Product details
Overview
TPS3779BDBVT from Texas Instruments is a dual-channel, high-accuracy voltage detector with push-pull outputs, designed for precise monitoring of two independent supply rails in low-power systems. It features 5% factory-set hysteresis, ±1% VIT+ threshold accuracy over –40°C to 125°C, 2 µA typical quiescent current, and operates from 1.5 V to 6.5 V VDD. It is used in microcontroller reset supervision and power-supply sequencing where stable, glitch-immune detection is critical.
For engineers reviewing the TPS3779BDBVT datasheet, TPS3779BDBVT pinout, TPS3779BDBVT application, or TPS3779BDBVT equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specifications, package mapping, functional context for dual-rail monitoring, and real-world design implications - all grounded in TI's SBVS250 datasheet and validated SOT23-6 implementation data.
Technical Context
The TPS3779BDBVT integrates two independent comparators with internal reference trimming, each supporting adjustable detection thresholds via external resistor dividers on SENSE1 and SENSE2. Its 5% hysteresis (VHYS = 5% × VIT+) ensures immunity to rail noise without external components, and its push-pull output architecture eliminates need for pull-up resistors while maintaining full VDD-referenced logic levels.
It enters normal operation after a 570 µs startup delay (tSD) once VDD exceeds 1.5 V, and asserts OUT1/OUT2 low when respective SENSE inputs fall below VIT– (e.g., 1.134 V at nominal VIT+ = 1.194 V). Threshold deviation remains within ±0.4% across –40°C to 120°C, confirmed by TI's production test data.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIT+ Threshold | 1.194 V (nominal); defines rising-edge detection point for both channels - sets minimum valid rail voltage before deassertion. |
| Hysteresis | 5% (factory-set); provides 60 mV voltage margin between VIT+ and VIT– (1.194 V → 1.134 V), preventing chatter during slow or noisy transitions. |
| Quiescent Current | 2 µA (typical at 3.3 V, 25°C); enables always-on monitoring in battery-powered devices with negligible impact on system runtime. |
| Supply Range | 1.5 V to 6.5 V; supports direct connection to Li-ion, 3.3 V, and 5 V rails without level-shifting or regulation. |
| Propagation Delay | tPD(r) = 5.5 µs (max), tPD(f) = 10 µs (max); ensures fast response to undervoltage events while maintaining noise rejection. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to 125°C; qualified for automotive under-hood, industrial control, and high-reliability embedded applications. |
| Output Type | Push-pull (TPS3779 family); drives OUT1/OUT2 actively high/low - no external pull-ups required, simplifying BOM and layout. |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-6 package (2.92 mm × 1.30 mm body), thermally optimized for PCB space-constrained designs; pin 1 marked via dot or bevelled corner.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VDD) | Power supply input | Accepts 1.5–6.5 V; requires 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling capacitor placed adjacent to pin for stable operation. |
| 2 (GND) | Ground reference | Common return path for internal comparators and outputs; must connect to low-impedance system ground plane. |
| 3 (SENSE2) | Second voltage monitor input | High-impedance (±15 nA bias) node; connects to resistor divider for rail monitoring - supports up to 6.5 V regardless of VDD. |
| 4 (OUT2) | Channel 2 push-pull output | Drives low when SENSE2 < VIT–, high when SENSE2 > VIT+; compatible with 3.3 V/5 V CMOS logic inputs without level shifters. |
| 5 (OUT1) | Channel 1 push-pull output | Independent reset/enable signal; asserted synchronously with SENSE1 crossing VIT–/VIT+, enabling dual-rail sequencing control. |
| 6 (SENSE1) | First voltage monitor input | Identical function to SENSE2; allows simultaneous monitoring of primary and auxiliary supplies (e.g., core + I/O rails). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent comparators | Enables concurrent monitoring of two distinct voltage rails (e.g., 3.3 V and 1.8 V) with separate outputs - no shared timing or dependency. |
| 5% factory-trimmed hysteresis | Eliminates need for external hysteresis components; guarantees consistent noise margin across temperature and process variation. |
| Adjustable threshold down to 1.2 V | Supports detection of low-voltage rails (e.g., DDR memory supplies) using standard resistor dividers - no special references required. |
