Product details
Overview
DS1812-5 from Maxim Integrated (now Analog Devices) is a 5V precision voltage supervisor IC with active-high push-pull reset output, VCC trip point of 4.50–4.75 V, 150 ms reset timeout, and -40°C to +85°C operation - used to automatically restart microprocessors after power failure in embedded control systems.
For engineers reviewing the DS1812-5 datasheet, DS1812-5 pinout, DS1812-5 application, or DS1812-5 equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed reset assertion during VCC undervoltage, precise trip threshold tolerance, push-pull output drive capability, and compatibility with TO-92 or SOT-23 PCB footprints.
Technical Context
The DS1812-5 integrates a temperature-compensated voltage reference and comparator to monitor VCC against a fixed 4.62 V typical trip point. It asserts RST high when VCC falls below the threshold and holds RST active for 100–300 ms after VCC recovers, ensuring stable processor boot.
Its CMOS push-pull output delivers VOH ≥ VCC – 0.1 V at 0–500 µA load and can sink up to 10 mA, eliminating external pull-up resistors. Operating current is only 30–40 µA across 1.2–5.5 V supply range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Trip Point | 4.50–4.75 V - guarantees reset activation before 5 V system rail drops below safe microprocessor operating margin |
| Reset Timeout | 100–300 ms - ensures sufficient stabilization time for power supply and CPU after VCC recovery |
| Output Type | Push-pull active-high - drives RST directly without external pull-up, compatible with TTL/CMOS inputs |
| Supply Range | 1.2–5.5 V - supports operation across wide input rails including battery-backed or low-voltage logic domains |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded environments without derating |
| ICC | 30–40 µA - enables ultra-low-power supervision in always-on monitoring circuits |
Pinout & Package
DS1812-5 is available in TO-92 and SOT-23 packages. Both variants share identical pin assignment: Pin 1 = RST (active-high reset output), Pin 2 = VCC (power supply input), Pin 3 = GND (ground reference).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (RST) | Active-high push-pull output | Drives microprocessor RESET# input high during fault; no external pull-up required |
| 2 (VCC) | Power supply input | Monitored rail input; operates from 1.2 V to 5.5 V with internal reference independence |
| 3 (GND) | Ground reference | Common return path for reference, comparator, and output stage; must be low-impedance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision voltage sensing | Temperature-compensated reference ensures ±1.5% trip accuracy over full -40°C to +85°C range |
| Guaranteed reset timing | 150 ms nominal timeout prevents premature release before power and CPU stabilization |
| Low quiescent current | 30–40 µA max ICC enables use in battery-critical or energy-harvesting supervisory paths |
| Push-pull output architecture | Eliminates need for external pull-up resistor and reduces BOM count in reset signal chains |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3808G01DBVR | Adjustable trip point (via external resistor); 200 ms fixed timeout; open-drain output | Requires external pull-up and resistor network; better for multi-rail or custom threshold designs | Choose when flexible threshold tuning or multi-supply monitoring is needed |
| MAX6326UT46D3+ | Fixed 4.63 V trip; 240 ms timeout; push-pull active-low output | Active-low reset polarity requires logic inversion or MCU pin reassignment | Choose when higher timeout margin and same trip accuracy are prioritized over output polarity |
Compared with TPS3808G01DBVR and MAX6326UT46D3+, the DS1812-5 offers native active-high push-pull output and tighter trip tolerance (±1.5%) without external components - ideal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained 5 V microcontroller reset applications where polarity and simplicity are critical.

FAQ
What is the exact VCC trip point range for DS1812-5?
The DS1812-5 has a guaranteed VCC trip point range of 4.50 V to 4.75 V, with a typical value of 4.62 V. This specification is tested and characterized across the full -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range and ensures reliable reset activation before 5 V system rails fall below safe microprocessor operating limits.
Does DS1812-5 require an external pull-up resistor on the RST pin?
No, DS1812-5 does not require an external pull-up resistor. Its RST pin features a push-pull active-high output capable of driving TTL/CMOS inputs directly. The output delivers VOH ≥ VCC – 0.1 V at loads up to 500 µA, eliminating BOM overhead and layout complexity associated with open-drain supervisors.
How long is the reset pulse duration after VCC returns to tolerance?
The DS1812-5 holds the RST output active for 100–300 ms after VCC rises above the trip threshold, with a typical duration of 150 ms. This guaranteed timeout allows sufficient time for the power supply and microprocessor to stabilize before releasing reset, preventing erratic boot behavior.
Which packages are available for DS1812-5?
DS1812-5 is offered in both TO-92 and SOT-23 packages. Both share identical pinout: Pin 1 = RST, Pin 2 = VCC, Pin 3 = GND. Mechanical drawings for each package are published in the official DS1812 datasheet and on Analog Devices' website under the "Mechanical Drawings" section.
What is the maximum supply voltage the DS1812-5 can tolerate?
The DS1812-5 has an absolute maximum VCC rating of +7.0 V, but its recommended DC operating condition specifies a maximum supply voltage of 5.5 V. Operation beyond 5.5 V may compromise long-term reliability and is outside the characterized performance envelope defined in the datasheet.
