Product details
Overview
TPS3620-33DGKT from Texas Instruments is a 3.3-V backup-battery supervisor IC with integrated switchover MOSFET, precision reset threshold (2.93 V typ), 100-ms power-on reset delay, and ultra-low battery-supply current (100 nA max). It monitors VDD and VBAT to maintain CMOS RAM retention during main power failure in portable or automotive systems.
For engineers reviewing the TPS3620-33DGKT datasheet, TPS3620-33DGKT pinout, TPS3620-33DGKT application, or TPS3620-33DGKT equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-supply switchover capability, PFI/PFO power-fail detection, MR input for manual reset, and MSOP-8 package compatibility with space-constrained embedded designs.
Technical Context
The TPS3620-33DGKT implements a dual-path supply architecture: a 1-Ω (max) PMOS switch connects VDD to VOUT during normal operation, while a 15-Ω (typ) NMOS switch enables VBAT-to-VOUT switchover when VDD falls below 2.93 V. Its internal 1.15-V reference drives both the VDD supervisor and independent PFI comparator.
Reset assertion occurs at power-up when VDD exceeds 1.1 V, then remains active until VDD rises above 2.93 V and sustains that level for 100 ms; subsequent brownouts reassert RESET within 2–5 µs propagation delay. The device operates across –40°C to +85°C with no external components required for basic supervision.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal Supply Voltage | 3.3 V - Sets reset threshold at 2.93 V (–1.5% hysteresis), compatible with standard 3.3-V logic rails. |
| Reset Threshold Accuracy | ±2.5% over temperature - Ensures reliable microcontroller reset timing across industrial temperature range. |
| VDD Supply Current | 40 µA max - Minimizes primary supply loading in always-on monitoring applications. |
| VBAT Supply Current | 100 nA max - Enables multi-year battery-backed RAM retention using coin-cell or lithium sources. |
| Power-On Reset Delay | Fixed 100 ms - Guarantees stable core voltage before releasing processor from reset state. |
| VDD-to-VOUT rDS(on) | 0.6 Ω max - Limits voltage drop and power loss under 300-mA load during main supply operation. |
| PFI Threshold | 1.15 V ±12 mV hysteresis - Allows configurable power-fail detection via external resistor divider on any rail ≥1.65 V. |
Pinout & Package
The TPS3620-33DGKT is housed in an 8-pin VSSOP (DGK) package measuring 3.05 mm × 4.98 mm with 0.65-mm lead pitch and 1.1-mm maximum height. Exposed thermal pad improves power dissipation in high-current switchover scenarios.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VOUT (Pin 1) | Output supply rail | Switched output connected to VDD (normal mode) or VBAT (backup mode); delivers up to 300 mA. |
| VDD (Pin 2) | Main supply input | Primary power source; powers internal circuitry and controls VDD-to-VOUT switch activation. |
| GND (Pin 3) | Ground reference | Common return path for all analog and digital functions; must be low-impedance for accurate threshold sensing. |
| PFI (Pin 4) | Power-fail input | Analog comparator input referenced to 1.15 V; detects falling voltage on external rails via resistor divider. |
| PFO (Pin 5) | Power-fail output | Active-low open-drain signal indicating PFI voltage has dropped below threshold. |
| RESET (Pin 7) | Reset output | Active-low open-drain reset signal with 100-ms delay; asserts during VDD brownout or startup. |
| MR (Pin 6) | Manual reset input | Active-low asynchronous reset trigger; debounced internally, requires >100 ns pulse width. |
| VBAT (Pin 8) | Backup battery input | Secondary supply source; automatically engages when VDD < 2.93 V and VBAT > VDD. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Backup-battery switchover | Automatic VBAT engagement when VDD drops below 2.93 V, preserving RAM data without software intervention. |
| Ultra-low battery current | 100 nA max VBAT quiescent draw extends shelf life of lithium or coin-cell backup sources beyond 10 years. |
