Product details
Overview
TPS3705-33D from Texas Instruments is a precision 3.3 V supply-voltage supervisory IC with integrated watchdog timer, power-fail comparator, and manual reset input. It delivers 200 ms power-on reset delay, 2.93 V VIT– threshold (–40°C to 125°C), ≤50 µA supply current, and active-low RESET output in an 8-pin SOIC package. It is used in automotive engine control units for reliable microprocessor initialization under wide-temperature conditions.
For engineers reviewing the TPS3705-33D datasheet, TPS3705-33D pinout, TPS3705-33D application, or TPS3705-33D equivalent, key selection criteria include its extended temperature rating (–40°C to 125°C), watchdog timeout of 1.6 s, PFI/PFO low-battery warning capability, and compatibility with MSP430-based systems requiring robust reset supervision.
Technical Context
The TPS3705-33D implements dual supervision: a precision bandgap-referenced VDD monitor with 50 mV hysteresis and a separate PFI comparator with 10 mV hysteresis. Its internal watchdog timer requires periodic WDI transitions and asserts WDO after 1.1–2.3 s timeout if unrefreshed.
It operates across 2 V to 6 V supply range, asserts RESET when VDD drops below 2.93 V (±70 mV over full temperature), and guarantees propagation delays of ≤250 ns (MR→RESET) and ≤1 µs (PFI→PFO). No external capacitor is needed for reset timing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIT– Threshold | 2.93 V (nominal), ±70 mV over –40°C to 125°C - ensures stable 3.3 V rail monitoring across automotive-grade thermal stress |
| Reset Delay | 200 ms fixed - provides sufficient time for power stabilization before processor release, no external RC required |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.1–2.3 s - enables reliable system-level fault detection without software intervention |
| Supply Current | 30–50 µA - supports ultra-low-power battery-backed applications and reduces quiescent load on main rail |
| PFI Comparator Range | 1.2–1.3 V input threshold - allows flexible external resistor-divider configuration for secondary voltage monitoring (e.g., 12 V or 5 V rails) |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to 125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial control environments |
| Output Drive | 1 mA sink at 0.3 V - directly interfaces with standard CMOS inputs without pull-up resistors |
Pinout & Package
TPS3705-33D is supplied in an 8-pin SOIC (D) package, 3.90 mm × 4.90 mm body size, with exposed pad not present. Pin functions are validated per TI SLVS184F Rev F (October 2020).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 MR | Manual Reset Input | Active-low input; pulling low forces immediate RESET assertion - used for user-triggered or firmware-initiated system reset |
| 2 VDD | Supply Voltage Input | Primary power rail (2–6 V); powers internal reference, comparators, and logic - must be decoupled with 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor |
| 3 GND | Ground Reference | Return path for all internal circuits and outputs - connects to system ground plane for noise immunity |
| 4 PFI | Power-Fail Input | Analog input for secondary voltage monitoring; triggers PFO when voltage falls below 1.25 V - enables low-battery or auxiliary rail failure detection |
| 5 PFO | Power-Fail Output | Open-drain active-low output; signals PFI threshold breach - drives interrupt lines or status LEDs without external pull-up if loaded |
| 6 WDI | Watchdog Input | Edge-sensitive input; rising or falling transition resets watchdog timer - connected to MCU GPIO for periodic refresh |
| 7 RESET | Reset Output | Active-low open-drain output; asserts during power-up, brownout, or watchdog timeout - requires external pull-up to VCC of monitored processor |
| 8 WDO | Watchdog Output | Active-low open-drain output; asserts when watchdog expires - used for independent fault logging or backup controller activation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Watchdog Timer | Self-contained 1.6 s timeout (typ.) with WDI edge-triggering - eliminates need for external timer IC or software watchdog implementation |
| Fixed 200 ms Power-On Reset | No external capacitor required - simplifies BOM, improves timing accuracy vs. RC-based solutions, and enhances production yield |
| Dual Independent Supervision | Simultaneous VDD monitoring (2.93 V) and PFI monitoring (1.25 V) - supports multi-rail systems like automotive ECUs with 3.3 V core + 12 V sensor supply |
| Extended Temperature Operation | –40°C to 125°C guaranteed performance - meets AEC-Q100 Grade 1 requirements for engine compartment deployment |
| Low Quiescent Current | ≤50 µA max - extends battery life in always-on telematics modules and enables use in energy-harvesting subsystems |
| Pin Compatibility | Pin-for-pin compatible with MAX705–MAX708 series - allows drop-in replacement in legacy designs without PCB revision |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar supervisory circuit applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3705-33DGN | Same electrical specs and watchdog functionality, but in 3.00 mm × 3.00 mm MSOP-PowerPAD package with lower RθJA (66.1°C/W vs. 118.2°C/W) | Better thermal performance in space-constrained, high-density layouts; requires different footprint and soldering profile | Select DGN for thermally demanding applications or compact PCBs where SOIC real estate is limited |
| MAX706CSA+ | Pin-compatible but lacks watchdog timer; 3.08 V threshold (±1.5%), 200 ms reset, –40°C to 85°C only, higher 60 µA IDD | Suitable for cost-sensitive, non-safety-critical applications where watchdog is unnecessary and extended temperature is not required | Choose MAX706CSA+ only if design does not require watchdog supervision and operates within commercial temperature range |
Compared with TPS3705-33DGN, the TPS3705-33D offers identical supervision features but trades thermal efficiency for SOIC manufacturability and legacy footprint compatibility; versus MAX706CSA+, it adds watchdog capability and extends temperature range at modest cost premium.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range specified for the TPS3705-33D?
The TPS3705-33D is characterized for operation from –40°C to 125°C, as confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Device Comparison Table of the official TI datasheet SLVS184F (Rev F, October 2020). This extended range distinguishes it from standard TPS3705 variants rated only to 85°C and qualifies it for under-hood automotive use.
Does the TPS3705-33D require an external capacitor for its reset delay function?
No, the TPS3705-33D integrates a fixed 200 ms power-on reset delay with no external capacitor required. This is explicitly stated in the Features section and verified in Section 8.3.1 of the datasheet. The internal timing is factory-trimmed and stable across temperature and voltage.
How does the watchdog timer in the TPS3705-33D operate, and what is its timeout period?
The TPS3705-33D watchdog timer is triggered by edges on the WDI pin and times out after 1.1–2.3 s (typ. 1.6 s), asserting the WDO output low. Leaving WDI unconnected disables the watchdog. This behavior is documented in Section 8.3.3 and Figure 7-1 of the datasheet.
Can the TPS3705-33D monitor a voltage other than its VDD supply?
Yes, the TPS3705-33D includes a dedicated PFI (Power-Fail Input) pin that accepts an external voltage divider to monitor secondary rails (e.g., 5 V or 12 V). Its PFI threshold is 1.25 V ±0.05 V, enabling accurate low-battery or auxiliary supply monitoring independent of the 3.3 V VDD rail.
Is the TPS3705-33D pin-compatible with legacy MAX705–MAX708 series supervisors?
Yes, the TPS3705-33D is explicitly stated as pin-for-pin compatible with the MAX705 through MAX708 series in the Features section of the datasheet. This allows direct substitution in existing designs without PCB layout changes, provided the extended temperature and watchdog features are acceptable.
