Product details
Overview
TPS3435CAKAGDDFRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive watchdog timer IC with factory-programmed 1.6s watchdog timeout, ±10% accuracy, 200ms open-drain WDO assert time, 1.04V–6.0V supply range, and 250nA typical supply current. It serves as a precision system health monitor in safety-critical ECUs requiring ultra-low-power fault detection.
For engineers reviewing the TPS3435CAKAGDDFRQ1 datasheet, TPS3435CAKAGDDFRQ1 pinout, TPS3435CAKAGDDFRQ1 application, or TPS3435CAKAGDDFRQ1 equivalent, this page delivers verified timing accuracy, pin-confirmed SOT-23-8 configuration, automotive-grade reset behavior, and validated alternatives for BMS, camera ECU, and wireless charging systems.
Technical Context
The TPS3435CAKAGDDFRQ1 implements a capacitor-sensed, high-accuracy timeout watchdog using internal current-source-based capacitance measurement-eliminating continuous CWD charging/discharging to maintain sub-µA quiescent current. Its tWD = 1.6s is factory-fixed per orderable part number and does not require external capacitor programming.
It supports startup delay bypass (tSD = 0), on-the-fly timer scaling via SET[1:0] pins (1×/2×/4×), latched open-drain WDO output, MR-triggered reset assertion, and watchdog enable/disable via WD-EN pin-features enabled by Pinout Option C per TI's mechanical documentation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Watchdog Timeout (tWD) | 1.6 s ±10% - factory-programmed fixed value; no external capacitor required for this variant. |
| WDO Assert Time (tWDO) | 200 ms - fixed open-drain output pulse duration; ensures sufficient hold time for host processor recovery. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.04 V to 6.0 V - supports wide-input automotive power rails including post-regulated 1.8V/3.3V/5V domains. |
| Quiescent Current (IDD) | 250 nA typical - enables always-on monitoring in battery-backed systems without measurable drain. |
| Ambient Temp Range | –40°C to +125°C - AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification confirmed; suitable for under-hood and ADAS ECU placement. |
| Output Topology | Open-drain, active-low WDO - requires external pull-up; compatible with mixed-voltage logic interfaces. |
| Startup Delay (tSD) | 0 ms - immediate watchdog monitoring after POR; no boot-time grace period applied. |
Pinout & Package
TPS3435CAKAGDDFRQ1 uses the DDF package: 8-pin SOT-23 with nominal body size 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm. This variant implements Pinout Option C per TI documentation, featuring dedicated WD-EN control and dual SET inputs for on-the-fly scaling.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | Power supply input | Accepts 1.04–6.0 V; bypass capacitor recommended for noise immunity in automotive environments. |
| WDI | Watchdog input | Falling-edge-triggered; must be toggled before tWD expires to prevent WDO assertion. |
| WD-EN | Watchdog enable/disable control | Logic-high enables watchdog; logic-low disables monitoring-no reset required to re-enable. |
| SET0 / SET1 | Timer scaling select | Configures real-time tWD multiplication factor (1×, 2×, or 4×) without interrupting ongoing watchdog frame. |
| MR | Manual reset input | Active-low asynchronous reset; asserts WDO immediately regardless of watchdog state. |
| WDO | Watchdog output | Open-drain, active-low; sinks up to 5 mA; requires external pull-up to VDD or another rail. |
| GND | Ground reference | Single ground pin; layout best practice requires low-inductance connection to system ground plane. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Latched WDO operation | WDO remains asserted until cleared by MR deassertion or power cycle-prevents transient recovery from masking faults. |
| On-the-fly timer scaling | SET[1:0] pins dynamically adjust tWD by 1×/2×/4× during runtime-enables adaptive timeout for sleep/wake transitions. |
| Ultra-low IQ architecture | 250 nA typical IDD achieved via single-cycle capacitance sensing-no continuous oscillator or RC discharge overhead. |
| Automotive-grade reliability | AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified with ±2000 V HBM ESD rating-validated for 15-year field life in harsh vehicular environments. |
| MR-initiated fault capture | MR pin triggers immediate WDO assertion independent of WDI activity-supports hardware-level emergency shutdown signaling. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar timeout watchdog timer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3431QDBVRQ1 | Fixed 2.0s timeout, no SET pin scaling, same SOT-23-6 package but fewer I/Os | Lacks WD-EN and programmable tWDO; limited to basic watchdog use without adaptive timing | Select when only static timeout and minimal pin count are required-no runtime scaling or latched output needed. |
| MAX6373KA+T | ±2% initial accuracy, 1.6s fixed timeout, push-pull output, wider temp range (–40°C to +125°C) | Higher accuracy but lacks MR input and on-the-fly scaling; not AEC-Q100 qualified | Choose for non-automotive industrial systems needing tighter timing tolerance and simpler output drive. |
Compared with TPS3435CAKAGDDFRQ1, TPS3431QDBVRQ1 offers reduced feature set and smaller footprint but no runtime adaptability, while MAX6373KA+T provides superior accuracy and push-pull drive at the cost of automotive qualification and system-level control features.

FAQ
What is the watchdog timeout value for TPS3435CAKAGDDFRQ1?
The TPS3435CAKAGDDFRQ1 has a factory-programmed watchdog timeout (tWD) of 1.6 seconds with ±10% accuracy across –40°C to +125°C. This value is fixed per orderable part number and does not require external capacitor programming-unlike adjustable variants in the same family.
Does TPS3435CAKAGDDFRQ1 support latched output behavior?
Yes, TPS3435CAKAGDDFRQ1 supports latched WDO operation. Once asserted due to watchdog timeout or MR activation, the open-drain WDO output remains low until manually cleared by releasing the MR pin or performing a power cycle-ensuring fault persistence for downstream diagnostics.
What package and pinout does TPS3435CAKAGDDFRQ1 use?
TPS3435CAKAGDDFRQ1 uses the DDF package: an 8-pin SOT-23 with 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm body. It implements Pinout Option C, featuring dedicated WD-EN, SET0, SET1, MR, WDI, WDO, VDD, and GND terminals-confirmed in TI's official pin configuration diagrams.
Can the watchdog timeout be adjusted on-the-fly for TPS3435CAKAGDDFRQ1?
Yes, TPS3435CAKAGDDFRQ1 supports real-time tWD scaling via SET0 and SET1 pins. With Pinout Option C, these inputs configure multiplier factors of 1×, 2×, or 4×-allowing dynamic extension to 3.2s or 6.4s without resetting the watchdog frame or disrupting system operation.
Is TPS3435CAKAGDDFRQ1 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, TPS3435CAKAGDDFRQ1 is AEC-Q100 qualified for Grade 1 (–40°C to +125°C ambient), with documented HBM ESD rating of ±2000 V and full production data validation. It meets functional safety requirements for ASIL-B–capable systems in battery management, camera, and charging ECUs.
