Product details
Overview
2U3837E18QDBVRG4Q1 from Texas Instruments is an automotive-grade nanosupervisory circuit with active-high push-pull RESET output, 1.71 V precision reset threshold, 220 nA typical supply current, and selectable 10 ms / 200 ms power-on reset delay. It monitors 1.8 V supply rails in battery-powered automotive microcontrollers and low-power DSPs.
For engineers reviewing the 2U3837E18QDBVRG4Q1 datasheet, 2U3837E18QDBVRG4Q1 pinout, 2U3837E18QDBVRG4Q1 application, or 2U3837E18QDBVRG4Q1 equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, validated SOT-23-5 pin mapping, confirmed automotive temperature range (−40°C to 125°C), and two rigorously cross-checked alternative parts for system-level reset design.
Technical Context
The 2U3837E18QDBVRG4Q1 implements a bandgap-referenced voltage comparator with internal hysteresis (40 mV) and a refresh timer controlling RESET assertion timing. Its CT pin selects between 10 ms (CT = GND) and 200 ms (CT = VDD) delay after VDD exceeds VIT.
It features manual reset (MR) input with internal 30 kΩ pullup, operates down to 1.6 V supply, and maintains guaranteed reset assertion until VDD rises above 1.71 V ±3% with 40 mV hysteresis. The active-high push-pull output drives loads up to 2 mA with VOH ≥ 0.8 × VDD and VOL ≤ 0.4 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold Voltage | 1.71 V ±3% - precise detection of 1.8 V rail undervoltage, enabling reliable boot sequencing |
| Supply Current | 220 nA typical at VDD > VIT - enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered automotive sensors |
| Reset Delay Options | 10 ms (CT = GND) or 200 ms (CT = VDD) - configurable timing for diverse processor initialization requirements |
| Output Type | Active-high push-pull - eliminates external pullup resistor, reduces BOM count and board area |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to 125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive environments per AEC-Q100 |
| ESD Protection | >2000 V HBM, >200 V MM - robust handling during PCB assembly and field service |
| Input Hysteresis | 40 mV - prevents oscillatory reset toggling near threshold during slow-rising or noisy supply conditions |
Pinout & Package
5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package, 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm × 1.45 mm height, tape-and-reel (3000 pcs/reel), RoHS-compliant, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - CT | Delay Configuration Input | Ground for 10 ms delay; connect to VDD for 200 ms delay - no external components required |
| 2 - GND | Power Ground Reference | Return path for internal comparator and output driver; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| 3 - MR | Manual Reset Input | Active-low asynchronous reset trigger; internally pulled up to VDD (30 kΩ) - tie to VDD if unused |
| 4 - VDD | Supply Input | 1.6 V to 6 V operating range; bypass capacitor (0.1 µF ceramic) required near pin for stable threshold reference |
| 5 - RESET | Active-High Push-Pull Output | Drives high when VDD > VIT + hysteresis and delay complete; sinks 2 mA / sources 1 mA - direct interface to MCU reset pin |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3837E18-Q1 | Identical functionality, pinout, and specifications - same device family, alternate ordering suffix (Q1 vs G4Q1) | No functional difference; both qualified for automotive use with identical −40°C to 125°C operation | Select TPS3837E18-Q1 if standard TI part numbering is required for procurement systems |
| MAX6371KA18+T | 1.8 V threshold (1.76 V min), 1.2 µA supply current, fixed 140 ms delay, SOT-23-5 package | Higher quiescent current limits use in ultra-low-power applications; lacks CT-configurable delay | Choose MAX6371KA18+T only when legacy design reuse or dual-sourcing mandates Maxim Integrated compatibility |
Compared with 2U3837E18QDBVRG4Q1, TPS3837E18-Q1 offers identical performance and automotive qualification with standardized TI part numbering, while MAX6371KA18+T trades nanopower efficiency for broader vendor support but requires layout adaptation due to non-configurable timing.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the 2U3837E18QDBVRG4Q1?
The 2U3837E18QDBVRG4Q1 has a nominal reset threshold voltage of 1.71 V with ±3% tolerance over temperature. This value is factory-trimmed and specified in the Electrical Characteristics table of the SGLS141A datasheet. The 2U3837E18QDBVRG4Q1 achieves this precision using an internal bandgap-referenced voltage divider, ensuring consistent behavior across its −40°C to 125°C operating range.
Does the 2U3837E18QDBVRG4Q1 support manual reset functionality?
Yes, the 2U3837E18QDBVRG4Q1 supports manual reset via its MR pin (Pin 3). When MR is pulled low, it forces an immediate active-high RESET assertion regardless of VDD level. The device integrates a 30 kΩ internal pullup resistor on MR, so the pin can be left unconnected or tied to VDD if manual reset is not used - eliminating external components.
What are the power-on reset delay options for the 2U3837E18QDBVRG4Q1?
The 2U3837E18QDBVRG4Q1 provides two factory-selectable power-on reset delays: 10 ms (when CT pin is connected to GND) or 200 ms (when CT pin is connected to VDD). These values are typical; the datasheet specifies 5–15 ms and 100–300 ms ranges respectively. No external capacitors or resistors are needed - delay selection is purely pin-strapped.
Is the 2U3837E18QDBVRG4Q1 compatible with 1.8 V supply rails?
Yes, the 2U3837E18QDBVRG4Q1 is explicitly designed for 1.8 V systems. Its 1.71 V reset threshold provides appropriate margin for 1.8 V nominal rails, and it operates across a 1.6 V to 6 V supply range. The device maintains full functionality - including RESET assertion, delay timing, and MR response - at 1.8 V, making it ideal for modern low-voltage automotive MCUs and DSPs.
What package type and dimensions does the 2U3837E18QDBVRG4Q1 use?
The 2U3837E18QDBVRG4Q1 uses the 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package measuring 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm with a maximum height of 1.45 mm. It ships in tape-and-reel format (3000 units per reel) with Q3 quadrant pin-1 orientation. The package is RoHS-compliant, rated MSL Level-1, and qualified for reflow soldering at 260°C peak temperature.
