Product details
Overview
TL7705ACP/A from STMicroelectronics is a precision supply voltage supervisor IC designed for power-on and brown-out reset generation in microprocessor and microcontroller systems. It features a 4.5 V ±50 mV threshold voltage, true/complement RESET outputs, externally adjustable reset pulse width (via CT pin), and operates across 3.6 V to 18 V supply range with temperature-compensated reference.
For engineers reviewing the TL7705ACP/A datasheet, TL7705ACP/A pinout, TL7705ACP/A application, or TL7705ACP/A equivalent, key selection considerations include its adjustable reset timeout, dual active-high/active-low outputs, 4.5 V sensing threshold, and SO-8 package compatibility with legacy 5 V and 3.3 V embedded control systems.
Technical Context
The TL7705ACP/A integrates a precision bandgap voltage reference and comparator with hysteresis (15 mV typical) to detect supply drops below 4.5 V. Its internal timing circuit generates a programmable reset pulse width via external capacitor on CT (pin 3), with tpo = 1.3 × 10⁴ × CT (CT in farads).
It provides simultaneous active-high RESET and active-low RESET outputs, enabling direct interface with both NMOS and PMOS reset inputs. The REF output (pin 1) supplies a stable 2.53 V reference and requires a 0.1 µF bypass capacitor to suppress fast transients.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 3.6 V to 18 V - supports wide-input industrial and automotive power rails without external regulation |
| Sense Threshold Voltage | 4.5 V ±50 mV - precise detection of 5 V system undervoltage conditions |
| Reference Voltage | 2.53 V (typ.) - stable, temperature-compensated reference for external monitoring or calibration |
| Reset Pulse Width | Adjustable via CT pin (0.65–2.6 ms @ 0.1 µF) - ensures sufficient reset hold time for diverse MCU clock domains |
| Hysteresis | 15 mV (typ.) - prevents chatter during slow-rising or noisy supply transitions |
| Operating Temperature | 0 °C to 70 °C - qualified for commercial-grade embedded control applications |
| Output Drive | ±16 mA - directly drives standard TTL/CMOS reset inputs without buffer stages |
Pinout & Package
TL7705ACP/A is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (SO-8) surface-mount package with standard 1.27 mm pitch, JEDEC MS-012AC compliant dimensions, and moisture sensitivity level MSL3.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (REF) | Reference Output | 2.53 V buffered reference; requires 0.1 µF decoupling to GND for noise immunity |
| 2 (GND) | Ground Reference | System ground return for all internal circuits and output drivers |
| 3 (CT) | Timing Capacitor Input | Connects external capacitor to set reset pulse width (tpo = 1.3×10⁴ × CT) |
| 4 (RESET) | Active-High Reset Output | Open-collector high-level output; pulled up externally to define logic high |
| 5 (SENSE) | Supply Monitoring Input | Monitors VCC; triggers reset when voltage falls below 4.5 V threshold |
| 6 (VCC) | Positive Supply Input | Primary power input (3.6–18 V); powers internal reference and logic |
| 7 (RESET) | Active-Low Reset Output | Push-pull low-level output; sinks 16 mA to assert active-low reset |
| 8 (RESIN) | External Reset Input | Active-low manual reset trigger; forces outputs into reset state when pulled low |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Externally Adjustable Reset Timeout | Enables precise tailoring of reset duration to match specific processor requirements using a single capacitor |
| Dual Complementary Reset Outputs | Provides both active-high and active-low signals for direct interfacing with mixed-logic families (TTL, CMOS, NMOS) |
| Temperature-Compensated Reference | 2.53 V reference stable over 0–70 °C enables reliable external monitoring without additional regulators |
| Wide Supply Range Operation | 3.6–18 V operation eliminates need for pre-regulation in battery-powered or unregulated DC systems |
| Programmable Hysteresis | 15 mV hysteresis prevents false resets during marginal supply recovery or ripple-induced dips |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Controller | Automotive Body Control Module |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Fixed 3.3 V threshold; internal timer; no REF output; SOT-23-6 package | Lacks adjustable timeout and reference output; suited for space-constrained 3.3 V-only designs | Select when board area is critical and 3.3 V reset threshold suffices |
| MAX692CPA+ | 4.65 V threshold; fixed 200 ms timeout; includes watchdog timer; DIP-8 package | Includes watchdog functionality but lacks REF output and adjustable timeout; through-hole only | Select when watchdog supervision is required and through-hole assembly is acceptable |
Compared with TPS3808G33DBVR and MAX692CPA+, TL7705ACP/A uniquely combines adjustable reset timing, dual complementary outputs, and a buffered reference in an SO-8 package-making it optimal for legacy 5 V embedded systems requiring design flexibility and signal integrity.

FAQ
What is the function of the REF pin (pin 1) on TL7705ACP/A?
The REF pin outputs a precision 2.53 V temperature-compensated reference voltage derived from the internal bandgap. It must be decoupled with a 0.1 µF capacitor to ground to suppress supply noise and ensure stable reset threshold accuracy. This reference can also serve external circuits needing a calibrated voltage source.
How do I calculate the reset pulse width for a given CT capacitor value?
Use the formula tpo = 1.3 × 10⁴ × CT, where CT is in farads and tpo is in seconds. For example, a 0.1 µF capacitor yields tpo = 1.3 ms (typical). The actual width varies between 0.65 ms and 2.6 ms depending on process and temperature, as specified in the switching characteristics table.
Can TL7705ACP/A monitor a 3.3 V supply directly?
No - TL7705ACP/A has a fixed 4.5 V sense threshold and is not rated for direct 3.3 V supply monitoring. Attempting to apply 3.3 V to the SENSE pin will not trigger reset. For 3.3 V systems, use TL7703ACP/A (3.3 V threshold) or add a resistive divider to scale the supply to 4.5 V at SENSE.
What is the purpose of the RESIN pin (pin 8)?
The RESIN pin is an active-low manual reset input. Pulling it low forces both RESET outputs into their active states regardless of supply voltage, enabling external hardware reset initiation (e.g., front-panel button or system watchdog signal). It features ±100 µA input current and 0.6 V logic-low threshold.
