PIN 2 RESET
PIN 3 VCC
PIN 4 GROUND (SOT-223 ONLY)
DESCRIPTION
The DS1233 EconoReset monitors two vital conditions for a microprocessor: power supply and external
override. A precision temperature-compensated reference and comparator circuit are used to monitor the
status of the power supply (VCC). When an out-of-tolerance condition is detected, an internal power-fail
signal is generated which forces reset to the active state. When VCC returns to an in-tolerance condition,
the reset signal is kept in the active state for approximately 350ms to allow the power supply and
processor to stabilize. The second function of the DS1233 is pushbutton reset control. The DS1233
debounces a pushbutton closure and will generate a 350ms reset pulse upon release.
OPERATION — POWER MONITOR
The DS1233 provides the functions of detecting out-of-tolerance power supply conditions and warning a
processor-based system of impending power failure. When VCC is detected as out-of-tolerance, as
defined by the tolerance of the part selected, the RST signal is asserted. On power-up, RST is kept active
for approximately 350ms after the power supply has reached the selected tolerance. This allows the power
supply and microprocessor to stabilize before RST is released.

OPERATION — PUSHBUTTON RESET
The DS1233 provides for a pushbutton switch to be connected to the RST output pin. When the DS1233
is not in a reset cycle, it continuously monitors the RST signal for a low going edge. If an edge is
detected, the DS1233 will debounce the switch by pulling the RST line low. After the internal timer has
expired, the DS1233 will continue to monitor the RST line. If the line is still low, the DS1233 will
continue to monitor the line looking for a rising edge. Upon detecting a release, the DS1233 will force the
RST line low and hold it low for 350ms.
NOTE:
For proper operation with an external pushbutton, a capacitor between 100pF and 0.01mF must be
connected between RST and ground. In applications where additional reset current is required, a
minimum capacitance of 500pF should be used, along with a parallel external pull-up resistor of
1kW minimum.
