Product details
Overview
TLC7705QPW from Texas Instruments is a micropower supply voltage supervisor IC with fixed 4.55 V sense threshold, operating from 2 V to 6 V supply, delivering 16 µA max supply current, –40°C to 125°C temperature range, and programmable reset delay via external capacitor - used for reliable power-on and undervoltage reset in industrial microcontroller systems.
For engineers reviewing the TLC7705QPW datasheet, TLC7705QPW pinout, TLC7705QPW application, or TLC7705QPW equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, TSSOP-8 package details, functional block context, real-world use cases in medical imaging and battery-backed memory, and validated alternative options for design continuity.
Technical Context
The TLC7705QPW integrates a precision temperature-compensated voltage reference, internal power-on reset generator, and automatic undervoltage detection circuitry that asserts RESET when SENSE falls below 4.55 V (with 70 mV hysteresis) and holds it active for a user-defined delay (td = 2.1 × 10⁴ × CT).
It supports dual-output reset signaling (active-high RESET and active-low RESET), includes CONTROL input for static RAM power-down coordination during brownout, and guarantees defined output states down to VDD ≥ 1 V - enabling robust system initialization and data retention control in harsh environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2 V to 6 V - supports wide-input industrial and automotive auxiliary rails without external regulation. |
| Sense Threshold Voltage | 4.55 V (typ), ±2% over temp - precisely monitors 4.5 V nominal supplies with built-in hysteresis to prevent chatter. |
| Supply Current | 16 µA max - enables multi-year operation on coin-cell or energy-harvested sources in always-on monitoring systems. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to 125°C - qualified for under-hood, motor control, and industrial PLC applications requiring extended thermal margin. |
| Reset Delay Time | Programmable via external CT (td = 2.1 × 10⁴ × CT); e.g., 100 nF yields ~2.1 ms - ensures sufficient CPU boot time before release. |
| Output Drive | ±2 mA at VOL ≤ 0.5 V / VOH ≥ 3.7 V @ VDD = 4.5 V - directly interfaces with standard CMOS logic and microcontroller reset inputs. |
| Power-Up Reset Voltage | 1 V - guarantees early assertion of RESET during slow-ramp power-up, preventing metastability in digital logic. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-8 (PW) package: 3.0 mm × 4.4 mm body, 0.65 mm pitch, 1.2 mm max height, RoHS-compliant NIPDAU lead finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND | Ground reference | Return path for all internal circuits and output drivers; must be low-impedance to ensure noise immunity and accurate threshold sensing. |
| VDD | Positive supply input | Primary power rail (2–6 V); powers internal reference, comparator, timer, and outputs; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic bypass. |
| SENSE | Voltage monitor input | Connects to monitored rail (e.g., microcontroller core voltage); triggers reset when falling below 4.55 V threshold. |
| CONTROL | RAM power-down enable | When pulled low, configures RESET as active-high for chip-select control of battery-backed SRAM during power loss. |
| RESIN | Manual reset input | Active-low asynchronous reset override; pulls RESET low when asserted, independent of SENSE voltage or delay timing. |
| RESET | Active-high reset output | Drives microcontroller / processor reset pin high during fault condition; remains asserted until delay expires post-recovery. |
| RESET | Active-low reset output | Complementary inverted signal to RESET; used for legacy logic families or dual-signaling reset architectures. |
| NC | No connect | Pin 1 is unconnected - no internal bond; must remain floating or grounded per layout guidelines to avoid parasitic coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable reset delay | External capacitor sets precise td (1.1–4.2 ms typical with 100 nF), eliminating need for discrete RC networks or firmware timers. |
| Defined reset at low VDD | Guaranteed RESET assertion down to VDD = 1 V ensures reliable startup even with weak or sagging supplies. |
| Static RAM power-down support | CONTROL input enables automatic disabling of SRAM chip select during brownout, preserving data integrity with battery backup. |
| Temperature-compensated reference | Internal bandgap reference maintains ±2% threshold accuracy across –40°C to 125°C, critical for field-deployed equipment. |
| Low quiescent current | 16 µA max IDD allows integration into ultra-low-power IoT edge nodes and battery-powered diagnostics without compromising runtime. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLC7705IPWR | Same electrical specs and 4.55 V threshold, but in PDIP-8 package with wider 0.3" lead spacing and higher thermal resistance (520 mW @ 25°C vs. 525 mW for PW). | Preferred for through-hole prototyping or legacy board rework; not suitable for space-constrained surface-mount designs. | Select TLC7705IPWR only when manual assembly, socketing, or thermal derating above 85°C is required. |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Fixed 3.3 V threshold, 350 nA quiescent current, 200 ms factory-fixed delay, and push-pull output - lacks dual RESET/RESET and CONTROL pin functionality. | Targets ultra-low-power always-on sensors; cannot replace TLC7705QPW in RAM power-down or dual-output configurations. | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR only for new designs prioritizing nanoamp operation and single-threshold monitoring without memory control. |
Compared with TLC7705IPWR and TPS3808G33DBVR, the TLC7705QPW uniquely combines TSSOP-8 compactness, dual complementary reset outputs, and dedicated CONTROL pin for battery-backed SRAM - making it irreplaceable in space-limited industrial controllers requiring coordinated power-down logic.

FAQ
What is the exact sense threshold voltage of the TLC7705QPW?
The TLC7705QPW has a fixed negative-going input threshold voltage (VIT–) of 4.55 V (typical), with guaranteed min/max of 4.47 V and 4.63 V over full temperature and supply range. This value is factory-trimmed and does not require external resistor programming, unlike the TLC7701 variant.
Does the TLC7705QPW support both active-high and active-low reset outputs simultaneously?
Yes, the TLC7705QPW provides two complementary reset outputs: RESET (active-high) and RESET (active-low). Both are driven concurrently from the same internal timing and sensing circuitry, enabling direct interface with mixed-logic systems without external inverters.
How is the reset delay time set on the TLC7705QPW?
The reset delay time (td) on the TLC7705QPW is set externally using a capacitor CT connected between the CT pin and GND. The relationship is td = 2.1 × 10⁴ × CT (seconds), so a 100 nF capacitor yields approximately 2.1 ms delay - confirmed in datasheet Figure 7 and Table 1.
Can the TLC7705QPW operate reliably at 2 V supply voltage?
Yes, the TLC7705QPW is fully specified from 2 V to 6 V. At VDD = 2 V, it maintains 1.8 V high-level output voltage (VOH), 0.2 V low-level output voltage (VOL), and continues to assert RESET down to VDD ≥ 1 V - ensuring functional reset generation even during deep brownout conditions.
What is the function of the CONTROL pin on the TLC7705QPW?
The CONTROL pin on the TLC7705QPW enables power-down coordination for static RAM with battery backup. When CONTROL is tied low, RESET becomes active-high and can directly drive the SRAM chip-select line, automatically disabling memory access during power failure - as detailed in Figure 10 of the SLVS087M datasheet.
