Product details
Overview
TPS3305-18DRG4 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 operation from 2.7 V to 6 V supply. It delivers active-low and active-high RESET outputs and supports manual reset (MR) and watchdog input (WDI) for robust power sequencing in portable and industrial applications.
For engineers reviewing the TPS3305-18DRG4 datasheet, TPS3305-18DRG4 pinout, TPS3305-18DRG4 application, or TPS3305-18DRG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-rail threshold accuracy (2.93 V / 1.68 V), micropower consumption (40 µA max), guaranteed RESET assertion down to VDD ≥ 1.1 V, and compatibility with SOIC-8 packaging for legacy board integration.
Technical Context
The TPS3305-18DRG4 implements independent voltage sensing on two inputs (SENSE1 and SENSE2) with temperature-compensated reference circuitry, enabling simultaneous monitoring of core (1.8 V) and I/O (3.3 V) supplies. Its internal logic asserts RESET when either input falls below its respective threshold (VIT–), with hysteresis (30 mV typ at 2.93 V) preventing chatter during rail recovery.
A dedicated watchdog timer monitors WDI toggling; failure to toggle within 1.6 s (typ) forces RESET assertion regardless of SENSEn status. The device integrates MR debouncing, propagation delays under 500 ns (MR→RESET), and output drive capability up to 5 mA sink/source - all while maintaining defined behavior across –40°C to +85°C.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
TPS3305-18DRG4 is packaged in an 8-pin SOIC (D) package, 3.9 mm × 4.9 mm body size, 1.75 mm max height, with gull-wing leads and RoHS-compliant NiPdAu finish. Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner or dot; device orientation follows standard SOIC top-view convention.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SENSE1 (Pin 1) | Voltage sense input 1 | Monitors 3.3 V rail; asserts RESET if voltage drops below 2.93 V (typ); includes 30 mV hysteresis |
| SENSE2 (Pin 2) | Voltage sense input 2 | Monitors 1.8 V rail; asserts RESET if voltage drops below 1.68 V (typ); includes 30 mV hysteresis |
| WDI (Pin 3) | Watchdog timer input | Requires periodic toggle (≥ once per 1.6 s); absence triggers forced RESET independent of SENSEn status |
| GND (Pin 4) | Ground reference | Primary return path for internal reference, comparators, and output drivers; must be low-impedance |
| RESET (Pin 5) | Active-low reset output | Open-drain, 5 mA sink capability; pulled low during fault or reset delay; requires external pull-up |
| RESET (Pin 6) | Active-high reset output | Push-pull, 5 mA source/sink; driven high during fault or reset delay; no external pull-up needed |
| MR (Pin 7) | Manual reset input | Active-low; debounced internally; forces RESET assertion when asserted, overriding SENSEn and WDI states |
| VDD (Pin 8) | Supply voltage input | Power source for internal circuitry; valid from 2.7 V to 6 V; RESET remains functional down to 1.1 V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent voltage monitoring | Simultaneous supervision of 3.3 V and 1.8 V rails with separate thresholds and hysteresis - eliminates need for two discrete supervisors |
| Integrated watchdog timer | 1.6 s timeout with WDI input - detects software lockups without external timing components or microcontroller intervention |
| No external capacitor required | Factory-programmed 200 ms reset delay - reduces BOM count, PCB area, and calibration variability |
| Guaranteed operation at low VDD | RESET assertion functional down to VDD = 1.1 V - ensures reliable reset during deep brownout or startup ramp |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-supply monitoring applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3305-18D | Same silicon, SOIC-8 tube-packaged variant (75 pcs/tube); identical electrical specs and pinout | No difference in circuit function or layout - only packaging and reel/tube format differs | Select TPS3305-18D for low-volume prototyping or small-batch production where tape-and-reel handling is unnecessary |
| TPS3808G18 | Single-supply supervisor (1.8 V only); no SENSE1 input or dual-rail capability; 200 ms delay also fixed but lacks watchdog timer | Cannot replace dual-monitoring requirement; suitable only if only 1.8 V rail needs supervision | Choose TPS3808G18 only when system architecture uses separate supervisors per rail and watchdog functionality is not required |
Compared with TPS3305-18D (same die, different packaging), TPS3305-18DRG4 offers tape-and-reel delivery optimized for automated assembly, while TPS3808G18 trades dual-rail capability and watchdog for lower cost and smaller footprint in single-rail applications - neither is pin-compatible nor functionally interchangeable with TPS3305-18DRG4 in dual-supply systems.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for SENSE2 on the TPS3305-18DRG4?
The TPS3305-18DRG4 has a nominal SENSE2 threshold of 1.68 V (typical), with a specified range of 1.64 V to 1.72 V at 0°C to +85°C and 1.64 V to 1.73 V over the full –40°C to +85°C operating range. This threshold is factory-trimmed and temperature-compensated, ensuring stable 1.8 V rail monitoring across environmental conditions. The TPS3305-18DRG4 datasheet confirms this value in the ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS table under VSENSE2 parameter.
Does the TPS3305-18DRG4 require an external capacitor for its reset delay function?
No, the TPS3305-18DRG4 does not require an external capacitor for its reset delay function. Its 200 ms (typical) power-on reset delay is factory-programmed and implemented entirely within the IC using internal timing circuitry. This eliminates component count, board area, and tolerance-related timing variation - a key design advantage confirmed in the FEATURES section and TIMING REQUIREMENTS table of the TPS3305-18DRG4 datasheet.
Can the TPS3305-18DRG4 monitor voltages other than 3.3 V and 1.8 V?
The TPS3305-18DRG4 is specifically trimmed for 3.3 V (SENSE1) and 1.8 V (SENSE2) nominal supervision, with fixed thresholds of 2.93 V and 1.68 V respectively. While it will respond to any voltage applied to SENSE1 or SENSE2 that crosses those thresholds, it is not user-adjustable or reconfigurable. For other voltage combinations, TI offers variants like TPS3305-25 (3.3 V / 2.5 V) or TPS3305-33 (5.0 V / 3.3 V), but the TPS3305-18DRG4 itself supports only its designated dual-rail pair.
What is the maximum watchdog timeout period for the TPS3305-18DRG4?
The maximum watchdog timeout period for the TPS3305-18DRG4 is 2.3 s, with a typical value of 1.6 s and minimum of 1.1 s, as specified in the TIMING REQUIREMENTS table under "tt(out) Watchdog time-out" parameter. This timeout is measured from the last WDI toggle edge and triggers RESET assertion if no subsequent toggle occurs - providing a deterministic safety window for firmware recovery. The TPS3305-18DRG4 datasheet confirms this across temperature and supply voltage conditions.
Is the TPS3305-18DRG4 pin-compatible with other devices in the TPS3305 family?
Yes, all TPS3305-x variants - including TPS3305-18DRG4, TPS3305-25, and TPS3305-33 - share identical pinout, package options (SOIC-8 and HVSSOP-8), and terminal functions. The only differences are factory-trimmed SENSE1/SENSE2 thresholds and part marking. This allows drop-in replacement across variants when adjusting for different rail voltages, provided the new thresholds meet system requirements. The TPS3305-18DRG4 functional block diagram and TERMINAL FUNCTIONS table confirm consistent pin assignments across the family.
