Product details
Overview
TPS3306-33DR 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, and operates across –40°C to +85°C. Used in embedded control systems requiring reliable dual-rail power sequencing and fail-safe reset.
For engineers reviewing the TPS3306-33DR datasheet, TPS3306-33DR pinout, TPS3306-33DR application, or TPS3306-33DR equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-threshold sensing (4.55 V / 2.93 V), low 15 µA supply current, SOIC-8 package compatibility, and watchdog timeout behavior under system stall conditions.
Technical Context
The TPS3306-33DR integrates two independent voltage comparators with fixed thresholds (4.55 V for SENSE1, 2.93 V for SENSE2), each with ~30 mV hysteresis. Its internal 100 ms reset delay timer activates only after both sensed voltages exceed their respective thresholds, ensuring coordinated system initialization.
A dedicated PFI comparator referenced to 1.25 V enables external power-fail monitoring via resistor divider, while the WDI input supports edge-triggered watchdog reset with 0.8 s timeout - disabled if left floating. All outputs are open-drain, requiring external pull-ups for logic-level compatibility.
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 by requiring WDI transition within interval |
| Supply Current | 15 µA typical at VDD = 3.3 V - enables battery-backed operation in portable systems |
| 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 margin while maintaining supervision integrity |
Pinout & Package
TPS3306-33DR is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (D) package, 3.9 mm × 4.9 mm body, 1.75 mm max height, with standard 1.27 mm lead pitch and RoHS-compliant NiPdAu finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - SENSE1 | Voltage sense input 1 | Monitors primary supply (5 V); asserts RESET if voltage drops below 4.55 V |
| 2 - SENSE2 | Voltage sense input 2 | Monitors secondary supply (3.3 V); contributes to RESET assertion if below 2.93 V |
| 3 - PFI | Power-fail comparator input | Accepts external resistor-divider voltage; triggers PFO when input falls below 1.25 V |
| 4 - GND | Analog/digital ground | Common reference for all comparators and internal circuitry; must be low-impedance |
| 5 - RESET | Active-low open-drain reset output | Drives low during fault or power-up; requires external pull-up to host VCC |
| 6 - PFO | Active-low open-drain power-fail output | Signals auxiliary supply failure; independent of RESET timing and thresholds |
| 7 - WDI | Watchdog timer input | Edge-sensitive; resets internal timer on rising or falling transition; disabled if floating |
| 8 - VDD | Supply voltage input | Powers internal circuitry; RESET is defined down to VDD ≥ 1.1 V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent voltage supervision | Simultaneously monitors 5 V and 3.3 V rails with separate thresholds and hysteresis |
| Configurable power-fail detection | PFI input referenced to 1.25 V allows monitoring of any voltage >1.25 V using external resistors |
| Integrated watchdog timer | 0.8 s timeout with edge-triggered WDI input eliminates need for external timing components |
| Guaranteed RESET assertion at low VDD | Defined RESET behavior begins at VDD ≥ 1.1 V - critical for brownout recovery |
| Low quiescent current | 15 µA typical supply current enables use in always-on or battery-critical subsystems |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Controller | Automotive Infotainment Head Unit |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Dual-rail power sequencing for FPGA + ARM Cortex-A core with 5 V I/O and 3.3 V logic supplies. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervises both rails, asserts synchronized RESET until both stabilize, then enables watchdog for runtime firmware health check. Use Value: Prevents partial initialization and silent corruption during cold start or transient dips - validated per IEC 61000-4-2/4-4. | Use Scenario: Power management in head unit with main 5 V DC-DC and 3.3 V LDO for audio DSP and display controller.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-voltage supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3306-33DGKR | VSSOP-8 (2.3 mm × 2.0 mm) vs SOIC-8 (3.9 mm × 4.9 mm); identical electrical specs and marking "AIG" | Requires PCB redesign for smaller footprint and finer pitch; better suited for space-constrained designs | Select DGKR for high-density layouts; DR for legacy SOIC-compatible boards and ease of hand-soldering |
| TPS3306-Q1DR | Automotive-grade (AEC-Q100 Grade 2); same SOIC-8 package; extended reliability testing and traceability | Required for automotive infotainment or ADAS ECUs; not qualified for industrial temp range outside –40°C to +105°C | Choose Q1DR for production vehicles; TPS3306-33DR for industrial, medical, or commercial systems |
Compared with TPS3306-33DGKR and TPS3306-Q1DR, the TPS3306-33DR offers standard industrial qualification, SOIC-8 compatibility for prototyping and repair, and identical supervision thresholds - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, non-automotive embedded designs where board real estate and qualification scope permit.

FAQ
What is the exact SENSE1 and SENSE2 threshold voltage for TPS3306-33DR?
The TPS3306-33DR has a typical SENSE1 threshold of 4.55 V (for 5 V rail monitoring) and SENSE2 threshold of 2.93 V (for 3.3 V rail monitoring), with ±3% variation over temperature and supply. These values are factory-trimmed and specified in Table 1 of the SLVS290C datasheet - no external resistor adjustment is needed.
Does TPS3306-33DR require external pull-up resistors on RESET and PFO?
Yes, TPS3306-33DR features open-drain RESET and PFO outputs, so external pull-up resistors are mandatory. Typical values are 4.7 kΩ to the respective host supply (e.g., 3.3 V or 5 V). Pull-up placement should minimize trace length to reduce noise susceptibility and ensure clean edge transitions.
Can the watchdog timer in TPS3306-33DR be disabled, and how?
Yes, the watchdog timer in TPS3306-33DR is disabled by leaving the WDI pin unconnected (floating) or tying it to a static logic level (VDD or GND). The datasheet confirms that absence of transitions disables watchdog functionality - no configuration register or strap pin is required.
What is the minimum VDD required for TPS3306-33DR to assert RESET?
The TPS3306-33DR guarantees RESET assertion down to VDD ≥ 1.1 V, as confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table. This ensures reliable brownout detection even during deep supply sag - critical for systems recovering from low-energy states or capacitor discharge events.
Is TPS3306-33DR pin-compatible with other members of the TPS3306 family?
Yes, all TPS3306-x variants (including TPS3306-15DR, TPS3306-25DR, and TPS3306-33DR) share identical SOIC-8 pinout and package dimensions. Only the internal voltage thresholds differ - enabling drop-in replacement when adjusting for different rail combinations without PCB modification.
