Product details
Overview
TPS3305-18DGN 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 of 40 µA. It provides active-low and active-high RESET outputs and operates from 2.7 V to 6 V over –40°C to +85°C.
For engineers reviewing the TPS3305-18DGN datasheet, TPS3305-18DGN pinout, TPS3305-18DGN application, or TPS3305-18DGN equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-rail threshold accuracy (2.93 V / 1.68 V), hysteresis (30 mV typ), MR/WDI timing compatibility, and HVSSOP-8 thermal performance in space-constrained embedded power sequencing.
Technical Context
The TPS3305-18DGN implements two independent voltage sense comparators with temperature-compensated 1.25 V reference, each feeding a logic-controlled reset generator with fixed 200 ms deassertion delay after both SENSE inputs exceed their thresholds. Its watchdog circuit monitors WDI toggling and asserts RESET if no transition occurs within 1.6 s.
Reset assertion is triggered by any single event: SENSE1 or SENSE2 falling below VIT– (1.64 V / 2.86 V min), MR low, or WDI timeout. The device supports simultaneous core/I/O rail supervision in DSP systems and features defined RESET output down to VDD ≥1.1 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supervised Voltages | SENSE1 = 3.3 V nominal (VIT+ = 2.93 V typ); SENSE2 = 1.8 V nominal (VIT+ = 1.68 V typ) |
| Reset Delay Time | 200 ms typ after both SENSE inputs recover - eliminates need for external capacitor and ensures stable system boot |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6 s typ - detects firmware lockup without requiring external timing components |
| Supply Current | 40 µA max - enables use in battery-powered or ultra-low-power systems |
| Operating Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 6 V - supports wide input rail flexibility including 3.3 V, 5 V, and intermediate supplies |
| Temperature Range | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and automotive under-hood environments |
| Output Types | Active-low RESET and active-high RESET - simplifies interface to diverse host logic families |
Pinout & Package
HVSSOP-8 (DGN) package: 3 mm × 3 mm, 0.65 mm pitch, 1.1 mm max height, exposed thermal pad for enhanced thermal dissipation in high-density PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SENSE1 (Pin 1) | Voltage monitor input 1 | Monitors 3.3 V rail; asserts RESET when voltage falls below 2.93 V (typ) with 30 mV hysteresis |
| SENSE2 (Pin 2) | Voltage monitor input 2 | Monitors 1.8 V core rail; threshold = 1.68 V (typ), hysteresis = 30 mV |
| WDI (Pin 3) | Watchdog timer input | Requires toggling every ≤1.6 s; failure triggers immediate RESET assertion |
| GND (Pin 4) | Ground reference | Common return path for all internal circuits and output drivers |
| RESET (Pin 5) | Active-low reset output | Open-drain compatible; sinks up to 5 mA; asserted low during fault or reset delay |
| RESET (Pin 6) | Active-high reset output | Pull-up required externally; complements Pin 5 for direct CMOS/TTL interface |
| MR (Pin 7) | Manual reset input | Active-low; forces RESET assertion when pulled low, overriding all other conditions |
| VDD (Pin 8) | Supply voltage input | Accepts 2.7–6 V; powers internal reference, comparators, and logic; RESET defined down to 1.1 V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent voltage supervision | Simultaneous monitoring of I/O (3.3 V) and core (1.8 V) rails avoids separate supervisors and reduces BOM count |
| Factory-programmed 200 ms reset delay | Eliminates external RC timing network, improves board-level reliability and layout simplicity |
| Integrated watchdog timer | 1.6 s timeout with dedicated WDI pin enables firmware health checking without external oscillator or counter |
| Low quiescent current (40 µA) | Minimizes standby power draw in always-on subsystems such as modem wake logic or sensor hubs |
| Defined RESET operation down to VDD = 1.1 V | Ensures predictable reset behavior during brownout or battery discharge scenarios before full supply collapse |
Applications
