Product details
Overview
TPS3836L30QDBVRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an automotive-grade nanosupervisory circuit with 2.64 V fixed reset threshold, push-pull active-low RESET output, 220 nA typical supply current, 10 ms/200 ms selectable power-on reset delay, and operation from −40°C to 125°C in a 5-pin SOT-23 package. It monitors supply voltage for low-power DSPs and microcontrollers in battery-powered automotive systems.
For engineers reviewing the TPS3836L30QDBVRQ1 datasheet, TPS3836L30QDBVRQ1 pinout, TPS3836L30QDBVRQ1 application, or TPS3836L30QDBVRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its precise 2.64 V threshold tolerance (±3%), manual reset capability, CT-pin programmable delay, and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive use.
Technical Context
The TPS3836L30QDBVRQ1 integrates a precision bandgap reference, internal voltage divider, and refresh timer to generate a reliable power-on reset signal. Its reset assertion occurs when VDD rises above 1.1 V, then remains active until VDD exceeds 2.64 V and sustains for the selected delay period.
Reset timing is controlled via the CT pin: grounded for 10 ms typical delay, tied to VDD for 200 ms typical delay. The push-pull RESET output drives low actively and pulls high internally, eliminating external pull-up requirements while supporting 5 mA sink capability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold Voltage | 2.64 V ±3% - precisely matches 2.7 V nominal rail systems with guaranteed hysteresis of 40 mV for noise immunity. |
| Supply Current | 220 nA typical at VDD > 3 V - enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered automotive sensors and telematics modules. |
| Power-On Reset Delay | Selectable 10 ms or 200 ms - configurable via CT pin to align with processor boot timing or system capacitor charging profiles. |
| Output Type | Active-low push-pull - provides rail-to-rail drive without external components, supports direct connection to MCU reset inputs. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to 125°C - qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 for under-hood and infotainment applications. |
| ESD Protection | >2000 V HBM, >200 V MM - ensures robustness during automotive assembly and field service handling. |
Pinout & Package
TPS3836L30QDBVRQ1 uses the 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package, 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm × 1.45 mm, with gull-wing leads and pin 1 marked by an index area. Pin 1 is CT, Pin 2 is GND, Pin 3 is MR, Pin 4 is VDD, Pin 5 is RESET.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CT (Pin 1) | Delay Configuration Input | Ground for 10 ms reset delay; connect to VDD for 200 ms delay - no external components required. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Ground Reference | Primary return path for internal reference and output stage; must be low-impedance for stable threshold accuracy. |
| MR (Pin 3) | Manual Reset Input | Active-low asynchronous reset trigger; internally pulled up to VDD (30 kΩ), so open or VDD-connected for normal operation. |
| VDD (Pin 4) | Supply Input | Accepts 1.6 V to 6 V; powers internal circuitry and defines reset threshold reference point. |
| RESET (Pin 5) | Reset Output | Push-pull active-low output; sinks 5 mA minimum, drives high to VDD without external pull-up. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar supervisory circuit applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3836K33QDBVRQ1 | 2.93 V fixed threshold; otherwise identical pinout, timing, and electrical specs. | Targeted at 3.3 V systems instead of 2.7 V domains; same automotive qualification and package. | Select when monitoring 3.3 V rails where 2.93 V threshold better accommodates tolerance stack-up. |
| TPS3838L30QDBVRQ1 | Same 2.64 V threshold but open-drain RESET output; requires external pull-up resistor. | Suitable where level-shifting or wired-OR reset bus is needed; higher flexibility but added component count. | Choose only if system architecture mandates open-drain topology for shared reset lines or voltage translation. |

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the TPS3836L30QDBVRQ1?
The TPS3836L30QDBVRQ1 has a nominal reset threshold voltage of 2.64 V, with a guaranteed tolerance of ±3% over the full −40°C to 125°C operating temperature range. This value is factory-trimmed and specified in the Electrical Characteristics table of the official datasheet (SGLS141A), and applies directly to the TPS3836L30QDBVRQ1 without user calibration.
How does the CT pin configure the reset delay time in the TPS3836L30QDBVRQ1?
In the TPS3836L30QDBVRQ1, the CT pin selects between two factory-characterized delay times: connecting CT to GND yields a typical 10 ms power-on reset delay, while connecting CT to VDD yields a typical 200 ms delay. No external components are needed, and the delay begins after VDD exceeds the 2.64 V threshold and remains stable.
Is the TPS3836L30QDBVRQ1 pin-compatible with other members of the TPS3836-Q1 family?
Yes, the TPS3836L30QDBVRQ1 shares identical 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) packaging and pinout with all TPS3836-Q1 variants including TPS3836E18QDBVRQ1, TPS3836J25QDBVRQ1, and TPS3836K33QDBVRQ1. All use the same CT/GND/MR/VDD/RESET pin assignment and mechanical footprint.
Does the TPS3836L30QDBVRQ1 require an external pull-up resistor on the RESET pin?
No, the TPS3836L30QDBVRQ1 features a push-pull RESET output that actively drives both high and low states. It pulls high to VDD internally and does not require an external pull-up resistor - unlike open-drain alternatives such as the TPS3838L30QDBVRQ1, which mandates an external pull-up for proper logic high assertion.
What automotive qualification does the TPS3836L30QDBVRQ1 meet?
The TPS3836L30QDBVRQ1 is qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 standards, with full characterization across −40°C to 125°C ambient temperature. It includes automotive-specific reliability testing, ESD robustness (>2000 V HBM), and process controls documented in Texas Instruments' production data sheet SGLS141A.
