Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated DS1833-5+

Overview

DS1833-5+ from Maxim Integrated (now Analog Devices) is a precision 5V microprocessor supervisory circuit with active-high reset, 5% VCC trip point tolerance, 350 ms reset timeout, and internal 5 kΩ pull-up resistor. It monitors 5V power supplies in embedded controllers and ensures reliable power-on reset sequencing for microcontrollers in industrial control systems.

For engineers reviewing the DS1833-5+ datasheet, DS1833-5+ pinout, DS1833-5+ application, or DS1833-5+ equivalent, key selection criteria include VCC trip accuracy (4.5–4.74 V), guaranteed reset pulse width (250–450 ms), operating temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), and TO-92/SOT-223 package compatibility.

Technical Context

The DS1833-5+ integrates a temperature-compensated voltage reference and comparator to detect VCC out-of-tolerance conditions relative to its 5% threshold (4.5 V min, 4.74 V max). It asserts an active-high RST signal during power failure and holds it for ≥250 ms after VCC recovery.

Its internal 5 kΩ pull-up eliminates external components for open-drain reset signaling, and its 1.5–2 mA supply current supports low-power embedded operation. The device operates across –40°C to +85°C without external trimming or calibration.

Key Specifications

Pinout & Package

DS1833-5+ is available in TO-92 (3-pin) and SOT-223 (4-pin) packages. The SOT-223 variant includes an additional ground pin (Pin 4) for improved thermal and noise performance.

FAQ

What is the exact VCC trip voltage range for DS1833-5+?

The DS1833-5+ has a guaranteed VCC trip point range of 4.5 V (minimum) to 4.74 V (maximum) at +25°C, corresponding to its 5% tolerance specification for nominal 5 V supplies. This range is maintained across the full operating temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) due to its internal temperature-compensated voltage reference. The DS1833-5+ uses this threshold to assert reset when VCC falls below the lower limit and release it only after VCC rises above the upper limit and remains stable.

Does DS1833-5+ require an external pull-up resistor on the RST pin?

No, the DS1833-5+ includes an internal pull-up resistor of 3.75–6.25 kΩ, eliminating the need for an external component on the RST output. Its push-pull output architecture actively drives high or low without relying on external biasing. This feature simplifies design and reduces BOM count-particularly valuable in space-constrained or high-volume industrial applications where the DS1833-5+ is commonly deployed.

What is the reset timeout behavior of DS1833-5+ during power-up?

Upon power-up, the DS1833-5+ asserts an active-high reset signal for a guaranteed minimum of 250 ms and a maximum of 450 ms after VCC crosses the trip threshold and stabilizes within tolerance. The typical timeout is 350 ms, ensuring sufficient time for both the 5 V supply and connected microcontroller to achieve stable operation before reset release. This behavior is intrinsic to the DS1833-5+ and does not require external timing components.

Can DS1833-5+ be used with 3.3 V microcontrollers?

The DS1833-5+ is designed exclusively for 5 V supply monitoring and has a fixed 5% trip point centered at 5 V (4.5–4.74 V). While its RST output is CMOS-compatible and can interface with 3.3 V logic inputs (provided VCC = 5 V), it cannot supervise a 3.3 V rail. For 3.3 V systems, alternatives like the DS1833-33 or TPS3808G33 are appropriate. The DS1833-5+ must be powered from and monitor a 5 V source.

What package options are available for DS1833-5+?

The DS1833-5+ is offered in two industry-standard packages: TO-92 (3-pin through-hole) and SOT-223 (4-pin surface-mount). The SOT-223 variant adds a second ground pin (Pin 4) for enhanced thermal performance and reduced ground impedance. Both packages share identical electrical specifications and pin functions for Pins 1–3 (GND, RST, VCC), enabling direct layout migration between versions where board space or assembly method permits.
