Product details
Overview
TLV803EA18DPWR from Texas Instruments is an open-drain, active-low voltage supervisor IC designed for reliable power-on reset and brownout detection in ultra-low-power systems. It features a 1.8 V ±0.5% threshold voltage, 250 nA typical supply current, 40 µs fixed reset delay, and operates across –40°C to +125°C - enabling use in battery-powered IoT sensors and industrial edge controllers.
For engineers reviewing the TLV803EA18DPWR datasheet, TLV803EA18DPWR pinout, TLV803EA18DPWR application, or TLV803EA18DPWR equivalent, key selection criteria include its X2SON-5 (DPW) package footprint, guaranteed RESET assertion down to 0.7 V VDD, ±0.5% threshold accuracy over temperature, and integrated glitch immunity against sub-10 µs transients on the supply rail.
Technical Context
The TLV803EA18DPWR implements a precision bandgap-referenced comparator with built-in hysteresis (±0.9–1.5%) to prevent chatter during slow-rising/falling VDD transitions. Its internal timer enforces a fixed 40 µs reset timeout after VDD exceeds the rising threshold (VIT+ = VIT– + VHYS), ensuring deterministic deassertion timing independent of external RC networks.
Unlike push-pull variants, the open-drain output requires an external pull-up resistor but supports wired-OR configurations and mixed-voltage system interfacing. The DPW package includes a thermal pad (Pin 3) and manual reset input (MR, Pin 2), enabling system-level reset initiation without VDD dependency.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 0.7 V to 6 V - ensures valid RESET state even during deep brownout or low-energy startup sequences. |
| Threshold Voltage (VIT–) | 1.8 V ±0.5% (typical) - enables precise monitoring of 1.8 V logic rails with minimal margin loss in safety-critical firmware initialization. |
| Reset Delay (tD) | 40 µs (variant B) - provides sufficient time for power stabilization before releasing microcontroller reset, eliminating need for external timing components. |
| Quiescent Current (IDD) | 250 nA (typical) at 3.3 V - extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes by reducing standby power by >90% vs. legacy supervisors. |
| Glitch Immunity (tGI) | 10 µs (typical) - rejects fast supply transients (e.g., switching noise, ESD coupling) without false triggering. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - supports deployment in under-hood automotive modules and factory-floor PLCs without derating. |
| Output Topology | Open-drain, active-low - allows level-shifting, multi-source reset arbitration, and compatibility with 1.2–5.5 V I/O domains via external pull-up. |
Pinout & Package
X2SON-5 (DPW) package: 0.8 mm × 0.8 mm, 0.35 mm height, thermal pad (Pin 3) recommended to be connected to GND for optimal thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD (Pin 5) | Power Input | Monitored supply rail; powers internal reference, comparator, and timer - must be bypassed with ≥0.1 µF capacitor. |
| GND (Pin 4) | Ground Reference | Analog and digital ground return; connects to PCB ground plane to minimize noise coupling into threshold detection. |
| PAD (Pin 3) | Thermal Pad | Non-electrical thermal interface; soldering improves junction-to-board thermal resistance by ~320°C/W (vs. 457°C/W unconnected). |
| MR (Pin 2) | Manual Reset Input | Active-low asynchronous reset trigger; internal 100 kΩ pull-up enables floating operation when unused. |
| RESET (Pin 1) | Open-Drain Output | Asserts low during VDD < 1.8 V or MR low; requires external pull-up (10 kΩ typical) to host voltage domain. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low IQ | 250 nA typical supply current enables >10-year battery life in coin-cell–powered devices like smart meters and wearables. |
| High Threshold Accuracy | ±0.5% typical VIT– tolerance eliminates calibration overhead in precision 1.8 V rail monitoring for FPGA configuration circuits. |
| Guaranteed Operation to 0.7 V | Valid RESET assertion down to 0.7 V VDD ensures deterministic behavior during cold-start or energy-harvesting scenarios. |
| Integrated Glitch Filter | 10 µs minimum pulse rejection prevents false resets from switching regulator ripple or transient coupling on VDD. |
| Wide Temp Range Support | Full specification from –40°C to +125°C enables single-BOM deployment across consumer, industrial, and automotive temperature grades. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV803EB18DPWR | Same 1.8 V threshold, but 10 ms reset delay (variant C) instead of 40 µs. | Suitable for systems requiring longer reset hold time - e.g., FPGAs with slower configuration clocks. | Select TLV803EB18DPWR only if extended delay is required; TLV803EA18DPWR is optimal for fast-boot MCUs. |
| MAX803SUR18+T | 1.8 V threshold, push-pull active-low output, SOT23-3 package, 140 µs delay, 1.6 µA max IQ. | Larger footprint and higher quiescent current limit use in ultra-low-power designs; no MR pin or X2SON option. | Choose MAX803SUR18+T only for legacy SOT23-3 board compatibility; TLV803EA18DPWR offers superior size, IQ, and feature set. |
Compared with TLV803EB18DPWR and MAX803SUR18+T, TLV803EA18DPWR delivers the shortest reset delay (40 µs), smallest package (X2SON-5), lowest power (250 nA), and added MR functionality - making it the preferred choice for space-constrained, battery-sensitive, and fast-boot applications.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of TLV803EA18DPWR?
The TLV803EA18DPWR has a factory-programmed falling threshold voltage (VIT–) of 1.8 V with ±0.5% typical accuracy across –40°C to +125°C. This value is laser-trimmed during production and specified in Section 7.5 of the datasheet under Electrical Characteristics.
Does TLV803EA18DPWR require an external pull-up resistor on the RESET pin?
Yes, TLV803EA18DPWR uses an open-drain active-low output and requires an external pull-up resistor (typically 4.7 kΩ to 10 kΩ) to the target logic voltage domain. Unlike push-pull variants such as TLV809E, this topology enables wired-OR reset buses and mixed-voltage interfacing.
What is the function of the MR pin on TLV803EA18DPWR?
The MR (Manual Reset) pin (Pin 2) is an active-low input that forces RESET assertion regardless of VDD level. When pulled low, it initiates a reset after propagation delay; release triggers deassertion after the 40 µs delay. An internal 100 kΩ pull-up allows MR to float when unused.
Can TLV803EA18DPWR operate reliably below 1.0 V supply voltage?
Yes - TLV803EA18DPWR guarantees valid RESET assertion down to VPOR = 0.7 V, meaning its output state remains controlled and predictable even during deep brownout or energy-harvesting startup. Below 0.7 V, the output becomes undefined per datasheet Section 7.5.
Is the thermal pad (PAD) on TLV803EA18DPWR electrically connected?
No, the thermal pad (Pin 3) on TLV803EA18DPWR is not electrically connected to any internal circuitry. It serves solely as a thermal interface and may be left unconnected or soldered to GND for improved heat dissipation - no electrical biasing is required or recommended.