| Dual independent comparators | Separate VDD supervisor and PFI comparator enable simultaneous monitoring of main rail and auxiliary supplies. |
| Fixed 100-ms reset timer | Guaranteed minimum reset pulse width eliminates need for external RC timing components. |
| MSOP-8 package | 3.05 mm × 4.98 mm footprint supports high-density PCB layouts in portable and automotive modules. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar backup-battery supervision applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3619-33DGKR | Includes battery freshness seal; otherwise identical electrical specs and pinout. | Required only when end-product assembly includes pre-installation of backup battery prior to final commissioning. | Select TPS3619-33DGKR if battery must remain isolated until first power-up; otherwise TPS3620-33DGKT is direct functional replacement. |
| MAX819MESA+ | 3.3-V supervisor with 140-ms reset timeout; no VBAT switchover or PFI/PFO functionality. | Limited to single-rail reset generation; cannot support RAM backup or auxiliary supply monitoring. | Choose MAX819MESA+ only for cost-sensitive designs needing basic reset only-no battery management or power-fail detection. |
Compared with TPS3619-33DGKR, TPS3620-33DGKT omits the battery freshness seal but retains full switchover and PFI capability; versus MAX819MESA+, it adds critical dual-supply control and failsafe monitoring essential for data-retention systems.

FAQ
What is the reset threshold voltage of the TPS3620-33DGKT?
The TPS3620-33DGKT has a nominal reset threshold of 2.93 V with ±2.5% accuracy over –40°C to +85°C. This value is factory-trimmed and specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under VIT– parameter. The threshold is fixed for the -33 variant and applies to VDD monitoring; it triggers RESET assertion when VDD falls below this level and releases RESET after VDD rises above it and sustains for 100 ms. The TPS3620-33DGKT does not support adjustable thresholds.
Does the TPS3620-33DGKT support automatic switchover between VDD and VBAT?
Yes, the TPS3620-33DGKT supports fully automatic switchover: when VDD falls below the 2.93-V reset threshold and VBAT exceeds VDD, the internal 15-Ω NMOS switch connects VBAT to VOUT to maintain power to attached RAM or RTC. When VDD recovers above VIT, the 1-Ω PMOS switch reconnects VDD to VOUT. No external control signals or firmware intervention are required for this transition in the TPS3620-33DGKT.
Can the TPS3620-33DGKT monitor a secondary supply rail other than VDD?
Yes, the TPS3620-33DGKT includes a dedicated PFI (power-fail input) pin referenced to an internal 1.15-V comparator. By connecting a resistor divider from the secondary rail to GND with PFI at the midpoint, users can configure detection of any voltage ≥1.65 V. The PFO output goes low when the divided voltage drops below 1.15 V, providing a separate power-fail alert independent of VDD supervision in the TPS3620-33DGKT.
What is the maximum continuous output current supported by the TPS3620-33DGKT?
The TPS3620-33DGKT supports up to 300 mA continuous output current at VOUT in either VDD or VBAT mode. This rating is confirmed in the Recommended Operating Conditions table. Derating applies above +70°C ambient per the Dissipation Rating Table; at +85°C, maximum power dissipation is 241 mW. The VDD-to-VOUT rDS(on) is 0.6 Ω max, limiting voltage drop to <180 mV at 300 mA, ensuring stable operation for typical SRAM and RTC loads in the TPS3620-33DGKT.
Is the TPS3620-33DGKT pin-compatible with industry-standard supervisors like MAX819?
Yes, the TPS3620-33DGKT is explicitly stated as pin-for-pin compatible with MAX819, MAX703, and MAX704 in the Features section of the datasheet. All share the same 8-pin MSOP (DGK) footprint, VDD/VOUT/GND/RESET/MR/PFI/PFO pin assignments, and functional behavior for basic reset generation. However, the TPS3620-33DGKT adds VBAT switchover and PFI/PFO capability not present in those legacy parts-making it a functional superset while maintaining mechanical and electrical drop-in compatibility.
