Product details
Overview
PT7A7514WEX from Diodes Incorporated is a precision μP supervisor IC with 2.93V reset threshold, active-low RESET output, 200ms reset pulse width, and integrated watchdog timer (1.6s timeout). It monitors VCC during power-up/down/brownout in microprocessor systems and provides power-fail detection via 1.25V PFI comparator - used in industrial control modules requiring reliable cold-start sequencing and brownout immunity.
For engineers reviewing the PT7A7514WEX datasheet, PT7A7514WEX pinout, PT7A7514WEX application, or PT7A7514WEX equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed RESET validity down to VCC = 1.2V, TTL/CMOS-compatible manual reset input, debounced MR interface, and SOIC-8 packaging for space-constrained embedded designs.
Technical Context
The PT7A7514WEX implements a precision bandgap-based voltage monitor with ±1.5% reset threshold tolerance at 2.93V nominal, ensuring accurate brownout detection across -40°C to +85°C. Its internal 200ms one-shot timer guarantees minimum reset assertion duration independent of supply ramp rate.
It integrates a 1.6s watchdog timer with edge-sensitive WDI input and open-drain WDO output, plus a dedicated 1.25V reference-based power-fail comparator (PFI/PFO) that operates independently of reset logic - enabling low-battery warning without affecting system reset behavior.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.93V ±1.5% - ensures reliable brownout detection at 3.3V rail with margin against noise-induced false resets |
| Reset Pulse Width | 200ms typ. - meets minimum reset hold time for ARM Cortex-M0/M3 and legacy 8051 microcontrollers |
| Supply Voltage Range | 3.0V to 5.5V - supports operation across 3.3V and 5V logic domains without external level shifting |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6s typ. - provides sufficient window for firmware watchdog servicing in real-time control loops |
| PFI Threshold | 1.25V ±20mV - enables accurate low-battery detection when monitoring divided battery voltage |
| Quiescent Current | 30µA typ. - minimizes standby power in battery-backed systems such as smart sensors and metering endpoints |
| RESET Validity | Down to VCC = 1.2V - guarantees reset assertion during deep undervoltage conditions before silicon latch-up |
Pinout & Package
PT7A7514WEX is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (150mil wide), RoHS-compliant, lead-free package with standard JEDEC MS-012AC footprint and thermal performance suitable for reflow soldering in industrial PCB assemblies.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| MR | Manual Reset Input | Active-low TTL/CMOS-compatible trigger with 250µA internal pull-up; debounced by 200ms reset timer |
| VCC | Positive Supply | Primary power input (3.0–5.5V); powers all internal comparators, timer, and output drivers |
| GND | Ground Reference | Common return path for all analog and digital circuitry; must be low-impedance for noise immunity |
| PFI | Power-Fail Input | Analog input referenced to 1.25V internal bandgap; asserts PFO low when voltage drops below threshold |
| WDO | Watchdog Output | Open-drain output pulled low on timeout or VCC brownout; requires external pull-up for NMI interrupt use |
| RESET | Reset Output | Active-low open-drain output; asserted for ≥200ms during power-up, brownout, or MR activation |
| WDI | Watchdog Input | Edge-sensitive input; toggling within 1.6s clears watchdog timer; floating disables watchdog function |
| PFO | Power-Fail Output | Open-drain output low when PFI < 1.25V; used for battery-low alerts or auxiliary shutdown signaling |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision reset threshold | 2.93V ±1.5% over full temperature range ensures consistent brownout response in automotive under-hood environments |
| Guaranteed RESET at low VCC | Valid down to 1.2V supply enables fail-safe reset assertion even during severe undervoltage transients |
| Integrated power-fail comparator | Dedicated 1.25V reference and PFI/PFO pair allows independent low-battery monitoring without loading reset circuitry |
| Debounced manual reset | 250µA internal MR pull-up eliminates need for external RC network while supporting push-button and logic-level triggering |
| Watchdog with edge sensitivity | Accepts >50ns pulses on WDI - compatible with fast GPIO toggling in modern MCUs without timing-critical software overhead |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Module | Smart Energy Meter |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Power cycling during field maintenance or grid voltage sags. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervisor ensures MCU remains held in reset until stable 3.3V rail is established post-sag. Use Value: Prevents corrupted EEPROM writes and spurious relay actuation during marginal supply conditions. |
Use Scenario: Battery-backed real-time clock and metrology ASIC operation during AC mains failure. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: PFI monitors divided battery voltage; PFO triggers backup mode entry before brownout. Use Value: Enables seamless transition to battery power with no data loss in billing registers or time stamps. |
| Automotive Body Control Module | Medical Patient Monitor |
|
Use Scenario: Cold cranking with battery voltage dipping to 2.8V. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Resets MCU only when VCC falls below 2.93V - avoids nuisance resets during transient dips. Use Value: Maintains CAN communication continuity and lamp control state during engine start. |
Use Scenario: Dual-supply system with main DC input and backup coin cell. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monitors both supplies: RESET ensures safe boot on main rail; PFO warns of coin cell depletion. Use Value: Supports FDA-required "low-battery alert" functionality without adding discrete comparators. |
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 | 2.93V reset threshold, no watchdog, no PFI/PFO, SOT-23-3 package | Lacks power-fail detection and watchdog - suitable only for basic reset-only use cases | Select when board space is critical and supervisory features beyond reset are handled elsewhere |
| TPS3808G18DBVR | 1.8V reset threshold, adjustable delay, no PFI, 6-pin SOT-23 | Lower threshold and no power-fail comparator - incompatible with 3.3V brownout detection | Choose only if system operates at ≤2.5V and requires programmable reset delay |
Compared with MAX809SEUR+T and TPS3808G18DBVR, PT7A7514WEX uniquely combines 2.93V precision reset, integrated watchdog, and independent power-fail detection in a single SOIC-8 package - eliminating three discrete components in 3.3V industrial and automotive designs.

FAQ
Can PT7A7514WEX be used with a 3.3V microcontroller?
Yes. PT7A7514WEX operates from 3.0V to 5.5V and features a 2.93V reset threshold with ±1.5% tolerance - providing 70mV margin above typical 3.3V rail dropout, ensuring robust brownout detection without premature reset assertion during normal 3.3V operation.
Does the watchdog timer require external components?
No. The 1.6s watchdog timer is fully internal and requires only a clean WDI signal from the MCU. Floating WDI disables the watchdog; connecting WDI to a GPIO pin and toggling it within 1.6s clears the timer. No capacitors or resistors are needed for timing.
What is the function of the PFI and PFO pins?
PFI is an analog input referenced to an internal 1.25V bandgap. When voltage at PFI drops below 1.25V, PFO (open-drain) pulls low. This enables standalone low-battery or power-fail detection - e.g., monitoring a resistor-divided battery voltage - independent of the reset function.
Is PT7A7514WEX qualified for automotive applications?
PT7A7514WEX is not AEC-Q100 qualified. Diodes Incorporated offers automotive-grade variants (e.g., PT7A7514WEX-13) with PPAP documentation and IATF 16949 manufacturing - contact Aetrix Electronics for qualified alternatives meeting AEC-Q100 Grade 2 (-40°C to +105°C) requirements.
