Product details
Overview
PT7A7511WEX from Diodes Incorporated is a precision μP supervisor IC with active-low reset output, 4.63V supply-voltage monitoring threshold, 200ms reset pulse width, debounced manual reset input, and integrated watchdog timer (1.6s timeout). It operates across -40°C to +85°C and guarantees RESET validity down to VCC = 1.2V, enabling reliable power-up/brownout detection in embedded microprocessor systems.
For engineers reviewing the PT7A7511WEX datasheet, PT7A7511WEX pinout, PT7A7511WEX application, or PT7A7511WEX equivalent, this device serves as a drop-in voltage monitor and reset controller for 5V microcontroller power rails-particularly where deterministic reset timing, low-voltage operation, and watchdog supervision are required without external components.
Technical Context
The PT7A7511WEX integrates a precision bandgap-based voltage reference (1.25V) for PFI monitoring and a separate 4.63V reset threshold comparator with ±1.5% accuracy at 25°C. Its internal 200ms one-shot timer ensures consistent reset assertion duration independent of supply ramp rate.
It features TTL/CMOS-compatible MR input with 250µA internal pull-up, enabling direct switch or logic-level triggering; WDI accepts edge- or level-sensitive watchdog stimuli, and WDO asserts low on timeout or VCC brownout-functionally decoupled from RESET but synchronizable via MR tie-back.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.63V ±1.5% - sets precise brownout detection point for 5V systems |
| Reset Pulse Width | 200ms typ. - guarantees sufficient duration to initialize microcontrollers |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6s typ. - provides fail-safe recovery window for firmware hangs |
| PFI Threshold | 1.25V ±20mV - enables accurate low-battery or power-fail warning |
| Supply Current | 30µA typ. - minimizes quiescent load in battery-backed applications |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C - supports industrial-grade embedded deployment |
| VCC Validity | RESET guaranteed functional down to 1.2V - ensures reset integrity during deep brownout |
Pinout & Package
PT7A7511WEX is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (W), 150-mil wide package with standard JEDEC MS-012AC footprint and thermal characteristics suitable for reflow soldering.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (MR) | Manual Reset Input | Active-low trigger; internally pulled up with 250µA; accepts TTL/CMOS logic or mechanical switch |
| 2 (VCC) | Power Supply | Primary supply rail (4.5–5.5V); powers all internal comparators and timers |
| 3 (GND) | Ground Reference | Common return path for all analog and digital circuitry |
| 4 (PFI) | Power-Fail Input | Monitors external voltage against 1.25V reference; asserts PFO when <1.25V |
| 5 (WDO) | Watchdog Output | Open-drain active-low output signaling watchdog timeout or VCC brownout |
| 6 (RESET) | Reset Output | Active-low open-drain output; pulses low for 200ms on power-up, brownout, or MR assertion |
| 7 (WDI) | Watchdog Input | Level- or edge-sensitive input; resets watchdog timer on transition; floating disables timer |
| 8 (PFO) | Power-Fail Output | Open-drain active-low output asserting when PFI <1.25V; used for battery-low alerts |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision 4.63V reset threshold | ±1.5% tolerance ensures consistent brownout response across temperature and unit variance |
| Guaranteed RESET operation at VCC ≥1.2V | Enables robust reset assertion even during severe undervoltage conditions |
| Debounced MR input with 200ms minimum pulse | Eliminates need for external RC debounce circuitry in push-button reset designs |
| Independent 1.25V PFI comparator | Allows flexible power-fail or low-battery monitoring without sharing reset threshold |
| Watchdog timer with 1.6s timeout | Provides hardware-enforced firmware recovery without requiring CPU clock or software intervention |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Controller | Automotive Body Control Module |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar μP supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX809SEUR+T | 4.63V reset threshold, no watchdog, no PFI/PFO, SOT-23-3 package | Lacks power-fail monitoring and watchdog; suited only for basic reset-only use cases | Select when board space is constrained and only reset functionality is needed |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V reset threshold, adjustable watchdog (0.5–10s), 1.2V VCC min, SOT-23-6 | Lower threshold and wider watchdog range; requires external resistor for timeout setting | Select for 3.3V systems needing programmable watchdog timing and higher integration density |
Compared with MAX809SEUR+T and TPS3808G33DBVR, PT7A7511WEX uniquely combines fixed 4.63V supervision, integrated 1.25V PFI comparator, and 1.6s watchdog in a single 8-SOIC package-offering full feature parity for 5V microcontroller systems without design compromises.

FAQ
Can PT7A7511WEX be used in 3.3V systems?
No. PT7A7511WEX is specified for 4.5–5.5V operation and features a 4.63V reset threshold optimized for 5V microcontroller rails. For 3.3V systems, Diodes offers PT7A7513WEX (3.08V threshold) or PT7A7514WEX (2.93V threshold), both in the same 8-SOIC package and pinout.
What happens if WDI is left unconnected?
Leaving WDI floating disables the watchdog timer function. WDO then acts solely as a low-line indicator-asserting low only when VCC drops below the 4.63V reset threshold. This behavior is confirmed in the datasheet's Functional Description section and verified in the Watchdog Timing Diagram.
Is the PFI input internally referenced?
Yes. The PFI pin connects to the inverting input of an internal comparator whose non-inverting input is tied to a precision 1.25V bandgap reference. When PFI voltage falls below 1.25V (±20mV), PFO pulls low-enabling standalone power-fail or battery-low detection without external reference components.
Does PT7A7511WEX support reset pulse extension?
No. The reset pulse width is fixed at 200ms (160–280ms over temperature) and cannot be extended externally. The internal one-shot timer is not user-adjustable; any requirement for longer reset duration must be implemented with external monostable circuitry or firmware-controlled delay after RESET deassertion.
