Product details
Overview
DS1831AS from Maxim Integrated is a multisupply voltage monitor and reset IC with integrated watchdog timer, designed to supervise 5V and 3.3V power rails plus two user-configurable sense inputs (IN1/IN2). It provides open-drain RST5V and RST3.3V outputs with selectable reset delays (10ms/100ms/1s), precision 1.25V temperature-compensated reference, and operates from −40°C to +85°C in 16-pin SOIC (150mil) package. Used in embedded systems requiring robust power sequencing and software fault detection.
For engineers reviewing the DS1831AS datasheet, DS1831AS pinout, DS1831AS application, or DS1831AS equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-supply monitoring capability, watchdog strobe input (ST) and status output (WDS), tolerance-selectable trip points (5%/10%/20%), and compatibility with manual reset sequencing via PBRST5V/PBRST3.3V and MPBRST inputs.
Technical Context
The DS1831AS implements two independent voltage comparators for IN5V and IN3.3V, each with configurable tolerance (via TOL5V/TOL3.3V) and reset delay (via TD5V/TD3.3V), plus two additional referenced comparators (IN1/IN2) tied to a 1.25V bandgap reference. Its internal power is drawn from the higher of IN5V or IN3.3V, requiring ≥1.0V for basic operation and ≥1.5V for accurate monitoring.
It integrates a non-disableable watchdog timer with timeout determined by TDWD (10ms/100ms/1s), triggered by absence of ST transitions, and asserts WDS low on timeout. All reset and NMI outputs are open-drain, requiring external pull-ups, and support pushbutton override with internal 100kΩ pull-ups on PBRST/MPBRST/ST pins.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar multisupply monitoring applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6369ESA+ | Single 3.3V/5V monitor with fixed 200ms reset delay; no watchdog or dual sense inputs | Lacks IN1/IN2 monitoring and ST/WDS watchdog functionality; simpler BOM for basic reset-only use | Select when only basic dual-rail reset is needed without watchdog or extra voltage monitoring |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single 3.3V supervisor with adjustable delay (1ms–10s); no 5V monitoring, no watchdog, no NMI outputs | Designed for single-rail systems; lacks multisupply coordination and interrupt generation capability | Choose for cost-sensitive 3.3V-only applications where full DS1831AS feature set is unnecessary |
Compared with MAX6369ESA+ and TPS3808G33DBVR, the DS1831AS uniquely combines dual-rail supervision, two additional sense inputs, and an integrated watchdog in one SOIC package-enabling consolidated system health monitoring without external components or layout changes.

FAQ
What is the function of the TDWD pin on the DS1831AS?
The TDWD pin on the DS1831AS selects the watchdog timeout period: grounded = 10ms minimum, floating = 100ms minimum, connected to VCC = 1000ms minimum. This pin directly configures the ST-input watchdog timer that pulses WDS low upon timeout. The DS1831AS watchdog cannot be disabled, and TDWD state is sampled at power-up only.
Does the DS1831AS require external pull-up resistors on its reset outputs?
Yes, the DS1831AS RST5V and RST3.3V outputs are open-drain and require external pull-up resistors to establish valid high-level logic states. A typical value is 10kΩ connected to the respective supply rail (5V or 3.3V). Pull-ups are also required on WDS, NMI1, and NMI2 outputs for proper operation.
How does the DS1831AS determine its internal power source?
The DS1831AS draws internal operating current from the higher voltage level between IN5V and IN3.3V. At least one of these inputs must exceed 1.0V for basic device operation, and ≥1.5V is required for accurate voltage monitoring. If both fall below 1.5V, all outputs remain active low regardless of input conditions.
Can the DS1831AS monitor voltages other than 5V and 3.3V?
Yes, the DS1831AS includes two additional sense inputs (IN1 and IN2), each compared to a precision 1.25V internal reference. Using external resistor dividers, users can configure custom trip points-for example, a 11.5V threshold on IN1-enabling supervision of auxiliary rails like 12V, battery, or isolated supplies.
What is the difference between DS1831AS and DS1831S?
The DS1831AS adds a watchdog timer (with ST input and WDS output) and replaces the DS1831S's master pushbutton status (PBST) functionality. Both share the same 16-pin SOIC (150mil) package and dual-supply monitoring features, but only DS1831AS provides hardware-based software hang detection via the watchdog circuit.
