Product details
Overview
TPS3808EG19DBVRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive-grade microprocessor supervisory circuit that monitors 1.9V system rails with ±0.5% threshold accuracy, asserts an open-drain RESET signal on undervoltage or manual reset, and supports user-programmable delay from 1.25ms to 150s. It operates from –40°C to +125°C and draws only 0.6μA typical quiescent current in a 6-pin SOT-23 package.
For engineers reviewing the TPS3808EG19DBVRQ1 datasheet, TPS3808EG19DBVRQ1 pinout, TPS3808EG19DBVRQ1 application, or TPS3808EG19DBVRQ1 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world automotive use cases, and validated alternative options for ADAS, digital cockpit, and telematics power-rail monitoring.
Technical Context
The TPS3808EG19DBVRQ1 uses an internal precision reference to achieve ±0.5% fixed-threshold accuracy at 1.77V (1.9V nominal rail), with built-in hysteresis (1–2.5%) ensuring clean RESET assertion/deassertion. Its SENSE pin monitors external voltage independently of VDD, enabling reliable supervision of core or I/O rails even during brownout conditions.
Reset delay is controlled via the CT pin: open-circuit yields 20ms, resistor-to-VDD gives 300ms, and a ground-referenced capacitor (≥130pF) enables full programmability from 1.25ms to 150s using a 220nA internal current source. The MR input features a 90kΩ internal pull-up and responds within 500ns to initiate reset on demand.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Threshold Voltage | 1.77V ±0.5% - precisely matches 1.9V supply rail with minimal tolerance drift over temperature. |
| Quiescent Current | 0.6μA typical - enables always-on battery monitoring without compromising vehicle battery life. |
| Reset Delay Range | 1.25ms to 150s - fully configurable via external capacitor on CT pin for diverse MCU boot timing requirements. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 for under-hood and infotainment module deployment. |
| Output Type | Open-drain RESET - supports level-shifting up to 6V and flexible pull-up to host processor voltage domain. |
| SENSE Input Bias | ±25nA max - minimizes loading error on low-current voltage rails like MCU core supplies. |
| Hysteresis | 1–2.5% of VIT - prevents chatter during slow-rising/falling supply transitions near threshold. |
Pinout & Package
TPS3808EG19DBVRQ1 is housed in a compact 6-pin SOT-23 package (2.9mm × 1.6mm), optimized for space-constrained automotive PCBs and compatible with standard reflow profiles.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| RESET | Open-drain output | Asserts low during undervoltage or MR event; requires external 10kΩ–1MΩ pull-up; supports voltage domains up to 6V. |
| GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for internal circuitry and RESET sink current; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane. |
| MR | Manual reset input | Logic-low (≤0.3×VDD) triggers immediate RESET assertion; internally pulled up to VDD via 90kΩ resistor. |
| CT | Delay timing control | Connects to external capacitor (≥130pF) to set precise reset timeout; open = 20ms, resistor-to-VDD = 300ms. |
| SENSE | Voltage monitoring input | Directly connects to monitored rail (e.g., 1.9V core); high-impedance input (±25nA) avoids loading sensitive supplies. |
| VDD | Supply input | Power source (1.7–6V); requires local 0.1μF ceramic decoupling capacitor for stable reference operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for automotive use from –40°C to +125°C junction temperature with full reliability testing. |
| Fixed 1.77V threshold accuracy | ±0.5% over temperature eliminates need for external calibration or trimming in production systems. |
| Ultra-low 0.6μA quiescent current | Enables permanent connection to vehicle battery without measurable drain during sleep modes. |
| Independent SENSE and VDD pins | Allows monitoring of voltage rails different from device supply (e.g., monitor 1.9V core while powered from 3.3V I/O rail). |
| Programmable reset delay | Supports both fixed delays (20ms/300ms) and wide-range capacitor-based tuning (1.25ms–150s) for flexible system boot sequencing. |
Applications
| ADAS Domain Controller | Automotive Gateway |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar supervisory circuit applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3808G19QDBVRQ1 | Same pinout and electrical specs; differs only in marking (G vs EG prefix indicates minor revision or test bin) | No functional difference; identical AEC-Q100 qualification and performance across temperature | Select when sourcing newer manufacturing lots or requiring TI's latest wafer fab revision. |
| MAX6373HETA+T | Fixed 1.85V threshold (±1.5%), 2.5μA quiescent current, 200ms fixed delay, no CT programmability | Lacks adjustable delay and ultra-low IQ; suited for simpler cost-sensitive modules without complex boot timing | Choose only if design requires no delay tuning and can tolerate higher supply current and looser threshold accuracy. |
Compared with TPS3808EG19DBVRQ1, TPS3808G19QDBVRQ1 offers identical functionality with updated process/test, while MAX6373HETA+T trades programmability and efficiency for lower unit cost in non-critical applications.

FAQ
What is the exact threshold voltage and accuracy of the TPS3808EG19DBVRQ1?
The TPS3808EG19DBVRQ1 has a nominal threshold voltage of 1.77V, corresponding to a 1.9V supply rail, with ±0.5% accuracy over the full –40°C to +125°C operating temperature range. This specification is confirmed in the device's Electrical Characteristics table and applies specifically to the EG19 variant, not generic family values.
Does the TPS3808EG19DBVRQ1 support programmable reset delay, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the TPS3808EG19DBVRQ1 supports programmable reset delay from 1.25ms to 150s using an external capacitor on the CT pin. A ≥130pF capacitor connected between CT and GND sets the delay; the internal 220nA current source charges it to a threshold, determining timeout. Open CT yields 20ms; resistor-to-VDD yields 300ms.
Can the TPS3808EG19DBVRQ1 monitor a voltage rail different from its own supply voltage?
Yes, the TPS3808EG19DBVRQ1 uses separate SENSE and VDD pins, allowing it to monitor a 1.9V rail (via SENSE) while being powered from a different supply such as 3.3V or 5V on VDD. This isolation ensures accurate supervision even during VDD brownouts or mixed-voltage system designs.
What is the quiescent current of the TPS3808EG19DBVRQ1, and why does it matter for automotive use?
The TPS3808EG19DBVRQ1 draws only 0.6μA typical quiescent current. This ultra-low IQ is critical for automotive always-on systems-such as telematics or body control modules-where continuous supervision must not accelerate battery discharge during extended vehicle-off periods.
Is the TPS3808EG19DBVRQ1 AEC-Q100 qualified, and what grade does it meet?
Yes, the TPS3808EG19DBVRQ1 is AEC-Q100 qualified and meets Grade 1 specifications, meaning it is rated for operation from –40°C to +125°C junction temperature and has passed stress tests including HTOL, TC, and ESD per automotive reliability standards.
