Product details
Overview
TPS3836J25QDBVRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an automotive-grade nanosupervisory circuit with 2.25 V fixed reset threshold, push-pull active-low RESET output, 220 nA typical supply current, and selectable 10 ms / 200 ms power-on reset delay via CT pin. It monitors supply voltage in low-power microcontroller systems for reliable power-up initialization and brownout detection.
For engineers reviewing the TPS3836J25QDBVRQ1 datasheet, TPS3836J25QDBVRQ1 pinout, TPS3836J25QDBVRQ1 application, or TPS3836J25QDBVRQ1 equivalent, this device delivers precision voltage supervision, manual reset capability, and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive embedded control, battery-powered instrumentation, and industrial sensor nodes requiring ultra-low quiescent current and −40°C to 125°C operation.
Technical Context
The TPS3836J25QDBVRQ1 integrates a precision bandgap reference, internal voltage divider for fixed 2.25 V threshold (±1.5% over temperature), and a refresh timer that initiates after VDD exceeds VIT. Its CT pin selects between two factory-trimmed delay modes: 10 ms (CT = GND) or 200 ms (CT = VDD), enabling flexible system boot timing without external components.
It features a push-pull RESET output capable of sinking 5 mA, supports manual reset assertion via MR pin with internal 30 kΩ pullup, and asserts RESET when VDD drops below VIT or during power-up until the delay expires. The device operates from 1.6 V to 6 V and maintains stable performance across its full −40°C to 125°C automotive temperature range.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervision applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3836K33QDBVRQ1 | 2.93 V fixed threshold; identical pinout, timing, and quiescent current | Targets 3.3 V systems instead of 2.5 V; same automotive qualification and SOT-23 package | Select when supervising 3.3 V rails - no layout change required, but verify threshold match to target supply |
| TPS3838J25QDBVRQ1 | Same 2.25 V threshold but open-drain RESET output; requires external pullup resistor | Used where wired-OR reset bus or level translation is needed; higher effective output impedance | Choose for shared reset lines or mixed-voltage systems; adds BOM cost and board area vs. push-pull TPS3836J25QDBVRQ1 |

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the TPS3836J25QDBVRQ1?
The TPS3836J25QDBVRQ1 has a nominal reset threshold voltage of 2.25 V, with a guaranteed range of 2.16 V to 2.30 V over −40°C to 125°C. This value is factory-trimmed and specified in the electrical characteristics table under "Negative-going input threshold voltage (VIT)" for the J25 variant. The TPS3836J25QDBVRQ1 uses an internal voltage divider to achieve this fixed threshold without external components.
Does the TPS3836J25QDBVRQ1 support manual reset functionality?
Yes, the TPS3836J25QDBVRQ1 supports manual reset via the MR pin (Pin 3). When pulled low, MR forces the RESET output active regardless of VDD level. The device includes an internal 30 kΩ pullup resistor on MR, so connecting MR to VDD disables manual reset and minimizes current draw. The MR pin accepts logic-level inputs and responds within 0.1 µs, as confirmed in the switching characteristics table.
How is the reset delay time configured on the TPS3836J25QDBVRQ1?
The reset delay time on the TPS3836J25QDBVRQ1 is selected using the CT pin (Pin 1): connect CT to GND for a typical 10 ms delay, or to VDD for a typical 200 ms delay. These values are factory-trimmed and specified in the timing requirements table (td parameter). No external capacitor or resistor is required - the delay is generated by an internal refresh timer synchronized to VDD crossing VIT.
Is the TPS3836J25QDBVRQ1 compatible with 1.8 V systems?
No, the TPS3836J25QDBVRQ1 is not intended for 1.8 V system supervision. Its 2.25 V threshold is optimized for 2.5 V rails. For 1.8 V systems, TI offers the TPS3836E18QDBVRQ1 (1.71 V threshold). The TPS3836J25QDBVRQ1's recommended operating supply range is 1.6 V to 6 V, but its supervision function only activates when VDD exceeds its 2.25 V threshold - making it unsuitable for reliable monitoring of 1.8 V supplies.
What packaging and reel specifications apply to the TPS3836J25QDBVRQ1?
The TPS3836J25QDBVRQ1 is supplied in a 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package, tape-and-reel format with 3000 units per reel. Reel dimensions are 180 mm diameter and 8.4–9.0 mm width; pin 1 orientation follows quadrant Q3 per JEDEC standards. The device is RoHS-compliant, NIPDAU/SN lead finish, MSL Level-1, and rated for −40°C to 125°C operation - all verified in TI's official packaging addendum.
