Product details
Overview
TPS3808G50QDBVRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 qualified automotive-grade programmable-delay supervisory circuit that monitors 5-V system rails, asserts an open-drain RESET signal upon undervoltage detection (VIT = 4.65 V), supports manual reset via MR pin, and delivers 2.4 μA typical quiescent current for battery-sensitive applications such as automotive radar and ADAS domain controllers.
For engineers reviewing the TPS3808G50QDBVRQ1 datasheet, TPS3808G50QDBVRQ1 pinout, TPS3808G50QDBVRQ1 application, or TPS3808G50QDBVRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its ±0.5% threshold accuracy at 4.65 V, user-adjustable reset delay from 1.25 ms to 10 s via CT pin capacitor, –40°C to +125°C operating range, SOT-23-6 package, and immunity to short SENSE pin transients.
Technical Context
The TPS3808G50QDBVRQ1 implements a precision voltage comparator with built-in hysteresis (1–2.5% of VIT) and a 220-nA on-chip current source for CT-pin-based timing. It uses a factory-trimmed reference to achieve 0.5% typical threshold accuracy for VIT ≤ 3.3 V and ±1% for 3.3 V < VIT ≤ 5 V - confirmed for TPS3808G50QDBVRQ1's 4.65-V threshold.
Its functional architecture includes independent SENSE and MR inputs driving a shared open-drain RESET output with configurable assertion duration. The device remains fully operational across 1.8–6.5 V supply range and exhibits <25 nA SENSE input leakage, enabling direct monitoring of low-current rails without loading error.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold (VIT) | 4.65 V - factory-set fixed threshold for 5-V rail monitoring; ±1% accuracy over –40°C to +125°C ensures reliable brownout detection in automotive environments. |
| Quiescent Current (IDD) | 2.4 μA typical - enables multi-year operation in always-on vehicle subsystems without compromising battery life. |
| Reset Delay Range | 1.25 ms to 10 s - configured via external capacitor on CT pin; supports precise power sequencing in complex SoC/FPGA systems. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - fully specified junction temperature range meets AEC-Q100 Grade 1 requirements for under-hood automotive use. |
| Output Type | Open-drain RESET - allows level-shifting and wired-OR configuration with other reset sources; requires external pullup (10 kΩ–1 MΩ). |
| SENSE Input Leakage | ≤1.7 μA at VSENSE = 6.5 V - minimal loading on monitored rail; supports high-impedance sensing without voltage droop. |
| MR Pullup Resistance | 90 kΩ internal - permits direct connection to logic outputs without external components; eliminates need for discrete pullup when MR unused. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-6 package (2.90 mm × 1.60 mm body size) with exposed pad not present; RoHS-compliant, lead-free finish; thermal resistance RθJA = 180.9°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: RESET | Open-drain output | Asserts low during undervoltage or manual reset; requires external pullup; sinks ≥1 mA at VDD ≥1.8 V. |
| 2: GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for internal circuitry and RESET load current; must connect to low-impedance system ground plane. |
| 3: MR | Manual reset input | Logic-low active (≤0.3×VDD) resets system; internally pulled up to VDD at 90 kΩ; tolerant of partial-voltage logic drivers. |
| 4: CT | Reset delay programming | Connect to GND via capacitor (≥100 pF) for 1.25 ms–10 s delay; open for 20 ms fixed delay; tie to VDD via 40–200 kΩ for 300 ms fixed delay. |
| 5: SENSE | Voltage monitoring input | Direct connection point for 5-V rail; comparator triggers RESET when voltage falls below 4.65 V; ≤25 nA input bias minimizes loading. |
| 6: VDD | Supply input | Accepts 1.8–6.5 V; powers internal reference and logic; requires 0.1-μF ceramic decoupling capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for automotive use from –40°C to +125°C TJ; includes HBM ±2000 V and CDM ±500 V ESD robustness. |
