Product details
Overview
TPS3305-18D from Texas Instruments is a dual-voltage supervisor IC for DSP and processor-based systems, monitoring 3.3V I/O and 1.8V core supplies with 2.93V and 1.68V thresholds respectively, featuring 200ms power-on reset delay, watchdog timer (1.6s timeout), and operation from 2.7V to 6V supply. It supports industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and delivers <40µA quiescent current.
For engineers reviewing the TPS3305-18D datasheet, TPS3305-18D pinout, TPS3305-18D application, or TPS3305-18D equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, SOIC-8 package details, dual-supply supervision logic, watchdog timing behavior, and validated alternative parts for system-level reset architecture design.
Technical Context
The TPS3305-18D implements independent voltage monitoring on SENSE1 (3.3V nominal, 2.93V threshold) and SENSE2 (1.8V nominal, 1.68V threshold), each with 30mV hysteresis. Its internal oscillator drives both the 200ms reset delay timer and the 1.6s watchdog timeout circuit.
RESET assertion occurs on any of three conditions: SENSE1 or SENSE2 falling below VIT−, MR pin pulled low, or WDI pin inactive for >1.6s. RESET deassertion requires both SENSE inputs above VIT+ and completion of the factory-programmed 200ms delay.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supervised voltages | 3.3V I/O rail (SENSE1) and 1.8V core rail (SENSE2) |
| Voltage thresholds | SENSE1: 2.93V (±30mV hysteresis); SENSE2: 1.68V (±30mV hysteresis) |
| Reset delay time | 200ms typ - ensures stable power-up before processor release |
| Watchdog timeout | 1.6s typ - detects firmware lockup without external capacitor |
| Supply current | 40µA max - enables battery-backed or ultra-low-power applications |
| Operating voltage | 2.7V to 6V - compatible with 3.3V and 5V system rails |
| Temperature range | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial environments |
Pinout & Package
TPS3305-18D is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (D) package (5.05mm × 3.95mm, 1.75mm max height), RoHS-compliant with NiPdAu lead finish and MSL Level-1 rating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SENSE1 | Voltage monitor input 1 | Monitors 3.3V I/O supply; asserts RESET if <2.93V |
| SENSE2 | Voltage monitor input 2 | Monitors 1.8V core supply; asserts RESET if <1.68V |
| WDI | Watchdog timer input | Must toggle every ≤1.6s; failure triggers RESET |

| VDD | Supply input | Powers internal circuitry; functional down to 1.1V for defined RESET output |
| MR | Manual reset input | Active-low; forces RESET when pulled low |
| RESET | Active-low reset output | Drives microcontroller /DSP reset pin directly (IOL = 5mA) |
| RESET | Active-high reset output | Complementary signal for logic-level compatibility with diverse host interfaces |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-supply supervision applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3305-18DGN | HVSSOP-8 package (3mm × 3mm, 1.1mm height) vs SOIC-8; identical electrical specs | Better thermal performance and smaller footprint; requires different PCB land pattern | Select for space-constrained or thermally demanding designs where SOIC-8 layout area is prohibitive |
| TPS3808G18 | Single-supply supervisor (1.8V only); no SENSE1 input or dual-rail capability | Lacks 3.3V I/O monitoring - cannot replace dual-monitor function without adding second device | Use only when supervising a single 1.8V rail; not a functional substitute for TPS3305-18D's dual-input architecture |
Compared with TPS3305-18DGN, the TPS3305-18D offers identical supervision functionality in a larger, through-hole-compatible SOIC package ideal for prototyping and legacy layouts; compared with TPS3808G18, it provides essential dual-rail monitoring unattainable with single-channel alternatives.

FAQ
What is the exact voltage threshold for SENSE2 on the TPS3305-18D?
The TPS3305-18D has a nominal SENSE2 threshold of 1.68V, with guaranteed limits of 1.64V (min) and 1.72V (max) at TA = 0°C to +85°C. Over the full industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), the threshold remains within 1.64V to 1.73V. This precisely matches the 1.8V core supply it monitors, providing ~7% headroom for ripple and tolerance.
Does the TPS3305-18D require external capacitors for reset timing?
No, the TPS3305-18D does not require external capacitors for its 200ms power-on reset delay or 1.6s watchdog timeout - both timers are factory-programmed and internally generated. A 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor is recommended at VDD/GND for noise immunity, but no timing capacitors are needed, reducing bill-of-materials count and PCB area.
Can the TPS3305-18D supervise a 5V supply instead of 3.3V on SENSE1?
No - the TPS3305-18D is factory-configured for 3.3V I/O (SENSE1 threshold = 2.93V) and 1.8V core (SENSE2 threshold = 1.68V). For 5V supervision, TI specifies the TPS3305-33 variant (SENSE1 threshold = 4.55V). Using TPS3305-18D on 5V would cause immediate RESET assertion since 5V exceeds the 2.93V threshold.
What is the maximum load the RESET output of the TPS3305-18D can drive?
The active-low RESET output of the TPS3305-18D supports a maximum sink current (IOL) of 5mA at VOL ≤ 0.4V (VDD = 3.3V). This is sufficient to directly drive most microcontroller reset inputs, FPGA configuration pins, or logic gates without external buffering. Exceeding 5mA may degrade VOL and compromise noise margin.
Is the TPS3305-18D pin-compatible with other members of the TPS3305 family?
Yes - all TPS3305-x variants (e.g., TPS3305-25D, TPS3305-33D) share identical SOIC-8 pinouts and terminal functions. Only the internal voltage thresholds differ. This allows drop-in replacement across variants when changing supervised rail voltages, provided the PCB layout accommodates the same SOIC-8 footprint and thermal constraints.
