Product details
Overview
LM3710XNMMX-470 from Texas Instruments is a microprocessor supervisory IC with 3.08V reset threshold, active-low RESET output, manual reset input (MR), power-fail comparator (PFI/PFO), low-line warning output (LLO), and watchdog timer (WDI). It operates from 1.0V to 5.5V VCC, asserts reset down to 1.0V, and draws only 28 µA supply current - used for reliable power monitoring in embedded controllers and automotive systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM3710XNMMX-470 datasheet, LM3710XNMMX-470 pinout, LM3710XNMMX-470 application, or LM3710XNMMX-470 equivalent, key selection criteria include its factory-programmed 3.08V reset threshold, VSSOP-10 package, ±0.5% room-temperature accuracy, 1.225V PFI reference, and LLO threshold at 1.02×VRST for early brownout detection.
Technical Context
The LM3710XNMMX-470 integrates five independent monitoring functions: precision voltage supervisor (3.08V threshold), manual reset with 1.225V threshold and internal 56 kΩ pull-up, separate 1.225V power-fail comparator, low-line output triggered at 1.02×VRST with 0.0032×VRST hysteresis, and watchdog timer with programmable timeout periods (e.g., 6.2 ms, 102 ms, 1600 ms).
Its RESET output remains valid down to VCC = 1.0V and holds for a factory-configured timeout period (tRP) after VCC rises above threshold or MR releases; the LLO output provides non-maskable interrupt capability during early supply droop, while PFO enables external supply monitoring via resistor divider.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 3.08V ±0.5% at 25°C; ensures deterministic reset assertion during 3.3V system brownout. |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.0V to 5.5V; supports operation through deep brownout and full 3.3V/5V supply range. |
| Supply Current | 28 µA typical; enables battery-backed or ultra-low-power embedded supervision. |
| Reset Timeout Period | Factory-programmed; LM3710XNMMX-470 uses 6.2 ms (code "E"), ensuring sufficient processor initialization time. |
| PFI Threshold | 1.225V ±25 mV; allows precise external supply monitoring using standard resistor dividers. |
| LLO Threshold | 1.02 × VRST (≈3.14V at 3.08V); triggers early warning ~60 mV above reset point for NMI generation. |
| Watchdog Timeout | 6.2 ms (code "E"); matches short-cycle firmware watchdog requirements without external timing components. |
Pinout & Package
VSSOP-10 package (DGS), 3.0 mm × 3.0 mm × 1.1 mm height, moisture sensitivity level 1, lead-free (Sn) finish, tape-and-reel packaging (1000 pcs/reel).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Power supply input | Primary supply rail (1.0–5.5V); powers all internal comparators and logic. |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return for all analog and digital circuitry; two pins ensure low-impedance path. |
| RESET | Active-low reset output | Open-drain/totem-pole configurable; drives µP reset pin low during fault conditions. |
| MR | Manual reset input | Debounced input with 1.225V threshold and internal 56 kΩ pull-up; initiates reset when pulled low ≥25 µs. |
| PFI | Power-fail comparator input | Monitors external supply via resistor divider; asserts PFO when input falls below 1.225V. |
| PFO | Power-fail logic output | Active-low open-drain output signaling external supply failure prior to main VCC brownout. |
| LLO | Low-line logic output | Active-low output asserting ~60 mV before reset threshold; used for NMI or system alert. |
| WDI | Watchdog input | High-impedance transition monitor; resets internal timer on each edge; timeout triggers RESET. |
| NC | No-connect | Pin 6 and Pin 9 are factory test-only; must be left floating in application circuits. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-programmed reset threshold | 3.08V with ±0.5% accuracy at 25°C eliminates external resistor network and calibration effort. |
| Integrated low-line output (LLO) | Triggers at 1.02×VRST with built-in hysteresis, enabling early brownout warning without extra comparator. |
| Dual independent comparators | Separate PFI (1.225V reference) and VCC monitor allow concurrent tracking of main and auxiliary supplies. |
| Manual reset with internal pull-up | 56 kΩ internal MR pull-up and 1.225V threshold simplify pushbutton interface and reduce BOM count. |
| Watchdog timer with fixed timeout | 6.2 ms watchdog period (code "E") provides deterministic firmware lockup detection without external RC. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V fixed reset threshold; 350 ms default timeout; no LLO output; requires external capacitor for adjustable delay. | Lacks low-line warning and dual-comparator architecture; suited for simpler single-rail reset-only use cases. | Select when only basic 3.3V reset is required and early warning functionality is unnecessary. |

FAQ
What is the reset threshold voltage of the LM3710XNMMX-470?
The LM3710XNMMX-470 has a factory-programmed reset threshold of 3.08V with ±0.5% accuracy at room temperature and ±2% over −40°C to +85°C. This value is laser-trimmed during production and does not require external components. The LM3710XNMMX-470 maintains valid reset assertion down to VCC = 1.0V, ensuring reliability during severe brownout events.
Does the LM3710XNMMX-470 support watchdog timer functionality?
Yes, the LM3710XNMMX-470 includes a watchdog timer with WDI input that monitors microprocessor output transitions. Its timeout period is factory-programmed to 6.2 ms (code "E"). If no edge is detected on WDI within this interval, the device asserts RESET. The LM3710XNMMX-470 requires no external timing components and supports seamless integration into firmware watchdog routines.
How does the low-line output (LLO) function in the LM3710XNMMX-470?
The LLO output of the LM3710XNMMX-470 goes low when VCC falls below 1.02 × VRST (≈3.14V for 3.08V threshold), providing early warning ~60 mV before reset activation. It features 0.0032 × VRST hysteresis to prevent chatter. In practice, the LM3710XNMMX-470 uses LLO to generate a non-maskable interrupt (NMI) for last-chance data save or controlled shutdown before full reset occurs.
What is the purpose of the PFI and PFO pins on the LM3710XNMMX-470?
The PFI pin on the LM3710XNMMX-470 accepts an external voltage (e.g., from a resistor divider on a 12V rail) and compares it to an internal 1.225V reference. When PFI drops below this threshold, the PFO pin pulls low - enabling independent monitoring of auxiliary supplies. Unlike the main VCC supervisor, the LM3710XNMMX-470's PFI/PFO path is fully isolated and can trigger alerts before the primary supply fails.
Is the LM3710XNMMX-470 pin-compatible with other devices in the LM3710/LM3711 family?
Yes, the LM3710XNMMX-470 shares identical VSSOP-10 pinout and footprint with all LM3710 variants (e.g., LM3710XKMM-463, LM3710XQMM-308) and LM3711 devices. All share the same pin assignments for VCC, GND, RESET/RESET, MR, PFI, PFO, LLO, WDI, and NC. However, functional differences exist - the LM3710XNMMX-470 provides active-low RESET and 6.2 ms tRP, whereas LM3711 offers active-high RESET and different timeout options.
