Product details
Overview
TPS3809I50DBVRG4 from Texas Instruments is a 3-pin SOT-23 precision supply voltage supervisor IC designed for power-on reset and brownout detection in processor-based systems. It features a fixed 4.55 V threshold voltage, 200 ms reset delay (typ), 9 μA typical supply current, push-pull active-low RESET output, and operates across –40°C to +85°C - used in servers, motor drives, and building automation for reliable system initialization.
For engineers reviewing the TPS3809I50DBVRG4 datasheet, TPS3809I50DBVRG4 pinout, TPS3809I50DBVRG4 application, or TPS3809I50DBVRG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its precise 4.55 V trip point, SOT-23 (DBV) package compatibility with MAX809 footprints, low quiescent current, and absence of external components in reset circuit design.
Technical Context
The TPS3809I50DBVRG4 integrates an internal 1.137 V reference, comparator, timer, and push-pull output stage to generate a clean, glitch-free active-low RESET signal. Its threshold is set by a factory-trimmed internal resistor divider, delivering ±1.1% accuracy over temperature (4.45 V to 4.65 V).
During power-up, RESET asserts when VDD exceeds 1.1 V and remains active until VDD rises above 4.55 V, then holds for 200 ms (typ) before deassertion; on undervoltage, RESET reasserts immediately when VDD falls below the hysteresis-adjusted threshold (4.55 V ± 60 mV).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2 V to 6 V - supports wide input rail tolerance and accommodates post-regulator monitoring. |
| Threshold Voltage (VIT) | 4.55 V (typ), 4.45–4.65 V (min/max) - precisely monitors 5 V supply rails with minimal deviation. |
| Reset Delay Time (td) | 200 ms (typ), 120–280 ms (min/max) - ensures sufficient hold time for full processor/core initialization. |
| Supply Current (IDD) | 9 μA (typ) at 2 V - enables ultra-low-power operation in battery-backed or energy-sensitive systems. |
| Output Type | Push-pull active-low RESET - eliminates need for external pull-up resistor and reduces BOM count. |
| Threshold Hysteresis | 60 mV - prevents oscillation during slow-rising or noisy supply transitions near trip point. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded and infrastructure applications. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 (DBV) package: 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm body, 1.45 mm max height, 3-pin surface-mount outline with GND (Pin 1), RESET (Pin 2), and VDD (Pin 3).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND | Ground reference | Low-impedance return path for internal circuitry; must be connected directly to system ground plane. |
| RESET | Active-low reset output | Push-pull driver capable of sinking 5 mA; asserts low during power-up/brownout and deasserts after 200 ms delay. |
| VDD | Supply input | Monitored voltage rail; requires 0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor to GND for stable threshold performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 4.55 V threshold | Factory-trimmed internal divider ensures ±1.1% accuracy without calibration or external resistors. |
| 200 ms programmable delay | Internal timer guarantees minimum reset pulse width independent of external RC networks. |
| 9 μA typical supply current | Enables use in always-on monitoring circuits without impacting system standby power budget. |
| Push-pull RESET output | Eliminates external pull-up resistor, reduces board space, and improves noise immunity vs open-drain alternatives. |
| Pin-for-pin compatible with MAX809 | Direct drop-in replacement for legacy designs using MAX809J50, simplifying upgrade paths and inventory consolidation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV809E50DBVR | Same 4.55 V threshold, identical SOT-23 pinout, but lower 3.5 μA supply current and improved 0.5% threshold accuracy. | Preferred for ultra-low-power battery-backed systems where <5 μA standby current is critical. | Select TLV809E50DBVR if extended shelf life or energy harvesting compatibility is required; otherwise TPS3809I50DBVRG4 offers proven industrial robustness. |
| MAX809SEUR+T | 4.63 V threshold (±2.5%), 140 ms reset delay, higher 15 μA supply current, same SOT-23 footprint. | Legacy-compatible alternative with looser tolerance; suitable for non-critical 5 V monitoring where cost is primary. | Choose MAX809SEUR+T only for cost-sensitive replacements where 80 mV higher trip point and reduced accuracy are acceptable. |
Compared with TLV809E50DBVR and MAX809SEUR+T, the TPS3809I50DBVRG4 delivers tighter threshold accuracy than MAX809 while offering broader industrial temperature qualification than TLV809E - making it optimal for infrastructure applications demanding both precision and reliability.
