Product details
Overview
DS1232LPS/T&R from Maxim Integrated (formerly Dallas Semiconductor) is a low-power microprocessor supervisory IC that monitors VCC supply voltage, implements a watchdog timer, and manages pushbutton reset. 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 software fault recovery are critical.
For engineers reviewing the DS1232LPS/T&R datasheet, DS1232LPS/T&R pinout, DS1232LPS/T&R application, or DS1232LPS/T&R equivalent, key selection factors include its dual RST/RST outputs (active-high and open-drain active-low), selectable watchdog timeout (150/600/1200 ms), TOL-configurable trip point, industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), and compatibility with 8-pin SOIC (150-mil) and 16-pin SOIC packages.
Technical Context
The DS1232LPS/T&R integrates three independent monitoring functions: precision VCC comparator with temperature-compensated reference, debounced pushbutton reset input (PBRST), and programmable watchdog timer triggered by ST strobe. Its dual-reset architecture provides both CMOS-compatible active-high RST and open-drain active-low RST for flexible interface with diverse microcontroller reset inputs.
Watchdog timeout is set via TD pin (GND = ~150 ms, float = ~600 ms, VCC = ~1.2 s), and power-fail detection activates reset when VCC falls below threshold defined by TOL connection - grounded for 4.75 V trip, tied to VCC for 4.5 V trip. Reset remains asserted ≥250 ms after VCC recovery to ensure processor stabilization.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Quiescent Current | 50 µA - enables battery-backed or ultra-low-power embedded systems without compromising supervision reliability |
| VCC Trip Point (TOL=GND) | 4.50–4.74 V - ensures reset assertion before 5 V microcontrollers enter undefined operation |
| VCC Trip Point (TOL=VCC) | 4.25–4.49 V - accommodates tighter-tolerance 5 V rails or legacy designs requiring lower threshold |
| Watchdog Timeout Options | ~150 ms / ~600 ms / ~1.2 s - selectable via TD pin to match software execution cycles and system boot timing |
| Reset Pulse Width | ≥250 ms - guarantees sufficient time for power supply settling and CPU initialization on power-up or fault recovery |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - certified for industrial-grade deployment in harsh environments |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5 V logic families and regulated 5 V supplies |
Pinout & Package
DS1232LPS/T&R is supplied in an 8-pin SOIC package (150-mil width), with pinout identical to DS1232LPS-2 variant per mechanical drawings.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PBRST | Pushbutton Reset Input | Active-low, internally pulled up; debounced to generate ≥250 ms reset pulse on release |
| TD | Watchdog Timeout Select | Configures watchdog period: GND = ~150 ms, float = ~600 ms, VCC = ~1.2 s |
| TOL | Threshold Select | GND → 4.75 V trip; VCC → 4.5 V trip; sets VCC monitor sensitivity |
| GND | Ground Reference | Return path for all internal comparators, timers, and output drivers |
| RST | Active-High Reset Output | CMOS-compatible push-pull output; asserts high during power fail, watchdog timeout, or PBRST event |
| RST | Active-Low Reset Output | Open-drain output; requires external pull-up; supports wired-OR reset bus architectures |
| ST | Strobe Input | High-to-low transition resets watchdog timer; must be toggled within timeout window to prevent reset |
| VCC | Power Supply Input | +5 V supply rail; powers internal circuitry and serves as reference for VCC monitoring |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual Reset Outputs | RST (push-pull, active-high) and RST (open-drain, active-low) enable direct interfacing with both modern and legacy microcontrollers |
| Selectable VCC Threshold | TOL pin allows field-configurable 5% (4.75 V) or 10% (4.5 V) supply tolerance detection without component change |
| Programmable Watchdog Timer | Three discrete timeout options via TD pin eliminate need for external RC timing components or firmware reconfiguration |
| Guaranteed Power-On Reset | Internal 250 ms minimum reset hold time ensures stable clock and memory initialization before CPU execution begins |
| Industrial Temperature Range | –40°C to +85°C operation validated across full supply range supports deployment in factory automation and outdoor equipment |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6326US29D3+T | Single active-low reset output; fixed 2.93 V threshold; no TOL pin or dual reset; 1.6 µA quiescent current | Designed for 3.3 V systems; lacks watchdog and pushbutton reset; optimized for ultra-low-power sleep modes | Choose for 3.3 V battery-powered devices needing minimal current draw but no watchdog or manual reset |
| TPS3823-33DBVR | Fixed 3.08 V reset threshold; single active-low open-drain output; watchdog with 1.6 s timeout only; 15 µA quiescent current | Targeted at TI MCU platforms; no VCC threshold select or dual reset; includes manual reset but no debounce | Prefer for cost-sensitive 3.3 V designs with TI ecosystem integration, where TPS3823-33DBVR's smaller SOT-23 package saves board space |

FAQ
What is the function of the TOL pin on the DS1232LPS/T&R?
The TOL pin on the DS1232LPS/T&R selects the VCC detection threshold: when grounded, it configures a 4.75 V trip point (5% tolerance); when tied to VCC, it sets a 4.5 V trip point (10% tolerance). This allows field adaptation to different 5 V supply tolerances without changing the DS1232LPS/T&R part number or PCB layout.
Does the DS1232LPS/T&R provide both active-high and active-low reset outputs?
Yes, the DS1232LPS/T&R provides two independent reset outputs: RST is a push-pull active-high output, and RST is an open-drain active-low output. This dual-output architecture enables direct compatibility with microcontrollers requiring either reset polarity, including those with internal pull-ups or requiring wired-OR reset busing - a key capability of the DS1232LPS/T&R.
How is the watchdog timeout configured on the DS1232LPS/T&R?
The watchdog timeout on the DS1232LPS/T&R is set using the TD pin: connecting TD to GND yields ~150 ms, leaving TD floating yields ~600 ms, and connecting TD to VCC yields ~1.2 s. The DS1232LPS/T&R does not support disabling the watchdog - it must be strobed via the ST input at intervals shorter than the selected timeout to prevent reset assertion.
What package type is used for the DS1232LPS/T&R part number?
The DS1232LPS/T&R is supplied in an 8-pin SOIC package with 150-mil body width (also referenced as DS1232LPS-2 in datasheet mechanical drawings). This package matches industry-standard footprint dimensions and is compatible with automated pick-and-place assembly and reflow soldering processes used for the DS1232LPS/T&R.
Is the DS1232LPS/T&R suitable for industrial temperature applications?
Yes, the DS1232LPS/T&R is rated for operation from –40°C to +85°C, meeting industrial temperature requirements. This specification is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Recommended Operating Conditions sections of the official DS1232LP/LPS datasheet, and applies to the DS1232LPS/T&R variant as a member of the DS1232LP/LPS family.
