Product details
Overview
TPS3306-25DGKG4 from Texas Instruments is a dual-voltage supervisory IC designed for DSP and processor-based systems requiring independent monitoring of 3.3 V and 2.5 V rails. It integrates power-on reset (100 ms delay), watchdog timer (0.8 s timeout), open-drain RESET and PFO outputs, and a dedicated power-fail comparator. It operates across –40°C to +85°C in the 8-pin VSSOP package and is used in embedded control systems where reliable dual-rail initialization and fault detection are critical.
For engineers reviewing the TPS3306-25DGKG4 datasheet, TPS3306-25DGKG4 pinout, TPS3306-25DGKG4 application, or TPS3306-25DGKG4 equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications including SENSE1/SENSE2 threshold voltages (2.93 V / 2.25 V), watchdog timing, RESET assertion behavior below VDD ≥1.1 V, and VSSOP-8 terminal functions - all essential for power sequencing validation and BOM selection.
Technical Context
The TPS3306-25DGKG4 implements two independent voltage comparators with fixed thresholds (2.93 V on SENSE1, 2.25 V on SENSE2) referenced to an internal 1.25 V bandgap, each with ~20 mV hysteresis. Its RESET output remains active low until both sensed voltages exceed their respective thresholds and sustain for ≥100 ms.
It includes a transition-triggered watchdog circuit (0.8 s timeout) with WDI input sensitive to either rising or falling edges, and a separate PFI/PFO path comparing external voltages against 1.25 V - enabling flexible low-battery or auxiliary supply monitoring without additional components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| SENSE1 Threshold | 2.93 V (monitors 3.3 V rail; asserts RESET if drops below, with 20 mV hysteresis) |
| SENSE2 Threshold | 2.25 V (monitors 2.5 V rail; enables dual-rail coordination for DSP core/I/O sequencing) |
| RESET Delay Time | 100 ms (ensures stable power-up before releasing processor reset, programmable only via internal timer) |
| Watchdog Timeout | 0.8 s (requires WDI edge every ≤0.8 s; prevents runaway code in safety-critical firmware loops) |
| Supply Current | 15 µA typical (enables use in battery-backed systems without significant drain) |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C (qualified for industrial and automotive-adjacent embedded applications) |
| VDD Range | 2.7 V to 6 V (supports wide input range while maintaining accurate sensing down to 1.1 V VDD) |
Pinout & Package
VSSOP-8 (DGK) package: 3.0 mm × 3.0 mm body, 0.65 mm pitch, 1.1 mm max height, exposed pad not electrically connected. RoHS-compliant, NIPDAU lead finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - SENSE1 | Voltage sense input 1 | Monitors primary supply (e.g., 3.3 V); threshold = 2.93 V; high-impedance input (≤8 µA leakage) |
| 2 - SENSE2 | Voltage sense input 2 | Monitors secondary supply (e.g., 2.5 V); threshold = 2.25 V; independent hysteresis and timing |
| 3 - PFI | Power-fail comparator input | Compares external voltage to 1.25 V reference; enables custom low-battery or auxiliary rail monitoring |
| 4 - GND | Ground reference | Common return for all analog and digital functions; requires low-impedance PCB connection |
| 5 - RESET | Active-low open-drain reset output | Drives microprocessor / DSP reset line; requires external pull-up; asserted below VDD ≥1.1 V |
| 6 - PFO | Active-low open-drain power-fail output | Signals PFI threshold breach; isolated from RESET logic; supports independent warning signaling |
| 7 - WDI | Watchdog timer input | Edge-triggered (rising/falling); disables watchdog if left floating or held static |
| 8 - VDD | Supply voltage input | Powers internal circuitry; valid from 2.7 V to 6 V; RESET defined down to 1.1 V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent voltage supervision | Simultaneous 3.3 V/2.5 V monitoring with separate thresholds and hysteresis avoids single-point failure in multi-rail systems |
| Integrated 100 ms power-on reset timer | Eliminates need for external RC timing network; ensures deterministic release after stable power conditions |
| 0.8 s watchdog with edge-triggered WDI | Reduces firmware overhead vs. level-sensitive designs; tolerates brief signal glitches without false timeout |
| Open-drain RESET and PFO outputs | Enables wired-OR configuration with other supervisors or logic; supports mixed-voltage system interfacing |
| 1.25 V precision PFI reference | Allows accurate monitoring of any voltage >1.25 V using two 1% resistors; minimizes external component count |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-supply supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3306-25DR | SOIC-8 package (6.4 mm × 5.2 mm), higher thermal resistance (377 mW @ 85°C vs. 220 mW for DGK), same electrical specs | Preferred for through-hole prototyping or legacy board layouts; less suitable for space-constrained automotive modules | Select when board real estate allows larger footprint and reflow compatibility with SOIC carriers is required. |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single-supply supervisor (3.3 V only), no SENSE2 or PFI; 35 µA IQ; adjustable delay; different pinout and no watchdog | Lacks dual-rail coordination and power-fail warning; requires external circuitry for 2.5 V monitoring | Only viable if system reduces to single-rail supervision and can accommodate redesign of reset timing and fault signaling. |
Compared with TPS3306-25DR, the TPS3306-25DGKG4 offers 40% smaller PCB area and better thermal performance in compact enclosures; compared with TPS3808G33DBVR, it provides native dual-rail coordination and integrated PFI functionality - eliminating design compromises in multi-voltage DSP systems.

FAQ
What is the exact SENSE1 and SENSE2 threshold voltage for TPS3306-25DGKG4?
The TPS3306-25DGKG4 has a nominal SENSE1 threshold of 2.93 V (for 3.3 V rail supervision) and SENSE2 threshold of 2.25 V (for 2.5 V rail supervision), both with ±3% tolerance over temperature and 20 mV hysteresis. These values are factory-trimmed and specified in Table 1 of the SLVS290C datasheet.
Does TPS3306-25DGKG4 require external components to function as a basic dual-supply supervisor?
No - the TPS3306-25DGKG4 operates autonomously with only VDD, GND, and the two SENSE inputs connected. External pull-up resistors on RESET and PFO are required for open-drain operation, but no timing capacitors or resistors are needed for its 100 ms reset delay or watchdog functionality.
Can the watchdog timer in TPS3306-25DGKG4 be disabled, and how?
Yes - the watchdog timer in TPS3306-25DGKG4 is disabled by leaving the WDI pin unconnected (high-impedance) or tying it to a static logic level. The datasheet confirms that absence of transitions on WDI causes internal retriggering and prevents timeout assertion of RESET.
Is TPS3306-25DGKG4 compatible with automotive applications?
The standard TPS3306-25DGKG4 is qualified for industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and is widely used in automotive infotainment and telematics. For AEC-Q100 compliance, TI offers the pin-compatible TPS3306-25Q1 variant - the base TPS3306-25DGKG4 itself is not AEC-Q100 certified.
What package type and dimensions does TPS3306-25DGKG4 use?
TPS3306-25DGKG4 uses the VSSOP-8 (DGK) package: 3.0 mm × 3.0 mm body size, 0.65 mm lead pitch, 1.1 mm maximum height, and 8 terminals. The "G4" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant, lead-free, NiPdAu finish per TI's packaging nomenclature.
