Product details
Overview
TPS3809L30DBVT from Texas Instruments is a 3-pin SOT-23 supply voltage supervisor IC designed for precise power-on reset and brownout detection in processor-based systems. It features a fixed 2.64 V threshold voltage, 9 μA typical supply current, 200 ms reset delay time, push-pull active-low RESET output, and operates across –40°C to +85°C - used in motor drives and factory automation for reliable system initialization.
For engineers reviewing the TPS3809L30DBVT datasheet, TPS3809L30DBVT pinout, TPS3809L30DBVT application, or TPS3809L30DBVT equivalent, key selection criteria include threshold accuracy (±2.5% over temperature), low quiescent current, no external components required, SOT-23 footprint compatibility, and direct functional replacement for MAX809L variants in embedded reset circuits.
Technical Context
The TPS3809L30DBVT integrates an internal 1.137 V reference, precision resistor divider, comparator, timer, and push-pull output stage to monitor VDD and assert RESET until VDD exceeds 2.64 V and remains stable for 200 ms. Its architecture eliminates need for external timing capacitors or pull-up resistors.
During undervoltage events, RESET reasserts immediately when VDD falls below the hysteresis-enhanced threshold (VIT– = 2.58 V, Vhys = 35 mV). The device uses a single-supply design with GND, VDD, and RESET pins - no enable or watchdog inputs - making it suitable for simple, cost-sensitive reset supervision.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Threshold Voltage (VIT) | 2.64 V (fixed, ±2.5% over –40°C to +85°C; enables reliable 3.0 V rail monitoring) |
| Reset Delay Time (td) | 200 ms typical (ensures complete processor initialization before release) |
| Supply Current (IDD) | 9 μA typical at 2 V (minimizes standby power in battery-backed or energy-sensitive systems) |
| Output Type | Push-pull active-low RESET (drives directly without external pull-up; sinks 500 μA @ 0.3 V) |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C (qualified for industrial environments including motor drives and building automation) |
| Package | SOT-23 (DBV), 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm body (3-pin, surface-mount compatible with standard reflow profiles) |
| Absolute Max VDD | 6.5 V (allows safe operation with 5 V or 3.3 V rails plus margin) |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 (DBV) package: 3-pin, 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm body, 1.45 mm max height, RoHS-compliant NIPDAU lead finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pin 1) | Ground reference | Low-impedance connection required; serves as return path for RESET sink current and internal bias |
| RESET (Pin 2) | Active-low reset output | Push-pull driver; asserts low during power-up/brownout; deasserts after 200 ms delay once VDD > 2.64 V |
| VDD (Pin 3) | Supply input | Monitored rail input; requires 0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor to GND for threshold stability |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed threshold accuracy | 2.64 V ±2.5% over full temperature range - ensures consistent reset behavior without calibration |
| No external components | Integrated timing and reference eliminate need for RC networks or pull-ups - reduces BOM count and board area |
| Low-power operation | 9 μA typical supply current - extends battery life in always-on industrial sensors and metering applications |
| Robust output drive | Push-pull RESET capable of sinking 500 μA at 0.3 V - directly interfaces with microcontroller reset inputs without level-shifting |
| Thermal hysteresis | 35 mV threshold hysteresis - prevents oscillation during slow-rising or noisy supply conditions |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV809E30DBVR | Same 2.64 V threshold, identical SOT-23 pinout, but 1.8 V to 6 V operating range vs. TPS3809L30DBVT's 2 V to 6 V; 5 μA typical IDD. | Lower supply current and wider VDD range support newer ultra-low-power MCUs; same timing and output drive. | Select TLV809E30DBVR for next-gen designs prioritizing sub-6 μA standby or 1.8 V logic compatibility. |
| MAX809LTRD3+T | Pin-compatible 2.63 V supervisor (±2.5%), but higher 15 μA IDD, no hysteresis spec, and only rated to +70°C industrial grade. | Limited thermal margin for extended industrial use; lacks documented hysteresis, increasing noise susceptibility. | Choose MAX809LTRD3+T only for legacy drop-in replacement where +70°C max ambient suffices and hysteresis is not critical. |
Compared with TLV809E30DBVR and MAX809LTRD3+T, the TPS3809L30DBVT delivers superior thermal robustness (–40°C to +85°C), verified 35 mV hysteresis for noise immunity, and TI's long-term industrial product continuity - making it optimal for new designs targeting reliability-critical infrastructure equipment.

FAQ
What is the exact threshold voltage of the TPS3809L30DBVT?
The TPS3809L30DBVT has a nominal threshold voltage of 2.64 V, with guaranteed minimum and maximum values of 2.58 V and 2.70 V respectively over the full –40°C to +85°C operating temperature range. This value is fixed internally and does not require external configuration.
Does the TPS3809L30DBVT require an external pull-up resistor on the RESET pin?
No, the TPS3809L30DBVT features a push-pull RESET output that actively drives both high and low states. Unlike open-drain supervisors, it does not require an external pull-up resistor - simplifying layout and reducing component count.
What is the reset delay time specification for the TPS3809L30DBVT?
The TPS3809L30DBVT provides a typical reset delay time (td) of 200 ms, with a guaranteed range of 120 ms to 280 ms over temperature and voltage. This delay begins after VDD rises above the 2.64 V threshold and ensures sufficient time for power rail stabilization before releasing the processor reset.
Can the TPS3809L30DBVT be used with a 2.5 V supply rail?
No - the TPS3809L30DBVT is not specified for reliable operation below 2 V per its Recommended Operating Conditions. Its 2.64 V threshold makes it intended for 3.0 V systems; for 2.5 V rails, consider the TPS3809J25DBVT (2.25 V threshold) instead.
Is the TPS3809L30DBVT pin-compatible with MAX809 series devices?
Yes, the TPS3809L30DBVT is explicitly pin-for-pin compatible with the MAX809L series (e.g., MAX809LTRD3+T), sharing identical SOT-23 pinout (GND, RESET, VDD), function, and electrical interface - enabling direct substitution in existing layouts without PCB changes.
