Product details
Overview
TLV840CADL40DBVR from Texas Instruments is a nano-power ultra-low-voltage supervisor IC with open-drain active-low reset output, 0.8 V detection threshold, 40 µs fixed reset time delay, and 120 nA typical supply current. It operates from 0.7 V to 6 V, features ±0.5% threshold accuracy and 5% built-in hysteresis, and is used in battery-powered microcontroller power-up sequencing and industrial voltage monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the TLV840CADL40DBVR datasheet, TLV840CADL40DBVR pinout, TLV840CADL40DBVR application, or TLV840CADL40DBVR equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-low quiescent current, precise sub-1-V threshold detection, SOT23-5 package compatibility, capacitor-free 40 µs reset timing, and open-drain output for flexible pull-up voltage translation up to 6.5 V.
Technical Context
The TLV840CADL40DBVR implements a precision bandgap-based comparator with hysteresis to monitor VDD against a factory-trimmed 0.8 V threshold (VIT−). Its internal timer asserts RESET low for exactly 40 µs (typical) after VDD rises above VIT− + VHYS, with no external capacitor required-CT pin is unused and internally disconnected in the 'A' delay variant.
This device belongs to the TLV840C family (capacitor-programmable delay), but the 'A' suffix denotes fixed 40 µs timing-confirmed by TI's naming nomenclature and electrical characteristics table. It lacks manual reset (MR) functionality (no MR pin), distinguishing it from TLV840M variants, and uses open-drain output requiring an external pull-up resistor for logic-high assertion.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 0.7 V to 6 V - supports direct monitoring of ultra-low-voltage rails (e.g., 0.9 V LDO outputs) and standard 3.3 V/5 V systems. |
| Threshold Voltage (VIT−) | 0.8 V ±0.5% (typ) - factory-set fixed value enabling reliable brownout detection at sub-1-V levels with minimal drift over temperature. |
| Reset Time Delay (tD) | 40 µs (typ), 80 µs (max) - fixed, capacitor-free delay ensures predictable power-up timing without BOM overhead or layout sensitivity. |
| Quiescent Current (IDD) | 120 nA (typ) at 2 V - enables multi-year battery life in always-on IoT sensors and wearables without compromising supervision reliability. |
| Output Type | Open-drain, active-low (RESET) - allows level-shifting via external pull-up to any voltage ≤6.5 V, independent of VDD, supporting mixed-voltage SoC interfaces. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for industrial motor drives, factory automation, and automotive under-hood auxiliary monitoring. |
| Hysteresis (VHYS) | 5% (typ) of VIT− - prevents false resets during noisy supply transients by requiring VDD to rise 40 mV above 0.8 V before deasserting RESET. |
Pinout & Package
TLV840CADL40DBVR is housed in a 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package measuring 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm, optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts in portable and industrial equipment.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RESET | Open-drain active-low output | Drives low when VDD < 0.8 V or during 40 µs delay; requires external pull-up resistor (e.g., 10–100 kΩ) to define high-level voltage and sink capability. |
| 2 - VDD | Supply input & monitored rail | Both powers the IC and serves as the voltage source under supervision; accepts 0.7–6 V with nanoamp quiescent draw. |
| 3 - GND | Ground reference | Common return path for internal comparator, timer, and output stage; must be low-impedance to ensure accurate threshold detection. |
| 4 - NC | No-connect | Internally unconnected; recommended to tie to GND for mechanical stability and EMI reduction-no electrical function. |
| 5 - CT | Capacitor time-delay input | Not functional in TLV840CADL40DBVR ('A' delay variant); left floating per datasheet-no external capacitor needed for 40 µs timing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Nano-power operation | 120 nA typical supply current enables >10-year battery life in coin-cell-powered devices without sacrificing supervision fidelity. |
| Sub-1-V threshold accuracy | ±0.5% typical tolerance at 0.8 V ensures consistent brownout response across production lots and temperature extremes. |
| Fixed 40 µs reset delay | Eliminates need for external timing capacitor, reducing BOM count, board area, and parametric variation in timing-critical power sequencing. |
| Open-drain output with 6.5 V abs max | Permits RESET signal translation to higher logic domains (e.g., 3.3 V or 5 V MCU I/O) using a single pull-up resistor, simplifying level-shifting design. |
| Built-in 5% hysteresis | Guarantees clean, bounce-free reset release by requiring VDD to recover 40 mV above trip point-critical for noisy industrial power rails. |
Applications

Use Value: Independent pull-up voltage support enables direct interface to low-voltage logic without level translators-reducing component count and latency. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3840DL25DBVR | 0.25 V threshold, 350 nA IDD, same SOT23-5 package, but requires external capacitor for programmable delay (no fixed 40 µs option) | Used where lower detection voltage is needed (e.g., 0.3 V LDO outputs); delay must be set externally, increasing BOM and layout complexity | Select when sub-0.8 V brownout detection is mandatory and timing flexibility outweighs fixed-delay simplicity |
| TLV809EC29DBVR | 2.93 V fixed threshold, 480 nA IDD, push-pull active-low output, no CT pin, 200 ms fixed delay | Targets mid-rail supervision (e.g., 3.3 V systems); higher current draw and longer delay suit less timing-critical applications | Choose for cost-sensitive 3.3 V monitoring where 200 ms reset hold time is acceptable and open-drain level shifting is unnecessary |
Compared with TPS3840DL25DBVR and TLV809EC29DBVR, TLV840CADL40DBVR uniquely delivers sub-1-V detection with nanoamp quiescent current and capacitor-free 40 µs timing-making it optimal for ultra-low-power, fast-recovery embedded systems where precision and minimal footprint are critical.

FAQ
What is the exact threshold voltage of TLV840CADL40DBVR?
The TLV840CADL40DBVR has a factory-trimmed fixed negative threshold voltage (VIT−) of 0.8 V with ±0.5% typical accuracy across –40°C to +125°C. This value is confirmed in TI's device nomenclature guide ('08' = 0.8 V) and electrical characteristics table, and does not require external resistor programming.
Does TLV840CADL40DBVR require an external capacitor for its 40 µs reset delay?
No, TLV840CADL40DBVR does not require an external capacitor. The 'A' suffix in the part number indicates fixed 40 µs delay; the CT pin is non-functional and must be left floating per datasheet guidance. This eliminates timing component variability and reduces PCB area versus capacitor-programmable variants.
Can TLV840CADL40DBVR monitor a 1.2 V rail directly?
No-TLV840CADL40DBVR's 0.8 V threshold is fixed and cannot be adjusted. To supervise a 1.2 V rail, use a resistive divider to scale the rail down to 0.8 V at VDD (e.g., 400 kΩ + 800 kΩ), ensuring divider current remains <<120 nA to avoid loading error and maintaining accuracy within ±0.5%.
What is the maximum allowable pull-up voltage on the RESET pin of TLV840CADL40DBVR?
The RESET pin of TLV840CADL40DBVR supports a maximum pull-up voltage of 6.5 V, independent of VDD. This allows interfacing with higher-voltage logic domains (e.g., 5 V MCUs) while VDD operates at 0.7–6 V-enabling flexible level translation without additional components.
Is there a manual reset (MR) input on TLV840CADL40DBVR?
No, TLV840CADL40DBVR does not include a manual reset input. Pin 4 is designated NC (no-connect), and the device belongs to the TLV840C family without MR functionality-unlike TLV840M variants. System-level reset initiation must be handled externally via VDD control or separate circuitry.
