Product details
Overview
TLC7701QD from Texas Instruments is a micropower supply voltage supervisor IC with 1.1 V precision sense threshold, programmable reset delay via external capacitor, and operation over –40°C to 125°C. It provides power-on reset generation, undervoltage supervision, and power-down control for static RAM with battery backup in microprocessor systems.
For engineers reviewing the TLC7701QD datasheet, TLC7701QD pinout, TLC7701QD application, or TLC7701QD equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications including 16 µA max supply current, 1 V power-up reset activation, totem-pole RESET/RESET outputs, and SOIC-8 package compatibility for industrial and automotive embedded designs.
Technical Context
The TLC7701QD implements a precision voltage sensor with temperature-compensated reference and hysteresis (70 mV) to prevent chatter during threshold crossing. Its internal timer generates a user-defined delay (td = 2.1 × 10⁴ × CT) after SENSE voltage recovers above threshold before deasserting RESET.
It supports dual-output active-high and active-low reset signaling, with CONTROL pin enabling RAM power-down mode when grounded. The device asserts RESET when VDD ≥ 1 V and maintains reset while SENSE remains below 1.1 V, ensuring reliable system initialization under brownout conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Sense Threshold | 1.1 V ±0.06 V - precisely monitors 1.1 V rail for undervoltage detection in low-voltage microcontroller systems |
| Supply Current | 9–16 µA - enables multi-year battery operation in always-on monitoring applications |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to 125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial control environments |
| Reset Delay | Programmable via external CT (e.g., 100 nF → ~2.1 ms) - ensures sufficient hold time for processor boot sequence |
| Output Type | Totem-pole RESET and open-drain RESET - supports direct interface to MCU reset inputs and memory CS lines |
| VDD Range | 2 V to 6 V - compatible with 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains without level-shifting |
| Hysteresis | 70 mV - prevents oscillation during slow-rising or noisy supply transitions |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOIC-8 (D package), 3.9 mm × 4.9 mm body, 1.27 mm pitch, RoHS-compliant NIPDAU lead finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VDD) | Positive supply input | Accepts 2–6 V; RESET activates at ≥1 V; powers internal reference and comparator |
| 2 (SENSE) | Voltage monitor input | Compares against 1.1 V threshold; requires bypass capacitor for stability |
| 3 (CONTROL) | RAM power-down mode select | Grounding enables active-high RESET for chip-select control of battery-backed SRAM |
| 4 (GND) | Ground reference | Return path for all internal circuits and output drivers |
| 5 (RESET) | Active-low reset output | Open-drain output; requires external pull-up; asserts low during fault or power-up |
| 6 (RESET) | Active-high reset output | Totem-pole output; drives high during normal operation; low during reset |
| 7 (RESIN) | Manual reset input | Pull low to force reset; accepts 0–VDD logic levels; debounced internally |
| 8 (NC) | No connect | Not bonded; must be left unconnected per TI design |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Power-on reset generator | Guarantees RESET assertion at VDD ≥ 1 V, independent of SENSE voltage, ensuring boot integrity |
| Programmable delay time | Enables precise reset hold duration tuning (ms range) using standard ceramic capacitors, eliminating fixed-timer limitations |
| Temperature-compensated reference | Maintains ±1% threshold accuracy across –40°C to 125°C, critical for thermal-stable system resets |
| Defined RESET from VDD ≥ 1 V | Allows reset assertion even during deep brownout, supporting fail-safe shutdown in low-VDD scenarios |
| Power-down control support | Directly disables SRAM chip select during power loss when CONTROL = GND, preserving data with battery backup |

FAQ
What is the exact sense threshold voltage of the TLC7701QD?
The TLC7701QD has a nominal sense threshold voltage of 1.1 V, with guaranteed minimum and maximum values of 1.04 V and 1.16 V respectively across its full operating temperature range of –40°C to 125°C. This precision threshold is achieved using an internal temperature-compensated voltage reference and applies directly to the SENSE pin input.
How does the TLC7701QD generate its reset delay time?
The TLC7701QD generates reset delay time (td) using an external capacitor (CT) connected to the SENSE pin. The relationship is td = 2.1 × 10⁴ × CT, where CT is in farads and td is in seconds. For example, a 100 nF capacitor yields approximately 2.1 ms delay. This method allows field-adjustable timing without trimming resistors or firmware changes.
Can the TLC7701QD be used to retain data in battery-backed SRAM during power loss?
Yes, the TLC7701QD supports SRAM data retention during power loss via its CONTROL pin. When CONTROL is tied to GND, the RESET output becomes active-high and can drive the chip select (CS) line of static RAM. This automatically disables memory access during brownout, while the device itself remains powered by the backup battery to maintain supervision function.
What is the maximum supply current of the TLC7701QD at 5 V and 125°C?
The maximum supply current of the TLC7701QD is 16 µA, specified over the full recommended operating conditions including VDD = 2 V to 6 V and temperature range –40°C to 125°C. This value is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table of the SLVS087M datasheet and applies regardless of output loading or delay capacitor presence.
Does the TLC7701QD have both active-high and active-low reset outputs?
Yes, the TLC7701QD provides two complementary reset outputs: RESET (active-high, totem-pole) and RESET (active-low, open-drain). This dual-output architecture allows direct connection to MCUs requiring either polarity reset signal and enables simultaneous control of multiple subsystems-such as asserting RESET to halt CPU execution while pulling RESET low to disable peripherals.
