Product details
Overview
TLC7701QPW 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 time via external capacitor (td = 2.1 × 10⁴ × CT), defined RESET output down to VDD ≥ 1 V, and operates across –40°C to 125°C. It supports power-down control for static RAM with battery backup in medical imaging and industrial control applications.
For engineers reviewing the TLC7701QPW datasheet, TLC7701QPW pinout, TLC7701QPW application, or TLC7701QPW equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, TSSOP-8 package details, functional block context, real-world use cases in power-fail retention and cold-start sequencing, and validated alternative parts with explicit technical distinctions.
Technical Context
The TLC7701QPW implements a precision voltage-sensing comparator with temperature-compensated reference, internal power-on-reset generator, and an external capacitor–controlled delay timer. Its SENSE input monitors supply or rail voltage, asserting active-low RESET when VI(SENSE) drops below 1.1 V (with 30 mV hysteresis), holding it active for td after recovery.
It supports dual-mode operation: when CONTROL is grounded, RESET becomes active-high; when CONTROL is high, RESET remains active-low. This enables flexible integration with memory chip-select logic during brownout events-critical for data retention in battery-backed SRAM systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2 V to 6 V - supports wide-input industrial and automotive auxiliary rails. |
| Sense Threshold Voltage | 1.1 V (min 1.04 V, max 1.16 V) - precise undervoltage detection for 1.2 V or 1.8 V logic domains. |
| Hysteresis Voltage | 30 mV - prevents chatter near threshold during slow-rising/falling supplies. |
| Supply Current | 9 µA to 16 µA - enables multi-year battery life in always-on monitoring circuits. |
| Delay Time Formula | td = 2.1 × 10⁴ × CT - allows user-defined reset hold time (e.g., 2.1 ms with 100 nF). |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to 125°C - qualified for under-hood, industrial, and extended-range embedded environments. |
| Output Type | Totem-pole - drives loads directly without pull-up resistors; supports 2 mA sink/source. |
Pinout & Package
TLC7701QPW is housed in an 8-pin TSSOP (PW) package, 3.0 mm × 4.4 mm, 0.65 mm pitch, RoHS-compliant, with moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1 and peak reflow rating of 260°C.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | Power supply input | Accepts 2–6 V; powers internal reference, comparator, and output stage. |
| GND | Ground reference | Return path for all currents; must be low-impedance for stable threshold accuracy. |
| SENSE | Voltage monitor input | Compares applied voltage against 1.1 V internal reference; bypass capacitor recommended. |
| CONTROL | Reset polarity selector | Low = active-high RESET; high = active-low RESET - enables SRAM CS control logic. |
| RESIN | Manual reset input | Active-low asynchronous reset override; valid at 0.2×VDD (low) / 0.7×VDD (high). |
| RESET | Complementary reset output | Active-low open-drain/totem-pole output; asserts when SENSE < threshold or RESIN low. |
| RESET | Complementary reset output | Active-high counterpart to RESET; polarity follows CONTROL state. |
| NC | No connect | Pin 8 is unconnected - no internal bond; must remain floating or grounded per layout guidelines. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable delay time | External capacitor sets reset hold duration (e.g., 100 nF → ~2.1 ms), eliminating fixed-timer ICs. |
| Power-down control support | CONTROL pin enables automatic SRAM disable during power loss - preserves data in battery-backed systems. |
| Defined RESET at VDD ≥ 1 V | Guarantees valid reset assertion even during deep brownout or ultra-low-power wake-up sequences. |
| Temperature-compensated reference | Maintains ±1.5% threshold stability over –40°C to 125°C - critical for automotive and industrial reliability. |
| 16 µA max supply current | Enables continuous supervision in energy-constrained IoT edge nodes and portable medical devices. |
Applications
