Product details
Overview
TPS3801T50DCKRG4 from Texas Instruments is a fixed-threshold voltage supervisor IC with 4.00 V detection, 25 ms reset delay, push-pull RESET output, and SC-70 (DCK) 5-pin package. It monitors VDD supply lines in microcontroller-based systems to ensure reliable power-on initialization and brownout protection during battery-powered operation.
For engineers reviewing the TPS3801T50DCKRG4 datasheet, TPS3801T50DCKRG4 pinout, TPS3801T50DCKRG4 application, or TPS3801T50DCKRG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its precise 4.00 V ±2% threshold, ultra-low 9 µA supply current at 1.6 V, 25 ms factory-programmed delay, push-pull output drive capability, and operation across –40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range.
Technical Context
The TPS3801T50DCKRG4 uses an internal precision reference (1.14 V) and resistor divider to set a fixed 4.00 V detection threshold on the VDD pin. Its reset logic asserts a low-active push-pull RESET signal when VDD falls below VIT– (3.92 V min), holding it active for 25 ms after VDD rises above the threshold.
No manual reset (MR) input is provided-this variant excludes MR functionality per the TPS3801-01 family differentiation. The device operates without external components, requiring only a 0.1 µF bypass capacitor on VDD for stable threshold performance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.6 V to 6 V - supports wide-input rail monitoring including 3.3 V, 5 V, and battery-backed supplies |
| Detection Threshold | 4.00 V ±2% - factory-trimmed fixed threshold ensures accurate 5 V rail supervision without external resistors |
| Reset Delay Time | 25 ms (typ) - deterministic, factory-programmed timing eliminates need for external RC network |
| Supply Current | 9 µA (typ at 1.6 V) - enables multi-year operation in always-on battery-powered systems |
| Output Type | Push-pull RESET - drives high/low directly without external pull-up; supports 5 mA sink / –5 mA source |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and automotive under-hood ambient conditions |
| Threshold Hysteresis | 60 mV - prevents chatter near trip point during slow-rising/falling supply transitions |
Pinout & Package
TPS3801T50DCKRG4 is housed in a 5-pin SC-70 (DCK) package-1.85 mm × 1.35 mm × 1.1 mm body, 0.65 mm pitch, gull-wing leads. This ultra-small outline transistor (SOT) footprint occupies ~50% less board area than standard SOT-23-5.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RESET | Active-low reset output | Push-pull driver capable of sinking 5 mA or sourcing –5 mA; asserts low during VDD undervoltage or power-up |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for internal circuitry and RESET output; must be connected to system ground plane |
| 3 - SENSE | Not connected (NC) | No internal connection; left floating or tied to GND per TI layout guidance for noise immunity |
| 4 - VDD | Supply and sense input | Monitored supply rail; powers internal circuitry and serves as detection node for 4.00 V threshold |
| 5 - GND | Ground reference | Second ground terminal for improved thermal and EMI performance; must be tied to same ground net as Pin 2 |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 4.00 V threshold | Eliminates external resistor divider, reducing BOM count and layout sensitivity while maintaining ±2% accuracy over temperature |
| 25 ms reset delay | Guarantees sufficient hold time for processor core and peripherals to fully initialize before release from reset |
| Ultra-low 9 µA supply current | Extends battery life in portable equipment; enables use in energy-harvesting and IoT edge nodes |
| Push-pull RESET output | Drives microcontroller reset pins directly without external pull-up resistor, simplifying schematic and improving noise immunity |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3801I50DCKR | 4.55 V threshold (±2%), same 25 ms delay, identical SC-70 package | Designed for higher-voltage 5 V systems with tighter tolerance margins; not suitable for 4.0 V nominal rails | Select when supervising 5 V supplies with headroom for ripple; verify VIT– (4.45 V min) exceeds worst-case rail sag |
| TLV803EB33DBVR | 3.3 V threshold, 200 ms delay, SOT-23-5 package, 0.5 µA IQ | Lower threshold and longer delay; optimized for ultra-low-power microcontrollers with extended wake-up sequences | Choose for sub-1 µA systems where 3.3 V rail supervision suffices and longer reset hold time is acceptable |
Compared with TPS3801I50DCKR and TLV803EB33DBVR, the TPS3801T50DCKRG4 uniquely balances 4.00 V precision detection, 25 ms timing, and ultra-small SC-70 packaging-making it optimal for space-constrained 5 V embedded systems requiring fast, deterministic reset behavior without design compromises.

FAQ
What is the exact detection threshold voltage of the TPS3801T50DCKRG4?
The TPS3801T50DCKRG4 has a factory-trimmed fixed detection threshold of 4.00 V with ±2% accuracy over –40°C to +85°C. Electrical characteristics specify VIT– (negative-going threshold) as 3.92 V (min), 4.00 V (typ), and 4.08 V (max), confirmed in the SLVS219E datasheet Table 1.
Does the TPS3801T50DCKRG4 include a manual reset (MR) input?
No, the TPS3801T50DCKRG4 does not include a manual reset input. Per the TPS380x family documentation, only the TPS3801-01 variant includes MR functionality; all other members-including TPS3801T50DCKRG4-omit MR and rely solely on VDD monitoring.
What is the reset delay time for the TPS3801T50DCKRG4, and is it adjustable?
The TPS3801T50DCKRG4 features a fixed 25 ms reset recovery delay time (td), specified as 15 ms (min), 25 ms (typ), and 35 ms (max) in the Switching Characteristics table. This delay is factory-programmed and non-adjustable-no external components are required or supported.
What package type and pin configuration does the TPS3801T50DCKRG4 use?
The TPS3801T50DCKRG4 uses the SC-70 (DCK) 5-pin package with gull-wing leads. Pin 1 is RESET, Pin 2 is GND, Pin 3 is NC (not internally connected), Pin 4 is VDD, and Pin 5 is GND. This matches the top-view DCK package drawing in the SLVS219E datasheet.
Can the TPS3801T50DCKRG4 monitor a 3.3 V supply rail?
No-the TPS3801T50DCKRG4 is specified for 4.00 V detection and requires VDD ≥1.6 V to operate. Monitoring a 3.3 V rail would result in permanent RESET assertion since 3.3 V < 3.92 V (minimum VIT–). For 3.3 V supervision, consider TPS3801K33DCKR (2.93 V threshold) or TPS3801L30DCKR (2.64 V).
