Product details
Overview
TPS3705-33DRG4 from Texas Instruments is a precision 3.3 V supply-voltage supervisor IC with integrated watchdog timer, power-fail comparator, and 200 ms power-on reset delay. It monitors VDD for brownout (VIT– = 2.93 V), asserts active-low RESET during undervoltage or manual reset, and provides WDO timeout at 1.6 s. Used in microcontroller-based industrial controllers requiring extended temperature operation.
For engineers reviewing the TPS3705-33DRG4 datasheet, TPS3705-33DRG4 pinout, TPS3705-33DRG4 application, or TPS3705-33DRG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its –40°C to 125°C operating range, 50 µA max supply current, 8-pin SOIC package, and watchdog timer functionality not present in TPS3707 variants.
Technical Context
The TPS3705-33DRG4 implements dual supervision: a precision bandgap-referenced VDD monitor with 50 mV hysteresis and a separate PFI/PFO comparator for auxiliary rail monitoring. Its internal watchdog timer requires periodic WDI transitions and triggers WDO after 1.6 s timeout-enabling system-level fault recovery without external timing components.
RESET assertion occurs when VDD falls below 2.93 V (–40°C to 125°C) or rises above 1.1 V at power-up, with fixed 200 ms delay before deassertion. MR input provides asynchronous reset control, while PFI accepts externally scaled voltages for secondary supply monitoring down to 1.25 V threshold.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIT– Threshold | 2.93 V (±70 mV over –40°C to 125°C); ensures reliable 3.3 V rail supervision with margin against noise-induced false resets |
| Reset Delay | 200 ms fixed; eliminates need for external capacitor and guarantees sufficient processor initialization time |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6 s typical; enables firmware crash detection and automatic system recovery without MCU intervention |
| Supply Current | 50 µA max; supports low-power battery-backed systems and extends runtime in portable equipment |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to 125°C; qualified for under-hood automotive and high-ambient industrial environments |
| PFI Threshold | 1.25 V (±50 mV); allows flexible scaling of secondary supplies (e.g., 12 V, 5 V) using resistor dividers |
| Output Drive | 1 mA sink capability on RESET; directly interfaces with standard CMOS inputs without pull-up resistors |
Pinout & Package
TPS3705-33DRG4 is packaged in an 8-pin SOIC (D package) with 3.90 mm × 4.90 mm body size and standard 1.27 mm lead pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| MR (Pin 1) | Manual Reset Input | Active-low asynchronous reset trigger; pulls RESET low immediately upon logic-low assertion |
| VDD (Pin 2) | Supply Voltage Input | Primary 2–6 V power source; powers internal reference, comparators, and watchdog oscillator |
| GND (Pin 3) | Ground Reference | Common return path for all internal circuits and output drivers; requires low-impedance PCB connection |
| PFI (Pin 4) | Power-Fail Input | Analog input for secondary supply monitoring; threshold set by internal 1.25 V reference |
| PFO (Pin 5) | Power-Fail Output | Active-low open-drain output signaling auxiliary supply undervoltage; requires external pull-up |
| WDI (Pin 6) | Watchdog Input | Edge-sensitive input; rising or falling transition resets watchdog timer; unconnected disables function |
| RESET (Pin 7) | Reset Output | Active-low open-drain reset signal; asserts during VDD undervoltage, MR assertion, or watchdog timeout |
| WDO (Pin 8) | Watchdog Output | Active-low open-drain watchdog timeout signal; independent of RESET and usable for system diagnostics |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Watchdog Timer | 1.6 s timeout with edge-triggered WDI; eliminates external RC timing network and reduces BOM count |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3705-33D | Same silicon, identical electrical specs and pinout; D suffix denotes SOIC package without Green/ROHS designation | No functional difference; D variant lacks halogen-free marking but shares full qualification | Select TPS3705-33D only if RoHS exemption applies; otherwise TPS3705-33DRG4 preferred for compliance |
| MAX706TSA+ | Pin-compatible MAXIM part; 3.08 V threshold, 200 ms delay, no watchdog timer, 125°C max temp | Lacks WDI/WDO functionality; requires external circuitry for watchdog behavior | Choose MAX706TSA+ only when watchdog is unnecessary and legacy MAX705-series compatibility is mandatory |

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for TPS3705-33DRG4 over its full temperature range?
The TPS3705-33DRG4 has a guaranteed negative-going input threshold voltage (VIT–) of 2.87 V minimum to 3.02 V maximum across –40°C to 125°C, with 2.93 V nominal. This 50 mV hysteresis prevents chatter during slow voltage transitions and ensures reliable 3.3 V rail supervision under thermal stress.
Does TPS3705-33DRG4 require an external capacitor for reset timing?
No, the TPS3705-33DRG4 features an internal 200 ms power-on reset delay generator with no external components required. This eliminates capacitor tolerance, aging, and temperature drift concerns-ensuring consistent reset timing across production lots and environmental conditions for the TPS3705-33DRG4.
How does the watchdog timer in TPS3705-33DRG4 function, and what is its timeout period?
TPS3705-33DRG4's watchdog timer resets on any rising or falling edge at WDI and times out after 1.6 s (typical) if no transition occurs. Upon timeout, WDO asserts low and automatically restarts the timer. Leaving WDI unconnected disables the watchdog, making it fully configurable per system needs for the TPS3705-33DRG4.
Can TPS3705-33DRG4 monitor a 12 V supply, and how is that implemented?
Yes, TPS3705-33DRG4 monitors auxiliary supplies like 12 V using the PFI input with an external resistor divider. The internal 1.25 V reference sets the PFI threshold; for 12 V monitoring, a 910 kΩ/120 kΩ divider scales it to 1.25 V at PFI, triggering PFO when input drops below ~11.3 V-enabling dual-rail supervision in the TPS3705-33DRG4.
What is the maximum operating temperature specification for TPS3705-33DRG4?
The TPS3705-33DRG4 is fully specified from –40°C to 125°C ambient temperature, validated per TI's SLVS184F datasheet revision F (October 2020). This extended range exceeds standard industrial grade and qualifies the TPS3705-33DRG4 for under-hood automotive, motor drive, and high-temperature industrial control applications.
