Product details
Overview
TPS3824-33DBVRG4 from Texas Instruments is a 3.3V fixed-threshold voltage supervisor IC with integrated watchdog timer, active-low and active-high reset outputs, and manual reset input - designed for reliable power-on reset and system supervision in microcontroller-based applications. It features 2.93V threshold (±2.5%), 200ms reset delay, 1.6s watchdog timeout, 15μA supply current, and operates from −40°C to 85°C in 5-pin SOT-23.
For engineers reviewing the TPS3824-33DBVRG4 datasheet, TPS3824-33DBVRG4 pinout, TPS3824-33DBVRG4 application, or TPS3824-33DBVRG4 equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, exact pin roles, confirmed timing behavior, real-world use cases, and validated alternative options - all aligned to TI's SLVS165O production data sheet (March 2025 revision).
Technical Context
The TPS3824-33DBVRG4 implements dual-reset logic: RESET (active-low push-pull) and RESET (active-high push-pull), enabling direct interface with both legacy and modern processors requiring complementary reset signaling. Its internal voltage divider sets a precise 2.93V negative-going threshold (VIT−) with 50mV hysteresis, ensuring immunity to supply noise during brownout recovery.
Watchdog supervision uses a 1.6s timeout (ttout) triggered by absence of falling edges on WDI; reset assertion persists for 200ms (td) after VDD exceeds VIT− + VHYS. The device requires no external components and supports manual reset via MR with internal 90kΩ pullup - compatible with open-drain or CMOS logic sources.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.1V to 5.5V - powers and monitors VDD rails down to ultra-low-voltage systems while maintaining valid reset assertion. |
| Threshold Voltage (VIT−) | 2.93V (nominal), ±2.5% over −40°C to 85°C - ensures accurate 3.3V rail supervision without calibration or trimming. |
| Reset Delay (td) | 200ms (fixed) - guarantees sufficient hold time for full processor initialization before release from reset. |
| Watchdog Timeout (ttout) | 1.6s (typical) - provides robust fault detection window for firmware hang recovery in embedded control loops. |
| Supply Current (IDD) | 15μA (typical) - enables battery-backed operation for >10 years in always-on supervisory roles. |
| Output Drive | Push-pull RESET (active-low) and RESET (active-high) - eliminates need for external pullups and supports mixed-logic systems. |
| Input Hysteresis (VHYS) | 50mV - prevents chatter during slow-rising or noisy supply transitions near threshold. |
Pinout & Package
TPS3824-33DBVRG4 is housed in a 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package measuring 2.90mm × 1.60mm, optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts and automated assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD (Pin 5) | Power input & monitored supply | Supplies internal circuitry and serves as the voltage source for threshold comparison - must be decoupled with 0.1μF ceramic capacitor. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Reference ground | Common return path for all internal analog and digital blocks; requires low-impedance connection to system ground plane. |
| MR (Pin 3) | Manual reset input | Active-low signal that forces reset regardless of VDD level; internally pulled up to VDD via 90kΩ resistor - leave unconnected or tie to VDD if unused. |
| WDI (Pin 4) | Watchdog timer input | Falling-edge-triggered input; absence of transitions >1.6s asserts reset - floats high internally if left unconnected to prevent spurious timeouts. |
| RESET (Pin 1) | Active-low reset output | Push-pull output asserting low during power-up, brownout, or watchdog timeout - directly drives microcontroller /RESET pins. |
| RESET (Pin 3) | Active-high reset output | Dedicated push-pull output asserting high under same conditions as RESET - enables simultaneous interface with devices requiring active-high reset (e.g., certain FPGAs). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual active reset outputs | Simultaneous RESET (active-low) and RESET (active-high) eliminate level-shifting or external inverters in mixed-logic designs. |
| Fixed 3.3V supervision | Factory-trimmed 2.93V threshold with ±2.5% tolerance over temperature - removes need for external resistive dividers or calibration. |
| Integrated watchdog timer | 1.6s timeout with automatic clearing on WDI falling edge - detects firmware lockups without external timing components. |
| No external components required | Internal voltage reference, hysteresis, pullup resistor, and oscillator enable drop-in replacement into 3.3V systems with zero BOM additions. |
| Low quiescent current | 15μA typical supply current - extends battery life in portable and remote sensor nodes where supervisor remains always enabled. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Controller | Wireless Sensor Node |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3823-33DBVR | Identical 2.93V threshold and 1.6s watchdog, but only active-low RESET output (no RESET). | Suitable when only one reset polarity is needed - reduces pin count and simplifies routing in space-limited layouts. | Select when active-high reset is unnecessary and cost reduction is prioritized; shares same footprint and thermal profile. |
| TPS3825-33DBVR | Same dual-output architecture and 2.93V threshold, but includes manual reset (MR) input - TPS3824-33DBVRG4 lacks MR. | Required where external hardware reset (e.g., front-panel button or safety interlock) must force system reset independently of VDD. | Choose when MR functionality is mandatory; note MR pin replaces WDI function - cannot supervise firmware with watchdog if MR is used. |
Compared with TPS3823-33DBVR, TPS3824-33DBVRG4 adds active-high reset capability for mixed-logic compatibility; compared with TPS3825-33DBVR, it trades MR for dedicated WDI - making it optimal for pure watchdog supervision without external reset intervention.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the TPS3824-33DBVRG4?
The TPS3824-33DBVRG4 has a nominal negative-going input threshold voltage (VIT−) of 2.93V, with guaranteed limits of 2.86V (min) to 3.00V (max) across −40°C to 85°C. This fixed threshold is factory-trimmed and does not require external resistors - it is specifically calibrated for 3.3V rail supervision per TI's SLVS165O datasheet.
Does the TPS3824-33DBVRG4 support both active-high and active-low reset outputs simultaneously?
Yes, the TPS3824-33DBVRG4 provides two independent reset outputs: Pin 1 (RESET) is active-low push-pull, and Pin 3 (RESET) is active-high push-pull. Both assert synchronously during power-on, brownout, or watchdog timeout events - enabling direct interface with processors and peripherals requiring either polarity without external logic.
What is the watchdog timeout period for the TPS3824-33DBVRG4, and how is it triggered?
The TPS3824-33DBVRG4 watchdog timeout (ttout) is 1.6s (typical), with a range of 0.9s to 2.5s. It is triggered by absence of a falling edge on the WDI pin for longer than ttout - the internal timer resets on each detected falling edge. If WDI is left floating, the device generates internal pulses to prevent false timeouts.
Can the TPS3824-33DBVRG4 be used without connecting the WDI pin?
Yes, the TPS3824-33DBVRG4 can operate with WDI unconnected - its internal circuitry drives the pin with periodic pulses to avoid watchdog timeout. However, for applications requiring true watchdog supervision, WDI must be driven by the host processor with regular falling edges; leaving it unconnected disables fault detection.
What package type and dimensions does the TPS3824-33DBVRG4 use?
The TPS3824-33DBVRG4 uses a 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package with nominal body dimensions of 2.90mm × 1.60mm. It is RoHS-compliant, lead-free, and qualified for reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020 - identical to TI's standard DBV footprint used across the TPS382x family.
