Maxim Integrated DS1233M-55+T&R Product Overview

The DS1233M-55+T&R from Maxim Integrated is a robust, high-precision microprocessor supervisory circuit that ensures reliable operation and system integrity. This component is designed to monitor the power supply voltage of digital systems, providing a critical function in the prevention of system errors that can arise from power surges, brownouts, and other voltage-related anomalies. As a part of Maxim Integrated's extensive line of supervisory circuits, the DS1233M-55+T&R offers a combination of features that make it ideal for a wide range of applications, including computers, controllers, intelligent instruments, and portable electronics.

With a nominal threshold voltage of 5.5 volts, the DS1233M-55+T&R actively monitors the VCC for an out-of-tolerance condition. When VCC falls below the minimum VTRIP point, the reset output is driven to an active state, signaling the processor to reset, thus safeguarding the system from unpredictable behavior. The reset signal remains active until VCC rises above the reset threshold, ensuring the system has stabilized before operation resumes.

This device is supplied in a tape and reel format (denoted by the T&R suffix), which facilitates automated pick-and-place manufacturing processes, making it highly suitable for mass production environments. The DS1233M-55+T&R comes in a compact surface-mount package, allowing for efficient use of PCB real estate, which is crucial in modern miniaturized electronic assemblies.

Key features of the DS1233M-55+T&R include:

• Accurate monitoring of 5V power-supply voltages
• Low power consumption, enhancing overall system efficiency
• Automatic reset generation when power supply falls below a preset threshold
• 200ms reset pulse width, which provides ample time for the system to stabilize
• Immunity to short VCC transients, preventing false triggering of the reset signal
• Temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, suitable for industrial applications

The DS1233M-55+T&R's reliability and performance make it an essential component for designers looking to enhance system stability and protect against data corruption due to power supply issues. With Maxim Integrated's reputation for quality and precision, this supervisory circuit is an excellent choice for mission-critical applications where consistent operation is paramount.
