Product details
Overview
TPS3806I33DBVR from Texas Instruments is a dual voltage detector IC with fixed 3.0 V VDD-sense threshold and adjustable LSENSE input (1.207 V nominal), featuring independent open-drain RESET and RSTSENSE outputs, 3 µA typical supply current at 3.3 V, and operation from -40°C to +85°C in battery monitoring circuits for Li-ion-powered portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the TPS3806I33DBVR datasheet, TPS3806I33DBVR pinout, TPS3806I33DBVR application, or TPS3806I33DBVR equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-threshold supervision capability, adjustable hysteresis via HSENSE, guaranteed reset assertion down to 0.8 V VDD, SOT-23-6 package compatibility, and low-quiescent-current operation for extended battery life.
Technical Context
The TPS3806I33DBVR integrates two independent comparators: one monitors VDD against a fixed internal 3.0 V threshold (VIT = 2.978–3.022 V at +25°C), while the other monitors LSENSE against a precision 1.207 V reference. HSENSE enables programmable hysteresis by setting an upper trip point for the LSENSE channel.
Both RESET and RSTSENSE are active-low open-drain outputs requiring external pull-up resistors. The device asserts outputs when VDD or LSENSE falls below their respective thresholds and deasserts them only after crossing the hysteresis-adjusted upper threshold, ensuring noise immunity in noisy battery environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDD Threshold | 3.0 V ±22 mV (2.978–3.022 V) - ensures reliable microcontroller reset during 3.3 V system brownout |
| LSENSE Reference | 1.207 V ±16 mV - enables precise battery voltage monitoring using external resistor dividers |
| Supply Current | 3 µA typical at 3.3 V - minimizes battery drain in always-on supervision applications |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C - supports industrial and portable equipment deployment across wide ambient conditions |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-voltage supervision applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3806J20DBVR | Fixed VDD threshold of 1.8 V instead of 3.0 V; identical LSENSE reference (1.207 V) and hysteresis architecture | Targeted for 1.8 V/2.5 V logic domains rather than 3.3 V systems; unsuitable for direct replacement in 3.3 V reset chains | Select only when supervising sub-2.0 V rails; requires redesign of VDD connection and reset pull-up voltage |
| MAX6326UT31D3+T | Single 3.08 V reset threshold, no LSENSE/HSENSE inputs; 1.6 µA supply current; SC70-5 package | Provides only main-rail supervision-no battery voltage monitoring capability; lacks dual-output flexibility | Choose when only VDD supervision is needed and board space permits SC70; not a functional substitute for dual-sense use cases |

FAQ
What is the exact VDD threshold voltage specification for TPS3806I33DBVR?
The TPS3806I33DBVR has a nominal VDD threshold of 3.0 V, with a guaranteed range of 2.978 V to 3.022 V at +25°C and 2.94 V to 3.06 V across the full -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range. This fixed threshold is internally generated and does not require external components.
How does the LSENSE input function in TPS3806I33DBVR?
The LSENSE input of the TPS3806I33DBVR compares an externally applied voltage-typically derived from a resistor divider across a battery-to a precision 1.207 V internal reference. When LSENSE falls below this value, RSTSENSE is asserted low; hysteresis is added via the HSENSE pin to prevent oscillation near the threshold.
Can TPS3806I33DBVR operate with supply voltages below 3.0 V?
Yes, the TPS3806I33DBVR operates with VDD as low as 1.3 V and guarantees reset assertion down to 0.8 V. However, its VDD-sense threshold remains fixed at 3.0 V; thus, RESET will not activate unless VDD rises above that level first, making it suitable for systems where 3.3 V rail startup must be validated.
What is the purpose of the HSENSE pin on TPS3806I33DBVR?
The HSENSE pin on TPS3806I33DBVR sets the upper trip point for the LSENSE comparator, enabling user-programmable hysteresis. By applying a voltage higher than the LSENSE threshold, it defines a window (60–90 mV wide) that prevents repeated toggling of RSTSENSE during slow or noisy battery voltage transitions near the trip point.
Is TPS3806I33DBVR pin-compatible with other devices in the TPS3806 family?
Yes, all TPS3806 variants-including TPS3806J20DBVR and TPS3806I33DBVR-share identical SOT-23-6 (DBV) pinout and package dimensions. However, VDD threshold differs between variants (1.8 V vs. 3.0 V), so direct substitution requires verification of system rail compatibility and may necessitate changes to reset pull-up configuration.
