Product details
Overview
TPS3307-18DG4 from Texas Instruments is a triple-voltage supervisor IC designed for DSP, microcontroller, and microprocessor power sequencing and reset management. It monitors three independent supply rails-3.3V (SENSE1), 1.8V (SENSE2), and an adjustable voltage ≥1.25V (SENSE3)-with fixed 200ms reset delay, 40µA supply current, and operation from 2V to 6V VDD. It is used in industrial programmable controllers requiring reliable multi-rail power-up validation.
For engineers reviewing the TPS3307-18DG4 datasheet, TPS3307-18DG4 pinout, TPS3307-18DG4 application, or TPS3307-18DG4 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact threshold voltages per sense input, dual active-high/active-low RESET outputs, SOIC-8 package details, and validated alternatives for multi-supply monitoring in embedded systems.
Technical Context
The TPS3307-18DG4 implements a temperature-compensated bandgap reference to generate precise, stable thresholds: 2.93V (SENSE1), 1.68V (SENSE2), and 1.25V (SENSE3). Its internal 200ms reset timer initiates only after all three SENSE inputs exceed their respective VIT+ thresholds, ensuring synchronized system initialization.
It features manual reset (MR) with 0.3×VDD low-level threshold, dual complementary RESET outputs (active-low and active-high), and hysteresis (30mV typical at 2.93V, 15mV at 1.68V) to prevent chatter during supply transients. All SENSE inputs tolerate up to (VDD + 0.3)V, supporting flexible external resistor-divider configurations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDD Range | 2V to 6V - supports wide-input industrial and battery-backed systems without external regulation. |
| SENSE1 Threshold | 2.93V (typ) - precisely monitors nominal 3.3V rail with ±3% tolerance over –40°C to +85°C. |
| SENSE2 Threshold | 1.68V (typ) - targets 1.8V core supplies with 1.25V hysteresis margin for noise immunity. |
| SENSE3 Threshold | 1.25V (fixed) - enables monitoring of any user-defined rail ≥1.25V via external resistor divider. |
| Reset Delay | 200ms (typ) - factory-trimmed, capacitor-free timing ensures deterministic power-on sequence. |
| Supply Current | 40µA (max) - ultra-low quiescent current extends battery life in portable equipment. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar triple-voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3307-18DGN | HVSSOP-8 (2.3mm × 2.0mm) vs SOIC-8 (4.9mm × 3.9mm); identical electrical specs and pinout. | Preferred for space-constrained PCBs; requires thermal pad layout and reflow profile adjustment. | Select TPS3307-18DGN when board area is limited and thermal management via exposed pad is feasible. |
| MAX6816TPA+ | Single 3.3V supervisor (not triple); 200ms delay; 1.5µA quiescent current; no adjustable SENSE input. | Suitable only for single-rail monitoring; lacks SENSE2/SENSE3 capability and dual RESET outputs. | Choose MAX6816TPA+ only for cost-sensitive, single-supply designs where triple monitoring is unnecessary. |
Compared with TPS3307-18DG4, TPS3307-18DGN offers identical functionality in a smaller footprint but demands revised layout and thermal design, while MAX6816TPA+ reduces complexity and power at the expense of multi-rail supervision capability and output flexibility.

FAQ
What is the exact SENSE1, SENSE2, and SENSE3 threshold voltage for TPS3307-18DG4?
The TPS3307-18DG4 has factory-trimmed thresholds: SENSE1 = 2.93V (typ), SENSE2 = 1.68V (typ), and SENSE3 = 1.25V (fixed). These values are specified over –40°C to +85°C and include hysteresis (30mV for SENSE1, 15mV for SENSE2, 10mV for SENSE3) to reject noise. The TPS3307-18DG4 datasheet confirms these values in the Electrical Characteristics table under "VSENSE1", "VSENSE2", and "VSENSE3" parameters.
Does TPS3307-18DG4 require an external capacitor for the reset delay?
No, the TPS3307-18DG4 integrates a factory-trimmed 200ms reset delay timer - no external capacitor is needed. This eliminates component count, placement error risk, and timing variation due to capacitor tolerance or aging. The TPS3307-18DG4 achieves this using an internal oscillator and counter, confirmed in the Functional Description section of the TI datasheet SLVS199C.
Can TPS3307-18DG4 monitor a 2.5V rail?
TPS3307-18DG4 cannot directly monitor a 2.5V rail on SENSE2 (fixed at 1.68V) or SENSE1 (fixed at 2.93V), but it can monitor 2.5V via SENSE3 using an external resistor divider. Since SENSE3 has a fixed 1.25V threshold, a 2:1 divider (e.g., 100kΩ + 100kΩ) scales 2.5V to 1.25V. The TPS3307-18DG4 datasheet explicitly states SENSE3 is "user defined" and supports any voltage >1.25V with proper division.
What is the maximum sink current capability of the active-low RESET output on TPS3307-18DG4?
The active-low RESET output on TPS3307-18DG4 is open-drain and rated for a maximum sink current (IOL) of 5mA at VOL ≤ 0.4V (VDD = 3.3V). This allows direct interfacing with most microcontrollers' reset inputs without additional buffering. The TPS3307-18DG4 Electrical Characteristics table specifies IOL = 5mA under "Low-level output voltage" test conditions.
Is TPS3307-18DG4 pin-compatible with other members of the TPS3307 family?
Yes, all TPS3307-x variants (including TPS3307-18DG4, TPS3307-25D, and TPS3307-33D) share identical SOIC-8 pinout and function mapping. Only the SENSE1/SENSE2 thresholds differ; SENSE3 remains 1.25V across the family. This allows hardware reuse across designs targeting different supply combinations - the TPS3307-18DG4 pinout matches Table 2 "Terminal Functions" in the official datasheet.
