Product details
Overview
TPS3803G15QDCKRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an automotive-grade, single-supply voltage supervisor IC with fixed 1.4 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), asserts RESET when VDD drops below 1.4 V, and deasserts upon recovery with built-in hysteresis. Used for reliable power-on reset in 1.5-V rail systems such as automotive infotainment microcontrollers.
For engineers reviewing the TPS3803G15QDCKRQ1 datasheet, TPS3803G15QDCKRQ1 pinout, TPS3803G15QDCKRQ1 application, or TPS3803G15QDCKRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include fixed 1.4 V detection accuracy (±1.5%), SC-70 package compatibility, –40°C to 125°C operation, open-drain output drive capability, and automotive AEC-Q100 qualification.
Technical Context
The TPS3803G15QDCKRQ1 implements a precision bandgap-based comparator with internal 1.4 V reference and 15 mV hysteresis to prevent false resets during supply transients. Its VDD-only monitoring architecture eliminates external resistor dividers, simplifying design for dedicated 1.5-V rail supervision.
RESET assertion occurs when VDD falls below 1.4 V; deassertion requires VDD to exceed 1.415 V due to hysteresis. Power-up reset initiates at VDD ≥ 0.8 V, and the device remains functional across 1.3 V to 6 V supply range with immunity to short negative transients on VDD.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Threshold Voltage | 1.4 V ±1.5% - ensures accurate 1.5-V rail monitoring with minimal undervoltage risk |
| Supply Current | 3 μA typical at 3.3 V - enables ultra-low-power operation in always-on automotive subsystems |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to 125°C - qualified for under-hood and infotainment applications per AEC-Q100 |
| Reset Output Type | Open-drain active-low - allows wired-OR configuration and flexible pull-up voltage selection |
| Hysteresis | 15 mV - prevents oscillation during slow-rising or noisy supply rails |
| Propagation Delay | 5–100 μs - provides fast response to supply faults while filtering sub-microsecond noise |
| Package | 5-pin SC-70 (2.00 mm × 1.25 mm) - supports high-density PCB layouts in space-constrained modules |
Pinout & Package
TPS3803G15QDCKRQ1 is housed in a 5-pin SC-70 package (DCK), with pin 1 and pin 5 designated as no-connect (NC) terminals. The functional pins are GND (pin 2), RESET (pin 3), VDD (pin 4), and two NC pins.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pin 2) | Ground reference | Primary return path for internal circuitry and RESET output sink current |
| RESET (Pin 3) | Active-low open-drain output | Drives low when VDD < 1.4 V; requires external pull-up for logic-high state |
| VDD (Pin 4) | Supply and sense input | Monitors 1.5-V rail directly; powers internal circuitry and defines detection threshold |
| NC (Pin 1) | No internal connection | Must be left unconnected; not bonded or used internally |
| NC (Pin 5) | No internal connection | Must be left unconnected; not bonded or used internally |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for automotive use from –40°C to 125°C ambient, supporting safety-critical reset functions |
| Fixed 1.4 V threshold with ±1.5% accuracy | Eliminates external resistor divider, reducing BOM count and layout sensitivity for 1.5-V systems |
| 3 μA typical supply current | Minimizes quiescent power draw in battery-backed or always-on vehicle modules |
| Transient immunity on VDD | Rejects short negative spikes (<100 ns, <100 mV overdrive) without false reset assertion |
| Power-up reset at 0.8 V | Ensures processor remains held in reset until sufficient supply headroom exists for stable operation |
Applications
| Automotive Infotainment MCU Reset | ADAS Camera Module Power Sequencing |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Monitors 1.5-V core supply of SoC in head-unit display system during cold cranking and load dump events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single-point voltage supervisor providing active-low reset signal to ARM Cortex-A processor. Use Value: Prevents firmware corruption by holding MCU in reset until 1.5-V rail stabilizes above 1.4 V with 15 mV hysteresis. |
Use Scenario: Ensures clean power-up of image sensor and ISP in forward-facing camera during ignition cycle. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dedicated supervisor for 1.5-V analog/PLL domain, independent of main 3.3-V digital rail. Use Value: Guarantees synchronized release of reset only after 1.5-V rail meets timing margin requirements for pixel clock stability. |
| Instrument Cluster Microcontroller Supervision | Telematics Control Unit (TCU) Low-Voltage Detection |
Use Scenario: Validates integrity of 1.5-V supply powering cluster MCU and CAN transceiver interface logic.

