup to ensure appropriate fan drive when power is first applied. A watchdog feature turns the fans fully on to protect the system if there are no valid I²C communications within a preset timeout period.The MAX6620 operates from a 3.0V to 5.5V power supply with low 250µA supply current, and the I²C-compatible interface makes it ideal for fan control in a wide range of cooling applications. The MAX6620 is available in a 28-pin TQFN package and operates over the -40°C to +125°C automotive temperature range.ApplicationsCommunications EquipmentConsumer ProductsServersStorage Equipment

The MAX8625A PWM step-up/down regulator is intended to power digital logic, hard disk drives, motors, and other loads in portable, battery-powered devices such as PDAs, cell phones, digital still cameras (DSCs), and MP3 players. The MAX8625A provides either a fixed 3.3V or adjustable output voltage (1.25V to 4V) at up to 0.8A from a 2.5V to 5.5V input. The MAX8625A utilizes a 2A peak current limit.Maxim's H-bridge topology provides a seamless transition through all operating modes without the glitches commonly seen with other devices. Four internal MOSFETs (two switches and two synchronous rectifiers) with internal compensation minimize external components. An active-low SKIP input selects a low-noise, fixed-frequency PWM mode, or a high-efficiency skip mode where the converter automatically switches to PFM mode under light loads for best light-load efficiency. The internal oscillator operates at 1MHz to allow for a small external inductor and capacitors.The MAX8625A features current-limit circuitry that shuts down the IC in the event of an output overload. In addition, soft-start circuitry reduces inrush current during startup. The IC also features True Shutdown™, which disconnects the output from the input when the IC is disabled. The MAX8625A is available in a 3mm x 3mm, 14-pin TDFN package.ApplicationsBattery-Powered Hard Disk Drive (HDD)DSCs and CamcordersMP3 Players and Cellular PhonesPDAs and Smartphones

The MAX16056–MAX16059 are ultra-low-current 125nA (typ) microprocessor (µP) supervisory circuits that monitor a single system supply voltage. These devices assert an active-low reset signal whenever the VCC supply voltage drops below the factory trimmed reset threshold, manual reset is pulled low, or the watchdog timer runs out (MAX16056/MAX16058). The reset output remains asserted for an adjustable reset timeout period after VCC rises above the reset threshold. Factory-trimmed reset threshold voltages are offered from 1.575V to 4.625V in approximately 100mV increments (see Table 1 in the full data sheet).These devices feature adjustable reset and watchdog timeout using external capacitors. The MAX16056/MAX16058 contain a watchdog timer with a watchdog select input (WDS) that multiplies the watchdog timeout period by 128. The MAX16057/MAX16059 do not have the watchdog feature.The MAX16056–MAX16059 are available in either push-pull or open-drain output-type configurations (see the Ordering Information in the full data sheet). These devices are fully specified over the -40°C to +125°C automotive temperature range.
