Product details
Overview
TPS3808EG50DBVRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive-grade microprocessor supervisory circuit that monitors 5V power rails with ±0.5% threshold accuracy (4.65V 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 and draws only 0.6μA typical quiescent current.
For engineers reviewing the TPS3808EG50DBVRQ1 datasheet, TPS3808EG50DBVRQ1 pinout, TPS3808EG50DBVRQ1 application, or TPS3808EG50DBVRQ1 equivalent, key selection considerations include its fixed 5V monitoring threshold, SOT-23-6 package compatibility with space-constrained ADAS and digital cockpit designs, CT-pin programmable reset timing, and integrated 90kΩ MR pull-up resistor for simplified system integration.
Technical Context
The TPS3808EG50DBVRQ1 uses a precision internal reference to achieve ±0.5% undervoltage threshold accuracy at 4.65V and incorporates built-in hysteresis (1–2.5%) to prevent oscillatory reset assertion during voltage transients. Its reset delay is determined by an on-chip 220nA current source charging an external capacitor connected to the CT pin.
It features separate SENSE and VDD pins for independent monitoring and supply, an open-drain RESET output requiring an external pull-up (10kΩ–1MΩ), and a manual reset input (MR) with internal 90kΩ pull-up-enabling both autonomous power-rail supervision and processor-initiated reset coordination in automotive domain controllers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Threshold Voltage | 4.65V nominal (±0.5% accuracy); precisely monitors 5V rails without external divider |
| Quiescent Current | 0.6μA typical; enables always-on battery monitoring in automotive infotainment and telematics |
| Reset Delay Range | 1.25ms–150s; set via CT pin capacitor (≥130pF), enabling compliance with diverse MCU boot timing |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +125°C (TJ); qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 for under-hood and cockpit applications |
| Supply Voltage | 1.7V–6V; supports wide-input systems including 3.3V, 5V, and 12V-derived rails |
| Output Type | Open-drain RESET; allows level-shifting up to 6V and wired-OR with other reset sources |
| MR Input | Logic-compatible with 0.3VDD/0.7VDD thresholds and internal 90kΩ pull-up; eliminates external biasing |
Pinout & Package
TPS3808EG50DBVRQ1 is housed in a compact 6-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package measuring 2.90mm × 1.60mm, optimized for high-density automotive PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| RESET | Open-drain output | Asserts low during undervoltage or MR event; requires external pull-up (10kΩ–1MΩ) to define logic-high level |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return path for internal circuitry and external decoupling; must be low-impedance |
| MR | Manual reset input | Drives RESET low when pulled ≤0.3VDD; internally pulled up to VDD via 90kΩ resistor |
| CT | Reset delay programming | Connects to ground-referenced capacitor (≥130pF) to set delay from 1.25ms–150s; open = 20ms, tied to VDD = 300ms |
| SENSE | Monitoring input | Directly senses 5V rail (or other voltage via divider); trips at 4.65V with 1–2.5% hysteresis |
| VDD | Supply input | Powers internal circuitry; requires 0.1μF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for automotive use across –40°C to +125°C junction temperature |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar supervisory circuit applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3808G50DBVRQ1 | Same pinout and electrical specs; differs only in production lot traceability and packaging marking per TI's Q1 revision control | No functional difference; used interchangeably in new designs and legacy BOM updates | Select TPS3808G50DBVRQ1 for standard automotive qualification with identical performance |
| MAX6326LT50D3+T | Fixed 5V threshold, 200ms factory-set delay, 1.5μA IDD, SOT23-6 package; no CT/MR programmability | Lacks adjustable delay and manual reset-suitable only where fixed timing suffices and MR coordination is unnecessary | Choose MAX6326LT50D3+T only when design constraints prohibit external capacitor routing or require zero-config reset behavior |
Compared with TPS3808EG50DBVRQ1, TPS3808G50DBVRQ1 offers identical functionality with updated manufacturing traceability, while MAX6326LT50D3+T trades programmability for lower design complexity-making it viable only in fixed-timing, non-MR automotive subsystems.

FAQ
What is the exact threshold voltage and accuracy of the TPS3808EG50DBVRQ1?
The TPS3808EG50DBVRQ1 has a nominal undervoltage threshold of 4.65V with ±0.5% accuracy over temperature (–40°C to +125°C). This specification applies specifically to the EG50 variant and is verified per AEC-Q100 test conditions. The device achieves this precision using an internal bandgap reference and trimmed comparator, eliminating need for external calibration in 5V rail supervision.
How is the reset delay time configured on the TPS3808EG50DBVRQ1?
The TPS3808EG50DBVRQ1 reset delay is configured via the CT pin: leaving CT open yields ~20ms, connecting CT to VDD through a 40kΩ–200kΩ resistor yields ~300ms, and connecting CT to GND via a ≥130pF capacitor enables user-adjustable delays from 1.25ms to 150s. The delay is generated by an internal 220nA current source charging the external capacitor, and the TPS3808EG50DBVRQ1 datasheet provides Equation 1 for precise calculation.
Does the TPS3808EG50DBVRQ1 require an external pull-up resistor on the RESET pin?
Yes, the TPS3808EG50DBVRQ1 RESET pin is open-drain and requires an external pull-up resistor between 10kΩ and 1MΩ to define the logic-high state. This resistor may connect to a voltage higher than VDD (up to 6V), enabling level-shifted reset signaling. The TPS3808EG50DBVRQ1 itself does not integrate a pull-up; omission results in undefined RESET behavior during deassertion.
Can the TPS3808EG50DBVRQ1 monitor voltages other than 5V?
The TPS3808EG50DBVRQ1 is factory-trimmed for 5V (4.65V threshold) supervision and is not adjustable-its SENSE pin directly monitors 5V rails. To supervise other voltages, select alternate variants (e.g., TPS3808EG33DBVRQ1 for 3.3V) or use the adjustable TPS3808EG01DBVRQ1 with external resistor divider. Using TPS3808EG50DBVRQ1 for non-5V rails violates its specified operating conditions and invalidates threshold accuracy.
What is the purpose of the separate SENSE and VDD pins on the TPS3808EG50DBVRQ1?
The separate SENSE and VDD pins allow the TPS3808EG50DBVRQ1 to monitor one voltage rail (e.g., 5V) while being powered from another (e.g., 3.3V or 12V-derived 5V), decoupling supervision function from local supply noise and enabling flexible power architecture. This isolation improves immunity to VDD transients and permits monitoring of unregulated or higher-voltage rails without exposing internal circuitry to overvoltage stress.
