Product details
Overview
TLC7703IPWR from Texas Instruments is a micropower supply voltage supervisor IC with fixed 2.63 V threshold, active-low RESET output, programmable delay via external capacitor, and operation across 2 V to 6 V supply range. It provides power-on reset generation, undervoltage monitoring, and power-down control for static RAM with battery backup-used in medical imaging systems and industrial microcontroller-based equipment.
For engineers reviewing the TLC7703IPWR datasheet, TLC7703IPWR pinout, TLC7703IPWR application, or TLC7703IPWR equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, DRB-package terminal mapping, real-world use cases in power-fail retention and microprocessor reset sequencing, and validated alternative parts for design continuity.
Technical Context
The TLC7703IPWR implements a precision voltage-sensing comparator with temperature-compensated internal reference and hysteresis (70 mV), ensuring stable threshold detection over –40°C to 85°C. Its internal timer generates a user-defined reset delay (td = 2.1 × 10⁴ × CT) after SENSE voltage recovers above 2.63 V.
It supports dual reset logic modes: when CONTROL is grounded, RESET becomes active-high; otherwise, it operates as active-low. The device asserts RESET at VDD ≥ 1 V during power-up and maintains defined output states down to VDD = 1 V, enabling reliable initialization in low-voltage embedded systems.
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. |
| Threshold Voltage (SENSE) | 2.63 V (typical), ±70 mV hysteresis - ensures noise-immune undervoltage detection for 3.3 V rails. |
| Reset Delay Time | Programmable via external CT: td = 2.1 × 10⁴ × CT (e.g., 2.1 ms with 100 nF) - enables precise system reset timing alignment. |
| Supply Current | 9–16 µA (typical) - enables multi-year operation in energy-constrained IoT and portable medical devices. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for commercial/industrial environments including medical imaging subsystems. |
| Output Drive | 2 mA sink/source - directly interfaces with microcontroller reset inputs and CMOS memory chip-select lines. |
| Power-Up Reset Voltage | 1 V - guarantees early assertion of RESET before core logic powers up, preventing metastability. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin TSSOP (PW), 3.0 mm × 3.0 mm body, 0.65 mm pitch, RoHS-compliant NIPDAU lead finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | Positive supply input | Accepts 2–6 V; powers internal reference, comparator, and output stage; RESET defined down to 1 V. |
| GND | Ground reference | Return path for all internal circuitry and output current; must be low-impedance for stable threshold accuracy. |
| SENSE | Voltage monitor input | Compares applied voltage against 2.63 V internal threshold; bypass capacitor recommended near pin. |
| RESET | Active-low reset output | Open-drain compatible; sinks 2 mA minimum; asserted low when SENSE < 2.63 V or during power-up delay. |
| RESIN | Reset inhibit input | Active-low; forces RESET high when pulled low, overriding voltage-monitoring function for manual reset control. |
| CONTROL | Output polarity select | When tied to GND, configures RESET as active-high; used for SRAM power-down control in battery-backup circuits. |
| NC | No connect | Pins 1 and 8 are unconnected in DRB/PW package - no internal connection; leave floating or ground per layout best practice. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable reset delay | Enables system-specific timing alignment (e.g., 1–100 ms) using only one external capacitor-no firmware or additional logic required. |
| Power-down control support | Direct interface to static RAM chip-select via CONTROL pin, enabling automatic memory disable during brownout-preserves data integrity without host intervention. |
| Micropower operation | 16 µA max supply current allows integration into always-on subsystems (e.g., patient monitors) without compromising battery life. |
| Defined RESET at low VDD | Guaranteed RESET assertion down to VDD = 1 V eliminates race conditions during slow-ramp power supplies or capacitor discharge scenarios. |
| Temperature-compensated reference | Stable 2.63 V threshold over –40°C to +85°C ensures consistent reset behavior across environmental stress testing and field deployment. |

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, push-pull output, no CONTROL pin. | Lacks power-down control mode; requires external logic for SRAM disable; better suited for ultra-low-power always-on monitoring. | Select when lowest possible IQ is critical and SRAM control is handled elsewhere; not drop-in due to different pinout and missing CONTROL function. |
| MAX6326UT33D3+ | 3.3 V threshold, 1.6 µA IQ, guaranteed reset pulse width (140 ms min), no programmable delay. | Fixed delay eliminates capacitor tuning but reduces flexibility; higher accuracy (±0.5%) vs. TLC7703IPWR's ±2.7%. | Choose when deterministic, long-duration reset pulses are mandatory and external capacitor placement is undesirable. |
Compared with TPS3808G33DBVR and MAX6326UT33D3+, the TLC7703IPWR uniquely combines programmable delay, SRAM power-down control, and 2.63 V threshold-making it optimal for 3.3 V systems needing both reset timing flexibility and hardware-level memory protection.

FAQ
What is the exact threshold voltage of the TLC7703IPWR and how tightly is it specified?
The TLC7703IPWR has a nominal sense threshold voltage of 2.63 V, with a guaranteed range of 2.56 V to 2.70 V over the full operating temperature and supply range. This ±2.7% tolerance is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under VIT– parameter, measured at VDD = 2 V to 6 V. The device also provides 70 mV of built-in hysteresis to prevent chatter near the trip point.
How does the CONTROL pin affect the RESET output behavior in the TLC7703IPWR?
In the TLC7703IPWR, the CONTROL pin determines RESET polarity: when CONTROL is tied to GND, RESET becomes active-high; when left open or pulled high, RESET remains active-low. This dual-mode capability enables direct interfacing with both standard microcontroller reset inputs (active-low) and static RAM chip-select lines (active-high) in battery-backup configurations without external inverters.
Can the TLC7703IPWR be used with a 1.8 V supply rail?
No-the TLC7703IPWR requires a minimum VDD of 2 V per the Recommended Operating Conditions table. At 1.8 V, the internal reference and comparator may not function reliably, and RESET assertion is not guaranteed. For 1.8 V systems, consider TI's TPS3808G18 or similar low-voltage supervisors explicitly rated down to 0.9 V.
What is the maximum value of external capacitor CT that can be used to set the reset delay time in the TLC7703IPWR?
The TLC7703IPWR supports CT values up to 10 µF based on characterization data and practical layout constraints. With the formula td = 2.1 × 10⁴ × CT, a 10 µF capacitor yields ~210 seconds delay. However, for stability and leakage considerations, TI recommends staying within 100 nF to 1 µF in most designs-verified in the Switching Characteristics section with CT = 100 nF yielding 1.1–4.2 ms typical delay.
Is the TLC7703IPWR pin-compatible with other members of the TLC77xx family such as TLC7725IPWR or TLC7705IPWR?
Yes-the TLC7703IPWR shares identical 8-pin TSSOP (PW) package, pinout, and functional pin assignments with TLC7725IPWR (2.25 V), TLC7733IPWR (2.93 V), and TLC7705IPWR (4.55 V). All variants use the same DRB footprint and logic interface, enabling direct voltage-threshold substitution in existing PCB layouts without redesign.
