Product details
Overview
TPS3306-33DGKR from Texas Instruments is a dual-voltage supervisory IC designed for monitoring 5 V and 3.3 V supply rails in DSP and microprocessor systems. It provides active-low open-drain RESET and PFO outputs, integrated 100 ms power-on reset delay, 0.8 s watchdog timer timeout, 4.55 V/2.93 V sense thresholds, and operates from –40°C to +85°C in VSSOP-8 package.
For engineers reviewing the TPS3306-33DGKR datasheet, TPS3306-33DGKR pinout, TPS3306-33DGKR application, or TPS3306-33DGKR equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-rail voltage supervision accuracy, watchdog retriggering behavior, open-drain output drive capability, low 15 µA supply current, and compatibility with 5 V/3.3 V system architectures requiring reliable power sequencing and fault detection.
Technical Context
The TPS3306-33DGKR integrates two independent voltage comparators with fixed thresholds (4.55 V for SENSE1, 2.93 V for SENSE2), a power-fail comparator referenced to 1.25 V, and a watchdog timer triggered by WDI transitions. RESET remains asserted until both sensed voltages exceed their thresholds and sustain for ≥100 ms.
Its open-drain RESET and PFO outputs support wired-OR configurations and level-shifting across voltage domains. The device asserts RESET when VDD ≥1.1 V and maintains it during undervoltage on either SENSE input or watchdog timeout - enabling robust system initialization and runtime fault recovery in embedded control applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| SENSE1 Threshold | 4.55 V (typical); monitors 5 V rail with ±3% tolerance over temperature |
| SENSE2 Threshold | 2.93 V (typical); monitors 3.3 V rail with ±3% tolerance over temperature |
| RESET Delay Time | 100 ms (typical); ensures stable power-up before releasing processor reset |
| Watchdog Timeout | 0.8 s (typical); detects firmware lockup if WDI not toggled within interval |
| Supply Current | 15 µA (typical at 25°C); enables low-power operation in battery-backed systems |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C; qualified for industrial and automotive-adjacent embedded environments |
| VDD Range | 2.7 V to 6 V; supports wide input supply range while supervising higher rails via resistive dividers |
Pinout & Package
VSSOP-8 (DGK) package: 3.0 mm × 3.0 mm body, 0.65 mm lead pitch, 1.1 mm max height, exposed pad optional per layout guidelines.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: SENSE1 | Voltage monitor input 1 | Connects to 5 V rail (direct or via resistor divider) for primary supply supervision |
| 2: SENSE2 | Voltage monitor input 2 | Connects to 3.3 V rail (direct or via resistor divider) for secondary supply supervision |
| 3: PFI | Power-fail comparator input | Monitors auxiliary voltage (e.g., battery, backup rail) against internal 1.25 V reference |
| 4: GND | Ground reference | Analog/digital common return; requires low-impedance connection to PCB ground plane |
| 5: RESET | Active-low open-drain reset output | Pulls low during fault conditions; requires external pull-up to host VDD (e.g., 3.3 V) |
| 6: PFO | Active-low open-drain power-fail output | Signals auxiliary supply failure independently of main RESET assertion |
| 7: WDI | Watchdog timer input | Edge-triggered (rising/falling); unconnected disables watchdog function |
| 8: VDD | Supply voltage input | Power source for supervisory circuitry; must be ≥1.1 V for RESET activation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent voltage supervision | Simultaneously monitors 5 V and 3.3 V rails with dedicated thresholds-eliminates need for discrete comparators or external dividers in dual-rail systems |
| Integrated 100 ms reset delay | Guarantees clean release of RESET only after both supplies stabilize-prevents premature processor boot in noisy or slow-ramping power environments |
| Configurable power-fail detection | PFI input referenced to precise 1.25 V internal bandgap allows monitoring of any voltage >1.25 V using two 1% resistors-supports battery low-warning or auxiliary supply fault detection |
| Watchdog timer with edge-triggered WDI | 0.8 s timeout resets on any WDI transition-enables flexible firmware integration without strict timing windows or clock dependencies |
| Low quiescent current | 15 µA typical supply current extends battery life in portable or always-on monitoring applications where continuous supervision is required |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Controller | Automotive Infotainment Head Unit |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3306-33DR | SOIC-8 package (5.0 mm × 4.0 mm); same electrical specs and pinout as DGK variant | Preferred for through-hole prototyping or legacy board designs with SOIC footprints | Select when PCB layout accommodates larger SOIC footprint and thermal mass is beneficial in high-ambient environments |
| TPS3823-33DBVR | Single 3.3 V supervisor (no SENSE1/PFI); 35 µA supply current; 200 ms reset delay | Lacks dual-rail monitoring and power-fail comparator-suitable only for single-rail 3.3 V systems | Choose only if application requires only 3.3 V supervision and space constraints permit smaller SOT-23-5 package |

FAQ
What is the exact SENSE1 and SENSE2 threshold voltage for TPS3306-33DGKR?
The TPS3306-33DGKR has a nominal SENSE1 threshold of 4.55 V and SENSE2 threshold of 2.93 V, both specified at 25°C with ±3% variation over –40°C to +85°C. These values are factory-trimmed and documented in Table 1 of the SLVS290C datasheet. The TPS3306-33DGKR uses these fixed thresholds to supervise 5 V and 3.3 V rails without external resistor networks.
Does TPS3306-33DGKR require external components to supervise 5 V and 3.3 V rails?
No, the TPS3306-33DGKR does not require external resistors to supervise standard 5 V and 3.3 V rails-its internal thresholds (4.55 V and 2.93 V) match those nominal voltages directly. External dividers are only needed if monitoring non-standard voltages via SENSE1 or SENSE2, or when using the PFI input for auxiliary rail supervision.
How is the watchdog timer in TPS3306-33DGKR enabled or disabled?
The watchdog timer in TPS3306-33DGKR is enabled by applying periodic rising or falling edges to the WDI pin; leaving WDI unconnected or held static disables the watchdog. The timeout period is fixed at 0.8 s (typical), and each valid edge resets the internal counter. The TPS3306-33DGKR datasheet specifies that no external components are needed to configure this function.
What is the maximum sink current capability of the RESET and PFO outputs in TPS3306-33DGKR?
The RESET and PFO outputs of the TPS3306-33DGKR are open-drain and rated for 5 mA maximum sink current (IOL) at VO = 0.4 V. This allows direct interfacing with common logic families (e.g., 3.3 V or 5 V microcontrollers) using standard pull-up resistors. The TPS3306-33DGKR maintains this specification across its full operating temperature range.
Is TPS3306-33DGKR compatible with lead-free PCB assembly processes?
Yes, the TPS3306-33DGKR is RoHS-compliant with NiPdAu (NIPDAU) lead finish and MSL Level-1 rating (unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH), supporting standard lead-free reflow profiles up to 260°C peak. Its VSSOP-8 package meets JEDEC MO-187 standards, and the TPS3306-33DGKR is qualified for industrial temperature operation without derating under IPC-J-STD-020 guidelines.
