Product details
Overview
TL7709ACD from Texas Instruments is a precision supply-voltage supervisor IC designed as a reset controller for microprocessor systems, featuring a 7.6 V ±0.1 V threshold voltage (VIT−), 20 mV hysteresis, externally adjustable reset pulse duration via CT pin, and dual active-high/active-low open-collector RESET outputs. It operates across 3.5 V to 18 V supply range and supports 0°C to 70°C industrial temperature operation in SOIC-8 package.
For engineers reviewing the TL7709ACD datasheet, TL7709ACD pinout, TL7709ACD application, or TL7709ACD equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, validated pin functions, confirmed timing behavior, real-world reset circuit implementation guidance, and cross-referenced alternatives for embedded power-monitoring designs requiring reliable undervoltage detection and controlled system initialization.
Technical Context
The TL7709ACD implements a precision bandgap-based voltage reference with <±10 mV supply variation and <±16 mV temperature drift (–40°C to +85°C), feeding a comparator that monitors SENSE input against a trimmed 7.6 V trip point. Its internal delay timer uses an external capacitor (CT) to generate a programmable reset pulse (0.65–2.6 ms typical with 0.1 µF).
It features dual complementary reset outputs (RESET and RESET) with open-collector topology, enabling flexible interface to TTL/CMOS logic, and includes RESIN for manual reset override and REF for external reference use. The device guarantees functional operation only above VCC = 3.6 V and enters undefined state below 2 V.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
TL7709ACD is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (D) package measuring 4.90 mm × 3.91 mm, with standard JEDEC MS-012AC footprint and RoHS-compliant NiPdAu lead finish. Thermal resistance RθJA is 97°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| REF (Pin 1) | Voltage reference output | Provides stable 2.5 V reference for external circuitry; requires 0.1 µF bypass to GND |
| RESIN (Pin 2) | Manual reset input | Active-low asynchronous reset trigger; overrides automatic supervision when pulled low |
| CT (Pin 3) | Timing capacitor connection | Sets reset pulse width per td = 1.3×10⁴×CT; 0.1 µF yields ~1.3 ms delay |
| GND (Pin 4) | Ground reference | Common return path for all internal circuitry and external decoupling capacitors |
| RESET (Pin 5) | Inverted reset output | Active-low open-collector signal; requires external pull-up for logic-high assertion |
| RESET (Pin 6) | Non-inverted reset output | Active-high open-collector signal; requires external pull-up for logic-high assertion |
| SENSE (Pin 7) | Supply monitoring input | Monitors regulated rail (e.g., 9 V) for undervoltage; threshold set internally to 7.6 V |
| VCC (Pin 8) | Power supply input | Primary power source (3.5–18 V); powers internal circuitry and enables supervision function |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Externally adjustable reset pulse | Capacitor-programmable delay (0.65–2.6 ms typical) eliminates fixed-timing constraints in BOM |

| Wide operating supply range | 3.5 V to 18 V operation supports legacy 9 V, 12 V, and modern multi-rail embedded systems without auxiliary regulators |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Controller | Legacy 9 V Microcontroller System |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Power sequencing and brownout protection in programmable logic controllers with 9 V DC input rails. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monitors 9 V supply at SENSE pin; asserts RESET on drop below 7.6 V to halt CPU execution and prevent corrupted I/O states. Use Value: Prevents firmware lockup and EEPROM corruption during line sags by guaranteeing >1.3 ms reset hold time via CT capacitor. |
Use Scenario: Reset generation for TMS1XXXNLL-based microcomputer systems powered from unregulated 9 V wall adapters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as dedicated supervisor replacing discrete RC-reset networks; provides accurate, temperature-stable threshold detection. Use Value: Eliminates timing drift and false resets caused by resistor/capacitor tolerance and thermal coefficient mismatches. |
