Product details
Overview
DS1232SN+T&R from Maxim Integrated (formerly Dallas Semiconductor) is a microprocessor supervisory circuit that monitors VCC, provides pushbutton reset control, and implements a programmable watchdog timer. It delivers active-high and open-drain active-low reset outputs, supports 5% or 10% VCC tolerance selection via TOL pin, guarantees ≥250 ms reset pulse width, and operates across –40°C to +85°C for industrial embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the DS1232SN+T&R datasheet, DS1232SN+T&R pinout, DS1232SN+T&R application, or DS1232SN+T&R equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-reset output polarity, selectable VCC trip point (4.25 V or 4.50 V), watchdog timeout options (150/600/1200 ms), industrial temperature rating, and 8-pin mini-DIP package compatibility with legacy designs.
Technical Context
The DS1232SN+T&R integrates three independent monitoring functions in a single IC: precision voltage monitoring using a temperature-compensated bandgap reference and comparator, hardware-debounced pushbutton reset with guaranteed 250 ms minimum pulse width, and a non-disableable watchdog timer with three timeout settings selected by TD pin state (GND/float/VCC).
Its dual RST outputs-active-high CMOS and active-low open-drain-enable direct interfacing with diverse microprocessor reset inputs; the open-drain RST supports wired-OR configurations and level translation, while the CMOS RST drives standard logic loads without external pull-ups.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Trip Point | 4.50 V (TOL=GND) or 4.25 V (TOL=VCC); sets precise power-fail detection threshold for 5 V systems |
| Reset Pulse Width | ≥250 ms minimum; ensures full processor initialization and power stabilization before release |
| Watchdog Timeout | 150 ms (TD=GND), 600 ms (TD=float), 1.2 s (TD=VCC); configurable fault-detection window |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C; validated for industrial environments without derating |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V; compatible with standard 5 V logic rails and tolerates nominal ±10% variation |
| Output Drive | RST: CMOS, 8 mA sink/source; RST: open-drain, 10 mA sink; supports mixed-signal interface requirements |
Pinout & Package
DS1232SN+T&R uses an 8-pin mini-DIP (300-mil) package with through-hole mounting. Pin 1 is PBRST; pins 5 and 6 are dual RST outputs (CMOS high-active and open-drain low-active); pin 3 is TOL for VCC tolerance selection; pin 2 is TD for watchdog timeout configuration.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PBRST | Pushbutton Reset Input | Active-low, internally pulled up; debounced input generating ≥250 ms reset on button release |
| TD | Watchdog Timeout Select | Configures watchdog period: GND=150 ms, float=600 ms, VCC=1.2 s |
| TOL | VCC Tolerance Select | GND=5% trip (4.50 V), VCC=10% trip (4.25 V); sets power-fail detection threshold |
| GND | Ground Reference | Common return for all analog and digital circuitry; required for accurate voltage monitoring |
| RST | Reset Output (Active High) | CMOS-compatible, rail-to-rail output; drives standard microprocessor reset inputs directly |
| RST | Reset Output (Active Low, Open Drain) | Open-drain output enabling wired-OR reset buses and level-shifting without external components |
| ST | Strobe Input | High-to-low transition resets watchdog timer; derived from CPU address/data/control signals |
| VCC | Power Supply Input | +5 V supply pin; powers internal reference, comparator, and logic; monitored for out-of-tolerance condition |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-polarity reset outputs | Simultaneous active-high CMOS and active-low open-drain RST signals eliminate need for external inverters or pull-up resistors |
| Selectable VCC trip point | TOL pin configures 4.50 V (5%) or 4.25 V (10%) detection threshold, matching system-level power supply tolerance requirements |
| Guaranteed 250 ms reset pulse | Hardware-enforced minimum pulse width ensures reliable microprocessor initialization after power-up or manual reset |
| Non-disableable watchdog timer | Forces reset if ST is not strobed within configured timeout - prevents software lockup without requiring enable/disable logic |
| Industrial temperature range | –40°C to +85°C operation validated per specification; supports deployment in harsh environmental conditions |

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; no active-high RST; fixed 4.65 V trip; watchdog timeout not programmable | Lacks dual-reset capability and adjustable watchdog; suitable only where CMOS RST is unnecessary | Choose when board layout prohibits adding external inverter and system requires simpler, fixed-threshold supervision |
| TPS3823-50DBVR | Single active-low reset; 5% accuracy at 4.63 V; no pushbutton input; watchdog disabled by default and requires enable pin | No PBRST support; no hardware debounce; watchdog must be actively enabled - increases firmware complexity | Prefer when lowest quiescent current (12 μA) is critical and pushbutton reset is handled separately in software or external logic |
Compared with MAX692AESA+ and TPS3823-50DBVR, DS1232SN+T&R uniquely delivers dual-polarity reset outputs, hardware-debounced pushbutton support, and field-selectable watchdog timeout - making it optimal for legacy 5 V systems requiring robust, self-contained supervision without firmware dependencies.

FAQ
What is the function of the TOL pin on the DS1232SN+T&R?
The TOL pin on the DS1232SN+T&R selects the VCC detection threshold: grounded for 5% tolerance (4.50 V trip), tied to VCC for 10% tolerance (4.25 V trip). This allows system designers to match the DS1232SN+T&R's power-fail detection point to their specific 5 V supply regulation spec without external components.
Does the DS1232SN+T&R provide both active-high and active-low reset outputs?
Yes, the DS1232SN+T&R provides two independent reset outputs: pin 5 (RST) is active-high CMOS, and pin 6 (RST) is active-low open-drain. This dual-output architecture enables direct connection to microprocessors requiring either polarity and supports wired-OR reset buses - a key feature distinguishing DS1232SN+T&R from many single-output supervisors.
How is the watchdog timeout configured on the DS1232SN+T&R?
The watchdog timeout on the DS1232SN+T&R is set by the TD pin: connect TD to GND for ~150 ms, leave TD floating for ~600 ms, or tie TD to VCC for ~1.2 s. The DS1232SN+T&R does not support disabling the watchdog - it must be strobed via the ST pin to prevent timeout, ensuring continuous runtime supervision.
What is the operating temperature range of the DS1232SN+T&R?
The DS1232SN+T&R is rated for industrial operation from –40°C to +85°C, as indicated by the "N" suffix in the part number. This extended range is validated per the device's absolute maximum and recommended operating conditions, making DS1232SN+T&R suitable for deployment in non-climate-controlled industrial and outdoor electronics.
Can the DS1232SN+T&R replace older DS1232 variants in existing designs?
Yes, the DS1232SN+T&R is a direct replacement for earlier DS1232 versions in 8-pin DIP packages, maintaining identical pinout, electrical characteristics, and functional behavior. Its "N" suffix confirms industrial temperature qualification, and the "+T&R" denotes tape-and-reel packaging - both fully compatible with legacy DS1232 footprints and schematics.
