Product details
Overview
LM8364BALMF20 from Texas Instruments is a micropower undervoltage sensing circuit with 2.0 V detection threshold, ±2.5% accuracy, and 0.65 μA quiescent current at VIN = 2.87 V, housed in a 5-pin SOT-23 package. It delivers active-low open-drain RESET output for microprocessor supervision in battery-powered systems requiring extended runtime and precise low-voltage monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the LM8364BALMF20 datasheet, LM8364BALMF20 pinout, LM8364BALMF20 application, or LM8364BALMF20 equivalent, this device serves as a precision voltage detector for reset generation, low-battery indication, and power-fail signaling - with confirmed operation down to 1.0 V input and built-in 100 mV hysteresis (typical) to prevent oscillation near threshold.
Technical Context
The LM8364BALMF20 integrates a trimmed bandgap reference, comparator with precise threshold alignment, and internal hysteresis to ensure stable reset assertion/deassertion. Its input voltage range spans 1.0 V to 6.0 V, supporting direct monitoring of Li-ion, NiMH, and 3.3 V/5 V rails without external scaling.
It features an open-drain RESET output capable of sinking up to 2.5 mA at VIN = 1.5 V and VOL = 0.5 V, with propagation delay under 300 μs. The device operates across −40°C to +85°C and maintains threshold temperature coefficient of ±100 ppm/°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Detection Threshold | 2.0 V (±2.5%), enabling reliable reset assertion when supply drops below nominal 2.0 V level |
| Quiescent Current | 0.65 μA at VIN = 2.87 V - preserves battery life in always-on monitoring applications |
| Hysteresis | 0.100 V (typ), preventing chatter during slow or noisy supply recovery |
| Input Voltage Range | 1.0 V to 6.0 V - supports direct monitoring of single-cell Li-ion (2.5–4.2 V), alkaline, and regulated rails |
| Output Type | Active-low open-drain RESET - allows flexible pull-up to any compatible rail (e.g., VCC or higher) |
| Propagation Delay | 60–300 μs - ensures timely system reset without excessive latency or false triggering |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and portable embedded environments |
Pinout & Package
LM8364BALMF20 is packaged in a 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) surface-mount package, 1.45 mm maximum height, RoHS-compliant, with moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1 and peak reflow rating of 260°C.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RESET | Open-drain output | Active-low reset signal; requires external pull-up resistor to define logic-high level and sink capability |
| 2 - INPUT | Voltage sense input | Monitors supply rail directly; threshold detection occurs when voltage falls below 2.0 V |
| 3 - GND | Ground reference | Return path for internal reference and comparator; must be low-impedance connection to system ground |
| 4 - N/C | No connect | Internally unconnected; no external connection required or recommended |
| 5 - N/C | No connect | Internally unconnected; no external connection required or recommended |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 0.65 μA typical enables multi-year battery operation in coin-cell–powered devices |
| Precision threshold accuracy | ±2.5% tolerance ensures consistent reset point across production lots and temperature |
| Built-in hysteresis | 0.100 V typical eliminates need for external feedback components and stabilizes reset release |
| Wide input voltage range | 1.0 V to 6.0 V supports direct monitoring of diverse battery chemistries and regulated supplies |
| SOT-23 footprint | 5-pin compact package saves PCB area versus SOIC or SC-70 alternatives while maintaining manufacturability |
Applications
| Microprocessor Reset Controller | Low-Battery Detection |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Monitoring main supply rail of an ARM Cortex-M0+ MCU in a wireless sensor node powered by a CR2032 coin cell. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Voltage detector asserting active-low RESET to hold processor in reset until supply exceeds 2.0 V after cold start or brownout. Use Value: Guarantees clean boot sequence and prevents erratic execution due to marginal VDD, leveraging 0.65 μA quiescent current to extend battery life beyond 5 years. |
