Product details
Overview
TL7700CDGKT from Texas Instruments is a bipolar supply-voltage supervisor IC used for power-on reset generation in microcontroller, DSP, and FPGA systems. It features an adjustable 500 mV (±1%) sense threshold, 1.8 V to 40 V wide supply range, –40°C to 85°C operating temperature, 0.6 mA typical supply current at 40 V, and open-collector RESET output with 5 mA sink capability - deployed in industrial control and notebook power monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the TL7700CDGKT datasheet, TL7700CDGKT pinout, TL7700CDGKT application, or TL7700CDGKT equivalent, key selection considerations include its externally adjustable sense voltage and hysteresis via two resistors, timing capacitor–controlled reset pulse duration, bipolar process stability across automotive-grade voltage/temperature ranges, and VSSOP-8 package compatibility with space-constrained embedded designs.
Technical Context
The TL7700CDGKT integrates a precision 1.5 V temperature-compensated reference, fast comparator, constant-current timing generator (ICT = 15 µA typ), and npn open-collector output driver. Its SENSE input compares external divided voltage against a stable 500 mV internal reference, while CT pin enables programmable reset pulse width (tpo = Ct × 10⁵ s) independent of supply voltage.
Operation relies on bipolar technology for robustness across 1.8–40 V supply rails and –40°C to 85°C ambient. Hysteresis is set by resistor R₁ and sense current Is (2.5 µA typ), enabling stable triggering despite supply ripple - critical for reliable reset assertion in noisy industrial or automotive environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Sense Threshold | 500 mV ±1% at 25°C; sets minimum detectable supply voltage via external resistor divider |
| Supply Range | 1.8 V to 40 V; supports direct connection to unregulated 24 V industrial rails or 5 V logic supplies |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to 85°C; qualified for industrial and automotive under-hood applications |
| Supply Current | 0.6 mA typical at VCC = 40 V; enables low-power battery-backed supervision |
| RESET Output | Open-collector NPN; sinks up to 5 mA, requires external pullup for active-low reset signaling |
| Timing Control | CT pin charges at 15 µA typ; defines reset pulse duration (tpo) without external clock or MCU intervention |
| Hysteresis Source | Internal 2.5 µA sense current (±0.5 µA); enables precise hysteresis setting via single resistor R₁ |
Pinout & Package
VSSOP-8 (DGK) package: 3.00 mm × 3.00 mm body, 0.65 mm lead pitch, exposed pad not present, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CT | Timing capacitor interface | Connects to 15 µA constant-current source; sets RESET pulse width (tpo); open-circuit enables comparator mode |
| SENSE | Voltage monitoring input | Compares external divided voltage against 500 mV reference; sets system reset threshold |
| GND | Analog/digital ground | Low-impedance return path for reference, comparator, and output stages; minimizes noise coupling |
| RESET | Reset signal output | Active-low open-collector NPN; requires external pullup; drives MCU/FPGA reset pins directly |
| VCC | Power supply input | Accepts 1.8–40 V; powers all internal blocks including reference, comparator, and timing generator |
| NC | No internal connection | Pins 3, 6, 7 are unused; must be left floating or tied to GND per layout best practice |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

| Programmable hysteresis | Controlled by single resistor R₁ and internal 2.5 µA current; prevents chatter during supply ramp-up/down |
| Wide supply range | Operates from 1.8 V (LDO output) to 40 V (industrial bus); eliminates need for external regulator |
| Low quiescent current | 0.6 mA at 40 V enables direct connection to battery or AC line without burdening supply |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar supply-voltage supervision applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3808G01DBVR | CMOS process; fixed 1.0 V threshold; 2.9 µA IQ; push-pull output | Lower power but lacks adjustable threshold/hysteresis; requires external components for voltage scaling | Prefer when ultra-low IQ and fixed threshold suffice; avoid if rail-specific sensing or hysteresis tuning needed |
| MAX6326UT29D3+ | ±2.5% threshold accuracy; 1.13 V fixed reset; 1.6 µA IQ; open-drain output | Higher threshold tolerance; no external hysteresis adjustment; smaller SOT-23-3 package | Select for cost-sensitive, space-constrained designs where 1.13 V reset is acceptable and hysteresis is not required |
Compared with TPS3808G01DBVR and MAX6326UT29D3+, the TL7700CDGKT offers superior flexibility in threshold and hysteresis programming, wider supply range (1.8–40 V vs ≤6 V), and bipolar robustness for harsh environments - at the expense of higher quiescent current and larger VSSOP-8 footprint.

FAQ
What is the function of the CT pin on the TL7700CDGKT?
The CT pin on the TL7700CDGKT connects to an internal 15 µA constant-current source that charges an external timing capacitor. This charging determines the duration of the RESET output pulse (tpo = Ct × 10⁵ s). When CT is left open, the TL7700CDGKT operates as an adjustable-threshold noninverting comparator. The TL7700CDGKT datasheet specifies that driving CT with external voltage is prohibited due to internal structure limitations.
How is the sense voltage threshold adjusted for the TL7700CDGKT?
The TL7700CDGKT sense voltage threshold (Vs′) is adjusted using two external resistors (R₁ and R₂) forming a voltage divider from the monitored rail to GND, with the junction connected to the SENSE pin. Vs′ = 500 mV × (R₁ + R₂)/R₂. The TL7700CDGKT's internal 500 mV reference and 2.5 µA sense current enable simultaneous threshold and hysteresis (Vhys = Is × R₁) tuning - both confirmed in TI's SLVS220G datasheet Section 8.3.
What package type does the TL7700CDGKT use, and what are its dimensions?
The TL7700CDGKT uses the VSSOP-8 (DGK) package: 3.00 mm × 3.00 mm body size, 0.65 mm lead pitch, 8-pin surface-mount configuration. Per TI's packaging addendum, it has NiPdAu lead finish, MSL Level-1 rating, and is supplied in 250-unit small tape-and-reel format. The TL7700CDGKT's compact footprint supports high-density PCB layouts in space-constrained industrial and portable applications.
Does the TL7700CDGKT require an external pullup resistor on the RESET pin?
Yes, the TL7700CDGKT RESET pin is an npn open-collector output and requires an external pullup resistor to VCC or another logic rail. Typical values range from 2.2 kΩ to 10 kΩ depending on rise time and bus capacitance requirements. Without the pullup, the TL7700CDGKT cannot assert a high state - this is explicitly stated in the Pin Functions table (Section 5) of the TL7700CDGKT datasheet and verified in Figure 21's typical application circuit.
What is the maximum sink current capability of the TL7700CDGKT RESET output?
The TL7700CDGKT RESET output can sink up to 5 mA continuously, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table (Section 6.1). Under recommended operating conditions, it delivers 3 mA with VOL ≤ 0.8 V at 25°C. This sink capability allows direct interfacing with most microcontroller and FPGA reset inputs without additional buffering - a key design feature confirmed across TI's application notes and electrical characteristics tables for the TL7700CDGKT.
