Product details
Overview
TPS3801K33DCKRG4 from Texas Instruments is a fixed-threshold voltage supervisor IC with 2.93 V detection, 200 ms reset delay, push-pull RESET output, and SC-70 (DCK) 5-pin package - used for power-on reset supervision in microcontroller-based systems requiring precise supply monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the TPS3801K33DCKRG4 datasheet, TPS3801K33DCKRG4 pinout, TPS3801K33DCKRG4 application, or TPS3801K33DCKRG4 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal operating range, threshold accuracy, timing behavior, and real-world use context for reliable system initialization design.
Technical Context
The TPS3801K33DCKRG4 integrates a precision 1.14 V internal reference, comparator, oscillator-based timer, and push-pull output driver to generate a clean, factory-programmed 200 ms RESET pulse when VDD falls below 2.93 V (±2.5% over –40°C to +85°C). It operates without external components beyond a recommended 0.1 µF bypass capacitor.
No manual reset (MR) input is present - unlike most TPS380x family members - making it a dedicated fixed-delay, fixed-threshold supervisory device optimized for simplicity and board space reduction in low-voltage embedded systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2 V to 6 V - supports operation across common logic rails including 3.3 V and 5 V systems. |
| Threshold Voltage | 2.93 V (min 2.87 V, max 2.99 V) - enables reliable detection of 3.3 V rail brownout with ±2.5% accuracy. |
| Reset Delay Time | 200 ms (typical) - ensures stable processor initialization after power stabilization, per factory programming. |
| Output Type | Push-pull active-low RESET - eliminates need for external pull-up resistor and reduces BOM count. |
| Supply Current | 12 µA (typical at VDD = 2 V) - ultra-low quiescent current suitable for battery-powered applications. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - fully specified for industrial and automotive-adjacent environments. |
| Threshold Hysteresis | 40 mV - prevents oscillation during slow-rising/falling supply transitions near threshold. |
Pinout & Package
TPS3801K33DCKRG4 uses the SC-70 (DCK) 5-pin surface-mount package (2.41 mm × 1.2 mm × 1.1 mm), optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts. Pin 1 is marked by an index area on the top-side silkscreen.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET | Active-low push-pull reset output - asserts low during undervoltage condition and remains low for full 200 ms after recovery. |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference for internal circuitry and output stage - must be connected to system ground plane for stable operation. |
| 3 | VDD | Primary power supply input - monitored for threshold violation; powers internal reference and logic. |
| 4 | GND | Second ground terminal - improves noise immunity and thermal performance; requires low-impedance connection to same ground net as Pin 2. |
| 5 | NC | No-connect - internally unused; left floating or tied to GND per layout best practice (no functional impact). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 2.93 V threshold | Enables direct monitoring of 3.3 V supplies without external resistor divider, reducing component count and layout complexity. |
| 200 ms factory-programmed delay | Guarantees sufficient hold time for microcontroller core and peripherals to complete power-up sequencing without external timing components. |
| Push-pull RESET output | Drives loads up to 5 mA low / –5 mA high - compatible with standard CMOS inputs and eliminates external pull-up resistor. |
| Ultra-small SC-70 package | 50% smaller footprint than SOT-23-5 - ideal for wearables, IoT nodes, and compact industrial controllers where board area is critical. |
| 2.5% threshold accuracy over temperature | Ensures consistent reset assertion across –40°C to +85°C without calibration, supporting robust field reliability. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Module | Portable Medical Sensor Node |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3801L30DCKR | 2.64 V threshold (vs. 2.93 V); otherwise identical timing, package, and architecture. | Suitable for 2.8 V or 3.0 V supply rails where tighter margin is required before reset assertion. | Select when system brownout threshold must trigger earlier than 2.93 V - e.g., to protect 2.8 V I/O interfaces. |
| TPS3802K33DCKR | Same 2.93 V threshold but 380 ms reset delay (vs. 200 ms); identical pinout and electrical specs. | Used where longer reset hold time is needed for complex processors or multi-rail power sequencing. | Choose when extended reset duration is required - e.g., for FPGA configuration or multi-stage DC-DC startup coordination. |
Compared with TPS3801K33DCKRG4, TPS3801L30DCKR offers lower threshold for earlier fault response, while TPS3802K33DCKR extends delay for more demanding sequencing - both retain SC-70 compatibility and 2.5% accuracy, enabling drop-in replacement with only timing/threshold adjustment.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the TPS3801K33DCKRG4?
The TPS3801K33DCKRG4 has a nominal reset threshold of 2.93 V, with a guaranteed range of 2.87 V to 2.99 V over –40°C to +85°C. This 2.5% accuracy is achieved using an internal 1.14 V reference and trimmed comparator, eliminating need for external calibration.
Does the TPS3801K33DCKRG4 include a manual reset (MR) input?
No, the TPS3801K33DCKRG4 does not include a manual reset input. It is a fixed-function variant within the TPS380x family - unlike TPS3801-01 or TPS3801E18 - and relies solely on VDD monitoring for reset generation.
What package type and dimensions does the TPS3801K33DCKRG4 use?
The TPS3801K33DCKRG4 uses the SC-70 (DCK) 5-pin package: 2.41 mm × 1.2 mm footprint, 1.1 mm maximum height. Pin 1 is located at the index corner; the package includes two GND pins (Pins 2 and 4) for improved thermal and noise performance.
Can the TPS3801K33DCKRG4 be used with a 5 V supply rail?
Yes, the TPS3801K33DCKRG4 supports VDD from 2 V to 6 V, making it fully compatible with 5 V systems. Its 2.93 V threshold remains valid regardless of VDD level, allowing supervision of 3.3 V domains powered from higher rails via LDOs or regulators.
What is the typical supply current consumption of the TPS3801K33DCKRG4?
The TPS3801K33DCKRG4 draws 12 µA typical supply current at VDD = 2 V and 20 µA at VDD = 6 V (over temperature). This ultra-low quiescent current supports multi-year battery life in always-on sensor and monitoring applications.
