Product details
Overview
DS1233D-15+ from Maxim Integrated (now Analog Devices) is a precision 5V microprocessor supervisory circuit with 15% VCC trip point (4.0–4.24 V), 350 ms reset timeout, and internal 5 kΩ pull-up resistor. It monitors power supply integrity, asserts active-low RESET during out-of-tolerance conditions, and supports Motorola 68XXX and HC16 microprocessors in embedded control systems.
For engineers reviewing the DS1233D-15+ datasheet, DS1233D-15+ pinout, DS1233D-15+ application, or DS1233D-15+ equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 15% VCC threshold accuracy, -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature operation, TO-92/SOT-223 package options, 350 ms minimum reset pulse width, and compatibility with legacy 5V microcontroller reset logic.
Technical Context
The DS1233D-15+ integrates a temperature-compensated voltage reference and comparator to detect VCC droop below 4.125 V (typical), triggering an open-drain active-low RESET signal. Its internal timing circuit holds RESET asserted for ≥250 ms (min) and ≤450 ms (max) after VCC recovery, ensuring stable processor boot.
No external capacitor is required for reset timing - the 350 ms delay is factory-trimmed and internally generated. The device operates with VCC as low as 1.2 V but guarantees correct trip-point detection only within 5.0 V ±10%, and features 100 ns propagation delay from VCC fault detection to RST assertion.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Trip Point | 4.0–4.24 V (15% tolerance); ensures reliable reset initiation before 5V rail collapse affects CPU operation |
| Reset Pulse Width | 250–450 ms; provides sufficient stabilization time for 5V microcontrollers post-power recovery |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.2–5.5 V; enables operation during brown-out but valid monitoring only at 5V ±10% |
| Output Type | Open-drain RESET; requires external pull-up or uses internal 3.75–6.25 kΩ resistor |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +85°C; qualified for industrial-grade embedded systems without derating |
| Propagation Delay | 100 ns (VCC detect to RST); enables fast response to sudden power faults |
| Output Drive | 8 mA sink capability at 0.4 V; directly drives standard TTL/CMOS reset inputs |
Pinout & Package
DS1233D-15+ is available in TO-92 (3-pin) and SOT-223 (4-pin) packages. The SOT-223 variant includes an additional ground pin (Pin 4) for improved thermal and noise performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (TO-92) / Pin 1 (SOT-223) | GROUND | Primary return path for internal reference and comparator; must be connected to system ground plane |
| Pin 2 (TO-92) / Pin 2 (SOT-223) | RESET | Active-low open-drain output; sinks current when VCC is out-of-tolerance or during power-up delay |
| Pin 3 (TO-92) / Pin 3 (SOT-223) | VCC | Power supply input; monitored for 15% undervoltage condition; also powers internal circuitry |
| Pin 4 (SOT-223 only) | GROUND | Dedicated thermal/low-impedance ground; improves stability under high-current PCB layouts |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision 15% VCC threshold | Guaranteed 4.0–4.24 V trip range eliminates need for external resistor divider calibration |
| Factory-trimmed 350 ms reset timeout | Removes external RC timing components and associated board space and tolerance drift |
| Internal 5 kΩ pull-up resistor | Reduces BOM count by one component; compatible with most 5V microcontroller reset inputs |
| Temperature-compensated reference | Maintains trip-point accuracy across -40°C to +85°C without external compensation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX691ACSA+ | Higher integration: includes watchdog timer, manual reset input, and 1.25 V reference; 5V-only supply; 200 ms reset timeout | Required where system-level fault recovery (e.g., stuck software) is needed beyond power monitoring | Select MAX691ACSA+ when watchdog functionality and manual reset are mandatory; not drop-in due to different pinout and feature set |
| TPS3808G15DBVR | Adjustable threshold via external resistor; 2% accuracy; 200 ms fixed timeout; 1.8–6 V supply range | Suitable for modern low-voltage designs (e.g., 3.3V) or where precise trip-point tuning is required | Select TPS3808G15DBVR for higher accuracy or multi-rail systems; requires external resistor network and layout change |
Compared with MAX691ACSA+ and TPS3808G15DBVR, the DS1233D-15+ offers lowest BOM cost and smallest footprint for fixed 5V/15% monitoring with no external components - ideal for cost-sensitive, legacy 5V microcontroller designs where watchdog or adjustable thresholds are unnecessary.

FAQ
What is the exact VCC trip point range for DS1233D-15+?
The DS1233D-15+ has a guaranteed VCC trip point range of 4.0 V to 4.24 V at +25°C, corresponding to 15% undervoltage tolerance of a nominal 5V supply. This range is specified across the full operating temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) and includes unit-to-unit variation and temperature drift. The typical trip point is 4.125 V, and the device uses a precision temperature-compensated reference to maintain accuracy without external calibration.
Does DS1233D-15+ require an external pull-up resistor on the RESET pin?
No, DS1233D-15+ includes an internal pull-up resistor of 3.75–6.25 kΩ, eliminating the need for an external component in standard 5V microcontroller interfaces. However, if stronger drive or faster rise time is required - for example, when driving multiple loads or longer traces - an external pull-up may be added in parallel. The internal resistor ensures functional operation even if no external component is used.
Can DS1233D-15+ be used with 3.3V microcontrollers?
No, DS1233D-15+ is specifically designed for 5V systems and monitors VCC against a 15% threshold of 5V (i.e., ~4.1 V). Its trip point is not adjustable, and it does not guarantee correct operation below 4.0 V. For 3.3V applications, consider alternatives like the DS1233A-15 or TPS3808G15, which are rated for lower supply rails and offer appropriate trip points.
What is the minimum VCC required for DS1233D-15+ to operate correctly?
DS1233D-15+ functions with VCC as low as 1.2 V, but its voltage-monitoring accuracy and reset timing specifications are only guaranteed when VCC is within 5.0 V ±10% (i.e., 4.5–5.5 V). Below 4.5 V, the device may assert RESET, but the trip point tolerance and 350 ms timeout are not characterized. Operation outside the recommended 5V range risks unreliable supervision behavior.
Is DS1233D-15+ pin-compatible with DS1233-15?
Yes, DS1233D-15+ and DS1233-15 share identical pinouts (TO-92 and SOT-223), electrical specifications, and functional behavior. The "D" suffix denotes the newer revision with enhanced ESD protection and tighter production testing, but both are mechanically and electrically interchangeable in existing designs without PCB changes.
