Product details
Overview
TPS3824-33DBVT from Texas Instruments is a 3.3V fixed-threshold voltage supervisor IC with active-high and active-low reset outputs, integrated watchdog timer (1.6s timeout), 200ms reset delay, and 15μA typical supply current in a 5-pin SOT-23 package. It monitors microcontroller supply rails and ensures reliable power-on initialization and fault recovery in embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the TPS3824-33DBVT datasheet, TPS3824-33DBVT pinout, TPS3824-33DBVT application, or TPS3824-33DBVT equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-reset output logic, watchdog timer behavior under WDI transition constraints, 2.93V threshold accuracy over −40°C to 85°C, and compatibility with 3.3V DSP/microcontroller reset interfaces requiring both push-pull assertion and system-level supervision.
Technical Context
The TPS3824-33DBVT implements a fixed internal voltage divider to set VIT− = 2.93V (nominal) with 50mV hysteresis, enabling precise 3.3V rail monitoring without external components. Its dual-output architecture provides simultaneous active-low (RESET) and active-high (RESET) signals for flexible interface design with bidirectional reset pins or level-sensitive controllers.
Watchdog functionality relies on edge-triggered WDI input detection: a falling edge clears the 1.6s timeout counter, while sustained high/low states beyond timeout assert RESET for 200ms. The device operates from 1.1V to 5.5V and uses internal pull-up on MR (90kΩ) to support manual reset initiation without external biasing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply threshold | 2.93V nominal (VIT−), ±70mV over −40°C to 85°C - ensures accurate 3.3V rail supervision with margin against brownout |
| Reset delay time | 200ms - guarantees sufficient hold time for processor core and peripheral initialization after power stabilization |
| Watchdog timeout | 1.6s - provides robust firmware hang detection interval compatible with typical MCU instruction cycles |
| Supply current | 15μA typical - enables integration into battery-powered systems without significant quiescent load impact |
| Output drive | Push-pull RESET and RESET - eliminates need for external pull-up resistors and supports direct connection to CMOS inputs |
| Operating temperature | −40°C to 85°C - qualified for industrial and commercial embedded applications with thermal cycling requirements |
| Input hysteresis | 50mV - prevents oscillatory reset assertion during slow-rising or noisy supply transitions |
Pinout & Package
TPS3824-33DBVT uses a 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package measuring 2.90mm × 1.60mm, optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts in portable and industrial electronics.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD (Pin 5) | Power supply input and monitored rail | Supplies device operation and serves as the voltage source for threshold comparison; functional from 1.1V to 5.5V |
| GND (Pin 2) | Ground reference | Common return path for all internal circuitry and output drivers; must be low-impedance for stable reset timing |
| RESET (Pin 1) | Active-low reset output | Push-pull driver asserts logic low during power-up, brownout, or watchdog timeout; sinks up to 3mA |
| RESET (Pin 3) | Active-high reset output | Complementary push-pull signal to Pin 1; drives high during normal operation and low during fault conditions |
| WDI (Pin 4) | Watchdog timer input | Edge-sensitive input requiring falling edge every ≤1.6s to prevent reset; internally generates pulses if left floating |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual active reset outputs | Simultaneous RESET (active-low) and RESET (active-high) eliminate need for external inverters in mixed-logic systems |
| Fixed 3.3V threshold | 2.93V nominal VIT− with 50mV hysteresis enables drop-in replacement for 3.3V systems without calibration or resistor networks |
| Integrated watchdog timer | 1.6s timeout with edge-triggered WDI input provides autonomous firmware health monitoring without external timing components |
| Low-power operation | 15μA typical IDD allows continuous supervision in always-on subsystems without compromising battery life |
| Manual reset support | MR pin omitted in TPS3824 variant - simplifies layout by removing unused control line while retaining full supervision capability |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervision applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3823-33DBVT | Single active-low RESET output; identical 2.93V threshold, 200ms delay, and 1.6s watchdog | Lacks active-high RESET output - requires external inverter for systems needing complementary reset signaling | Select when only one reset polarity is required and board space is constrained |
| TPS3825-33DBVT | Includes manual reset (MR) pin; otherwise matches TPS3824-33DBVT electrical specs and dual outputs | Supports external hardware reset initiation via MR input - adds flexibility for front-panel or diagnostic reset buttons | Choose when system-level manual reset capability is required alongside watchdog supervision |
Compared with TPS3824-33DBVT, TPS3823-33DBVT reduces pin count and cost but sacrifices reset polarity flexibility, while TPS3825-33DBVT adds MR functionality at the expense of slightly higher complexity in unused-pin management.

FAQ
What is the exact supply voltage threshold for TPS3824-33DBVT?
The TPS3824-33DBVT has a nominal negative-going input threshold voltage (VIT−) of 2.93V, with a guaranteed range of 2.86V to 3.00V across −40°C to 85°C. This fixed threshold is set by an internal voltage divider and requires no external components, making TPS3824-33DBVT suitable for precise 3.3V rail monitoring in industrial and portable applications.
Does TPS3824-33DBVT support both active-high and active-low reset outputs simultaneously?
Yes, TPS3824-33DBVT provides both RESET (active-low) and RESET (active-high) outputs in push-pull configuration. This dual-output capability allows direct interfacing with processors having bidirectional reset pins or systems requiring complementary logic levels without external inverters, distinguishing TPS3824-33DBVT from single-output variants like TPS3823-33DBVT.
What is the watchdog timeout period for TPS3824-33DBVT and how is it triggered?
The TPS3824-33DBVT features a 1.6s watchdog timeout period. It is triggered when the WDI input remains static (high or low) beyond this interval; a falling edge on WDI resets the timer. If WDI is left floating, TPS3824-33DBVT internally generates pulses to prevent spurious reset, ensuring robust operation even in unconnected configurations.
Can TPS3824-33DBVT operate from a 1.8V supply?
No, TPS3824-33DBVT requires VDD ≥ 1.1V to assert power-on reset but is specified for reliable operation only when VDD ≥ 2.5V for accurate 3.3V threshold monitoring. While the device powers on at 1.1V, its VIT− comparator and output drivers are characterized for 2.5V–5.5V operation; using below 2.5V may result in undefined reset behavior and is outside the recommended operating conditions for TPS3824-33DBVT.
Is there a manual reset (MR) input on TPS3824-33DBVT?
No, TPS3824-33DBVT does not include a manual reset (MR) input. Unlike TPS3825-33DBVT or TPS3823-33DBVT, the TPS3824 variant omits the MR pin to simplify layout and reduce pin count while retaining full voltage supervision and watchdog functionality. System-level manual reset must be implemented externally if required for the application using TPS3824-33DBVT.
