Product details
Overview
TPS3801-01DCKRG4 from Texas Instruments is an ultra-small, precision supply voltage supervisor IC designed for power-on reset and timing supervision in processor-based systems. It features an adjustable threshold (VREF = 1.14 V), fixed 200 ms reset delay, push-pull RESET output, and operates from 1.6 V to 6 V supply. It is used in DSP/microcontroller power sequencing where accurate brownout detection and reliable reset assertion are critical.
For engineers reviewing the TPS3801-01DCKRG4 datasheet, TPS3801-01DCKRG4 pinout, TPS3801-01DCKRG4 application, or TPS3801-01DCKRG4 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, SC-70 package layout, key electrical specs including ±2.5% threshold accuracy and 9 µA typical supply current, and real-world use cases in portable and industrial embedded systems.
Technical Context
The TPS3801-01DCKRG4 uses an internal 1.14 V precision reference to monitor either VDD or an external SENSE node via a comparator with 2.5% total threshold accuracy over –40°C to +85°C. Its reset logic asserts a push-pull RESET signal when input falls below threshold and holds it active for exactly 200 ms after recovery - factory-programmed, no external components required.
This variant lacks a manual reset (MR) input, distinguishing it from other TPS380x family members. The device integrates low-power oscillator and timer circuitry, enabling stable operation down to 1.6 V while consuming only 9–12 µA typical supply current across its operating range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Delay Time | 200 ms fixed - ensures sufficient hold time for processor core initialization without external RC network. |
| Threshold Reference | 1.14 V (adjustable via external resistor divider on SENSE) - enables custom voltage monitoring from ~1.2 V to 6 V. |
| Threshold Accuracy | ±2.5% over temperature - guarantees reliable brownout detection across industrial ambient conditions. |
| Supply Current | 9 µA typical at 4 V - supports ultra-low-power battery-backed applications and always-on monitoring. |
| Output Type | Push-pull RESET - eliminates need for external pull-up resistor and reduces board space vs. open-drain alternatives. |
| Operating Voltage Range | 1.6 V to 6 V - compatible with 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V system rails without level-shifting. |
| Package | SC-70 (DCK), 5-pin - footprint is ~50% smaller than SOT-23-5, ideal for space-constrained portable designs. |
Pinout & Package
TPS3801-01DCKRG4 is housed in a 5-pin SC-70 (DCK) package measuring 2.15 mm × 1.40 mm × 1.10 mm max height, with pin 1 located in quadrant Q3 per tape-and-reel orientation standard.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET | Active-low push-pull reset output - drives directly into microcontroller /DSP reset input without external pull-up. |
| 2 | GND | Analog ground reference - must be connected to clean system ground plane to maintain threshold stability. |
| 3 | SENSE | Adjustable threshold input - connects to resistor divider from monitored rail; sets trip point using internal 1.14 V reference. |
| 4 | VDD | Power supply input - powers internal circuitry and defines upper limit of SENSE monitoring range (≤ VDD). |
| 5 | GND | Second ground terminal - improves noise immunity and thermal performance; both GND pins must be tied to same ground net. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Adjustable voltage monitoring | Uses internal 1.14 V reference with external resistor divider on SENSE pin to monitor any rail from ~1.2 V to 6 V. |
| No external timing components | Factory-programmed 200 ms reset delay eliminates RC network, reducing BOM count and layout sensitivity. |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 9 µA typical supply current enables integration into always-on subsystems without compromising battery life. |
| High-accuracy threshold | ±2.5% total threshold error over –40°C to +85°C ensures robust operation in industrial and automotive environments. |
| Small-footprint SC-70 package | 2.15 mm × 1.40 mm footprint saves >50% board area vs. SOT-23-5, critical for wearables and compact IoT nodes. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3801E18DCKR | Fixed 1.71 V threshold; identical 200 ms delay and SC-70 package. | Used where fixed 1.8 V rail monitoring is required instead of adjustable SENSE configuration. | Select when system has dedicated 1.8 V supply and design simplicity outweighs flexibility. |
| MAX6326UT29D3+ | Fixed 2.93 V threshold; 200 ms delay; SOT-23-5 package; higher 12 µA supply current. | Targeted at 3.3 V systems with less stringent size constraints; lacks adjustable threshold capability. | Choose if existing layout uses SOT-23-5 and 2.93 V monitoring suffices; not drop-in due to different footprint. |
Compared with TPS3801E18DCKR and MAX6326UT29D3+, the TPS3801-01DCKRG4 uniquely supports adjustable threshold monitoring while maintaining the smallest SC-70 footprint and lowest quiescent current - making it optimal for multi-rail, space-constrained, and battery-sensitive designs.

FAQ
What is the reset threshold voltage of the TPS3801-01DCKRG4?
The TPS3801-01DCKRG4 does not have a fixed threshold; it uses an internal 1.14 V reference applied to the SENSE pin. The actual trip voltage is set by an external resistor divider connected between the monitored rail and ground, allowing flexible adjustment across 1.2 V to 6 V. This differs from fixed-threshold variants like TPS3801E18DCKR (1.71 V).
Does the TPS3801-01DCKRG4 include a manual reset (MR) input?
No, the TPS3801-01DCKRG4 omits the MR pin found on most other TPS380x devices. Its pinout consists solely of RESET, GND, SENSE, VDD, and second GND - making it suitable for applications where only power-supply monitoring is required and external reset triggering is unnecessary.
What is the recommended bypass capacitor for the TPS3801-01DCKRG4?
A 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor is recommended between VDD and GND, placed as close as possible to the device pins. This minimizes noise coupling and ensures stable operation of the internal reference and comparator, especially during fast supply transients or high-frequency switching noise events near the IC.
Can the TPS3801-01DCKRG4 monitor a 5 V supply?
Yes - the TPS3801-01DCKRG4 supports VDD up to 6 V and allows SENSE input up to VDD. To monitor a 5 V rail, connect it to SENSE through a resistor divider that scales it down to 1.14 V (e.g., 100 kΩ top, 33.2 kΩ bottom). The device's input current is only ±25 nA, ensuring minimal loading error.
Is the TPS3801-01DCKRG4 RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the TPS3801-01DCKRG4 is RoHS compliant with NIPDAU (nickel/palladium/gold) lead finish and meets JEDEC Level-1 moisture sensitivity standards. It is rated for reflow up to 260°C and qualified for industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), with full traceability and production status confirmed in TI's Package Option Addendum.
