Product details
Overview
TPS3809I50DBVT 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 (VIT–), 200 ms reset delay (td), 9 μA typical supply current, push-pull active-low RESET output, and operates across –40°C to +85°C. It is used in industrial servers and building automation systems requiring reliable, low-power supply monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the TPS3809I50DBVT datasheet, TPS3809I50DBVT pinout, TPS3809I50DBVT application, or TPS3809I50DBVT equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4.55 V trip point, 200 ms delay timing, SOT-23 (DBV) package compatibility, and direct functional alignment with MAX809-class supervisory circuits in embedded power sequencing designs.
Technical Context
The TPS3809I50DBVT integrates an internal 1.137 V reference, comparator, timer, and push-pull output stage to generate a precise, temperature-stable reset signal. Its threshold is set by an 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, after which a 120–280 ms delay ensures clean system initialization. On undervoltage, RESET reasserts immediately upon VDD falling below the threshold, with 60 mV hysteresis preventing chatter.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2 V to 6 V - supports wide-input systems including 3.3 V and 5 V rails without external regulation |
| Threshold Voltage (VIT–) | 4.55 V (typical), 4.45–4.65 V (min/max) - precisely targets 5 V supply monitoring with ±1.1% tolerance |
| Reset Delay Time (td) | 200 ms (typical), 120–280 ms (min/max) - ensures sufficient hold time for DSP/processor boot sequence completion |
| Supply Current (IDD) | 9 μA (typical) at 2 V - enables ultra-low-power operation in battery-backed or energy-sensitive applications |
| Output Type | Push-pull, active-low RESET - eliminates need for external pull-up resistor and supports direct MCU reset input |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial environments including factory automation and building control systems |
| Threshold Hysteresis | 60 mV - prevents oscillation during slow-rising or noisy supply transitions near trip point |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 (DBV) package, 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm body size, 1.45 mm max height, 3-pin surface-mount configuration with GND on Pin 1, RESET on Pin 2, and VDD on Pin 3.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND | Ground reference | Low-impedance connection required; serves as return path for internal comparator and output stage |
| RESET | Active-low reset output | Push-pull driver capable of sinking 5 mA; asserts low during power-up and undervoltage events |
| VDD | Supply input | Monitored rail input; requires 0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor to ground for stable threshold performance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 4.55 V threshold | Enables accurate 5 V supply supervision without external resistors or trimming components |
| 200 ms programmable delay | Guarantees full processor core and memory initialization before release of reset signal |
| 9 μA typical quiescent current | Minimizes standby power draw in always-on industrial controllers and metering devices |
| Push-pull RESET output | Eliminates external pull-up requirement and reduces BOM count in space-constrained PCB layouts |
| –40°C to +85°C operation | Validated for deployment in uncontrolled ambient environments such as factory floors and outdoor building nodes |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar supply voltage supervision applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV809E50DBVR | Same 4.55 V threshold, identical SOT-23 pinout, 200 ms delay, but lower 3.5 μA supply current and improved –40°C to +125°C rating | Preferred for extended-temperature industrial designs where thermal margin exceeds +85°C | Select TLV809E50DBVR when operating above 85°C or when ultra-low quiescent current is critical |
| MAX809SEUR+T | 4.63 V threshold (±2.5%), 140 ms min delay, 12 μA supply current, same SOT-23-3 package and pinout | Used in legacy designs requiring drop-in replacement with relaxed accuracy and timing specs | Choose MAX809SEUR+T only for cost-sensitive, non-critical applications where 4.63 V trip and 140 ms delay are acceptable |
Compared with TPS3809I50DBVT, TLV809E50DBVR offers superior temperature range and lower current but shares identical functionality and footprint, while MAX809SEUR+T trades accuracy and delay consistency for broader legacy compatibility at higher power cost.

FAQ
What is the exact threshold voltage of the TPS3809I50DBVT?
The TPS3809I50DBVT has a nominal negative-going input threshold voltage (VIT–) of 4.55 V, with a guaranteed range of 4.45 V to 4.65 V over the full –40°C to +85°C operating temperature range. This value is factory-trimmed and fixed internally-no external components are needed to set or adjust it.
Does the TPS3809I50DBVT require an external pull-up resistor on the RESET pin?
No, the TPS3809I50DBVT features a push-pull RESET output stage, so no external pull-up resistor is required. The output actively drives high or low depending on supply voltage status, simplifying layout and reducing BOM count compared to open-drain alternatives.
What is the reset delay time specification for the TPS3809I50DBVT?
The TPS3809I50DBVT provides a guaranteed reset delay time (td) of 120 ms minimum to 280 ms maximum, with a typical value of 200 ms. This delay begins after VDD rises above the 4.55 V threshold and ensures reliable processor initialization before reset release.
Is the TPS3809I50DBVT pin-compatible with the MAX809 series?
Yes, the TPS3809I50DBVT is explicitly pin-for-pin compatible with the MAX809 family (e.g., MAX809SEUR+T), sharing identical SOT-23 (DBV) package dimensions, pin numbering (GND–RESET–VDD), and functional behavior-enabling direct substitution in existing designs with improved accuracy and lower current.
What is the recommended bypass capacitor for the TPS3809I50DBVT VDD pin?
A 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor placed between the VDD and GND pins is recommended per the datasheet to stabilize the internal reference and ensure consistent threshold performance, especially under fast transient or noisy supply conditions.