Use Scenario: Detects brownout on 1.5-V backup supply feeding real-time clock and nonvolatile memory in TCU. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fault monitor for secondary power domain, triggering controlled shutdown before data loss. Use Value: Provides fail-safe indication with 3 μA quiescent current, extending battery runtime during extended parking mode. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3803-01QDCKRQ1 | Adjustable threshold via external resistor divider; 1.226 V internal reference; same SC-70 package and open-drain output | Supports monitoring of any rail ≥1.226 V (e.g., 2.5 V, 5 V); requires two external resistors and layout area | Select when flexibility across multiple voltage rails is needed; avoid if 1.5-V-only monitoring suffices and BOM minimization is critical |
| TLV803EB33DBVRQ1 | Fixed 3.3 V threshold; 0.9 μA supply current; same AEC-Q100 Grade 1 rating and SC-70 package | Designed for 3.3-V systems only; incompatible with 1.5-V rail supervision without level-shifting | Choose only for 3.3-V applications; not a functional substitute for TPS3803G15QDCKRQ1's 1.4 V threshold requirement |
Compared with TPS3803-01QDCKRQ1, TPS3803G15QDCKRQ1 reduces component count and layout complexity for 1.5-V systems; compared with TLV803EB33DBVRQ1, it provides correct threshold alignment for low-voltage domains where 3.3-V supervision would cause premature reset assertion.

FAQ
What is the exact threshold voltage of the TPS3803G15QDCKRQ1 and how is it specified?
The TPS3803G15QDCKRQ1 has a nominal threshold voltage of 1.4 V, with guaranteed accuracy of ±1.5% over temperature (–40°C to 125°C) and supply range. This value is factory-trimmed and specified in the Electrical Characteristics table of the datasheet (SGLS228C, Section 7.5). The actual threshold for a given unit falls between 1.379 V and 1.421 V at 25°C, and hysteresis adds 15 mV to ensure clean deassertion.
Does the TPS3803G15QDCKRQ1 support dual-rail monitoring like the TPS3805H33-Q1?
No, the TPS3803G15QDCKRQ1 monitors only the VDD pin and does not support a second adjustable SENSE input. Unlike the dual-monitoring TPS3805H33-Q1, this device is designed exclusively for single-rail 1.5-V supervision. Pin 5 is marked NC (no connection) in the TPS3803G15-Q1 variant, confirming absence of SENSE functionality.
What is the recommended pull-up resistor value for the open-drain RESET output of the TPS3803G15QDCKRQ1?
Texas Instruments recommends a 10-kΩ pull-up resistor from RESET to VDD for typical applications. This value balances rise time (with CL ≤ 50 pF), power consumption (<0.33 mW at 3.3 V), and noise immunity. Lower values (e.g., 4.7 kΩ) may be used for faster edges in noisy environments, provided the TPS3803G15QDCKRQ1's 5-mA sink capability is not exceeded during assertion.
Is the TPS3803G15QDCKRQ1 compatible with 1.8-V or 2.5-V supply rails?
No - the TPS3803G15QDCKRQ1 is optimized for 1.5-V systems and will assert RESET whenever VDD drops below its fixed 1.4-V threshold. Applying 1.8 V or 2.5 V is within its 1.3–6 V operating range, but detection occurs at 1.4 V, making it unsuitable for higher-rail supervision. For those voltages, TPS3803-01QDCKRQ1 (adjustable) or TLV803xx-Q1 series (fixed 1.8 V/2.5 V options) are appropriate alternatives.
How does the TPS3803G15QDCKRQ1 behave during power-up and what is its minimum valid supply voltage?
The TPS3803G15QDCKRQ1 begins operation when VDD reaches 0.8 V and asserts RESET until VDD exceeds 1.4 V. Its absolute minimum functional supply is 1.3 V per Recommended Operating Conditions. Below 1.3 V, the internal reference and comparator may not stabilize reliably, so system-level power sequencing must ensure VDD rises monotonically through 0.8 V → 1.4 V without stalling in the 0.8–1.3 V range.
