Product details
Overview
TPS3837J25QDBVRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an automotive-grade nanosupervisory circuit with active-high push-pull RESET output, 2.25 V precision voltage threshold (±1.5% over −40°C to 125°C), 220 nA typical supply current, and selectable 10 ms / 200 ms reset delay via CT pin. It monitors power rails in low-power microcontroller systems requiring reliable power-on reset and brownout detection.
For engineers reviewing the TPS3837J25QDBVRQ1 datasheet, TPS3837J25QDBVRQ1 pinout, TPS3837J25QDBVRQ1 application, or TPS3837J25QDBVRQ1 equivalent, this device delivers ultra-low quiescent current, AEC-Q100 qualified operation, precise threshold stability across temperature, and manual reset capability - critical for battery-powered automotive ECUs and industrial embedded controllers.
Technical Context
The TPS3837J25QDBVRQ1 implements a band-gap referenced voltage comparator with internal hysteresis (40 mV) and a refresh timer that initiates after VDD exceeds the 2.25 V threshold. Its active-high push-pull RESET output drives logic-high during normal operation and asserts low upon undervoltage or manual reset.
Delay timing is controlled by the CT pin: grounded for 10 ms typical delay, tied to VDD for 200 ms typical delay. The MR input accepts TTL/CMOS-compatible signals and features an internal 30 kΩ pullup, enabling direct connection to GND for manual reset assertion without external components.
Key Specifications

| 3 - MR | Manual Reset Input | Active-low asynchronous reset; internally pulled up to VDD (30 kΩ); assert low to force RESET low |
| 4 - VDD | Supply Input | Operates from 1.6 V to 6 V; powers internal reference, comparator, and output stage |
| 5 - RESET | Active-High Push-Pull Output | Drives high during valid supply; pulls low on undervoltage or MR assertion - no external pullup required |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the TPS3837J25QDBVRQ1?
The TPS3837J25QDBVRQ1 has a nominal reset threshold voltage of 2.25 V, with a guaranteed tolerance of ±1.5% over the full −40°C to +125°C operating range. This value is factory-trimmed and specified in the electrical characteristics table under parameter VIT for TPS383xJ25 variants.
Does the TPS3837J25QDBVRQ1 require an external pullup resistor on the RESET pin?
No, the TPS3837J25QDBVRQ1 features an active-high push-pull RESET output, meaning it actively drives both high and low states. Unlike open-drain variants, it does not require an external pullup resistor - simplifying layout and reducing BOM count.
How is the reset delay time configured on the TPS3837J25QDBVRQ1?
The reset delay time on the TPS3837J25QDBVRQ1 is selected using the CT pin: connect CT to GND for a typical 10 ms delay, or to VDD for a typical 200 ms delay. No external capacitor or resistor is needed - timing is internally generated and factory-calibrated.
Is the TPS3837J25QDBVRQ1 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the TPS3837J25QDBVRQ1 carries the Q1 suffix and is AEC-Q100 qualified for Grade 1 (−40°C to +125°C). It undergoes automotive-specific stress testing including HTOL, temperature cycling, and ESD per MIL-STD-883, and is rated for use in engine control, body electronics, and ADAS subsystems.
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for the TPS3837J25QDBVRQ1?
The absolute maximum supply voltage (VDD) for the TPS3837J25QDBVRQ1 is 7 V, but the recommended operating range is 1.6 V to 6 V. Operation above 6 V is not advised for continuous use, and prolonged exposure to 7 V may affect long-term reliability per the datasheet's absolute maximum ratings note.
