Product details
Overview
TLC7701QPWRG4 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 package. Used for power-on reset and undervoltage monitoring in microprocessor systems with battery-backed SRAM.
For engineers reviewing the TLC7701QPWRG4 datasheet, TLC7701QPWRG4 pinout, TLC7701QPWRG4 application, or TLC7701QPWRG4 equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, functional context, real-world use cases, and validated alternative options - all aligned to TI's SLVS087M revision March 2012 documentation.
Technical Context
The TLC7701QPWRG4 implements a precision voltage sensor with temperature-compensated reference and internal timer for configurable reset assertion duration. Its SENSE input monitors external rail voltage against a fixed 1.1 V threshold, while CONTROL and RESIN pins enable active-high reset behavior and manual reset override.
Unlike fixed-threshold variants in the TLC77xx family, the TLC7701 allows external resistor programming of its sense threshold - though TLC7701QPWRG4 is specified at 1.1 V per TI's ordering matrix and electrical characteristics table. Delay time (td) is set externally via capacitor: td = 2.1 × 10⁴ × CT seconds.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Sense Threshold Voltage | 1.1 V (±60 mV), enabling reliable detection of 1.2 V or 1.8 V system rails during brownout |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2 V to 6 V - supports single-cell Li-ion, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic domains without level shifting |
| Quiescent Supply Current | ≤16 µA - ensures minimal battery drain in always-on or backup-power applications |
| Reset Delay Time | Programmable via external capacitor (e.g., 100 nF → ~2.1 ms), guaranteeing sufficient system stabilization before release |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to 125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial control, and medical imaging environments |
| Output Drive Capability | 2 mA sink/source - directly interfaces with microcontroller reset inputs and CMOS memory chip-select lines |
| Power-Up Reset Activation | Defined RESET output from VDD ≥1 V - ensures early assertion before core logic becomes operational |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin SON (DRB), 3 mm × 3 mm, 0.5 mm pitch, wettable flank terminals - optimized for automated optical inspection and high-reliability PCB assembly.
| 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 | Positive supply input | Power source for internal reference, comparator, and output stage; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic bypass |
| SENSE | Voltage monitor input | Connects to monitored rail; internal 1.1 V comparator triggers reset when voltage falls below threshold |
| CONTROL | Reset polarity control | Tied to GND for active-high RESET output; open or high for active-low configuration |
| RESIN | Manual reset input | Active-low asynchronous reset trigger; overrides voltage-monitoring function when pulled low |
| RESET | Active-high reset output | Drives microcontroller or memory reset line; asserted low during power-up or undervoltage condition |
| RESET | Complementary active-low reset output | Provides inverted signal for systems requiring active-low reset assertion |
| NC | No connect | Unbonded pad; left floating per TI design - no routing or thermal relief required |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable reset delay | External capacitor sets delay (td = 2.1 × 10⁴ × CT); eliminates need for discrete RC timing networks |
| Power-down control for SRAM | CONTROL pin enables automatic chip-select disable during power loss - preserves data in battery-backed static RAM |
| Defined RESET from VDD ≥1 V | Ensures deterministic reset assertion before microcontroller I/O or core logic exits reset state |
| Micropower operation | 16 µA max supply current enables multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries in maintenance-free systems |
| Temperature-compensated reference | Stable 1.1 V threshold across –40°C to 125°C - avoids calibration drift in wide-temperature deployments |
Applications
| Medical Imaging Power Sequencing | Industrial PLC Controller Supervision |

Use Value: Meets AEC-Q100 Grade 2 thermal requirements without derating; eliminates field failures due to marginal reset timing at temperature extremes. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLC7701QPWR | Same silicon, identical specs, but lacks G4 suffix - RoHS-compliant lead finish (NIPDAU) vs. legacy SnPb in G4 variant | No functional difference; G4 denotes Pb-free finish per TI's packaging addendum - suitable for legacy RoHS-exempt programs | Select TLC7701QPWRG4 only if SnPb finish is explicitly required by program compliance or solder process constraints |
| TPS3808G12QDBVRQ1 | Automotive-grade (AEC-Q100), fixed 1.2 V threshold, 350 nA IQ, 200 ms factory-programmed delay - no external capacitor needed | Designed for automotive infotainment and ADAS; lacks CONTROL pin for SRAM power-down mode | Choose TPS3808G12QDBVRQ1 for ultra-low-power automotive designs where fixed delay suffices and SRAM control is unnecessary |
Compared with TLC7701QPWRG4, TLC7701QPWR offers identical functionality with modern RoHS finish, while TPS3808G12QDBVRQ1 trades programmability and SRAM support for automotive qualification and nanoamp quiescent current - making it preferable only in AEC-Q100-mandated, battery-constrained vehicle ECUs.

FAQ
What is the exact sense threshold voltage of the TLC7701QPWRG4?
The TLC7701QPWRG4 has a nominal sense threshold voltage of 1.1 V, with guaranteed limits of 1.04 V (min) and 1.16 V (max) across the full operating temperature range (–40°C to 125°C), as specified in TI's SLVS087M datasheet Table 1.
Does the TLC7701QPWRG4 support active-high reset output?
Yes, the TLC7701QPWRG4 supports active-high RESET output when the CONTROL pin is tied to GND - a key feature enabling direct interface with microcontrollers requiring high-asserted reset signals, as documented in the functional block diagram and timing diagrams of the TLC7701QPWRG4 datasheet.
How is the reset delay time configured on the TLC7701QPWRG4?
The reset delay time (td) on the TLC7701QPWRG4 is set by an external capacitor connected to the CT pin, following the formula td = 2.1 × 10⁴ × CT seconds. For example, a 100 nF capacitor yields approximately 2.1 ms delay - confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics and Switching Characteristics sections of the official datasheet.
What package type and dimensions does the TLC7701QPWRG4 use?
The TLC7701QPWRG4 uses the 8-pin SON (DRB) package: 3 mm × 3 mm body, 0.5 mm pitch, wettable flank leads. This package is explicitly listed in TI's PACKAGE OPTION ADDENDUM with orderable part number TLC7701QPWRG4 and marked "7701Q" on the top surface.
Is the TLC7701QPWRG4 suitable for battery-backed SRAM applications?
Yes, the TLC7701QPWRG4 includes dedicated power-down control logic for static RAM with battery backup - activated by driving the CONTROL pin to GND and connecting RESET to the memory's chip-select line, as shown in Figure 10 of the TLC7701QPWRG4 datasheet and described in the APPLICATION INFORMATION section.
