Product details
Overview
2U3836K33QDBVRG4Q1 from Texas Instruments is an automotive-grade nanosupervisory circuit with 2.93 V fixed reset threshold, 220 nA typical supply current, push-pull active-low RESET output, and selectable 10 ms / 200 ms power-on delay via CT pin. It monitors 3.3 V supply rails in battery-powered automotive microcontrollers and low-power DSP systems.
For engineers reviewing the 2U3836K33QDBVRG4Q1 datasheet, 2U3836K33QDBVRG4Q1 pinout, 2U3836K33QDBVRG4Q1 application, or 2U3836K33QDBVRG4Q1 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions, automotive temperature range (−40°C to 125°C), SOT-23 package details, and validated alternative parts for system-level reset design.
Technical Context
The 2U3836K33QDBVRG4Q1 implements a precision band-gap reference-based voltage monitor with 40 mV hysteresis at its 2.93 V threshold, ensuring stable reset assertion during supply transients. Its internal timer initiates after VDD exceeds VIT and supports two delay modes: CT = GND yields 10 ms typ, CT = VDD yields 200 ms typ.
It features manual reset (MR) with −200 µA low-level input current and internal 30 kΩ pull-up, enabling external debounced button control. The push-pull RESET output drives up to 5 mA sink current with 0.4 V max VOL at 2 mA, suitable for direct interfacing with MCU reset inputs without external pull-ups.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.93 V ±0.11 V - precisely matches 3.3 V rail supervision with margin for brownout detection |
| Supply Current | 220 nA typ at VDD > VIT - enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered automotive sensors |
| Power-On Delay | Selectable 10 ms / 200 ms - configurable via CT pin to match processor initialization timing |
| Output Type | Active-low push-pull - eliminates need for external pull-up resistor on MCU reset line |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to 125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive environments per AEC-Q100 |
| Hysteresis | 40 mV - prevents oscillation during slow-rising or noisy supply conditions |
| ESD Rating | 2000 V HBM, 200 V MM - robust against assembly and field handling stress |
Pinout & Package
5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package: 2.92 mm × 1.6 mm × 1.15 mm body, gull-wing leads, RoHS-compliant green finish (no Sb/Br), moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - CT | Delay Configuration | Connect to GND for 10 ms reset delay; connect to VDD for 200 ms delay - no external components required |
| 2 - GND | Ground Reference | Primary return path for internal reference and output stage; must be low-impedance for accurate threshold |
| 3 - MR | Manual Reset Input | Active-low asynchronous reset; internally pulled up to VDD (30 kΩ); accepts standard push-button interface |
| 4 - VDD | Supply Input | Operates from 1.6 V to 6 V; asserts reset when VDD < 2.93 V; functional down to 1.1 V for power-up detection |
| 5 - RESET | Reset Output | Push-pull active-low output; sinks 5 mA max; VOL ≤ 0.4 V at 2 mA - directly drives most MCU reset pins |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar supervisory circuit applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3836K33QDBVRQ1 | Same silicon, identical electrical specs, same DBV package; differs only in reel packaging (3000 vs 3000) and marking (PDTQ) | No functional difference; both qualified for automotive use and share identical lifecycle status (LIFEBUY) | Select 2U3836K33QDBVRG4Q1 for TI's green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) finish and guaranteed tape-and-reel compliance per TI spec G4Q1 |
| TPS3838K33QDBVRQ1 | Same threshold (2.93 V) and package but open-drain RESET output; requires external pull-up resistor | Suitable where reset polarity flexibility or wired-OR reset bus architecture is required | Choose TPS3838K33QDBVRQ1 only if system design mandates open-drain topology; otherwise 2U3836K33QDBVRG4Q1 offers simpler push-pull integration |
Compared with TPS3836K33QDBVRQ1, 2U3836K33QDBVRG4Q1 provides identical supervision functionality with enhanced environmental compliance (Green finish), while TPS3838K33QDBVRQ1 trades push-pull simplicity for open-drain configurability-requiring additional BOM and layout effort.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the 2U3836K33QDBVRG4Q1?
The 2U3836K33QDBVRG4Q1 has a nominal reset threshold voltage of 2.93 V, with a guaranteed range of 2.82 V to 3.10 V across temperature and process variation. This value is factory-trimmed and specified in the electrical characteristics table under parameter VIT for TPS383xK33 variants. It is optimized for supervision of 3.3 V supply rails in automotive applications.
Does the 2U3836K33QDBVRG4Q1 support manual reset functionality?
Yes, the 2U3836K33QDBVRG4Q1 supports manual reset via its MR pin (Pin 3). The MR input is active-low and features an internal 30 kΩ pull-up resistor to VDD, allowing direct connection to a momentary switch grounded to assert reset. The device responds within 0.1 µs (tPLH/tPHL) and consumes minimal current (−200 µA typ at 0 V MR).
What is the purpose of the CT pin on the 2U3836K33QDBVRG4Q1?
The CT pin (Pin 1) on the 2U3836K33QDBVRG4Q1 selects the power-on reset delay time: connecting CT to GND configures a 10 ms typical delay, while connecting CT to VDD selects a 200 ms typical delay. No external capacitor is needed - the timing is generated by an internal RC network, simplifying PCB layout and reducing BOM count.
Is the 2U3836K33QDBVRG4Q1 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the 2U3836K33QDBVRG4Q1 is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified, rated for operation from −40°C to 125°C, and designated with the "-Q1" suffix per TI's automotive product definition. It includes customer-specific configuration control and meets automotive reliability and qualification requirements for use in engine control, infotainment, and ADAS systems.
What package type and dimensions does the 2U3836K33QDBVRG4Q1 use?
The 2U3836K33QDBVRG4Q1 uses the 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package: 2.92 mm × 1.6 mm × 1.15 mm body size, gull-wing lead form, 0.95 mm lead pitch, and RoHS-compliant green finish (no Sb/Br). Tape-and-reel packaging contains 3000 units per reel, with pin 1 located in quadrant Q3 per TI's tape specification.
