Product details
Overview
DS1836BS-10 from Maxim Integrated is a 3.3V microprocessor supervisory circuit with integrated power-switching, precision voltage monitoring, and non-maskable interrupt (NMI) generation. It monitors VCC for out-of-tolerance conditions, asserts RST for 350ms after recovery, switches VOUT between VCC and VBAT at 2.6V/2.8V 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 DS1836BS-10 datasheet, DS1836BS-10 pinout, DS1836BS-10 application, or DS1836BS-10 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 2.8V VCC-to-VBAT switch threshold, 1.25V IN trip point, push-pull RST output, -40°C to +85°C operation, and compatibility with 3.3V microcontroller reset timing requirements.
Technical Context
The DS1836BS-10 implements a dual-threshold comparator architecture for VCC monitoring: it initiates power switching when VCC crosses 2.8V (rise) or 2.6V (fall), and asserts reset when VCC falls outside its 2.88V (typ) trip window. Its internal bandgap reference enables stable 1.25V sensing at the IN pin across temperature.
It integrates three independent functions: (1) power-on/power-fail reset with 350ms timeout, (2) automatic VCC/VBAT switchover with hysteresis, and (3) high-impedance NMI trigger via external resistor divider - all operating from a single 3.3V supply with ≤50μA typical ICC.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Trip Point | 2.88V (typ), ±0.07V tolerance - defines precise 3.3V supply fault detection threshold |
| VCC-to-VBAT Switch Threshold | Rising: 2.80V (min), falling: 2.60V (min) - provides 200mV hysteresis for clean power-source handoff |
| IN Trip Voltage | 1.25V (typ), ±0.10V - enables configurable early-warning sensing of higher-voltage rails via resistor divider |
| RST Active Duration | 350ms (typ) after VCC recovery - ensures microcontroller reset hold time meets PIC and ARM boot requirements |
| Operating Current | 30–50μA (typ) at 3.6V - supports ultra-low-power battery-backed operation |
| Temperature Range | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded control environments |
| Output Type | CMOS push-pull RST, open-drain NMI - eliminates external pull-up for RST; requires 10kΩ pull-up for NMI |
Pinout & Package
DS1836BS-10 is available in an 8-pin SOIC (150-mil width) surface-mount package.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Main power supply input | 3.3V nominal input; monitored for reset and switch control |
| VBAT | Battery backup supply input | Provides VOUT source when VCC drops below 2.6V |
| NC | No-connect terminal | Not internally bonded; must be left unconnected |
| VOUT | Switched power output | Delivers regulated power from VCC or VBAT - not a regulator, but a low-loss analog switch |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return for all analog and digital functions |
| IN | External sense input | High-impedance comparator input referenced to 1.25V internal bandgap |
| NMI | Non-maskable interrupt output | Open-drain signal asserted when IN < 1.25V; requires external pull-up |
| RST | Reset output | CMOS push-pull active-low reset signal with guaranteed 350ms pulse width |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-supply power switching | Automatically routes VOUT from VCC to VBAT at 2.6V fall threshold, eliminating need for external diode-OR or load switches |
| Programmable early-warning NMI | 1.25V precision comparator on IN pin enables system-level shutdown before VCC collapse - extends safe shutdown window by >10ms vs. reset-only solutions |
| Guaranteed reset timing | 350ms RST assertion after VCC recovery ensures reliable initialization of 3.3V MCUs without external RC timing components |
| Low-quiescent current operation | ≤50μA typical ICC at 3.6V allows continuous supervision in battery-critical applications such as RTC backup circuits |
| Industrial temperature support | Full functionality over -40°C to +85°C enables deployment in automotive body controllers and industrial PLC I/O modules |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6326–26D | Fixed 2.63V reset threshold; no power-switching or NMI functionality | Suitable only for basic reset generation - lacks VCC/VBAT switchover and early-warning interrupt | Select when only reset supervision is needed and dual-supply operation is handled externally |
| TPS3808G125 | Adjustable reset threshold (via external resistor); no integrated power switch or NMI output | Requires external circuitry for battery switchover and early-warning sensing | Choose for flexible threshold tuning in systems where power path is managed separately |
Compared with MAX6326–26D and TPS3808G125, the DS1836BS-10 uniquely integrates reset, power switching, and NMI in one 8-pin SOIC - reducing board area by ~40% and eliminating 3–5 discrete components in dual-supply PIC systems.

FAQ
What is the exact VCC reset threshold for DS1836BS-10?
The DS1836BS-10 has a specified RST VCC trip point of 2.80V (min), 2.88V (typ), and 2.97V (max) - calibrated for 3.3V systems. This threshold is factory-trimmed and temperature-compensated using an internal bandgap reference, ensuring consistent brown-out detection across -40°C to +85°C without external calibration.
Does DS1836BS-10 support true 0V VCC operation for RST output?
Yes - the DS1836BS-10 RST output uses a push-pull structure that maintains valid logic levels even when VCC drops to 0V, provided a 100kΩ pull-down resistor is connected from RST to GND. This feature ensures deterministic reset state during complete power loss, critical for preserving SRAM or RTC data in battery-backed systems.
How does the NMI function work on DS1836BS-10?
The DS1836BS-10 NMI output is an open-drain signal triggered when the voltage at the IN pin falls below 1.25V (typ). The IN pin is high-impedance and references an internal bandgap, allowing users to configure early-warning sensing of any DC rail - e.g., a 24V supply scaled via resistor divider - delivering NMI ≥10ms before RST activation.
What is the power-switching behavior of DS1836BS-10 between VCC and VBAT?
At power-up, DS1836BS-10 initially supplies VOUT from VBAT until VCC rises above 2.80V (min); then it switches to VCC. If VCC later falls below 2.60V (min), VOUT reverts to VBAT. The 200mV hysteresis prevents oscillation during marginal VCC conditions, and VOUT tracks the active supply minus ≤0.3V drop - no external MOSFETs required.
Is DS1836BS-10 pin-compatible with other DS1836 variants like DS1836AS-10?
No - DS1836BS-10 is not pin-compatible with DS1836AS-10. While both share identical pinouts and package, DS1836AS-10 uses 5V-specific thresholds (4.25V–4.50V trip), whereas DS1836BS-10 is optimized for 3.3V operation (2.80V–2.97V trip). Swapping them risks incorrect reset timing or failure to assert RST under actual 3.3V brown-out conditions.
