Product details
Overview
TMP390A3DRLT from Texas Instruments is an ultra-low-power, dual-channel resistor-programmable temperature switch providing independent overtemperature (hot) and undertemperature (cold) detection with ±3.5°C accuracy across −55°C to +130°C, 0.5 µA typical quiescent current at 25°C, and open-drain outputs in a 1.60 mm × 1.20 mm SOT-563 package - used for thermal protection in DC/DC converters and wireless infrastructure RRU units.
For engineers reviewing the TMP390A3DRLT datasheet, TMP390A3DRLT pinout, TMP390A3DRLT application, or TMP390A3DRLT equivalent, this page delivers verified trip point programming ranges (SETA: 1.05–909 kΩ; SETB: 10.5–909 kΩ), hysteresis options (5°C/10°C/20°C), A3-level accuracy specification, open-drain output behavior, and trip test functionality for in-system manufacturing validation.
Technical Context
The TMP390A3DRLT implements two independent analog temperature sensing channels with resistor-programmed thresholds: Channel A (hot) supports +30°C to +124°C in 2°C steps via SETA; Channel B (cold) supports −50°C to +25°C in 5°C steps via SETB. Hysteresis is selected per channel using E96-series resistors - 5°C or 10°C for both channels, or 20°C for Channel A only when SETB is grounded.
It operates from 1.62 V to 5.5 V, consumes 0.5 µA average quiescent current, features internal power-on reset at 1.5 V, and updates outputs every 0.5 s with 0.65 ms conversion time. The device supports board-level trip testing by asserting logic high on SETA or SETB to force corresponding output low without thermal cycling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Accuracy (A3 Level) | ±3.5°C over −55°C to +130°C; ±2.0°C from 0°C to +70°C - defines maximum allowable trip error in full industrial range. |
| Quiescent Current | 0.5 µA typical at 25°C - enables multi-year battery operation in always-on thermal monitoring nodes. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.62 V to 5.5 V - supports direct interface with Li-ion, 3.3 V, and 5 V system rails without LDO. |
| Channel A Trip Range | +30°C to +124°C in 2°C increments - programmable via 1% E96 resistor (1.05–909 kΩ) on SETA pin. |
| Channel B Trip Range | −50°C to +25°C in 5°C increments - programmable via 1% E96 resistor (10.5–909 kΩ) on SETB pin. |
| Hysteresis Options | 5°C or 10°C for both channels; 20°C for Channel A only when SETB = GND - prevents output chatter near trip points. |
| Output Type | Open-drain (OUTA/OUTB) - allows flexible pull-up to VDDIO ≤ VDD + 0.3 V for MCU voltage level translation. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT-563 (6-pin), 1.60 mm × 1.20 mm body size, surface-mount, lead-free and RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - SETA | Input | Resistor-programmed hot trip point; connects to 1% E96 resistor (1.05–909 kΩ) to GND; determines Channel A threshold and hysteresis. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar temperature switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TMP392A3DRLT | Hot/Warm dual-channel configuration; no cold-trip capability; same A3 accuracy and 0.5 µA IQ. | Limited to overtemperature + intermediate threshold detection; cannot replace cold-trip requirement in ECS or battery systems. | Select TMP392A3DRLT only when dual hot thresholds (e.g., warning + shutdown) are needed instead of hot/cold pair. |
| TMP302DAIYFDR | Single-channel, fixed-threshold (−25°C) temperature switch; 0.7 µA IQ; SOT-563 package. | Lacks resistor programming, hysteresis selection, and dual-channel flexibility; requires separate devices for hot/cold. | Choose TMP302DAIYFDR only for cost-sensitive, single-threshold applications where design margin allows fixed-point detection. |
Compared with TMP390A3DRLT, TMP392A3DRLT offers identical power and accuracy but omits cold-trip functionality, while TMP302DAIYFDR trades programmability and dual-channel capability for lower unit cost and simpler layout - neither provides drop-in replacement capability.

FAQ
What is the trip temperature resolution of the TMP390A3DRLT?
The TMP390A3DRLT provides +30°C to +124°C trip points for Channel A in precise 2°C steps, and −50°C to +25°C for Channel B in 5°C steps - all determined by standard E96 1% resistor values on SETA and SETB pins. This resolution enables fine-grained thermal policy implementation without firmware or digital calibration. The TMP390A3DRLT achieves this through internal resistor ladder decoding and factory-trimmed reference circuitry.
How does hysteresis work on the TMP390A3DRLT?
Hysteresis on the TMP390A3DRLT is set by the resistor value on SETB: 5°C or 10°C applies to both channels, while grounding SETB configures 20°C hysteresis exclusively for Channel A. This prevents output toggling during slow thermal transitions near trip thresholds. The TMP390A3DRLT implements hysteresis digitally within its comparator logic - no external components required beyond the SET resistors.
Can the TMP390A3DRLT operate from a 1.8-V supply?
Yes, the TMP390A3DRLT supports supply voltages from 1.62 V to 5.5 V, making it fully compatible with 1.8-V systems. Its power-on reset activates at 1.5 V, and all specifications - including ±3.5°C accuracy and 0.5 µA quiescent current - are guaranteed across this range. The TMP390A3DRLT maintains stable operation down to 1.62 V without brownout or functional degradation.
What is the purpose of the trip test function on the TMP390A3DRLT?
The trip test function allows forcing OUTA or OUTB low by applying logic-high voltage (>0.8 × VDD) to SETA or SETB during manufacturing - verifying output connectivity and pull-up integrity without thermal cycling. This reduces test time and equipment cost. The TMP390A3DRLT returns to normal thermal monitoring immediately after test signal removal, with no impact on trip point settings.
Is the TMP390A3DRLT pin-compatible with other devices in the TMP39x family?
No - the TMP390A3DRLT shares the SOT-563 package and pinout with TMP392A3DRLT, but differs functionally: TMP392 supports Hot/Warm channels, not Hot/Cold. Pin compatibility exists only between TMP390 and TMP392 variants (e.g., TMP390A3DRLT ↔ TMP392A3DRLT), but software and resistor programming must be redesigned for functional equivalence. The TMP390A3DRLT is not pin-compatible with fixed-threshold switches like TMP302.
