Product details
Overview
DS1831B+ from Maxim Integrated is a multisupply voltage monitor IC that simultaneously supervises 5V and 3.3V power rails plus two user-configurable analog sense inputs (IN1/IN2), delivers open-drain 5V and 3.3V reset outputs with selectable 10ms/100ms/1s delays, and features a dedicated master pushbutton status output (PBST) for last-reset event tracking - used in industrial control systems requiring reliable multi-rail power sequencing and manual reset auditability.
For engineers reviewing the DS1831B+ datasheet, DS1831B+ pinout, DS1831B+ application, or DS1831B+ equivalent, this page provides verified functional specifications, validated pin roles, confirmed tolerance and delay configuration logic, and real-world use cases for dual-supply monitoring with pushbutton status feedback - critical for BOM validation and system-level reset architecture design.
Technical Context
The DS1831B+ uses an internal 1.25V temperature-compensated bandgap reference to compare IN5V, IN3.3V, IN1, and IN2 against programmable trip thresholds. Tolerance selection (5%/10%/20% for 3.3V; 5%/10%/15% for 5V) is set via TOL5V/TOL3.3V pin states at power-up, while reset hold times (10ms/100ms/1s) are configured by TD5V/TD3.3V logic levels.
Internal power is sourced from the higher of IN5V or IN3.3V (≥1.0V required for operation; ≥1.5V needed for accurate monitoring). The PBST output is an open-drain status flag that remains low after a master pushbutton reset until cleared by any subsequent non-master reset event - enabling deterministic reset source identification in field-deployed systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Inputs | IN5V (1.0–5.5V) and IN3.3V (1.0–5.5V); device draws power from higher rail - enables operation during asymmetric brownout conditions. |
| Reset Outputs | RST5V and RST3.3V, both open-drain, active-low; support external pull-ups to system VCC - ensures compatibility with mixed-voltage logic domains. |
| Trip Accuracy | IN5V trip: 4.00–4.75V (configurable); IN3.3V trip: 2.47–3.15V (configurable); ±100mV max deviation over -40°C to +85°C - guarantees robust margin against supply ripple. |

| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded applications without derating. |
| Package | 16-pin DIP (300mil) - through-hole mounting for prototyping, legacy board replacement, and high-reliability mechanical retention. |
Pinout & Package
DS1831B+ is supplied in a 16-pin plastic DIP package (300mil width), with 0.3-inch row spacing and standard through-hole footprint compatible with IPC-7351B DIP-16_TH_300.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 IN3.3V | 3.3V supply input | Primary power source or secondary supply rail; internal bias derived from higher of IN5V/IN3.3V - must be ≥1.0V for basic operation. |
| 2 RST3.3V | 3.3V reset output | Open-drain active-low signal; requires external pull-up; holds low for configured time after IN3.3V undervoltage or MPBRST activation. |
| 3 TOL3.3V | Tolerance select for 3.3V rail | Logic level sets trip threshold: IN3.3V = 5%, GND = 10%, float = 20% - configures hysteresis and noise immunity at power-up only. |
| 4 TD3.3V | Time-delay select for 3.3V reset | Logic level selects hold time: GND = 10ms, float = 100ms, VCC = 1000ms - determines minimum reset assertion duration post-fault recovery. |
| 5 PBST | Pushbutton status output | Open-drain flag; low only after MPBRST event and remains low until next non-MPBRST reset - enables firmware-based root-cause analysis of reset events. |
| 6 NMI1 | Non-maskable interrupt 1 | Open-drain output triggered when IN1 falls below 1.25V reference; pulses low ≥10µs - used for upstream voltage fault detection or custom sensor alerts. |
| 7 NMI2 | Non-maskable interrupt 2 | Open-drain output triggered when IN2 falls below 1.25V reference; includes 100µV hysteresis - supports dual independent analog monitoring paths. |
| 8 MPBRST | Master pushbutton reset input | Active-low manual reset; internally pulled up to higher of IN5V/IN3.3V via 100kΩ - forces all RST/NMI outputs active when asserted ≥20µs. |
| 9 IN5V | 5V supply input | Primary or secondary supply rail; powers internal circuitry if > IN3.3V; must be ≥1.0V for device functionality. |
| 10 RST5V | 5V reset output | Open-drain active-low signal; synchronized to IN5V fault detection and MPBRST; supports external pull-up to 5V or 3.3V domain. |
| 11 TOL5V | Tolerance select for 5V rail | Logic level sets trip threshold: IN5V = 5%, GND = 10%, float = 15% - defines voltage margin before reset assertion. |
| 12 TD5V | Time-delay select for 5V reset | Logic level selects hold time: GND = 10ms, float = 100ms, VCC = 1000ms - decouples 5V subsystem stabilization timing from 3.3V behavior. |
| 13 PBRST5V | 5V-specific pushbutton input | Active-low manual reset for RST5V only; internally pulled up to IN5V via 100kΩ - enables targeted 5V subsystem reset without affecting 3.3V domain. |
| 14 IN1 | User-configurable sense input 1 | Monitored against 1.25V reference; supports resistor-divider scaling for custom trip points (e.g., 11.5V via R1/R2 network) - extends supervision beyond fixed rails. |
| 15 IN2 | User-configurable sense input 2 | Monitored against same 1.25V reference; independent of IN1; enables dual-point analog supervision (e.g., battery voltage + auxiliary supply). |
| 16 GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all inputs, outputs, and internal circuitry - must be low-impedance connection to avoid trip point drift. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-rail reset supervision | Independent 5V and 3.3V monitoring with separate tolerance and delay configuration - eliminates need for discrete supervisors per rail. |
