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 V
CC
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.
