Product details
Overview
TLV853MDBZT from Texas Instruments is a 3-pin voltage supervisor IC with active-low, open-drain RESET output, precision 4.38 V threshold voltage (VIT–), 200 ms fixed power-on reset delay, 9 µA typical supply current, and operation across –40°C to +125°C - used for reliable power-up initialization in microcontroller-based systems.
For engineers reviewing the TLV853MDBZT datasheet, TLV853MDBZT pinout, TLV853MDBZT application, or TLV853MDBZT equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, SOT-23 package mapping, exact threshold and timing specs, real-world use cases in industrial and battery-powered equipment, and validated alternative options for design continuity.
Technical Context
The TLV853MDBZT implements a precision bandgap reference and internal timer to assert RESET when VDD falls below 4.38 V (±0.10 V) and hold it low for 120–280 ms after VDD recovers above threshold. Its open-drain output supports level shifting up to 6 V and wired-OR configuration with other supervisors.
It operates from 1.1 V to 6 V supply, enters high-impedance state below 1.1 V, rejects fast transients via built-in timing immunity (tw = 10 µs), and features 30–60 mV hysteresis depending on variant - all in a 2.92 mm × 1.30 mm SOT-23 package rated for automotive-grade temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.1 V to 6 V - enables use with low-voltage logic rails and compatibility with 3.3 V/5 V systems. |
| Threshold Voltage (VIT–) | 4.38 V (min 4.28 V, max 4.48 V) - precisely monitors 5 V supply rails with ±2.3% tolerance at full temperature range. |
| Reset Delay Time (td) | 200 ms typical (120–280 ms) - ensures stable processor boot by holding RESET long enough for power stabilization and clock lock. |
| Supply Current (IDD) | 9 µA typical at 2 V - minimizes quiescent load in always-on battery-backed monitoring circuits. |
| Output Type | Open-drain RESET - allows flexible pull-up to any logic rail ≤6 V and supports wired-OR fault aggregation. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, factory automation, and industrial embedded environments. |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | ±2000 V - meets standard industrial handling requirements without additional protection circuitry. |
Pinout & Package
TLV853MDBZT uses a 3-pin SOT-23 (DBZ) package measuring 2.92 mm × 1.30 mm, optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts and reflow-compatible assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | Power input | Supplies internal reference and logic; must be decoupled with 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
| GND | Ground reference | Return path for internal circuitry; connects directly to system ground plane for noise immunity. |
| RESET | Open-drain output | Active-low reset signal; requires external 10 kΩ–1 MΩ pullup resistor; voltage level may exceed VDD (up to 6 V). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 200 ms reset delay | Guarantees sufficient system reset duration independent of external RC components - eliminates timing drift and layout sensitivity. |
| 4.38 V precision threshold | Matches standard 5 V supply rails with tight ±0.10 V tolerance over full temperature range - avoids false resets during thermal cycling. |
| 9 µA typical supply current | Enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered backup supervision without measurable battery drain. |
| Open-drain RESET with 6 V tolerance | Supports level-shifting to higher-voltage logic domains and simplifies multi-rail reset arbitration via wired-OR topology. |
| Transient immunity (tw = 10 µs) | Rejects short-duration supply glitches (e.g., switching noise, ESD-induced dips) that would otherwise trigger spurious resets. |
Applications
| Factory Automation | Portable Equipment |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: PLC I/O modules powered from 5 V rails in harsh industrial environments with voltage sags and EMI. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Voltage supervisor ensuring deterministic MCU reset upon brownout, with immunity to motor-drive–induced transients. Use Value: Prevents firmware corruption during line disturbances by asserting RESET only when VDD drops below 4.38 V for >10 µs and holding it for ≥120 ms. |
Use Scenario: Battery-powered handheld test instruments requiring ultra-low-power supervision during sleep mode. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-quiescent-current supervisor monitoring regulated 5 V supply derived from Li-ion battery. Use Value: Draws just 9 µA continuously - extends shelf life and operational runtime without compromising reset reliability. |
| Servers | Electricity Meters |
Use Scenario: Redundant 5 V power supplies in rack-mounted servers where multiple rails must be coordinated for safe boot. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: One of several TLV853MDBZT devices wired-OR'd onto shared RESET bus to detect any rail failure. Use Value: Open-drain output enables direct connection of multiple supervisors without logic conflicts - no additional gate logic required. |
Use Scenario: Revenue-grade smart meters operating unattended for 15+ years in outdoor enclosures with wide ambient temperature swings. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary reset generator for metering SoC, qualified for –40°C to +125°C junction temperature. Use Value: Maintains precise 4.38 V threshold stability across temperature (±0.1% typical drift) - ensures consistent reset behavior over product lifetime. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV803MDBZT | Same 4.38 V threshold and 200 ms delay, but standard TLV803 pinout (VDD–GND–RESET vs TLV853's VDD–RESET–GND) | Requires PCB layout change due to different pin assignment; identical electrical behavior | Select when redesigning legacy TLV803-based boards or when pinout compatibility with existing footprint is needed. |
| TLV803E | Pin-to-pin compatible with TLV803/TLV853/TLV863 families; same 4.38 V threshold; improved VOL spec (0.3 V @ 500 µA) | No layout change required; newer revision with enhanced output drive and extended qualification | Preferred for new designs requiring guaranteed long-term availability and tighter VOL performance in high-noise systems. |
Compared with TLV853MDBZT, TLV803MDBZT demands board revision for pinout alignment, while TLV803E offers drop-in replacement with better low-level output voltage - making it optimal for noise-sensitive applications where RESET line integrity is critical.

FAQ
What is the exact threshold voltage of the TLV853MDBZT?
The TLV853MDBZT has a nominal negative-going input threshold voltage (VIT–) of 4.38 V, with a guaranteed range of 4.28 V to 4.48 V over the full –40°C to +125°C operating temperature range. This value is factory-trimmed and does not require external calibration - it is specified in Section 7.5 of the official SBVS157E datasheet.
Does the TLV853MDBZT support wired-OR reset configurations?
Yes, the TLV853MDBZT supports wired-OR reset configurations because its RESET pin is an open-drain output. Multiple TLV853MDBZT devices can share a single pullup resistor on a common RESET bus, enabling logical OR behavior - if any monitored supply fails, the combined RESET line asserts low. This is confirmed in Section 9.1.1 of the datasheet.
What is the minimum supply voltage required for TLV853MDBZT to generate a valid reset signal?
The TLV853MDBZT begins generating a valid reset signal when VDD exceeds 1.1 V - this is the power-up reset voltage. Below 1.1 V, the RESET output enters high-impedance state. This specification is explicitly defined in Section 7.5 (Electrical Characteristics) and Figure 7-1 (Timing Diagram) of the TLV853MDBZT datasheet.
Can the TLV853MDBZT RESET pin be pulled up to a voltage higher than VDD?
Yes, the TLV853MDBZT RESET pin supports level shifting: it can be pulled up to voltages up to 6 V, even when VDD is lower (e.g., 3.3 V). This allows interfacing with higher-voltage logic domains and is documented in Section 9.1.2 (Output Level Shifting) and Absolute Maximum Ratings (Section 7.1) of the datasheet.
Is the TLV853MDBZT pin-compatible with MAX803?
Yes, the TLV853MDBZT is pin-for-pin compatible with the MAX803, as stated in the "Features" section of the datasheet. Both use the same 3-pin SOT-23 (DBZ) package and identical pin assignments (VDD–RESET–GND), enabling direct substitution in legacy designs without PCB modification.
