Product details
Overview
TPS3828-33QDBVRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an automotive-grade voltage supervisor IC with integrated watchdog timer, open-drain active-low reset output, 3.3 V supply threshold (VIT− = 2.84–3.00 V), 200 ms reset delay, and manual reset input - used for power-on initialization and fault recovery in automotive microcontrollers and DSPs.
For engineers reviewing the TPS3828-33QDBVRQ1 datasheet, TPS3828-33QDBVRQ1 pinout, TPS3828-33QDBVRQ1 application, or TPS3828-33QDBVRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification (−40°C to 125°C), 15 µA typical supply current, open-drain RESET output compatibility with wired-OR configurations, and watchdog timeout of 1.6 s.
Technical Context
The TPS3828-33QDBVRQ1 implements a fixed-threshold supervision architecture with internal voltage divider setting VIT− at 3.3 V nominal, hysteresis of 50 mV, and power-on reset assertion at VDD > 1.1 V. Its watchdog timer triggers on missing WDI transitions within 0.9–2.5 s and resets on falling edges.
It features a manual reset input (MR) that forces active-low RESET regardless of VDD level or watchdog state, and uses open-drain output stage enabling flexible pull-up configuration and multi-source reset bus sharing - distinct from push-pull variants like TPS3823-33QDBVRQ1.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply threshold VIT− | 2.84–3.00 V at −40°C to 125°C; ensures reliable 3.3 V rail monitoring across full automotive temperature range |
| Reset delay td | 120–300 ms; provides sufficient time for downstream processor stabilization after power-up or brownout recovery |
| Watchdog timeout ttout | 0.9–2.5 s; detects firmware lockup in safety-critical automotive control units without requiring external timing components |
| Supply current IDD | 15–25 µA typical; enables low-power operation in always-on vehicle subsystems such as body control modules |
| Output type | Open-drain RESET; supports wired-OR reset buses, level translation, and shared reset signaling with multiple supervisors |
| ESD rating | HBM ±2000 V, CDM ±750 V; meets AEC-Q100 stress test requirements for robustness in automotive manufacturing and field environments |
| Operating temperature | −40°C to 125°C ambient; qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 for under-hood and infotainment applications |
Pinout & Package
TPS3828-33QDBVRQ1 is housed in a 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package with 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm body size and standard lead pitch. Pin functions are validated per TI SGLS143E datasheet Figures 5-1 and 5-2.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: RESET | Active-low open-drain output | Drives low during reset assertion; requires external pull-up for logic-high inactive state; supports multi-device reset bus |
| 2: GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for internal circuitry and output sink current; must be connected to system ground plane |
| 3: MR | Manual reset input | Active-low signal; forces RESET low when asserted, independent of VDD or watchdog status; internally pulled up to ~90 kΩ |
| 4: WDI | Watchdog timer input | Edge-sensitive input; falling edge clears watchdog timer; floating state generates internal pulses to prevent spurious reset |
| 5: VDD | Supply and monitored voltage | Powers device and serves as monitored rail; operates from 1.1 V to 5.5 V; threshold set to 3.3 V nominal |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for −40°C to 125°C operation, HBM ±2000 V, CDM ±750 V - suitable for engine control, ADAS, and gateway ECUs |
| Open-drain RESET output | Enables direct connection to shared reset lines with other open-drain supervisors or processors without level-shifting or contention |
| 200 ms fixed reset delay | Guarantees minimum reset pulse width for proper initialization of automotive MCUs such as TI C2000 or NXP S32K series |
| 1.6 s watchdog timeout | Provides deterministic fault detection window for firmware hang scenarios in ASIL-B compliant systems |
| Manual reset (MR) with internal pull-up | Allows external hardware reset initiation (e.g., button, diagnostic tool) without external resistor; simplifies BOM and layout |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervision applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3823-33QDBVRQ1 | Push-pull active-low RESET output; identical VIT−, td, ttout, and pinout | Requires dedicated reset line; not compatible with wired-OR bus architectures | Select when system uses single-supervisor reset topology and no shared reset bus is needed |
| TPS3828-33QDBVTQ1 | Same electrical specs and pinout; packaged in 5-pin SOT-23-THIN (DCK) with 1.60 mm × 1.20 mm footprint | Smaller PCB area; higher thermal resistance (RθJA = 225°C/W vs. 185°C/W) | Select when board space is constrained and thermal derating is acceptable for ambient < 105°C |

FAQ
What is the exact supply voltage threshold for TPS3828-33QDBVRQ1?
The TPS3828-33QDBVRQ1 has a negative-going input threshold voltage (VIT−) of 2.84 V (min), 2.93 V (typ), and 3.00 V (max) over −40°C to 125°C - specifically calibrated for 3.3 V rail supervision with 50 mV hysteresis to reject noise-induced false resets.
Does TPS3828-33QDBVRQ1 require external components for basic operation?
No. The TPS3828-33QDBVRQ1 requires no external resistors or capacitors for core supervision function. A 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor on VDD is recommended for noisy supplies, but the internal voltage divider, timer, and watchdog logic are fully self-contained.
How does the watchdog timer in TPS3828-33QDBVRQ1 behave when WDI is left unconnected?
When WDI is floating, the TPS3828-33QDBVRQ1 generates internal pulses to prevent watchdog timeout. This default behavior avoids unintended reset assertion - but for deterministic operation, WDI should be driven by MCU GPIO or pulled high/low with a 1 kΩ resistor if unused.
Can TPS3828-33QDBVRQ1 drive a microcontroller reset pin directly?
Yes - the open-drain RESET output of TPS3828-33QDBVRQ1 can directly interface with standard CMOS or TTL reset inputs. An external pull-up resistor (typically 4.7–10 kΩ to VDD) is required to establish the inactive high state; sink current capability supports ≥3 mA at 0.4 V.
Is TPS3828-33QDBVRQ1 pin-compatible with other TPS382x-Q1 variants?
Yes - TPS3828-33QDBVRQ1 shares identical 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) pinout with TPS3820/3/4/5-33QDBVRQ1. Pin-for-pin compatibility enables drop-in substitution where open-drain output is acceptable, though output drive architecture differs from push-pull variants.
