Product details
Overview
DS1812-10/T&R from Maxim Integrated is a precision voltage-monitoring supervisor IC with active-high push-pull reset output, 4.35 V typical VCC trip point (±10% tolerance), 150 ms reset pulse width, and operation from -40°C to +85°C - used for reliable microprocessor power-up sequencing in embedded control systems.
For engineers reviewing the DS1812-10/T&R datasheet, DS1812-10/T&R pinout, DS1812-10/T&R application, or DS1812-10/T&R equivalent, key selection factors include trip voltage accuracy, guaranteed reset assertion time after power failure, push-pull drive capability, SOT-23 package compatibility, and temperature-compensated reference stability across industrial supply rails.
Technical Context
The DS1812-10/T&R integrates a precision temperature-compensated voltage reference and comparator to continuously monitor VCC against a fixed threshold. It asserts RST immediately upon detecting an out-of-tolerance condition and holds it active for ≥100 ms (typ. 150 ms) after VCC returns to specification.
Its CMOS push-pull output drives logic-level loads directly without external pull-up resistors. The device operates over 1.2 V to 5.5 V supply range and draws only 30–40 µA quiescent current, enabling use in low-power battery-backed systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Trip Point | 4.25 V (min), 4.35 V (typ), 4.49 V (max) - defines precise 5 V system brown-out detection threshold |
| Reset Pulse Width | 100–300 ms (typ. 150 ms) - ensures sufficient stabilization time for microprocessor and power supply |
| Output Type | Push-pull active-high - eliminates need for external pull-up resistor and supports direct TTL/CMOS interface |
| Supply Current | 30–40 µA - enables long-term operation in always-on monitoring circuits |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded applications |
| Output Drive | VOH = VCC–0.1 V @ 0–500 µA; IOL = +10 mA - robust logic-level sourcing/sinking capability |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-3 surface-mount package (3.0 mm × 1.7 mm × 1.3 mm); TO-92 also available but DS1812-10/T&R specifically denotes tape-and-reel SOT-23 variant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (RST) | Active-high reset output | CMOS push-pull driver capable of sourcing up to 500 µA and sinking 10 mA - directly interfaces microcontroller reset input |
| 2 (VCC) | Power supply input | Accepts 1.2 V to 5.5 V; internal reference and comparator operate across full range |
| 3 (GND) | Ground reference | Common return path for internal circuitry and output stage; must be low-impedance for accurate trip-point stability |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision voltage sensing | Temperature-compensated reference ensures ±1.5% trip accuracy over -40°C to +85°C - critical for stable reset timing across thermal environments |
| Guaranteed reset hold time | 100–300 ms minimum active-reset duration prevents premature processor release during marginal power recovery |
| No external components required | Self-contained supervision function eliminates discrete comparators, resistors, and capacitors - reduces BOM count and board area |
| Low quiescent current | 30–40 µA typical ICC allows integration into battery-powered or energy-harvesting systems without significant drain |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3808G15DBVR | Fixed 1.5 V trip point; adjustable delay via external capacitor; open-drain output | Requires pull-up resistor and external timing component; suited for multi-rail or custom-delay designs | Choose when flexible reset timing or lower-voltage monitoring is needed |
| MAX6326UT29D3+ | 2.93 V trip point; 200 ms reset timeout; open-drain output; ±1.5% accuracy | Higher trip accuracy but incompatible 2.93 V threshold for 5 V systems; requires pull-up | Prefer only for 3.3 V domains where tighter tolerance justifies redesign |
Compared with TPS3808G15DBVR and MAX6326UT29D3+, the DS1812-10/T&R delivers plug-in compatibility for 5 V systems with fixed 4.35 V trip, guaranteed 150 ms reset hold, and push-pull output - reducing layout complexity and eliminating external components.

FAQ
What is the exact VCC trip voltage range for DS1812-10/T&R?
The DS1812-10/T&R has a specified VCC trip point of 4.25 V (minimum), 4.35 V (typical), and 4.49 V (maximum) - corresponding to its ±10% tolerance grade. This range is measured under recommended operating conditions (-40°C to +85°C, VCC = 1.2 V to 5.5 V) and reflects the voltage at which the internal comparator triggers reset assertion. DS1812-10/T&R maintains this accuracy across temperature via integrated temperature compensation.
Does DS1812-10/T&R require an external pull-up resistor on the RST pin?
No, DS1812-10/T&R features a push-pull active-high output that sources and sinks current internally. It can directly drive standard TTL or CMOS reset inputs without any external pull-up resistor. This eliminates one common BOM item and simplifies PCB layout - a key advantage over open-drain alternatives like the MAX6326 series. DS1812-10/T&R's VOH reaches VCC–0.1 V at 500 µA load.
What is the guaranteed minimum reset pulse width for DS1812-10/T&R?
The DS1812-10/T&R guarantees a minimum reset pulse width of 100 ms, with a typical value of 150 ms and maximum of 300 ms. This hold time begins when VCC rises above the trip threshold and ensures the microprocessor and supporting circuitry fully stabilize before release. DS1812-10/T&R meets this spec across its full operating temperature and supply voltage range.
Can DS1812-10/T&R operate from a 3.3 V supply?
Yes, DS1812-10/T&R operates from 1.2 V to 5.5 V, including 3.3 V nominal supplies. However, its 4.25–4.49 V trip point means it will assert reset continuously when powered from 3.3 V - making it unsuitable for monitoring 3.3 V rails. DS1812-10/T&R is specifically designed for 5 V systems; for 3.3 V supervision, consider DS1812-33 variants or alternative supervisors with matching thresholds.
Is DS1812-10/T&R available in both TO-92 and SOT-23 packages?
DS1812-10/T&R specifically denotes the tape-and-reel SOT-23-3 package variant. While the DS1812 family includes TO-92 versions (e.g., DS1812-10+), the "/T&R" suffix confirms this part is supplied in SOT-23 format on carrier tape. Mechanical drawings for both packages are available on the Maxim (Analog Devices) website, but DS1812-10/T&R refers exclusively to the surface-mount version.
