Product details
Overview
PT7A7515WE from Diodes Incorporated is a precision μP supervisor IC with 2.63V 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 low-voltage detection via PFI/PFO for battery or power-fail warning in embedded control applications.
For engineers reviewing the PT7A7515WE datasheet, PT7A7515WE pinout, PT7A7515WE application, or PT7A7515WE equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed RESET validity down to VCC = 1.2V, TTL/CMOS-compatible manual reset input, 1.25V power-fail comparator threshold, watchdog timer interaction with MR, and SOIC-8W package compatibility with industrial PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device implements a precision voltage monitor with ±1.5% reset threshold tolerance at 2.63V nominal, coupled with a 200ms monostable reset generator triggered by VCC crossing, MR assertion, or brownout. Its internal 1.25V reference feeds both the reset comparator and independent PFI comparator.
The watchdog circuit uses a 1.6s timeout period with edge-sensitive WDI input; it clears automatically on RESET assertion or high-impedance WDI state. WDO output reflects watchdog timeout or low-VCC, while RESET remains asserted for full 200ms after recovery - ensuring reliable μP initialization across supply transients.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.63V ±1.5% - ensures reliable reset assertion before microprocessor VCC drops below functional minimum. |
| Reset Pulse Width | 200ms typ. - guarantees sufficient duration for full μP initialization and register clearing. |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6s typ. - provides robust software hang detection without excessive false triggers. |
| PFI Threshold | 1.25V ±20mV - enables accurate low-battery or power-fail detection independent of VCC. |
| Supply Current | 30µA typ. at 3.0V - supports ultra-low-power operation in battery-backed systems. |
| VCC Operating Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - compatible with 3.0V and 3.3V logic domains and legacy 5V designs. |
| RESET Validity | Down to VCC = 1.2V - maintains deterministic reset behavior during deep brownout conditions. |
Pinout & Package
PT7A7515WE is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (W) package - 150mil wide, RoHS-compliant, lead-free, and halogen-free per Diodes Incorporated "Green" definition.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (MR) | Manual Reset Input | Active-low TTL/CMOS-compatible trigger; internal 250µA pull-up enables switch or logic drive without external resistor. |
| 2 (VCC) | Power Supply | Primary supply rail (2.7–5.5V); powers all internal comparators, timers, and outputs. |
| 3 (GND) | Ground Reference | Common return path for all analog and digital functions; must be low-impedance for noise immunity. |
| 4 (PFI) | Power-Fail Input | Monitors external voltage against 1.25V reference; asserts PFO low when input falls below threshold. |
| 5 (WDO) | Watchdog Output | Open-drain active-low signal indicating watchdog timeout or VCC < reset threshold; no minimum pulse width. |
| 6 (RESET) | Reset Output | Active-low push-pull output; guaranteed low (≤0.4V) for 200ms after VCC rise or MR release. |
| 7 (WDI) | Watchdog Input | Edge-sensitive input; toggling within 1.6s prevents timeout; floating or high-Z disables watchdog. |
| 8 (PFO) | Power-Fail Output | Open-drain active-low output tied to PFI comparator; sinks current when PFI < 1.25V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision reset threshold | 2.63V with ±1.5% tolerance - eliminates need for external resistor divider calibration in 3.0V systems. |
| Guaranteed reset at low VCC | RESET valid down to 1.2V - ensures fail-safe behavior during deep undervoltage events. |
| Debounced manual reset | 140ms minimum pulse width on MR - suppresses mechanical switch bounce without external RC network. |
| Dual-function comparator | Shared 1.25V reference for both reset and PFI - improves tracking accuracy between supply monitoring and power-fail detection. |
| Watchdog timer integration | 1.6s timeout with automatic clear on RESET - prevents spurious NMI interrupts during system reset sequences. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Controller | Automotive Body Control Module |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Microcontroller supervises I/O expansion, CAN communication, and relay drivers in harsh electrical environments with frequent load-dump transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary reset supervisor asserting active-low RESET during VCC brownout and providing 1.25V-referenced PFO for battery voltage monitoring. Use Value: 200ms reset pulse ensures full firmware reload after transient-induced resets; 2.63V threshold aligns with 3.0V MCU VDD min spec. |
Use Scenario: Low-power microcontroller manages door locks, lighting, and window controls with backup battery support. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-role supervisor: monitors main 12V-to-3.3V supply via VCC, and detects backup battery depletion via PFI connected to battery divider. Use Value: Guaranteed RESET operation down to 1.2V enables safe shutdown sequencing before backup power loss; 30µA quiescent current extends battery life. |
| Medical Infusion Pump | Smart Energy Meter |
Use Scenario: Safety-critical MCU controls motor actuation and flow sensing; requires deterministic reset under line fluctuations and battery switchover. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fault-tolerant supervisor with MR input for emergency hardware reset and WDI-driven watchdog to detect firmware hangs. Use Value: Watchdog timeout (1.6s) and reset pulse (200ms) are independently configurable and electrically isolated - meeting IEC 62304 Class C timing requirements. |
Use Scenario: Metering SoC operates from AC-derived 3.3V rail and supercapacitor backup; must log last-read data before power loss. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Power-fail detector using PFI/PFO to trigger early interrupt before VCC crosses 2.63V reset threshold. Use Value: 1.25V PFI threshold allows precise setting of power-fail warning point (e.g., 2.4V on 3.3V rail via 2:1 divider), enabling >100ms data save window. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar μP supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6326UT26D3+ | 2.63V reset threshold, no watchdog, SOT23-3 package, 1.6µA ICC | Lacks WDI/WDO and PFI/PFO; only basic reset function | Select when minimal footprint and ultra-low power outweigh need for watchdog or power-fail warning. |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V reset threshold, adjustable delay, no PFI comparator, 1.6µA ICC | Higher reset threshold; no dedicated power-fail detection path | Choose for 3.3V systems requiring programmable reset delay but not dual-threshold monitoring. |
Compared with MAX6326UT26D3+ and TPS3808G33DBVR, PT7A7515WE uniquely integrates 2.63V precision reset, 1.25V PFI comparator, and 1.6s watchdog in one SOIC-8 - enabling compact, feature-complete supervision without external components or compromise on voltage thresholds.

FAQ
Can PT7A7515WE be used with a 3.3V microcontroller?
Yes. PT7A7515WE operates from 2.7V to 5.5V and features a 2.63V reset threshold - specifically designed to assert RESET before a 3.3V MCU drops below its 2.7V minimum operating voltage. Its RESET output is push-pull active-low and compatible with standard 3.3V logic inputs without level shifting.
How does the manual reset (MR) interact with the watchdog timer?
Asserting MR clears the watchdog timer and forces WDO high. During MR assertion, the watchdog is disabled and will not time out. Once MR is released, the timer restarts only if WDI is driven - floating or high-Z WDI keeps the watchdog inactive. This ensures no spurious WDO pulses during hardware-initiated resets.
What is the purpose of the PFI and PFO pins beyond power-fail detection?
PFI and PFO form a configurable voltage monitor: PFI accepts any external voltage (e.g., battery divider output), and PFO asserts low when that voltage falls below 1.25V. This enables low-battery warnings, brownout alerts for auxiliary rails, or custom threshold detection - independent of VCC and without loading the monitored source.
Is PT7A7515WE qualified for automotive applications?
PT7A7515WE is manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities and supports PPAP documentation. While not pre-qualified to AEC-Q100, Diodes Incorporated offers automotive-grade variants (e.g., PT7A7515WEXQ) with full qualification - contact Aetrix or Diodes for PPAP-ready versions and change-controlled automotive part numbers.
