Openlayers 3 Max Extent

This can simply be done by defining extent in the View object. eg

var view = new ol.View({
    ...
    extent: [minx,miny,maxx,maxy]
    ...
});
var map = new ol.Map({
    ...
    view: view,
    ...
});

Another option is:

...
var map = new ol.Map({
          layers: [...],
          overlays: [...],
          target: document.getElementById('map'),
          view: new ol.View({
             center: ol.proj.transform([minx,miny,maxx,maxy], 
                     'EPSG:4326', 'EPSG:3857'),
             zoom: ...,    
             maxZoom: ..., 
             minZoom: ..., 
             extent: ol.proj.transform([minx-n,miny-n,maxx+n,maxy+n], 
                     'EPSG:4326', 'EPSG:3857')
             })
        });
...
