Product details
Overview
KA75250ZTA from Fairchild Semiconductor is a fixed-threshold voltage detector IC designed for microprocessor reset supervision, with 2.5 V detection threshold, ±0.01 %/°C temperature coefficient, 50 mV hysteresis, and operation from −25 °C to +85 °C. It delivers 20 mA output sink current at on-state and supports TO-92 package for embedded power-on/off error prevention in battery-powered systems.
For engineers reviewing the KA75250ZTA datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified electrical parameters, TO-92 terminal mapping, real-world use cases in microcontroller reset circuits, and two validated alternative detectors with documented voltage and package differences.
Technical Context
The KA75250ZTA implements a precision bandgap-based voltage reference with internal comparator and open-drain NMOS output stage. Its detection threshold is factory-trimmed to 2.5 V (±0.15 V), and hysteresis is fixed at 50 mV to prevent oscillation during slow-rising supply transitions.
It operates with ultra-low quiescent current-30–50 µA in off-state and ≤500 µA during active detection-and features guaranteed low output voltage (≤0.4 V at 200 Ω load) to ensure reliable reset assertion for TTL/CMOS logic inputs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Detecting Voltage | 2.5 V ±0.15 V - precise reset trigger point for 3.3 V or 5 V microcontrollers |
| Hysteresis Voltage | 50 mV - prevents chatter during brown-out recovery without external components |
| Output Type | Open-drain NMOS - enables wired-OR reset bus and flexible pull-up selection |
| Supply Range | 0.3 V to 15 V - supports wide input rails including single-cell Li-ion and multi-rail systems |
| Operating Temp | −25 °C to +85 °C - qualified for industrial ambient environments |
| Quiescent Current | 30–50 µA (off-state) - minimizes standby power in battery-backed applications |
| Output Sink Current | 20 mA (typ.) - drives standard reset inputs without external buffer |
Pinout & Package
KA75250ZTA is supplied in TO-92 package (3-pin, through-hole), with standardized pin assignment per Fairchild mechanical drawing: Pin 1 = INPUT (VCC), Pin 2 = GND, Pin 3 = OUTPUT (open-drain).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Power Input | Supplies operating voltage; internally connected to voltage reference and comparator |
| Pin 2 | Ground Reference | Common return path for internal circuitry and output stage |
| Pin 3 | Open-Drain Output | Sinks current when VIN < VDET; requires external pull-up for active-high reset signaling |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-trimmed detection threshold | 2.5 V with ±0.15 V tolerance - eliminates need for external resistor divider calibration |
| Integrated hysteresis | 50 mV fixed - ensures clean, bounce-free reset release without external RC network |
| Low-temperature drift | ±0.01 %/°C - maintains detection accuracy across industrial temperature range |
| Guaranteed low VOL | ≤0.4 V at 200 Ω load - ensures compatible logic-level reset assertion for 3.3 V and 5 V MCUs |
| Wide supply range support | 0.3 V to 15 V operation - enables direct connection to unregulated battery or rail inputs |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage detector applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV7031DBVR | 2.5 V threshold, SOT-23-5, push-pull output, 1.8–5.5 V supply | Requires external pull-up for open-drain emulation; higher supply sensitivity limits use above 5.5 V | Preferred where board space is constrained and 5 V operation is not required |
| MAX809TRD3+T | 2.5 V threshold, SOT-23-3, open-drain, −40 °C to +85 °C, 1.2–6.0 V supply | Wider temp range and lower max supply voltage; identical TO-92 pinout unavailable | Best for extended temperature designs needing drop-in replacement in SOT-23 footprint |
Compared with KA75250ZTA, TLV7031DBVR offers smaller footprint but lacks 15 V tolerance and TO-92 compatibility, while MAX809TRD3+T extends temperature range but requires PCB redesign due to SOT-23 packaging and different pinout.

Manufacturer
Fairchild Semiconductor was a U.S.-based analog and power IC manufacturer, acquired by ON Semiconductor in 2016; its legacy products remain widely deployed in industrial and automotive systems.
The KA75XXX series was designed specifically for cost-sensitive, high-volume voltage monitoring and reset generation in consumer, industrial, and computing equipment where precision, low power, and TO-92/SOT-89 compatibility were critical.
FAQ
What is the exact detection threshold voltage of KA75250ZTA?
The KA75250ZTA has a nominal detection threshold of 2.5 V, with a guaranteed range of 2.35 V to 2.65 V at 25 °C. This value is factory-trimmed and specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under VDET for KA75250. The device maintains this accuracy across temperature with a drift of ±0.01 %/°C.
Does KA75250ZTA require external components to function as a reset supervisor?
No, KA75250ZTA operates autonomously with no external resistors or capacitors required. Its 2.5 V threshold, 50 mV hysteresis, and open-drain output are fully integrated. Only an external pull-up resistor on Pin 3 is needed to generate an active-high reset signal, which is standard practice for most microcontroller reset inputs.
What package type is used for KA75250ZTA, and how are its pins arranged?
KA75250ZTA uses the TO-92 package. Pin 1 is INPUT (VCC), Pin 2 is GND, and Pin 3 is OUTPUT (open-drain). This pinout is confirmed in the "Mechanical Dimensions" section and internal block diagram of the Fairchild datasheet Rev. 1.0.3.
Can KA75250ZTA be used with a 12 V supply rail?
Yes, KA75250ZTA supports supply voltages up to +15.0 V, making it fully compatible with 12 V systems. Its absolute maximum rating specifies VCC = 0.3 V to +15.0 V, and all electrical characteristics-including detection accuracy and output performance-are validated across this full range.
Is KA75250ZTA suitable for automotive applications?
KA75250ZTA is rated for −25 °C to +85 °C operation and was not qualified to AEC-Q100 standards. While it may function in some under-hood or cabin environments, Fairchild's Life Support Policy and lack of automotive qualification mean KA75250ZTA is intended for industrial, computing, and consumer applications-not safety-critical automotive systems.
