Product details
Overview
TPS3803-01QDCKRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an automotive-grade adjustable voltage supervisor IC that monitors a single system supply via external resistor divider on the SENSE pin, with 1.226 V internal reference, ±1.5% threshold accuracy, open-drain RESET output, and 3 μA typical supply current at 3.3 V - used for reliable power-on reset assertion in DSP and microcontroller systems.
For engineers reviewing the TPS3803-01QDCKRQ1 datasheet, TPS3803-01QDCKRQ1 pinout, TPS3803-01QDCKRQ1 application, or TPS3803-01QDCKRQ1 equivalent, key selection considerations include its adjustable 1.226 V reference architecture, SC-70 (5-pin) package constraints, –40°C to 125°C automotive operating range, and open-drain output requiring external pull-up.
Technical Context
The TPS3803-01QDCKRQ1 implements a precision comparator with built-in 1.226 V reference and hysteresis (15 mV for thresholds <2.5 V), enabling stable detection of supply drops below user-defined thresholds set by external R1/R2 on SENSE. It asserts active-low RESET when VDD or SENSE falls below VIT and deasserts only after both recover above VIT + Vhys.
It features transient immunity against short negative spikes on VDD/SENSE pins, with minimum pulse duration vs. threshold overdrive defined per Figure 15–16; power-on reset initiates at VDD > 0.8 V, and it operates across 1.3 V to 6 V supply range with no internal regulation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Threshold Voltage | 1.226 V internal reference; enables monitoring of any rail ≥1.226 V via external resistor divider on SENSE pin |
| Threshold Accuracy | ±1.5% over –40°C to 125°C; ensures consistent reset point across automotive temperature extremes |
| Supply Current | 3 μA typical at VDD = 3.3 V; supports ultra-low-power always-on supervision in battery-backed systems |
| Reset Output Type | Open-drain; requires external pull-up resistor to define logic-high level and interface with diverse MCU reset inputs |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to 125°C; qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 for under-hood and infotainment applications |
| Hysteresis | 15 mV (for VIT < 2.5 V); prevents chatter during slow-rising/falling supply transitions near threshold |
| Package | 5-pin SC-70 (2.00 mm × 1.25 mm); enables high-density PCB layout in space-constrained automotive modules |
Pinout & Package
TPS3803-01QDCKRQ1 is housed in a 5-pin SC-70 (DCK) package with 2.00 mm × 1.25 mm body size and moisture sensitivity level 1 (260°C peak reflow).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (NC) | No internal connection | Must be left unconnected; no routing or grounding required |
| 2 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary return path for internal circuitry and RESET output sink current |
| 3 (RESET) | Active-low open-drain output | Sinks current when asserted; requires external pull-up to VDD or another logic rail |
| 4 (VDD) | Supply input and fixed-sense monitor | Power source (1.3–6 V); also monitored directly for undervoltage detection |
| 5 (SENSE) | Adjustable voltage sense input | Accepts scaled-down system rail via resistor divider; referenced to 1.226 V internal reference |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Adjustable threshold via resistor divider | Enables precise monitoring of any supply ≥1.226 V without custom IC variants |
| ±1.5% threshold accuracy over temperature | Guarantees deterministic reset behavior across full automotive operating range |
| 3 μA typical quiescent current | Minimizes standby power draw in always-on vehicle subsystems (e.g., telematics, ADAS sensors) |
| Transient immunity on VDD/SENSE | Rejects short-duration negative spikes (<100 ns) without false reset assertion |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for automotive use including engine control, cluster, and infotainment ECUs |
Applications