Use Scenario: Detecting end-of-life voltage in a handheld medical thermometer using two AAA alkaline cells. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Threshold comparator triggering LED warning when stack voltage drops below 2.0 V per cell (4.0 V total). Use Value: Provides early low-battery alert with ±2.5% accuracy - eliminating false warnings caused by load transients thanks to 0.100 V hysteresis. |
| Power-Fail Indicator | Battery Backup Supervision |
|
Use Scenario: Signaling imminent AC power loss in a smart meter with supercapacitor backup, where main 3.3 V rail collapses before backup engages. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Undervoltage monitor on primary 3.3 V rail generating early interrupt to initiate data save and switchover. Use Value: Enables deterministic fail-safe response within 300 μs, using open-drain output to interface directly with MCU's wake-up/interrupt pin. |
Use Scenario: Validating backup battery readiness in a real-time clock (RTC) module using a 3.0 V lithium coin cell. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standby supervisor verifying backup voltage remains ≥2.0 V before allowing RTC to switch from main to backup supply. Use Value: Prevents timekeeping corruption during power transition by ensuring backup source meets minimum operational voltage prior to handover. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar undervoltage detection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3808G20DBVR | 2.0 V threshold, but 1.6 μA quiescent current (2.5× higher); push-pull output instead of open-drain | Requires level-shifting or redesign if interfacing with legacy open-drain reset inputs | Preferred where faster propagation (<50 μs) and tighter tempco (±30 ppm/°C) are critical, and higher IQ is acceptable |
| MAX809SEUR+T | 2.0 V threshold, 2.5 μA IQ, SOT-23-3 package (no N/C pins), fixed 240 ms reset timeout | Lacks hysteresis control and adjustable timing; not suitable for dynamic threshold or fast-recovery scenarios | Appropriate for cost-sensitive designs needing basic reset with guaranteed minimum pulse width, not precision monitoring |
Compared with TPS3808G20DBVR and MAX809SEUR+T, the LM8364BALMF20 uniquely balances ultra-low IQ (0.65 μA), precise 2.0 V threshold (±2.5%), and configurable open-drain output - making it optimal for long-life battery systems where reset timing fidelity and minimal standby drain are jointly essential.

FAQ
What is the exact detection threshold voltage of the LM8364BALMF20?
The LM8364BALMF20 has a nominal detection threshold voltage of 2.0 V, with a guaranteed tolerance of ±2.5% over temperature and process variation. This means the actual trip point falls between 1.950 V and 2.050 V at 25°C, and the device asserts RESET when the INPUT pin voltage decreases below this value.
Does the LM8364BALMF20 require an external pull-up resistor on the RESET pin?
Yes, the LM8364BALMF20 features an open-drain RESET output and requires an external pull-up resistor to a valid logic-high voltage rail (e.g., VCC or another supply). Typical values range from 10 kΩ to 470 kΩ depending on rise time and bus loading requirements - TI's datasheet uses a 470 kΩ pull-up in timing measurements.
Can the LM8364BALMF20 operate with input voltages below 2.0 V?
Yes, the LM8364BALMF20 is fully functional down to 1.0 V input voltage, and its RESET output remains asserted (low) as long as the INPUT voltage stays below the hysteresis-adjusted release threshold (~2.1 V). This ensures reliable reset hold during deep brownout conditions.
What is the quiescent current consumption of the LM8364BALMF20 at 2.0 V input?
At VIN = 2.0 V, the LM8364BALMF20 draws approximately 0.65 μA typical quiescent current - consistent with its specified 0.65 μA at VIN = 2.87 V. Measured data shows <0.8 μA across the full 1.0–6.0 V range, confirming suitability for ultra-low-power applications.
Is the LM8364BALMF20 pin-compatible with the MC33464 series?
Yes, the LM8364BALMF20 is explicitly documented as pin-for-pin compatible with the MC33464 family. Both share identical 5-pin SOT-23 pinout (RESET, INPUT, GND, N/C, N/C), same electrical behavior, and comparable threshold accuracy and quiescent current - enabling drop-in replacement in existing MC33464-based designs.
