Product details
Overview
TPS3837L30QDBVRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an automotive-grade nanosupervisory circuit with active-high push-pull RESET output, 2.64 V fixed threshold voltage, 220 nA typical supply current, −40°C to 125°C operating range, and selectable 10 ms / 200 ms power-on reset delay. It monitors supply rails in low-power automotive microcontrollers and battery-powered telematics modules.
For engineers reviewing the TPS3837L30QDBVRQ1 datasheet, TPS3837L30QDBVRQ1 pinout, TPS3837L30QDBVRQ1 application, or TPS3837L30QDBVRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its Q1 automotive qualification, precise 2.64 V supervision level, CT-pin configurable delay, manual reset capability, and SOT-23-5 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The TPS3837L30QDBVRQ1 implements a bandgap-referenced voltage comparator with internal hysteresis (40 mV) to reject noise-induced false resets. Its reset logic integrates a refresh timer that initiates after VDD exceeds the 2.64 V threshold, with delay timing controlled by the CT pin-grounded for 10 ms or tied to VDD for 200 ms.
Unlike open-drain or active-low variants, this device asserts RESET high upon valid supply conditions and holds it low during undervoltage events. Manual reset (MR) overrides automatic supervision with sub-1 µs response, and the internal MR pullup (30 kΩ) enables direct connection to GND without external components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold Voltage | 2.64 V (precisely trimmed; supports 2.7 V nominal rail monitoring with ±50 mV hysteresis) |
| Supply Current | 220 nA typical (enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered automotive sensors) |
| Reset Delay Options | 10 ms (CT = GND) or 200 ms (CT = VDD); no external capacitor required |
| Output Type | Active-high push-pull RESET (drives high to VDD; sinks up to 2 mA, sources up to −2 mA) |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to 125°C (AEC-Q100 qualified for engine bay and ADAS ECU deployment) |
| ESD Protection | >2000 V HBM, >200 V MM (robust handling in automotive manufacturing environments) |
| Package | SOT-23-5 (2.9 mm × 1.6 mm footprint; compatible with standard pick-and-place and reflow processes) |
Pinout & Package
TPS3837L30QDBVRQ1 is housed in a 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package with gull-wing leads, RoHS-compliant green finish, and moisture sensitivity level 1 (260°C peak reflow).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - CT | Delay Configuration Input | Selects reset timeout: GND = 10 ms, VDD = 200 ms; high-impedance input draws <25 nA |
| 2 - GND | Ground Reference | Return path for all internal circuits; must be low-inductance connection to system ground plane |
| 3 - MR | Manual Reset Input | Active-low asynchronous reset trigger; internally pulled up to VDD (30 kΩ); accepts 0 V to VDD logic levels |
| 4 - VDD | Supply Input | Power rail input (1.6 V to 6 V); requires local 0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor per datasheet Note 3 |
| 5 - RESET | Supervisory Output | Active-high push-pull signal; drives processor / FPGA / ASIC reset line directly without external pullup |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Nanopower Operation | 220 nA supply current enables integration into always-on automotive subsystems without compromising battery life |
| Automotive Qualification | AEC-Q100 Grade 1 certified with full temperature range support (−40°C to 125°C) and enhanced reliability screening |
| Configurable Reset Timing | No external components needed for delay selection-reduces BOM count and layout area versus RC-based solutions |
| Robust Input Protection | MR and CT pins tolerate −0.3 V to 7 V; internal clamp diodes prevent latch-up during transients |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar supervisory circuit applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3836L30QDBVRQ1 | Active-low push-pull RESET output; identical threshold (2.64 V), delay options, and package | Requires inverted reset logic on host MCU; unsuitable where active-high reset is mandated by SoC architecture | Select when target processor accepts active-low reset and board layout already uses pull-down strategy |
| TPS3838L30QDBVRQ1 | Active-low open-drain RESET output; same threshold and timing; requires external pullup resistor | Enables wired-OR reset bus sharing across multiple supervisors; adds BOM cost and layout area | Choose for multi-rail systems requiring shared reset arbitration or level translation to higher voltage domains |

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the TPS3837L30QDBVRQ1?
The TPS3837L30QDBVRQ1 has a precisely trimmed negative-going input threshold voltage of 2.64 V, with a guaranteed range of 2.54 V to 2.71 V over −40°C to 125°C. This value is factory-set and does not require external calibration; it is optimized for monitoring 2.7 V nominal rails in automotive systems where early brownout detection is critical before MCU functional failure.
How does the CT pin configure the reset delay time in the TPS3837L30QDBVRQ1?
The CT pin on the TPS3837L30QDBVRQ1 selects between two factory-programmed delay options: connecting CT to GND configures a typical 10 ms power-on reset delay, while connecting CT to VDD selects a typical 200 ms delay. No external capacitor is needed-the timing is generated by an internal RC network, ensuring consistent performance across temperature and voltage variations without layout sensitivity.
Is the TPS3837L30QDBVRQ1 compatible with 1.8 V supply rails?
Yes, the TPS3837L30QDBVRQ1 operates over a supply voltage range of 1.6 V to 6 V, making it fully compatible with 1.8 V systems. However, its 2.64 V reset threshold means it is intended to supervise higher-voltage rails (e.g., 2.7 V or 3.0 V) rather than the 1.8 V core domain itself. For 1.8 V rail supervision, TPS3837E18QDBVRQ1 (1.71 V threshold) would be the appropriate variant.
Does the TPS3837L30QDBVRQ1 require an external pullup resistor on the RESET pin?
No, the TPS3837L30QDBVRQ1 features an active-high push-pull RESET output capable of sourcing up to −2 mA and sinking up to 2 mA. This eliminates the need for an external pullup resistor, simplifying the schematic, reducing component count, and improving noise immunity-especially important in electrically noisy automotive environments where open-drain outputs may suffer from slow rise times or EMI coupling.
What automotive qualification level does the TPS3837L30QDBVRQ1 meet?
The TPS3837L30QDBVRQ1 is AEC-Q100 qualified to Grade 1 (−40°C to +125°C ambient), with full reliability testing including HTOL, TC, UHAST, and ESD per JESD22 standards. Its DBV package carries MSL Level-1 rating, and the device is marked "Q1" to denote automotive qualification-ensuring suitability for powertrain, chassis, and body electronics applications requiring long-term reliability under harsh thermal and vibration conditions.
