Product details
Overview
TPS3307-18DGN from Texas Instruments is a triple-voltage supervisory IC designed for DSP, microcontroller, and microprocessor systems requiring independent monitoring of 3.3V, 1.8V, and an adjustable supply (≥1.25V). It delivers fixed 200ms power-on reset delay, operates from 2V to 6V supply, draws ≤40µA, and features dual active-low/high RESET outputs with defined assertion down to VDD ≥1.1V. Used in industrial controls and portable equipment where multi-rail power integrity is critical.
For engineers reviewing the TPS3307-18DGN datasheet, TPS3307-18DGN pinout, TPS3307-18DGN application, or TPS3307-18DGN equivalent, this page provides verified functional specifications, package-validated terminal roles, temperature-compensated threshold behavior across all three sense inputs, and real-world design implications of its dual-reset architecture and manual reset input.
Technical Context
The TPS3307-18DGN integrates three independent voltage comparators with temperature-compensated 1.25V reference, each driving a shared reset logic block with internal 200ms timer. Its SENSE1/SENSE2 thresholds are factory-set at 2.93V (for 3.3V rail) and 1.68V (for 1.8V rail), while SENSE3 uses the same 1.25V reference for user-defined monitoring via external resistor divider.
RESET assertion occurs when any SENSEn falls below its respective VIT– threshold (e.g., 1.64V for SENSE2), and deassertion requires all SENSEn to exceed their VIT+ thresholds plus 200ms delay. MR input overrides all sense conditions with sub-500ns propagation to both RESET outputs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply voltage range | 2V to 6V - supports operation across common logic rails including 3.3V, 2.5V, and 1.8V I/O domains. |
| SENSE1 threshold (VIT+) | 2.93V (typ) - monitors nominal 3.3V supply with ±3% hysteresis; ensures reliable detection of brownout on main system rail. |
| SENSE2 threshold (VIT+) | 1.68V (typ) - monitors nominal 1.8V core supply; enables early detection of core voltage collapse before logic failure. |
| SENSE3 reference | 1.25V (typ), ±2.4% over –40°C to +85°C - provides stable basis for custom voltage monitoring via external resistor divider. |
| Reset delay time | 200ms (typ), 140–280ms (min–max) - guarantees sufficient hold time for processor initialization without external capacitor. |
| Supply current (IDD) | 40µA (max) - enables use in battery-powered applications with minimal impact on standby power budget. |
| Operating temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and automotive under-hood environments with full parameter performance. |
Pinout & Package
HVSSOP-8 (DGN) package: 3mm × 3mm, 0.65mm pitch, exposed thermal pad, 1.1mm max height. Pin 1 index area marked; RoHS-compliant NiPdAu lead finish; MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - SENSE1 | Voltage monitor input | Fixed 2.93V threshold comparator input for 3.3V rail; requires 0.1µF bypass capacitor near pin for stability. |
| 2 - SENSE2 | Voltage monitor input | Fixed 1.68V threshold comparator input for 1.8V rail; shares same internal reference as SENSE3. |
| 3 - SENSE3 | Adjustable monitor input | Connects to 1.25V reference; external resistor divider sets custom threshold for any supply >1.25V. |
| 4 - GND | Ground reference | Analog and digital ground return; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling into sense comparators. |
| 5 - RESET | Active-low output | Open-drain output; requires external pull-up; asserts low during power-up, brownout, or MR activation. |
| 6 - RESET | Active-high output | Push-pull output; drives high during normal operation; complements active-low RESET for mixed-logic systems. |
| 7 - MR | Manual reset input | Active-low asynchronous reset trigger; debounced internally; overrides all sense conditions with <500ns response. |
| 8 - VDD | Power supply input | Primary supply for internal circuitry; powers comparators, timer, and output drivers; must be decoupled with 0.1µF ceramic. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple independent voltage supervision | Monitors three distinct rails simultaneously - eliminates need for multiple discrete supervisors and reduces BOM count by 2–3 devices. |
