Product details
Overview
DS1816-5/T&R from Maxim Integrated (now Analog Devices) is a precision 3.0V ±5% supply voltage supervisor IC with open-drain active-low reset output, 150ms reset timeout, and -40°C to +85°C operation-used to ensure reliable microprocessor startup and brownout recovery in embedded power management systems.
For engineers reviewing the DS1816-5/T&R datasheet, DS1816-5/T&R pinout, DS1816-5/T&R application, or DS1816-5/T&R equivalent, key selection criteria include VCC trip point accuracy (2.98V–3.15V), guaranteed 100–250ms reset pulse width, internal 5kΩ pull-up resistor, TO-92/SOT-23 package compatibility, and 28–35µA quiescent current under operating conditions.
Technical Context
The DS1816-5/T&R implements a temperature-compensated bandgap voltage reference and comparator architecture to monitor VCC against a fixed 3.0V threshold with ±5% tolerance. It asserts RST low on undervoltage detection and holds it active for ≥100ms after VCC returns to spec-ensuring stable processor initialization.
Its open-drain output supports wired-OR reset bus configurations and interfaces directly with microcontrollers requiring active-low reset signaling. The internal 5kΩ pull-up eliminates external components in many designs while maintaining compatibility with standard 3.3V logic thresholds.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Trip Point | 2.98V–3.15V (±5% at 3.0V nominal); ensures robust detection of 3.3V supply droop before system instability |
| Reset Pulse Width | 100–250ms; guarantees sufficient time for power rail and CPU clock stabilization post-power-up |
| Supply Current | 28–35µA; enables ultra-low-power operation in battery-backed or energy-constrained systems |
| Output Type | Open-drain with internal 3.5–7.5kΩ pull-up; simplifies interface to multiple processors or logic families without external resistors |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C; qualified for industrial-grade embedded control and automotive body electronics |
| Output Drive | 10mA sink capability at 0.4V; supports direct connection to standard CMOS/TTL reset inputs |
Pinout & Package
DS1816-5/T&R is available in both TO-92 and SOT-23 packages. Both variants share identical pin assignment: 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 | Drives low during power failure or startup; requires external pull-up only if internal 5kΩ is insufficient for target load |
| 2 (VCC) | Positive supply input | Monitored supply rail; operates from 1.2V to 5.5V but triggers at 3.0V ±5% for this variant |
| 3 (GND) | Ground reference | Common return path for internal reference and comparator; must be low-impedance for accurate trip point |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Temperature-compensated voltage reference | Stabilizes trip point across -40°C to +85°C, eliminating calibration drift in thermal cycling environments |
| Factory-trimmed 5% tolerance | Guarantees VCC detection within 2.98V–3.15V without user adjustment or external resistors |
| 150ms minimum reset hold time | Meets JEDEC JESD78 reliability requirements for microprocessor reset assertion duration |
| Low quiescent current (28–35µA) | Reduces standby power in always-on systems such as smart sensors and IoT edge nodes |
| Open-drain output with internal pull-up | Enables shared reset bus topology and eliminates one external component in most 3.3V applications |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3808G01DBVR | Fixed 3.08V trip point (±0.5%), 200ms reset timeout, higher ICC (1.2µA typical), SOT-23 only | Higher accuracy and lower current, but lacks TO-92 option and requires external pull-up | Preferred where precision timing and ultra-low ICC outweigh package flexibility |
| MAX6326UT30D3+ | 3.0V ±2.5% trip, 140ms min reset, 1.6µA ICC, SOT-23 only, no internal pull-up | Tighter tolerance and lower power, but mandates external pull-up and offers no through-hole variant | Selected when board space is constrained and external BOM count is acceptable |
Compared with DS1816-5/T&R, TPS3808G01DBVR delivers tighter trip accuracy and lower ICC but sacrifices TO-92 support and internal pull-up convenience; MAX6326UT30D3+ improves tolerance and power efficiency yet requires added external components and eliminates through-hole assembly options.

FAQ
What is the exact VCC trip point range for DS1816-5/T&R?
The DS1816-5/T&R has a factory-trimmed VCC trip point of 2.98V to 3.15V (±5% around 3.0V nominal), specified over -40°C to +85°C. This range ensures consistent detection of 3.3V supply droop across temperature and process variation. DS1816-5/T&R maintains this tolerance without external calibration or trimming components.
Does DS1816-5/T&R require an external pull-up resistor on the RST pin?
No-DS1816-5/T&R integrates a 3.5kΩ to 7.5kΩ pull-up resistor internally, enabling direct connection to most 3.3V microcontrollers. An external pull-up is only needed if the target load exceeds the internal resistor's drive capability or if a different logic threshold is required. DS1816-5/T&R's design eliminates this component in typical applications.
Can DS1816-5/T&R be used with 5V systems?
Yes-DS1816-5/T&R operates with VCC from 1.2V to 5.5V, but its trip point remains fixed at ~3.0V ±5%. In 5V systems, it monitors for brownout relative to 3.0V, not 5V. This makes DS1816-5/T&R suitable for detecting partial rail collapse or pre-failure conditions in higher-voltage domains where 3.3V logic supplies are derived.
What is the reset timeout duration of DS1816-5/T&R after VCC recovery?
DS1816-5/T&R holds the RST pin low for 100ms to 250ms after VCC returns to within tolerance, with a typical value of 150ms. This guaranteed minimum duration ensures microprocessors and associated peripherals fully stabilize before release. DS1816-5/T&R's timeout is internally generated and independent of external capacitors or resistors.
Is DS1816-5/T&R available in both TO-92 and SOT-23 packages?
Yes-DS1816-5/T&R is offered in both TO-92 (through-hole) and SOT-23 (surface-mount) packages, sharing identical pinout and electrical specifications. The "/T&R" suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging, commonly used for SOT-23, but TO-92 variants are also supported per Maxim's original product definition. DS1816-5/T&R provides layout flexibility across prototyping and high-volume production.