| Processor Power Sequencing | DSP-Based Communications Equipment |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Coordinating startup of 3.3 V I/O and 1.8 V core supplies in ARM Cortex-A/M series SoCs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-rail supervisor ensuring proper voltage order and hold time before releasing reset to CPU and peripherals.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-supply monitoring applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3305-18DR | Same electrical specs; SOIC-8 (D) package (4.9 mm × 3.9 mm) vs HVSSOP-8 (3 mm × 3 mm); higher thermal resistance (1.37 W vs 2.14 W power rating at 25°C) | Preferred for through-hole prototyping or legacy board designs with SOIC footprints; less suitable for high-density portable devices | Select TPS3305-18DR when board space allows larger footprint and thermal budget permits lower power dissipation capability |
| MAX6816EUT+T | Single-supply supervisor (1.8 V only); no dual-sense capability; includes debounced pushbutton interface; 1.6 µA supply current; SC70-6 package | Applicable only for single-rail monitoring with manual reset support; lacks watchdog and second sense channel | Choose MAX6816EUT+T only for cost-sensitive, space-constrained applications needing basic 1.8 V supervision without dual-rail or watchdog functionality |
Compared with TPS3305-18DR and MAX6816EUT+T, the TPS3305-18DGN uniquely delivers dual-rail supervision, integrated watchdog, and HVSSOP-8 thermal efficiency in a single 3 mm × 3 mm footprint-making it optimal for modern DSP, FPGA, and SoC power sequencing where board area and multi-rail coordination are critical.

FAQ
What is the exact threshold voltage for SENSE2 on the TPS3305-18DGN?
The TPS3305-18DGN has a nominal SENSE2 threshold voltage of 1.68 V (typical), with a minimum of 1.64 V and maximum of 1.72 V over temperature (0°C to +85°C). At full industrial range (–40°C to +85°C), the specification tightens to 1.64 V to 1.73 V. This threshold is factory-trimmed and applies exclusively to the TPS3305-18DGN variant, not other members of the TPS3305 family.
Does the TPS3305-18DGN require an external capacitor for its reset delay function?
No, the TPS3305-18DGN does not require an external capacitor for its reset delay function. It features a factory-programmed 200 ms typical delay time that is internally generated and temperature-stable. This eliminates external timing components, reduces bill-of-materials count, and improves reliability compared to RC-based solutions. The TPS3305-18DGN achieves this using on-chip oscillator and counter circuitry calibrated during manufacturing.
Can the TPS3305-18DGN monitor voltages other than 3.3 V and 1.8 V?
The TPS3305-18DGN is specifically configured to supervise 3.3 V (SENSE1) and 1.8 V (SENSE2) rails, with fixed internal thresholds of 2.93 V (typ) and 1.68 V (typ), respectively. It cannot be reconfigured for other voltage levels. For different combinations, TI offers alternate variants: TPS3305-25 (3.3 V / 2.5 V) and TPS3305-33 (5.0 V / 3.3 V). The TPS3305-18DGN's thresholds are laser-trimmed and not user-adjustable.
What is the maximum watchdog timeout period supported by the TPS3305-18DGN?
The TPS3305-18DGN supports a typical watchdog timeout period of 1.6 s, with a minimum of 1.1 s and maximum of 2.3 s over temperature and supply voltage. This timeout is fixed and non-adjustable. If the WDI pin remains static beyond this window, the device asserts RESET regardless of SENSE input states. The TPS3305-18DGN requires a clean, monotonic edge on WDI - not a DC level - to reset the watchdog timer.
Is the TPS3305-18DGN pin-compatible with other devices in the TPS3305 family?
Yes, all TPS3305-xxDGN and TPS3305-xxD variants share identical pinouts across the family (e.g., TPS3305-18DGN, TPS3305-25DGN, TPS3305-33DGN). Pin 1 is SENSE1, Pin 2 is SENSE2, Pin 3 is WDI, etc. This allows drop-in replacement between voltage variants when changing system rail requirements - provided the new thresholds match the target supply voltages. The TPS3305-18DGN's pin mapping is fully consistent with the family datasheet.
