Product details
Overview
LP3470A293DBVR from Texas Instruments is an ultra-low-power voltage supervisor IC designed for precise power-on reset and brownout detection in microcontroller systems. It features a factory-programmed 2.93 V reset threshold (±1% accuracy), programmable reset delay via external capacitor (50 µs to 6.2 s), open-drain active-low RESET output, and operates down to VCC = 0.95 V - ideal for battery-powered embedded control.
For engineers reviewing the LP3470A293DBVR datasheet, LP3470A293DBVR pinout, LP3470A293DBVR application, or LP3470A293DBVR equivalent, key selection considerations include reset threshold tolerance, quiescent current (0.3 µA typical), SRT capacitor-based timing flexibility, and immunity to short VCC transients in safety-critical power monitoring.
Technical Context
The LP3470A293DBVR implements a precision bandgap reference and comparator with hysteresis (75–125 mV for 2.93 V variant) to detect VCC falling below 2.93 V (VIT−) and rising above 3.03 V (VIT+). Its internal SRT pin resistance (350–650 kΩ) forms an RC time constant with an external capacitor to generate the reset timeout period.
It uses an open-drain N-channel MOSFET output stage requiring an external pull-up resistor, ensuring compatibility with mixed-voltage systems (RESET pulled up to ≤10 V independent of VCC). The device remains functional across −40°C to +125°C and draws only 0.3 µA typical supply current over temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold (VIT−) | 2.93 V ±1% (typical); ensures reliable microcontroller reset at defined supply rail margin |
| Quiescent Current (ICC) | 0.3 µA typical at 25°C; enables multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries |
| Operating Voltage Range | 0.95 V to 10 V; supports low-VCC brownout detection and wide-input industrial supplies |
| RESET Output Type | Open-drain, active-low; allows wired-OR configuration and level-shifting with external pull-up |
| Reset Timeout Range | 50 µs (SRT floating) to 6.2 s (10 µF capacitor); configurable timing without firmware overhead |
| Hysteresis (VHYS) | 100 mV typical (for 2.93 V variant); prevents oscillation during slow-rising/falling VCC transitions |
| Propagation Delay (tP_HL) | 15–30 µs; fast response to supply faults while rejecting sub-µs noise spikes |
Pinout & Package
LP3470A293DBVR is housed in a 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package measuring 1.60 mm × 2.90 mm, optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts and automated assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - SRT | Reset timeout programming input | Connect external capacitor to GND to set delay; floating = 50 µs minimum; 1 µF = ~619 ms |
| 2 - GND | Analog ground reference | Must be connected to system ground plane; serves as return for internal reference and SRT capacitor |
| 3 - VCC1 | Optional auxiliary supply pin | Can be left floating or tied to VCC; must never connect to GND - no current sink capability |
| 4 - VCC | Main supply and monitored voltage input | Monitors its own supply rail; RESET asserts when VCC drops below 2.93 V; valid down to 0.95 V |
| 5 - RESET | Open-drain active-low reset output | Drives low during fault; requires external pull-up (e.g., 20–100 kΩ to VCC or higher rail) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ±1% reset threshold accuracy | Guaranteed over −40°C to +125°C; eliminates need for external calibration in automotive/industrial designs |
| 0.3 µA typical quiescent current | Reduces standby power by >90% vs. legacy supervisors; extends battery life in portable instrumentation |
| Programmable reset delay (50 µs – 6.2 s) | Enables single-BOM flexibility across multiple timing requirements without firmware changes or part variants |
| Immunity to short VCC transients | Rejects <10 µs glitches with ≥5% overdrive; avoids false resets in noisy motor-drive or switching-regulator environments |
| Valid RESET assertion down to 0.95 V | Ensures clean processor reset even during deep brownout or Li-ion battery sag below 3.0 V |
Applications
| Microcontroller Power-On Reset | Battery-Powered Sensor Node |

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of LP3470A293DBVR?
The LP3470A293DBVR has a factory-programmed nominal reset threshold (VIT−) of 2.93 V, with ±1% accuracy over −40°C to +125°C. This value is laser-trimmed during production and specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Negative-going input threshold accuracy." The corresponding VIT+ (rising threshold) is 3.03 V due to 100 mV hysteresis.
How do I calculate the reset timeout period for LP3470A293DBVR?
The reset timeout period (tD) for LP3470A293DBVR is calculated using tD = 619 × CSRT (in µF) + 50 µs, where CSRT is the capacitor value in microfarads connected between SRT (Pin 1) and GND. For example, a 0.1 µF capacitor yields ~66.9 ms delay. The formula accounts for internal SRT resistance (350–650 kΩ) and process variation.
Can LP3470A293DBVR monitor a 5 V supply while driving a 3.3 V microcontroller RESET line?
Yes. LP3470A293DBVR's open-drain RESET output (Pin 5) can be pulled up to any voltage ≤10 V, independent of VCC. To interface with a 3.3 V MCU, connect a pull-up resistor (e.g., 47 kΩ) from RESET to the 3.3 V rail - not to VCC - enabling level-shifted reset signaling without additional logic.
Does LP3470A293DBVR require a bypass capacitor on VCC?
Yes. Texas Instruments recommends placing a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor as close as possible to the VCC pin (Pin 4) to suppress high-frequency noise and improve transient immunity. This minimizes false resets caused by switching regulator ripple or ESD-induced supply disturbances, especially in motor drive or industrial environments.
Is LP3470A293DBVR pin-compatible with other members of the LP3470A family?
Yes. All LP3470A variants - including LP3470A263DBVR, LP3470A275DBVR, and LP3470A293DBVR - share identical 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) packaging and pinout. They differ only in factory-set reset thresholds; no PCB layout change is needed when substituting between variants for design optimization or supply chain flexibility.
