DS1231S-50N

Supervisors Overview

The DS1231S-50N is a supervisory circuit power monitor manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. (formerly Maxim Integrated). It is housed in a 16-pin SOIC package and features an open-drain or open-collector output for a single channel. The device monitors power supply voltage to ensure system reliability.

Supervisors Feature Summary

• Provides continuous monitoring of power supply voltage levels
• Features an open-drain or open-collector output interface
• Designed as a dedicated supervisory circuit for power management

Supervisors Applications

• Microprocessor systems requiring power supervision
• Embedded controller applications
• General-purpose power supply monitoring circuits

Supervisors Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation, as the component history involves transitions between Maxim Integrated and Analog Devices Inc. Confirm that the specific suffix 'N' corresponds to the non-rohs or leaded variant if required by your assembly specifications. Ensure the datasheet matches the exact part number to avoid confusion with tape-and-reel variants like DS1231S-50+T&R.

Supervisors Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed-function power monitor with an open-drain output is required for a 16-pin surface-mount application. Consider the package constraints and the need for a single-channel supervision function. Verify compatibility with the target logic levels and voltage thresholds defined in the official specification sheet.

Supervisors Part Context

This component belongs to the DS1231 series of supervisory circuits. The series includes various models differentiated by output delay times and package types. The DS1231S-50N specifically denotes the SOIC package version within this family of power monitor integrated circuits.
