MAX16052/MAX16053
Monitor Input (IN)
Connect the center point of a resistive divider to IN to
monitor external voltages (see R1 and R2 of Figure 4). IN
has a rising threshold of VTH = 0.5V and a falling thresh-
old of 0.495V (5mV hysteresis). When VIN rises above
VTH and EN is high, OUT goes high after the adjustable
tDELAY period. When VIN falls below 0.495V, OUT goes
low after a 18µs delay. IN has a maximum input current
of 60nA, so large value resistors are permitted without
adding significant error to the resistive divider.
Adjustable Delay (CDELAY)
When VIN rises above VTH with EN high, the internal
250nA current source begins charging an external
capacitor connected from CDELAY to GND. When the
voltage at CDELAY reaches 1V, the output asserts
(OUT goes high). When the output asserts, CCDELAY is
immediately discharged. Adjust the delay (tDELAY) from
when VIN rises above VTH (with EN high) to OUT going
high according to the equation:
where tDELAY is in seconds and CCDELAY is in Farads.
Enable Input (EN)
The MAX16052/MAX16053 offer an active-high enable
input (EN). With VIN above VTH, drive EN high to force
OUT high after the capacitor-adjustable delay time. The
EN-to-OUT delay time (tPROP) can be calculated from
when EN goes above the EN threshold using the equation:
where tPROP is in seconds and CCDELAY is in Farads.
Drive EN low to force OUT low within 300ns for the
MAX16052 and within 400ns for the MAX16053.
Output (OUT)
The MAX16052 offers an active-high, open-drain output
while the MAX16053 offers an active-high push-pull out-
put. The push-pull output is referenced to VCC. The
open-drain output requires a pullup resistor and can be
pulled up to 28V.
Applications Information
Input Threshold
The MAX16052/MAX16053 monitor the voltage on IN
with an external resistive divider (Figure 4). R1 and R2
can have very high values to minimize current con-
sumption due to low IN leakage currents (60nA max).
Set R2 to some conveniently high value (200kΩfor ±1%
additional variation in threshold, for example) and cal-
culate R1 based on the desired monitored voltage
using the following formula:
where VMONITOR is the desired monitored voltage and
VTH is the reset input threshold (0.5V).
Pullup Resistor Values (MAX16052 Only)
The exact value of the pullup resistor for the open-drain
output is not critical, but some consideration should be
made to ensure the proper logic levels when the device
is sinking current. For example, if VCC = 2.25V and the
pullup voltage is 28V, keep the sink current less than
0.5mA as shown in the
Electrical Characteristics
table.
As a result, the pullup resistor should be greater than
56kΩ. For a 12V pullup, the resistor should be larger
than 24kΩ. Note that the ability to sink current is depen-
dent on the VCC supply voltage.
Ensuring a Valid OUT
Down to VCC = 0V (Push-Pull OUT)
In applications in which OUT must be valid down to
VCC = 0V, add a pulldown resistor between OUT and
GND for the push-pull output (MAX16053). The resistor
sinks any stray leakage currents, holding OUT low
(Figure 3). The value of the pulldown resistor is not criti-
cal; 100kΩis large enough not to load OUT and small
enough to pull OUT to ground. The external pulldown
cannot be used with the open-drain OUT output.
