Product details
Overview
TPS3305-18DG4 from Texas Instruments is a dual-voltage supervisor IC for DSP and processor-based systems, monitoring 3.3 V (SENSE1) and 1.8 V (SENSE2) rails with factory-programmed 200 ms reset delay, watchdog timeout of 1.6 s typ, and supply current ≤40 µA. It delivers active-low and active-high RESET outputs in an SOIC-8 package for core/I/O power sequencing in embedded computing.
For engineers reviewing the TPS3305-18DG4 datasheet, TPS3305-18DG4 pinout, TPS3305-18DG4 application, or TPS3305-18DG4 equivalent, this page provides verified electrical parameters, terminal functions, dual-threshold supervision behavior, watchdog timing, and real-world use cases in portable and industrial DSP platforms.
Technical Context
The TPS3305-18DG4 implements two independent voltage monitoring channels with temperature-compensated 1.25 V reference, hysteresis (15–40 mV), and precise threshold tolerances (±1.5% typ). Its internal oscillator drives both power-on reset and watchdog timer logic without external components.
RESET assertion occurs when either SENSE1 falls below 2.93 V or SENSE2 falls below 1.68 V, or when WDI remains static >1.6 s. After recovery, a fixed 200 ms delay ensures stable system initialization before deasserting RESET.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
TPS3305-18DG4 is housed in an SOIC-8 (D) package, 3.9 mm × 4.9 mm × 1.75 mm, with gull-wing leads and RoHS-compliant NiPdAu finish. Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner or dot; device orientation follows JEDEC MS-012AA standard.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SENSE1 (Pin 1) | Voltage monitor input 1 | Monitors 3.3 V rail; asserts RESET if voltage drops below 2.93 V |
| SENSE2 (Pin 2) | Voltage monitor input 2 | Monitors 1.8 V core rail; asserts RESET if voltage drops below 1.68 V |
| WDI (Pin 3) | Watchdog timer input | Must toggle ≥1/1.6 s; failure triggers RESET regardless of SENSEn status |
| GND (Pin 4) | Ground reference | Common return path for all analog and digital circuitry; requires low-impedance PCB connection |
| RESET (Pin 5) | Active-low reset output | Open-drain output; requires external pull-up for microcontroller reset input compatibility |
| RESET (Pin 6) | Active-high reset output | Push-pull output; directly drives FPGA or ASIC reset pins without pull-up |
| MR (Pin 7) | Manual reset input | Active-low; forces RESET assertion when pulled low, overriding all other conditions |
| VDD (Pin 8) | Supply voltage input | Power source for internal circuitry; operates from 2.7 V to 6 V; defined RESET output down to 1.1 V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent voltage monitoring | Simultaneous supervision of I/O (3.3 V) and core (1.8 V) rails eliminates need for two discrete supervisors |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-supply supervision applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3305-18D | Same silicon die, identical electrical specs; SOIC-8 package without G4 suffix (RoHS-compliant but unspecified lead finish) | No functional difference; D variant uses standard NiPdAu finish per TI's Package Option Addendum | Select TPS3305-18D when exact RoHS compliance documentation is not required or when legacy procurement channels prefer non-G4 ordering codes |
| MAX6816EUT+T | Single-supply supervisor (1.8 V only); no watchdog; 200 ms delay; SOT-23-6 package | Lacks dual-rail capability and WDI functionality; suitable only for single-rail 1.8 V systems | Choose MAX6816EUT+T only when supervising one rail and space-constrained layout prohibits SOIC-8; not a functional substitute for TPS3305-18DG4 |
Compared with TPS3305-18D, the TPS3305-18DG4 offers identical performance with explicit G4 marking confirming NiPdAu lead finish and full RoHS compliance; versus MAX6816EUT+T, it provides essential dual-rail monitoring and watchdog coverage required for DSP boot integrity.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for SENSE2 on the TPS3305-18DG4?
The TPS3305-18DG4 has a nominal SENSE2 threshold of 1.68 V (VIT+), with a typical tolerance of ±1.5% over –40°C to +85°C. This value is factory-trimmed and specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "VSENSE2" parameter. The corresponding hysteresis is 15 mV, ensuring noise immunity during rail recovery. This threshold is fixed and not adjustable.
Does the TPS3305-18DG4 require an external capacitor for its reset delay function?
No, the TPS3305-18DG4 does not require an external capacitor for its reset delay function. Its 200 ms power-on reset delay is factory-programmed and implemented using internal timing circuitry. This eliminates component count, reduces PCB area, and improves timing consistency across temperature and voltage variations compared to RC-based solutions.
Can the TPS3305-18DG4 monitor voltages other than 3.3 V and 1.8 V?
The TPS3305-18DG4 is specifically configured for 3.3 V (SENSE1) and 1.8 V (SENSE2) supervision, with fixed internal thresholds of 2.93 V and 1.68 V respectively. It cannot be reconfigured for other voltage levels. For different combinations, TI offers TPS3305-25 (3.3 V / 2.5 V) and TPS3305-33 (5.0 V / 3.3 V) variants - each with dedicated threshold trimming.
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for the TPS3305-18DG4?
The absolute maximum supply voltage (VDD) for the TPS3305-18DG4 is +7 V, but its recommended operating range is 2.7 V to 6.0 V. Operation above 6 V risks exceeding safe dissipation limits and may compromise long-term reliability. The device guarantees defined RESET output behavior down to VDD = 1.1 V, enabling brownout detection in low-voltage scenarios.
How does the watchdog timer on the TPS3305-18DG4 interact with the voltage monitoring function?
The watchdog timer on the TPS3305-18DG4 operates independently of the SENSE1/SENSE2 comparators. If the WDI pin remains static for >1.6 s (typ), RESET is asserted regardless of whether both monitored rails are within specification. Recovery requires both WDI toggling and both SENSE inputs exceeding their thresholds, followed by the 200 ms delay - ensuring robust fault containment.
