Product details
Overview
TPS3106K33DBVRG4 from Texas Instruments is an ultralow-quiescent-current voltage supervisor IC with dual open-drain reset outputs (RSTVDD and RSTSENSE), fixed 3.3V VDD threshold (2.941V typ), 0.75% trip-point accuracy, and 1.2μA typical supply current. It monitors both main supply (VDD) and auxiliary voltages (via SENSE pin) in battery-powered microcontroller systems requiring precise power-on reset and brownout detection.
For engineers reviewing the TPS3106K33DBVRG4 datasheet, TPS3106K33DBVRG4 pinout, TPS3106K33DBVRG4 application, or TPS3106K33DBVRG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-sense capability, –40°C to 125°C operating range, 130ms reset delay, and compatibility with low-voltage DSPs and portable equipment where supply current below 2μA is critical.
Technical Context
The TPS3106K33DBVRG4 implements two independent comparators: one monitoring VDD against a precision internal 2.941V threshold (±0.75%), and another comparing SENSE input to a fixed 0.551V reference. Both outputs-RSTVDD and RSTSENSE-are active-low, open-drain, and asserted when their respective inputs fall below threshold, with hysteresis of 50mV (VDD) and 15mV (SENSE).
It features a manual reset (MR) input with internal 100kΩ pullup, supports operation down to VDD = 0.4V for early reset assertion, and includes a 130ms internal power-on reset timer that begins after VDD exceeds VIT– + VHYS. No watchdog or PFI/PFO functionality is present-this is a dedicated dual-threshold supervisor without timing supervision beyond the fixed reset delay.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDD Threshold | 2.941V (typ), ±0.75% accuracy - ensures reliable 3.3V rail supervision with minimal false triggering across temperature. |
| SENSE Threshold | 0.551V (typ), ±0.039V over –40°C to 125°C - enables accurate monitoring of auxiliary rails (e.g., 1.2V, 1.5V) using external resistor dividers. |
| Supply Current | 1.2μA (typ) at VDD > VIT– - extends battery life in always-on portable devices without compromising supervision integrity. |
| Reset Delay | 130ms (typ) - provides sufficient hold time for processor initialization after power stabilization, meeting ARM/RTOS boot requirements. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to 125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive modules, industrial controllers, and high-reliability embedded systems. |
| Output Type | Two independent open-drain outputs (RSTVDD, RSTSENSE) - allows separate reset signaling for core and I/O domains with external pullups. |
| Hysteresis | 50mV on VDD, 15mV on SENSE - prevents output oscillation during slow-rising/falling supply transitions near threshold. |
Pinout & Package
TPS3106K33DBVRG4 is housed in a 6-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package, 2.90mm × 2.80mm footprint, optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts in portable electronics.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | Power supply input & primary sense node | Powers the IC and triggers RSTVDD when voltage drops below 2.941V; functional down to 0.4V for early reset assertion. |
| GND | Ground reference | Analog and digital ground return; must be low-impedance to ensure comparator accuracy and noise immunity. |
| MR | Manual reset input | Active-low input with 100kΩ internal pullup; forces both RSTVDD and RSTSENSE low when pulled to GND. |
| SENSE | Auxiliary voltage monitor input | Compares external voltage (e.g., via resistor divider) to 0.551V reference; asserts RSTSENSE if below threshold. |
| RSTVDD | Open-drain reset output (VDD domain) | Active-low signal indicating VDD undervoltage; requires external pullup to appropriate rail (e.g., 3.3V). |
| RSTSENSE | Open-drain reset output (SENSE domain) | Active-low signal indicating auxiliary rail undervoltage; independently controlled, enabling multi-rail system reset sequencing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent reset outputs | RSTVDD and RSTSENSE provide separate, asynchronous reset signals for main and auxiliary power domains-enabling clean multi-rail power sequencing without external logic. |
| Ultralow 1.2μA supply current | Reduces standby power in battery-critical applications (e.g., IoT sensors, wearables) by >90% versus standard supervisors, extending operational lifetime. |
| 0.75% VDD threshold accuracy | Guarantees precise 3.3V rail supervision across temperature and process variation-eliminates need for external calibration or margining. |
| 130ms factory-trimmed reset delay | Ensures deterministic, jitter-free reset timing for ARM Cortex-M and RISC-V processors without requiring external RC networks or firmware delays. |
| SENSE input with 0.551V reference | Supports monitoring of any rail ≥0.551V (e.g., 1.2V, 1.5V, 1.8V) using two 1% resistors-no additional reference IC or ADC required. |
Applications
