Product details
Overview
DS1816R-20-U+ from Maxim Integrated (now Analog Devices) is a 3.3V precision voltage-monitoring reset IC with open-drain active-low output, 20% VCC trip tolerance, 150ms reset pulse width, and -40°C to +85°C operating range-used for reliable microprocessor power-fail detection and restart in embedded control systems.
For engineers reviewing the DS1816R-20-U+ datasheet, DS1816R-20-U+ pinout, DS1816R-20-U+ application, or DS1816R-20-U+ equivalent, key selection criteria include trip-point accuracy (2.47–2.64V), internal 5kΩ pull-up resistor, open-drain RST output drive capability, guaranteed reset hold time after power recovery, and SOT-23/TO-92 package compatibility.
Technical Context
The DS1816R-20-U+ integrates a temperature-compensated voltage reference and comparator to detect VCC deviations beyond ±20% of nominal 3.3V. It asserts RST low on out-of-tolerance detection and holds it active for 100–250ms after VCC returns to spec.
Its open-drain output supports wired-OR configurations and interfaces directly with microcontroller reset inputs requiring active-low assertion. Internal 5kΩ pull-up eliminates need for external resistor in many designs, while 28–35µA quiescent current enables low-power operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Trip Point | 2.47V (min) to 2.64V (max); precise threshold for 3.3V systems with ±20% tolerance |
| Reset Pulse Width | 100–250ms; ensures stable power and processor initialization before release |
| Output Type | Open-drain RST; enables shared reset bus and flexible voltage-level interfacing |
| Internal Pull-Up | 3.5–7.5kΩ; reduces BOM count and PCB area vs. discrete resistor solution |
| Supply Current | 28–35µA; supports always-on monitoring in battery-backed or low-power systems |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C; qualified for industrial and automotive under-hood environments |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 and TO-92 packages both provide identical 3-pin configuration: Pin 1 = RST (active-low open-drain 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 microcontroller / FPGA / ASIC reset input low during fault or power-up; requires external pull-up only if load exceeds internal 5kΩ capability |
| 2 (VCC) | Power supply input | Monitored rail (1.2–5.5V); trip point set at 20% below nominal 3.3V; absolute max 7.0V |
| 3 (GND) | Ground reference | Return path for internal reference and comparator; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision voltage monitoring | ±20% trip tolerance with temperature-compensated reference ensures consistent reset behavior across -40°C to +85°C |
| Guaranteed reset timing | 150ms typical reset hold time after VCC recovery prevents premature processor execution during power stabilization |
| Integrated pull-up resistor | 5kΩ internal pull-up eliminates need for external component in standard microcontroller reset interface circuits |
| Low quiescent current | 35µA max ICC enables continuous monitoring without significant impact on system standby power budget |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Controller | Smart Metering System |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Power interruption during firmware update or data logging causes brownout risk. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monitors 3.3V supply and asserts RST until stable; guarantees safe restart after grid fluctuation.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage-monitoring reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX809TRD3+T | 3.08V trip point (±1.5%), fixed 140ms reset timeout, no internal pull-up | Better accuracy but narrower tolerance; requires external pull-up resistor | Preferred when tighter trip-point stability is required and board space allows external resistor |
| TPS3808G18DBVR | 1.8V trip point, adjustable delay (0–10s), 2.5µA IQ, no internal pull-up | Lower voltage rating and programmable timing; not drop-in for 3.3V systems | Selected for ultra-low-power 1.8V domains where DS1816R-20-U+ trip point is unsuitable |
Compared with MAX809TRD3+T and TPS3808G18DBVR, the DS1816R-20-U+ offers integrated pull-up and ±20% trip tolerance optimized for cost-sensitive 3.3V microcontroller systems-reducing component count without sacrificing reliability in industrial-grade temperature ranges.

FAQ
What is the exact VCC trip voltage range for DS1816R-20-U+?
The DS1816R-20-U+ 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 variation.
Does DS1816R-20-U+ require an external pull-up resistor on the RST pin?
No-DS1816R-20-U+ includes an internal 3.5–7.5kΩ pull-up resistor on the open-drain RST output. An external pull-up is only needed if the connected load demands more current than the internal resistor can source while maintaining valid logic-high voltage.
What is the reset pulse width specification for DS1816R-20-U+?
The DS1816R-20-U+ guarantees a reset pulse width (tRST) of 100–250ms after VCC returns to in-tolerance condition. The typical value is 150ms, ensuring sufficient time for power supply and microprocessor stabilization before reset release.
Can DS1816R-20-U+ operate with supply voltages below 3.3V?
Yes-DS1816R-20-U+ operates over VCC = 1.2V to 5.5V per Recommended DC Operating Conditions. However, its 20%-tolerance trip point (2.47–2.64V) is calibrated for 3.3V systems; operation below 2.47V will assert reset continuously.
Is DS1816R-20-U+ pin-compatible with other DS1816 variants like DS1816R-10-U+?
Yes-DS1816R-20-U+, DS1816R-10-U+, and DS1816R-5-U+ share identical SOT-23 and TO-92 pinouts and electrical interface. Only the VCC trip point differs: 20%, 10%, or 5% tolerance respectively-enabling direct substitution when trip-point requirements change.
