Product details
Overview
TDA3616T/N1,118 from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Philips) is a multiple-output automotive voltage regulator IC with integrated battery detection, reset generation, and load dump protection. It delivers a stable 5.0 V ±2.5% output at up to 150 mA, operates across −18 V to +50 V supply range, features dual Schmitt-triggered reset outputs (RES1/RES2), and supports backup capacitor hold-up for microcontroller safe shutdown in car radio and infotainment systems.
For engineers reviewing the TDA3616T/N1,118 datasheet, TDA3616T/N1,118 pinout, TDA3616T/N1,118 application, or TDA3616T/N1,118 equivalent, key selection criteria include its −18 V reverse polarity tolerance, 50 V load dump immunity, adjustable reset delay via external capacitor, VP-state controlled startup behavior (on >7.5 V, off <2.4 V), and dual protected reset signaling for automotive microprocessor supervision.
Technical Context
The TDA3616T/N1,118 integrates a foldback-current-limited 5 V linear regulator, two independent reset outputs with hysteresis (RES1 rising threshold 7.5 V, RES2 tracking VREG within ±65 mV), and a dedicated battery detection circuit with 2.1 V rising threshold and 0.1 V hysteresis. All outputs remain functional during load dump transients up to 50 V/50 ms.
Its architecture includes an internal backup switch enabling capacitor-assisted operation during supply loss, a 47 kΩ internal timer resistor for reset delay timing, and ESD protection on all pins. The regulator uses a single bandgap reference shared with reset comparators to ensure voltage tracking between VREG and RES2 thresholds.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5.0 V ±2.5% - tightly regulated supply for automotive microcontrollers requiring stable logic-level biasing |
| Supply Range | −18 V to +50 V - supports reverse-battery connection and ISO 7637-2 load dump pulses without external clamping |
| Quiescent Current | 95–125 µA standby - enables low-power battery monitoring in always-on vehicle modules |
| Reset Delay Timing | Adjustable via external capacitor (e.g., 2.6 ms with 100 nF) - provides programmable microcontroller initialization window after power-up |
| Drop-out Voltage | 0.6 V typical at 150 mA - allows operation down to VP = 5.6 V, critical for cold-cranking scenarios |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar automotive voltage regulator and reset supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLF35584QVVS1 | 3.3 V/5 V dual output; integrated watchdog; SPI configuration; higher integration but larger QFN48 package | Requires microcontroller firmware interaction; suited for ASIL-B safety-critical clusters, not simple drop-in replacement | Select only if SPI configurability, watchdog, or dual-rail output is required; not pin-compatible with TDA3616T/N1,118 |
| MAX6326–MAX6328 | Single reset IC (no regulator); 1–5 V adjustable threshold; no load dump rating or battery detection | Lacks voltage regulation and automotive transient protection - must be paired with external LDO and TVS | Use only as supplemental reset monitor alongside a separate automotive-grade regulator; no functional overlap in core capabilities |

FAQ
What is the minimum supply voltage required to activate the regulator in TDA3616T/N1,118?
The TDA3616T/N1,118 regulator switches ON only when the VP supply voltage exceeds 7.5 V (typical rising threshold). Below this level, the regulator remains disabled regardless of load conditions. This VP-state control ensures clean startup after cold cranking and prevents erratic operation during low-voltage transients. The TDA3616T/N1,118 will shut down when VREG drops below 2.4 V, providing defined brownout behavior.
How does the battery detection circuit in TDA3616T/N1,118 function, and what voltage thresholds apply?
The TDA3616T/N1,118 battery detection circuit uses a Schmitt trigger on VI(bat) with a 2.1 V rising threshold and 2.0 V falling threshold (0.1 V hysteresis), ensuring noise-immune recognition of valid battery presence. When VI(bat) exceeds 2.1 V, VO(bat) goes HIGH to signal battery availability. This feature enables early warning to the microcontroller before supply collapse, and the TDA3616T/N1,118 maintains this output even during load dump events.
Can TDA3616T/N1,118 operate during automotive load dump events, and what protection does it provide?
Yes, the TDA3616T/N1,118 is explicitly rated for 50 V load dump pulses lasting up to 50 ms with rise time ≥2.5 ms, per ISO 7637-2. Its VP pin withstands these transients without external clamping, and all internal circuits-including the regulator, reset outputs, and battery detector-remain fully operational. This eliminates the need for external TVS diodes in many automotive designs, simplifying layout and improving reliability of the TDA3616T/N1,118-based power system.
What is the purpose of the BU (backup) pin on TDA3616T/N1,118, and how is it used?
The BU pin on TDA3616T/N1,118 controls an internal switch that transfers energy from an external backup capacitor (≥150 nF) to sustain the REG output and reset logic when VP drops to zero. During supply interruption, the TDA3616T/N1,118 uses stored charge to maintain regulated 5 V output long enough for the microcontroller to execute safe shutdown routines, preventing data corruption. The BU pin enables seamless transition without external MOSFETs or diodes.
Is TDA3616T/N1,118 compatible with reverse battery connections, and what is its limit?
Yes, the TDA3616T/N1,118 is reverse polarity safe down to −18 V on the VP pin without drawing high reverse current, eliminating the need for a series input diode in battery-fed applications. This protection is intrinsic to the IC's design and applies during both operating and non-operating states. The TDA3616T/N1,118 maintains functionality across its full −40 °C to +105 °C temperature range under reverse bias, making it suitable for automotive environments where battery terminal reversal may occur during service.
