Product details
Overview
TLV863MDBZT from Texas Instruments is a 3-pin voltage supervisor IC with active-low, open-drain RESET output, designed for power-on reset supervision in processor-based systems. It features a fixed 4.38 V threshold voltage (VIT–), 200 ms reset delay time (td), 9 µA typical supply current, and operates across –40°C to +125°C - used in factory automation and electricity metering where reliable brownout detection is critical.
For engineers reviewing the TLV863MDBZT datasheet, TLV863MDBZT pinout, TLV863MDBZT application, or TLV863MDBZT equivalent, key selection factors include its precise 4.38 V monitoring threshold, SOT-23 (DBZ) 3-pin package compatibility, open-drain output flexibility for level shifting and wired-OR reset bus implementation, and guaranteed operation over extended industrial temperature range.
Technical Context
The TLV863MDBZT implements a precision bandgap reference and internal timer to generate a clean, glitch-free active-low RESET signal during power-up and brownout events. Its negative-going input threshold (VIT– = 4.38 V) is fixed via internal resistor divider, with 60 mV hysteresis (Vhys) to prevent chatter near threshold.
It asserts RESET when VDD falls below 4.38 V and holds it low for ≥120 ms (typ. 200 ms, max 280 ms) after VDD rises above threshold. The device enters high-impedance state below 1.1 V VDD, enabling safe power-down behavior and compatibility with bidirectional microcontroller reset pins.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Threshold Voltage (VIT–) | 4.38 V - precisely monitors 5 V rail for undervoltage; triggers reset if supply drops below this value |
| Reset Delay Time (td) | 200 ms (typical) - ensures stable system initialization by holding RESET low long enough for processors and peripherals to fully reset |
| Supply Current (IDD) | 9 µA (typical at 2 V) - enables ultra-low-power operation in battery-backed or energy-constrained applications |
| Output Type | Open-drain RESET - supports wired-OR configuration, level shifting up to 6 V, and external pull-up to any logic rail |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for harsh industrial environments including building automation and smart meters |
| Package | SOT-23 (DBZ), 3-pin - compact 2.92 mm × 1.30 mm footprint ideal for space-constrained PCBs |
| Power-Up Validity | RESET valid above 1.1 V VDD - guarantees early assertion during ramp-up and graceful release on shutdown |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 (DBZ) 3-pin package: 2.92 mm × 1.30 mm body size, surface-mount, RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level 1 (260°C peak reflow).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | Supply input | Accepts 1.1 V to 6 V; requires 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling capacitor placed adjacent to pin |
| GND | Ground reference | System ground return path; must be low-impedance connection for accurate threshold sensing |
| RESET | Open-drain output | Active-low reset signal; requires external 10 kΩ–1 MΩ pull-up resistor; voltage not limited by VDD (supports level shift) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 4.38 V threshold | Accurately supervises 5 V rails without external components; eliminates need for resistor-divider calibration |
| 200 ms reset delay | Guarantees sufficient hold time for full system reset - meets requirements of DSPs, FPGAs, and ASICs |
| 9 µA supply current | Minimizes quiescent load on backup supplies and extends battery life in portable equipment |
| Open-drain RESET output | Enables multi-supervisor wired-OR reset buses and flexible logic-level interfacing (e.g., 3.3 V MCU monitoring 5 V rail) |
| –40°C to +125°C operation | Validated for use in uncontrolled ambient environments such as electricity meters and factory floor controllers |
Applications
| Factory Automation | Electricity Meters |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: PLC I/O modules and motor drive controllers require deterministic reset during line voltage sags or grid disturbances. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TLV863MDBZT acts as primary brownout detector, asserting RESET to halt unsafe actuation and initiate controlled recovery sequence. Use Value: 4.38 V threshold matches nominal 5 V auxiliary supply; 200 ms delay prevents nuisance resets from transient dips <100 ms. | Use Scenario: Smart electricity meters operate continuously on AC-derived 5 V rails subject to utility-side fluctuations and lightning-induced transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TLV863MDBZT provides fail-safe power-on initialization and brownout protection for metrology SoC and secure bootloader execution. Use Value: 125°C rating ensures reliability inside sealed, thermally isolated meter enclosures; open-drain output interfaces directly to 3.3 V secure element reset pin. |
| Building Automation | Portable Equipment |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV803MDBZT | Different pinout (VDD/GND/RESET vs. TLV863's VDD/RESET/GND); identical 4.38 V threshold and 200 ms delay | Requires PCB layout change; same functional behavior and thermal specs | Select TLV803MDBZT only if legacy board uses TLV803 pin assignment |

FAQ
What is the exact threshold voltage of the TLV863MDBZT?
The TLV863MDBZT has a fixed negative-going input threshold voltage (VIT–) of 4.38 V, with ±0.10 V tolerance over temperature. This value is factory-trimmed and specified in the Electrical Characteristics table of the official TI datasheet SBVS157E. It is designed to supervise nominal 5 V power rails and remains stable across the full –40°C to +125°C operating range.
Does the TLV863MDBZT support level shifting on its RESET output?
Yes, the TLV863MDBZT features an open-drain RESET output that supports level shifting. Its RESET pin can be pulled up to any voltage between 1.8 V and 6 V - independent of VDD. This allows the TLV863MDBZT to monitor a 5 V rail while driving a 3.3 V or 1.8 V microcontroller reset input using a single external pull-up resistor.
What is the recommended pull-up resistor value for the TLV863MDBZT RESET pin?
Texas Instruments recommends a pull-up resistor between 10 kΩ and 1 MΩ on the TLV863MDBZT RESET pin. A 10 kΩ resistor ensures fast rise time and strong drive into capacitive loads, while a 100 kΩ–470 kΩ value balances speed, power, and noise immunity. The choice depends on bus capacitance and required rise time - values outside this range may compromise timing or increase susceptibility to noise.
Is the TLV863MDBZT pin-compatible with the MAX803?
Yes, the TLV863MDBZT is explicitly stated in TI documentation as pin-for-pin compatible with the MAX803 series. However, note that TLV863MDBZT uses the VDD/RESET/GND pinout (pin 1 = VDD, pin 2 = RESET, pin 3 = GND), whereas standard MAX803 variants use VDD/GND/RESET. Always verify pin mapping against the specific MAX803 variant and consult TI's Device Comparison table before substitution.
How does the TLV863MDBZT behave during power-up below 1.1 V?
Below 1.1 V VDD, the TLV863MDBZT output stage is disabled and the RESET pin enters a high-impedance state. In this condition, the external pull-up resistor determines the logic level on RESET - typically pulling it high. This behavior prevents undefined states during initial power ramp and ensures safe, predictable startup sequencing for downstream logic.
