Product details
Overview
TLC7701QP 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, and operates across –40°C to 125°C. Used in medical imaging and industrial embedded systems requiring reliable power-on and undervoltage reset.
For engineers reviewing the TLC7701QP datasheet, TLC7701QP pinout, TLC7701QP application, or TLC7701QP equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, DRB-package pin mapping, temperature-rated performance data, and real-world use cases for battery-backed static RAM power-down control and microcontroller reset sequencing.
Technical Context
The TLC7701QP implements a precision voltage-sensing comparator with temperature-compensated reference, automatic reset assertion during power-up (Vres = 1 V) and undervoltage events (VIT– = 1.1 V ±60 mV), and an internal timer that enforces a user-defined delay before deasserting RESET. Its dual-output architecture (RESET and RESET) supports active-high and active-low logic families simultaneously.
Unlike fixed-threshold variants in the TLC77xx family, the TLC7701QP allows threshold customization using two external resistors on the SENSE input, enabling flexible monitoring of non-standard supply rails. It supports power-down control for static RAM by driving chip select (CS) during brownout, with CONTROL pin logic determining RESET polarity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2 V to 6 V - Supports wide-input industrial and battery-powered systems without external regulation. |
| Sense Threshold Voltage | 1.1 V (min 1.04 V, max 1.16 V) - Precision monitoring of low-voltage rails such as 1.2 V or 1.8 V domains. |
| Power-Up Reset Voltage | 1 V - Ensures early, deterministic reset assertion before core logic becomes operational. |
| Max Supply Current | 16 µA - Enables multi-year operation in battery-backed applications like medical data loggers. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to 125°C - Qualified for under-hood automotive and high-reliability industrial environments. |
| Delay Time Formula | td = 2.1 × 10⁴ × CT - Enables precise, capacitor-tuned reset hold times from milliseconds to seconds. |
| Output Drive Strength | ±2 mA - Sufficient to directly drive microcontroller reset inputs and small logic loads without buffering. |
Pinout & Package
Package: PDIP-8 (Plastic Dual In-line Package, 0.300-inch width), RoHS-compliant, NIPDAU lead finish, rated for –40°C to 125°C operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | Positive supply input | Accepts 2–6 V; powers internal reference, comparator, and outputs; RESET defined down to 1 V. |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all internal circuitry and output loads. |
| SENSE | Voltage monitor input | Compares applied voltage against internal 1.1 V reference; configurable via external resistor divider. |
| CONTROL | Polarity selection input | When tied to GND, RESET is active-high; when tied to VDD, RESET is active-low - enables interface flexibility. |
| RESIN | Manual reset input | Active-low asynchronous reset override; forces RESET assertion regardless of SENSE state. |
| RESET | Complementary active-low output | Open-drain/totem-pole capable; drives low during reset condition; requires pull-up for open-drain mode. |
| RESET | Complementary active-high output | Push-pull output; asserts high during reset; eliminates need for external pull-up in most MCU interfaces. |
| NC | No connect | Pin 8 is unconnected; must remain floating or grounded per layout guidelines to avoid noise coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable delay time | Set precisely via external capacitor (CT); avoids fixed-timing limitations of monolithic supervisors. |
| Power-down control support | Enables automatic disabling of static RAM during power loss by coordinating CONTROL and RESET signals. |
| Defined RESET output at VDD ≥ 1 V | Guarantees valid reset assertion even during deep brownout, critical for non-volatile memory retention. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLC7701QD | SOIC-8 package (3.9 mm × 4.9 mm), same electrical specs and temperature range (–40°C to 125°C). | Preferred for space-constrained PCBs; requires rework of footprint and thermal relief design. | Select when board area is limited and surface-mount assembly is available. |

FAQ
What is the exact sense threshold voltage of the TLC7701QP?
The TLC7701QP has a nominal sense threshold voltage of 1.1 V, with a guaranteed range of 1.04 V to 1.16 V over its full operating temperature range (–40°C to 125°C). This value applies when SENSE is connected directly to the monitored rail; external resistor dividers allow adjustment to other thresholds, consistent with the TLC7701QP's design as the only customizable variant in the TLC77xx family.
Does the TLC7701QP support active-high and active-low reset outputs simultaneously?
Yes, the TLC7701QP provides both RESET (active-low) and RESET (active-high) outputs on separate pins. The CONTROL pin determines polarity logic: when CONTROL = GND, RESET is active-high and RESET is active-low; when CONTROL = VDD, their states invert. This dual-output capability eliminates external inverters in mixed-logic systems and simplifies interface to diverse microcontrollers.
How is the reset delay time set on the TLC7701QP?
The reset delay time (td) on the TLC7701QP is set externally using a capacitor (CT) connected between the CT pin and GND. 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 ~2.1 ms delay. This programmability enables precise tailoring to system boot requirements without firmware changes or component substitution.
Can the TLC7701QP be used in battery-backed SRAM applications?
Yes, the TLC7701QP explicitly supports power-down control for static RAM with battery backup. When CONTROL is driven by the memory bank select signal and RESET controls the SRAM chip select (CS), the device automatically disables memory access during main supply failure. This function is documented in Figure 10 of the SLVS087M datasheet and validated for use in medical data loggers and industrial controllers where data integrity is critical.
What is the maximum supply current of the TLC7701QP across temperature?
The TLC7701QP draws a maximum supply current of 16 µA over its full operating temperature range (–40°C to 125°C) and supply voltage range (2 V to 6 V), as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table of the SLVS087M datasheet. This ultra-low quiescent current enables multi-year operation in battery-powered applications such as portable diagnostics and remote sensors without compromising supervision reliability.
