Product details
Overview
DS1232LPS-2/T&R from Maxim Integrated (formerly Dallas Semiconductor) is a low-power microprocessor supervisory IC that monitors VCC, implements watchdog timer functionality, and provides pushbutton reset control. It delivers 50 µA quiescent current, supports 5% or 10% VCC threshold detection (4.75 V or 4.5 V), and guarantees ≥250 ms active reset pulse width. Used in embedded controllers where reliable power-up sequencing and crash recovery are critical.
For engineers reviewing the DS1232LPS-2/T&R datasheet, DS1232LPS-2/T&R pinout, DS1232LPS-2/T&R application, or DS1232LPS-2/T&R equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual RST outputs (active-high CMOS and active-low open-drain), selectable watchdog timeout (150/600/1200 ms), industrial temperature range, and 8-pin SOIC (150-mil) package compatibility with legacy DS1232 designs.
Technical Context
The DS1232LPS-2/T&R integrates three independent monitoring functions: precision VCC comparator with TOL-selectable trip points (4.75 V at TOL=GND, 4.5 V at TOL=VCC), debounced pushbutton reset input (PBRST) generating ≥250 ms reset pulses on release, and a non-disableable watchdog timer triggered by ST strobe edges with timeout configurable via TD pin (GND/float/VCC).
Its dual-reset architecture provides both active-high RST (CMOS) and active-low RST (open-drain) outputs for flexible interface to diverse microprocessor reset inputs. The device operates across 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply and maintains functional reset assertion down to VCC = 2.0 V, ensuring fail-safe behavior during brownout conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Quiescent Current | 50 µA - enables battery-backed or ultra-low-power embedded systems without compromising supervision integrity |
| VCC Trip Point (TOL=GND) | 4.50–4.74 V - triggers reset before microprocessor logic fails, aligning with 5 V ±5% tolerance |
| Watchdog Timeout Options | 150 ms / 600 ms / 1200 ms - selectable via TD pin connection, supporting fast-recovery or long-loop firmware |
| Reset Pulse Width | ≥250 ms - ensures full microprocessor initialization and clock stabilization after power-up or fault |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial environments including factory automation and remote telemetry |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5 V logic rails and tolerates typical regulator ripple |
| Output Types | RST (CMOS active-high), RST (open-drain active-low) - supports direct connection to both TTL and open-collector reset inputs |
Pinout & Package
DS1232LPS-2/T&R is housed in an 8-pin SOIC package (150-mil width), footprint-compatible with industry-standard 500-mil DIP but optimized for surface-mount assembly and space-constrained PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PBRST | Pushbutton Reset Input | Active-low, internally pulled up; debounced to generate ≥250 ms reset on button release |
| TD | Watchdog Timeout Select | Configures watchdog period: GND→150 ms, float→600 ms, VCC→1200 ms |
| TOL | VCC Threshold Select | GND→4.75 V trip, VCC→4.5 V trip - sets power-fail sensitivity per system margin requirements |
| GND | Ground Reference | Return path for all internal comparators, timers, and output drivers |
| RST | Active-High Reset Output | CMOS-level output; drives high during reset, requires no external pull-up |
| RST | Active-Low Reset Output | Open-drain output; requires external pull-up for level translation or wired-OR reset bus |
| ST | Watchdog Strobe Input | Edge-triggered (high-to-low); resets watchdog timer; must be strobed within timeout window |
| VCC | Power Supply Input | +5 V supply rail; powers internal reference, comparator, and logic; monitored for brownout |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent reset outputs | Simultaneous active-high CMOS and active-low open-drain signals eliminate need for external level-shifting or OR-ing logic |
| Selectable VCC detection threshold | TOL pin allows field-configurable 5% (4.75 V) or 10% (4.5 V) supply monitoring without BOM change |
| Non-disableable watchdog timer | Guarantees system recovery even if firmware disables watchdog control paths - prevents silent lockup |
| Debounced pushbutton interface | Internal hardware debouncing removes need for RC filters or firmware polling, reducing firmware overhead |
| Low-voltage reset hold-down | Maintains valid RST assertion down to VCC = 2.0 V, preventing spurious release during deep brownout |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX692AESA+ | Single active-low reset output; fixed 4.65 V threshold; no TOL pin; 1.6 µA quiescent current | Lacks dual-reset outputs and programmable watchdog timeout; suited for simpler, ultra-low-power systems | Choose when only basic power-on reset is needed and board space is extremely constrained |
| TPS3823-50DBVR | Single active-low reset; fixed 4.63 V threshold; 200 ms reset timeout; 12 µA quiescent current; no watchdog or PBRST | No pushbutton or watchdog functionality; designed purely for power-supply monitoring | Choose when system uses separate watchdog IC or firmware-managed reset, and lowest possible IQ is critical |
Compared with MAX692AESA+ and TPS3823-50DBVR, DS1232LPS-2/T&R uniquely combines dual-reset signaling, user-selectable VCC threshold, hardware-debounced pushbutton support, and configurable watchdog timeout - making it suitable for complex embedded systems requiring integrated supervision without firmware dependency.

FAQ
What is the function of the TOL pin on the DS1232LPS-2/T&R?
The TOL pin on the DS1232LPS-2/T&R selects the VCC detection threshold: connecting TOL to GND sets the trip point to 4.75 V (±5%), while connecting it to VCC sets it to 4.5 V (±10%). This allows system designers to match the reset activation voltage to their power supply tolerance and noise margin without changing the DS1232LPS-2/T&R part number or layout.
Does the DS1232LPS-2/T&R support both active-high and active-low reset signaling?
Yes, the DS1232LPS-2/T&R provides two independent reset outputs: RST is a CMOS active-high output that drives high during reset, and RST is an open-drain active-low output requiring an external pull-up. This dual-output architecture enables direct interfacing with microcontrollers, FPGAs, and peripheral ICs that accept either reset polarity, eliminating level-shifting components.
Can the watchdog timer on the DS1232LPS-2/T&R be disabled?
No, the watchdog timer on the DS1232LPS-2/T&R cannot be disabled. It is a hardwired feature requiring periodic strobing of the ST input (high-to-low transition) to prevent timeout. This design ensures fail-safe operation: if firmware hangs or watchdog disable commands are corrupted, the DS1232LPS-2/T&R will still force a reset, preventing undetected system lockup.
What is the minimum reset pulse width guaranteed by the DS1232LPS-2/T&R?
The DS1232LPS-2/T&R guarantees a minimum reset pulse width of 250 ms for both RST and RST outputs during power-up, power-down, and pushbutton-initiated reset events. This duration exceeds typical microprocessor reset timing requirements and ensures stable clock acquisition and register initialization before program execution resumes.
Is the DS1232LPS-2/T&R compatible with the original DS1232 in terms of pinout and function?
Yes, the DS1232LPS-2/T&R is pin-compatible with the DS1232 in its 8-pin SOIC (150-mil) package and retains identical pin assignments and core functionality. However, it adds super-low power operation (50 µA vs. ~200 µA), improved accuracy, and enhanced brownout hold-down - making it a direct drop-in upgrade for existing DS1232 designs seeking lower power and higher reliability.
