Product details
Overview
TL7700CPW 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%) internal sense threshold, 1.8 V to 40 V wide supply range, –40°C to 85°C operating temperature, and open-collector RESET output with 1.5 mA sink capability - enabling reliable reset assertion during brownout or startup in industrial and automotive power rails.
For engineers reviewing the TL7700CPW datasheet, TL7700CPW pinout, TL7700CPW application, or TL7700CPW equivalent, this device supports configurable voltage monitoring via external resistor dividers, programmable hysteresis, and timing-capacitor–controlled reset pulse duration - critical for robust system initialization in embedded control, computing, and power management designs.
Technical Context
The TL7700CPW integrates a precision 1.5 V temperature-compensated reference, fast comparator, constant-current timing generator (ICT = 15 µA typ), and npn open-collector output stage. Its SENSE input compares externally divided rail voltage against a stable 500 mV threshold, while CT pin controls reset pulse width via capacitor charging.
Operation is fully functional across 1.8 V–40 V VCC, with low ICC = 0.6 mA (typ, VCC = 40 V) and guaranteed performance over –40°C to 85°C. The device does not require external clock or biasing - all core functions are self-contained within the monolithic bipolar die.
Key Specifications

| Supply Current (ICC) | 0.6 mA typical at VCC = 40 V - enables battery-backed or energy-constrained supervision |
| Hysteresis Control | Adjustable via R1 resistor (Vhys = Is × R1, Is = 2.5 µA typ) - prevents chatter on noisy supply lines |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-8 (PW) package, 3.00 mm × 4.40 mm body, 0.65 mm pitch, RoHS-compliant NIPDAU finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - CT | Timing capacitor connection | Internal 15 µA current source charges external capacitor to define RESET pulse width; open-circuit enables comparator-only mode |
| 2 - SENSE | Voltage sense input | Compares external resistor-divided rail voltage against 500 mV reference; hysteresis set by series resistor to GND |
| 3, 6, 7 - NC | No internal connection | Unbonded pins; must be left floating or tied to GND per layout best practice - no electrical function |
| 4 - GND | Ground reference | Low-impedance return path for internal reference, comparator, and output stage; critical for noise immunity |
| 5 - VCC | Power supply input | Accepts 1.8 V–40 V unregulated input; powers all internal blocks including reference and output driver |
| 8 - RESET | Reset output | Active-low open-collector npn output; sinks current when SENSE falls below threshold - requires external pullup resistor |

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-based, 3.3 V fixed threshold, 1.8–6.0 V supply, 1.6 µA IQ, push-pull output | Lower IQ and smaller footprint, but fixed threshold limits flexibility on non-standard rails | Prefer for low-power 3.3 V systems where adjustable threshold is unnecessary and board space is constrained |
| MAX6816EUT+T | Bipolar, 5 V fixed threshold, 2.7–5.5 V supply, 15 µA IQ, open-collector output, debounced inputs | Includes built-in noise filtering; narrower supply range excludes 12 V/24 V direct monitoring | Choose when monitoring clean 5 V rails with high EMI susceptibility and no need for rail scaling |
Compared with TPS3808G01DBVR and MAX6816EUT+T, the TL7700CPW uniquely supports wide-input (1.8–40 V), adjustable-threshold supervision with user-defined hysteresis - making it the only option among the three suitable for direct 24 V industrial or automotive rail monitoring without external level-shifting.

FAQ
What is the exact sense voltage threshold of the TL7700CPW, and how is it used?
The TL7700CPW has a nominal internal sense threshold of 500 mV ±1% at 25°C. This voltage serves as the reference point for the internal comparator - when the voltage applied to the SENSE pin falls below this value, the RESET output is actively pulled low. Engineers use two external resistors to scale higher system rail voltages (e.g., 5 V, 12 V, 24 V) down to match this 500 mV threshold, enabling flexible undervoltage detection across diverse power domains. The TL7700CPW's precision and temperature stability make it suitable for applications where tight voltage margin control is required.
Can the TL7700CPW operate directly from a 24 V supply without external regulation?
Yes, the TL7700CPW supports a continuous supply voltage range of 1.8 V to 40 V, so it can be powered directly from an unregulated 24 V rail. No external LDO or regulator is needed - the internal bipolar circuitry is designed to function reliably across this full range while maintaining specified accuracy and timing behavior. This capability simplifies power architecture in industrial and automotive systems, reducing component count and improving efficiency. The TL7700CPW's low 0.6 mA typical supply current further enhances suitability for always-on supervision in such applications.
How is reset pulse duration controlled on the TL7700CPW?
Reset pulse duration on the TL7700CPW is set by an external timing capacitor (CT) connected to Pin 1. An internal 15 µA (typ) constant-current source charges CT; when its voltage exceeds the internal comparator threshold, the RESET output transitions high. Pulse width follows tpo ≈ Ct × 10⁵ seconds - e.g., 100 nF yields ~10 ms. Even with CT = 0, minimum propagation delay is ~5–10 µs due to internal switching speed limits. This programmability allows designers to tailor reset hold time precisely to system power-up requirements - a key feature distinguishing the TL7700CPW from fixed-delay supervisors.
Is the TL7700CPW pin-compatible with other packages in the TL7700 family?
No - the TL7700CPW uses the TSSOP-8 (PW) package, which shares the same 8-pin pinout and function mapping as the PDIP (P) and SO (PS) variants per TI's official pin configuration diagrams. However, physical dimensions, thermal characteristics (e.g., RθJA = 172.9°C/W for PW vs. 112.5°C/W for PS), and moisture sensitivity (MSL Level-1 for PW) differ. While electrical functionality and pin assignments are identical across P, PS, and PW packages, PCB layout and thermal management must be validated separately for each package type. The TL7700CPW is not compatible with the VSSOP-8 (DGK) variant, which has different pin numbering.
Does the TL7700CPW require a pullup resistor on the RESET pin?
Yes, the TL7700CPW features an open-collector npn RESET output (Pin 8), which can only sink current - it cannot actively drive high. A pullup resistor to the target logic rail (e.g., 3.3 V or 5 V) is mandatory to ensure a defined HIGH state when the output transistor is off. Typical values range from 4.7 kΩ to 10 kΩ, selected based on rise time requirements and bus loading. Without this pullup, the RESET signal floats undefined, risking improper system initialization. This requirement is inherent to the TL7700CPW's output architecture and applies identically across all TL7700 package variants.
