Product details
Overview
TLC7703QPW from Texas Instruments is a micropower supply voltage supervisor IC with fixed 2.63 V sense threshold, active-low RESET output, programmable delay via external capacitor, and operation across –40°C to 125°C. It delivers power-on reset generation, undervoltage supervision, and power-down control for static RAM with battery backup in microprocessor systems.
For engineers reviewing the TLC7703QPW datasheet, TLC7703QPW pinout, TLC7703QPW application, or TLC7703QPW equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, package-validated pin functions, real-world use cases in industrial and medical systems, and two confirmed alternative supervisors with documented functional and timing differences.
Technical Context
The TLC7703QPW monitors the SENSE input against a precision, temperature-compensated 2.63 V threshold and asserts RESET when voltage drops below it. An internal timer enforces a user-programmable delay (td = 2.1 × 10⁴ × CT) before deasserting RESET after recovery.
It supports dual-mode operation: standard undervoltage reset when CONTROL is tied to VDD, and active-high RESET for RAM power-down control when CONTROL is grounded. Its totem-pole outputs drive loads up to 2 mA while consuming only 9–16 µA typical supply current.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Sense Threshold Voltage | 2.63 V ±0.07 V - precise, temperature-stable trip point for 3.3 V rail monitoring |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2 V to 6 V - supports single-supply operation from Li-ion batteries up to 5 V logic rails |
| Reset Delay Time | Programmable via external CT (e.g., 100 nF → 2.1 ms) - ensures reliable system initialization |
| Supply Current | 9–16 µA - enables long-term battery-backed operation without significant drain |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial control environments |
| Output Type | Active-low, totem-pole - drives CMOS inputs directly; no pull-up required |
| Hysteresis | 70 mV - prevents chatter near threshold during slow voltage transitions |
Pinout & Package
TLC7703QPW is housed in an 8-pin TSSOP (PW) package, 3.0 mm × 4.4 mm, 0.65 mm pitch, RoHS-compliant, moisture-sensitive level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | Power supply input | Accepts 2–6 V; powers internal reference, comparator, and output stage |
| GND | Ground reference | Return path for all currents; must be low-impedance for stable threshold accuracy |
| SENSE | Voltage monitor input | Connected to monitored rail; triggers reset when voltage falls below 2.63 V |
| RESET | Active-low reset output | Drives microcontroller /µP reset pin; sinks 2 mA minimum at VOL ≤ 0.5 V |
| RESIN | Manual reset input | Active-low asynchronous reset override; pulls RESET low when asserted |
| CONTROL | Mode selection input | Ground → active-high RESET for RAM power-down; VDD → standard active-low mode |
| NC | No connect | Pin 7 is internally unused; must remain unconnected per TI design guidelines |
| NC | No connect | Pin 8 is internally unused; must remain unconnected per TI design guidelines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Power-on reset generator | Asserts RESET at VDD ≥ 1 V - ensures clean boot before core logic becomes operational |
| Programmable delay time | Delay set by external CT (td = 2.1 × 10⁴ × CT) - eliminates need for internal RC trimming |
| Defined RESET output down to VDD ≥ 1 V | Guarantees valid reset assertion even during brown-out or battery sag conditions |
| Power-down control support | Enables automatic RAM disable during main power loss when CONTROL = GND |
| Temperature-compensated reference | Maintains ±0.07 V threshold stability over –40°C to +125°C - critical for harsh-environment reliability |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Controller | Medical Imaging Power Sequencing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLC7703IPWR | Same 2.63 V threshold, SOIC-8 package, –40°C to +85°C rating | Limited to commercial temperature range; unsuitable for under-hood or extended industrial use | Select when cost-sensitive designs operate strictly within 0–70°C ambient and require through-hole or larger footprint |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 2.93 V threshold, 360 ms fixed delay, 1.6 µA quiescent current, same PW package | Fixed delay eliminates capacitor; lower IQ but incompatible threshold for 3.3 V rail margin analysis | Choose when deterministic delay and ultra-low power dominate over adjustable timing and exact 2.63 V trip point |
Compared with TLC7703QPW, TLC7703IPWR lacks extended temperature capability and requires PCB layout change, while TPS3808G33DBVR trades programmable delay and precise 2.63 V sensing for lower IQ and fixed timing-making TLC7703QPW optimal for thermally demanding, margin-critical 3.3 V supervision.

FAQ
What is the exact sense threshold voltage of the TLC7703QPW?
The TLC7703QPW has a fixed negative-going input threshold voltage (VIT–) of 2.63 V, with a tolerance of ±0.07 V over the full operating temperature range (–40°C to +125°C). This value is factory-trimmed and specified in the Electrical Characteristics table of the SLVS087M datasheet, ensuring accurate 3.3 V rail supervision without external resistor networks.
How is the reset delay time set on the TLC7703QPW?
The reset delay time (td) of the TLC7703QPW is set externally using a capacitor (CT) connected between the CT pin and ground. 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 a nominal delay of 2.1 ms. No resistor is required-only the capacitor determines timing.
Does the TLC7703QPW support active-high reset output?
Yes-the TLC7703QPW supports active-high RESET output when the CONTROL pin is tied to GND. In this configuration, the device generates an active-high signal ideal for controlling chip select (CS) of battery-backed static RAM during power failure. When CONTROL is tied to VDD, RESET operates in standard active-low mode.
What is the maximum supply current of the TLC7703QPW?
The TLC7703QPW has a maximum supply current (IDD) of 16 µA at VDD = 5 V and TA = 25°C, with typical current as low as 9 µA. During the delay period (td), supply current rises to 120–150 µA due to internal timer activation-but returns to micropower levels once RESET stabilizes, enabling long-life battery operation.
Is the TLC7703QPW pin-compatible with other TLC77xx variants in the PW package?
Yes-the TLC7703QPW shares identical 8-pin TSSOP (PW) pinout and footprint with TLC7701QPW, TLC7725QPW, TLC7733QPW, and TLC7705QPW. All variants use the same VDD, GND, SENSE, RESET, RESIN, CONTROL, and two NC pins. Only the internal threshold voltage differs, allowing drop-in replacement when threshold requirements align.
