Product details
Overview
DS1816-20/T&R from Maxim Integrated (now Analog Devices) is a 3.3V precision voltage-monitoring supervisory IC with open-drain active-low reset output, 20% VCC trip tolerance (2.47V–2.64V), 150ms reset timeout, and internal 5kΩ pull-up resistor-used for reliable microprocessor reset in battery-backed or low-voltage embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the DS1816-20/T&R datasheet, DS1816-20/T&R pinout, DS1816-20/T&R application, or DS1816-20/T&R equivalent, key selection criteria include trip point accuracy, reset timeout stability over temperature, open-drain drive capability, package compatibility (SOT-23/TO-92), and supply current under 35µA.
Technical Context
The DS1816-20/T&R integrates a temperature-compensated voltage reference and comparator to detect VCC deviations beyond ±20% of nominal 3.3V. It asserts RST low on power failure and holds reset active for 100–250ms after VCC recovery, ensuring processor stabilization.
Its open-drain output supports flexible interface logic levels via external or internal pull-up; the internal 3.5–7.5kΩ resistor enables direct connection to 3.3V or 5V microcontroller reset inputs without discrete components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Trip Point | 2.47V (min) to 2.64V (max) - precise detection threshold for 3.3V systems operating at ±20% tolerance |
| Reset Timeout (tRST) | 100–250ms - guaranteed minimum hold time ensures stable power-up sequencing for MCUs |
| Supply Current (ICC) | 28–35µA - ultra-low quiescent current extends battery life in always-on monitoring applications |
| Output Type | Open-drain with internal 5kΩ pull-up - eliminates need for external pull-up in most 3.3V reset circuits |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded and automotive accessory environments |
| Output Drive (IOL) | 10mA @ 0.4V - sufficient sink current to directly drive standard CMOS reset inputs |
Pinout & Package
DS1816-20/T&R is supplied in SOT-23 package (tape-and-reel), with identical pin mapping to TO-92 variant: Pin 1 = RST (active-low open-drain reset output), Pin 2 = VCC (power supply input), Pin 3 = GND (ground reference).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (RST) | Active-low reset output | Open-drain driver sinks current during reset; requires pull-up (internal or external) to assert high-impedance or logic-high state |
| 2 (VCC) | Power supply input | Supplies internal reference and comparator; operates from 1.2V to 5.5V, enabling use across 3.3V and 5V systems |
| 3 (GND) | Ground reference | Common return path for internal circuitry and output stage; must be low-impedance for accurate voltage monitoring |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision ±20% VCC monitoring | Guaranteed trip window (2.47V–2.64V) ensures robust reset assertion in noisy 3.3V supply rails |
| 150ms typ. reset timeout | Fixed delay prevents premature MCU release before power and clock stabilization |
| Internal 5kΩ pull-up resistor | Reduces BOM count by eliminating external pull-up in standard 3.3V reset interfaces |
| Temperature-compensated reference | Maintains trip point accuracy across -40°C to +85°C without calibration or trimming |
| Low 35µA supply current | Enables continuous supervision in energy-constrained battery-powered devices |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage-monitoring reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6326–23D | 2.32V fixed trip point, 140ms min reset timeout, 1.8–5.5V supply range, SOT-23-3 | Narrower 2.32V trip suits 2.5V systems; lacks internal pull-up - requires external 4.7kΩ resistor | Select when tighter trip accuracy (<±1.5%) and wider VCC range needed, but accept added component count |
| TPS3808G12DBVR | 1.22V trip, adjustable timeout (up to 2s), 1.8–6.5V supply, 2.5µA ICC, SOT-23-6 | Higher pin count, programmable delay, lower current - designed for ultra-low-power apps with timing flexibility | Choose for battery-powered designs needing <3µA quiescent current and configurable reset duration |
Compared with MAX6326–23D and TPS3808G12DBVR, the DS1816-20/T&R offers integrated pull-up and fixed 20% trip optimized for cost-sensitive 3.3V systems, trading programmability and ultra-low ICC for simplicity and BOM reduction.

FAQ
What is the exact VCC trip voltage range for DS1816-20/T&R?
The DS1816-20/T&R has a guaranteed VCC trip point range of 2.47V (minimum) to 2.64V (maximum) at -40°C to +85°C, corresponding to ±20% tolerance around a nominal 3.3V supply. This range is specified in the DC Electrical Characteristics table and validated across temperature and process corners - critical for reliable reset assertion in 3.3V systems experiencing voltage sag.
Does DS1816-20/T&R require an external pull-up resistor?
No, DS1816-20/T&R includes an internal pull-up resistor of 3.5–7.5kΩ on the RST pin, enabling direct connection to 3.3V or 5V microcontroller reset inputs without external components. However, if higher sink current or faster rise time is required, a 1kΩ external pull-up may be added per Note 3 in the datasheet - but it is not mandatory for basic operation.
What is the reset timeout behavior of DS1816-20/T&R during power-up?
During power-up, DS1816-20/T&R holds the RST pin low for 100–250ms after VCC crosses the trip threshold (2.47V–2.64V), with 150ms typical. This ensures the microprocessor and power supply stabilize before release - a fixed delay independent of VCC slew rate, verified across temperature and supply variations per AC Electrical Characteristics.
Can DS1816-20/T&R operate with a 5V supply?
Yes, DS1816-20/T&R supports VCC from 1.2V to 5.5V, making it compatible with both 3.3V and 5V systems. Its 2.47–2.64V trip point remains valid regardless of supply voltage, allowing use in mixed-rail designs where only the monitored rail is 3.3V - e.g., supervising a 3.3V LDO output powered from a 5V bus.
Is DS1816-20/T&R pin-compatible with other DS1816 variants like DS1816-10 or DS1816-5?
Yes, all DS1816 variants (including DS1816-5, DS1816-10, and DS1816-20) share identical SOT-23 and TO-92 pinouts, electrical interfaces, and timing behavior - differing only in trip voltage thresholds. This allows drop-in replacement within the same package when adjusting supervision tolerance without PCB changes.
