Product details
Overview
NCP803SN308T1G from onsemi is a 3-pin SOT-23 microprocessor reset supervisor IC designed to monitor VCC in digital systems and assert an open-drain active-low RESET signal when supply voltage falls below 3.08 V. It features factory-trimmed 140–460 ms power-on reset timeout, operates from 1.2 V to 5.5 V, draws only 0.5 µA at 3.3 V, and supports industrial temperature range (−40°C to +105°C). It is used in embedded systems requiring reliable brownout detection and glitch-immune reset generation.
For engineers reviewing the NCP803SN308T1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include precise 3.08 V threshold accuracy (±2% over temperature), guaranteed RESET validity down to VCC = 1.0 V, transient immunity up to 100 mV/5 µs, no external components required, and Pb-free SOT-23 package compatibility with automated assembly.
Technical Context
The NCP803SN308T1G integrates a precision voltage detector, oscillator, and digital timeout counter to generate a deterministic reset pulse after VCC rises above 3.08 V. Its internal comparator uses trimmed reference circuitry to maintain ±2% threshold accuracy across −40°C to +105°C, with <30 ppm/°C temperature coefficient.
It employs an open-drain output stage capable of sinking 1.2 mA at VTH = 2.1–4.0 V, enabling flexible pull-up configuration to separate logic rails. The device rejects fast transients via internal filtering - negative excursions ≤100 mV lasting ≤5 µs do not trigger reset assertion.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 3.08 V ±2% (min 3.04 V, max 3.11 V at +25°C); ensures reliable detection of 3.3 V supply sags before system instability. |
| Reset Timeout | 140–460 ms (guaranteed minimum); provides sufficient hold time for microprocessor initialization and clock stabilization. |
| Supply Current | 0.5 µA typical at VCC = 3.3 V, +25°C; enables multi-year battery life in low-power IoT sensors and portable devices. |
| Operating Voltage Range | 1.2 V to 5.5 V; supports direct monitoring of 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5.0 V rails without level-shifting. |
| Temperature Range | −40°C to +105°C; qualified for industrial and extended-temperature embedded control applications. |
| VCC Transient Immunity | Rejects ≤100 mV negative glitches lasting ≤5 µs; prevents spurious resets during switching noise or ESD events. |
| RESET Output Type | Open-drain active-low; allows wired-OR configuration and interface to multiple voltage domains via external pull-up. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-3 (TO-236) package, 1.3 mm × 2.9 mm × 1.0 mm body, Pb-free, RoHS compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Ground reference for internal voltage reference and comparator; must be connected to system ground plane for accurate threshold sensing. |
| 2 | RESET | Open-drain active-low reset output; requires external pull-up resistor (typically 10–100 kΩ) to host logic rail; sinks up to 1.2 mA. |
| 3 | VCC | Power supply input; bypass capacitor (100 nF ceramic) recommended between VCC and GND for noise immunity and transient rejection. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision 3.08 V threshold | Factory-trimmed to ±2% tolerance over full temperature range; eliminates need for external resistor divider calibration. |
| No external components | Self-contained reset generation - no capacitors, resistors, or additional ICs required for basic operation. |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 0.5 µA at 3.3 V enables use in energy-harvesting and coin-cell-powered systems without compromising battery life. |
| VCC transient immunity | Internal filtering rejects ≤100 mV/5 µs supply noise; avoids false resets in electrically noisy environments like motor drives or SMPS proximity. |
| Valid RESET down to 1.0 V | Output remains actively driven until VCC drops to 1.0 V; ensures clean deassertion sequence during controlled power-down. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Controller | Smart Meter Power Monitoring |
|---|---|

Use Scenario: Portable ultrasound device with dual-voltage rails (3.3 V core, 1.8 V I/O) and strict safety-critical boot integrity requirements. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary reset source asserting active-low signal to ARM Cortex-M7; RESET valid down to VCC = 1.0 V ensures safe shutdown sequencing. Use Value: Factory-trimmed 3.08 V threshold matches nominal 3.3 V rail tolerance; −40°C to +105°C rating covers clinical operating environment extremes. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor reset monitoring applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX803SQ308T1G | Same 3.08 V threshold and 140–460 ms timeout, but SC-70-3 package (smaller footprint, different thermal resistance). | Preferred where board space is constrained and thermal dissipation is less critical than in SOT-23 layouts. | Select MAX803SQ308T1G only if SC-70 package compatibility and existing layout constraints justify requalification. |
| NCP803SN308D2T1G | Identical SOT-23-3 package and 3.08 V threshold, but shorter 20–66 ms timeout variant. | Suitable for fast-booting MCUs with minimal initialization delay requirements, not for systems needing longer stabilization windows. | Choose NCP803SN308D2T1G only when application timing budget permits sub-100 ms reset hold time. |
Compared with NCP803SN308T1G, MAX803SQ308T1G offers identical electrical behavior in a smaller SC-70 package with higher thermal resistance (314°C/W vs. 301°C/W), while NCP803SN308D2T1G trades guaranteed 140 ms minimum timeout for faster reset release - both require validation against specific PCB layout, thermal profile, and MCU boot timing.

FAQ
What is the exact reset voltage threshold of the NCP803SN308T1G?
The NCP803SN308T1G has a nominal reset threshold of 3.08 V, with guaranteed min/max values of 3.04 V and 3.11 V at +25°C. Over the full operating temperature range (−40°C to +105°C), the threshold remains within ±2% of 3.08 V, supported by a temperature coefficient of ≤30 ppm/°C per the datasheet.
Does the NCP803SN308T1G require external components to function?
No, the NCP803SN308T1G requires no external components for basic reset supervision. A 100 nF bypass capacitor between VCC and GND is recommended for optimal transient immunity, and an external pull-up resistor on the RESET pin is mandatory due to its open-drain output architecture - but no timing resistors or dividers are needed.
What is the guaranteed minimum reset timeout duration for the NCP803SN308T1G?
The NCP803SN308T1G guarantees a minimum reset timeout of 140 ms after VCC rises above the 3.08 V threshold. The maximum timeout is 460 ms, and this range is factory-trimmed - no user adjustment is possible. This ensures sufficient hold time for most 32-bit microcontrollers to initialize clocks and peripherals.
Can the NCP803SN308T1G operate with a 1.8 V supply rail?
Yes, the NCP803SN308T1G operates from 1.2 V to 5.5 V, so it can monitor a 1.8 V rail - but its fixed 3.08 V threshold means it will not assert reset unless that rail exceeds 3.08 V. For 1.8 V systems, a lower-threshold variant like NCP803SN160T1G (1.60 V) is appropriate; NCP803SN308T1G is intended for 3.3 V applications.
Is the NCP803SN308T1G pin-compatible with other parts in the NCP803 series?
Yes, all NCP803 variants in SOT-23-3 package - including NCP803SN308T1G, NCP803SN293T1G, and NCP803SN463T1G - share identical pinout (Pin 1: GND, Pin 2: RESET, Pin 3: VCC) and footprint. Threshold voltage and timeout duration differ by part number, but PCB layout and soldering process remain unchanged across the family.
