Product details
Overview
DS1817-20 from Maxim Integrated (formerly Dallas Semiconductor) is a precision voltage-monitoring reset IC with 20% VCC trip point tolerance, designed for reliable power-on reset and brown-out detection in 3.0V systems. It delivers active-high push-pull RST output, guarantees 150ms minimum reset pulse width after VCC recovery, and operates across –40°C to +85°C.
For engineers reviewing the DS1817-20 datasheet, DS1817-20 pinout, DS1817-20 application, or DS1817-20 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.47V–2.64V trip window, 100–250ms reset assertion time, push-pull output drive capability, and dual TO-92/SOT-23 package support for legacy through-hole and space-constrained PCBs.
Technical Context
The DS1817-20 integrates a temperature-compensated bandgap reference and comparator to detect VCC deviations against its factory-trimmed 20% threshold. Its internal timing circuit ensures RST remains asserted ≥100ms (typ. 150ms) after VCC re-enters tolerance, independent of supply slew rate.
No external components are required: the device combines voltage sensing, timing control, and buffered active-high reset generation in a single monolithic CMOS IC. Output drive strength supports 350µA high-level sourcing and 10mA low-level sinking at VCC = 2.7V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Trip Point | 2.47V (min) to 2.64V (max); precise detection window for 3.0V nominal systems with 20% tolerance margin |
| Reset Pulse Width | 100–250ms; ensures stable microprocessor initialization after power recovery |
| Output Type | Push-pull active-high; eliminates need for external pull-up resistor in most MCU interfaces |
| Supply Range | 0.0V to 5.5V; supports operation down to near-zero VCC during brown-out |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C; validated for industrial-grade embedded control environments |
| ICC (Quiescent) | 28–35µA; ultra-low standby current preserves battery life in always-on monitoring circuits |
Pinout & Package
DS1817-20 is available in both TO-92 (3-pin through-hole) and SOT-23 (3-pin surface-mount) packages. Both share identical pin mapping and functional assignment.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (TO-92) / 1 (SOT-23) | RST | Active-high reset output; drives microcontroller / processor reset input directly |
| 2 (TO-92) / 2 (SOT-23) | VCC | Power supply input; monitored voltage source; no external decoupling required |
| 3 (TO-92) / 3 (SOT-23) | GND | Ground reference for internal comparator and output stage; must be low-impedance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 20% VCC trip tolerance | Enables robust brown-out detection in cost-sensitive 3.0V systems where tighter regulation is impractical |
| 150ms guaranteed reset hold time | Meets JEDEC JESD78 reliability requirements for microprocessor power-up sequencing |
| Push-pull output stage | Eliminates external pull-up resistor, reducing BOM count and PCB footprint in reset signal paths |
| Temperature-compensated reference | Maintains trip point accuracy across –40°C to +85°C without calibration or trimming components |
| Low quiescent current (28–35µA) | Supports long-term battery-backed monitoring in energy-constrained IoT edge nodes |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Module | Smart Meter Power Monitoring |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Continuous mains-powered operation with transient grid sags and surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Voltage supervisor generating system-wide reset on brown-out events below 2.47V. Use Value: Prevents firmware corruption by holding microcontroller in reset until VCC stabilizes above 2.64V for ≥150ms. | Use Scenario: Battery-assisted utility meter operating on 3.0V rail with backup supercapacitor. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary brown-out detector triggering safe shutdown and nonvolatile state save. Use Value: 20% trip tolerance accommodates wide VCC variation during capacitor discharge while maintaining deterministic reset timing. |
| Embedded HVAC Controller | Point-of-Sale Terminal Power Sequencing |
Use Scenario: Fan-cooled controller exposed to ambient temperatures from –25°C to +70°C. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Temperature-stable reset generator ensuring reliable boot after cold start or thermal cycling. Use Value: Internal compensation maintains ±1.5% trip point drift over full –40°C to +85°C range, avoiding false resets. | Use Scenario: Retail terminal with multi-rail power (3.3V logic, 5V peripherals) and fast turn-on requirement. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single-rail reset coordinator asserting reset only after 3.3V rail reaches valid level and holds for 150ms. Use Value: Push-pull output drives multiple downstream reset inputs simultaneously without signal degradation. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage-monitoring reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6326–26D | 2.63V fixed trip point (±1.5%), 140ms min reset pulse, SOT-23 only | Higher trip accuracy but narrower tolerance; requires tighter 3.3V regulation | Select when system VCC stability exceeds ±2% and board space favors SOT-23-only fit |
| TPS3808G18 | 1.8V adjustable trip via external resistor divider; 200ms default delay; open-drain output | Requires external components for trip setting; needs pull-up for active-high logic | Choose when flexible trip voltage or programmable delay is required, accepting added BOM complexity |
Compared with MAX6326–26D and TPS3808G18, the DS1817-20 provides factory-trimmed 20% tolerance optimized for unregulated 3.0V rails, eliminates external components, and offers direct TO-92 compatibility-making it ideal for cost-driven, high-volume industrial controls where absolute trip precision is secondary to robustness and simplicity.

FAQ
What is the exact VCC trip point range for DS1817-20?
The DS1817-20 has a factory-trimmed VCC trip point ranging from 2.47V (minimum) to 2.64V (maximum) at 25°C, corresponding to a 20% tolerance centered on a nominal 3.0V supply. This range is specified across the full operating temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and accounts for initial tolerance plus temperature drift.
Does DS1817-20 require an external pull-up resistor on the RST pin?
No. The DS1817-20 features a push-pull active-high output stage capable of sourcing up to 350µA and sinking up to 10mA. This eliminates the need for an external pull-up resistor, simplifying design and reducing component count compared to open-drain reset supervisors.
Can DS1817-20 be used with a 3.3V supply?
Yes - the DS1817-20 operates over VCC = 0.0V to 5.5V and is fully compatible with 3.3V systems. However, its 20% trip point (2.47V–2.64V) is optimized for 3.0V nominal rails; using it on 3.3V may result in early reset assertion before actual brown-out occurs in some designs.
What is the guaranteed minimum reset pulse width for DS1817-20 after VCC recovery?
The DS1817-20 guarantees a minimum reset pulse width of 100ms, with a typical value of 150ms and maximum of 250ms after VCC returns to within its trip window. This timing is internally generated and independent of VCC slew rate or external capacitance.
Which packages are available for DS1817-20?
The DS1817-20 is offered in both TO-92 (3-pin through-hole) and SOT-23 (3-pin surface-mount) packages. Pin assignments are identical across both variants: Pin 1 = RST, Pin 2 = VCC, Pin 3 = GND. Mechanical drawings are available on the manufacturer's website.
