Product details
Overview
TPS3705-30DR from Texas Instruments is a precision processor supervisory IC with integrated watchdog timer, 2.63 V supply voltage monitoring threshold, 200 ms power-on reset delay, and power-fail comparator functionality. It operates over –40°C to 85°C and supports microcontroller-based systems requiring reliable power sequencing and fault detection in industrial control and portable equipment.
For engineers reviewing the TPS3705-30DR datasheet, TPS3705-30DR pinout, TPS3705-30DR application, or TPS3705-30DR equivalent, key selection criteria include its fixed 2.63 V VIT– threshold, active-low RESET output, WDI/WDO watchdog interface, PFI/PFO power-fail signaling, and compatibility with MSP430 and similar low-power MCUs.
Technical Context
The TPS3705-30DR integrates a precision bandgap reference (1.25 V), dual comparators for VDD and PFI supervision, and a monostable watchdog timer with 1.6 s timeout. Its reset logic asserts active-low RESET when VDD falls below 2.63 V or rises above it with 200 ms delay, while the watchdog requires periodic WDI transitions to prevent WDO assertion.
It implements hysteresis (50 mV on VDD, 10 mV on PFI) to reject noise-induced false triggers and uses internal resistor dividers for threshold setting-no external components required for basic operation. The device supports manual reset via MR and delivers <50 µA quiescent current across 2–6 V supply range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIT– Threshold | 2.63 V (precision negative-going supply monitor; ensures stable reset release at nominal 3.0 V rail) |
| Reset Delay | 200 ms (fixed internal timing; eliminates need for external capacitor in power-on sequencing) |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6 s (typical; provides fail-safe recovery window for firmware hangs without external timing elements) |
| Supply Current | 50 µA max (enables long battery life in portable and low-power embedded systems) |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to 85°C (supports industrial-grade reliability without derating) |
| PFI Input Range | 0–VDD (allows flexible external voltage divider for secondary rail monitoring, e.g., 12 V via 910k/120k) |
| Output Drive | 1 mA sink (RESET), 500 µA source (WDO); sufficient for direct MCU NMI or GPIO interfacing) |
Pinout & Package
TPS3705-30DR is available in 8-pin SOIC (D package, 3.90 mm × 4.90 mm) and 8-pin MSOP-PowerPAD™ (DGN package, 3.00 mm × 3.00 mm). Both packages support standard PCB assembly and thermal dissipation up to 725 mW (SOIC) or 2.14 W (MSOP-PowerPAD).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 MR | Manual Reset Input | Active-low input; forces RESET assertion independent of VDD level-used for system-initiated resets or brownout recovery |
| 2 VDD | Supply Voltage Input | Primary power rail (2–6 V); powers internal reference, comparators, and watchdog oscillator |
| 3 GND | Ground Reference | Return path for all internal circuits and output drivers; must be low-impedance for noise immunity |
| 4 PFI | Power-Fail Input | Analog comparator input for secondary voltage monitoring (e.g., battery or auxiliary rail); threshold = 1.25 V |
| 5 PFO | Power-Fail Output | Active-low open-drain output; signals PFI threshold breach-requires external pull-up for MCU interrupt |
| 6 WDI | Watchdog Input | Edge-sensitive input; rising or falling transition resets watchdog timer-must be toggled within 1.6 s |
| 7 RESET | Reset Output | Active-low open-drain reset signal; drives MCU reset pin directly or via pull-up; 200 ms delay on power-up |
| 8 WDO | Watchdog Output | Active-low open-drain watchdog timeout signal; used for system-level fault escalation or backup reset generation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Watchdog Timer | 1.6 s timeout with edge-triggered WDI-eliminates need for external RC or dedicated watchdog IC in safety-critical firmware |
| Fixed 200 ms Power-On Reset | No external capacitor required-reduces BOM count and layout area while ensuring deterministic boot timing |
| Dual Supervision Channels | Simultaneous VDD (2.63 V) and PFI (1.25 V) monitoring enables primary rail + battery/auxiliary rail supervision in one device |
| Low Quiescent Current | 50 µA max-extends operational lifetime in battery-powered applications such as handheld instruments and remote sensors |
| Industrial Temperature Range | –40°C to 85°C operation-guarantees performance across factory floors, outdoor enclosures, and automotive under-hood environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar processor supervision applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX706R | 2.63 V threshold, no watchdog timer, 200 ms reset delay, SOIC-8 only | Lacks WDI/WDO interface; suitable only where watchdog is implemented in firmware or external circuit | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for hardware watchdog and MSOP packaging is not required |
| TPS3808G33 | 2.93 V threshold, adjustable reset delay (1–10 s), 2.5 µA IQ, no PFI/PFO | Higher threshold and programmable delay suit 3.3 V systems needing longer initialization; lacks power-fail monitoring | Choose for ultra-low-power designs with precise delay tuning but no secondary rail monitoring requirement |
Compared with MAX706R and TPS3808G33, the TPS3705-30DR uniquely combines fixed 2.63 V supervision, integrated watchdog, and dual-rail monitoring in a single 8-pin package-making it optimal for space-constrained, safety-aware embedded systems requiring both reset and power-fail signaling.

FAQ
What is the exact supply voltage threshold monitored by the TPS3705-30DR?
The TPS3705-30DR monitors VDD with a precise negative-going threshold (VIT–) of 2.63 V, with ±70 mV hysteresis. This value is factory-trimmed and guaranteed over –40°C to 85°C. It is designed for use with nominal 3.0 V systems, ensuring reset assertion before critical logic levels degrade.
Does the TPS3705-30DR require an external capacitor for reset timing?
No, the TPS3705-30DR features an internal 200 ms power-on reset timer-no external capacitor is needed. This simplifies layout, reduces BOM count, and improves timing consistency across temperature and voltage variations compared to RC-based solutions.
How does the watchdog function operate on the TPS3705-30DR?
The TPS3705-30DR watchdog requires a rising or falling edge on WDI at least once every 1.6 s (typical). If missed, WDO goes active-low. Leaving WDI unconnected disables the watchdog. The timer is independent of VDD monitoring and resets on each valid WDI transition.
Can the TPS3705-30DR monitor a 12 V supply rail?
Yes-the PFI input accepts voltages up to VDD + 0.3 V and is referenced to an internal 1.25 V comparator. Using a resistor divider (e.g., 910 kΩ/120 kΩ), the TPS3705-30DR can accurately detect 12 V drops below ~10.7 V, generating a PFO interrupt for power-fail warning.
What package options are available for the TPS3705-30DR?
The TPS3705-30DR is offered in two industry-standard packages: 8-pin SOIC (D, 3.90 mm × 4.90 mm) and 8-pin MSOP-PowerPAD™ (DGN, 3.00 mm × 3.00 mm). Both are RoHS-compliant, lead-free, and supported by full thermal and reliability characterization data.
