Product details
Overview
TL7705AIP/A from STMicroelectronics is a precision supply voltage supervisor IC designed for microprocessor reset control, featuring a 4.5 V ±50 mV threshold voltage, true/complement reset outputs (RESET and RESET), 3.6–18 V operating supply range, -25°C to +85°C industrial temperature rating, and externally adjustable reset pulse width via CT pin (0.65–2.6 ms with 0.1 µF). It ensures reliable power-on and brownout reset in embedded controllers.
For engineers reviewing the TL7705AIP/A datasheet, TL7705AIP/A pinout, TL7705AIP/A application, or TL7705AIP/A equivalent, key selection considerations include its fixed 4.5 V sense threshold, dual active-high/active-low reset outputs, CT-based timing flexibility, REF output stability requirement (0.1 µF bypass), and Minidip-8 package compatibility with legacy board layouts.
Technical Context
The TL7705AIP/A implements a precision bandgap-based voltage reference (2.53 V typ) with temperature compensation to derive its 4.5 V SENSE threshold. Its internal comparator monitors supply voltage against this threshold and triggers reset assertion when VS drops below VT or during power-up until VS exceeds VT.
Reset pulse width is fully determined by an external capacitor on CT (pin 3), with tpo = 1.3 × 104 × CT (seconds), enabling design-specific timing without internal RC variation. The REF output (pin 1) supplies a stable 2.53 V reference requiring 0.1 µF local decoupling to reject 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 subsystems without external regulation |
| SENSE Threshold Voltage | 4.5 V ±50 mV - precisely targets 5 V logic rails with hysteresis (15 mV) to prevent chatter during brownout recovery |
| Reference Voltage (REF) | 2.53 V ±0.05 V - stable, temperature-compensated bandgap source for external circuit biasing or calibration |
| Reset Pulse Width (tpo) | 0.65–2.6 ms with 0.1 µF CT - user-adjustable delay ensures sufficient time for CPU initialization before release |
| Operating Temperature | -25°C to +85°C - qualified for extended industrial environments without derating |
| Output Drive Strength | ±16 mA - directly drives TTL/CMOS inputs or small FET gates without buffer stages |
| Supply Current | 1.8–3.3 mA - ultra-low quiescent current enables use in always-on monitoring circuits |
Pinout & Package
TL7705AIP/A is housed in an 8-pin Minidip (PDIP-8) package with 0.3-inch body width, 2.54 mm lead pitch, and through-hole mounting. Pin 1 is REF, Pin 2 is GND, Pin 3 is CT, Pin 4 is RESET, Pin 5 is RESIN, Pin 6 is SENSE, Pin 7 is VCC, Pin 8 is RESET.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (REF) | Reference Output | 2.53 V temperature-stable voltage source requiring 0.1 µF bypass to ground for noise immunity |
| Pin 2 (GND) | Ground Reference | System return path for all internal comparators, reference, and output drivers |
| Pin 3 (CT) | Timing Capacitor Input | Connects external capacitor to set reset pulse width per tpo = 1.3×104×CT |
| Pin 4 (RESET) | Active-High Reset Output | Open-collector compatible output asserted high during reset; sinks current when active |
| Pin 5 (RESIN) | Manual Reset Input | Active-low input; pulling low forces immediate reset assertion regardless of supply voltage |
| Pin 6 (SENSE) | Supply Monitoring Input | Monitors external rail (e.g., 5 V) - asserts reset if voltage falls below 4.5 V threshold |
| Pin 7 (VCC) | Power Supply Input | Primary supply connection; powers internal reference, comparator, and output stages |
| Pin 8 (RESET) | Active-Low Reset Output | Complementary to Pin 4; asserted low during reset; drives standard logic inputs directly |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual Complementary Reset Outputs | Simultaneous active-high (RESET) and active-low (RESET) signals eliminate need for external inverters in mixed-logic systems |
| Externally Adjustable Reset Timeout | CT pin enables precise, board-level tuning of reset duration to match specific MCU boot requirements |
| Temperature-Compensated Reference | 2.53 V REF output maintains ±0.05 V accuracy over -25°C to +85°C, enabling stable external analog functions |
| Wide Supply Range with Low Quiescent Current | Operates from 3.6 V to 18 V while drawing only 1.8–3.3 mA, reducing system power overhead |
| Hysteresis-Stabilized Threshold Detection | 15 mV hysteresis at SENSE input prevents oscillation during slow-rising or noisy supply transitions |

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 (200 ms typ); no REF output; SOT-23-6 package | Suitable for 3.3 V systems only; lacks adjustable timing and reference output | Select when board space is constrained and 3.3 V supervision suffices without external timing or REF needs |
| MAX691CPD+ | 5 V threshold; internal 200 ms timer; no CT adjustment; includes watchdog timer; PDIP-16 package | Broader feature set (watchdog), but larger footprint and fixed timing limits design flexibility | Select when watchdog functionality is required alongside reset, and board area permits 16-pin DIP |
Compared with TPS3808G33DBVR and MAX691CPD+, TL7705AIP/A uniquely offers adjustable reset timing, a stable 2.53 V reference output, and precise 4.5 V threshold in a compact 8-pin Minidip-making it optimal for legacy 5 V microcontroller designs needing field-tunable reset behavior and analog support.

FAQ
What is the function of the REF pin (Pin 1) on TL7705AIP/A?
The REF pin provides a stable, temperature-compensated 2.53 V reference voltage derived from an internal bandgap circuit. It must be bypassed with a 0.1 µF capacitor to ground to suppress supply noise and ensure accurate threshold sensing. This output can also serve external analog circuits requiring a precision voltage source, such as ADC references or sensor biasing networks.
How is the reset pulse width determined, and what capacitor value yields ~1.3 ms?
The reset pulse width (tpo) is calculated as tpo = 1.3 × 104 × CT, where CT is in farads. For a nominal 1.3 ms pulse, solve 0.0013 = 1.3 × 104 × CT, giving CT = 0.1 µF. This matches the typical value specified in the datasheet and is verified across -25°C to +85°C with ±20% tolerance due to capacitor drift and process variation.
Can TL7705AIP/A supervise a 3.3 V supply rail?
No - TL7705AIP/A has a fixed 4.5 V SENSE threshold optimized for 5 V systems. Applying it to a 3.3 V rail would cause continuous reset assertion since the supply never reaches the threshold. For 3.3 V supervision, use TL7703A (3.3 V threshold) or modern alternatives like TPS3808G33, which are explicitly rated for that voltage.
Is the TL7705AIP/A pin-compatible with other TL7700A-series variants?
Yes - all TL7700A-series parts (e.g., TL7702A, TL7705A, TL7709A) share identical Minidip-8 pinouts and functional assignments. Only the internal SENSE threshold differs (2.5 V, 4.5 V, 9 V, etc.), so swapping requires verifying that the new threshold matches the target supply rail and that external resistor networks (if used) remain compatible.
