Product details
Overview
TPS3825-50DBVTG4 from Texas Instruments is a 5-pin SOT-23 voltage supervisor IC with active-low and active-high reset outputs, 4.55 V negative-going threshold (VIT−), 200 ms reset delay, watchdog timer timeout of 1.6 s, and 15 µA typical supply current. It monitors 5 V supply rails in microcontroller-based systems requiring reliable power-on reset and fault recovery.
For engineers reviewing the TPS3825-50DBVTG4 datasheet, TPS3825-50DBVTG4 pinout, TPS3825-50DBVTG4 application, or TPS3825-50DBVTG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-reset logic support, manual reset input compatibility, watchdog timer timing accuracy across −40°C to 85°C, and push-pull output drive capability for direct interfacing with MSP430 or ARM Cortex-M reset inputs.
Technical Context
The TPS3825-50DBVTG4 implements a fixed-threshold supervision architecture with internal voltage divider setting VIT− = 4.55 V (nominal) and hysteresis of 50 mV. Its dual-output structure provides simultaneous active-low RESET and active-high RESET signals, enabling flexible reset signaling without external inverters.
Watchdog functionality relies on edge-triggered WDI input detection with 1.6 s timeout; reset assertion persists for 200 ms after timeout or MR activation. The device operates from 1.1 V to 5.5 V and requires no external components for basic supervision, supporting immediate integration into space-constrained embedded designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.1 V to 5.5 V - powers device and enables monitoring of 5 V rails down to brownout conditions |
| Negative-GOing Threshold (VIT−) | 4.49 V to 4.64 V - precise 5 V rail supervision with ±1.5% tolerance over temperature |
| Reset Delay Time (td) | 120 ms to 300 ms - ensures stable microcontroller initialization before release from reset |
| Watchdog Timeout (ttout) | 0.9 s to 2.5 s - configurable system-level fault detection window for firmware hang recovery |
| Supply Current (IDD) | 15 µA typical - ultra-low quiescent consumption suitable for battery-backed applications |
| Output Type | Push-pull RESET and RESET - eliminates need for external pull-up resistors in most host interfaces |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded control and communications equipment |
Pinout & Package
TPS3825-50DBVTG4 uses a 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package with nominal body size 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm and standard lead pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: RESET | Active-low reset output | Push-pull driver asserts low during power-up, brownout, watchdog timeout, or MR activation |
| 2: GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all internal circuitry and output stages |
| 3: MR | Manual reset input | Active-low signal forces reset regardless of VDD level; internal 90 kΩ pullup when unconnected |
| 4: RESET | Active-high reset output | Complementary push-pull output synchronized with RESET; enables direct interface to active-high reset domains |
| 5: VDD | Supply and sense input | Powers device and serves as monitored rail; asserts reset if voltage falls below VIT− |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual active reset outputs | Simultaneous RESET (active-low) and RESET (active-high) eliminate external logic for mixed-interface systems |
| Integrated watchdog timer | 1.6 s timeout detects firmware hangs without external timing components or MCU intervention |
| Manual reset input (MR) | Hardware-initiated reset via external button or logic signal, independent of supply voltage condition |
| Fixed 5 V threshold | VIT− = 4.55 V (nominal) with 50 mV hysteresis ensures robust immunity to supply ripple and noise |
| Low-power operation | 15 µA typical supply current extends battery life in portable and remote sensor applications |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3824-50DBVT | Identical pinout, same 4.55 V threshold and 200 ms delay, but lacks manual reset (MR) input | Cannot support hardware-initiated reset via pushbutton or external logic signal | Select when MR functionality is unnecessary and cost optimization is prioritized |
| TPS3823-50DBVT | Same package and threshold, but provides only active-low RESET output (no RESET) | Requires external inverter or level-shifter to interface with active-high reset domains | Select when system design uses only one reset polarity and board area is constrained |

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for TPS3825-50DBVTG4?
The TPS3825-50DBVTG4 has a nominal negative-going input threshold voltage (VIT−) of 4.55 V, with guaranteed minimum and maximum values of 4.49 V and 4.64 V respectively across −40°C to +85°C. This fixed threshold is set by an internal resistor divider and requires no external calibration.
Does TPS3825-50DBVTG4 support both active-low and active-high reset outputs simultaneously?
Yes, TPS3825-50DBVTG4 provides two independent reset outputs: pin 1 (RESET) is active-low, and pin 4 (RESET) is active-high. Both outputs are push-pull and assert/deassert synchronously during power-up, brownout, watchdog timeout, or manual reset events.
What is the watchdog timeout duration for TPS3825-50DBVTG4?
The watchdog timeout (ttout) for TPS3825-50DBVTG4 is 1.6 s nominal, with a guaranteed range of 0.9 s to 2.5 s over temperature. The timer resets on each falling edge at the WDI pin and triggers reset if no transition occurs within this interval.
Can TPS3825-50DBVTG4 operate from a 3.3 V supply rail?
No - TPS3825-50DBVTG4 is specifically configured for 5 V rail supervision with VIT− = 4.55 V. For 3.3 V applications, use TPS3825-33DBVTG4 (VIT− = 2.93 V). Operating TPS3825-50DBVTG4 from 3.3 V would prevent reset assertion during undervoltage conditions.
Is the manual reset (MR) input of TPS3825-50DBVTG4 internally pulled up?
Yes, TPS3825-50DBVTG4 includes an internal 90 kΩ pullup resistor on the MR pin. When left unconnected or tied to VDD, MR remains inactive; pulling MR low (≤ 0.3 × VDD) forces immediate reset assertion for the full 200 ms delay period.
