Product details
Overview
TPS3808G25DRVT from Texas Instruments is a low-quiescent-current, programmable-delay supervisory circuit designed to monitor 2.5-V system rails and assert an open-drain RESET signal when the SENSE voltage drops below 2.33 V or MR is pulled low. It delivers 0.5% threshold accuracy, 2.4 μA typical supply current, and user-selectable reset delay from 1.25 ms to 10 s-enabling reliable power-on reset in battery-powered microcontroller systems.
For engineers reviewing the TPS3808G25DRVT datasheet, TPS3808G25DRVT pinout, TPS3808G25DRVT application, or TPS3808G25DRVT equivalent, key selection considerations include its fixed 2.33-V threshold for 2.5-V rails, SOT-23-6 package compatibility, open-drain RESET output with external pull-up support up to 6.5 V, and operation across –40°C to 125°C junction temperature.
Technical Context
The TPS3808G25DRVT implements a precision voltage comparator with built-in hysteresis (1% of VIT) and an on-chip 220-nA current source that charges an external capacitor on the CT pin to set reset delay. Its SENSE input monitors system voltage directly, while MR provides asynchronous manual reset with 90-kΩ internal pull-up.
RESET assertion occurs immediately upon SENSE falling below 2.33 V or MR dropping below 0.3×VDD; de-assertion requires both inputs to exceed their thresholds *and* the full delay period to elapse. The device operates from 1.7 V to 6.5 V supply and maintains 2.4 μA quiescent current across this range at 25°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Threshold Voltage (VIT) | 2.33 V - precisely calibrated for monitoring 2.5-V rails with ±0.5% accuracy at TJ = –40°C to 125°C |
| Quiescent Current (IDD) | 2.4 μA typical - enables multi-year battery life in portable devices without compromising supervision reliability |
| Reset Delay Range | 1.25 ms to 10 s - programmable via CT pin capacitor (≥100 pF), or fixed at 20 ms (CT open) or 300 ms (CT to VDD) |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.7 V to 6.5 V - supports wide-input systems including Li-ion, USB, and industrial 3.3/5-V rails |
| Output Type | Open-drain RESET - allows level-shifting up to 6.5 V with external pull-up resistor (10 kΩ–1 MΩ) |

Pinout & Package
TPS3808G25DRVT is packaged in a 6-pin SOT-23 (DBV) with 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm body size and standard JEDEC MO-178 footprint. Pin 1 is RESET; pin 2 is GND; pin 3 is MR; pin 4 is CT; pin 5 is SENSE; pin 6 is VDD.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| RESET (Pin 1) | Open-drain output | Drives low during reset assertion; requires external pull-up to define logic-high voltage (up to 6.5 V); sinks ≥1 mA at VOL ≤ 0.4 V |
| GND (Pin 2) | Ground reference | Primary return path for internal circuitry and CT capacitor discharge; must be connected to low-impedance system ground plane |
| MR (Pin 3) | Manual reset input | Active-low asynchronous reset trigger; internally pulled up to VDD via 90-kΩ resistor; logic low defined as ≤0.3×VDD |
| CT (Pin 4) | Delay timing control | Connects to external capacitor (≥100 pF) to set delay; open for 20 ms, tied to VDD via 40–200 kΩ for 300 ms; charged by 220-nA current source |
| SENSE (Pin 5) | Voltage monitoring input | Direct connection point for rail under supervision; comparator trips at 2.33 V with 1% hysteresis; input bias ≤±25 nA |
| VDD (Pin 6) | Power supply input | Accepts 1.7–6.5 V; requires 0.1-μF ceramic decoupling capacitor placed adjacent to pin per analog design best practice |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision 2.33-V threshold | 0.5% accuracy over –40°C to 125°C ensures reliable detection of 2.5-V rail brownout without false resets |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar supervisory circuit applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3808G25DBVR | SOT-23-6 package with identical electrical specs; differs only in tape-and-reel packaging (3000 vs 250 units) and RoHS marking | Same functional behavior and PCB layout; suitable for high-volume automated assembly where reel quantity matches production batch size | Select when sourcing volume production lots requiring 3k reels; no design or qualification impact |
| MAX6326LT25D3+T | Fixed 2.5-V threshold, 20-ms factory-set delay, 1.5-μA quiescent current, but lacks MR input and CT programmability | Applicable only where fixed delay suffices and manual reset is unnecessary; smaller 2-mm × 2-mm WLP package | Choose for ultra-low-power, space-constrained applications without MR or adjustable timing requirements |
Compared with TPS3808G25DRVT, TPS3808G25DBVR offers identical functionality in alternate packaging for scalability, while MAX6326LT25D3+T trades programmability and MR flexibility for lower IQ and smaller footprint-requiring trade-off analysis based on system-level timing and control needs.

FAQ
What is the exact threshold voltage of the TPS3808G25DRVT?
The TPS3808G25DRVT has a nominal threshold voltage (VIT) of 2.33 V, factory-trimmed for monitoring 2.5-V supply rails. Its accuracy is ±0.5% over the full operating temperature range of –40°C to 125°C, verified per TI's SBVS050M datasheet Section 5 and Table 7.5.
How do I configure the reset delay time for the TPS3808G25DRVT?
The TPS3808G25DRVT supports three delay configurations: leave CT pin open for 20 ms, connect CT to VDD via a 40–200-kΩ resistor for 300 ms, or connect CT to GND via a ≥100-pF capacitor for user-defined delays from 1.25 ms to 10 s. Equation 1 in Section 8.3.2 of the datasheet calculates exact values.
Does the TPS3808G25DRVT require an external pull-up resistor on the RESET pin?
Yes-the TPS3808G25DRVT features an open-drain RESET output and requires an external pull-up resistor (10 kΩ to 1 MΩ) to define the logic-high voltage level. This resistor also enables level-shifting, allowing RESET to interface with logic domains up to 6.5 V, as specified in Section 6 and Figure 9-1.
Can the TPS3808G25DRVT monitor voltages other than 2.5 V?
No-the TPS3808G25DRVT is a fixed-threshold variant optimized specifically for 2.5-V rails (VIT = 2.33 V). For adjustable or other fixed thresholds, TI offers variants like TPS3808G01 (adjustable down to 0.405 V) or TPS3808G33 (3.07 V for 3.3-V rails), as listed in Table 5 of the datasheet.
What is the maximum supply voltage the TPS3808G25DRVT can tolerate on VDD?
The TPS3808G25DRVT supports a VDD supply range of 1.7 V to 6.5 V per Section 7.3. Its absolute maximum rating is 7 V, but operation above 6.5 V is not guaranteed and may cause permanent damage. The device maintains 2.4 μA typical IDD across this full operational range.