| Multi-Rail Power Management | Embedded Instrumentation Front-End |
Use Scenario: Coordinating reset sequencing across 5 V, 9 V, and 12 V rails in test equipment with mixed-voltage ASICs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervises primary 9 V rail; RESET output triggers secondary supervisors or power-good latches for dependent supplies. Use Value: Enables deterministic power-up order without custom timing networks or FPGA-based sequencing logic. |
Use Scenario: Ensuring clean startup of analog front-end modules (ADC drivers, sensor amplifiers) powered from 9 V supplies. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Holds digital control logic in reset until analog rails stabilize; REF pin supplies bias voltage to precision op-amps. Use Value: Avoids transient glitches and ADC conversion errors during power ramp by synchronizing analog/digital domain readiness. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar supply-voltage supervision applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL7709ACP | Same electrical specs and pinout; packaged in 8-pin PDIP (9.81 mm × 6.35 mm) instead of SOIC-8 | Preferred for through-hole prototyping, legacy board rework, or high-vibration environments where surface-mount reliability is a concern | Select TL7709ACP when manual soldering, socket-based testing, or mechanical robustness outweighs PCB space constraints. |
| TPS3808G33 | 3.3 V fixed threshold, 200 ms min reset timeout, higher accuracy (±0.5%), integrated watchdog timer, and enable input | Designed for modern 3.3 V microcontrollers; lacks adjustable delay and dual reset outputs; requires different timing architecture | Choose TPS3808G33 only for new 3.3 V designs needing tighter threshold tolerance and watchdog functionality - not a drop-in replacement. |
Compared with TL7709ACP and TPS3808G33, the TL7709ACD offers unique value in legacy 9 V systems requiring SOIC-8 footprint, field-adjustable reset timing, and dual complementary outputs - capabilities neither alternative replicates without redesign.

FAQ
What is the exact undervoltage detection threshold of the TL7709ACD?
The TL7709ACD has a guaranteed negative-going input threshold voltage (VIT−) of 7.5 V to 7.7 V at 25°C, with typical value 7.6 V. This threshold applies to the SENSE pin and is factory-trimmed for precision. Hysteresis is 20 mV, ensuring stable switching without oscillation during marginal supply conditions. The TL7709ACD does not monitor VCC directly - it relies on the external voltage applied to SENSE.
How do I configure the reset pulse duration for the TL7709ACD?
Reset pulse duration on the TL7709ACD is set by an external capacitor connected to the CT pin (Pin 3). Using the formula td = 1.3 × 10⁴ × CT, a 0.1 µF capacitor yields ~1.3 ms typical delay. Values between 0.01 µF and 1 µF produce pulses from ~130 µs to ~13 ms. Ensure CT is ceramic or film type with low leakage; place close to the IC with short traces to minimize noise coupling.
Can the TL7709ACD be used with a 5 V supply rail?
No - the TL7709ACD is designed for 9 V nominal systems and has a fixed 7.6 V threshold. Applying it to a 5 V rail would cause immediate, permanent assertion of RESET since SENSE voltage (5 V) remains below the 7.5–7.7 V trip point. For 5 V systems, use TL7705ACD (4.55 V threshold) or TL7702ACD (2.5 V threshold) instead. Threshold is not user-adjustable on TL7709ACD.
What is the purpose of the REF pin on the TL7709ACD?
The REF pin (Pin 1) on the TL7709ACD outputs a precision 2.48–2.58 V temperature-compensated reference voltage. It is intended for use as a stable bias source in external analog circuits - such as ADC references, op-amp feedback networks, or sensor excitation - and must be bypassed with a 0.1 µF capacitor to GND to suppress noise and ensure regulator stability. It is not used for internal supervision.
Does the TL7709ACD support manual reset override?
Yes - the TL7709ACD includes a dedicated RESIN (Pin 2) input for manual reset override. Driving RESIN low forces both RESET and RESET outputs into their active states regardless of SENSE voltage or supply condition. This allows system-level reset initiation via pushbutton, microcontroller GPIO, or watchdog timeout signal. RESIN is active-low and compatible with TTL/CMOS logic levels.