| 2 µA quiescent current | Reduces standby power in always-on supervisory circuits - critical for portable medical and battery-backed industrial sensors. |
| –40°C to 125°C operation | Validated performance across full automotive and industrial temperature range; no derating needed for thermal design. |
Applications
| Microcontroller Reset Supervision | Power-Supply Sequencing |

Use Scenario: Controlling startup order of FPGA core (1.0 V) and I/O bank (2.5 V) supplies in a programmable logic system. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TPS3779BDBVT monitors each rail independently and drives enable signals to corresponding DC/DC converters. Use Value: Ensures correct power-up sequence (I/O before core) without requiring complex timing controllers or discrete logic. |
| Early Warning Detection | Battery-Powered System Monitoring |
|
Use Scenario: Detecting gradual Li-ion battery discharge in a portable diagnostic device before critical cutoff. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: One channel monitors main 3.3 V rail (early warning at 3.0 V), second monitors backup 1.8 V rail (reset at 1.6 V). Use Value: Provides two-tier alerting - first output triggers low-battery warning, second initiates graceful shutdown. |
Use Scenario: Supervising dual batteries (primary + backup) in a wireless sensor node operating at 1.8 V and 3.0 V. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TPS3779BDBVT continuously monitors both sources; OUT1 controls primary regulator, OUT2 enables backup switchover.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel voltage detector applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3779CDBVT | 10% hysteresis (vs. 5%); identical pinout, supply range, and quiescent current. | Better suited for noisy environments or slower-ramping rails where wider hysteresis prevents false triggering. | Select when higher noise immunity is prioritized over tighter threshold resolution. |
| TPS3780BDBVT | Open-drain outputs (vs. push-pull); same 5% hysteresis, threshold accuracy, and package. | Allows output pull-up to voltage independent of VDD (e.g., 5 V logic interface while VDD = 3.3 V). | Select when interfacing with mixed-voltage systems or wired-AND reset buses. |
Compared with TPS3779BDBVT, TPS3779CDBVT offers greater noise margin at the cost of reduced threshold precision, while TPS3780BDBVT trades push-pull simplicity for flexible voltage-level interfacing - both require no PCB changes but differ in system-level logic compatibility and noise handling trade-offs.

FAQ
What is the exact hysteresis value for TPS3779BDBVT?
The TPS3779BDBVT has a factory-trimmed hysteresis of 5%, meaning the difference between VIT+ and VIT– is exactly 5% of the nominal VIT+ threshold (1.194 V). This yields VIT– = 1.134 V and provides a fixed 60 mV noise margin - confirmed in TI's SBVS250 datasheet Table 5 and Figure 6.
Can TPS3779BDBVT monitor voltages higher than its VDD supply?
Yes. The SENSE1 and SENSE2 inputs of the TPS3779BDBVT accept voltages up to 6.5 V regardless of VDD level (1.5 V to 6.5 V), enabling direct monitoring of higher-voltage rails like 5 V or 3.3 V supplies even when powered from a lower 1.8 V source - a key feature documented in Section 6 and 7.3 of the datasheet.
What is the startup behavior of TPS3779BDBVT after power application?
Upon VDD ramp-up, the TPS3779BDBVT requires a 570 µs startup delay (tSD) before outputs respond to SENSE inputs. During this period, OUT1 and OUT2 remain in an undefined state. This delay is guaranteed across –40°C to 125°C and ensures reliable initialization after power-on or VDD transients below 1.5 V.
Does TPS3779BDBVT require external pull-up resistors on its outputs?
No. The TPS3779BDBVT features push-pull outputs (OUT1 and OUT2), which actively drive high and low states without external pull-ups. This reduces component count and board area versus open-drain alternatives like the TPS3780 series - a distinction explicitly called out in the "Features" and "Pin Functions" sections of the datasheet.
How accurate is the threshold voltage of TPS3779BDBVT over temperature?
The TPS3779BDBVT maintains ±1% VIT+ accuracy over –40°C to 125°C, with measured deviation bounded within ±0.4% across –40°C to 120°C per Figure 3 and Figure 4 in the SBVS250 datasheet. This stability is achieved via on-chip reference trimming and is validated across production lots - not a typical-only specification.
