Product details
Overview
2U3836E18QDBVRG4Q1 from Texas Instruments is an automotive-grade nanosupply voltage supervisor IC with 1.71 V fixed reset threshold, active-low push-pull RESET output, 220 nA typical supply current, 10 ms/200 ms selectable power-on reset delay, and operation from −40°C to 125°C. It monitors 1.8 V rails in battery-powered automotive microcontrollers and low-power DSPs.
For engineers reviewing the 2U3836E18QDBVRG4Q1 datasheet, 2U3836E18QDBVRG4Q1 pinout, 2U3836E18QDBVRG4Q1 application, or 2U3836E18QDBVRG4Q1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 qualification, SOT-23-5 package, manual reset capability, CT-pin programmable delay, and precision ±1.5% threshold tolerance over temperature.
Technical Context
The 2U3836E18QDBVRG4Q1 implements a bandgap-referenced voltage comparator with internal hysteresis (40 mV) and a refresh timer that initiates reset assertion when VDD rises above 1.1 V and holds RESET active until VDD exceeds 1.71 V. Its CT pin selects between 10 ms (CT = GND) or 200 ms (CT = VDD) delay times after threshold crossing.
It features a dedicated manual reset (MR) input with internal 30 kΩ pullup, supports VDD from 1.6 V to 6 V, and asserts RESET low during undervoltage, brownout, or MR activation. The push-pull output drives up to 5 mA sink and −5 mA source while maintaining VOL ≤ 0.4 V at IOL = 2 mA and VOH ≥ 0.8 × VDD at IOH = −2 mA.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervision applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3836E18QDBVRQ1 | Same silicon, identical electrical specs, same DBV package; differs only in reel packaging (3000 vs 3000) and marking (PDNQ) | No functional difference; both qualified for automotive use and support identical operating conditions | Select 2U3836E18QDBVRG4Q1 for TI's latest green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) finish and MSL Level-1 handling |
| MAX6375XR22+T | 2.2 V threshold, 1.6 µA supply current, no CT-pin delay selection, SOT-23-5 package | Higher quiescent current limits battery lifetime; fixed 200 ms delay lacks flexibility for diverse MCU boot requirements | Choose only if 2.2 V threshold matches system rail; otherwise 2U3836E18QDBVRG4Q1 offers lower power and programmable timing |
Compared with TPS3836E18QDBVRQ1, 2U3836E18QDBVRG4Q1 provides identical supervision functionality with enhanced environmental compliance (green finish), while MAX6375XR22+T trades nanosupply efficiency for higher threshold and inflexible timing - making 2U3836E18QDBVRG4Q1 optimal for 1.8 V automotive systems requiring long battery life and configurable reset behavior.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the 2U3836E18QDBVRG4Q1?
The 2U3836E18QDBVRG4Q1 has a nominal reset threshold voltage of 1.71 V with ±1.5% initial accuracy over temperature. This value is factory-trimmed and specified in the Electrical Characteristics table of the SGLS141A datasheet. The device asserts RESET low whenever VDD falls below this threshold and releases it only after VDD rises above 1.71 V plus 40 mV hysteresis.
Does the 2U3836E18QDBVRG4Q1 support manual reset functionality?
Yes, the 2U3836E18QDBVRG4Q1 includes a dedicated manual reset (MR) input on Pin 3. It is active-low and internally pulled up to VDD with a 30 kΩ resistor. Driving MR below 0.3 × VDD forces RESET low regardless of VDD level, enabling system-level reset initiation. If unused, MR should be tied to VDD to minimize leakage current.
How is the reset delay time configured on the 2U3836E18QDBVRG4Q1?
The reset delay time of the 2U3836E18QDBVRG4Q1 is selected via the CT pin (Pin 1): connecting CT to GND configures a typical 10 ms delay, while connecting CT to VDD configures a typical 200 ms delay. No external capacitor or resistor is needed - the timing is generated by an internal RC network calibrated for automotive temperature range.
Is the 2U3836E18QDBVRG4Q1 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the 2U3836E18QDBVRG4Q1 is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified (−40°C to +125°C) and explicitly designated for automotive use in the TI documentation. Its qualification includes stress testing for temperature cycling, humidity bias, and mechanical shock - confirming suitability for engine control, body electronics, and ADAS subsystems.
What package type and dimensions does the 2U3836E18QDBVRG4Q1 use?
The 2U3836E18QDBVRG4Q1 uses a 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package measuring 3.0 mm × 1.7 mm × 1.3 mm with 1.4 mm pin pitch. It is RoHS-compliant and features green (Pb-free, no Sb/Br) finish with CU NIPDAU lead finish and JEDEC Level-1 moisture sensitivity rating - compatible with standard reflow soldering processes.