| Fixed 200ms reset delay | No external timing capacitor required - simplifies layout, improves reliability, and removes capacitor aging/tolerance dependencies. |
| Dual RESET outputs (active-low + active-high) | Direct interface to both open-drain and push-pull reset inputs - avoids level-shifting or inverter logic in mixed-voltage systems. |
| Temperature-compensated 1.25V reference | ±2.4% drift over –40°C to +85°C - enables accurate adjustable monitoring across industrial temperature range without calibration. |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 40µA max at 6V - extends battery life in portable systems and reduces self-heating in thermally constrained enclosures. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar triple-supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3307-18D | SOIC-8 package (4.9mm × 3.9mm); higher thermal resistance (17.1mW/°C derating vs. DGN's 17.1mW/°C but lower absolute power rating); identical electrical specs. | Preferred for through-hole prototyping or legacy board compatibility; less suitable for space-constrained PCBs. | Select TPS3307-18D when SOIC footprint is mandated or thermal dissipation is not limiting. |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single-channel supervisor with adjustable threshold; no SENSE2/SENSE3; different reset delay (200ms fixed but requires external cap); 1.8V–6.5V supply. | Only monitors one rail; requires two additional supervisors to match TPS3307-18DGN's triple functionality. | Choose only if system needs only one monitored rail and board area is extremely limited - not a functional replacement. |
Compared with TPS3307-18D and TPS3808G33DBVR, the TPS3307-18DGN offers the smallest footprint (3mm × 3mm) while retaining full triple-supervision capability and dual-reset outputs - making it optimal for high-density industrial and portable designs where space and integration are critical.

FAQ
What is the minimum VDD required for TPS3307-18DGN to assert RESET?
The TPS3307-18DGN asserts RESET when VDD rises above 1.1V, enabling reliable power-on reset even during severe brownout conditions. This threshold is guaranteed across –40°C to +85°C and ensures the device remains functional and responsive well before most MCUs reach operational voltage. The TPS3307-18DGN maintains defined output states down to this level, supporting fail-safe system initialization.
How do I configure SENSE3 for monitoring a 2.7V supply with TPS3307-18DGN?
To monitor 2.7V on SENSE3, use a resistor divider that scales 2.7V down to 1.25V at the pin. For example, R1 = 115kΩ (top, connected to 2.7V), R2 = 100kΩ (bottom, to GND) yields 1.257V at SENSE3 - within ±2.4% tolerance of the internal 1.25V reference. The TPS3307-18DGN's low input bias current (<25nA) ensures minimal divider error.
Does TPS3307-18DGN require an external capacitor for its 200ms reset delay?
No, the TPS3307-18DGN integrates a precision internal timer for its 200ms reset delay - no external capacitor is needed. This eliminates component count, placement uncertainty, and capacitor aging effects. The delay is factory-trimmed and specified from 140ms to 280ms over temperature, ensuring consistent reset timing across all units of TPS3307-18DGN.
Can TPS3307-18DGN monitor a 5V supply?
The TPS3307-18DGN does not have a factory-set 5V threshold; its SENSE1 and SENSE2 are fixed at 2.93V and 1.68V respectively. However, SENSE3 can monitor any supply ≥1.25V using an external resistor divider - so a 5V rail can be scaled to 1.25V and reliably supervised. The TPS3307-18DGN's VDD range (2V–6V) fully supports operation from a 5V supply.
What is the purpose of the dual RESET outputs on TPS3307-18DGN?
The TPS3307-18DGN provides both active-low (pin 5) and active-high (pin 6) RESET outputs to interface natively with diverse MCU and FPGA reset architectures - some require open-drain low-active signals, others need push-pull high-active asserts. This eliminates external inverters or pull-up resistors, reducing BOM cost and board area. Both outputs are synchronized and reflect identical reset state in the TPS3307-18DGN.
