Product details
Overview
TLV840CADL29DBVR from Texas Instruments is a nano-power voltage supervisor IC with open-drain active-low reset output, 2.9 V detection threshold, capacitor-programmable reset delay, and 120 nA typical supply current. It monitors VDD in ultra-low-power systems such as battery-backed microcontrollers, industrial sensors, and smart meters-asserting RESET when VDD drops below 2.9 V and holding it low for a user-defined delay after recovery.
For engineers reviewing the TLV840CADL29DBVR datasheet, TLV840CADL29DBVR pinout, TLV840CADL29DBVR application, or TLV840CADL29DBVR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 0.7–6 V operating range, ±0.5% threshold accuracy, 40 µs minimum delay (CT floating), –40°C to +125°C operation, and SOT-23-5 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The TLV840CADL29DBVR implements a precision bandgap-based comparator with built-in 5% hysteresis (VHYS) and glitch immunity against VDD transients ≥10 µs. Its CT pin enables programmable reset delay via external capacitor (e.g., 0.047 µF yields ~29 ms), while the MR pin is not present-confirming this variant is TLV840C (capacitor-delay only, no manual reset).
It operates across full industrial temperature range with VPOR = 700 mV, ensuring defined reset behavior during power-up. The open-drain RESET output requires an external pull-up resistor and supports rail-to-rail voltage translation up to 6.5 V independent of VDD, enabling flexible interface with diverse logic families.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 0.7 V to 6 V - supports direct monitoring of sub-1V rails (e.g., 0.9V LDO outputs) and standard 3.3V/5V supplies |
| Detection Threshold (VIT−) | 2.9 V ±0.5% (typical) - factory-trimmed fixed threshold enabling precise brownout detection without external resistors |
| Quiescent Current (IDD) | 120 nA (typical at 25°C) - enables multi-year battery life in always-on IoT endpoints and energy-harvesting systems |
| Reset Delay (tD) | Capacitor-programmable (CT pin); 40 µs min (CT floating) - allows fine-grained timing control for power sequencing or firmware initialization windows |
| Output Type | Open-drain, active-low (RESET) - permits wired-OR configuration, level-shifting, and compatibility with 1.8V/3.3V/5V host logic |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for harsh environments including motor drives, grid infrastructure, and automotive under-hood modules |
| Hysteresis (VHYS) | 5% (typical) - prevents chatter during slow-ramping or noisy supply conditions by requiring VDD to rise to 3.045 V before deasserting RESET |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT-23-5 (DBV), 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm body size, surface-mount, RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RESET | Open-drain active-low output | Drives low when VDD < 2.9 V or during delay period; requires external pull-up; supports voltage translation up to 6.5 V |
| 2 - VDD | Power input and monitored rail | Supplies internal circuitry and serves as the voltage being supervised; operates down to 0.7 V |
| 3 - GND | Ground reference | Common return path for VDD and internal comparator; must be low-impedance for accurate threshold tracking |
| 4 - NC | No-connect | Internally unconnected; recommended to tie to GND for mechanical stability and EMI reduction |
| 5 - CT | Capacitor time-delay input | Connects to external capacitor (0–10 µF) to set reset delay; floating = 40 µs typical; no MR pin present |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3840DL29DBVR | Higher 350 nA IDD, same 2.9 V threshold, fixed 200 ms delay (no CT pin), SOT-23-5 | Not suitable where adjustable delay is required; better for cost-sensitive designs needing only fixed timing | Select if delay flexibility is unnecessary and lower BOM cost outweighs 3× higher current draw |
| MAX6375XR29+T | 2.5 µA IDD, 2.93 V threshold, 140 ms fixed delay, SC70-5 package | SC70-5 footprint incompatible with SOT-23-5 layout; higher current limits use in multi-year battery apps | Choose only if existing SC70 footprint exists and 2.5 µA is acceptable; not drop-in compatible |

FAQ
What is the exact detection threshold voltage of the TLV840CADL29DBVR?
The TLV840CADL29DBVR has a factory-trimmed negative-going input threshold (VIT−) of 2.9 V with ±0.5% typical accuracy across temperature. This value is fixed and non-adjustable-confirmed by the "29" in the part number per TI's naming convention (0.8 V to 5.4 V in 100 mV steps). The TLV840CADL29DBVR does not require external resistors to set this threshold.
Does the TLV840CADL29DBVR include a manual reset (MR) pin?
No, the TLV840CADL29DBVR does not include a manual reset (MR) pin. Its part number begins with "TLV840C", indicating capacitor-programmable delay only (CT pin present) and no MR functionality. Pin 4 is NC (no-connect), and the functional pinout is RESET/VDD/GND/NC/CT-verified in TI's official datasheet Figure 6-1 and Pin Functions table.
How is the reset time delay programmed on the TLV840CADL29DBVR?
The reset time delay (tD) on the TLV840CADL29DBVR is programmed by connecting an external capacitor between the CT pin (Pin 5) and GND. With CT floating, tD is 40 µs typical. Using Equation tD ≈ 618937 × CCT + 80 µs (CCT in µF), a 0.047 µF capacitor yields ~29 ms delay. Capacitors up to 10 µF are supported, enabling delays from microseconds to >6 seconds.
What is the maximum supply voltage the TLV840CADL29DBVR can monitor?
The TLV840CADL29DBVR can monitor supply voltages up to 6 V, as specified in its Recommended Operating Conditions (0.7 V ≤ VDD ≤ 6 V) and Absolute Maximum Ratings (VDD ≤ 6.5 V). Its 2.9 V threshold makes it ideal for supervising 3.3 V rails, but it remains fully functional when VDD = 6 V-enabling use in wide-input industrial power supplies.
Is the TLV840CADL29DBVR compatible with 1.8 V logic systems?
Yes, the TLV840CADL29DBVR is compatible with 1.8 V logic systems via its open-drain RESET output. When used with a 1.8 V pull-up resistor, RESET asserts to <300 mV (VOL) and releases to 1.8 V-meeting standard LVCMOS input thresholds. Its VDD can be as low as 0.7 V, allowing operation even when monitoring sub-1V rails while interfacing to higher-voltage logic.
