Product details
Overview
TLC7701IPW 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), defined RESET output down to VDD ≥ 1 V, 16 µA max supply current, and operates across –40°C to 85°C in TSSOP-8 packaging.
For engineers reviewing the TLC7701IPW datasheet, TLC7701IPW pinout, TLC7701IPW application, or TLC7701IPW equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world use cases in medical imaging and battery-backed memory retention, and validated alternative options with documented functional differences.
Technical Context
The TLC7701IPW implements a precision voltage monitor with temperature-compensated reference and internal power-on reset generator. Its SENSE input detects undervoltage conditions relative to a fixed 1.1 V threshold (VIT– = 1.04–1.16 V), while RESIN and CONTROL inputs enable active-low reset assertion and power-down control for static RAM with battery backup.
Reset assertion occurs when VDD reaches ≥1 V at power-up or when SENSE falls below threshold; recovery requires both SENSE > threshold and expiration of externally set delay time td. The device supports totem-pole outputs with VOH ≥ 3.7 V (at VDD = 4.5 V, IOH = –2 mA) and VOL ≤ 0.5 V (IOL = 2 mA).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2 V to 6 V - supports wide-input industrial and portable systems without external regulation |
| Sense Threshold Voltage | 1.1 V (1.04–1.16 V) - fixed precision threshold enabling reliable low-voltage monitoring for 3.3 V/5 V rails |
| Max Supply Current | 16 µA - ultra-low quiescent current suitable for battery-critical applications |
| Delay Time Control | Programmable via external capacitor (td = 2.1 × 10⁴ × CT) - enables system-specific reset hold timing without firmware dependency |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to 85°C - qualified for commercial and industrial ambient environments |
| Output Type | Active-high RESET and active-low RESET - dual complementary outputs simplify interface to diverse logic families |
| Reset Assertion Level | Defined RESET output from VDD ≥ 1 V - ensures early and deterministic reset initiation during brownout |
Pinout & Package
Package: TSSOP-8 (PW), 3.0 mm × 4.4 mm body, 0.65 mm pitch, RoHS-compliant NIPDAU lead finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (GND) | Ground reference | Common return path for all internal circuitry and output drivers |
| 2 (SENSE) | Voltage monitor input | Compares applied voltage against 1.1 V internal threshold; triggers reset on undervoltage |
| 3 (RESIN) | Reset input control | Active-low manual reset override; forces RESET high when pulled low |
| 4 (CONTROL) | Power-down mode selector | Drives RAM chip select during power loss when tied to GND; enables battery-backed data retention |
| 5 (VDD) | Supply voltage input | Primary power rail (2–6 V); powers internal reference, comparator, and outputs |
| 6 (RESET) | Active-high reset output | Open-drain/totem-pole output asserted high during reset condition |
| 7 (RESET) | Active-low reset output | Complementary output asserted low during reset condition |
| 8 (NC) | No connect | Unbonded pin; must remain unconnected per TI design |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Power-on reset generator | Asserts RESET at VDD ≥ 1 V - guarantees deterministic initialization before core logic becomes operational |
| Programmable delay time | Set by external CT (e.g., 100 nF → td ≈ 2.1 ms) - eliminates need for external timers or firmware delays |
| Temperature-compensated reference | Stable 1.1 V threshold over –40°C to 85°C - avoids calibration drift in varying thermal environments |
| Power-down control support | CONTROL input enables automatic RAM disable during power failure - preserves data integrity in battery-backed SRAM systems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLC7701IPWR | Same silicon, TSSOP-8 package, supplied in 2000-piece tape-and-reel (vs. 150-piece tube for TLC7701IPW) | Identical electrical behavior and pinout; optimized for automated SMT assembly | Select TLC7701IPWR for high-volume production; TLC7701IPW suits prototyping and low-quantity builds |
| TPS3808G12DBVR | Fixed 1.2 V threshold, 360 nA quiescent current, 200 ms factory-programmed delay, SOT-23-6 | Lacks CONTROL pin and dual RESET outputs; no manual reset (RESIN) or programmable delay | Choose TPS3808G12DBVR only if ultra-low IQ and fixed delay suffice; not drop-in for TLC7701IPW's RAM-control or capacitor-timed flexibility |
Compared with TLC7701IPW, TLC7701IPWR offers identical functionality in volume-friendly packaging, while TPS3808G12DBVR trades programmability and dual outputs for extreme low-power operation and smaller footprint - making it suitable only for simpler, non-RAM-retention use cases.

FAQ
What is the exact sense threshold voltage of the TLC7701IPW?
The TLC7701IPW has a nominal sense threshold voltage of 1.1 V, with a guaranteed range of 1.04 V to 1.16 V across temperature and supply voltage. This fixed threshold is internally trimmed and temperature-compensated, eliminating the need for external resistor dividers unlike adjustable supervisors.
How does the CONTROL pin function in the TLC7701IPW?
In the TLC7701IPW, the CONTROL pin enables power-down control for static RAM with battery backup. When tied to GND, it configures RESET to act as active-high and activates logic that disables the memory chip select during power loss - a hardware-based feature that preserves data without CPU intervention.
Can the TLC7701IPW operate with a supply voltage below 2 V?
No - the TLC7701IPW is specified for recommended operation between 2 V and 6 V. Although RESET asserts at VDD ≥ 1 V, the device does not guarantee correct internal comparator or output behavior below 2 V, and electrical characteristics like VOH/VOL and threshold accuracy are not characterized in that region.
What is the maximum load the TLC7701IPW RESET outputs can drive?
The TLC7701IPW RESET outputs support up to 10 mA sink current (IOL) and ±10 mA source/sink (IOH/IOL) under absolute maximum ratings. For reliable operation, TI specifies 2 mA load at VOH ≥ 3.7 V (VDD = 4.5 V) and VOL ≤ 0.5 V - sufficient for driving standard CMOS inputs or small LED indicators.
Is the TLC7701IPW pin-compatible with other TLC77xx variants like TLC7703IPW?
No - while TLC7701IPW, TLC7703IPW, and other PW-package TLC77xx devices share identical TSSOP-8 pinouts and pin functions, their sense thresholds differ (1.1 V vs. 2.63 V). Swapping them without adjusting the monitored rail will cause incorrect reset behavior; they are functionally compatible only when threshold requirements match the application.
