Product details
Overview
DS1233M-55 from Maxim Integrated (now Analog Devices) is a precision voltage-monitoring microprocessor supervisory circuit in TO-92 or 8-pin SOIC package, featuring a 4.5 V to 4.75 V VCC trip point, 350 ms reset pulse width, and active-low RST output. It monitors power supply integrity for Motorola 68XXX/HC16 microprocessors and replaces MC33064/MC34064 series in embedded control systems.
For engineers reviewing the DS1233M-55 datasheet, DS1233M-55 pinout, DS1233M-55 application, or DS1233M-55 equivalent, key selection criteria include its guaranteed 4.625 V typical trip threshold, -40°C to +85°C operating range, internal 5 kΩ pullup resistor, compatibility with legacy 68XXX reset timing, and dual-package availability for through-hole or surface-mount design flexibility.
Technical Context
The DS1233M-55 uses a temperature-compensated bandgap reference and comparator to detect VCC deviations beyond ±2.5% of its nominal 4.625 V trip point. Its internal power-fail detection logic asserts RST low on out-of-tolerance conditions and holds it active for 200–500 ms after VCC recovery, ensuring stable microprocessor boot.
It operates across 1.2 V to 5.5 V supply range with only 50 µA quiescent current, supports 8 mA sink capability at 0.4 V, and integrates a 3.75–6.5 kΩ internal pullup - eliminating external components required by discrete reset solutions like the MC34064.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Trip Point | 4.5 V (min), 4.625 V (typ), 4.75 V (max) - defines precise power-fail detection threshold for 5 V systems |
| Reset Pulse Width | 200–500 ms - ensures sufficient stabilization time for microprocessor and power supply post-recovery |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +85°C - validated for industrial-grade embedded control environments |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.2 V to 5.5 V - supports wide-input operation including brownout tolerance below nominal VCC |
| Output Sink Current | 8 mA @ 0.4 V - drives standard TTL/CMOS reset inputs without external buffer |
| Quiescent Current | 50 µA - enables low-power system monitoring in battery-backed or energy-constrained designs |
| Internal Pullup Resistor | 3.75–6.5 kΩ - eliminates need for external pullup on RST line in most 5 V microprocessor interfaces |
Pinout & Package
DS1233M-55 is available in TO-92 (3-pin) and 8-pin SOIC packages. Pin functions are identical across both variants except for NC pins in SOIC.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| RST | Active-low reset output | Drives microprocessor RESET# input; asserted low during power failure or startup |
| VCC | Power supply input | Monitored supply rail; powers internal reference and comparator circuitry |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return path for VCC and RST; must be low-impedance for accurate trip-point stability |
| NC (SOIC only) | No-connect terminal | Unbonded die pad; must remain unconnected to avoid parasitic coupling or latch-up risk |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision voltage trip point | Guaranteed 4.5–4.75 V window with ±2.5% tolerance - enables reliable 5 V system power fail detection without calibration |
| Fixed 350 ms reset timeout | Internally timed assertion period - eliminates external RC timing components and associated drift or temperature sensitivity |
| Temperature-compensated reference | Built-in bandgap reference stable over -40°C to +85°C - maintains trip accuracy across full industrial temperature range |
| Integrated 5 kΩ pullup resistor | Reduces BOM count by one passive component - simplifies layout and improves reliability vs. discrete pullup solutions |
| Motorola 68XXX/HC16 compatibility | Pin- and timing-compatible with legacy reset controllers - enables drop-in replacement in existing 68000-based designs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage-monitoring reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX691ACSA+ | Higher 4.65 V trip (±1.5%), 1.6 µA quiescent current, integrated watchdog timer | Requires external capacitor for reset timeout; adds watchdog functionality not present in DS1233M-55 | Select when extended low-power operation or watchdog supervision is required alongside reset generation |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3 V fixed trip point, 200 ms min reset pulse, 1.6 µA IQ, SOT-23-5 package | Not pin-compatible; requires PCB redesign; optimized for modern 3.3 V microcontrollers | Choose for new 3.3 V designs needing ultra-low IQ and smaller footprint, not for 5 V legacy replacement |
Compared with MAX691ACSA+ and TPS3808G33DBVR, the DS1233M-55 delivers proven 5 V system compatibility, fixed 350 ms timeout without external components, and direct MC34064 pin mapping - making it optimal for cost-sensitive industrial upgrades and legacy 68XXX-based hardware maintenance.

FAQ
What is the exact VCC trip point specification for DS1233M-55?
The DS1233M-55 has a guaranteed VCC trip point of 4.5 V (minimum), 4.625 V (typical), and 4.75 V (maximum) under operating conditions from -40°C to +85°C. This 4.625 V nominal threshold is factory-trimmed and temperature-compensated to ensure consistent detection of 5 V rail failures without external calibration. The DS1233M-55 datasheet specifies this range in the DC Electrical Characteristics table under VCCTP parameter.
Does DS1233M-55 require an external pullup resistor on the RST pin?
No, the DS1233M-55 integrates an internal pullup resistor ranging from 3.75 kΩ to 6.5 kΩ, eliminating the need for an external component in standard 5 V microprocessor reset interfaces. This feature reduces BOM count and improves reliability compared to discrete solutions like the MC34064. The DS1233M-55 datasheet confirms this in the DC Electrical Characteristics section under "Internal Pullup Resistor".
Is DS1233M-55 pin-compatible with MC34064?
Yes, the DS1233M-55 is pin-function compatible with the MC34064 in both TO-92 and SOIC packages, supporting direct replacement in existing designs. Its RST, VCC, and GND pin assignments match exactly, and the NC pins in SOIC do not affect interoperability. The DS1233M-55 datasheet explicitly states this compatibility in the Features section and Pin Descriptions table.
What is the reset pulse duration of DS1233M-55 after VCC recovery?
The DS1233M-55 holds the RST output active low for 200 ms (minimum), 350 ms (typical), and 500 ms (maximum) after VCC returns to within tolerance. This internally timed delay ensures microprocessor and power supply stabilization before release. The DS1233M-55 datasheet lists this as "Reset Active Time (tRST)" in the AC Electrical Characteristics table.
Can DS1233M-55 operate with supply voltages below 5 V?
Yes, the DS1233M-55 operates across a 1.2 V to 5.5 V supply range, enabling use in brownout-detection scenarios where VCC sags below nominal 5 V but remains above 1.2 V. Its 4.5–4.75 V trip window remains valid across this full range, and quiescent current stays at 50 µA. The DS1233M-55 datasheet confirms this in the Recommended DC Operating Conditions table.
