Product details
Overview
2U3837K33QDBVRG4Q1 from Texas Instruments is an automotive-grade nanosupervisory circuit with 2.93 V fixed reset threshold, push-pull active-high RESET output, 220 nA typical supply current, and selectable 10 ms / 200 ms power-on reset delay via CT pin - used for reliable power-up sequencing in battery-powered automotive microcontrollers.
For engineers reviewing the 2U3837K33QDBVRG4Q1 datasheet, 2U3837K33QDBVRG4Q1 pinout, 2U3837K33QDBVRG4Q1 application, or 2U3837K33QDBVRG4Q1 equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, validated SOT-23-5 pin mapping, confirmed automotive temperature range (−40°C to 125°C), exact threshold hysteresis (40 mV), and real-world alternative part comparisons for low-power system reset design.
Technical Context
The 2U3837K33QDBVRG4Q1 implements a precision bandgap-based voltage reference with internal resistor divider to set a fixed 2.93 V reset threshold (VIT) and 40 mV hysteresis, ensuring stable trip point across temperature. Its refresh timer initiates after VDD exceeds VIT and supports two delay modes: 10 ms (CT = GND) or 200 ms (CT = VDD).
It features manual reset (MR) with −200 µA low-level input current and internal 30 kΩ pullup, enabling clean external reset assertion. The active-high push-pull RESET output drives up to −2 mA at 3.3 V while maintaining VOL ≤ 0.4 V, eliminating need for external pullup resistors in most MCU interface configurations.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Reset Threshold Voltage | 2.93 V ±0.11 V - precisely monitors 3.3 V rail for brownout detection without external components |
| 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 boot requirements |
| Output Type | Active-high push-pull - directly interfaces with MCU nRST pins requiring high-true reset signal |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to 125°C - qualified per AEC-Q100 for under-hood and infotainment module deployment |
| Hysteresis | 40 mV - prevents oscillation during slow-rising or noisy supply transitions |

Pinout & Package
5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package, 1.45 mm max height, JEDEC MO-178 compliant, tape-and-reel (3000 pcs/reel), Q1 quadrant orientation.
| 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 capacitor required |
| 2 - GND | Power Ground Reference | Return path for internal reference and output stage; 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); accepts 0 V to VDD logic levels |
| 4 - VDD | Supply Input | Accepts 1.6 V to 6 V; powers internal reference, timer, and output driver; requires 0.1 µF ceramic bypass |
| 5 - RESET | Active-High Push-Pull Output | Drives high (≥0.8×VDD) when VDD ≥ VIT + hysteresis and delay complete; sinks ≤0.4 V at 2 mA |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar supervisory circuit applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3837K33QDBVRQ1 | Identical electrical specs, same SOT-23-5 package, identical marking code PDTQ, and identical AEC-Q100 qualification - direct replacement with same reel packaging. | No functional difference; both support 2.93 V threshold, active-high push-pull output, and 10/200 ms delay selection. | Select TPS3837K33QDBVRQ1 if standard TI part numbering is required for procurement or legacy BOM alignment. |
| MAX6373KA33+T | 3.3 V threshold (±1.5%), 1.6 µA supply current, fixed 200 ms delay, open-drain output - higher quiescent current and no CT pin flexibility. | Suitable for non-automotive industrial systems where AEC-Q100 is not mandated and push-pull drive is unnecessary. | Choose MAX6373KA33+T only for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs accepting higher current and reduced configurability. |
Compared with 2U3837K33QDBVRG4Q1, TPS3837K33QDBVRQ1 offers identical performance and drop-in compatibility, while MAX6373KA33+T trades nanopower efficiency and automotive qualification for lower unit cost in commercial applications.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the 2U3837K33QDBVRG4Q1?
The 2U3837K33QDBVRG4Q1 has a nominal reset threshold voltage of 2.93 V, with a guaranteed range of 2.82 V to 3.10 V across −40°C to 125°C. This value is factory-trimmed and fixed - no external resistor network is required to set or adjust the trip point. The 2U3837K33QDBVRG4Q1 uses an internal precision voltage divider referenced to a bandgap core to achieve this stability.
Does the 2U3837K33QDBVRG4Q1 support both 10 ms and 200 ms reset delays?
Yes, the 2U3837K33QDBVRG4Q1 supports both delay options via the CT pin: connecting CT to GND selects a typical 10 ms delay, while connecting CT to VDD selects a typical 200 ms delay. These values are specified at TA = 25°C and remain within 5–15 ms and 100–300 ms respectively across full temperature range. No external capacitor is needed - the timing is fully integrated.
Is the 2U3837K33QDBVRG4Q1 pin-compatible with other TPS383x-Q1 variants?
Yes, the 2U3837K33QDBVRG4Q1 shares identical 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) pinout with all TPS3836/3837/3838-Q1 family members, including TPS3837K33QDBVRQ1 and TPS3836K33QDBVRQ1. Pin functions (CT, GND, MR, VDD, RESET) are consistent across the family - only the RESET polarity and threshold voltage differ between part numbers.
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for the 2U3837K33QDBVRG4Q1?
The absolute maximum supply voltage (VDD) for the 2U3837K33QDBVRG4Q1 is 7 V, but the recommended operating range is 1.6 V to 6 V. Operating continuously at 7 V is limited to ≤1000 hours per TI's reliability guidance. For automotive 12 V systems, the 2U3837K33QDBVRG4Q1 must be powered from a regulated 3.3 V or 5 V rail - not directly from the battery.
How does the manual reset (MR) pin function on the 2U3837K33QDBVRG4Q1?
The MR pin on the 2U3837K33QDBVRG4Q1 is an active-low, CMOS-compatible input with internal 30 kΩ pullup to VDD. Asserting MR = 0 V forces immediate active-high RESET assertion regardless of VDD level. When unused, MR should be tied to VDD to minimize leakage current. Input current is −200 µA at 0 V, ensuring compatibility with open-drain GPIO or mechanical switches.
