Product details
Overview
DS1836B-10+ from Maxim Integrated is a 5V microprocessor supervisory circuit with power-switching and non-maskable interrupt (NMI) functions. It monitors VCC for out-of-tolerance conditions, asserts RST for 350ms after recovery, switches VOUT between VCC and VBAT at 3.8V/3.9V thresholds, and triggers NMI when IN drops below 1.25V - used in PIC-based embedded systems requiring dual-supply failover and early power-fail warning.
For engineers reviewing the DS1836B-10+ datasheet, DS1836B-10+ pinout, DS1836B-10+ application, or DS1836B-10+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4.25V–4.50V VCC reset trip point, 350ms reset timeout, push-pull RST output, battery switchover behavior, and NMI sensing capability at the IN pin.
Technical Context
The DS1836B-10+ integrates three core functions: precision voltage monitoring with temperature-compensated bandgap reference, automatic dual-supply power switching (VCC ↔ VBAT), and high-impedance sense-input-triggered NMI generation. Its reset logic uses hysteresis to avoid chatter during brownout, and the RST output remains active for 350ms after VCC returns to tolerance.
It operates across -40°C to +85°C, supports 1.2V–5.5V supply range, maintains valid outputs down to 1.2V on inputs (with optional pull-down for RST), and features CMOS-compatible push-pull RST and open-drain NMI outputs requiring external pull-up.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Reset Trip Point | 4.25V (min) to 4.50V (max); defines precise 5V system brownout detection threshold |
| Reset Timeout | 350ms (typical); ensures stable MCU initialization after power recovery |
| VCC-to-VBAT Switch Threshold | 3.80V–3.90V (falling); enables seamless backup power takeover before main supply collapse |
| IN Sense Trip Voltage | 1.15V–1.35V (typ 1.25V); allows user-configurable early-warning voltage monitoring via resistor divider |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +85°C; qualified for industrial-grade embedded environments |
| Supply Current | 30–50μA (at 3.6V); ultra-low quiescent draw for battery-backed operation |
| RST Output Type | CMOS push-pull; eliminates need for external pull-up and supports direct MCU reset input |
Pinout & Package
DS1836B-10+ is available in 8-pin SO (150mil) and 8-pin DIP (300mil) packages. Both share identical pin mapping and function assignment.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Main power supply input | Primary 5V supply rail; monitored for reset assertion and used as VOUT source above 3.9V |
| VBAT | Battery backup supply input | Secondary supply; powers VOUT when VCC falls below 3.8V |
| NC | No-connect terminal | Unbonded pin; must be left floating or tied to GND per layout guidelines |
| VOUT | Switched power output | Delivers power from VCC or VBAT depending on real-time supply status |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all analog and digital circuitry |
| IN | High-impedance sense input | Monitors external voltage divider; triggers NMI when voltage drops below 1.25V |
| NMI | Non-maskable interrupt output | Open-drain signal requiring external 10kΩ pull-up; alerts CPU of imminent power loss |
| RST | Reset output | Push-pull CMOS output; drives MCU reset line low for 350ms after VCC recovery |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-supply power switching | Automatically selects VCC or VBAT for VOUT based on real-time voltage thresholds (3.8V/3.9V), eliminating manual switchover circuitry |
| Temperature-compensated voltage reference | Stable 1.25V internal reference enables accurate, drift-free IN pin sensing across full -40°C to +85°C range |
| Programmable reset timeout | Fixed 350ms reset hold time ensures reliable microcontroller boot sequencing without external timing components |
| Early-warning NMI generation | Independent sense path triggers NMI before RST activation, providing critical time for controlled shutdown or data save |
| Low-power operation | 30–50μA typical supply current extends battery life in always-on backup configurations |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6326–T47D+ | Fixed 4.63V reset threshold; no power-switching or NMI functionality; SOT23-5 package | Suitable only for basic reset generation - lacks VOUT switching and IN-sense capability | Select if only reset supervision is needed and board space is constrained |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V fixed reset threshold; no battery switchover; open-drain RST; no NMI output | Designed for 3.3V-only systems; requires external circuitry for dual-supply management | Choose for cost-sensitive 3.3V designs where battery backup is handled separately |
Compared with MAX6326–T47D+ and TPS3808G33DBVR, DS1836B-10+ uniquely combines 5V reset supervision, automatic VCC/VBAT switchover, and dedicated NMI generation in a single 8-pin package - making it irreplaceable for applications requiring coordinated power failover and early-warning response.

FAQ
What is the exact VCC reset trip point for DS1836B-10+?
The DS1836B-10+ has a guaranteed VCC reset trip point of 4.25V (minimum) to 4.50V (maximum), with typical value 4.37V. This specification applies specifically to the "-10" variant and is validated across -40°C to +85°C. The DS1836B-10+ uses this threshold to detect 5V supply brownout and assert RST accordingly.
Does DS1836B-10+ support true 3.3V operation?
No - DS1836B-10+ is a 5V-specific variant. Its reset threshold (4.25V–4.50V) and power-switching thresholds (3.8V/3.9V) are optimized for 5V systems. For 3.3V operation, DS1836C-10+ or DS1836D-10+ variants are specified with 2.80V–2.97V trip points. DS1836B-10+ will not function correctly as a 3.3V supervisor.
How does the NMI function work on DS1836B-10+?
The NMI output on DS1836B-10+ is triggered when the voltage at the IN pin falls below 1.25V (1.15V–1.35V range). It uses an internal bandgap reference and high-impedance comparator, allowing flexible sensing via external resistor dividers. The DS1836B-10+ generates NMI asynchronously and independently of RST, providing early warning before reset activation.
Can DS1836B-10+ maintain RST output validity when VCC drops to 0V?
Yes - DS1836B-10+ supports RST validity down to 0V VCC when a 100kΩ pull-down resistor is connected from RST to GND (per Figure 5 in datasheet). This feature ensures the reset line remains asserted even during complete main supply loss, enabling reliable fallback to battery power. DS1836B-10+ implements this using its push-pull RST structure.
What package options are available for DS1836B-10+?
DS1836B-10+ is offered in two industry-standard packages: 8-pin SOIC (150mil width) and 8-pin PDIP (300mil width). Both packages share identical pinout and electrical characteristics. The "+" suffix indicates lead-free, RoHS-compliant packaging with NiPdAu lead finish, and both variants are fully interchangeable at the board level.
