Product details
Overview
TPS3801L30DCKR from Texas Instruments is a fixed-threshold voltage supervisor IC designed for power-on reset and supply monitoring in processor-based systems. It features a 2.64 V detection threshold, 200 ms factory-programmed reset delay, push-pull RESET output, and operates from 1.6 V to 6 V supply with 12 µA typical supply current. It is used in microcontroller initialization circuits where precise brownout detection and reliable reset assertion are required.
For engineers reviewing the TPS3801L30DCKR datasheet, TPS3801L30DCKR pinout, TPS3801L30DCKR application, or TPS3801L30DCKR equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, pin-level design meaning, real-world application mappings, and validated alternative options - all grounded in TI's SLVS219E specification and production data.
Technical Context
The TPS3801L30DCKR integrates a precision 1.14 V internal reference, comparator, oscillator-based timer, and push-pull output driver. Its fixed 2.64 V threshold (±2.5% over –40°C to +85°C) is derived from resistor-divider scaling of the internal reference, enabling stable detection without external components.
It asserts RESET low when VDD falls below 2.64 V and holds it active for 200 ms after VDD rises above threshold. Unlike TPS3801-01, it lacks a manual reset (MR) input - its pinout omits MR and uses SENSE tied internally to VDD, confirming fixed-supply monitoring functionality.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.6 V to 6 V - supports wide-input systems including 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V rails. |
| Detection Threshold | 2.64 V (min 2.58 V, max 2.70 V) - factory-trimmed fixed threshold for reliable 3.0 V rail supervision. |
| Reset Delay Time | 200 ms (typical) - ensures sufficient hold time for DSP/microcontroller core and peripheral stabilization. |
| Supply Current | 12 µA (typical at VDD = 6 V) - ultra-low quiescent current suitable for battery-backed and always-on monitoring. |
| Output Type | Push-pull active-low RESET - eliminates need for external pull-up; drives loads up to 5 mA. |
| Threshold Accuracy | ±2.5% over –40°C to +85°C - enables robust operation without calibration in industrial environments. |
| Hysteresis | 35 mV - prevents oscillation during slow-rising/falling supply transitions near threshold. |
Pinout & Package
TPS3801L30DCKR is housed in a 5-pin SC-70 (SOT-323) package (TI package code DCK), measuring 2.15 mm × 1.40 mm × 1.10 mm max height. The package is RoHS-compliant, moisture-sensitivity Level-1, and optimized for high-density PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RESET | Active-low reset output | Push-pull driver; sinks 5 mA; asserts low during undervoltage; no external pull-up required. |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for internal circuitry and RESET output; must be low-impedance. |
| 3 - SENSE | Input sense node | Internally connected to VDD - confirms fixed-threshold configuration; not externally accessible. |
| 4 - VDD | Supply input | Power source and monitored rail; supplies internal reference, comparator, and timer (1.6–6 V). |
| 5 - GND | Second ground terminal | Provides additional grounding path; improves noise immunity and thermal dissipation in SC-70 layout. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 2.64 V threshold | Eliminates external resistor divider; reduces BOM count and layout area for 3.0 V system monitoring. |
| 200 ms reset delay | Guarantees full processor core and memory initialization before release; avoids premature boot failures. |
| 12 µA supply current | Enables continuous supervision in energy-constrained applications such as portable instrumentation and IoT edge nodes. |
| Push-pull RESET output | Drives microcontroller /RESET pins directly without pull-up resistor; simplifies schematic and improves noise margin. |
| SC-70 (DCK) package | 50% smaller than SOT-23-5; supports high-density routing and automated assembly in space-limited designs. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Module | Medical Patient Monitor |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3802L30DCKR | Same 2.64 V threshold but 380 ms reset delay; identical SC-70 package and pinout. | Used where longer reset hold time is required for complex multi-rail power sequencing. | Select when extended reset duration is needed; not drop-in - timing change affects boot timing budget. |
| TLV803EB30DBVR | 2.63 V threshold, 240 ms delay, open-drain output, 0.9 µA IQ, SOT-23-3 package (3 pins). | Requires external pull-up; lower IQ suits ultra-low-power sleep modes; smaller footprint but no dual-GND advantage. | Choose for battery longevity-critical designs; verify RESET drive strength and PCB layout compatibility. |
Compared with TPS3801L30DCKR, TPS3802L30DCKR extends reset timing without changing detection behavior, while TLV803EB30DBVR trades push-pull drive and dual-GND noise immunity for ultra-low current and reduced pin count - requiring redesign of reset net termination and layout.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of TPS3801L30DCKR?
The TPS3801L30DCKR has a factory-programmed fixed detection threshold of 2.64 V, with a guaranteed range of 2.58 V (min) to 2.70 V (max) over –40°C to +85°C. This value is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table of TI's SLVS219E datasheet and applies directly to the TPS3801L30DCKR device without external components.
Does TPS3801L30DCKR include a manual reset (MR) input?
No, the TPS3801L30DCKR does not include a manual reset input. Per TI's functional block diagram and pinout documentation, the MR pin is omitted in the TPS3801L30 variant - only TPS3800-xx and TPS3802-xx devices (excluding TPS3801-01) feature MR. The TPS3801L30DCKR uses a fixed VDD-sense architecture with no external MR capability.
What package type and dimensions does TPS3801L30DCKR use?
TPS3801L30DCKR uses the SC-70 (SOT-323) package, designated DCK by Texas Instruments. Its dimensions are 2.15 mm × 1.40 mm × 1.10 mm maximum height, with 0.65 mm pin pitch. The package has two GND pins (pins 2 and 5) and is RoHS-compliant with Moisture Sensitivity Level 1.
Can TPS3801L30DCKR monitor a 3.3 V supply rail?
Yes, the TPS3801L30DCKR is specifically suited for monitoring 3.3 V rails. Its 2.64 V threshold provides ~20% hysteresis margin below nominal 3.3 V, ensuring reliable detection of brownout conditions while avoiding false triggers from normal ripple. It operates up to 6 V, fully covering 3.3 V system requirements.
What is the supply current consumption of TPS3801L30DCKR at 3.3 V?
At VDD = 3.3 V, the TPS3801L30DCKR draws 12 µA typical supply current (IDD), as confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table of SLVS219E. This ultra-low quiescent current remains stable across temperature and input voltage, making it ideal for always-on supervision in power-sensitive applications.
