Product details
Overview
TLC7703IPWG4 from Texas Instruments is a micropower supply voltage supervisor IC with fixed 2.63 V threshold, active-low RESET output, and programmable delay via external capacitor. It operates from 2 V to 6 V supply, draws ≤16 µA quiescent current, and supports power-down control for battery-backed static RAM. It is used in medical imaging systems requiring reliable undervoltage detection and clean reset assertion during brownout.
For engineers reviewing the TLC7703IPWG4 datasheet, TLC7703IPWG4 pinout, TLC7703IPWG4 application, or TLC7703IPWG4 equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, DRB-package terminal mapping, real-world use cases in power-critical embedded systems, and validated alternative options for design flexibility and supply continuity.
Technical Context
The TLC7703IPWG4 implements a precision voltage-sensing comparator with temperature-compensated internal reference and hysteresis (70 mV) to prevent chatter near threshold. Its power-on reset generator asserts RESET when VDD reaches ≥1 V, then transitions to undervoltage supervision once VDD ≥2 V is established.
Delay time (td = 2.1 × 10⁴ × CT) is externally set by capacitor CT on the CT pin, enabling configurable reset hold duration from ~1.1 ms to >4 ms. The CONTROL input allows active-high RESET behavior when grounded, supporting memory bank disable during power failure in battery-backed SRAM applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Threshold Voltage | 2.63 V (fixed negative-going SENSE threshold; ensures stable reset release at nominal 2.63 V ±70 mV hysteresis) |
| Supply Range | 2 V to 6 V (supports single-cell Li-ion, 3.3 V, and 5 V rail monitoring without external regulation) |
| Quiescent Current | ≤16 µA (enables multi-year battery operation in portable medical and industrial sensors) |
| Reset Delay | Programmable via CT pin (1.1–4.2 ms typical with 100 nF; ensures sufficient system stabilization before release) |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to 85°C (qualified for commercial/industrial ambient environments; matches SOIC-D and TSSOP variants) |
| Output Type | Active-low totem-pole RESET (drives low to <0.5 V at 2 mA; compatible with standard CMOS logic inputs) |
| Power-Up Reset | Asserts RESET at VDD ≥1 V (guarantees early initialization before core logic becomes functional) |
Pinout & Package
The TLC7703IPWG4 is housed in an 8-pin 3×3 mm SON (DRB) package with wettable flanks, optimized for automated optical inspection and high-reliability medical imaging applications.
| 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 | Primary power source (2–6 V); bypass capacitor (0.1 µF ceramic) required near pin for noise immunity |
| SENSE | Voltage monitor input | Monitors regulated rail; asserts RESET when voltage drops below 2.63 V (with 70 mV hysteresis) |
| RESET | Active-low reset output | Drives microcontroller / FPGA / ASIC reset input low during fault; open-drain compatible with pull-up |
| CONTROL | Reset polarity control | Grounding forces active-high RESET behavior; floating or high disables polarity inversion |
| RESIN | Manual reset input | Active-low asynchronous reset trigger; overrides voltage monitoring when pulled low |
| CT | Delay timing capacitor connection | Connects external capacitor to set reset hold time (td = 2.1 × 10⁴ × CT); no internal pull-up/down |
| NC | No connect | Internally unconnected; must remain unconnected per TI specification to avoid malfunction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable reset delay | Configurable hold time (1.1–4.2 ms typical) via single external capacitor-eliminates need for discrete RC networks or timers |
| Ultra-low supply current | ≤16 µA max at 5 V enables integration into always-on battery-powered devices without compromising runtime |
| Defined reset at low VDD | Guaranteed RESET assertion down to VDD = 1 V-ensures robust startup sequencing even with slow-ramping supplies |
| Power-down memory control | CONTROL pin enables automatic SRAM chip-select disable during brownout-preserves data integrity in backup-battery systems |
| Temperature-compensated reference | Stable 2.63 V threshold across –40°C to 85°C-avoids false resets due to thermal drift in industrial enclosures |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Fixed 3.3 V threshold; 350 nA quiescent current; 200 ms min delay (non-programmable); SOT-23-6 package | Lower power but longer fixed delay; lacks CONTROL pin for SRAM power-down mode | Select when ultra-low current dominates over delay flexibility and memory control features |
| MAX6326UT26D3+T | 2.63 V threshold; 1.6 µA quiescent current; 140 ms min delay; SC70-5 package; no CT pin or CONTROL pin | Higher accuracy (±0.5%) but no programmable delay or SRAM support; limited temp range (–40°C to 125°C) | Select when precision threshold and minimal footprint outweigh need for delay tuning or memory interface |
Compared with TLC7703IPWG4, TPS3808G33DBVR offers 20× lower supply current but sacrifices delay configurability and SRAM control; MAX6326UT26D3+T provides tighter threshold tolerance but removes both key flexibility features-making TLC7703IPWG4 uniquely suited for cost-sensitive, battery-backed systems needing adaptive reset timing and memory coordination.

FAQ
What is the exact threshold voltage of the TLC7703IPWG4, and how stable is it over temperature?
The TLC7703IPWG4 has a fixed negative-going input threshold voltage of 2.63 V, with ±70 mV hysteresis to prevent oscillation near trip point. Per TI SLVS087M datasheet, this threshold is temperature-compensated and remains within 2.56 V to 2.70 V across the full –40°C to 85°C operating range. The internal reference ensures stability without external trimming components, making TLC7703IPWG4 suitable for unattended deployments in variable-temperature environments.
Can the TLC7703IPWG4 be used with a 1.8 V supply rail?
No-the TLC7703IPWG4 requires a minimum VDD of 2 V per its recommended operating conditions. At 1.8 V, the internal circuitry may not function reliably: the power-up reset will not assert (as Vres = 1 V only applies when VDD ≥2 V), and comparator performance-including threshold accuracy and output drive-is not characterized. For 1.8 V systems, consider TI's TPS3808G18 or similar low-voltage supervisors explicitly rated down to 1.6 V.
How do I calculate the reset delay time for a given capacitor value on the CT pin of the TLC7703IPWG4?
Use the formula 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 × 10⁴ × 100 × 10⁻⁹ = 2.1 ms. TI specifies typical delay range of 1.1–4.2 ms with CT = 100 nF; actual values vary slightly with process and temperature. Always verify timing in final PCB layout using oscilloscope measurement at RESET pin under worst-case VDD and temperature.
Does the TLC7703IPWG4 support active-high RESET output, and how is it configured?
Yes-the TLC7703IPWG4 supports active-high RESET behavior via the CONTROL pin. When CONTROL is tied to GND, the RESET output becomes active-high (i.e., driven high during fault condition). This mode is explicitly intended for interfacing with static RAM chip-select lines during power failure. Leaving CONTROL open or pulling it high retains default active-low RESET operation. No external inverters or logic are needed.
Is the NC pin on the TLC7703IPWG4 safe to connect to ground or leave floating?
The NC (No Connect) pin on the TLC7703IPWG4 must remain unconnected-neither grounded nor tied to any signal or supply. TI documentation confirms this pin is internally unconnected; routing or soldering to it risks parasitic coupling, increased EMI susceptibility, or undefined behavior during transient events. PCB layout must omit any trace, pad, or via associated with the NC pin to ensure compliance with TI's DRB package specification.
