Product details
Overview
LM3710XKBP-232 from Texas Instruments is a microprocessor supervisory IC in VSSOP-10 package, providing precision 3.08V reset threshold, 28 µA supply current, manual reset input (MR), power-fail comparator (PFI/PFO), low-line output (LLO), and watchdog timer (WDI) - used for reliable power monitoring in embedded controllers and automotive systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM3710XKBP-232 datasheet, LM3710XKBP-232 pinout, LM3710XKBP-232 application, or LM3710XKBP-232 equivalent, key selection criteria include reset accuracy (±0.5% at 25°C), guaranteed reset assertion down to 1.0V VCC, factory-programmable timeout delays, and dual-supply monitoring capability via PFI and LLO.
Technical Context
The LM3710XKBP-232 integrates five independent monitoring functions: a precision voltage detector with 3.08V reset threshold and ±2% accuracy over −40°C to +85°C; a dedicated 1.225V PFI comparator for external supply monitoring; an LLO comparator set at 1.02×VRST for early brownout warning; a debounced MR input with 56 kΩ internal pull-up; and a transition-sensitive WDI with programmable timeout periods (e.g., 6.2 ms, 102 ms, 1600 ms, or 25.6 s).
Its active-low RESET output remains valid down to VCC = 1.0V, features 1.4 ms typical reset timeout (tRP), and supports system-level fault handling through NMI generation via LLO and interrupt signaling via PFO - all without external components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 3.08V ±0.5% at 25°C; ensures deterministic reset during power-up/down and brownout events |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.0V to 5.5V; enables operation during deep brownout and compatibility with 1.2V–5V logic domains |
| Supply Current | 28 µA typical; minimizes quiescent power draw in battery-backed or energy-sensitive systems |
| Reset Timeout Period | 1.4 ms typical (code "E"); provides sufficient hold time for processor initialization before release |
| Watchdog Timeout | 6.2 ms typical (code "E"); detects microprocessor lockup on monitored data lines within defined window |
| LLO Threshold | 1.02 × VRST = 3.14V; triggers non-maskable interrupt ~2% above reset threshold for early warning |
| PFI Threshold | 1.225V fixed; allows independent monitoring of auxiliary supplies (e.g., raw battery or analog rail) |
Pinout & Package
VSSOP-10 (DGS) package: 3.0 mm × 3.0 mm body, 0.5 mm pitch, 1.1 mm max height, RoHS-compliant tin-silver (SN) lead finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | Main power supply input (1.0V–5.5V); powers all internal comparators and logic |
| 2 | MR | Manual reset input; asserts reset when pulled below 1.225V for >25 µs; includes 56 kΩ internal pull-up |
| 3 | PFI | Power-fail comparator input; referenced to 1.225V internal threshold; monitors secondary supply |
| 4 | WDI | Watchdog input; edge-triggered; resets internal timer on each transition; high-impedance (>100 MΩ) |
| 5 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference for all comparators and outputs |
| 6,9 | NC | No-connect pins; factory test only; must be left floating |
| 7 | LLO | Low-line output; open-drain; goes low when VCC falls below 1.02×VRST for NMI generation |
| 8 | PFO | Power-fail output; open-drain; goes low when PFI < 1.225V; signals auxiliary supply failure |
| 10 | RESET | Active-low reset output; asserted during power-up, brownout, MR activation, or WDI timeout |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-programmable reset timeout | Four options (1.4/28/200/1600 ms) selected by part number suffix; eliminates external timing components |
| Integrated low-line comparator | VLLOT = 1.02×VRST with 0.0032×VRST hysteresis; enables early-warning NMI before reset assertion |
| Dual independent supply monitoring | Simultaneous VCC supervision (reset/LLO) and external supply supervision (PFI/PFO) on single die |
| Guaranteed operation down to 1.0V VCC | RESET remains valid and functional even during severe brownout; supports ultra-low-voltage recovery |
| No external components required | Internal reference, pull-up, hysteresis, and timing circuits eliminate BOM cost and layout area |

FAQ
What is the reset threshold voltage of the LM3710XKBP-232?
The LM3710XKBP-232 has a factory-set reset threshold of 3.08V with ±0.5% accuracy at 25°C and ±2% over −40°C to +85°C. This value is laser-trimmed and does not require external resistors. The LM3710XKBP-232 uses this threshold to assert RESET during power-up, brownout, or manual reset events - ensuring consistent behavior across operating conditions.
Does the LM3710XKBP-232 support watchdog functionality?
Yes, the LM3710XKBP-232 includes a watchdog timer input (WDI) that monitors transitions on a microprocessor output line. If no edge occurs within the factory-programmed timeout period (6.2 ms for LM3710XKBP-232), it triggers RESET. The WDI pin is high-impedance and requires no external pull-up; its behavior is fully integrated into the LM3710XKBP-232's supervision logic.
How does the Low-Line Output (LLO) function in the LM3710XKBP-232?
The LLO output in the LM3710XKBP-232 goes low when VCC falls below 1.02 × VRST (≈3.14V), providing early warning ~2% above the reset threshold. It is an open-drain output intended to generate a non-maskable interrupt (NMI) to the host processor. The LM3710XKBP-232 implements hysteresis (0.0032 × VRST) to prevent chatter during slow voltage decay.
Can the LM3710XKBP-232 monitor a second power supply?
Yes, the LM3710XKBP-232 includes a dedicated Power-Fail Input (PFI) comparator with a fixed 1.225V threshold. When an external voltage divider applies a scaled version of a secondary supply (e.g., battery or analog rail) to PFI, the LM3710XKBP-232 drives PFO low upon crossing the threshold - enabling independent supervision of two supplies using a single LM3710XKBP-232 device.
What package type and footprint does the LM3710XKBP-232 use?
The LM3710XKBP-232 is supplied in a VSSOP-10 (DGS) package: 3.0 mm × 3.0 mm body, 0.5 mm pin pitch, 1.1 mm maximum height. It uses standard JEDEC MO-187BA-compliant land patterns with NSMD pads. The LM3710XKBP-232 is RoHS-compliant, MSL Level-1, and compatible with standard reflow profiles up to 260°C peak.
