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 pulse width, 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 factors include guaranteed 15% supply tolerance detection, fixed 350 ms reset timeout after power recovery, TO-92/SOT-223 package options, -40°C to +85°C operation, and compatibility with legacy 5V microcontroller reset logic.
Technical Context
The DS1233D-15 integrates a temperature-compensated voltage reference and comparator to detect VCC falling below 4.0–4.24 V (15% under 5 V). It generates an active-low RESET signal with 250–450 ms minimum assertion time after power recovery, ensuring stable processor initialization.
Its internal 5 kΩ pull-up resistor eliminates external components for open-drain reset line termination, and it operates across full industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) with 50 µA typical quiescent current - optimized for low-power 5V embedded systems requiring deterministic power-on reset behavior.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Trip Point | 4.0–4.24 V (15% under nominal 5 V); ensures reliable reset activation before 5V rail collapse affects MCU operation |
| Reset Pulse Width | 250–450 ms (typ. 350 ms); guarantees sufficient stabilization time for 5V microprocessor power-up sequencing |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.2–5.5 V; supports operation down to brown-out threshold while maintaining functional reset assertion |
| Output Drive | 8 mA sink capability at 0.4 V; directly interfaces with standard TTL/CMOS reset inputs without external buffer |
| Internal Pull-Up | 3.75–6.25 kΩ; eliminates need for external pull-up resistor on RESET line in most 5V designs |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C; qualified for industrial-grade embedded applications without derating |
| Quiescent Current | 50 µA max; enables use in battery-backed or low-power always-on monitoring circuits |
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 | Open-drain active-low 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 rail for 15% undervoltage detection; also powers internal circuitry |
| Pin 4 (SOT-223 only) | GROUND | Secondary ground terminal; improves thermal dissipation and reduces ground bounce in high-noise environments |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision 15% VCC monitoring | Guaranteed 4.0–4.24 V trip window enables robust brown-out detection for 5V systems without calibration |

Applications
| Industrial PLC Controller | Legacy 5V Data Acquisition System |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Power interruption in factory-floor programmable logic controllers causes erratic I/O state transitions during brown-out. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: DS1233D-15 monitors 5V supply and forces hard reset before MCU enters undefined state, with 350 ms hold time to ensure clean restart. Use Value: Prevents corrupted ladder logic execution and I/O latch-up by guaranteeing reset assertion until 5V rail stabilizes post-interruption. | Use Scenario: Older 5V data loggers using HC16 or 68000-series processors require deterministic power-on reset timing. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: DS1233D-15 provides precise 15% undervoltage detection and fixed 350 ms reset pulse synchronized to 5V rail recovery. Use Value: Eliminates boot failures caused by marginal 5V supplies, improving field reliability without redesigning reset circuitry. |
| Embedded Motor Drive Control | Point-of-Sale Terminal Power Management |
Use Scenario: Voltage sag during motor commutation triggers spurious MCU resets or lockups in 5V control boards. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: DS1233D-15 detects 5V droop below 4.0 V and holds RESET active for ≥250 ms, preventing partial firmware execution. Use Value: Maintains safe shutdown state during transient sags, avoiding unintended gate driver activation or position encoder errors. | Use Scenario: Retail terminals powered from shared 5V wall adapters experience intermittent undervoltage during peripheral hot-plug events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: DS1233D-15 asserts RESET within 100 ns of VCC crossing 4.0 V threshold and sustains it for 350 ms after recovery. Use Value: Ensures transaction integrity by blocking application startup until 5V rail remains stable for full reset timeout period. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX692AESA+ | Higher accuracy (±1.5% trip), 200 ms reset timeout, no internal pull-up resistor | Requires external pull-up; suited for precision 5V systems needing tighter trip tolerance | Choose when 4.425–4.575 V trip window and faster reset release are required |
| TPS3808G15DBVR | Adjustable trip via external resistor; 200 ms min reset time; 1.8–6 V input range | Supports multi-rail systems; lacks integrated pull-up; requires external timing components | Prefer for flexible 5V supervision where adjustable threshold or extended voltage range is needed |
Compared with MAX692AESA+ and TPS3808G15DBVR, the DS1233D-15 offers fixed 15% trip point and built-in pull-up - reducing component count and simplifying layout for cost-sensitive 5V legacy designs, though with looser trip accuracy and longer reset hold time.

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 detection relative to a nominal 5V supply. This range is validated across the full -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range per the device's DC electrical characteristics table.
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 on the open-drain RESET output. This simplifies design and reduces BOM count in standard 5V microcontroller reset circuits.
How long is the reset pulse asserted after VCC returns to tolerance?
The DS1233D-15 asserts the active-low RESET signal for a minimum of 250 ms and up to 450 ms (typical 350 ms) after VCC rises above the 4.0–4.24 V trip threshold. This fixed timeout ensures sufficient stabilization time for 5V microprocessors and associated peripherals before release.
Which microprocessor families is DS1233D-15 explicitly compatible with?
DS1233D-15 is documented as compatible with Motorola 68XXX series and HC16 microprocessors. Its timing parameters, drive strength (8 mA sink), and 5V supply monitoring align with the reset interface requirements of these legacy 5V controller families.
Can DS1233D-15 be used in both TO-92 and SOT-223 packages interchangeably?
While electrically identical, DS1233D-15 in TO-92 (3-pin) and SOT-223 (4-pin) packages differ in pin count and thermal characteristics. The SOT-223 variant adds a second ground pin (Pin 4) for improved thermal performance and noise immunity - PCB layout and footprint must match the selected package variant.
