Product details
Overview
TLC7701IDR from Texas Instruments is a micropower supply voltage supervisor IC designed for reset control in microcomputer and microprocessor systems. It features a 1.1 V precision sense threshold, programmable delay via external capacitor (td = 2.1 × 10⁴ × CT), 2–6 V supply range, ≤16 µA supply current, and operates from –40°C to 85°C in an SOIC-8 package. It supports power-down control for static RAM with battery backup.
For engineers reviewing the TLC7701IDR datasheet, TLC7701IDR pinout, TLC7701IDR application, or TLC7701IDR equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, functional context, real-world use cases, and validated alternative options for reliable system-level reset supervision in industrial and medical embedded designs.
Technical Context
The TLC7701IDR implements a precision voltage monitor with temperature-compensated reference and internal timer-based delay logic. During power-on, RESET asserts when VDD ≥ 1 V; thereafter, it monitors SENSE voltage against a fixed 1.1 V threshold (±3% over temperature) and holds RESET active until SENSE exceeds threshold and the externally programmed delay td expires.
It supports dual-output reset signaling (RESET and RESET) with totem-pole outputs, defined behavior down to VDD = 1 V, and integrated logic for static RAM power-fail control via CONTROL input. The device uses no internal voltage divider for threshold setting-unlike other TLC77xx variants-enabling customization with two external resistors per datasheet Figure 10.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Sense Threshold Voltage | 1.1 V ±3% (TLC7701-specific fixed threshold; enables precise undervoltage detection at low supply rails) |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2 V to 6 V (supports wide-input industrial and battery-powered systems; RESET defined down to VDD = 1 V) |
| Supply Current | ≤16 µA (typ. 9 µA at 5 V; enables multi-year operation in energy-constrained applications) |
| Delay Time Control | Programmable via external capacitor: td = 2.1 × 10⁴ × CT (e.g., 100 nF yields ~2.1 ms delay; ensures robust system initialization) |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C (commercial-grade qualification; suitable for industrial control and medical peripherals) |
| Output Drive | Totem-pole RESET/RESET (IOH = –2 mA, IOL = 2 mA; drives standard CMOS loads without pull-ups) |
| Hysteresis | 30 mV (prevents chatter during slow-rising/falling supply transitions near threshold) |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOIC-8 (D package), 3.90 mm × 4.90 mm body, 1.27 mm pitch, plastic, RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | Power supply input | Primary supply rail connection; powers internal reference, comparator, and output drivers |
| GND | Ground reference | Return path for all internal circuitry and output currents; must be low-impedance |
| SENSE | Voltage monitoring input | Connects to monitored rail (e.g., microcontroller VCC); triggers reset when voltage drops below 1.1 V |
| CONTROL | Mode selection input | When tied to GND, configures RESET as active-high; enables RAM power-down control logic |
| RESIN | Manual reset input | Active-low asynchronous reset override; forces RESET assertion regardless of SENSE state |
| RESET | Active-low reset output | Drives microcontroller /RESET pin low during fault or power-up; open-drain compatible with pull-up |
| RESET | Active-high reset output | Complementary to RESET; directly interfaces with logic requiring high-active reset signals |
| CT | Capacitor timing terminal | Connects external timing capacitor to set delay time td; no internal pull; requires stable ceramic cap |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Power-on reset generation | Asserts RESET at VDD ≥ 1 V-ensures microcontroller remains held in reset until minimum operating voltage is reached |

Use Value: Integrated power-down logic eliminates need for external MOSFET gate driver; 2–6 V supply range accommodates Li-ion and alkaline sources. |
Use Scenario: Handheld blood glucose meters must guarantee safe shutdown and memory retention during rapid battery depletion. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TLC7701IDR monitors 3.0 V LDO output and triggers controlled MCU reset before voltage falls below 2.7 V operational limit. Use Value: Fixed 1.1 V threshold provides margin for LDO dropout; RESET/RESET dual outputs simplify interface to both MCU and display controller logic families. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLC7701QDR | Same functionality and pinout; qualified for –40°C to +125°C extended temperature range | Required for under-hood automotive or high-ambient industrial deployments where 85°C upper limit is insufficient | Select TLC7701QDR when operating ambient exceeds 85°C; otherwise TLC7701IDR meets commercial-grade requirements at lower cost |
| TPS3808G12DBVR | Fixed 1.22 V threshold, 200 ms factory-programmed delay, 1.5 µA typical IQ, SOT-23-6 package | Lacks manual reset (RESIN) and CONTROL inputs; no RAM power-down support; smaller footprint but less flexible timing | Choose TPS3808G12DBVR for space-constrained, ultra-low-power apps where fixed delay suffices and RAM control is unnecessary |
Compared with TLC7701QDR and TPS3808G12DBVR, the TLC7701IDR uniquely balances programmable delay, dual reset outputs, RAM power-down logic, and commercial-temperature reliability in a standard SOIC-8-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, feature-complete embedded reset supervision.

FAQ
What is the exact sense threshold voltage of the TLC7701IDR and how stable is it over temperature?
The TLC7701IDR has a nominal sense threshold voltage of 1.1 V, with a maximum deviation of ±3% across its full operating temperature range of –40°C to +85°C. This stability is achieved through an internal temperature-compensated voltage reference, eliminating the need for external calibration in most embedded applications. The datasheet specifies VIT– = 1.04 V (min) to 1.16 V (max) at VDD = 2–6 V.
Can the TLC7701IDR be used to control battery-backed static RAM during power failure?
Yes-the TLC7701IDR includes dedicated CONTROL and RESIN inputs to enable automatic static RAM power-down. When CONTROL is grounded, the RESET output can drive the memory's chip select (CS) line, disabling access during brownout. This function is explicitly documented in the datasheet's Figure 10 and Application Information section, confirming direct support for SRAM data retention in the TLC7701IDR.
How is the reset delay time set on the TLC7701IDR, and what capacitor value yields a 2.5 ms delay?
The reset delay time td is set by an external capacitor connected to the CT pin, using the formula td = 2.1 × 10⁴ × CT. For a 2.5 ms delay, solve CT = td / 2.1 × 10⁴ = 0.0025 / 21000 ≈ 119 nF. A standard 120 nF ceramic capacitor achieves this, matching the typical 2.1 ms value shown in the Switching Characteristics table with CT = 100 nF.
Is the TLC7701IDR pin-compatible with other members of the TLC77xx family, such as the TLC7705IDR?
No-the TLC7701IDR shares the same SOIC-8 package and pinout with other TLC77xx devices (e.g., TLC7705IDR), but its internal threshold is fixed at 1.1 V and it supports external resistor customization for alternate thresholds, unlike the fixed-threshold-only variants. Pin compatibility exists physically and electrically, but functional substitution requires verification of threshold match and CONTROL/RESIN usage in the target design.
What is the maximum supply current of the TLC7701IDR, and under what conditions is it measured?
The maximum supply current of the TLC7701IDR is 16 µA, measured under recommended operating conditions: VDD = 5 V, RESIN = VDD, SENSE = VDD ≥ VITmax + 0.2 V, CONTROL = 0 V, and outputs open. This value appears in the Electrical Characteristics table under "IDD Supply current" and reflects worst-case quiescent consumption during active supervision-critical for battery-life estimation in always-on systems.
