Product details
Overview
TPS3705-50D from Texas Instruments is a precision 5-V supply voltage supervisor IC with integrated watchdog timer, power-fail comparator, and 200-ms power-on reset delay. It monitors VDD at 4.55 V (±2%), asserts active-low RESET during undervoltage or power failure, and provides WDI/WDO for system-level fault recovery in microprocessor-based systems.
For engineers reviewing the TPS3705-50D datasheet, TPS3705-50D pinout, TPS3705-50D application, or TPS3705-50D equivalent, key selection criteria include its fixed 4.55-V threshold, 1.6-s watchdog timeout, 50 µA max supply current, −40°C to 85°C operation, and compatibility with MSP430 and other low-power MCUs requiring reliable brownout and fail-safe supervision.
Technical Context
The TPS3705-50D implements dual-supervision architecture: a precision bandgap-referenced comparator monitors VDD against 4.55 V with 70 mV hysteresis, while a separate PFI input enables external rail monitoring (e.g., 12 V via resistor divider). Its internal oscillator drives a 1.6-s watchdog timeout, retriggerable by edge transitions on WDI.
RESET assertion occurs when VDD drops below 4.55 V or MR is pulled low; RESET remains active for ≥200 ms after VDD exceeds 4.55 V. PFO asserts low when PFI falls below 1.25 V, enabling low-battery or auxiliary supply failure detection without external components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIT– Threshold | 4.55 V ±2% - precise 5-V rail supervision with guaranteed margin against nominal 5-V supply tolerance |
| Reset Delay | 200 ms fixed - ensures stable MCU initialization without external capacitor or timing component |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6 s typical - provides deterministic system recovery window for firmware hang detection |
| Supply Current | 50 µA max - enables use in battery-backed or ultra-low-power systems without significant drain |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to 85°C - supports industrial and automotive under-hood applications with full specification compliance |
| Hysteresis | 70 mV on VDD - prevents oscillation during slow-rising/falling supply transitions |
| PFI Threshold | 1.25 V ±0.05 V - allows accurate monitoring of auxiliary rails (e.g., 12 V via 910k/120k divider) for power-fail warning |
Pinout & Package
TPS3705-50D is available in 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.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| MR (Pin 1) | Manual Reset Input | Active-low signal to force RESET assertion independent of VDD level; requires pull-up for normal operation |
| VDD (Pin 2) | Supply Voltage Input | Primary 2–6 V power rail connection; powers internal reference, comparators, and watchdog logic |
| GND (Pin 3) | Ground Reference | Common return path for all internal circuits and output drivers; must be low-impedance |
| PFI (Pin 4) | Power-Fail Input | Analog input for monitoring secondary supply; triggers PFO when voltage falls below 1.25 V |
| PFO (Pin 5) | Power-Fail Output | Active-low open-drain output signaling auxiliary supply failure; requires external pull-up |
| WDI (Pin 6) | Watchdog Input | Edge-sensitive trigger for watchdog timer; transition resets 1.6-s timeout period |
| RESET (Pin 7) | Reset Output | Active-low open-drain reset signal for microcontroller; asserted during VDD undervoltage or MR activation |
| WDO (Pin 8) | Watchdog Output | Active-low open-drain output asserting on watchdog timeout; used to reset or interrupt host processor |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervision applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX706RCSA+ | 5-V threshold (4.65 V), no watchdog timer, 200-ms reset delay, 12 µA supply current | Lacks WDI/WDO functionality; suitable only for basic reset supervision without system-level fault recovery | Select when watchdog capability is unnecessary and ultra-low quiescent current is prioritized over dual-rail monitoring |
| TPS3823-50DBVR | 5-V threshold (4.65 V), no PFI/PFO, 200-ms delay, 15 µA supply current, SOT-23-5 package | Single-supply supervision only; missing power-fail comparator and watchdog, but smaller footprint | Choose for space-constrained designs where only main rail monitoring is required and auxiliary supply detection is handled externally |
Compared with MAX706RCSA+ and TPS3823-50DBVR, TPS3705-50D uniquely integrates VDD supervision, PFI-based auxiliary rail monitoring, and watchdog timer in one SOIC-8 device-enabling consolidated fault detection and recovery without increasing board area or component count.

FAQ
What is the exact VIT– threshold voltage for TPS3705-50D and how is it specified?
The TPS3705-50D has a guaranteed negative-going input threshold voltage (VIT–) of 4.55 V with ±2% tolerance over −40°C to 85°C. This value is factory-trimmed and tested per TI SLVS184F Rev F, ensuring precise 5-V rail supervision without external calibration. The 70 mV hysteresis prevents chatter during marginal supply conditions.
Does TPS3705-50D require an external capacitor for reset timing?
No, TPS3705-50D does not require an external capacitor for its 200-ms power-on reset delay. The timing is fully internal and factory-calibrated, eliminating component count, layout sensitivity, and temperature drift associated with RC networks. This simplifies design and improves reliability in high-vibration or wide-temperature environments.
How does the watchdog function operate in TPS3705-50D?
The TPS3705-50D watchdog timer times out after 1.6 s (typical) if no edge transition occurs on WDI. A rising or falling edge resets the timer. If timeout occurs, WDO asserts low to signal host MCU failure. Leaving WDI unconnected disables the watchdog. This provides deterministic recovery from software lockups without firmware intervention.
Can TPS3705-50D monitor a 12-V supply, and how is this implemented?
Yes, TPS3705-50D can monitor a 12-V supply using the PFI input with an external resistor divider. For example, a 910-kΩ/120-kΩ divider scales 12 V to ~1.25 V at PFI-matching the device's 1.25-V PFI threshold. PFO then asserts low when the 12-V rail drops below ~11.5 V, enabling power-fail warning without additional comparators.
What package options are available for TPS3705-50D and what are their key mechanical differences?
TPS3705-50D is offered in 8-pin SOIC (D package), measuring 3.90 mm × 4.90 mm. It is not available in MSOP-PowerPAD for this variant (TPS3705-50DGN is the MSOP version). The SOIC package uses gull-wing leads, supports standard reflow profiles, and provides adequate thermal dissipation (725 mW at 25°C) for supervisory IC power levels.
