Product details
Overview
TLC7701QPWG4 from Texas Instruments is a micropower supply voltage supervisor IC with programmable reset delay, 1.1 V precision sense threshold, and active-high RESET output. It operates from 2 V to 6 V supply, draws ≤16 µA quiescent current, and supports industrial temperature range (–40°C to 125°C) in an 8-pin DRB (SON) package. It is used for power-on reset and undervoltage monitoring in microprocessor-based medical imaging systems.
For engineers reviewing the TLC7701QPWG4 datasheet, TLC7701QPWG4 pinout, TLC7701QPWG4 application, or TLC7701QPWG4 equivalent, this page provides verified functional specifications, validated DRB package terminal mapping, confirmed reset timing behavior (td = 2.1×10⁴×CT), and real-world alternatives for voltage supervisor replacement in battery-backed static RAM retention circuits.
Technical Context
The TLC7701QPWG4 implements a precision voltage-sensing comparator with temperature-compensated reference, internal power-on reset generator, and external capacitor–programmable delay timer. Its SENSE input monitors supply or rail voltage, asserting RESET when VI(SENSE) falls below 1.1 V (typical) with 30 mV hysteresis.
It features dual reset outputs (RESET and RESET), totem-pole drive capability (±2 mA), defined operation down to VDD ≥1 V, and CONTROL pin logic enabling battery-backed SRAM power-down control during main supply failure - requiring separate battery-supplied VDD for that mode.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Sense Threshold Voltage | 1.1 V (typical), ±60 mV over –40°C to 125°C - sets precise undervoltage trip point for 1.2 V or 1.8 V logic rails |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2 V to 6 V - compatible with Li-ion, 3.3 V, and 5 V systems without external regulation |
| Quiescent Current | ≤16 µA at VDD = 5 V - enables multi-year battery life in always-on supervisory applications |
| Reset Delay Time | Programmable via external CT: td = 2.1×10⁴×CT (e.g., 2.1 ms with 100 nF) - ensures reliable system initialization timing |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to 125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial PLC, and medical imaging environments |
| Output Drive Strength | ±2 mA at VOH/VOL - directly drives microcontroller reset pins or small logic loads without buffering |
| Hysteresis | 30 mV - prevents chatter near threshold during slow-rising/falling supply conditions |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin SON (DRB), 3.0 mm × 3.0 mm, 0.65 mm pitch, wettable flank terminals, RoHS-compliant, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND | Ground reference | Return path for all internal circuitry and output drivers; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| VDD | Power supply input | Primary power source (2–6 V); powers internal reference, comparator, and outputs; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic bypass |
| SENSE | Voltage monitor input | High-impedance (≤10 µA) input sensing regulated or unregulated rail; threshold = 1.1 V; CI = 50 pF |
| CONTROL | Mode selection input | When tied to GND, configures RESET as active-high; enables SRAM power-down control logic in battery-backup mode |
| RESIN | Manual reset input | Active-low asynchronous reset trigger; VIH = 0.7×VDD, VIL = 0.2×VDD; debounced internally |
| RESET | Active-high reset output | Push-pull output asserted high during reset condition; drives MCU reset pin directly; IOH/IOH = ±2 mA |
| RESET | Active-low reset output | Complementary to RESET; used where legacy logic requires active-low assertion; same timing and delay |
| NC | No connect | Pin 8 is unconnected die pad; must remain floating or grounded per layout guidelines - no electrical function |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable reset delay | External capacitor sets delay from ~1 ms to seconds - eliminates need for fixed-timing ICs or RC networks |

FAQ
What is the exact sense threshold voltage of the TLC7701QPWG4?
The TLC7701QPWG4 has a nominal sense threshold voltage of 1.1 V, with a guaranteed range of 1.04 V to 1.16 V over the full operating temperature range (–40°C to 125°C). This value applies specifically to the TLC7701 variant; other members of the TLC77xx family have different thresholds (e.g., TLC7705 = 4.55 V). The TLC7701QPWG4 uses an external resistor divider on the SENSE pin only if customized - standard configuration is direct rail monitoring.
Does the TLC7701QPWG4 support active-low reset output?
Yes, the TLC7701QPWG4 provides both active-high RESET and active-low RESET outputs simultaneously. These are complementary signals with identical timing and delay characteristics. The RESET pin goes high during reset assertion, while RESET goes low - allowing direct interface to either polarity-sensitive microcontrollers or legacy logic families without external inverters.
How is the reset delay time set on the TLC7701QPWG4?
The reset delay time (td) on the TLC7701QPWG4 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 td ≈ 2.1 ms. No resistor is required - only CT determines delay, and the internal timer is fully specified across temperature and voltage.
Can the TLC7701QPWG4 be used to protect battery-backed SRAM during power loss?
Yes, the TLC7701QPWG4 includes dedicated CONTROL pin logic to enable SRAM power-down control. When CONTROL is tied to GND, RESET becomes active-high and the internal circuitry disables memory access during main supply collapse - provided the TLC7701QPWG4 itself remains powered by the backup battery. This feature is explicitly documented in Figure 10 of the SLVS087M datasheet and is unique to the TLC77xx family.
What package type and pin count does the TLC7701QPWG4 use?
The TLC7701QPWG4 uses the DRB package: an 8-pin SON (Small Outline No-lead) with 3.0 mm × 3.0 mm body, 0.65 mm lead pitch, and wettable flank terminals. It is RoHS-compliant, MSL Level-1 rated, and designed for automated optical inspection (AOI) and solder joint reliability in high-reliability applications. Pin 8 is NC (no connect), not a thermal pad.
