The Maxim DS1233A-15 is a Supervisor IC.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. When an out-of-tolerance condition is detected, an internal power-fail signal is generated which forces reset to the active state. 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.