| Engine Control Unit (ECU) Power Monitoring | ADAS Camera Module Reset Supervision |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Monitors 5-V or 3.3-V domain powering MCU and CAN transceiver in gasoline/diesel ECU. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Asserts active-low RESET until main supply stabilizes post-ignition; holds processor in reset during brownout. Use Value: Prevents erratic MCU execution during cranking-induced voltage sag (down to ~6 V), ensuring deterministic boot sequence. |
Use Scenario: Supervises 1.8-V image sensor supply and 3.3-V ISP core rail in forward-facing camera module. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Detects undervoltage on either rail and forces system reset before corrupted frame capture or processing. Use Value: Eliminates visual artifacts or communication loss caused by partial power failure in safety-critical vision systems. |
| Automotive Infotainment Head Unit | Digital Instrument Cluster |
|
Use Scenario: Ensures clean startup of ARM-based SoC and audio codec in center-stack display unit. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Generates synchronized reset pulse after all LDO outputs reach regulation, using SENSE to monitor critical 1.1-V core rail. Use Value: Avoids firmware lockup or HDMI handshake failure due to out-of-sequence power sequencing. |
Use Scenario: Validates stability of 5-V backlight driver and 3.3-V microcontroller supply in TFT-based digital dashboard. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides fail-safe reset independent of main PMIC, asserting RESET if either monitored rail dips below threshold. Use Value: Guarantees immediate display blanking and fault indication during power anomaly - meeting ASIL-B functional safety expectations. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3803G15QDCKRQ1 | Fixed 1.4 V threshold on VDD pin; no SENSE pin - monitors only VDD directly | Used where only a single 1.5-V rail requires supervision without external resistors | Select when simplicity and BOM reduction outweigh need for adjustable threshold |
| TPS3805H33QDCKRQ1 | Dual-input (VDD + SENSE), push-pull RESET, fixed 3.05 V / 1.226 V thresholds | Required for simultaneous monitoring of 3.3-V main supply and secondary rail (e.g., 1.8-V I/O) | Choose when dual-rail supervision and active-high reset drive capability are mandatory |
Compared with TPS3803G15QDCKRQ1 and TPS3805H33QDCKRQ1, the TPS3803-01QDCKRQ1 uniquely supports user-defined thresholds down to 1.226 V via resistor divider while retaining the same SC-70 footprint and automotive qualification - making it optimal for non-standard supply voltages where fixed-threshold devices cannot meet design requirements.

FAQ
What is the function of the NC pin on TPS3803-01QDCKRQ1?
Pin 1 on the TPS3803-01QDCKRQ1 is designated NC (No Connection) and has no internal connection. It must remain unconnected - neither grounded nor routed - to avoid interference with internal circuit operation or thermal performance in the SC-70 package.
How do I configure TPS3803-01QDCKRQ1 to monitor a 2.5-V supply?
To monitor a 2.5-V supply with TPS3803-01QDCKRQ1, connect the supply to VDD and use a resistor divider (e.g., R1 = 24 kΩ, R2 = 30 kΩ) between the supply and GND, feeding the junction to the SENSE pin. This scales the voltage so that 2.5 V produces 1.226 V at SENSE, triggering reset below that threshold.
Does TPS3803-01QDCKRQ1 require an external pull-up resistor on the RESET pin?
Yes, TPS3803-01QDCKRQ1 features an open-drain RESET output and requires an external pull-up resistor (typically 4.7 kΩ to 10 kΩ) connected to a valid logic rail (e.g., VDD or MCU I/O voltage) to ensure proper high-level assertion when not actively driving low.
What is the minimum supply voltage required for TPS3803-01QDCKRQ1 to assert RESET?
The TPS3803-01QDCKRQ1 begins asserting RESET when VDD rises above 0.8 V during power-up. It continues monitoring VDD and SENSE thereafter, maintaining RESET low until both signals exceed their respective thresholds plus hysteresis.
Is TPS3803-01QDCKRQ1 compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes, TPS3803-01QDCKRQ1 is RoHS-compliant with NIPDAUAG lead finish and rated for MSL Level-1 (260°C peak reflow, unlimited floor life), making it fully compatible with standard lead-free soldering profiles used in automotive electronics manufacturing.
