Product details
Overview
TPS3306-20QDRG4Q1 from Texas Instruments is an automotive-grade dual supervisory circuit for DSP and processor-based systems, monitoring 3.3 V and 2.0 V supply rails with threshold voltages of 2.93 V and 1.85 V respectively, featuring a 100-ms power-on reset delay, 0.8-s watchdog time-out, and open-drain RESET/PFO outputs. It operates across −40°C to 125°C and draws only 15 µA typical supply current.
For engineers reviewing the TPS3306-20QDRG4Q1 datasheet, TPS3306-20QDRG4Q1 pinout, TPS3306-20QDRG4Q1 application, or TPS3306-20QDRG4Q1 equivalent, this device serves as a voltage supervisor for multivoltage embedded control, automotive ECUs, and battery-powered instrumentation where dual-rail monitoring and fail-safe reset generation are critical.
Technical Context
The TPS3306-20QDRG4Q1 integrates two independent voltage comparators with fixed thresholds (2.93 V on SENSE1, 1.85 V on SENSE2), a 100-ms reset delay timer, and a watchdog circuit triggered by WDI transitions with 0.8-s nominal time-out. Its internal 1.25-V reference enables configurable PFI monitoring via external resistor dividers.
All outputs-RESET and PFO-are open-drain, supporting wired-OR configurations and flexible pull-up voltage selection. The device asserts RESET when either SENSE input falls below its threshold or during power-up until VDD exceeds 1.1 V, ensuring reliable initialization in automotive and industrial environments.
Key Specifications

| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 6 V - supports wide-input systems including 3.3 V, 5 V, and mixed-rail designs |
| SENSE1 Threshold (VIT1) | 2.93 V (typ) - monitors 3.3 V rail with ~11% undervoltage margin before reset assertion |
| SENSE2 Threshold (VIT2) | 1.85 V (typ) - monitors 2.0 V rail with ~7.5% undervoltage margin |
| Power-On Reset Delay | 100 ms (typ) - ensures stable power sequencing before releasing system reset |
| Watchdog Time-Out | 0.8 s (typ) - detects software hangs in real-time DSP/processor applications |

Pinout & Package
TPS3306-20QDRG4Q1 is housed in an SOIC-8 (D package), 3.9 mm × 4.9 mm body, 1.75 mm max height, RoHS-compliant with NIPDAU lead finish and MSL Level-2-260°C-1 year rating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SENSE1 (Pin 1) | Voltage sense input 1 | Monitors primary supply (e.g., 3.3 V); asserts RESET if voltage drops below 2.93 V |
| SENSE2 (Pin 2) | Voltage sense input 2 | Monitors secondary supply (e.g., 2.0 V); independent fault detection path |
| PFI (Pin 3) | Power-fail comparator input | Configurable low-battery or auxiliary supply monitor using external resistor divider |
| GND (Pin 4) | Ground reference | Common return for all analog and digital functions; requires low-impedance PCB connection |
| RESET (Pin 5) | Active-low open-drain reset output | Drives system reset line; requires external pull-up to compatible logic voltage |
| PFO (Pin 6) | Active-low open-drain power-fail output | Signals impending supply collapse; supports early warning or graceful shutdown |
| WDI (Pin 7) | Watchdog timer input | Edge-triggered; toggling within 0.8 s prevents reset; unconnected disables watchdog |
| VDD (Pin 8) | Supply voltage input | Primary power source (2.7–6 V); powers internal comparators, timers, and logic |

FAQ
What is the exact voltage threshold monitored on SENSE2 for TPS3306-20QDRG4Q1?
The TPS3306-20QDRG4Q1 monitors SENSE2 at a nominal threshold of 1.85 V (typical), with guaranteed range of 1.79 V to 1.91 V over −40°C to 125°C. This is optimized for 2.0 V supply rails and provides ~7.5% undervoltage margin before asserting RESET. The value is fixed and factory-trimmed - no external resistor programming is required for this channel.
Does TPS3306-20QDRG4Q1 support watchdog functionality, and how is it enabled?
Yes, TPS3306-20QDRG4Q1 includes a watchdog timer with 0.8-s nominal time-out. It is enabled by applying periodic rising or falling edges to the WDI pin (Pin 7); leaving WDI unconnected disables the watchdog. The timer resets on each valid transition, and failure to toggle within the time-out window forces RESET active for 100 ms. No external components are needed.
Can TPS3306-20QDRG4Q1 monitor a 5 V supply rail?
No - the TPS3306-20QDRG4Q1 is configured specifically for 3.3 V/2.0 V dual-rail supervision (SENSE1 = 2.93 V, SENSE2 = 1.85 V). For 5 V monitoring, TI recommends TPS3306-33QDRQ1 (SENSE1 = 4.55 V, SENSE2 = 2.93 V). Using TPS3306-20QDRG4Q1 on a 5 V rail would result in permanent RESET assertion since 5 V exceeds both thresholds.
What is the minimum VDD required for TPS3306-20QDRG4Q1 to assert a valid RESET signal?
TPS3306-20QDRG4Q1 asserts RESET when VDD rises above 1.1 V (guaranteed), enabling early reset generation during power-up before internal circuitry fully stabilizes. This ensures robust initialization even with slow-ramping supplies. Below 1.1 V, RESET behavior is undefined; the device remains in reset state until VDD crosses this threshold.
Is TPS3306-20QDRG4Q1 pin-compatible with other members of the TPS3306-Q1 family?
Yes - all TPS3306-Q1 variants (e.g., TPS3306-15QDRQ1, TPS3306-25QDRQ1) share identical SOIC-8 (D) package, pinout, and terminal functions. Only the SENSE1/SENSE2 threshold voltages differ between part numbers. This allows drop-in replacement across the family when adjusting for different supply rail combinations, provided layout accommodates the same footprint.
