Battery-Backup Circuits with
Regulated Output Voltage
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.

The first placeholder “_” designates reset output options. A letter
“L” in this placeholder indicates a push-pull output and letter “P”
indicates an open-drain output. The next placeholder “_” desig-
nates the reset threshold (Table 1). The last two placeholders
“_ _” designate output voltage (Table 2). For the MAX16024 with
adjustable output voltage version, there are no last two place-
holders.

layer board. For detailed information on package thermal considerations, refer to
www.maxim-ic.com/thermal-tutorial.
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
