Product details
Overview
DS1233A-10 from Maxim Integrated is a 3.3V precision voltage-monitoring microprocessor reset supervisor IC with pushbutton debouncing, 2.80–2.97V VCC trip threshold, 350ms reset pulse width, and internal 5kΩ pull-up resistor. It ensures reliable power-on/off sequencing and manual reset in embedded microcontroller systems.
For engineers reviewing the DS1233A-10 datasheet, DS1233A-10 pinout, DS1233A-10 application, or DS1233A-10 equivalent, key selection criteria include VCC trip accuracy (±10% at 3.3V), guaranteed 350ms reset hold time after power recovery or button release, pushbutton debounce capability, and TO-92/SOT-223 package compatibility.
Technical Context
The DS1233A-10 integrates a precision temperature-compensated voltage reference and comparator to monitor VCC against a fixed 2.80–2.97V threshold. It asserts an open-drain RESET signal during undervoltage or pushbutton activation, holding it active for 250–450ms (typ. 350ms).
Its dual-function architecture supports both power-fail detection and external pushbutton reset: the RST pin serves as both output and input-detecting low-going edges for button press and generating a debounced 350ms active-low reset pulse upon release, requiring only a 100pF–0.01μF capacitor to ground.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Trip Point | 2.80–2.97V (10% tolerance at 3.3V); ensures reset assertion before microprocessor brownout |
| Reset Pulse Width | 250–450ms (typ. 350ms); provides sufficient stabilization time for 3.3V MCU power rails and core logic |
| Operating Current | 50μA max; enables ultra-low-power operation in battery-backed or energy-constrained systems |
| Pushbutton Detect Threshold | 0.8–2.0V; reliably senses mechanical switch closure while rejecting noise and contact bounce |
| Internal Pull-Up Resistor | 3.75–6.25kΩ; eliminates need for external pull-up in basic pushbutton interface configurations |
| Temperature Range | -40°C to +85°C; supports industrial-grade operation without derating |
Pinout & Package
DS1233A-10 is available in TO-92 (3-pin) and SOT-223 (4-pin) packages. The TO-92 variant uses pins 1 (GND), 2 (RESET), 3 (VCC); the SOT-223 adds pin 4 (GND) for improved thermal and grounding performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PIN 1 (TO-92) / PIN 1 (SOT-223) | GROUND | Primary ground reference for voltage sensing and reset logic; connects to system GND plane |
| PIN 2 (TO-92) / PIN 2 (SOT-223) | RESET | Open-drain active-low reset output; also accepts external pushbutton input for debounced manual reset |
| PIN 3 (TO-92) / PIN 3 (SOT-223) | VCC | Power supply input; monitored for 2.80–2.97V trip point; powers internal reference and comparator |
| PIN 4 (SOT-223 only) | GROUND | Dedicated second ground terminal; enhances noise immunity and thermal dissipation in surface-mount layouts |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Applications
| Industrial PLC Controller | Medical Diagnostic Handheld |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Power cycling during field firmware updates and sensor calibration sequences. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Voltage supervisor and hardware reset initiator ensuring deterministic MCU restart after VCC interruption. Use Value: Prevents corrupted flash writes by enforcing 350ms post-power-stabilization delay before processor execution resumes. | Use Scenario: Battery-powered portable device requiring manual reset after ESD-induced lockup. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Debounced pushbutton interface and supply monitor providing single-pin reset control. Use Value: Eliminates need for external debounce circuitry while guaranteeing clean 350ms reset pulse regardless of switch bounce duration. |
| Smart Energy Meter | Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) |
Use Scenario: Mains-to-battery switchover during grid outage with real-time metering continuity. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-role supervisor detecting 3.3V rail collapse and asserting reset to preserve EEPROM state. Use Value: Accurate 2.80–2.97V trip point prevents premature reset during transient sags, improving measurement reliability. | Use Scenario: Cold-cranking condition where 12V supply dips below regulator dropout, causing 3.3V rail instability. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: VCC monitor for 3.3V domain with fast 100ns response to undervoltage events. Use Value: tRPD ≤ 100ns ensures immediate reset assertion during rapid VCC falloff, protecting CAN/LIN communication integrity. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset supervision applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX809SEUR+T | Fixed 3.08V reset threshold; no pushbutton debounce; SOT-23-3 package | Lacks manual reset functionality; requires external circuitry for button interface | Choose when only power-monitoring reset is needed and board space is constrained |
| TPS3808G12DBVR | Adjustable reset threshold via external resistor divider; 200ms min reset timeout; higher quiescent current (8μA vs 50μA) | Supports custom trip points but adds component count and layout overhead | Prefer when system requires non-standard VCC monitoring (e.g., 2.5V or 1.8V rails) |
Compared with MAX809SEUR+T and TPS3808G12DBVR, the DS1233A-10 uniquely combines precise 3.3V ±10% monitoring, integrated pushbutton debounce, and ultra-low 50μA supply current in a dual-package option-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained industrial microcontrollers needing both power and manual reset assurance.

FAQ
What is the exact VCC trip voltage range for DS1233A-10?
The DS1233A-10 has a guaranteed VCC trip point of 2.80V (min), 2.88V (typ), and 2.97V (max) at 3.3V nominal supply-corresponding to ±10% tolerance. This range is validated across −40°C to +85°C and ensures reliable reset assertion before most 3.3V microprocessors enter undefined operating states.
Does DS1233A-10 require an external capacitor for pushbutton operation?
Yes, DS1233A-10 requires a capacitor of 100pF to 0.01μF connected between the RST pin and ground for proper pushbutton debounce. This capacitor filters switch bounce and enables the internal timer to generate a clean 350ms reset pulse upon button release-no external timing components beyond this capacitor are needed.
Can DS1233A-10 be used with 5V microcontrollers?
No, DS1233A-10 is specified only for 3.3V systems with a 2.80–2.97V trip point. For 5V applications, Maxim offers DS1233-10 (4.25–4.49V trip) or DS1233-15 (4.0–4.24V trip). Using DS1233A-10 on a 5V rail would result in continuous reset assertion due to overvoltage detection.
What is the function of pin 4 in the SOT-223 package of DS1233A-10?
In the SOT-223 package, pin 4 of DS1233A-10 is a dedicated ground terminal-electrically identical to pin 1 but provided for enhanced thermal conduction and lower impedance return path. It must be connected to system ground, especially in high-noise or thermally demanding PCB layouts.
How does DS1233A-10 handle rapid VCC transients during power-up?
DS1233A-10 responds to VCC transients with ≤100ns propagation delay (tRPD) from undervoltage detection to RESET assertion. Its internal comparator and reference ensure monotonic trip behavior, and the 350ms reset hold time prevents premature release during supply settling-critical for stable microcontroller initialization.
