Product details
Overview
TPS3808EG15DBVR from Texas Instruments is a low-quiescent-current, programmable-delay supervisory circuit designed to monitor 1.5V power rails in embedded systems. It features ±0.5% threshold accuracy (1.40V nominal), 0.6μA typical supply current, 20ms/300ms fixed or 1.25ms–10s capacitor-programmable reset delay, and operates across –40°C to +125°C. It is used in DC-input BLDC motor drives to ensure safe microcontroller startup after undervoltage events.
For engineers reviewing the TPS3808EG15DBVR datasheet, TPS3808EG15DBVR pinout, TPS3808EG15DBVR application, or TPS3808EG15DBVR equivalent, key selection considerations include its 1.40V undervoltage threshold with 1% typical accuracy, open-drain RESET output requiring external pull-up, SOT-23-6 package compatibility, manual reset (MR) input for system-initiated resets, and CT-pin-based delay configuration options.
Technical Context
The TPS3808EG15DBVR implements a precision voltage comparator with internal 0.4V reference and resistor-divider-independent threshold setting for 1.5V rails. Its reset assertion logic responds to either SENSE voltage falling below 1.40V or MR pin pulled low, holding RESET asserted for a user-defined delay after both conditions clear.
It uses an on-chip 220nA current source to charge an external CT capacitor, enabling accurate timing from 1.25ms to 10s; CT left open yields 20ms, tied to VDD via 40–200kΩ yields 300ms. The device includes built-in hysteresis (1–2.5%), glitch immunity (5μs on SENSE, 50ns on MR), and operates with VDD from 1.7V to 6V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Threshold Voltage (VIT) | 1.40V ±0.5% - precisely monitors 1.5V rail with minimal tolerance drift over temperature. |
| Quiescent Current (IDD) | 0.6μA typical at 3.3V - enables multi-year battery life in always-on monitoring applications. |
| Reset Delay Range | 1.25ms–10s programmable via CT capacitor - supports diverse MCU boot timing requirements without firmware changes. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for industrial and automotive under-hood environments. |
| Output Type | Open-drain RESET - allows level-shifting up to 6V and wired-OR with other reset sources. |
| SENSE Input Bias | ≤1.25μA at 6V - minimizes loading on monitored rail and avoids interference with sensitive analog supplies. |
| Hysteresis | 1–2.5% of VIT - prevents chatter during slow-rising/falling supply transitions near threshold. |
Pinout & Package
TPS3808EG15DBVR is housed in a 6-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package measuring 2.90mm × 1.60mm, optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts in motor control and metering applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| RESET (Pin 1) | Open-drain output | Drives low during reset assertion; requires external 10kΩ–1MΩ pull-up to define logic-high voltage (up to 6V). |
| GND (Pin 2) | Ground reference | Primary return path for internal circuitry and CT capacitor discharge; must be low-impedance. |
| MR (Pin 3) | Manual reset input | Logic-low (≤0.3×VDD) asserts RESET; internally pulled up to VDD via 90kΩ resistor. |
| CT (Pin 4) | Reset delay programming | Connect to GND via capacitor ≥130pF for programmable delay; open = 20ms, tied to VDD = 300ms. |
| SENSE (Pin 5) | Voltage monitoring input | Directly connects to 1.5V rail; comparator triggers RESET if voltage drops below 1.40V. |
| VDD (Pin 6) | Supply input | Accepts 1.7–6V; requires local 0.1μF ceramic decoupling capacitor for stable reference operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ±0.5% threshold accuracy | Ensures reliable 1.5V rail monitoring across full temperature range without calibration. |
| 0.6μA quiescent current | Reduces standby power in battery-backed systems such as electricity meters and portable medical devices. |
| Programmable reset delay (1.25ms–10s) | Eliminates need for multiple fixed-delay parts; accommodates varying MCU initialization sequences. |
| Separate SENSE and VDD pins | Allows monitoring of independent voltage domains (e.g., 1.5V core rail while powered from 3.3V supply). |
| Glitch-immune MR and SENSE inputs | Rejects transients ≤5μs on SENSE and ≤50ns on MR, preventing spurious resets in noisy industrial environments. |
Applications
| DC-Input BLDC Motor Drive | Electricity Meter |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar supervisory circuit applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3808G15DBVR | Same pinout and threshold (1.40V), but standard-grade (–40°C to +85°C) and higher quiescent current (1.1μA typical). | Not rated for extended temperature industrial use; unsuitable for BLDC motor drives operating at 125°C junction. | Select TPS3808G15DBVR only for cost-sensitive commercial applications where ambient temperature stays below 85°C. |
| MAX6326LT15D3+T | Fixed 1.5V threshold, 2.5μA quiescent current, 200ms fixed delay, SOT-23-5 package (no MR pin). | Lacks manual reset input and programmable delay; incompatible pinout prevents drop-in replacement. | Choose MAX6326LT15D3+T only when MR functionality is unnecessary and board layout allows SOT-23-5 footprint change. |
Compared with TPS3808G15DBVR, the TPS3808EG15DBVR provides guaranteed operation at +125°C and 45% lower quiescent current-critical for thermally constrained motor drives. Against MAX6326LT15D3+T, it offers design flexibility via MR input and CT-programmable delay, albeit with a 6-pin footprint.

FAQ
What is the exact undervoltage threshold voltage of the TPS3808EG15DBVR?
The TPS3808EG15DBVR has a nominal undervoltage threshold (VIT) of 1.40V with ±0.5% accuracy over –40°C to +125°C. This value is factory-trimmed and applies specifically to the 1.5V nominal supply rail it is designated to monitor, as confirmed in TI's SNVSCE0B datasheet Table 4 and Section 6.5.
How does the CT pin configure reset delay time on the TPS3808EG15DBVR?
The CT pin on the TPS3808EG15DBVR sets reset delay via three configurations: left open for 20ms, tied to VDD through 40–200kΩ for 300ms, or connected to GND via capacitor ≥130pF for 1.25ms–10s programmable delay. The internal 220nA current source charges the capacitor to determine timing, per Equation 1 in the datasheet Section 8.3.2.
Can the TPS3808EG15DBVR monitor a voltage rail other than 1.5V?
No-the TPS3808EG15DBVR is a fixed-threshold variant calibrated exclusively for 1.5V rails (1.40V trip point). To monitor other voltages, select alternate part numbers like TPS3808EG33DBVR (3.3V) or the adjustable TPS3808EG01DBVR with external resistor divider, as specified in Table 4 of the SNVSCE0B datasheet.
What is the maximum supply voltage the TPS3808EG15DBVR can tolerate on its VDD pin?
The TPS3808EG15DBVR supports VDD from 1.7V to 6V per Absolute Maximum Ratings (Section 6.1) and Recommended Operating Conditions (Section 6.3). Exceeding 6V risks permanent damage; operation above 6V is not supported even momentarily.
Does the TPS3808EG15DBVR require an external pull-up resistor on the RESET pin?
Yes-the TPS3808EG15DBVR features an open-drain RESET output and requires an external pull-up resistor between RESET and the target supply (e.g., 3.3V or 5V), sized 10kΩ to 1MΩ per Section 5 Pin Functions and Figure 9-1. Without it, RESET cannot achieve a valid logic-high state.