| Microcontroller Power Sequencing | Battery Voltage Monitoring |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: A dual-rail system powers an MCU core (1.2V) and I/O (3.3V); both rails must stabilize before boot. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TPS3106K33DBVRG4 monitors VDD (3.3V) and SENSE (1.2V via divider), asserting RSTVDD and RSTSENSE independently until both rails exceed thresholds. Use Value: Prevents MCU lockup due to premature release of reset on either rail-ensures deterministic boot across temperature and load conditions. | Use Scenario: A handheld medical device uses two NiMH cells (2.4V nominal); system shuts down at 2.0V to preserve battery health. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: SENSE pin monitors battery voltage via 1.9× resistor divider; RSTSENSE triggers shutdown when voltage falls below 2.0V (mapped to 0.551V at SENSE). Use Value: Achieves <2μA total quiescent current during shutdown-extending shelf life and runtime without sacrificing voltage accuracy. |
| Industrial Sensor Node Reset | Low-Power DSP Supervision |
Use Scenario: An IP67-rated environmental sensor operates in remote locations with intermittent solar charging; brownout resilience is critical. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TPS3106K33DBVRG4 supervises the 3.3V LDO output (VDD) and backup supercap voltage (SENSE), providing independent reset flags for fault logging. Use Value: Dual outputs enable firmware to distinguish between main rail collapse and backup failure-supporting predictive maintenance and graceful degradation. | Use Scenario: A voice-activated edge AI module uses a low-power DSP with strict 3.3V supply tolerance; transient dips must not cause silent corruption. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: RSTVDD asserts within 40μs of VDD dropping below 2.941V, holding DSP in reset until stable-preventing instruction fetch errors. Use Value: 50mV hysteresis eliminates chatter during marginal supply conditions, while 1.2μA current avoids loading the weak LDO during sleep modes. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3106K33DBVT | Same electrical specs and pinout; tape-and-reel packaging (250-unit reel vs. 3000-unit reel for DBVRG4) | No functional difference; suited for prototyping or low-volume production where smaller reels reduce inventory cost | Select DBVT for evaluation or pilot runs; DBVRG4 for high-volume manufacturing with automated placement. |
| TLV809E33DBVR | Single-output (RESET only), no SENSE input; 1.8μA supply current; same 3.3V threshold and 140ms delay | Lacks dual-monitoring capability-cannot supervise auxiliary rails; higher quiescent current reduces battery life in ultra-low-power designs | Choose TLV809E33DBVR only when only VDD supervision is needed and board space allows trade-off of feature set for cost. |
Compared with TPS3106K33DBVRG4, the DBVT variant offers identical performance in smaller packaging for flexibility, while TLV809E33DBVR sacrifices SENSE functionality and adds 0.6μA supply current-making it unsuitable for dual-rail or sub-2μA battery systems.

FAQ
What is the exact VDD threshold voltage of the TPS3106K33DBVRG4?
The TPS3106K33DBVRG4 has a nominal VDD threshold of 2.941V at 25°C, with a guaranteed range of 2.919V to 2.963V (±0.75%). Over –40°C to 125°C, the threshold varies from 2.823V to 3.058V, maintaining tight accuracy for 3.3V rail supervision without external trimming.
Does the TPS3106K33DBVRG4 include a watchdog timer?
No, the TPS3106K33DBVRG4 does not include a watchdog timer. It belongs to the TPS3106 subfamily, which provides dual open-drain reset outputs (RSTVDD and RSTSENSE) but omits the WDI input and watchdog logic found in the TPS3110 series. The TPS3106K33DBVRG4 is strictly a voltage supervisor with manual reset and dual-sense capability.
Can the TPS3106K33DBVRG4 monitor a 1.2V rail using the SENSE pin?
Yes, the TPS3106K33DBVRG4 can monitor a 1.2V rail using the SENSE pin by connecting it through a precision resistor divider. With a fixed 0.551V internal reference at SENSE, a 1.2V rail maps to a divider ratio of ~2.18:1 (e.g., R1 = 1.18MΩ, R2 = 540kΩ, 1% tolerance). The device asserts RSTSENSE when the divided voltage falls below 0.551V.
What is the reset delay time of the TPS3106K33DBVRG4 and how is it triggered?
The TPS3106K33DBVRG4 has a fixed 130ms (typ) reset delay time. This delay begins only after VDD rises above the threshold voltage plus hysteresis (VIT– + VHYS ≈ 2.991V), ensuring the supply is fully stabilized before releasing reset. The timer is internal, factory-trimmed, and requires no external components.
Is the TPS3106K33DBVRG4 pin-compatible with other TPS3106 variants like TPS3106E15DBVR?
Yes, all TPS3106x variants-including TPS3106K33DBVRG4 and TPS3106E15DBVR-share identical 6-pin SOT-23 (DBV) packaging and pinout. The only differences are the VDD threshold voltage (3.3V vs. 1.5V) and corresponding part number suffix; electrical behavior, timing, and interface remain fully compatible across the family.
