Product details
Overview
TPS3126E12DBVR from Texas Instruments is a 1.2V ultra-low-voltage supervisor IC with active-high push-pull RESET output, manual reset (MR) input, and no watchdog timer. It monitors supply rails down to 0.9V, asserts RESET when VDD falls below 1.10–1.18V, provides 180ms fixed reset delay, draws 14μA typical supply current, and operates across –40°C to +85°C for embedded processor power sequencing in battery-powered systems.
For engineers reviewing the TPS3126E12DBVR datasheet, TPS3126E12DBVR pinout, TPS3126E12DBVR application, or TPS3126E12DBVR equivalent, key selection criteria include its E12 threshold variant (1.14V nominal), MR-enabled reset control, absence of WDI, active-high output topology, and SOT-23-5 package compatibility with space-constrained DSP and microcontroller designs.
Technical Context
The TPS3126E12DBVR implements a fixed-threshold voltage monitor with internal hysteresis (20mV for 1.14V VIT−) and a precise 180ms power-on reset delay. Its active-high RESET output remains asserted until VDD rises above VIT+ = VIT− + VHYS, then holds for td before deasserting - ensuring reliable processor initialization.
This device belongs to the TPS312x family variant with manual reset (MR) support and push-pull output, distinguishing it from TPS3123/3124/3128 (watchdog-enabled) and TPS3124/3125 (no MR). It lacks WDI functionality and uses a dedicated MR pin to force RESET independently of VDD monitoring.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 1.10–1.18 V (E12 variant); ensures reliable detection of 1.2V rail collapse with ±40mV tolerance over temperature |
| Reset Delay | 100–260 ms (nominal 180 ms); guarantees sufficient hold time for full processor boot sequence |
| Supply Voltage Range | 0.9–3.3 V; supports operation during brown-out and ultra-low-power states |
| Supply Current | 14 μA typical at 0.9V; enables multi-year battery life in always-on portable equipment |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C; validated for industrial and automotive cabin environments |
| Output Type | Active-high push-pull; drives logic-high RESET directly without external pull-up, reducing BOM count |
| Hysteresis | 20 mV (at 1.14V threshold); prevents oscillation during slow-rising/falling supply transitions |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 package (2.90 mm × 1.60 mm body, 0.95 mm height), surface-mount, RoHS-compliant, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RESET | Active-high push-pull output | Drives high during fault; asserts system reset without external components; compatible with CMOS input thresholds |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Return path for internal circuitry and RESET output; must be connected to low-impedance system ground plane |
| 3 - MR | Manual reset input | Logic-low assertion forces immediate RESET activation regardless of VDD level or timing state |
| 4 - NC | No connect | Internally unconnected; must remain floating or tied to GND per design guidelines |
| 5 - VDD | Supply input | Power source for internal comparator and timer; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling capacitor |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 1.2V rail supervision | Fixed E12 threshold (1.14V nominal) eliminates need for external resistor divider, saving PCB area and calibration effort |
| Manual reset input (MR) | Enables hardware-triggered system recovery from software lockup or user-initiated reboot without power cycle |
| 180ms fixed reset delay | Guarantees stable power delivery before processor release, eliminating need for external RC timing network |
| Ultra-low 14μA supply current | Minimizes quiescent drain on coin-cell or Li-ion batteries in sleep-mode applications |
| Push-pull active-high output | Directly interfaces with MCU reset pins requiring high-active assertion, avoiding pull-up resistors and signal inversion |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3125E12DBVR | Active-high open-drain RESET output; no internal pull-up; requires external pull-up resistor | Suitable where bus-shared reset lines or level translation is needed; incompatible with direct MCU reset pin drive | Select only if system requires wired-OR reset architecture or voltage-level shifting |
| TPS3123E12DBVR | Includes watchdog timer (WDI) and active-low push-pull RESET; no active-high output | Used in systems requiring software hang detection; incompatible with active-high reset MCU inputs without inversion | Choose when watchdog supervision is mandatory and reset polarity can be adapted via inverter or MCU configuration |
Compared with TPS3125E12DBVR, TPS3126E12DBVR eliminates external pull-up components and simplifies layout; compared with TPS3123E12DBVR, it removes watchdog complexity while providing native active-high assertion - making it optimal for deterministic, low-component-count reset control in 1.2V processor domains.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage range for TPS3126E12DBVR?
The TPS3126E12DBVR has a guaranteed negative-going input threshold voltage (VIT−) range of 1.10 V to 1.18 V at TA = –40°C to +85°C, with a nominal value of 1.14 V. This E12 variant is specifically calibrated for 1.2V supply rails and includes 20 mV of built-in hysteresis to prevent false triggering during supply transients.
Does TPS3126E12DBVR include a watchdog timer function?
No, TPS3126E12DBVR does not include a watchdog timer. It belongs to the MR-enabled, active-high output subset of the TPS312x family (alongside TPS3125) and omits the WDI pin and associated timing circuitry. Watchdog functionality is present only in TPS3123, TPS3124, and TPS3128 variants.
What is the function of Pin 4 (NC) on TPS3126E12DBVR?
Pin 4 on TPS3126E12DBVR is designated NC (No Connect) and is internally unconnected. It must be left floating or tied to GND per TI's recommended layout practices; routing signals or applying voltage to this pin may cause unpredictable behavior or damage.
How does the manual reset (MR) input behave on TPS3126E12DBVR?
The MR input on TPS3126E12DBVR is an active-low asynchronous control: pulling MR to logic low immediately asserts the active-high RESET output, independent of VDD level or threshold crossing. After MR returns high, RESET deasserts only after the full 180ms delay expires - ensuring clean, timed release.
Is TPS3126E12DBVR compatible with 0.9V supply operation?
Yes, TPS3126E12DBVR is fully specified to operate with supply voltages as low as 0.9V. Its internal circuitry remains functional and RESET output is valid down to this minimum VDD, enabling use in deep-sleep or energy-harvesting systems where supply rails dip near cutoff.
