Product details
Overview
TPL5111DDCR from Texas Instruments is a nano-power system timer IC designed for power gating control in ultra-low-power battery-operated systems. It delivers 35 nA typical supply current at 2.5 V, supports resistor-selectable time intervals from 100 ms to 7200 s with ±0.6% typical accuracy, and features dual operating modes (timer and one-shot) via the EN/ONE_SHOT pin. It enables duty-cycled wake-up of microcontrollers like CC2531 in wireless sensor nodes.
For engineers reviewing the TPL5111DDCR datasheet, TPL5111DDCR pinout, TPL5111DDCR application, or TPL5111DDCR equivalent, this page provides verified functional mode behavior, validated timing accuracy over voltage and temperature, confirmed SOT-23-6 package mapping, real-world power-gating implementation constraints, and direct alternative part comparisons for IoT sensor node design.
Technical Context
The TPL5111DDCR integrates a low-power oscillator, resistance-to-time converter, and digital logic control block to generate precise periodic or single-shot enable pulses on DRVn. Its DELAY/M_DRV pin performs dual function: analog measurement of external resistor (500 Ω–170 kΩ) during power-on reset to set tIP, then transitions to digital input for manual power-on triggering with 20 ms debounce.
Operation depends critically on two synchronous inputs: DONE (µC-generated rising-edge watchdog signal, min 100 ns pulse width) and EN/ONE_SHOT (hard-wired logic level determining timer vs. one-shot mode). DRVn output duration is tIP − 50 ms unless DONE is received earlier, and DRVn is active-HIGH to drive LDO/DC-DC enable pins directly.

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VDD | Power supply input | Accepts 1.8–5.5 V; powers internal oscillator and logic; must be decoupled with ≥0.1 µF ceramic capacitor |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar nano-power timer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3808G01DBVR | Reset supervisor with programmable delay (1.25 ms–10 s); no DONE handshake or one-shot mode; 1.4 µA quiescent current | Limited to fixed-delay reset assertion; cannot gate power based on µC completion signal | Choose only for simple power-on delay where µC-level watchdog coordination is unnecessary |
| MAX13050ASA+ | Ultra-low-power timer with I²C interface (300 nA); supports 10 ms–1000 s range; requires MCU firmware control | Requires active µC involvement for configuration and mode control; adds software complexity and boot-time overhead | Prefer when dynamic interval adjustment or multi-timer synchronization is required; not drop-in for TPL5111DDCR hardware-only use cases |
Compared with TPS3808G01DBVR and MAX13050ASA+, the TPL5111DDCR uniquely combines hardware-configured timing, DONE-based pulse termination, and true nano-power operation without MCU intervention-making it optimal for fully autonomous, maintenance-free sensor nodes.

FAQ
What is the minimum external resistor value supported by the TPL5111DDCR for time interval configuration?
The TPL5111DDCR requires an external resistor (REXT) between 500 Ω and 170 kΩ connected from DELAY/M_DRV to GND. At 500 Ω, the device configures to its shortest interval of 100 ms. Using resistors below 500 Ω may cause incorrect time interval reading or POR failure. The TPL5111DDCR datasheet specifies 1% tolerance as recommended for accuracy, and parallel combinations (e.g., 1.0 kΩ // 1.0 kΩ) are valid for achieving non-standard values. Always verify REXT tolerance impact using Equation 3 from the TPL5111DDCR datasheet.
Can the TPL5111DDCR operate reliably at 1.8 V supply voltage?
Yes, the TPL5111DDCR is fully specified for operation from 1.8 V to 5.5 V. At 1.8 V, its typical supply current remains 35 nA, and timing accuracy degrades only by ±25 ppm/V - resulting in <±0.1% additional error over full range. Oscillator stability is maintained at ±100 ppm/°C across –40°C to +105°C. The TPL5111DDCR's VIH/VIL thresholds scale with VDD, ensuring compatibility with 1.8 V GPIOs. This makes the TPL5111DDCR suitable for direct integration with 1.8 V microcontrollers and energy-harvesting sources.
How does the DONE signal affect the DRVn output pulse width in the TPL5111DDCR?
The DONE signal shortens the TPL5111DDCR's DRVn pulse width when received before tIP − 50 ms. Specifically, upon detecting a valid rising edge on DONE (≥100 ns, VIH = 0.7×VDD), the TPL5111DDCR immediately drives DRVn LOW. If DONE arrives later than tIP − 50 ms, DRVn stays HIGH for the full programmed interval minus 50 ms, then goes LOW for the final 50 ms before the next cycle. No DONE signal results in DRVn remaining HIGH for tIP − 50 ms, then LOW for 50 ms. This handshake prevents unnecessary power-on duration and is fundamental to the TPL5111DDCR's role in optimizing µC runtime efficiency.
Is the TPL5111DDCR pin-compatible with other members of the TPL51xx family?
No, the TPL5111DDCR is not pin-compatible with other TPL51xx variants such as TPL5010 or TPL5120. While all share the SOT-23-6 (DDC) package footprint, pin functions differ significantly: TPL5010 lacks DONE and EN/ONE_SHOT pins (uses different control scheme), and TPL5120 includes additional features like programmable timeout extension and different pin assignments. The TPL5111DDCR's pinout - VDD, GND, DELAY/M_DRV, DONE, DRVn, EN/ONE_SHOT - is unique to this part. Substituting other TPL51xx devices requires PCB layout revision and firmware adaptation.
What is the maximum capacitive load the TPL5111DDCR DRVn pin can drive?
According to the TPL5111DDCR datasheet, the DRVn pin is characterized for rise/fall times of 50 ns with a 50 pF capacitive load. Driving loads exceeding 50 pF may increase transition times, potentially causing timing violations in downstream enable circuits. For loads >50 pF (e.g., long PCB traces or high-input-capacitance LDOs), a series resistor (10–100 Ω) should be added near the DRVn pin to damp ringing and maintain clean edges. The TPL5111DDCR's VOH specification (VDD − 0.3 V @ 100 µA) confirms it can source sufficient current for typical enable inputs, but excessive capacitance risks false triggering or delayed turn-on of the powered subsystem.
