Product details
Overview
TL7705BCD from Texas Instruments is a precision supply-voltage supervisor IC designed as a reset controller for 5-V microprocessor systems. It monitors the SENSE input for undervoltage conditions, provides true and complement active-high/active-low RESET outputs, features an externally adjustable reset pulse duration via CT pin, and delivers a stable 2.53 V reference voltage at REF. It operates across 3.6 V to 18 V supply range and supports 0°C to 70°C ambient operation.
For engineers reviewing the TL7705BCD datasheet, TL7705BCD pinout, TL7705BCD application, or TL7705BCD equivalent, key selection considerations include its 4.55 V negative-going threshold voltage (VIT–), ±30 mA output drive capability, open-collector/open-drain output architecture requiring external pullup/pulldown resistors, and SOIC-8 package compatibility with standard PCB layout practices for embedded reset control.
Technical Context
The TL7705BCD implements a precision bandgap-based voltage reference and comparator architecture to detect supply drops below 4.55 V (typical) at the SENSE input. Its internal timing capacitor charging circuit (CT pin) generates a user-defined reset pulse duration governed by td ≈ 2.6 × 10⁴ × CT, enabling configurable hold time after fault recovery.
It supports dual reset signaling: RESET (active-high, open-collector) and RESET (active-low, open-collector), both defined down to VCC ≥ 1 V. The RESIN pin allows external override of reset state, forcing RESET high and RESET low when pulled low - a feature critical for manual system reset or watchdog coordination.

Pinout & Package
TL7705BCD is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (D) package with 1.27 mm pitch, 4.90 mm × 3.91 mm body size, and exposed pad not present. Pin functions are validated per TI SLVS037O Rev O (Dec 2020).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (REF) | Reference voltage output | Provides stable 2.53 V reference; requires 0.1 µF decoupling to GND to suppress noise-induced false triggering |
| 2 (RESIN) | Reset input | Active-low override: pulls RESET high and RESET low when asserted; enables manual or watchdog-initiated reset |
| 3 (CT) | Timing capacitor input | Controls reset pulse duration via external capacitor; charges with internal current source (td ≈ 2.6×10⁴×CT) |
| 4 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary return path for all internal circuits and output drivers; must be low-impedance connection |
| 5 (RESET) | Active-low reset output | Open-collector output; requires external pullup resistor (e.g., 10 kΩ) to interface with microcontroller reset input |
| 6 (RESET) | Active-high reset output | Open-collector output; requires external pulldown resistor (e.g., 10 kΩ) to ensure clean low-state assertion |
| 7 (SENSE) | Supply voltage monitor input | Monitors regulated 5-V rail; triggers reset when voltage falls below 4.55 V (typical); high-impedance input (≤ –2 µA leakage) |
| 8 (VCC) | Power supply input | Accepts 3.6–18 V; powers internal circuitry and defines operating range; ICC = 3 mA max at full range |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar supply-voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Fixed 3.3-V threshold; no REF output; push-pull outputs; 1.8–6.0 V supply range | Designed for 3.3-V systems only; lacks reference voltage source and adjustable timing | Select when supervising 3.3-V rails and no external reference is needed; not suitable for 5-V TL7705BCD replacement |
| MAX809SEUR+T | Fixed 3.08-V threshold; single active-low reset; no REF or CT pin; 1.0–6.0 V supply | Basic reset-only function; no complement output, no timing adjustment, no reference | Choose for cost-sensitive 3.3-V applications requiring minimal functionality; cannot replace TL7705BCD's dual-output or 5-V supervision |
Compared with TPS3808G33DBVR and MAX809SEUR+T, TL7705BCD uniquely combines 4.55-V threshold accuracy, true/complement outputs, adjustable reset timing, and integrated 2.53-V reference - making it irreplaceable in 5-V microprocessor systems requiring coordinated reset and analog reference sharing.

FAQ
What is the exact undervoltage detection threshold voltage for TL7705BCD?
The TL7705BCD has a nominal negative-going input threshold voltage (VIT–) of 4.55 V at 25°C, with a guaranteed range of 4.45 V to 4.65 V across its full 0°C to 70°C operating temperature range. This threshold is factory-trimmed and temperature-compensated, enabling precise supervision of standard 5-V power rails without external resistor dividers. The value is specified in Section 6.5 of the TL7705BCD datasheet (SLVS037O).
Does TL7705BCD require external pullup/pulldown resistors on its RESET outputs?
Yes, TL7705BCD requires external resistors: a pullup resistor (typically 10 kΩ) on the active-high RESET pin and a pulldown resistor (also typically 10 kΩ) on the active-low RESET pin. Both outputs are open-collector, meaning they can only sink current. Without proper termination, undefined logic states may occur during switching, potentially delaying system reset or causing metastability. TI explicitly recommends matching resistor values even when only one output is used.
Can TL7705BCD be used to supervise a 3.3-V supply rail?
No, TL7705BCD is not suitable for direct 3.3-V rail supervision because its fixed 4.55-V threshold exceeds typical 3.3-V system tolerances. Applying 3.3 V to the SENSE pin will never trigger reset assertion. For 3.3-V applications, TI recommends alternatives like TL7703B (3.3-V variant) or TPS3808G33. Using TL7705BCD with a resistive divider to scale 3.3 V up to 4.55 V introduces accuracy loss, temperature drift, and reliability risk - contrary to the device's precision design intent.
What is the purpose of the CT pin on TL7705BCD, and how is it configured?
The CT pin on TL7705BCD sets the reset pulse duration via an external capacitor. An internal current source charges the capacitor until it reaches an internal reference (~1.8 V), generating a time delay td ≈ 2.6 × 10⁴ × CT (with CT in farads). For a standard 2.6 ms pulse, a 0.1 µF capacitor is used. TI also recommends adding a series resistor (≥560 Ω) between CT and VCC to prevent false triggering during rapid VCC slew-down events, as documented in Section 10 of the datasheet.
Is TL7705BCD pin-compatible with other members of the TL77xxB family, such as TL7702BCD or TL7733BCD?
Yes, TL7705BCD is pin-compatible with TL7702BCD and TL7733BCD within the same SOIC-8 (D) package. All share identical pinout, electrical characteristics (except threshold voltage), and functional block diagram. The only difference is the factory-trimmed VIT–: 2.53 V for TL7702B, 4.55 V for TL7705B, and 3.08 V for TL7733B. This allows direct substitution in designs where threshold voltage matches the target supply rail, provided operating temperature range and marking suffixes (C/I/Q) align.
