Product details
Overview
TLC7703QP from Texas Instruments is a micropower supply voltage supervisor IC with fixed 2.63 V sense threshold, operating across –40°C to 125°C, supporting power-on reset, undervoltage detection, and programmable delay via external capacitor (td = 2.1 × 10⁴ × CT), designed for microcomputer/microprocessor system reset control in industrial and automotive environments.
For engineers reviewing the TLC7703QP datasheet, TLC7703QP pinout, TLC7703QP application, or TLC7703QP equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, DRB-8 package terminal mapping, real-world use cases in power-fail memory retention and medical imaging systems, and validated alternative options for design continuity.
Technical Context
The TLC7703QP integrates a precision temperature-compensated voltage reference, internal timer-based delay circuitry, and dual-output totem-pole logic (RESET and RESET) with defined output behavior down to VDD ≥ 1 V. It monitors SENSE voltage against a fixed 2.63 V threshold and asserts reset when VI(SENSE) falls below VIT–, maintaining active state until both threshold recovery and delay expiration occur.
Its CONTROL input enables power-down mode for static RAM with battery backup: tying CONTROL to GND configures RESET as active-high, allowing automatic chip-select disable during brownout. The device draws only 9–16 µA quiescent current and supports supply voltages from 2 V to 6 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2 V to 6 V - operates across wide input range, enabling compatibility with 3.3 V and 5 V systems without level-shifting. |
| Sense Threshold Voltage | 2.63 V (typical), ±70 mV hysteresis - precise undervoltage detection point for 3.3 V rail monitoring with noise immunity. |
| Reset Delay Time | Programmable via external capacitor: td = 2.1 × 10⁴ × CT - allows adjustable reset hold time (e.g., 2.1 ms with 100 nF). |
| Supply Current | 9–16 µA (IDD) - ultra-low power consumption critical for battery-backed or energy-sensitive applications. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for extended industrial and under-hood automotive environments. |
| Output Drive | ±2 mA (IOL/IOH), totem-pole - sufficient to directly drive microcontroller reset inputs or small logic loads without buffering. |
| Power-Up Reset Voltage | 1 V - ensures reliable assertion of RESET during ramp-up, even before full VDD stabilization. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 3 mm × 3 mm, 8-pin SON (DRB) - thermally enhanced, leadless, RoHS-compliant surface-mount package with exposed thermal pad; suitable for high-density PCB layouts and medical imaging applications requiring non-magnetic construction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | Positive supply input | Primary power connection; device functions from 2 V to 6 V, with RESET defined down to 1 V. |
| GND | Ground reference | Return path for all internal circuits and outputs; must be low-impedance for stable threshold operation. |
| SENSE | Voltage monitor input | Connects to monitored rail (e.g., 3.3 V); triggers reset when voltage drops below 2.63 V threshold. |
| CONTROL | Mode selection input | Low = active-high RESET (for RAM power-down); high = standard active-low RESET behavior. |
| RESIN | Manual reset input | Active-low asynchronous reset override; pulls RESET low when asserted regardless of SENSE state. |
| RESET | Active-low reset output | Open-drain compatible totem-pole output; drives microcontroller /RESET pin low during fault condition. |
| RESET | Active-high reset output | Complementary to RESET; used for direct interface with logic requiring high-active reset signals. |
| NC | No connect | Unbonded pin; must remain unconnected per TI DRB-8 mechanical drawing and functional specification. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Power-on reset generator | Guarantees valid reset assertion at VDD ≥ 1 V, eliminating need for external RC timing networks during startup. |
| Automatic reset after voltage drop | Detects undervoltage events on SENSE rail and holds RESET active until both threshold recovery and programmable delay expire. |
| Temperature-compensated reference | Maintains stable 2.63 V threshold across –40°C to +125°C, minimizing drift-induced false resets in harsh environments. |
| Static RAM power-down support | CONTROL pin enables seamless integration with battery-backed SRAM by disabling CS during brownout without MCU intervention. |
| Micropower operation | Max 16 µA supply current enables use in always-on, low-power subsystems such as sensor nodes or safety monitors. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLC7703QD | Same 2.63 V threshold, SOIC-8 package (4.9 mm × 3.9 mm), higher thermal resistance (5.8 mW/°C derating vs DRB's 11.0 mW/°C). | Preferred where board space permits larger footprint and hand-soldering is required; lacks DRB's non-magnetic suitability for MRI. | Select TLC7703QD only if legacy SOIC layout exists; TLC7703QP offers superior thermal performance and smaller area. |
| TPS3808G33 | Fixed 3.3 V threshold, 1.6 µA max IDD, 200 ms factory-fixed delay, no CONTROL pin or RESET complement. | Designed for simpler 3.3 V rail supervision without RAM power-down logic; lacks dual-output flexibility and programmable timing. | Choose TPS3808G33 only when fixed delay and minimal quiescent current outweigh need for configurability and dual outputs. |
Compared with TLC7703QD, TLC7703QP delivers 2× better thermal dissipation and 30% smaller PCB area; versus TPS3808G33, it provides programmable delay, dual active-high/low outputs, and dedicated RAM power-down control-critical for deterministic data retention.

FAQ
What is the exact sense threshold voltage of the TLC7703QP?
The TLC7703QP has a fixed negative-going input threshold voltage (VIT–) of 2.63 V (typical), with a guaranteed range of 2.56 V to 2.70 V across its –40°C to +125°C operating temperature range. This value is factory-trimmed and does not require external resistor programming like the TLC7701.
How do I calculate the reset delay time for the TLC7703QP?
The reset delay time (td) for the TLC7703QP is calculated using td = 2.1 × 10⁴ × CT, where CT is the external capacitor value in farads. For example, a 100 nF capacitor yields td = 2.1 ms. This delay begins after SENSE voltage recovers above threshold and ensures stable system reset before release.
Does the TLC7703QP support active-high reset output?
Yes, the TLC7703QP provides both RESET (active-low) and RESET (active-high) complementary outputs. When CONTROL is tied to GND, RESET becomes active-high-enabling direct interface with logic or memory chips requiring high-asserted reset signals without external inverters.
What is the minimum supply voltage at which TLC7703QP asserts RESET during power-up?
The TLC7703QP asserts RESET during power-up when VDD reaches 1 V, as specified by the power-up reset voltage (Vres) parameter. This ensures early and reliable reset assertion before the microcontroller or FPGA reaches its operational voltage threshold.
Is the DRB package of the TLC7703QP suitable for medical imaging applications?
Yes-the DRB package used by the TLC7703QP is explicitly designated as a non-magnetic option for medical imaging applications per TI documentation. Its leadless, ceramic-based construction avoids ferromagnetic materials that could interfere with MRI magnetic fields.
