Product details
Overview
TPS3808EG33DBVR from Texas Instruments is a low-quiescent-current, fixed-threshold supervisory circuit designed to monitor 3.3V power rails and assert an open-drain RESET signal upon undervoltage detection. It features 1% typical threshold accuracy (3.07V), 0.6μA typical quiescent current, user-programmable reset delay from 1.25ms to 10s via external capacitor on CT pin, and operates across –40°C to +125°C. It is used in rack server motherboards and surgical equipment for reliable power-on reset sequencing.
For engineers reviewing the TPS3808EG33DBVR datasheet, TPS3808EG33DBVR pinout, TPS3808EG33DBVR application, or TPS3808EG33DBVR equivalent, key selection considerations include its 3.07V undervoltage threshold, SOT-23-6 package compatibility, open-drain RESET output requiring external pull-up, manual reset (MR) input with 90kΩ internal pull-up, and temperature-stable timing performance over industrial and automotive-grade operating range.
Technical Context
The TPS3808EG33DBVR implements a precision voltage comparator with 0.5% threshold accuracy referenced to an internal bandgap, coupled with a programmable RC-based timer using a 220nA on-chip current source to charge the external CT capacitor. Its functional architecture separates monitoring (SENSE pin), control (MR pin), and timing (CT pin) paths to avoid cross-coupling during transient events.
It operates in three distinct functional modes: normal operation above VDD(min) = 1.7V, undefined behavior below VPOR = 1V, and forced RESET assertion between VPOR and VDD(min). The device uses hysteresis (1–2.5%) to prevent chatter during threshold crossings and supports glitch immunity of 5µs on SENSE and 50ns on MR.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Threshold Voltage | 3.07V ±0.5% - precisely monitors nominal 3.3V rail with minimal tolerance drift over temperature |
| Quiescent Current | 0.6μA typical at 3.3V - enables multi-year battery life in always-on monitoring applications |
| Reset Delay Range | 1.25ms to 10s - set by external capacitor on CT pin; supports both fast microcontroller boot and slow power-rail stabilization |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - fully specified for under-hood automotive, industrial motor drives, and medical equipment |
| Output Type | Open-drain RESET - allows level-shifting up to 6V with external pull-up, compatible with diverse MCU reset inputs |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.7V to 6V - powers from single Li-ion cell or wide-input DC-DC outputs without external regulation |
| Hysteresis | 1–2.5% of VIT - prevents oscillation during slow-rising/falling supply transitions |
Pinout & Package
TPS3808EG33DBVR is housed in a 6-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package measuring 2.90mm × 1.60mm, optimized for high-density PCB layouts and automated assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: RESET | Open-drain output | Asserts low when SENSE < 3.07V or MR = low; requires 10kΩ–1MΩ external pull-up to define logic-high voltage |
| 2: GND | Ground reference | Primary analog and digital return path; must be connected to low-impedance system ground plane |
| 3: MR | Manual reset input | Active-low control: logic low ≤0.3×VDD forces RESET assertion; internally pulled up to VDD via 90kΩ resistor |
| 4: CT | Reset delay programming | Connect to GND via capacitor ≥130pF to set delay (1.25ms–10s); open = 20ms, tied to VDD via 40–200kΩ = 300ms |
| 5: SENSE | Voltage monitoring input | Direct connection to 3.3V rail; comparator trips at 3.07V with hysteresis; immune to ≤5µs transients at ≥5% overdrive |
| 6: VDD | Power supply input | Accepts 1.7–6V; requires 0.1µF ceramic decoupling capacitor placed adjacent to pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 3.07V threshold | Eliminates external resistor divider, reducing BOM count and layout area while guaranteeing 1% accuracy at 3.3V |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar supervisory circuit applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Same pinout and threshold (3.07V), but higher 1.5μA max IDD vs 1.5μA typ for TPS3808EG33DBVR; no AEC-Q100 qualification | Targeted at commercial/industrial use only; lacks extended temperature validation beyond 125°C junction | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs ultra-low-IDD requirement and automotive-grade validation is unnecessary |

FAQ
What is the exact undervoltage threshold voltage of the TPS3808EG33DBVR?
The TPS3808EG33DBVR has a factory-set undervoltage threshold of 3.07V with ±0.5% accuracy over –40°C to +125°C. This value corresponds to nominal 3.3V rail monitoring and is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table of the official datasheet (SNVSCE0B). The threshold is derived from a precision internal reference and does not require external calibration. TPS3808EG33DBVR maintains this accuracy across its full operating temperature and supply voltage range.
How is the reset delay time configured on the TPS3808EG33DBVR?
The reset delay time on the TPS3808EG33DBVR is configured via the CT pin: leaving CT open yields a 20ms typical delay; connecting CT to VDD through a 40kΩ–200kΩ resistor sets 300ms; connecting CT to GND via a capacitor ≥130pF enables user-programmable delays from 1.25ms to 10s. The delay is generated by an internal 220nA current source charging the external capacitor. TPS3808EG33DBVR's timing is characterized across temperature and supply voltage per Section 6.6 of the datasheet.
Does the TPS3808EG33DBVR require an external pull-up resistor on the RESET pin?
Yes, the TPS3808EG33DBVR features an open-drain RESET output and requires an external pull-up resistor between RESET and the target logic supply (typically 1.8V–6V). The recommended value is 10kΩ to 1MΩ. Without this resistor, the RESET signal cannot attain a valid high logic level. This design allows voltage-level translation and shared reset buses. TPS3808EG33DBVR's RESET pin sinks current only when asserted, making it compatible with mixed-voltage systems.
Can the TPS3808EG33DBVR monitor a voltage rail different from its VDD supply?
Yes, the TPS3808EG33DBVR supports independent monitoring via separate SENSE and VDD pins. For example, VDD can be powered from a local 3.3V LDO while SENSE monitors a remote 1.2V core rail (using an external resistor divider for adjustable variants) or a 3.3V system rail directly. This isolation prevents supply noise coupling and enables flexible power-domain supervision. TPS3808EG33DBVR's SENSE input accepts 0–6V, and its threshold remains fixed at 3.07V regardless of VDD value within 1.7–6V.
What is the maximum operating junction temperature specification for the TPS3808EG33DBVR?
The TPS3808EG33DBVR is fully specified for operation from –40°C to +125°C junction temperature (TJ). This rating is validated per the Recommended Operating Conditions table (Section 6.3) and Thermal Information (Section 6.4) in the datasheet. The device's low 0.6μA quiescent current minimizes self-heating, and its SOT-23-6 package exhibits a junction-to-board thermal resistance (RθJB) of 91.7°C/W. TPS3808EG33DBVR maintains parameter integrity-including threshold accuracy and delay stability-across this full range.