| Master pushbutton status (PBST) | Dedicated open-drain output that latches MPBRST origin - removes requirement for external flip-flops or GPIO polling to distinguish manual vs. power-fault resets. |
| Configurable trip tolerances | Three tolerance options per rail (5%/10%/20% for 3.3V; 5%/10%/15% for 5V) set by simple pin strapping - avoids firmware or EEPROM configuration overhead. |
| Programmable reset hold times | 10ms/100ms/1s delays per rail via TD pin logic levels - supports staggered power-up sequencing across heterogeneous subsystems. |
| Two analog sense inputs (IN1/IN2) | Referenced to precision 1.25V bandgap; supports resistor-divider scaling for custom voltage thresholds - replaces external comparators in battery-backed or auxiliary rail monitoring. |
| Robust noise immunity | 100µV comparator hysteresis and 2µs minimum pulse rejection - prevents false NMI generation from supply transients or EMI. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar multisupply monitoring applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS1831BS+ | Same functionality and pinout, but in 16-pin SOIC (150mil) surface-mount package - no through-hole mounting support. | Preferred for automated PCB assembly and space-constrained designs; not suitable for hand-soldered prototypes or legacy DIP sockets. | Select DS1831BS+ only when board layout mandates SOIC footprint and reflow compatibility is required. |
| MAX6369ESA+ | Single 3.3V supervisor with watchdog and manual reset; lacks dual-rail monitoring, IN1/IN2 inputs, and PBST output - no direct replacement for multi-supply oversight. | Applicable only for 3.3V-only systems requiring watchdog timeout; cannot replace DS1831B+ in 5V+3.3V architectures without adding external components. | Choose MAX6369ESA+ only for cost-sensitive, single-rail applications where PBST and dual-supply supervision are unnecessary. |
Compared with DS1831BS+, the DS1831B+ offers identical electrical behavior but enables through-hole assembly and socket-based testing; compared with MAX6369ESA+, it delivers full dual-rail supervision, two analog sense channels, and unique pushbutton origin tracking - making it irreplaceable in systems requiring comprehensive, auditable power management.

FAQ
What is the function of the PBST pin on the DS1831B+?
The PBST pin on the DS1831B+ is an open-drain pushbutton status output that asserts low only after a master pushbutton reset (MPBRST) event and remains low until cleared by any subsequent non-MPBRST reset. This provides unambiguous firmware-accessible identification of reset origin, distinguishing operator-initiated resets from power-fault events - a capability absent in DS1831 and DS1831A variants. The DS1831B+ PBST output requires an external pull-up resistor (typically 10kΩ) to maintain a valid high state when inactive.
How does the DS1831B+ determine its internal power source?
The DS1831B+ draws internal operating current from the higher of the IN5V or IN3.3V supply inputs - whichever voltage exceeds the other at any given time. This architecture ensures continuous operation even during asymmetric brownout conditions where one rail collapses before the other. Both IN5V and IN3.3V must remain ≥1.0V for basic functionality, and ≥1.5V for accurate voltage monitoring. The DS1831B+ does not require a separate VCC pin, simplifying power routing and improving fault tolerance in multi-supply systems.
Can the DS1831B+ monitor voltages other than 5V and 3.3V?
Yes, the DS1831B+ includes two dedicated analog sense inputs - IN1 and IN2 - each referenced to an internal 1.25V precision bandgap. By using external resistor dividers, these pins can monitor arbitrary voltages (e.g., 12V battery, 24V auxiliary supply) and trigger NMI1 or NMI2 interrupts when thresholds are breached. For example, a 11.5V trip point can be achieved with R1 = 820kΩ and R2 = 100kΩ. This capability extends the DS1831B+ beyond fixed-rail supervision into custom power-domain monitoring without adding external comparators.
What are the valid configurations for reset time delay on the DS1831B+?
The DS1831B+ supports three reset hold-time configurations per monitored rail (5V and 3.3V), selected independently via TD5V and TD3.3V pins: logic low (GND) yields 10ms minimum delay, floating yields 100ms minimum delay, and logic high (VCC) yields 1000ms minimum delay. These delays begin after the associated supply returns to tolerance and ensure sufficient stabilization time before releasing the reset. All delay settings are latched at power-up and cannot be changed dynamically - requiring hardware-level design decisions during schematic capture for the DS1831B+.
How does the DS1831B+ differ from the DS1831A+ and standard DS1831+?
The DS1831B+ replaces the 3.3V pushbutton reset input (PBRST3.3V) found in the standard DS1831+ with a dedicated PBST (pushbutton status) output, enabling reset-origin tracking. In contrast, the DS1831A+ replaces the master pushbutton and one comparator with a watchdog timer (WDS/ST) and watchdog status output - sacrificing PBST and manual reset flexibility for software supervision. Thus, the DS1831B+ is uniquely suited for applications requiring auditable manual intervention, while DS1831A+ targets firmware-watchdog use cases and DS1831+ serves general dual-rail monitoring without advanced diagnostics.