| Programmable reset delay | Three configuration modes: capacitor-timed (1.25 ms–10 s), resistor-timed (300 ms), or open-circuit (20 ms) - no external timer IC needed. |
| High threshold accuracy | ±1% over full temperature range for 4.65-V threshold - reduces design margin requirements and eliminates calibration in production. |
| Low-power supervision | 2.4 μA typical IDD enables integration into always-on domains (e.g., vehicle wake-up circuits) without measurable battery drain. |
| Transient-immune SENSE input | Rejects short negative spikes ≤20 μs duration below VIT - prevents false resets from switching noise or load dump transients. |
Applications
| Automotive Radar Module | FPGA Power Sequencing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar supervisory circuit applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3808G33QDBVRQ1 | Fixed 3.07-V threshold; identical package, pinout, and delay programming; same 2.4-μA IDD and –40°C to +125°C rating. | Designed for 3.3-V rail monitoring instead of 5-V; unsuitable for direct replacement without redesigning SENSE connection. | Select only when supervising 3.3-V supplies; retains all timing, MR, and thermal characteristics of TPS3808G50QDBVRQ1. |
| MAX6375US29D3+T | Fixed 2.93-V threshold; 3.5-μA IDD; SOT-23-6; ±1.5% VIT accuracy; no CT-programmable delay (fixed 200 ms). | Lacks adjustable delay and automotive qualification; rated only to +85°C ambient; higher quiescent current impacts battery runtime. | Consider for industrial non-automotive 3-V systems where AEC-Q100 and ultra-low IDD are not required. |
Compared with TPS3808G33QDBVRQ1, the TPS3808G50QDBVRQ1 provides higher threshold accuracy for 5-V rails and matches pin compatibility but differs in VIT; compared with MAX6375US29D3+T, it offers automotive qualification, lower IDD, wider temperature range, and flexible delay tuning - making it superior for safety-critical vehicle electronics.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for TPS3808G50QDBVRQ1?
The TPS3808G50QDBVRQ1 has a factory-set nominal reset threshold (VIT) of 4.65 V, with ±1% accuracy over the full –40°C to +125°C junction temperature range. This value is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table of the SBVS085J datasheet and applies exclusively to the TPS3808G50QDBVRQ1 variant - not to other members of the TPS3808Gxx-Q1 family.
Can TPS3808G50QDBVRQ1 be used to monitor voltages other than 5 V?
No - the TPS3808G50QDBVRQ1 is a fixed-threshold device calibrated specifically for 5-V rail supervision (VIT = 4.65 V). To monitor other rails, select the appropriate variant: TPS3808G33QDBVRQ1 for 3.3 V (3.07 V threshold) or TPS3808G12QDBVRQ1 for 1.2 V (1.12 V threshold). The TPS3808G01QDBVRQ1 supports adjustable thresholds down to 0.405 V using external resistors.
How is the reset delay time configured on TPS3808G50QDBVRQ1?
The reset delay on TPS3808G50QDBVRQ1 is set via the CT pin: leave CT open for 20 ms fixed delay, connect CT to VDD through a 40–200 kΩ resistor for 300 ms fixed delay, or connect CT to GND via a capacitor ≥100 pF for user-programmable delay from 1.25 ms to 10 s. Equation 1 in the datasheet (Delay = CT + 0.5×10⁻³) calculates exact values.
Does TPS3808G50QDBVRQ1 require an external pullup resistor on the RESET pin?
Yes - the TPS3808G50QDBVRQ1 features an open-drain RESET output and requires an external pullup resistor between RESET and VDD (or another logic-high rail). TI specifies a range of 10 kΩ to 1 MΩ; 50 kΩ is commonly used. Without this resistor, RESET cannot attain a valid high state, causing system boot failure.
Is TPS3808G50QDBVRQ1 pin-compatible with other TPS3808Gxx-Q1 variants?
Yes - all TPS3808Gxx-Q1 devices in the SOT-23-6 package (including TPS3808G50QDBVRQ1, TPS3808G33QDBVRQ1, and TPS3808G12QDBVRQ1) share identical pinout, package dimensions, and electrical interface. This allows drop-in replacement across voltage thresholds when board layout accommodates the specific VIT requirement.
