Product details
Overview
TPS3803G15MDCKREP from Texas Instruments is a radiation-hardened, extended-temperature voltage supervisor IC with fixed 1.40 V threshold, open-drain active-low RESET output, and 3 µA typical supply current at 3.3 V. It monitors VDD only (no SENSE input), operates from −55°C to +125°C, and is housed in a 5-pin SC-70 package. It is used for power-on reset supervision in space-grade DSPs and radiation-tolerant microcontrollers.
For engineers reviewing the TPS3803G15MDCKREP datasheet, TPS3803G15MDCKREP pinout, TPS3803G15MDCKREP application, or TPS3803G15MDCKREP equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, terminal functions, thermal performance limits, reset timing behavior, and qualified alternatives for high-reliability embedded systems requiring MIL-PRF-38535 Class V or ESA ESCC qualification.
Technical Context
The TPS3803G15MDCKREP implements a precision bandgap reference (1.215 V) feeding a comparator that asserts RESET when VDD falls below 1.40 V ±1.5% over temperature. Its internal hysteresis is 15 mV, ensuring noise immunity during brownout recovery.
This device lacks a SENSE pin-pin 5 is NC-and uses only VDD as the monitored rail. RESET remains asserted until VDD exceeds 1.40 V + 15 mV, then deasserts with 5–100 µs propagation delay. It supports supply voltages from 1.3 V to 6 V and draws ≤5 µA across its full operating range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Threshold Voltage | 1.40 V ±1.5% - precise fixed detection point for 1.5 V rail supervision |
| Supply Current | 3 µA typical at 3.3 V - enables ultra-low-power battery-backed operation |
| Operating Temperature | −55°C to +125°C - qualified for space, avionics, and harsh industrial environments |
| Reset Output Type | Open-drain - allows wired-OR configuration and flexible pull-up voltage selection |
| Hysteresis | 15 mV - prevents oscillation near threshold during slow-rising or noisy supplies |
| Propagation Delay | 5–100 µs - ensures deterministic reset timing under varying load and temperature |
| Absolute Max VDD | +7 V - provides margin against transient overvoltage events |
Pinout & Package
TPS3803G15MDCKREP is packaged in a 5-pin SC-70 (DCK) surface-mount package measuring 2.15 mm × 1.85 mm × 1.1 mm, with lead pitch of 0.65 mm and RoHS-compliant NiPdAu plating. The package is moisture-sensitive Level-1 (260°C peak reflow, unlimited floor life).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (NC) | No internal connection | Unused pin; must be left floating or grounded per layout best practice |
| 2 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary return path for internal circuitry and RESET sink current |
| 3 (RESET) | Active-low open-drain output | Drives low to assert reset; requires external pull-up to system VDD or another rail |
| 4 (VDD) | Power supply and sense input | Monitored rail; also powers internal circuitry; valid from 1.3 V to 6 V |
| 5 (NC) | No internal connection | Not bonded; electrically isolated; no routing or thermal pad required |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Controlled Baseline | Single assembly/test site and single fabrication site - ensures consistent parametric yield and traceability |
| Enhanced DMS Support | Diminishing Manufacturing Sources mitigation - long-term supply continuity for defense and aerospace programs |
| JEDEC-Qualified Reliability | HAST, temperature cycling, electromigration, and mold compound life testing - validated for 15+ year mission life |
| High Threshold Accuracy | ±1.5% over −55°C to +125°C - eliminates need for external calibration in critical reset applications |
| Low Supply Current | ≤5 µA max across full voltage/temperature range - extends battery life in unpowered standby modes |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3803G15QDCKREP | Same 1.40 V threshold and SC-70 package, but rated for −40°C to +125°C (not −55°C) | Lacks extended low-temperature qualification; unsuitable for cryogenic launch environments | Select when full military-grade cold start is not required and cost optimization is prioritized |
| TPS3803-01MDCKREP | Adjustable threshold via external resistors (1.226 V base), same M-temp grade and package | Requires two external resistors and PCB area; adds design complexity and BOM count | Choose only if programmable threshold is mandatory and 1.40 V fixed point is insufficient |
Compared with TPS3803G15QDCKREP, the TPS3803G15MDCKREP provides guaranteed functionality at −55°C - critical for space launch and arctic deployment - while TPS3803-01MDCKREP trades threshold rigidity for configurability, increasing design validation effort and component count.

FAQ
What is the exact threshold voltage tolerance of the TPS3803G15MDCKREP over temperature?
The TPS3803G15MDCKREP has a nominal threshold voltage of 1.40 V with ±1.5% accuracy over the full −55°C to +125°C operating range. This specification is guaranteed by TI's production test and includes effects of process variation, voltage coefficient, and temperature drift - no derating or external compensation is needed for compliant designs.
Does the TPS3803G15MDCKREP support dual-rail monitoring like the TPS3805 family?
No, the TPS3803G15MDCKREP monitors only the VDD supply rail. Pin 5 is marked NC (no connection), and the internal SENSE input is unimplemented. Dual-rail supervision requires the TPS3805H33MDCKREP or similar variant - the TPS3803G15MDCKREP is strictly a single-supply detector.
Can the RESET output of the TPS3803G15MDCKREP drive a 10 kΩ pull-up to 5 V?
Yes - the TPS3803G15MDCKREP's open-drain RESET output is rated for ±10 mA clamp current and can safely sink ≥5 mA at VOL ≤ 0.3 V. With a 10 kΩ pull-up to 5 V, the output will pull down to <0.3 V while sinking 0.5 mA, well within spec and compatible with 5 V logic interfaces.
Is the TPS3803G15MDCKREP pin-compatible with commercial-grade TPS3803G15 variants?
Yes - the TPS3803G15MDCKREP shares identical SC-70 (DCK) pinout, footprint, and terminal functions with TPS3803G15QDCKREP and catalog TPS3803G15. However, the M-suffix device requires stricter board handling due to enhanced plastic packaging and different moisture sensitivity labeling.
What is the minimum VDD required to guarantee RESET assertion during power-up?
The TPS3803G15MDCKREP asserts RESET when VDD rises above 0.8 V (power-up reset voltage, VIT ≤ 1.5 V). This ensures reliable reset generation even during very slow or weak power ramps - critical for systems powered by energy-harvesting sources or degraded batteries.
