Product details
Overview
DS1818R-20-U+ from Maxim Integrated is a 3.3V fixed-threshold supervisory IC with pushbutton reset capability, active-low open-drain reset output, 150ms reset timeout, and ±20% VCC trip tolerance. It monitors power supply integrity and provides automated microprocessor reset during brownout or power-up, used in embedded control systems requiring reliable power-on initialization.
For engineers reviewing the DS1818R-20-U+ datasheet, DS1818R-20-U+ pinout, DS1818R-20-U+ application, or DS1818R-20-U+ equivalent, key selection criteria include reset threshold accuracy, pushbutton debounce timing, quiescent current, operating temperature range, and SOT-23 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The DS1818R-20-U+ implements a precision temperature-compensated voltage reference and comparator to detect VCC deviations beyond its ±20% trip window (2.47V–2.64V at 3.3V nominal). Its internal logic asserts RST low for ≥100ms after VCC recovery, ensuring processor stabilization before release.
It supports dual reset initiation modes: automatic power-fail detection and manual pushbutton reset via the RST pin, with 1µs minimum button press detection and guaranteed 100–250ms post-release reset hold time. The open-drain output includes an internal 5.5kΩ pullup resistor, eliminating external components in many designs.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar supervisory IC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX809TRD29+T | Fixed 2.93V reset threshold; no pushbutton monitoring; 140ms reset timeout | Lacks manual reset capability; suited for simpler power-monitor-only use cases | Select when pushbutton functionality is unnecessary and tighter 2.93V threshold is preferred |
| TPS3808G12DBVR | Adjustable reset threshold (via external resistor); 200ms timeout; higher 12µA typical ICC | Requires external components for threshold setting; better for designs needing custom trip points | Choose when design flexibility outweighs BOM simplicity and DS1818R-20-U+'s integrated features |
Compared with MAX809TRD29+T and TPS3808G12DBVR, the DS1818R-20-U+ uniquely combines fixed ±20% trip accuracy, integrated pushbutton support, and internal pullup in SOT-23-reducing design effort for cost-sensitive industrial controllers where manual reset and tolerance margin are critical.

FAQ
What is the exact VCC trip voltage range for DS1818R-20-U+?
The DS1818R-20-U+ has a guaranteed VCC trip point range of 2.47V (minimum) to 2.64V (maximum), corresponding to ±20% tolerance around a nominal 3.3V supply. This specification is tested and validated across the full -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range and is defined in the DC Electrical Characteristics table of the official Maxim datasheet for DS1818R-20-U+.
Does DS1818R-20-U+ require an external pullup resistor on the RST pin?
No, DS1818R-20-U+ integrates a 5.5kΩ internal pullup resistor on the RST pin, eliminating the need for an external component in most applications. An external pullup may be added only if the load demands exceed the internal resistor's capability-such as when driving multiple inputs or longer traces-but this is not required for standard microprocessor reset interface per the DS1818R-20-U+ datasheet specifications.
How does the pushbutton reset function work on DS1818R-20-U+?
The DS1818R-20-U+ monitors the RST pin for low pulses: pulling RST below 0.4V for ≥1µs triggers a manual reset. Upon release, the DS1818R-20-U+ holds RST low for 100–250ms to ensure clean debounced reset assertion. This feature operates independently of VCC monitoring and is fully specified in the AC Electrical Characteristics section of the DS1818R-20-U+ datasheet.
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for DS1818R-20-U+?
The absolute maximum VCC rating for DS1818R-20-U+ is +7.0V, but recommended DC operating conditions specify VCC between 1.0V and 5.5V. Operation above 5.5V risks permanent damage and is outside guaranteed performance limits. All electrical characteristics-including trip point, reset timeout, and quiescent current-are validated only within the 1.0V–5.5V range per the DS1818R-20-U+ datasheet.
Is DS1818R-20-U+ compatible with TO-92 and SOT-23 packages interchangeably?
No-DS1818R-20-U+ is exclusively offered in the SOT-23-3 package, as indicated by the "U+" suffix and confirmed in Maxim's official ordering information. While the DS1818 family includes TO-92 variants (e.g., DS1818R-20+), the DS1818R-20-U+ designation specifies the SOT-23 variant with identical pinout but different mechanical dimensions and thermal characteristics.
