Product details
Overview
DS1233A-10+T&R from Maxim Integrated is a 3.3V precision voltage-monitoring microprocessor reset supervisor IC with pushbutton debounce, 2.88V nominal VCC trip point (±10%), 350ms reset timeout, and internal 5kΩ pull-up resistor. It operates from -40°C to +85°C in TO-92 or SOT-223 packages and is used in embedded microcontroller power-up sequencing and brownout recovery circuits.
For engineers reviewing the DS1233A-10+T&R datasheet, DS1233A-10+T&R pinout, DS1233A-10+T&R application, or DS1233A-10+T&R equivalent, key selection criteria include VCC trip accuracy (2.80–2.97V), guaranteed 250–450ms reset pulse width, pushbutton release detection threshold (0.3–0.8V), low 50µA operating current, and compatibility with 3.3V logic systems requiring reliable power-fail and manual reset handling.
Technical Context
The DS1233A-10+T&R integrates a precision temperature-compensated voltage reference and comparator to monitor VCC against a fixed 2.88V threshold (10% tolerance). It asserts an active-low RESET signal during undervoltage or power-down events and holds it for 350ms after VCC recovers to allow system stabilization.
It also implements pushbutton reset control by detecting falling edges on the RESET pin, debouncing the switch internally, and generating a clean 350ms reset pulse upon button release - requiring only a 100pF–0.01µF capacitor between RESET and ground for proper operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Trip Point | 2.80V to 2.97V (10% tolerance at 3.3V supply; ensures reset activation before microprocessor fails) |
| Reset Pulse Width | 250–450ms (guaranteed minimum 250ms hold time prevents premature processor release during power recovery) |
| Operating Current | 50µA (ultra-low quiescent current enables use in battery-backed or always-on monitoring applications) |
| Pushbutton Release Threshold | 0.3V to 0.8V (defines valid rising-edge detection window for reliable manual reset triggering) |
| Internal Pull-Up Resistor | 3.75kΩ to 6.25kΩ (enables direct pushbutton connection without external bias; supports open-drain RESET interface) |
| Temperature Range | -40°C to +85°C (industrial-grade operation suitable for uncontrolled ambient environments) |
Pinout & Package
DS1233A-10+T&R is available in TO-92 (3-pin) and SOT-223 (4-pin) packages. The +T&R suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging for automated assembly. Pin functions are identical across variants except for the additional GND pin in SOT-223.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PIN 1 | GROUND | Reference return path for internal comparator and reset driver; must be connected to system ground plane |
| PIN 2 | RESET | Active-low open-drain reset output; serves as both power-fail indicator and pushbutton interface node |
| PIN 3 | VCC | Primary power input; supplies internal reference, comparator, and reset driver circuitry |
| PIN 4 (SOT-223 only) | GROUND | Secondary ground terminal for improved thermal dissipation and noise immunity in surface-mount layout |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated voltage reference & comparator | Eliminates need for external precision resistors or bandgap references in reset circuit design |
| Internal pushbutton debounce logic | Removes requirement for RC filters or firmware-based debouncing in manual reset paths |
| Fixed 350ms reset timeout | Guarantees sufficient stabilization time for 3.3V microcontrollers after power recovery or button release |
| Low-power 50µA operation | Enables continuous monitoring in energy-constrained systems without significant battery drain |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Controller | Medical Diagnostic Handheld |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Power cycling during field maintenance or battery replacement in programmable logic controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: DS1233A-10+T&R monitors 3.3V supply rail and generates a clean, debounced reset pulse upon power restoration or technician-initiated reset. Use Value: Prevents corrupted firmware execution during unstable power transitions and eliminates false resets caused by mechanical switch bounce. | Use Scenario: Emergency hard reset during diagnostic mode lockup or unexpected sensor communication failure. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: DS1233A-10+T&R acts as a hardware-enforced reset arbiter, asserting active-low RESET for ≥250ms regardless of software state. Use Value: Ensures deterministic recovery without reliance on watchdog timers or host processor responsiveness. |
| Smart Energy Meter | Automotive Body Control Module |
Use Scenario: Brownout detection during grid voltage sags or transformer tap switching in residential metering units. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: DS1233A-10+T&R continuously compares VCC against 2.88V threshold and holds RESET active until stable 3.3V is confirmed for ≥350ms. Use Value: Avoids EEPROM write corruption and maintains accurate timekeeping during transient undervoltage events. | Use Scenario: Cold-cranking voltage dip (<2.5V) during engine start in 12V automotive systems with 3.3V MCU rails. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: DS1233A-10+T&R triggers immediate reset when VCC falls below 2.80V and sustains it through crank cycle, releasing only after stable 3.3V resumes for 350ms. Use Value: Guarantees safe MCU initialization post-cranking without requiring complex analog supervision circuitry. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset supervision applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6326–293 | Fixed 2.93V trip point; 140ms min reset timeout; no pushbutton debounce support | Requires external RC network for manual reset; suited for simpler power-only monitoring | Select when pushbutton functionality is unnecessary and tighter trip-point tolerance (±1.5%) is required |
| TPS3808G18 | Adjustable trip via external resistor divider; 200ms min reset timeout; supports watchdog timer | Needs external components for fixed-threshold operation; adds watchdog capability not present in DS1233A-10+T&R | Choose when system-level watchdog supervision and flexible threshold configuration outweigh cost and BOM simplicity |
Compared with MAX6326–293 and TPS3808G18, the DS1233A-10+T&R provides integrated pushbutton debounce and fixed 350ms timing without external components - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained 3.3V microcontroller reset applications where manual reset reliability is critical.

FAQ
What is the exact VCC trip voltage range for DS1233A-10+T&R?
The DS1233A-10+T&R has a guaranteed VCC trip point range of 2.80V to 2.97V at +25°C and -40°C to +85°C, corresponding to a nominal 2.88V threshold with ±10% tolerance. This specification ensures reliable reset assertion before most 3.3V microprocessors enter undefined operating states during undervoltage conditions.
Does DS1233A-10+T&R require external components for basic operation?
Yes - DS1233A-10+T&R requires a 100pF to 0.01µF capacitor between the RESET pin and ground for proper pushbutton debounce and stable reset pulse generation. No external resistors are needed due to its internal 5kΩ pull-up, but a 1kΩ minimum external pull-up is recommended if higher reset sink current is required.
Can DS1233A-10+T&R be used with 5V microcontrollers?
No - DS1233A-10+T&R is specified only for 3.3V supply monitoring with a 2.88V trip point. For 5V systems, Maxim offers the DS1233-10 variant (4.375V nominal trip). Using DS1233A-10+T&R on a 5V rail would result in immediate, permanent reset assertion since VCC exceeds its maximum rated 5.5V absolute limit only under stress conditions.
What is the function of PIN 4 in the SOT-223 package of DS1233A-10+T&R?
PIN 4 in the SOT-223 package of DS1233A-10+T&R is a dedicated ground terminal, electrically identical to PIN 1. It improves thermal conduction and reduces ground impedance in high-density PCB layouts, but does not alter functionality - both ground pins must be connected to the same system ground plane.
How does DS1233A-10+T&R handle pushbutton release timing?
DS1233A-10+T&R detects the rising edge of the RESET line after a pushbutton release and initiates a precise 350ms reset pulse. Its internal debounce logic ignores contact bounce during release, and the pulse width remains within 250–450ms across temperature and supply variations - ensuring consistent reset duration regardless of mechanical switch characteristics.
