Product details
Overview
TLC7701IDRG4 from Texas Instruments is a micropower supply voltage supervisor IC designed for reset control in microcomputer and microprocessor systems. It features a programmable 1.1 V sense threshold, 2 V to 6 V supply range, 16 µA max supply current, and external capacitor–programmable delay time (td = 2.1 × 10⁴ × CT). It supports power-down control for static RAM with battery backup in medical imaging and industrial embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the TLC7701IDRG4 datasheet, TLC7701IDRG4 pinout, TLC7701IDRG4 application, or TLC7701IDRG4 equivalent, this device requires attention to its dual active-high/active-low RESET outputs, CONTROL pin logic for memory retention, and DRB package thermal characteristics in high-reliability environments.
Technical Context
The TLC7701IDRG4 implements a precision voltage sensor with temperature-compensated reference and hysteresis (70 mV) to prevent chatter during threshold crossing. Its internal timer initiates after SENSE voltage drops below 1.1 V and holds RESET active until both threshold recovery and programmable delay td expire.
Unlike fixed-threshold variants in the TLC77xx family, the TLC7701 allows customization of its sense threshold using two external resistors on the SENSE pin - a capability confirmed only for TLC7701, not shared across the family. The CONTROL pin enables active-high RESET output when grounded, supporting chip-select disable during power failure.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLC7701QD | Same 1.1 V threshold and DRB-compatible SOIC-8 package; rated for –40°C to 125°C (same temp range) | SOIC-8 footprint requires PCB redesign; lacks DRB's thermal performance and space savings | Select TLC7701QD only if legacy SOIC assembly infrastructure is in place and thermal density is not constrained. |
| TPS3801K33DBVR | Fixed 3.3 V threshold, 1.6 µA quiescent current, SOT-23-5 package; no CONTROL pin or dual RESET outputs | Not suitable for SRAM power-down control or custom threshold needs; limited to single-rail monitoring | Choose TPS3801K33DBVR only for cost-sensitive, single-threshold, ultra-low-IQ applications where dual outputs and programmability are unnecessary. |
Compared with TLC7701QD and TPS3801K33DBVR, the TLC7701IDRG4 uniquely combines programmable threshold, dual-polarity RESET, and DRB package thermal efficiency - making it irreplaceable in space-constrained, multi-rail, battery-backed systems requiring precise reset timing and memory retention logic.

FAQ
What is the exact sense threshold voltage of the TLC7701IDRG4, and is it factory-trimmed?
The TLC7701IDRG4 has a nominal sense threshold voltage of 1.1 V, with a tolerance of ±60 mV (1.04 V to 1.16 V) over temperature and supply. Unlike fixed-threshold variants, the TLC7701IDRG4 allows external resistor programming of the SENSE node - meaning the effective threshold is set by the external divider, not solely by internal trimming. This design enables precise adjustment beyond factory limits.
How does the CONTROL pin affect RESET output behavior in the TLC7701IDRG4?
In the TLC7701IDRG4, the CONTROL pin determines RESET polarity: when CONTROL is tied to GND, RESET becomes active-high and RESET is inactive; when CONTROL is pulled high (≥0.7×VDD), RESET becomes active-low and RESET is inactive. This dual-mode capability allows direct interface with both legacy and modern microcontrollers without level-shifting circuitry.
Can the TLC7701IDRG4 be used to monitor multiple voltage rails simultaneously?
No - the TLC7701IDRG4 monitors only one rail via its SENSE pin. To supervise multiple rails (e.g., 3.3 V and 1.2 V), separate TLC7701IDRG4 units or a multi-channel supervisor like the TPS3808G12 must be used. Its internal architecture is dedicated to single-input threshold detection with hysteresis and delay timing.
What is the maximum recommended value for the external timing capacitor CT in the TLC7701IDRG4?
The TLC7701IDRG4 datasheet specifies CT values up to 10 µF for delay times exceeding 200 seconds, but practical design limits CT to ≤1 µF due to leakage current effects and capacitor dielectric absorption. For stable operation across –40°C to 125°C, X7R ceramic capacitors of 100 nF to 1 µF are recommended - avoiding electrolytics or high-leakage types that degrade td accuracy.
Is the TLC7701IDRG4 RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes - the TLC7701IDRG4 is RoHS-compliant and features NiPdAu (NIPDAU) lead finish. Per TI's packaging addendum, it carries "Yes" in the RoHS column and "Level-1-260C-UNLIM" moisture sensitivity level, confirming full compliance with EU Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC J-STD-020 standards for lead-free reflow assembly.
