Product details
Overview
DS1836AS-5+ from Maxim Integrated is a 5V microprocessor supervisory circuit combining power-on reset, dual-supply power switching (VCC/VBAT), and non-maskable interrupt generation. It asserts reset for 350ms after VCC returns to tolerance, switches VOUT to battery at 3.8V, and triggers NMI when IN drops below 1.25V - used in PIC-based embedded systems with backup power requirements.
For engineers reviewing the DS1836AS-5+ datasheet, DS1836AS-5+ pinout, DS1836AS-5+ application, or DS1836AS-5+ equivalent, key selection criteria include VCC trip point (4.63V typ), 350ms reset timeout, push-pull RST output, NMI sensing capability, and 8-pin SOIC package compatibility with legacy DIP footprints.
Technical Context
The DS1836AS-5+ integrates three synchronized functions: precision voltage monitoring using an internal bandgap reference, automatic power-source switchover between VCC and VBAT, and early-warning NMI generation via high-impedance IN pin. Its reset assertion logic is temperature-compensated and immune to fast transients.
It operates across -40°C to +85°C with supply inputs from 1.2V to 5.5V, maintains valid RST output down to 0V VCC (via external pull-down), and supports dual-voltage systems requiring fail-safe brownout detection and graceful shutdown sequencing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Trip Point | 4.63V typical; ensures reliable reset activation during 5V supply brownout before critical logic fails |
| Reset Timeout | 350ms minimum; guarantees sufficient stabilization time for microcontroller startup and peripheral initialization |
| NMI Threshold | 1.25V on IN pin; enables user-configurable early warning of power loss using external resistor divider |
| Power Switch Threshold | VCC-to-VBAT switch at 3.8V; maintains uninterrupted VOUT during main supply collapse |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C; qualified for industrial-grade embedded control and automotive body electronics |
| Supply Current | 35–55μA at 5.5V; enables long-term battery-backed operation without significant drain |
| Output Type | Push-pull RST; eliminates need for external pull-up and supports direct CMOS input driving |
Pinout & Package
DS1836AS-5+ is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (150-mil) surface-mount package, pin-compatible with the through-hole 8-pin DIP variant. The package supports reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020 and has a maximum soldering temperature of 260°C for 10 seconds.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Main power supply input | 5V nominal input; monitored for out-of-tolerance condition to trigger reset and power switch |
| VBAT | Backup battery supply input | Provides continuous VOUT during VCC failure; leakage <0.1μA in off state |
| NC | No-connect terminal | Internally unconnected; must remain floating or tied to GND per layout guidelines |
| VOUT | Switched power output | Delivers regulated power from VCC or VBAT depending on real-time voltage comparison |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all analog and digital circuitry; requires low-impedance PCB connection |
| IN | High-impedance sense input | Monitors external voltage divider; trips NMI at 1.25V with ±0.1V tolerance over temperature |
| NMI | Open-drain non-maskable interrupt | Requires external 10kΩ pull-up; signals imminent power loss before RST assertion |
| RST | Push-pull reset output | Drives microcontroller reset pin directly; remains valid even if VCC falls to 0V (with 100kΩ pull-down) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Temperature-compensated voltage reference | Enables stable 4.63V VCC trip point across -40°C to +85°C without external calibration |
| Dual-supply power switching | Automatically selects highest valid source (VCC or VBAT) for VOUT, eliminating manual switchover circuitry |
| Early-warning NMI generation | Provides >10μs advance notice of power failure relative to RST assertion, enabling controlled data save |
| 0V-VCC reset validity | Push-pull RST output sustains logic-low state even when VCC = 0V, ensuring deterministic reset behavior |
| Low quiescent current | 55μA max ICC at 5.5V allows multi-year operation on coin-cell backup without capacity exhaustion |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX692AESA+ | Fixed 4.65V reset threshold; no NMI output; only VCC monitoring (no VBAT switchover) | Suitable for single-supply systems where backup power management is handled externally | Select when only basic reset supervision is needed and board space permits larger SO-8 footprint |
| TPS3823-50DBVR | 3.0V fixed threshold; open-drain RST; no power-switching or NMI functionality | Designed for low-voltage microcontrollers (e.g., MSP430) without battery backup requirements | Choose for cost-sensitive 3.3V designs where early-warning interrupt and dual-supply handoff are unnecessary |
Compared with MAX692AESA+ and TPS3823-50DBVR, the DS1836AS-5+ uniquely integrates reset, power switching, and NMI in one 8-pin SOIC - reducing BOM count by two ICs and enabling predictive shutdown in battery-backed systems.

FAQ
What is the exact VCC reset threshold voltage for DS1836AS-5+?
The DS1836AS-5+ has a guaranteed VCC reset threshold of 4.50V to 4.75V, with a typical value of 4.63V at 25°C. This 5V-specific trip point is factory-trimmed and temperature-compensated to maintain accuracy across the full -40°C to +85°C operating range, ensuring consistent reset behavior during brownout events without external adjustment.
Does DS1836AS-5+ support true 0V-VCC reset assertion?
Yes, DS1836AS-5+ supports valid RST output down to 0V VCC using its push-pull architecture. When VCC collapses, a 100kΩ pull-down resistor from RST to GND maintains a logic-low state, guaranteeing deterministic reset hold. This feature is explicitly validated in the datasheet Figure 5 and distinguishes DS1836AS-5+ from open-drain alternatives that lose output validity below ~1.2V.
How does the NMI function differ from the RST output in DS1836AS-5+?
The NMI output in DS1836AS-5+ provides early warning of impending power failure - triggering when the IN pin voltage drops below 1.25V - while RST activates later when VCC itself falls below 4.63V. NMI is open-drain and requires a 10kΩ pull-up; RST is push-pull and drives directly. This two-stage alert enables time-critical actions like EEPROM save before full reset occurs.
Can DS1836AS-5+ operate with both 3.3V and 5V supplies?
No, DS1836AS-5+ is specifically configured for 5V operation, as indicated by the "-5+" suffix and its 4.63V VCC trip point. For 3.3V systems, Maxim offers DS1836CS-3+ (2.88V trip) or DS1836DS-3+. Using DS1836AS-5+ on a 3.3V rail would prevent reset assertion during brownout, compromising system reliability.
What package options are available for DS1836AS-5+?
DS1836AS-5+ is supplied exclusively in an 8-pin SOIC (150-mil) surface-mount package, designated by the "S" in the part number. While the DS1836A family also includes through-hole DIP variants, the DS1836AS-5+ variant is not offered in DIP; its SOIC footprint matches industry-standard 150-mil SO-8 layouts and supports automated reflow assembly.