| Medical Imaging Power Sequencing | Industrial PLC Brownout Protection |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: MRI and ultrasound subsystems require precise power-up sequencing and fail-safe shutdown during AC line interruption. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TLC7701QPW monitors 3.3 V and 1.2 V rails, asserts RESET until both stabilize, then holds for programmable delay before releasing processor. Use Value: Prevents corrupted image acquisition or firmware lockup by ensuring clean boot after power restoration. |
Use Scenario: Programmable logic controllers operate in harsh factory environments with unstable 24 V DC supplies prone to dips. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TLC7701QPW senses 5 V logic rail; triggers controlled I/O freeze and nonvolatile register save upon undervoltage detection. Use Value: Eliminates spurious relay actuation or sensor misreads during transient sags - improves system MTBF. |
| Battery-Backed SRAM Data Retention | Automotive Infotainment Cold-Start Reset |
|
Use Scenario: Telematics modules retain GPS logs and configuration in static CMOS RAM during ignition-off periods. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TLC7701QPW's CONTROL pin ties to microcontroller bank select; RESET drives SRAM CS to disable writes during main supply collapse. Use Value: Ensures zero data corruption during 12 V battery drop to 6 V - meets AEC-Q100 Class 0 transient immunity. |
Use Scenario: Head units must initialize cleanly after vehicle cold crank (battery dips to 6 V then surges to 14 V). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TLC7701QPW monitors 5 V LDO output; asserts RESET until voltage exceeds 1.1 V and remains stable for >2 ms. Use Value: Guarantees DSP and display controller reset only after stable power - avoids GUI hang or audio artifacts. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3801K33DBVR | Fixed 3.3 V threshold; no external delay capacitor; 1.6 µA quiescent current; push-pull RESET only. | Lacks programmable delay and dual-polarity RESET; unsuitable for SRAM power-down control. | Select when fixed-threshold, ultra-low-IQ supervision suffices and delay timing is handled externally. |
| MAX6326LT11D2T | 1.1 V threshold; fixed 200 ms delay; no CONTROL pin; open-drain RESET only; –40°C to 85°C. | Cannot support active-high RESET or battery-backed SRAM disable; limited temperature range. | Choose for cost-sensitive consumer designs where extended temp range and polarity flexibility are unnecessary. |
Compared with TLC7701QPW, TPS3801K33DBVR offers lower IQ but forfeits delay programmability and SRAM control capability, while MAX6326LT11D2T provides simpler integration at the expense of industrial temperature support and functional flexibility.

FAQ
What is the exact sense threshold voltage of the TLC7701QPW?
The TLC7701QPW 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, measured across the full operating temperature range of –40°C to 125°C and supply voltage range of 2 V to 6 V.
How does the CONTROL pin affect the RESET output behavior of the TLC7701QPW?
When CONTROL is tied to GND, the TLC7701QPW configures RESET as active-high and RESET as active-low. When CONTROL is pulled high, both outputs revert to active-low polarity. This dual-mode capability enables direct interfacing with SRAM chip-select logic during power failure scenarios.
Can the TLC7701QPW generate a reset pulse longer than 10 ms?
Yes - the TLC7701QPW's delay time is set by an external capacitor using td = 2.1 × 10⁴ × CT. A 1 µF capacitor yields ~21 ms delay, and larger values extend it further. The device supports capacitors up to at least 10 µF, enabling delays beyond 200 ms with appropriate tolerance and leakage considerations.
Is the TLC7701QPW compatible with 1.8 V logic systems?
Yes - the TLC7701QPW operates down to VDD = 2 V and features input thresholds referenced to VDD (e.g., VIH = 0.7 × VDD). At 2 V supply, its RESIN and CONTROL inputs recognize logic high above 1.4 V and low below 0.6 V, making it interoperable with 1.8 V I/O domains when powered from a compatible rail.
Does the TLC7701QPW require an external bypass capacitor on VDD?
Yes - the datasheet specifies that a ceramic bypass capacitor (0.1 µF) must be placed near the VDD and GND pins to ensure stable operation and optimal threshold voltage accuracy. This minimizes noise coupling into the precision reference and comparator circuitry of the TLC7701QPW.
