Product details
Overview
TL7770-5CDWR from Texas Instruments is a dual-channel power-supply supervisor IC designed for microcomputer and microprocessor systems requiring precise undervoltage/overvoltage monitoring and SCR-based overvoltage protection. It features two independent voltage-sense channels (1VSU/2VSU and 1VSO/2VSO), 5-V and programmable undervoltage thresholds (4.46 V and 1.47 V typ), 250-mA peak SCR gate drive, and true/complementary reset outputs with externally adjustable pulse duration via CT capacitor.
For engineers reviewing the TL7770-5CDWR datasheet, TL7770-5CDWR pinout, TL7770-5CDWR application, or TL7770-5CDWR equivalent, this device supports critical power-up sequencing, brownout recovery, and high-current overvoltage fault response in industrial control, telecom power supplies, and embedded instrumentation where dual-rail supervision and SCR-triggered shutdown are required.
Technical Context
The TL7770-5CDWR implements two independent analog comparators per channel - one for undervoltage detection at VSU (with hysteresis of 15 mV for 5-V sense) and one for overvoltage detection at VSO (threshold 2.48–2.68 V). Each channel includes a precision temperature-compensated voltage reference and internal timing circuitry that latches RESET/RESET outputs for a capacitor-defined delay (td ≈ 20×10³ × C) after VCC exceeds 1 V and system voltages stabilize above 3.5 V.
Its SCR DRIVE terminals deliver 250-mA peak current for triggering external high-current SCRs during overvoltage events, while maintaining 2-mA active-low gate drive to prevent false triggering. The device operates across 3.5–18 V supply range and is characterized for 0°C to 70°C ambient temperature, with SOIC-16 (DW) package and RoHS-compliant NIPDAU lead finish.
Key Specifications

Applications
| Industrial PLC Power Management | Telecom Line Card Supervision |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Monitors dual DC rails (5 V and 3.3 V) in programmable logic controller backplanes to detect brownout and initiate controlled shutdown before data corruption. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TL7770-5CDWR acts as dual-rail supervisor with independent VSU inputs; asserts synchronized RESET/RESET pulses upon undervoltage event, holding CPU in reset until both rails recover. Use Value: Prevents erratic behavior during partial power loss by ensuring deterministic reset timing and eliminating race conditions between rail recoveries. | Use Scenario: Supervises ±12 V and +5 V supplies in telecom line cards, triggering SCR-based crowbar on overvoltage to protect sensitive transceivers and FPGAs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TL7770-5CDWR uses VSO inputs to detect overvoltage on either rail; activates 250-mA SCR DRIVE output to fire external SCR, shorting supply to ground within microseconds. Use Value: Achieves sub-10 µs fault response without external comparator or driver, meeting GR-1089-CORE surge immunity requirements. |
| Embedded Instrumentation Reset Control | Motor Drive Controller Power Sequencing |
Use Scenario: Ensures reliable startup of ARM-based measurement instruments by validating 5-V analog supply and 3.3-V digital supply before releasing reset to processor and ADC. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TL7770-5CDWR configures 1VSU for 5-V rail and 2VSU for 3.3-V rail; generates extended reset pulse (via 10 µF CT) to accommodate slow-start LDOs and crystal oscillator stabilization. Use Value: Guarantees full power rail stability prior to firmware execution, eliminating boot failures caused by marginal supply ramp rates. | Use Scenario: Coordinates power-up sequence of gate drivers, isolation amplifiers, and MCU in servo motor drives, preventing shoot-through during initial energization. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TL7770-5CDWR monitors main DC bus (1VSU) and isolated logic supply (2VSU); asserts RESET only after both exceed thresholds and remain stable for capacitor-defined delay. Use Value: Enforces strict sequencing dependency - logic power must stabilize before gate drivers receive enable - reducing risk of MOSFET failure during commissioning. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-supply supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3823-01DBVR | Single-channel, fixed 3.08-V reset threshold; no SCR drive; 200-ms fixed timeout | Lacks dual-rail monitoring and overvoltage crowbar capability; suitable only for basic single-rail reset | Select when only one supply rail requires supervision and SCR protection is unnecessary |
| MAX6822MUT+T | Dual-channel, but no SCR drive; 2.93-V/4.63-V thresholds; 140-ms fixed timeout; SOT-23-6 | Smaller footprint but missing overvoltage response and adjustable timing; limited to low-power applications | Choose for space-constrained designs where overvoltage protection is handled separately |
Compared with TL7770-5CDWR, TPS3823-01DBVR offers simpler integration for single-rail systems but omits dual supervision and SCR triggering, while MAX6822MUT+T provides compact dual monitoring yet lacks the 250-mA fault-current capability essential for robust overvoltage protection in high-power industrial environments.

FAQ
What is the function of the RESIN pins on the TL7770-5CDWR?
The 1RESIN and 2RESIN pins on the TL7770-5CDWR are active-low manual reset inputs. When pulled low, they initiate the time-delayed reset sequence - asserting 1RESET/2RESET for a duration set by the external CT capacitor - even when supply voltages are within specification. This allows external microcontrollers or pushbuttons to force a controlled system reset without power cycling. The TL7770-5CDWR interprets a logic-low level below 0.8 V as valid assertion.
How does the TL7770-5CDWR generate its reset pulse duration?
The TL7770-5CDWR generates reset pulse duration using an external timing capacitor (CT) connected to the 1CT and 2CT pins. The delay time (td) follows td ≈ 20 × 10³ × C, where C is in farads and td is in seconds. For example, a 10 µF capacitor yields ~200 ms. A series resistor (RT) is recommended between CT and the supervisor terminal when VCC and VSU are tied together to prevent timing error due to leakage. The TL7770-5CDWR's internal circuitry charges this capacitor to define the hold time.
Can the TL7770-5CDWR monitor both 5-V and 12-V rails simultaneously?
Yes - the TL7770-5CDWR supports dual-rail monitoring: 1VSU is factory-configured for 5-V undervoltage detection (4.46–4.64 V threshold), while 2VSU is programmable for lower thresholds (1.47–1.53 V typical), allowing flexible adaptation to auxiliary rails. However, it does not natively support 12-V sensing; for 12-V monitoring, the TL7770-12CDWR variant is specified with 10.68–11.12 V threshold at 1VSU. The TL7770-5CDWR itself is optimized for 5-V primary rail supervision paired with a secondary low-voltage rail.
What is the purpose of the SCR DRIVE output on the TL7770-5CDWR?
The SCR DRIVE output on the TL7770-5CDWR delivers up to 250-mA peak current to trigger an external silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) during overvoltage events detected at VSO inputs. This enables fast-acting crowbar protection - shorting the supply rail to ground - to safeguard downstream circuitry. Unlike standard reset outputs, SCR DRIVE remains active only during fault conditions and includes 2-mA active-low drive to suppress false triggering. The TL7770-5CDWR integrates this function to eliminate discrete SCR driver stages.
Is the TL7770-5CDWR pin-compatible with other members of the TL7770 family?
Yes - the TL7770-5CDWR shares identical SOIC-16 (DW) pinout and electrical interface with all TL7770 variants including TL7770-12CDWR, TL7770-5CN, and TL7770-5IDWR. All variants use the same pin assignments for RESIN, RESET, VSU, VSO, SCR DRIVE, CT, VCC, and GND. Differences lie solely in internal resistor networks (defining voltage thresholds) and temperature grade (C vs I), making them drop-in replacements for layout reuse - provided the application's voltage-sensing requirements align with the selected variant's thresholds.
