Product details
Overview
SR1PAAU from STMicroelectronics is a 4-pin Smart Reset™ supervisory IC with factory-programmed 7.5 s Smart Reset delay (tSRC), 210 ms fixed reset pulse duration (tREC), active-low open-drain RST output, and active-low SR input without internal pull-up. It operates from 2 V to 5.5 V, draws only 1 µA supply current, and is qualified for -40 °C to +85 °C ambient. Used in wearable electronics to replace mechanical reset buttons while preventing spurious resets.
For engineers reviewing the SR1PAAU datasheet, SR1PAAU pinout, SR1PAAU application, or SR1PAAU equivalent, key selection criteria include tSRC/tREC timing precision, open-drain RST drive capability, undervoltage-safe high-Z behavior, and UDFN6 footprint compatibility with space-constrained wearables.
Technical Context
The SR1PAAU implements a deterministic two-stage reset logic: first, an extended setup delay (tSRC = 7.5 s typ.) filters short button presses; second, a factory-fixed reset assertion time (tREC = 210 ms typ.) guarantees system-level recovery regardless of push-button release timing. Its test mode entry requires overvoltage on SR (VCC + 0.9–1.4 V), enabling in-system validation without external hardware.
It supports mixed-voltage domain operation via fixed SR input thresholds and open-drain RST with optional internal pull-up. The device guarantees high-Z RST output during VCC power-up or brownout, eliminating false resets during supply ramping - critical for battery-powered wearables with variable VBAT profiles.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| tSRC delay | 7.5 s typical; factory-programmed fixed delay prevents accidental reset from brief button presses. |
| tREC pulse width | 210 ms typical; ensures minimum reset assertion time independent of user release timing. |
| VCC range | 2.0 V to 5.5 V; supports single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2 V) and dual-cell alkaline (2.4–3.2 V) systems. |
| ICC supply current | 1 µA typical at VCC = 3.3 V; enables multi-year battery life in always-on wearables. |
| Package | UDFN6 (1.00 mm × 1.45 mm × 0.50 mm); 0.5 mm pitch, footprint-optimized for compact PCBs. |
| Operating temp | -40 °C to +85 °C; validated for wrist-worn devices exposed to body heat and ambient temperature swings. |
| Reset output | Active-low open-drain RST; compatible with 1.8 V–5 V MCU reset inputs via external or internal pull-up. |
Pinout & Package
SR1PAAU is housed in a 6-pin UDFN package (1.00 mm × 1.45 mm, 0.50 mm pitch) with two unused pins (NC) bonded but electrically isolated and recommended to be connected to VSS for thermal and EMI stability.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RST | Active-low open-drain reset output; requires external or internal pull-up to define logic high level. |
| 2 | VSS | Ground reference for all internal circuitry; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane. |
| 3 | SR | Active-low Smart Reset input; no internal pull-up (per 'A' in part number); requires external pull-up or MCU-driven signal. |
| 4 | VCC | Positive supply input; requires 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
| 5 | NC | Not connected (not bonded); electrically floating but recommended to tie to VSS for mechanical stability. |
| 6 | NC | Not connected (not bonded); electrically floating but recommended to tie to VSS for mechanical stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

| Smart Reset delay (tSRC) | Factory-programmed 7.5 s typ. eliminates need for dedicated reset button and prevents accidental resets. |
| Fixed reset pulse (tREC) | 210 ms typ. ensures reliable processor reset completion even if user releases button prematurely. |
| Test mode entry | Voltage > VCC + 0.9 V on SR pin enables in-circuit verification without additional test fixtures. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Smart Reset applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6326TUT+T | Fixed 1.25 s reset timeout; no programmable tSRC; push-pull RST output only. | Lacks extended Smart Reset logic; suitable only for basic power-on reset, not user-initiated recovery. | Select when tREC-only timing suffices and board layout cannot accommodate open-drain pull-up. |
| TPS3808G12DBVR | Adjustable tRESET via external capacitor; no tSRC logic; requires external RC network for delay tuning. | Demands layout area and component tolerance management; less precise than factory-programmed tSRC. | Choose if design requires field-adjustable reset timing and accepts added bill-of-materials complexity. |
Compared with MAX6326TUT+T and TPS3808G12DBVR, SR1PAAU uniquely delivers factory-trimmed 7.5 s tSRC + 210 ms tREC in a 1.45 mm footprint, enabling robust user-triggered recovery without calibration or external components.

FAQ
What is the exact tSRC and tREC timing for SR1PAAU?
The SR1PAAU has a factory-programmed Smart Reset delay (tSRC) of 7.5 seconds typical, with ±20% variation over temperature (-40 °C to +85 °C). Its reset output pulse duration (tREC) is fixed at 210 ms typical, with min/max values of 140 ms and 280 ms respectively, per datasheet Table 4.
Does SR1PAAU require an external pull-up resistor on the SR input?
Yes - the 'A' in SR1PAAU indicates active-low SR input with no internal pull-up resistor. An external pull-up (typically 10–100 kΩ to VCC) is required to ensure proper logic-high idle state and enable clean low-going edge detection on button press.
Can SR1PAAU operate reliably during battery voltage sag?
Yes - the device guarantees high-Z (tri-state) behavior on the RST output when VCC drops below 2.0 V, preventing false resets during brownout. Its operating range starts at 2.0 V, and it maintains valid tSRC/tREC timing down to that threshold.
How is test mode triggered and verified on SR1PAAU?
Test mode is entered by applying ≥ VCC + 0.9 V to the SR pin (e.g., 4.2 V when VCC = 3.3 V). Entry is confirmed by observing RST go low for tSRC-INI (42 ms typ.). Releasing SR returns to normal mode only after full VCC power cycle - no software reset suffices.
