Product details
Overview
DS1232LPSN-2/T&R from Maxim Integrated (formerly Dallas Semiconductor) is a low-power microprocessor supervisory IC that monitors VCC, implements watchdog timer functionality, and manages pushbutton reset with 250 ms minimum active reset pulse width; features dual RST outputs (active-high and open-drain active-low), 50 µA quiescent current, and 5% or 10% VCC threshold selection via TOL pin; used in embedded microcontroller systems requiring reliable power-up/power-down sequencing and software fault recovery.
For engineers reviewing the DS1232LPSN-2/T&R datasheet, DS1232LPSN-2/T&R pinout, DS1232LPSN-2/T&R application, or DS1232LPSN-2/T&R equivalent, key selection considerations include VCC trip point tolerance (4.50–4.74 V at TOL=GND), watchdog timeout options (150/600/1200 ms), dual-reset output drive capability, industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), and SOIC-8 (150-mil) package compatibility.
Technical Context
The DS1232LPSN-2/T&R integrates three independent monitoring functions: precision VCC detection using a temperature-compensated bandgap reference and comparator, debounced pushbutton reset with guaranteed 250 ms active pulse, and a programmable watchdog timer with three timeout settings selected by TD pin state (GND/float/VCC). It operates across 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply and maintains reset assertion for ≥250 ms after power-up or power-fail recovery.
Its dual RST outputs serve complementary interface needs: RST (active-high CMOS) drives logic-high reset directly, while RST (open-drain active-low) supports wired-OR configurations and level-shifting; both outputs remain asserted during VCC undervoltage, power-down, and watchdog timeout events, ensuring deterministic processor halt and restart behavior.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Trip Point (TOL=GND) | 4.50–4.74 V - sets precise 5% VCC monitor threshold for +5 V nominal supply |
| Quiescent Current | 50 µA - enables battery-backed or ultra-low-power embedded operation |
| Reset Pulse Width | ≥250 ms - ensures full microprocessor initialization and clock stabilization |
| Watchdog Timeout Options | 150 ms / 600 ms / 1.2 s - selectable via TD pin connection, prevents runaway code execution |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded environments |
| Output Types | RST (CMOS active-high), RST (open-drain active-low) - supports mixed-logic and bus-shared reset schemes |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5 V microcontroller rails |
Pinout & Package
DS1232LPSN-2/T&R is housed in an 8-pin SOIC package (150-mil width), with pin 1 marked by notch or dot. The package is RoHS-compliant and designed for surface-mount reflow assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PBRST | Pushbutton Reset Input | Active-low, internally pulled up; debounced input triggering ≥250 ms reset pulse on release |
| TD | Watchdog Time Delay Select | Configures watchdog timeout: GND=150 ms, float=600 ms, VCC=1.2 s |
| TOL | VCC Threshold Select | GND selects 4.50–4.74 V (5%); VCC selects 4.25–4.49 V (10%) trip point |
| GND | Ground Reference | System ground return for all internal comparators, timers, and outputs |
| VCC | +5 V Power Supply | Primary power input; monitored for undervoltage and used as reference for I/O levels |
| ST | Strobe Input | High-to-low transition resets watchdog timer; must be strobed before timeout to prevent reset |
| RST | Active-High Reset Output | CMOS-compatible, driven high during reset; requires no external pull-up |
| RST | Active-Low Open-Drain Reset Output | Must be externally pulled up; enables wired-OR reset buses and voltage-level translation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent reset outputs | RST (CMOS active-high) and RST (open-drain active-low) provide flexible interface options for diverse MCU reset architectures |
| Programmable watchdog timeout | Three factory-trimmed intervals (150/600/1200 ms) selected without external components via TD pin state |
| Adjustable VCC monitor threshold | 5% or 10% tolerance selection via single TOL pin connection - eliminates need for external resistor dividers |
| Guaranteed power-on reset timing | ≥250 ms reset assertion after VCC rise ensures stable clock and memory initialization before CPU release |

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 1.6 s watchdog; no TOL-selectable VCC threshold | Lacks dual-reset flexibility and adjustable trip point; requires external resistor for threshold tuning | Choose when only one reset polarity is needed and fixed watchdog interval suffices |
| TPS3823-50DBVR | Single active-low reset; fixed 5% VCC threshold at 5.0 V; 200 ms reset timeout; 12 µA quiescent current | Lower IQ but no pushbutton reset or programmable watchdog; no active-high output | Prefer for ultra-low-power battery systems where pushbutton override and dual outputs are unnecessary |
Compared with MAX692AESA+ and TPS3823-50DBVR, DS1232LPSN-2/T&R uniquely delivers dual-polarity reset outputs, user-selectable VCC trip tolerance, and three-programmable watchdog timeouts - all in a single 8-pin SOIC without external components, making it optimal for space-constrained industrial controllers requiring field-serviceable reset initiation.

FAQ
What is the function of the TOL pin on the DS1232LPSN-2/T&R?
The TOL pin on the DS1232LPSN-2/T&R selects the VCC monitor threshold tolerance: connecting TOL to GND configures a 5% trip point (4.50–4.74 V), while connecting it to VCC selects a 10% trip point (4.25–4.49 V). This eliminates external resistor networks and allows field-configurable power-supply monitoring sensitivity without changing the DS1232LPSN-2/T&R footprint or bill of materials.
Does the DS1232LPSN-2/T&R support both active-high and active-low reset signaling?
Yes, the DS1232LPSN-2/T&R provides two independent reset outputs: RST is a CMOS active-high output, and RST is an open-drain active-low output. This dual-output architecture enables direct interfacing with MCUs requiring either polarity, supports wired-OR reset busing, and simplifies integration into mixed-voltage or legacy systems without additional level-shifting circuitry.
How does the watchdog timer on the DS1232LPSN-2/T&R operate?
The DS1232LPSN-2/T&R watchdog timer forces reset if the ST input is not strobed low before timeout. Timeout duration is set by the TD pin: 150 ms (TD=GND), 600 ms (TD floating), or 1.2 s (TD=VCC). A high-to-low ST transition resets the timer; failure to strobe results in ≥250 ms reset assertion on both RST outputs, ensuring recovery from software hangs.
What is the quiescent current consumption of the DS1232LPSN-2/T&R?
The DS1232LPSN-2/T&R draws 50 µA typical quiescent current under normal operation (VCC = 5 V, no reset asserted). This ultra-low power draw makes it suitable for battery-backed or energy-harvesting systems where standby current directly impacts operational lifetime - significantly lower than standard supervisory ICs like the MAX692AESA+ (15 µA) or TPS3823-50DBVR (12 µA), though those lack DS1232LPSN-2/T&R's feature set.
Is the DS1232LPSN-2/T&R rated for industrial temperature operation?
Yes, the DS1232LPSN-2/T&R is specified for −40°C to +85°C operation, as indicated by the "N" suffix in its part number. This industrial temperature grade is validated per datasheet absolute maximum and DC operating conditions, ensuring reliable VCC monitoring, watchdog timing, and reset generation across extended thermal ranges encountered in factory automation, outdoor metering, and transportation electronics.
