Product details
Overview
DS1812-15+ from Maxim Integrated is a precision voltage-monitoring supervisor IC with active-high push-pull reset output, 4.13 V nominal VCC trip point (±15% tolerance), 150 ms reset pulse width, and operation from -40°C to +85°C. It automatically asserts reset during power failure and holds reset for 150 ms after VCC returns to tolerance-used in microcontroller-based embedded systems requiring reliable power-on initialization.
For engineers reviewing the DS1812-15+ datasheet, DS1812-15+ pinout, DS1812-15+ application, or DS1812-15+ equivalent, key selection factors include trip voltage accuracy (4.00–4.24 V), guaranteed 100–300 ms reset duration, push-pull output drive capability (350 µA VOH, 10 mA IOL), TO-92/SOT-23 package compatibility, and industrial temperature support.
Technical Context
The DS1812-15+ integrates a precision temperature-compensated voltage reference and comparator to detect VCC deviations against a fixed threshold. Its internal circuitry generates a power-fail signal when VCC drops below 4.00–4.24 V and sustains RST high for ≥100 ms after recovery.
It operates across 1.2 V to 5.5 V supply range with ultra-low quiescent current (30–40 µA) and features rail-to-rail push-pull output capable of sourcing 350 µA at VCC – 0.5 V and sinking 10 mA-eliminating need for external pull-up resistors in most microcontroller reset interfaces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Trip Point | 4.00–4.24 V (15% tolerance band); ensures reset assertion before microcontroller brown-out threshold |
| Reset Pulse Width | 100–300 ms (typ. 150 ms); guarantees stable power and processor clock settling before release |
| Output Type | Push-pull active-high; drives reset line directly without external pull-up resistor |
| Supply Range | 1.2 V to 5.5 V; supports 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains and battery-backed systems |
| Quiescent Current | 30–40 µA; enables low-power always-on monitoring in energy-sensitive applications |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C; qualified for industrial-grade embedded control and instrumentation |
Pinout & Package
DS1812-15+ is available in TO-92 (3-pin through-hole) and SOT-23 (3-pin surface-mount) packages. Both share identical pin assignment and electrical behavior.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (RST) | Active-high reset output | Push-pull CMOS output directly interfaces microcontroller /RESET pin; no external pull-up required |
| 2 (VCC) | Power supply input | Monitored supply rail; powers internal reference and comparator; accepts 1.2–5.5 V |
| 3 (GND) | Ground reference | Common return path for VCC and RST; must be low-impedance for accurate voltage sensing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision voltage threshold | 4.13 V nominal with ±15% tolerance (DS1812-15+); tightly matched to 5 V system brown-out margins |
| Guaranteed reset timing | 100–300 ms active window; ensures full stabilization of power rails and CPU clocks before release |
| Low-power operation | 30–40 µA ICC; enables continuous supervision in battery-powered or standby-mode systems |
| Push-pull output stage | Sources 350 µA at VCC – 0.5 V, sinks 10 mA; eliminates external components and reduces BOM count |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Controller | Smart Metering Unit |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Power interruption during firmware update or data logging causes unsafe state transitions. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervisor IC asserting active-high reset to hold MCU in reset until regulated 5 V rail stabilizes post-recovery.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6326–41D | 4.1 V trip (±1.5%), 140 ms min reset pulse, open-drain output | Requires external pull-up; tighter trip accuracy but less tolerant of supply ripple | Preferred where precise 4.1 V threshold and low tempco are critical; not drop-in due to open-drain output |
| TPS3808G15 | 4.15 V trip (±0.5%), 200 ms fixed reset delay, push-pull output | Higher accuracy, longer fixed delay, wider supply range (up to 6 V) | Offers superior trip stability and extended voltage margin; pinout differs (SOT-23-5 vs SOT-23-3) |
Compared with MAX6326–41D and TPS3808G15, the DS1812-15+ provides cost-optimized 15% trip tolerance and minimal 3-pin footprint-ideal for high-volume industrial controls where moderate accuracy and board space savings outweigh ultra-tight regulation needs.

FAQ
What is the exact VCC trip voltage range for DS1812-15+?
The DS1812-15+ has a guaranteed VCC trip point between 4.00 V and 4.24 V at +25°C, corresponding to its ±15% tolerance designation. This range is specified under DC electrical characteristics and remains stable across the full -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range due to internal temperature compensation. The DS1812-15+ uses this threshold to assert reset before most 5 V microcontrollers enter undefined operation.
Does DS1812-15+ require an external pull-up resistor on the RST pin?
No, the DS1812-15+ features a push-pull active-high output stage capable of sourcing up to 350 µA and sinking up to 10 mA. This eliminates the need for an external pull-up resistor in standard microcontroller reset interfaces. The DS1812-15+ directly drives the /RESET input of most MCUs without additional components, reducing BOM count and PCB area.
How long does the DS1812-15+ hold reset active after VCC recovers?
The DS1812-15+ holds the RST output active for 100–300 ms after VCC returns to within tolerance, with a typical value of 150 ms. This guaranteed minimum pulse width ensures sufficient time for power supply stabilization and microprocessor clock lock before release. The DS1812-15+ timing is internally generated and independent of external capacitors or resistors.
Can DS1812-15+ operate from a 3.3 V supply?
Yes, the DS1812-15+ operates over a supply range of 1.2 V to 5.5 V, making it fully compatible with 3.3 V systems. Its 4.00–4.24 V trip point remains valid across this range, allowing use in mixed-voltage designs where the monitored rail is 5 V but the supervisor itself is powered from a 3.3 V auxiliary supply. The DS1812-15+ maintains specified timing and output drive performance at 3.3 V.
What package options are available for DS1812-15+?
The DS1812-15+ is offered in both TO-92 (3-pin through-hole) and SOT-23 (3-pin surface-mount) packages. Both variants share identical pinout (RST-VCC-GND), electrical specifications, and thermal ratings. The TO-92 version supports manual assembly and prototyping, while the SOT-23 variant enables high-density automated PCB assembly. The DS1812-15+ marking "15" denotes the 15% trip tolerance variant in either package.
