Product details
Overview
TPS3828-50QDBVRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an automotive-grade processor supervisory circuit with open-drain reset output, 4.55 V supply voltage threshold, 200 ms power-on reset delay, watchdog timer, and manual reset input. It operates from −40°C to 125°C in SOT-23-5 package and is used for reliable power-up initialization and fault monitoring in automotive microcontroller systems.
For engineers reviewing the TPS3828-50QDBVRQ1 datasheet, TPS3828-50QDBVRQ1 pinout, TPS3828-50QDBVRQ1 application, or TPS3828-50QDBVRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 qualification, open-drain RESET output compatibility with bidirectional microcontroller reset pins, fixed 4.55 V supervision threshold, 200 ms delay timing, and integrated watchdog timeout of 1.6 s.
Technical Context
The TPS3828-50QDBVRQ1 implements a precision voltage supervisor with internal resistor-divider-based threshold detection at 4.55 V (VIT−), hysteresis of 50 mV, and power-on reset assertion below 1.1 V. Its reset logic asserts active-low open-drain output when VDD falls below VIT− or MR is pulled low.
It integrates a watchdog timer triggered by transitions on WDI; failure to retrigger within 1.6 s (typ) forces RESET assertion for 200 ms. The device draws only 15 μA typical supply current and requires no external components for basic operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Threshold | 4.55 V (VIT−), ±3% tolerance over −40°C to 125°C - ensures reliable 5 V rail supervision |
| Reset Delay | 200 ms (fixed) - provides sufficient time for power stabilization and processor core initialization |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6 s (typ) - detects firmware hangs in automotive control loops without requiring external timing components |
| Output Type | Open-drain RESET - enables wired-OR configuration and compatibility with bidirectional MCU reset pins |
| Supply Current | 15 μA (typ) - minimizes quiescent power in always-on vehicle subsystems |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to 125°C - meets AEC-Q100 Grade 1 requirements for under-hood and infotainment applications |
| Hysteresis | 50 mV - prevents oscillation during slow-rising or noisy supply conditions |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 package (DBV drawing), 5-pin surface-mount, 1.6 mm × 2.9 mm footprint, RoHS-compliant, green (Pb-free, no Sb/Br) finish, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - RESET | Open-drain reset output | Active-low signal; requires external pullup for logic-high state; sinks up to 5 mA |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for all internal circuits and output sink current |
| 3 - MR | Manual reset input | Active-low; pulls RESET low when asserted; internally pulled up to VDD via 52 kΩ resistor |
| 4 - VDD | Supply input | Power source (1.1 V to 5.5 V); powers internal comparator, timer, and logic |
| 5 - WDI | Watchdog input | Edge-triggered; rising or falling transition resets watchdog timer; unconnected disables watchdog |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 qualified | Stress-tested for automotive use across −40°C to 125°C ambient, supporting safety-critical ECUs |
| Open-drain RESET output | Enables shared reset bus with multiple devices and direct interface to bidirectional MCU reset pins |
| Integrated watchdog timer | 1.6 s timeout eliminates need for external RC timing network or separate watchdog IC |
| Manual reset input (MR) | Allows system-level reset initiation independent of supply voltage condition |
| No external components required | Self-contained supervision: internal voltage divider, timer, and pullup eliminate BOM cost and layout area |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3823-50QDBVRQ1 | Same 4.55 V threshold and SOT-23-5 package, but active-low push-pull RESET output (not open-drain) | Requires external pullup for wired-OR; incompatible with bidirectional MCU reset pins | Select when push-pull drive strength is needed and shared reset bus is not required |
| TPS3824-50QDBVRQ1 | Same 4.55 V threshold and SOT-23-5 package, but active-high push-pull RESET output | Cannot interface directly with standard active-low MCU reset inputs without inversion logic | Select only when system design mandates active-high reset signaling and no inversion is acceptable |

FAQ
What is the reset output configuration of the TPS3828-50QDBVRQ1?
The TPS3828-50QDBVRQ1 features an open-drain RESET output, requiring an external pullup resistor to define the inactive (high) state. This configuration allows wired-OR connection with other reset sources and direct interfacing with bidirectional microcontroller reset pins, unlike push-pull variants in the same family.
Does the TPS3828-50QDBVRQ1 require external components for basic supervision functionality?
No, the TPS3828-50QDBVRQ1 operates autonomously with no external components required for core functions: voltage threshold detection, 200 ms reset delay, manual reset input (MR), and watchdog timer (WDI). Only an external pullup resistor on the open-drain RESET pin is needed for proper logic-level definition.
What is the watchdog timeout period for the TPS3828-50QDBVRQ1?
The watchdog timeout for the TPS3828-50QDBVRQ1 is 1.6 s (typical), with a range of 0.9 s to 2.5 s over temperature and process variation. A rising or falling edge on the WDI pin resets the timer; absence of transitions beyond this interval triggers RESET assertion for 200 ms.
Is the TPS3828-50QDBVRQ1 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the TPS3828-50QDBVRQ1 is AEC-Q100 qualified (Grade 1) and specified for operation from −40°C to 125°C. It includes automotive-specific features such as enhanced ESD protection (>2000 V HBM), validated reliability testing, and production flow aligned with automotive quality standards.
What is the supply voltage supervision threshold for the TPS3828-50QDBVRQ1?
The TPS3828-50QDBVRQ1 has a fixed negative-going input threshold voltage (VIT−) of 4.55 V, with ±3% tolerance over temperature. This value is factory-trimmed and applies across the full operating range of −40°C to 125°C, making it suitable for precise 5 V rail supervision in automotive systems.
