Product details
Overview
TPS3808G30DRVT from Texas Instruments is a low-quiescent-current, programmable-delay supervisory circuit designed to monitor 3.0-V system rails and assert an open-drain RESET signal when the SENSE voltage drops below 2.79 V or MR is pulled low. It delivers 0.5% threshold accuracy, 2.4 μA typical supply current, and user-adjustable reset delay from 1.25 ms to 10 s-enabling reliable power-on reset in battery-powered microcontroller systems.
For engineers reviewing the TPS3808G30DRVT datasheet, TPS3808G30DRVT pinout, TPS3808G30DRVT application, or TPS3808G30DRVT equivalent, key selection considerations include its fixed 2.79-V threshold for 3.0-V rails, SOT-23-6/WSON-6 package options, –40°C to 125°C operation, manual reset input, and compatibility with FPGA, DSP, and portable embedded platforms requiring ultra-low-power supervision.
Technical Context
The TPS3808G30DRVT implements a precision voltage comparator with built-in hysteresis (1%–2.5% 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 rail voltage directly, while MR provides asynchronous reset initiation via internal 90-kΩ pull-up.
RESET assertion is triggered by either SENSE falling below 2.79 V or MR dropping below 0.3×VDD; deassertion requires both inputs to exceed their thresholds *and* the full delay period to elapse. The open-drain output supports pull-up to voltages up to 6.5 V, enabling interface with higher-voltage logic domains.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Threshold Voltage (VIT) | 2.79 V - precisely matches 3.0-V nominal rail; enables accurate brownout detection without external divider |
| Quiescent Current (IDD) | 2.4 μA typical - minimizes standby power draw in always-on battery applications |
| Threshold Accuracy | ±0.5% typical for VIT ≤ 3.3 V - ensures consistent reset behavior across temperature and unit variation |
| Reset Delay Range | 1.25 ms to 10 s - programmable via CT pin capacitor; supports fast boot or long hold-off for complex processors |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to 125°C - qualified for automotive under-hood and industrial embedded environments |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.7 V to 6.5 V - powers from single Li-ion cell or wide-input DC/DC outputs |

Pinout & Package
TPS3808G30DRVT is available in the DRV (WSON-6) package: 2.00 mm × 2.00 mm body with exposed thermal pad, lead-free and RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| RESET | Open-drain output | Asserts low during reset; requires external pull-up (10 kΩ–1 MΩ); supports voltage translation up to 6.5 V |
| GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for internal circuitry and thermal pad connection point |

| SENSE | Voltage monitoring input | Direct connection to 3.0-V rail; detects drop below 2.79 V with hysteresis to prevent chatter |
| VDD | Power supply input | Accepts 1.7–6.5 V; requires local 0.1-μF ceramic decoupling capacitor |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Applications
| Microcontroller Power-On Reset | FPGA Configuration Supervision |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Ensures clean startup of ARM Cortex-M or RISC-V MCUs after power ramp-up or brownout recovery. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monitors 3.0-V core or I/O supply; asserts RESET until voltage stabilizes above 2.79 V and holds for 20–300 ms delay. Use Value: Prevents MCU lockup or corrupted register initialization by guaranteeing minimum reset pulse width and precise voltage threshold. | Use Scenario: Validates configuration voltage integrity before FPGA bitstream loading begins. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervises 3.0-V bank supply; delays release of FPGA PROG_B or INIT_B signal until rail is stable and delay expires. Use Value: Avoids configuration failure due to premature release of programming signals during power transients. |
| Battery-Powered Sensor Node | Industrial PLC I/O Module |
Use Scenario: Maintains reliable reset during Li-ion discharge from 4.2 V down to 2.8 V, where 3.0-V rail may dip near threshold. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: SENSE connected to regulated 3.0-V output; MR tied to watchdog timer output for fail-safe recovery. Use Value: 2.4 μA IDD extends battery life; ±0.5% VIT accuracy prevents false resets during gradual voltage decay. | Use Scenario: Protects digital I/O drivers from operating outside safe voltage margins in harsh factory environments. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monitors isolated 3.0-V auxiliary supply feeding communication interfaces (RS-485, CAN transceivers). Use Value: –40°C to 125°C rating ensures operation in uncontrolled enclosures; open-drain RESET interfaces directly with optocoupler inputs. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar supervisory circuit applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3808G33DRVT | 3.07-V threshold for 3.3-V rails; otherwise identical architecture, pinout, and delay programming | Designed for 3.3-V systems-not suitable for 3.0-V rails without risk of premature reset | Select only if supervising 3.3-V supplies; not a drop-in replacement for TPS3808G30DRVT |
| MAX6326UT30D3+ | Fixed 3.0-V threshold, 20-ms delay only, 3.5-μA IDD, SOT-23-5 package (no MR pin) | Lacks manual reset and programmable delay; limited flexibility in timing-critical designs | Use where minimal footprint and fixed delay suffice; MR and CT flexibility absent |
Compared with TPS3808G30DRVT, TPS3808G33DRVT targets different rail voltages and requires board-level validation for threshold match, while MAX6326UT30D3+ sacrifices programmability and MR functionality for smaller size and lower cost in static-reset applications.

FAQ
What is the exact threshold voltage of the TPS3808G30DRVT, and how is it calibrated?
The TPS3808G30DRVT has a nominal threshold voltage (VIT) of 2.79 V, factory-trimmed for 3.0-V nominal rails. This value is achieved using a precision internal reference and achieves ±0.5% typical accuracy over –40°C to 125°C, as specified in TI's SBVS050M datasheet Section 5 and 7.5. No external calibration is required.
Can the TPS3808G30DRVT be used to supervise a 2.8-V rail?
No-the TPS3808G30DRVT is optimized for 3.0-V rails with a fixed 2.79-V threshold. Supervising a 2.8-V rail risks unreliable operation, as the margin between rail and threshold is only 0.01 V. For 2.8-V systems, consider the adjustable TPS3808G01 or a custom resistor-divider solution with TPS3808G01DBVR.
How does the CT pin configure reset delay on the TPS3808G30DRVT?
The CT pin on the TPS3808G30DRVT sets reset delay via three configurations: open circuit yields 20 ms, connection to VDD through 40–200 kΩ yields 300 ms, and connection to a ground-referenced capacitor ≥100 pF enables user-programmable delay from 1.25 ms to 10 s. The internal 220-nA current source charges the capacitor to 1.23 V to terminate delay.
Is the TPS3808G30DRVT pin-compatible with other TPS3808 variants?
Yes-TPS3808G30DRVT shares identical pinout (DRV/WSON-6 and DBV/SOT-23-6), electrical characteristics, and functional behavior with all TPS3808x family members. Only the threshold voltage differs; swapping variants requires verification that the new VIT matches the target rail.
Does the TPS3808G30DRVT support operation below 1.7 V supply voltage?
No-the absolute minimum recommended VDD is 1.7 V per Section 7.3 of the datasheet. Below this, the device may not assert RESET reliably, and Section 8.4.3 states RESET behavior is undefined when VDD falls below the power-on reset voltage (VPOR ≈ 0.8 V). Operation must remain within 1.7–6.5 V.
