Product details
Overview
TDA3606T/N1,118 from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Philips) is a monolithic multiple-voltage regulator IC with integrated battery detection and dual reset outputs, designed for automotive microprocessor power management. It delivers a stable 5.0 V ±2% output at up to 50 mA, operates across −18 V to +50 V supply range, features load dump protection, and enables controlled microprocessor startup in car radio systems.
For engineers reviewing the TDA3606T/N1,118 datasheet, TDA3606T/N1,118 pinout, TDA3606T/N1,118 application, or TDA3606T/N1,118 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world automotive use cases, and validated alternative options for robust system design under harsh electrical conditions.
Technical Context
The TDA3606T/N1,118 integrates a foldback-current-limited 5 V linear regulator, two Schmitt-trigger-based reset outputs (RES1 and RES2), and a dedicated battery voltage detection circuit with hysteresis. Its VP input withstands load dump pulses up to 50 V for 50 ms and reverse battery voltages down to −18 V without high reverse current.
Startup behavior is precisely defined: regulator enables when VP exceeds 7.5 V (typ.), disables when regulated output falls below 2.4 V (typ.), and both RES1/RES2 assert after an external RC delay. RES2 only goes HIGH when RES1 is HIGH and regulator output remains within 4.35–4.6 V window - ensuring valid power sequencing before microprocessor release.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5.0 V ±2% (4.8–5.2 V over load and temperature); ensures stable MCU core supply in automotive environments. |
| Supply Range | −18 V to +50 V; supports reverse-battery safety and ISO 7637-2 load dump immunity without external protection. |
| Quiescent Current | 95–120 µA (standby mode); enables low-power battery monitoring during vehicle ignition-off state. |
| Drop-out Voltage | ≤0.4 V at 50 mA; allows operation down to VP = 5.4 V, critical for cold-cranking scenarios. |
| Reset Thresholds | RES1 triggers after fixed RC delay; RES2 asserts only when VREG ≥4.35 V - prevents premature MCU release during brownout. |
| Ripple Rejection | 60 dB at 200 Hz; suppresses alternator noise and switching transients on the 5 V rail. |
| Thermal Resistance | 155 K/W (junction-to-ambient); defines maximum continuous output current as function of ambient temperature and PCB layout. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SO8 (SOT96-1), plastic small outline, 8-lead, 3.9 mm body width, RoHS-compliant lead finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 VI(bat) | Battery input voltage sense | Connects to vehicle battery via resistor divider; feeds Schmitt-trigger for low-battery detection (2.05 V typ. rising threshold). |
| 2 VO(bat) | Battery detection output | Open-collector logic-level output indicating battery status; pulled HIGH internally when VI(bat) >2.05 V. |
| 3 VC | Reset delay capacitor connection | External capacitor (e.g., 47 nF) sets reset timing; delay = Cd × Vthr / Ich ≈ 40–125 ms typical. |
| 4 GND | Ground reference | Common return for regulator, reset buffers, and battery detector; must be low-impedance for noise immunity. |
| 5 RES2 | Secondary reset output | Active-HIGH signal asserting only when VREG ≥4.35 V and RES1 is HIGH - confirms regulator stability before MCU release. |
| 6 RES1 | Primary reset output | Active-HIGH reset signal with internal 4.7 kΩ pull-up; initiates MCU initialization after power-on delay. |
| 7 REG | Regulated 5 V output | Delivers up to 50 mA (25 °C) with foldback current limiting; short-circuit safe to ground or VP. |
| 8 VP | Main supply input | Accepts −18 V to +50 V; includes built-in load dump protection and reverse-polarity safety without external components. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent reset outputs | RES1 provides timed power-on reset; RES2 adds voltage-valid confirmation - eliminates need for external supervisor IC. |
| Integrated battery detection | Schmitt-trigger input (VI(bat)) with 0.1 V hysteresis enables reliable low-battery warning without external comparators. |
| Load dump & reverse polarity protection | Withstands 50 V/50 ms transients and −18 V reverse battery - removes requirement for TVS diodes or polarity protection MOSFETs. |
| Foldback current limiting | Reduces power dissipation during short-circuit (Iscr = 15–60 mA); prevents thermal runaway and enables safe 0.5 Ω load shorts. |
| Defined start-up behavior | Regulator enables at VP >7.5 V and disables at VREG <2.4 V - guarantees clean, repeatable MCU boot sequence across temperature. |
Applications
| Car Radio Power Management | Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage regulator with reset and battery detection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL7705CP | Single reset output only; no battery detection; 5 V output tolerance ±3%; no load dump rating above 26 V. | Lacks RES2 validation and VI(bat) interface - requires external comparator for battery monitoring. | Choose TL7705CP only if dual-reset and battery sensing are unnecessary and supply transients remain below 26 V. |
| MAX6326US31D3+ | 3.08 V reset threshold; no regulator output; requires external 5 V supply; rated for 6 V max input. | Cannot replace TDA3606T/N1,118's integrated regulation - only suitable as standalone reset supervisor with separate LDO. | Select MAX6326US31D3+ only when using a discrete 5 V LDO and needing ultra-low quiescent current (1 µA) with precise 3.08 V reset. |
Compared with TL7705CP and MAX6326US31D3+, the TDA3606T/N1,118 uniquely combines 5 V regulation, dual sequenced resets, battery detection, and 50 V load dump protection in one SO8 package - eliminating four external components required by either alternative.

FAQ
What is the minimum supply voltage required for the TDA3606T/N1,118 regulator to turn on?
The TDA3606T/N1,118 regulator enables when the VP supply voltage exceeds 7.5 V (typical), with a guaranteed turn-on threshold between 6.2 V and 8.2 V. This ensures reliable startup during engine cranking where battery voltage may dip to 6–7 V, while preventing false triggering from noise or transients.
How does the TDA3606T/N1,118 provide load dump protection without external components?
The TDA3606T/N1,118 withstands 50 V load dump pulses for 50 ms (with rise time ≥2.5 ms) due to internal clamping and robust junction design. Its VP pin is rated for 50 V absolute maximum, and its foldback current limit prevents thermal damage during sustained overvoltage - eliminating need for external TVS diodes.
Can the TDA3606T/N1,118 operate with a reverse battery connection?
Yes - the TDA3606T/N1,118 is reverse-polarity safe down to −18 V on the VP pin without drawing high reverse current. This protects the device during incorrect battery installation in automotive service environments, meeting ISO 16750-2 requirements for reverse voltage exposure.
What is the purpose of the dual reset outputs (RES1 and RES2) in the TDA3606T/N1,118?
RES1 provides a timed power-on reset after VP stabilization; RES2 asserts only when the 5 V regulator output reaches ≥4.35 V - confirming valid voltage before releasing the microprocessor. This two-stage reset prevents MCU execution during brownout, a key reliability feature in automotive systems.
What external components are required for basic operation of the TDA3606T/N1,118?
Only three external components are mandatory: a 10 µF output capacitor on REG (pin 7), a timing capacitor (e.g., 47 nF) on VC (pin 3), and a resistor divider on VI(bat) (pin 1) for battery threshold setting. No input capacitor, TVS, or external reset IC is required - enabling minimal BOM implementation.
