Product details
Overview
TPS3808EG25DBVRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive-grade microprocessor supervisory circuit that monitors 2.5V system rails with ±0.5% threshold accuracy (2.33V nominal), asserts an open-drain RESET signal on undervoltage or manual reset, and supports user-programmable delay from 1.25ms to 150s via external capacitor. It operates from –40°C to +125°C in a 6-pin SOT-23 package and draws only 0.6μA typical quiescent current.
For engineers reviewing the TPS3808EG25DBVRQ1 datasheet, TPS3808EG25DBVRQ1 pinout, TPS3808EG25DBVRQ1 application, or TPS3808EG25DBVRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its fixed 2.5V monitoring threshold, SENSE/VDD separation for accurate rail sensing, CT-pin programmable reset delay, MR input for system-initiated reset, and AEC-Q100 qualification for safety-critical automotive domains.
Technical Context
The TPS3808EG25DBVRQ1 implements a precision bandgap reference and comparator architecture with built-in hysteresis (1–2.5%) to ensure clean RESET assertion/deassertion during voltage transients. Its SENSE pin operates independently from VDD, enabling accurate monitoring of remote power rails without supply coupling errors.
Reset timing is controlled by an internal 220nA current source charging an external capacitor on the CT pin - enabling precise, temperature-stable delay programming across 5 decades (1.25ms–150s). The MR input features a 90kΩ internal pull-up, allowing direct GPIO connection without external biasing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.7V to 6V - supports wide-input automotive systems including post-regulated 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5V rails |
| Threshold Voltage | 2.33V ±0.5% - factory-trimmed fixed threshold for 2.5V nominal rail monitoring |
| Quiescent Current | 0.6μA typical at 3.3V - enables always-on battery monitoring in low-power automotive modules |
| Reset Delay Range | 1.25ms to 150s - programmable via external CT capacitor (≥130pF), with fixed options at 20ms (CT open) or 300ms (CT→VDD) |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C junction - fully specified for automotive Grade 1 applications per AEC-Q100 |
| Output Type | Open-drain RESET - allows level-shifting up to 6V with external pull-up, compatible with diverse MCU reset inputs |
| Hysteresis | 1–2.5% of VIT - prevents chatter during slow-rising/falling supply transitions |
Pinout & Package
TPS3808EG25DBVRQ1 is housed in a 6-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package measuring 2.90mm × 1.60mm, optimized for space-constrained automotive PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| RESET | Open-drain output | Asserts low when SENSE < 2.33V or MR = low; requires external 10kΩ–1MΩ pull-up; supports voltage levels up to 6V |
| GND | Ground reference | Primary analog and digital ground return; must be low-impedance and adjacent to decoupling capacitor |
| MR | Manual reset input | Active-low logic input with 90kΩ internal pull-up to VDD; drives RESET low when pulled ≤0.3×VDD |
| CT | Reset delay timing control | Connects to external capacitor (≥130pF) to set delay; open = 20ms, tied to VDD via 40–200kΩ = 300ms |
| SENSE | Voltage monitoring input | High-impedance input (≤25nA leakage) for direct connection to 2.5V rail; separate from VDD to avoid supply noise coupling |
| VDD | Power supply input | 1.7–6V supply pin; requires 0.1μF ceramic decoupling capacitor placed adjacent to pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar supervisory circuit applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3808G25DBVRQ1 | Same pinout and electrical specs; differs only in production lot traceability and enhanced ESD rating (HBM ±3000V vs ±2000V) | Preferred for new designs requiring higher ESD robustness in high-humidity assembly environments | Select TPS3808G25DBVRQ1 when ESD margin beyond AEC-Q100 minimum is mandated by OEM process validation |
| MAX6375XR25+T | Fixed 2.5V threshold, but uses internal RC timing (no CT pin); 1.5μA quiescent current; SOT23-5 package (no MR pin) | Lacks manual reset and programmable delay - suitable only for simple power-on reset, not complex sequencing | Choose MAX6375XR25+T only for cost-sensitive, non-sequencing applications where MR and adjustable delay are unnecessary |
Compared with TPS3808EG25DBVRQ1, TPS3808G25DBVRQ1 offers identical functionality with improved ESD tolerance, while MAX6375XR25+T sacrifices MR capability and delay flexibility for lower BOM count and cost - making it viable only in static, single-event reset scenarios.

FAQ
What is the exact threshold voltage and accuracy of the TPS3808EG25DBVRQ1?
The TPS3808EG25DBVRQ1 has a nominal threshold voltage of 2.33V for a 2.5V rail, with ±0.5% accuracy over –40°C to +125°C. This specification is factory-trimmed and guaranteed in production test - no external calibration is needed. The TPS3808EG25DBVRQ1 achieves this using a precision bandgap reference and laser-trimmed resistor network, ensuring consistent performance across automotive temperature extremes and lifetime.
Can the TPS3808EG25DBVRQ1 monitor a voltage other than 2.5V?
No - the TPS3808EG25DBVRQ1 is a fixed-threshold variant configured exclusively for 2.5V rail monitoring (2.33V trip point). To supervise other rails, select a different part number from the family, such as TPS3808EG33DBVRQ1 for 3.3V or TPS3808EG12DBVRQ1 for 1.2V. The TPS3808EG25DBVRQ1 does not support external resistor dividers or adjustable thresholds; its internal reference is hard-coded for 2.33V.
How is the reset delay time programmed on the TPS3808EG25DBVRQ1?
The reset delay on the TPS3808EG25DBVRQ1 is set via the CT pin: leaving CT open yields 20ms, connecting CT to VDD through a 40–200kΩ resistor gives 300ms, and connecting CT to GND via a ≥130pF capacitor enables user-programmable delays from 1.25ms to 150s. The TPS3808EG25DBVRQ1 uses an internal 220nA current source to charge the capacitor - delay time is linearly proportional to capacitance value and unaffected by VDD variation.
Does the TPS3808EG25DBVRQ1 require an external pull-up resistor on the RESET pin?
Yes - the TPS3808EG25DBVRQ1 features an open-drain RESET output and requires an external pull-up resistor between RESET and the target MCU's reset rail (typically 10kΩ to 1MΩ). This allows level-shifting - e.g., pulling RESET to 3.3V or 5V even when VDD is 2.5V. Without the pull-up, the RESET signal remains undefined. The TPS3808EG25DBVRQ1 itself does not provide internal pull-up on RESET.
Is the MR (Manual Reset) pin of the TPS3808EG25DBVRQ1 internally pulled up?
Yes - the MR pin of the TPS3808EG25DBVRQ1 includes a factory-trimmed 90kΩ internal pull-up resistor to VDD, allowing direct connection to a GPIO without external biasing. Driving MR to ≤0.3×VDD asserts RESET; releasing MR lets the internal resistor pull it high, initiating the reset timeout period once SENSE exceeds 2.33V. This feature simplifies integration into MCU-based systems and eliminates discrete components in most implementations.
