Product details
Overview
DS1708REPA+ from Maxim Integrated is a 3.3V supply voltage supervisor IC with 20% reset threshold tolerance, active-low and active-high reset outputs (RST and RST), non-maskable interrupt (NMI), and pushbutton reset debouncing. It monitors VCC and an external sense point (IN) to detect power failure, provides 130 ms minimum reset pulse width, and operates across -40°C to +85°C for industrial embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the DS1708REPA+ datasheet, DS1708REPA+ pinout, DS1708REPA+ application, or DS1708REPA+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.3V-20% trip point (VCCTP = 2.55V–2.70V), dual reset outputs, NMI early-warning capability, PBRST debounced input, and compatibility with 8-pin DIP packaging in industrial temperature range.
Technical Context
The DS1708REPA+ integrates three independent monitoring functions: VCC supply supervision (trip point 2.55V–2.70V), high-impedance IN pin sensing (1.25V reference), and PBRST input debouncing. Its internal bandgap reference enables temperature-compensated accuracy, and hysteresis prevents false NMI triggers from noise.
It generates synchronized RST/RST outputs during power-down and power-up, holding reset active ≥130 ms after VCC recovery. The NMI output pulses low for ≥200 µs when IN falls below 1.25V, with built-in 5 µs detection delay and 100 µV hysteresis to reject transients.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Trip Point | 2.55V–2.70V (20% tolerance at 3.3V; ensures reliable reset assertion before microprocessor brownout) |
| Reset Pulse Width | 130–285 ms (guaranteed minimum stabilizes processor and power rail post-recovery) |
| IN Trip Voltage | 1.20–1.30V (high-impedance sense input enables flexible upstream voltage monitoring via resistor divider) |
| NMI Pulse Width | ≥200 µs (provides deterministic early warning of power decay before reset activation) |
| Supply Current | 50 µA (at VCC < 3.6V; enables ultra-low-power operation in battery-backed systems) |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C (supports industrial-grade reliability without derating) |
| Package | 8-pin Plastic DIP (300-mil; through-hole mounting compatible with legacy PCB layouts) |
Pinout & Package
DS1708REPA+ uses an 8-pin Plastic DIP (300-mil) package with standard through-hole footprint. Pin assignments are fixed per mechanical drawing and validated for this variant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PBRST | Pushbutton Reset Input | Active-low debounced input; initiates ≥130 ms RST/RST pulse on release |
| VCC | Power Supply Input | Primary supply rail (1.2V–5.5V); powers internal circuitry and defines VCCTP |
| GND | Ground Reference | Return path for all internal currents and comparator references |
| IN | Voltage Sense Input | High-impedance input referenced to 1.25V internal bandgap; monitors external supply point |
| RST | Active-Low Reset Output | Open-drain output asserted low during power fault or PBRST event |
| RST | Active-High Reset Output | Push-pull output asserted high during same conditions as RST |
| NC | No Connect | Unbonded pin; must remain unconnected per design |
| NMI | Non-Maskable Interrupt Output | Open-drain output pulsed low ≥200 µs when IN falls below 1.25V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual Reset Outputs | RST (active-low) and RST (active-high) provide direct interface to diverse microprocessor reset architectures without level-shifting |
| Programmable Sense Input | IN pin accepts user-defined voltage divider to monitor upstream rails (e.g., 12V or 5V) while operating from 3.3V supply |
| Debounced Pushbutton Interface | PBRST input eliminates external RC debounce components and guarantees ≥130 ms reset pulse regardless of button bounce |
| Early Power-Fail Warning | NMI output delivers deterministic interrupt ≥200 µs before RST assertion, enabling graceful shutdown or data save |
| Industrial Temperature Range | Guaranteed operation from -40°C to +85°C supports deployment in harsh environments without thermal margining |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX708ESA+ | 5V-10% trip point (4.25V–4.50V); no IN sense input; identical 8-pin SOIC footprint | Limited to 5V-only systems; lacks programmable voltage monitoring and early-warning NMI | Select when only VCC supervision is needed and board uses SOIC packaging |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V-3% trip point (3.19V–3.41V); single active-low reset; no NMI or PBRST; SOT-23-6 package | Higher accuracy but no early warning or pushbutton support; smaller footprint limits routing flexibility | Select when tight threshold tolerance is critical and space-constrained designs exclude dual-output or NMI needs |
Compared with MAX708ESA+ and TPS3808G33DBVR, DS1708REPA+ uniquely combines 3.3V-20% supervision, dual reset polarity, NMI early warning, and PBRST debouncing in a through-hole DIP package-enabling robust, feature-complete power management without layout redesign.

FAQ
What is the exact VCC trip point range for DS1708REPA+?
The DS1708REPA+ has a guaranteed VCC trip point range of 2.55V to 2.70V, corresponding to 20% tolerance around a nominal 3.3V supply. This specification is validated across -40°C to +85°C and ensures reset assertion occurs before most 3.3V microprocessors enter undefined operation. The DS1708REPA+ datasheet specifies VCCTP min/max values under DC electrical characteristics.
Does DS1708REPA+ support monitoring a voltage higher than its VCC supply?
Yes, DS1708REPA+ supports monitoring voltages above 3.3V using the IN pin with an external resistor divider. The IN input is referenced to a 1.25V internal bandgap, so a properly scaled divider (e.g., R1=26kΩ, R2=10kΩ) allows sensing of up to ~11.88V while keeping IN ≤ VCC. This enables upstream rail monitoring without additional level-shifting circuitry.
How does the NMI output of DS1708REPA+ differ from the RST outputs?
The NMI output of DS1708REPA+ provides early warning of impending power failure by pulsing low ≥200 µs when the IN pin voltage drops below 1.25V, whereas RST and RST activate only after VCC itself falls below 2.55V. NMI has 5 µs detection delay and 100 µV hysteresis to reject noise, giving firmware time to execute critical save routines before reset occurs.
Can DS1708REPA+ be used with a pushbutton that pulls PBRST high instead of low?
No - DS1708REPA+ requires an active-low signal on PBRST. The pin is internally pulled up to VCC (~40 kΩ), so the pushbutton must connect PBRST to GND to generate a valid reset. Pulling PBRST high violates the VIH/VIL specifications and will not trigger the debounced reset function. External pull-up resistors are unnecessary and may interfere with internal biasing.
Is DS1708REPA+ pin-compatible with other devices in the DS1707/DS1708 family?
Yes, DS1708REPA+ shares identical 8-pin DIP (300-mil) pinout with all DS1707/DS1708 variants including DS1707EPA, DS1708EPA, and DS1708TEPA. Pin functions (PBRST, VCC, GND, IN, RST, RST, NC, NMI) are consistent across the family, enabling drop-in replacement when trip point and tolerance match system requirements.
