OPERATION
The DS1231 Power Monitor detects out-of-tolerance
power supply conditions and warns a processor-based
system of impending power failure. The main elements
of the DS1231 are illustrated in Figure 1. As shown, the
DS1231 actually has two comparators, one for monitor-
ing the input (Pin 1) and one for monitoring V

and RST (Pin 6) when V
as defined by TOL (Pin 3).
When TOL is connected to ground, the RST and RST
signals will become active as V
volts. When TOL is connected to V
signals become active as V
RST and RST signals are excellent control signals for a
microprocessor, as processing is stopped at the last
possible moments of valid V
RST are kept active for a minimum of 150 ms to allow the
power supply to stabilize (see Figure 2).
The comparator monitoring the input pin produces the
NMI signal (Pin 7) when the input threshold voltage

When the Mode pin is connected to ground, detection

rent allowing for connection to switched inputs, such as
a UL-approved opto-isolator. The flexibility of the input
pin allows for detection of power loss at the earliest point
in a power supply system, maximizing the amount of
time allotted between NMI and RST. On power-up, NMI
is released as soon as the input threshold voltage (V

APPLICATION – MODE PIN
CONNECTED TO V
When the Mode pin is connected to V
impedance input. The voltage sense point and the level
of voltage at the sense point are dependent upon the
application (Figure 4). The sense point may be devel-
oped from the AC power line by rectifying and filtering
the AC. Alternatively, a DC voltage level may be se-
lected which is closer to the AC power input than the
regulated +5-volt supply, so that ample time is provided
for warning before regulation is lost.
Proper operation of the DS1231 requires a maximum
voltage of 5 volts at the input (Pin 1), which must be
derived from the maximum voltage at the sense point.
This is accomplished with a simple voltage divider net-
work of R1 and R2. Since the IN trip point V
volts (using the -20 device), and the maximum allowable
voltage on pin 1 is 5 volts, the dynamic range of voltage
at the sense point is set by the ratio of 2.3/5.0=.46 min.
This ratio determines the maximum deviation between
the maximum voltage at the sense point and the actual
voltage which will generate NMI.
Having established the desired ratio, and confirming
that the ratio is greater than .46 and less than 1, the
proper values for R1 and R2 can be determined by the
equation as shown in Figure 4. A simple approach to
solving this equation is to select a value for R2 which is
high enough impedance to keep power consumption
low, and solve for R1. Figure 5 illustrates how the
DS1231 can be interfaced to the AC power line when
the mode pin is connected to V
