Product details
Overview
TPS3824-50QDBVRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an automotive-grade voltage supervisor IC with active-high reset output, 4.55 V fixed threshold, 200 ms power-on reset delay, watchdog timer input (WDI), and 15 µA typical supply current. It monitors 5 V supply rails in DSP/microcontroller systems to ensure reliable power-up sequencing and fault recovery in engine control units and ADAS modules.
For engineers reviewing the TPS3824-50QDBVRQ1 datasheet, TPS3824-50QDBVRQ1 pinout, TPS3824-50QDBVRQ1 application, or TPS3824-50QDBVRQ1 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification details, SOT-23-5 package mapping, and functional alternatives for automotive reset supervision design.
Technical Context
The TPS3824-50QDBVRQ1 implements a precision bandgap-based voltage reference with internal resistor divider to set VIT− = 4.55 V (±2.2% over −40°C to 125°C). Its watchdog timer requires periodic falling-edge transitions on WDI within 1.6 s to prevent reset assertion, and its internal 200 ms delay timer begins only after VDD exceeds VIT− + VHYS (50 mV hysteresis).
It features dual reset outputs: active-low RESET (push-pull) and active-high RESET (push-pull), enabling direct interface with microcontrollers requiring either polarity. No external components are needed for basic supervision, and MR is omitted-confirming absence of manual reset functionality per device-specific pinout.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIT− Threshold | 4.55 V nominal (4.44–4.64 V range); ensures reliable 5 V rail monitoring with margin against ripple and dropout. |
| Reset Delay Time (td) | 200 ms fixed; guarantees sufficient hold time for processor initialization before release of active-high RESET signal. |
| Watchdog Timeout (ttout) | 1.6 s (0.9–2.5 s range); provides robust system-level fault detection window for firmware hang recovery. |
| Supply Current (IDD) | 15 µA typical; enables low-power operation in always-on automotive domains without battery drain concerns. |
| Output Drive Strength | IOH = –120 µA at VDD ≥ VIT− + 0.2 V; supports direct connection to MCU reset inputs without external pull-up. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to 125°C; qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 for under-hood and safety-critical vehicle subsystems. |
| ESD Rating | HBM ±2000 V, CDM ±750 V; meets automotive manufacturing ESD robustness requirements. |
Pinout & Package
TPS3824-50QDBVRQ1 uses a 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package with 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm body size, optimized for space-constrained automotive PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: RESET | Active-high push-pull output | Asserts high during valid VDD; releases after 200 ms delay when VDD > VIT−; drives MCU reset input directly. |
| 2: GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for internal circuitry and output stage; must be connected to low-impedance system ground plane. |
| 3: WDI | Watchdog timer input | Falling-edge triggered; resets watchdog timer; floating state generates internal pulses to prevent spurious reset. |
| 4: RESET | Active-low push-pull output | Complementary to Pin 1; asserts low during reset condition; supports legacy MCU designs requiring active-low reset. |
| 5: VDD | Power supply & monitored rail | Supplies device and serves as monitored input; operates from 1.1 V to 5.5 V; requires 0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for −40°C to 125°C operation with HBM ±2000 V and CDM ±750 V ESD ratings-enables use in engine control, transmission, and ADAS ECUs. |
| Dual-polarity reset outputs | Simultaneous active-high (Pin 1) and active-low (Pin 4) push-pull outputs eliminate need for external inverters or level shifters in mixed-signal systems. |
| Fixed 4.55 V threshold with 50 mV hysteresis | Accurately supervises 5 V rails while rejecting noise-induced false triggers; no external resistors or calibration required. |
| 1.6 s watchdog timeout | Provides deterministic firmware hang detection window compatible with real-time OS task scheduling intervals in automotive software stacks. |
| 200 ms power-on reset delay | Ensures stable clock and memory initialization in microcontrollers before releasing reset-matches typical ARM Cortex-M boot timing. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervision applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3823-50QDBVRQ1 | Identical 4.55 V threshold and 200 ms delay, but active-low-only RESET output (no active-high pin). | Lacks dual-polarity reset; requires external inverter or MCU configuration change to support active-high reset logic. | Select when only active-low reset is needed and board layout cannot accommodate dual-output routing. |
| TPS3825-50QDBVRQ1 | Includes manual reset (MR) pin and dual reset outputs like TPS3824-50QDBVRQ1, but adds MR functionality. | Supports hardware-triggered reset via external switch or logic signal-useful for service mode or diagnostics. | Choose when field-serviceable reset capability is required, accepting slightly higher quiescent current (25 µA vs 15 µA). |
Compared with TPS3823-50QDBVRQ1 and TPS3825-50QDBVRQ1, the TPS3824-50QDBVRQ1 uniquely delivers dual-polarity reset without manual reset overhead-optimizing for space-constrained, software-managed automotive ECUs where MR is unnecessary.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for TPS3824-50QDBVRQ1?
The TPS3824-50QDBVRQ1 has a nominal negative-going input threshold voltage (VIT−) of 4.55 V, with a guaranteed range of 4.44 V to 4.64 V across −40°C to 125°C. This value is factory-trimmed and fixed-no external components adjust it. The 50 in the part number explicitly denotes the 5 V supervision variant, and the threshold is referenced directly in Section 6.5 of the official datasheet.
Does TPS3824-50QDBVRQ1 include a manual reset (MR) pin?
No, the TPS3824-50QDBVRQ1 does not include a manual reset (MR) pin. Per the device-specific pinout in Figure 5-2 and Pin Functions table, Pins 1–5 are RESET, GND, WDI, RESET, and VDD-no MR terminal is present. This distinguishes it from TPS3825-xx-Q1 variants, which allocate Pin 4 to MR instead of the second RESET output.
What is the watchdog timeout period for TPS3824-50QDBVRQ1?
The watchdog timeout (ttout) for TPS3824-50QDBVRQ1 is 1.6 seconds, with a specified range of 0.9 s to 2.5 s over temperature. This value applies to all TPS3823/4/8-xx-Q1 devices and is confirmed in Section 6.7 Switching Characteristics. The timer resets on each falling edge at the WDI pin and triggers reset if no transition occurs within this interval.
How does the dual-reset output function in TPS3824-50QDBVRQ1?
The TPS3824-50QDBVRQ1 provides two independent reset outputs: Pin 1 (RESET) is active-high push-pull, and Pin 4 (RESET) is active-low push-pull. Both assert/deassert simultaneously based on VDD and WDI status. This allows direct interfacing with MCUs requiring either polarity without external logic-verified in the Functional Block Diagram (Section 7.2) and Device Functional Modes table (Section 7.4).
Is TPS3824-50QDBVRQ1 qualified for automotive use?
Yes, TPS3824-50QDBVRQ1 is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications. It meets Grade 1 temperature requirements (−40°C to 125°C), HBM ESD classification Level 2 (±2000 V), and CDM ESD classification Level C4B (±750 V), as documented in Section 1 Features and Section 6.2 ESD Ratings of the datasheet.
