Product details
Overview
TPS3808EG09DBVR from Texas Instruments is a low-quiescent-current, fixed-threshold supervisory circuit with 0.9V undervoltage detection, ±0.5% threshold accuracy, 0.6μA typical supply current, and user-programmable reset delay from 1.25ms to 10s in a 6-pin SOT-23 package. It monitors power rails in battery-powered or thermally constrained systems such as surgical equipment and DC-input BLDC motor drives.
For engineers reviewing the TPS3808EG09DBVR datasheet, TPS3808EG09DBVR pinout, TPS3808EG09DBVR application, or TPS3808EG09DBVR equivalent, key selection considerations include its 0.9V fixed threshold, open-drain RESET output requiring external pull-up, separate SENSE/VDD pins for rail isolation, -40°C to +125°C operation, and CT-pin programmable delay configuration.
Technical Context
The TPS3808EG09DBVR implements a precision voltage comparator with internal 0.5% threshold accuracy referenced to a stable bandgap, hysteresis of 1–2.5% of VIT, and glitch immunity of 5µs on SENSE and 50ns on MR. Its reset assertion logic follows a strict truth table where RESET goes low if either SENSE < 0.84V or MR < 0.3×VDD.
Reset de-assertion requires both SENSE > VIT + VHYS and MR > 0.7×VDD, followed by a precisely timed delay generated by an internal 220nA current source charging an external capacitor on the CT pin - enabling delay tuning from 1.25ms (130pF) to 10s (150nF) without affecting quiescent current.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Threshold Voltage | Fixed 0.84V (nominal), ±0.5% accuracy ensures reliable 0.9V rail monitoring across temperature |
| Quiescent Current | 0.6μA typical at 3.3V enables multi-year battery life in always-on monitoring applications |
| Reset Delay Range | 1.25ms–10s via CT pin capacitor; supports fast startup (MCU boot) or long hold-off (power sequencing) |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C junction range allows deployment in industrial motor drives and medical equipment |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.7V to 6V accommodates wide input rails including Li-ion battery stacks and post-regulated supplies |
| Output Type | Open-drain RESET with 400mV max VOL at 1mA supports level-shifting up to 6V with external pull-up |
| SENSE Input Bias | ≤1.25μA leakage at 6V minimizes error in high-impedance resistor-divider monitoring circuits |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT-23 (DBV), 6-pin, 2.90mm × 1.60mm body size, surface-mount, RoHS-compliant, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: RESET | Open-drain output | Asserts low during undervoltage or manual reset; requires 10kΩ–1MΩ external pull-up to set logic-high voltage |
| 2: GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for internal circuitry and CT capacitor discharge; must be low-impedance |
| 3: MR | Manual reset input | Logic-low (≤0.3×VDD) forces immediate RESET assertion; internally pulled up to VDD via 90kΩ |
| 4: CT | Delay timing control | Connects to external capacitor (≥130pF) to set reset timeout; open = 20ms, tied to VDD = 300ms |
| 5: SENSE | Monitoring input | Direct connection to monitored rail; comparator trips at 0.84V with hysteresis to reject noise |
| 6: VDD | Supply input | Power source for internal circuitry; requires 0.1μF ceramic decoupling capacitor placed adjacent to pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 0.9V threshold | Eliminates external resistor divider, reducing BOM count and layout area for standard 0.9V rail monitoring |
| 0.6μA quiescent current | Enables continuous supervision in energy-harvesting or coin-cell-powered devices without measurable battery drain |
| Separate SENSE and VDD pins | Allows independent monitoring of a different rail than the supervisor's supply (e.g., monitor 0.9V core while powered from 3.3V) |
| CT-pin programmable delay | Supports precise timing alignment with system power-up sequences without firmware involvement or additional timers |
| 125°C operational rating | Validates use in under-hood automotive modules, industrial inverters, and sealed medical enclosures without derating |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar supervisory circuit applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3808G09DBVR | Same pinout and threshold, but standard-grade (-40°C to +85°C) and higher 1.5μA max IDD | Limited to commercial-temperature environments; unsuitable for motor drive or surgical thermal profiles | Select only if operating ambient stays below 85°C and higher quiescent current is acceptable |
| MAX6326LT09D2T | 0.9V threshold, SOT-23-5, no MR pin, fixed 200ms delay, 1.6μA IDD | Lacks manual reset and adjustable delay; smaller footprint but less flexible timing control | Choose when board space is critical and fixed delay suffices; verify absence of MR does not compromise system safety logic |
Compared with TPS3808EG09DBVR, TPS3808G09DBVR trades extended temperature capability and ultra-low current for cost reduction in benign environments, while MAX6326LT09D2T sacrifices configurability and current efficiency for minimal footprint - making TPS3808EG09DBVR optimal for thermally demanding, battery-sensitive, or timing-flexible designs.

FAQ
What is the exact threshold voltage and accuracy of the TPS3808EG09DBVR?
The TPS3808EG09DBVR has a nominal threshold voltage of 0.84V (corresponding to a 0.9V nominal supply rail) with ±0.5% accuracy over -40°C to +125°C. This specification is guaranteed by TI's precision internal reference and applies directly to the SENSE pin; it does not require external calibration or trimming.
Can the TPS3808EG09DBVR monitor a voltage rail different from its own supply voltage?
Yes. The TPS3808EG09DBVR uses separate SENSE and VDD pins, allowing it to monitor a 0.9V rail (connected to SENSE) while being powered from a different supply such as 3.3V or 5V (applied to VDD). This isolation prevents supply interaction and enables accurate low-voltage rail supervision in multi-rail systems.
How is the reset delay time configured on the TPS3808EG09DBVR?
The reset delay on the TPS3808EG09DBVR is set via the CT pin: leaving CT open yields 20ms, connecting CT to VDD via a 40kΩ–200kΩ resistor gives 300ms, and connecting CT to GND through a capacitor (≥130pF) enables user-adjustable delays from 1.25ms to 10s. The delay is generated by an internal 220nA current source charging the capacitor.
Does the TPS3808EG09DBVR require an external pull-up resistor on the RESET pin?
Yes. The TPS3808EG09DBVR features an open-drain RESET output that must be pulled up externally with a resistor between 10kΩ and 1MΩ. This allows the RESET signal to interface with logic families operating at voltages up to 6V, independent of the TPS3808EG09DBVR's VDD level.
What is the maximum operating temperature and thermal performance of the TPS3808EG09DBVR?
The TPS3808EG09DBVR is fully specified from -40°C to +125°C junction temperature and packaged in a SOT-23 (DBV) with RθJA = 210.8°C/W. Its 0.6μA quiescent current minimizes self-heating, making it suitable for sealed enclosures and high-ambient environments like motor drive power stages and surgical tools.
