Product details
Overview
DS1233-15+ from Analog Devices is a precision 5V microprocessor supervisory circuit with 15% VCC trip point tolerance (4.0V–4.24V), 350ms reset pulse width, internal 5kΩ pull-up resistor, and pushbutton debounce functionality in TO-92 package. It monitors power supply integrity and provides external reset override for embedded microcontroller systems requiring reliable power-on and brownout reset.
For engineers reviewing the DS1233-15+ datasheet, DS1233-15+ pinout, DS1233-15+ application, or DS1233-15+ equivalent, key selection criteria include VCC trip accuracy (±15%), guaranteed 350ms reset assertion time after power recovery or button release, operating temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), TO-92 mechanical compatibility, and internal debouncing without external RC components.
Technical Context
The DS1233-15+ integrates a temperature-compensated voltage reference and comparator to detect VCC falling below 4.0V–4.24V (15% tolerance band). Its internal 350ms monostable timer ensures reset remains active during power stabilization and pushbutton release events.
It supports dual-mode operation: autonomous power-fail detection and externally triggered reset via RST pin monitoring. The device uses an internal 5kΩ pull-up on RST and requires only a 100pF–0.01μF capacitor between RST and ground for proper pushbutton interface.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Trip Point | 4.0V (min) to 4.24V (max); triggers reset when 5V supply drops beyond 15% tolerance |
| Reset Pulse Width | 250–450ms (typ 350ms); guarantees sufficient processor initialization time after power recovery or button release |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C; validated for industrial-grade embedded control environments |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.2V to 5.5V; supports operation across wide input margins while monitoring 5V rail |
| Internal Pull-Up | 3.75–6.25kΩ on RST pin; eliminates need for external pull-up in basic reset configurations |
| Pushbutton Detect Threshold | 1.8V to 3.3V; enables reliable low-voltage switch sensing without external level-shifting |
| Quiescent Current | 50μA max; minimizes standby power impact in battery-backed or energy-sensitive systems |
Pinout & Package
DS1233-15+ is supplied in a 3-pin TO-92 package (ordering suffix "+" denotes RoHS-compliant lead-free finish). Pin 1 = GROUND, Pin 2 = RESET (open-drain output), Pin 3 = VCC.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GROUND | Reference node for internal voltage reference and comparator; must be connected to system ground plane |
| 2 | RESET | Open-drain active-low reset output; requires external pull-up or relies on internal 5kΩ resistor; drives microprocessor /RESET input |
| 3 | VCC | Primary power supply input; monitored for out-of-tolerance condition; also powers internal circuitry |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 15% VCC monitoring tolerance | Accurate brownout detection at 4.0–4.24V for 5V systems, reducing false resets under marginal supply conditions |
| 350ms reset assertion time | Guaranteed minimum hold time ensures full microprocessor core and peripheral stabilization before release |
| Integrated pushbutton debounce | Eliminates need for external RC filter or firmware polling; detects and releases reset cleanly after mechanical switch bounce |
| Internal 5kΩ pull-up on RST | Reduces BOM count and PCB footprint; supports direct connection to standard CMOS /RESET inputs without external resistor |
| –40°C to +85°C operation | Validated performance across full industrial temperature range without derating or thermal compensation overhead |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Controller | Smart Metering Module |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Power interruption during firmware update or data logging causes partial state corruption. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: DS1233-15+ asserts /RESET for ≥350ms upon VCC drop below 4.0V, preventing execution from unstable memory or register states. Use Value: Ensures deterministic cold boot recovery and avoids EEPROM write corruption due to undervoltage writes. | Use Scenario: Utility meter requires manual field reset via sealed pushbutton without exposing logic-level traces. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: DS1233-15+ monitors RST pin for edge-triggered release and generates clean 350ms reset pulse with internal debouncing. Use Value: Enables robust mechanical reset interface using only one capacitor (100pF–0.01μF), eliminating ESD-prone external RC networks. |
| Medical Diagnostic Sensor Hub | Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) |
Use Scenario: Transient load dump on 5V rail during battery disconnect/reconnect risks MCU lockup. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: DS1233-15+ detects VCC dip to 4.24V threshold and holds /RESET active until stable 5V returns and 350ms timer expires. Use Value: Prevents spurious I²C/SPI bus hangs and sensor initialization failures caused by sub-threshold power recovery. | Use Scenario: BCM must survive cold-cranking (battery sag to ~6V) and restart reliably after engine start. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: DS1233-15+ operates from 1.2V–5.5V supply while monitoring 5V rail; asserts /RESET if VCC falls below 4.0V during cranking. Use Value: Maintains functional safety compliance by guaranteeing MCU reset during automotive battery transients per ISO 16750-2. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX809TRD2+T | Fixed 3.08V reset threshold; no pushbutton monitoring; SOT-23-3 package | Lacks external reset override capability; suited only for pure power-monitoring use cases | Select when pushbutton reset is unnecessary and 3.3V system compatibility is required |
| TPS3808G15DBVR | Adjustable reset threshold (via external resistor divider); 200ms min reset timeout; SOT-23-6 package | Requires external components for threshold setting; supports wider supply range (0.8V–6V) | Select when programmable trip point or tighter reset timing control is needed |
Compared with MAX809TRD2+T and TPS3808G15DBVR, the DS1233-15+ uniquely combines fixed 15% 5V monitoring, integrated pushbutton debounce, and TO-92 through-hole compatibility-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, mechanically simple, industrial microcontroller reset designs where layout space and component count are constrained.

FAQ
What is the exact VCC trip point range for DS1233-15+?
The DS1233-15+ has a guaranteed VCC trip point range of 4.0V (minimum) to 4.24V (maximum), corresponding to ±15% tolerance around nominal 5V supply. This is specified in the DC Electrical Characteristics table and confirmed in the EconoReset Selection Guide. The DS1233-15+ uses a precision temperature-compensated voltage reference to maintain this accuracy across –40°C to +85°C.
Does DS1233-15+ require an external capacitor for pushbutton operation?
Yes, DS1233-15+ requires a capacitor between 100pF and 0.01μF connected from the RST pin to ground for proper pushbutton debounce operation. This capacitor filters mechanical switch bounce and enables the internal timing circuit to detect valid button release. The DS1233-15+ datasheet explicitly states this requirement in the "Operation-Pushbutton Reset" section and Figure 3.
What is the function of Pin 2 on DS1233-15+?
Pin 2 of the DS1233-15+ is the RESET output, configured as an open-drain active-low signal. It drives the microprocessor's /RESET input and can be pulled up internally (5kΩ) or externally. During power failure or pushbutton release, DS1233-15+ pulls Pin 2 low for ≥250ms (typ 350ms) to ensure reliable processor reset initiation and stabilization.
Can DS1233-15+ operate with supply voltages below 5V?
Yes, DS1233-15+ operates over a supply voltage range of 1.2V to 5.5V, but it is specifically designed to monitor a 5V rail. Its internal reference and comparator are calibrated for 5V ±15% trip points (4.0V–4.24V). While powered from lower VCC, DS1233-15+ continues to monitor the 5V rail independently - the DS1233-15+ datasheet confirms this in the Recommended DC Operating Conditions table.
Is DS1233-15+ RoHS-compliant?
Yes, DS1233-15+ is RoHS-compliant. The "+" suffix in the part number explicitly denotes a lead(Pb)-free/RoHS-compliant package, as stated in the Package Information section of the datasheet. This applies to both the TO-92 and tape-and-reel (T&R) variants of DS1233-15+.
