Product details
Overview
DS1836DS-20+ from Maxim Integrated is a dual-supply microprocessor supervisory IC with integrated power switch, precision voltage monitoring, and non-maskable interrupt (NMI) generation. It monitors VCC for 5V/3.3V systems, asserts reset at 2.67–2.80V trip point, maintains reset for 350ms after recovery, switches VOUT between VCC and VBAT, and triggers NMI when IN drops below 1.15–1.35V - used in PIC-based embedded systems requiring battery backup and early power-fail warning.
For engineers reviewing the DS1836DS-20+ datasheet, DS1836DS-20+ pinout, DS1836DS-20+ application, or DS1836DS-20+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.72V typical VCC reset threshold, 350ms reset timeout, push-pull RST output, open-drain NMI with external pull-up, and dual-supply switching behavior specific to DS1836C/D variants.
Technical Context
The DS1836DS-20+ implements a precision bandgap-referenced comparator for VCC monitoring and IN sense input, with hysteresis built into its power-switch thresholds (VCCRTP − VCCFTP ≈ 0.1V). Its reset logic is asynchronous and asserted during power-up, brownout, and transient dips - independent of clock or software.
As a DS1836C/D variant, it operates with 3.3V nominal supply, switches VOUT from VBAT to VCC at 2.80V (rising), and reverts to VBAT at 2.65V (falling); the RST output uses a CMOS push-pull structure enabling valid state down to 0V VCC when externally pulled down, unlike open-drain alternatives.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Reset Threshold | 2.67–2.80V (typ. 2.72V); ensures reliable reset assertion before 3.3V system logic fails |
| Reset Timeout | 200–500ms (typ. 350ms); guarantees MCU initialization completes after power recovery |
| VCC-to-VBAT Switch Point | Falling: 2.60–2.70V (typ. 2.65V); prevents premature battery switchover during brief dips |
| VBAT-to-VCC Switch Point | Rising: 2.70–2.80V (typ. 2.75V); avoids oscillation near threshold with built-in 0.1V hysteresis |
| IN Sense Trip Voltage | 1.15–1.35V (typ. 1.25V); enables customizable early-warning detection via resistor divider |
| Operating Temp Range | −40°C to +85°C; supports industrial-grade embedded deployment without derating |
| Supply Current | 30–50μA at 3.6V; minimizes quiescent load on backup battery during extended hold-up |
Pinout & Package
DS1836DS-20+ is available in 8-pin SOIC (150-mil width) package with gull-wing leads, RoHS-compliant, and rated for surface-mount reflow assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Main power supply input | Primary 3.3V supply rail; monitored for reset and used as VOUT source above 2.75V |
| VBAT | Battery backup input | Secondary supply; powers VOUT when VCC falls below 2.65V, with <0.1μA leakage |
| NC | No-connect terminal | Internally unconnected; must be left floating or tied to GND per layout best practice |
| VOUT | Switched power output | Delivers regulated power from VCC or VBAT - no external regulation needed |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return for all analog and digital circuitry; requires low-impedance PCB plane |
| IN | High-impedance sense input | Monitors external voltage via resistor divider; trips NMI at 1.25V with ±0.1V tolerance |
| NMI | Open-drain non-maskable interrupt | Asserts low on early power loss; requires 10kΩ pull-up to VCC or VOUT for logic-high default |
| RST | CMOS push-pull reset output | Drives active-low reset to MCU; holds valid state even if VCC collapses to 0V with 100kΩ pull-down |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-supply power switching | Automatically selects VCC or VBAT for VOUT based on real-time voltage comparison - eliminates manual switchover circuitry |
| Precision 1.25V internal reference | Enables accurate, temperature-stable NMI triggering across −40°C to +85°C without external components |
| 350ms programmable reset timeout | Guarantees sufficient time for power stabilization and MCU boot sequence before release |
| Push-pull RST with 0V VCC support | Allows reset assertion integrity even during full main-supply collapse - critical for safe shutdown |
| Low 30–50μA operating current | Extends battery life in always-on backup mode; reduces thermal load in compact enclosures |

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 function; only RST output (no NMI or VOUT) | Suitable for basic reset-only use cases without battery backup or early-warning capability | Select when system uses separate battery management and only requires guaranteed reset assertion |
| TPS3808G33 | 3.3V fixed threshold; push-pull RST; no VOUT switching or NMI output; 200ms min reset timeout | Designed for TI ecosystem MCUs; lacks dual-supply interface and sense-input flexibility | Prefer when footprint compatibility with TPS38xx family is required and NMI/VOUT features are unused |
Compared with MAX6326–26D and TPS3808G33, DS1836DS-20+ uniquely integrates power switching, NMI generation, and precise 2.72V reset in one 8-pin SOIC - reducing component count and enabling predictive shutdown, whereas alternatives require external circuitry for equivalent functionality.

FAQ
What is the exact VCC reset threshold voltage for DS1836DS-20+?
The DS1836DS-20+ has a guaranteed VCC reset threshold of 2.67V (min) to 2.80V (max), with a typical value of 2.72V at −40°C to +85°C. This threshold is factory-trimmed and temperature-compensated, making DS1836DS-20+ suitable for 3.3V systems where reliable brownout detection below nominal rail is essential.
Does DS1836DS-20+ support operation with 0V on VCC?
Yes - DS1836DS-20+ features a push-pull RST output that maintains a valid logic state even when VCC collapses to 0V, provided a 100kΩ pull-down resistor is connected from RST to GND. This ensures deterministic reset assertion during complete main-supply failure, a capability confirmed in the DS1836DS-20+ datasheet Figure 5.
How does the NMI function work in DS1836DS-20+?
The NMI output in DS1836DS-20+ is an open-drain signal triggered when the voltage at the IN pin falls below 1.25V (±0.1V). It provides early power-fail warning - typically 1–10μs before RST asserts - allowing firmware to save critical data. DS1836DS-20+ requires a 10kΩ pull-up to VCC or VOUT for proper NMI logic levels.
What is the difference between DS1836DS-20+ and DS1836DS-10+?
DS1836DS-20+ and DS1836DS-10+ are both DS1836C/D variants but differ in VCC reset threshold: DS1836DS-20+ specifies 2.67–2.80V (typ. 2.72V), while DS1836DS-10+ specifies 2.80–2.97V (typ. 2.88V). This allows designers to select tighter or looser brownout margins depending on system noise immunity and supply regulation quality - both share identical pinout, NMI, and power-switch behavior.
Can DS1836DS-20+ be used with 5V systems?
No - DS1836DS-20+ is a DS1836C/D variant optimized for 3.3V operation, with VCC trip points centered at ~2.72V and switching thresholds at 2.65V/2.75V. For 5V systems, DS1836AS-20+ or DS1836BS-20+ (trip ~4.63V) must be used. Using DS1836DS-20+ on 5V violates its recommended operating conditions and will prevent correct reset assertion.
