Product details
Overview
TPS3106K33DBVTG4 from Texas Instruments is an ultralow-quiescent-current voltage supervisor IC with dual reset outputs (RSTVDD and RSTSENSE), fixed 3.3V VDD threshold (2.941V typ), 0.75% trip-point accuracy, 1.2μA supply current, and –40°C to 125°C operation. It monitors main supply (VDD) and auxiliary voltage (SENSE) independently in battery-powered microcontroller systems requiring reliable power-on reset and brownout detection.
For engineers reviewing the TPS3106K33DBVTG4 datasheet, TPS3106K33DBVTG4 pinout, TPS3106K33DBVTG4 application, or TPS3106K33DBVTG4 equivalent, this page delivers verified functional specifications, validated SOT-23-6 pin mapping, confirmed dual-threshold supervision behavior, and two technically documented alternative parts for low-power embedded reset design.
Technical Context
The TPS3106K33DBVTG4 integrates two independent comparators: one monitors VDD against a factory-trimmed 2.941V threshold (±0.75%), the other monitors SENSE against a fixed 0.551V reference with 15mV hysteresis. Both outputs-RSTVDD and RSTSENSE-are active-low, open-drain, and asserted when their respective inputs fall below threshold.
It features a 130ms internal power-on reset delay after VDD exceeds threshold + hysteresis, manual reset (MR) input with 100kΩ internal pullup, and operates from 0.9V to 3.6V supply. No watchdog timer or PFI/PFO functionality is present-this is strictly a dual-sense supervisor variant within the TPS31xx family.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDD Threshold (VIT–) | 2.941V (typ), ±0.75% accuracy - ensures precise 3.3V rail supervision without external trimming |
| SENSE Threshold | 0.551V (typ), ±0.009V over –40°C to 125°C - enables accurate monitoring of auxiliary rails via resistor divider |
| Supply Current (IDD) | 1.2μA (typ) at VDD > VIT– - supports multi-year battery life in always-on IoT sensors |
| Reset Delay Time (tD) | 130ms (typ) - provides sufficient hold time for DSP/microcontroller initialization after power-up |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to 125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial control, and harsh-environment edge devices |
| Output Type | Two independent active-low open-drain outputs (RSTVDD, RSTSENSE) - allows separate reset assertion for core and I/O domains |
| MR Input Behavior | Active-low manual reset with 100kΩ internal pullup - eliminates external components for pushbutton reset implementation |
Pinout & Package
TPS3106K33DBVTG4 is housed in a 6-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package, 2.90mm × 2.80mm footprint, suitable for high-density PCB layouts and reflow assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: RSTVDD | Active-low open-drain output | Asserts when VDD < 2.941V; requires external pullup for logic-high state |
| 2: GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all internal circuitry and output sinks |
| 3: MR | Manual reset input | Pull low to force reset; internally pulled up to VDD (100kΩ); no external resistor needed |
| 4: VDD | Supply and monitored rail input | Powers device and provides primary supervision source; valid range 0.9V–3.6V |
| 5: SENSE | Auxiliary voltage input | Monitors external rail (e.g., 1.5V/1.8V core) via resistor divider; compared to 0.551V reference |
| 6: RSTSENSE | Active-low open-drain output | Asserts when SENSE < 0.551V; independent of VDD status - enables domain-specific reset control |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent reset outputs | RSTVDD and RSTSENSE provide separate, asynchronous reset signals for main supply and auxiliary rail - eliminates need for discrete comparators or logic OR-ing |
| Ultra-low 1.2μA quiescent current | Enables direct integration into energy-harvesting and coin-cell-powered systems without compromising battery lifetime |
| Factory-trimmed 3.3V VDD threshold | 2.941V ±0.75% accuracy eliminates calibration overhead and reduces BOM count versus adjustable supervisors |
| SENSE input with 0.551V reference | Supports monitoring of any rail ≥0.551V using only two external resistors - simplifies multi-rail supervision in SoC-based designs |
| 130ms power-on reset delay | Guarantees stable clock and memory initialization before processor release - meets ARM Cortex-M and MSP430 timing requirements |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervision applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3106K33DBVR | Same electrical specs and pinout; tape-and-reel packaging (3000 pcs/reel) vs. cut-tape (250 pcs/reel) of TPS3106K33DBVTG4 | Identical function - selected for high-volume automated assembly where reel feed is required | Choose TPS3106K33DBVR for production runs >5k units; TPS3106K33DBVTG4 preferred for prototyping and low-volume builds |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Higher 2.5μA supply current; push-pull RESET (not open-drain); no SENSE input - single-rail only | Lacks dual-output capability; requires external pullup if interfacing with open-drain logic; unsuitable for auxiliary rail monitoring | Use only when board space permits larger SOT-23-6 footprint and design does not require independent SENSE supervision |
Compared with TPS3106K33DBVTG4, TPS3106K33DBVR offers identical performance in volume manufacturing, while TPS3808G33DBVR trades dual-sense capability for push-pull drive strength - making it viable only for single-rail systems where SENSE functionality is unnecessary.

FAQ
What is the exact VDD threshold voltage of the TPS3106K33DBVTG4?
The TPS3106K33DBVTG4 has a factory-trimmed VDD threshold (VIT–) of 2.941V (typical), with guaranteed limits of 2.919V (min) and 2.963V (max) at 25°C, and 2.823V to 3.058V across –40°C to 125°C. This corresponds to the "K33" suffix denoting the 3.3V nominal supervision point.
Does the TPS3106K33DBVTG4 include a watchdog timer?
No, the TPS3106K33DBVTG4 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 only in the TPS3110 series. The TPS3106K33DBVTG4 is purely a dual-threshold voltage supervisor.
How do I configure the SENSE input to monitor a 1.5V rail using the TPS3106K33DBVTG4?
To monitor a 1.5V rail with the TPS3106K33DBVTG4, connect it to the SENSE pin through a resistor divider that scales 1.5V down to 0.551V. Using R1 = 820kΩ and R2 = 430kΩ yields ~0.523V at SENSE - within the 0.551V ±0.009V window. Ensure total divider current stays below 1μA to minimize loading and maintain accuracy.
Can both RSTVDD and RSTSENSE outputs drive the same microcontroller reset pin?
Yes, both RSTVDD and RSTSENSE are active-low open-drain outputs and can be wire-OR'd to a single microcontroller reset input, provided an external pullup resistor (e.g., 10kΩ to VDD) is used. This configuration asserts reset if either the 3.3V supply or the SENSE-monitored rail falls out of specification - enabling fail-safe multi-rail supervision.
What is the minimum VDD voltage required for the TPS3106K33DBVTG4 to operate correctly?
The TPS3106K33DBVTG4 requires VDD ≥ 0.8V to guarantee proper operation of the SENSE comparator and MR input functionality. While the device begins asserting RESET when VDD exceeds 0.4V, full specification compliance - including SENSE monitoring, MR response, and threshold accuracy - is ensured only above 0.8V per TI's recommended operating conditions.
