Product details
Overview
TPS3839E16DBZT from Texas Instruments is an ultralow-power voltage supervisor IC designed for single-rail supply monitoring in battery-critical systems. It features a factory-trimmed 1.52 V reset threshold, 150 nA typical supply current, push-pull RESET output, and valid operation down to 0.6 V VDD - enabling reliable power-on reset in sub-1.8 V alkaline or Li-ion single-cell applications.
For engineers reviewing the TPS3839E16DBZT datasheet, TPS3839E16DBZT pinout, TPS3839E16DBZT application, or TPS3839E16DBZT equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.52 V threshold accuracy (±1% at 25°C), 200 ms reset delay, SOT-23-3 package compatibility, and transient rejection capability for fast VDD dips.
Technical Context
The TPS3839E16DBZT implements a precision comparator-based supervision architecture with built-in hysteresis (15 mV typical) to prevent chatter during threshold crossing. Its sampling scheme draws only ~15 µA for ~200 µs per cycle, sustaining average quiescent current at 150 nA across –40°C to +85°C.
Unlike the TPS3831 variant, the TPS3839E16DBZT omits the manual reset (MR) input and uses a 3-pin SOT-23 package - simplifying layout while retaining full voltage monitoring functionality, push-pull drive strength (2 mA sink), and immunity to transients ≥20 µs duration at 1.52 V threshold overdrive.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3839G12DBZT | 1.1 V reset threshold; otherwise identical electrical specs and SOT-23-3 package | Targets 1.2 V logic rails or dual-cell NiMH systems instead of 1.5 V alkaline | Select when supervising lower-voltage domains where 1.52 V threshold would cause premature reset |
| MAX6375XR22+T | 2.2 V threshold, 1.6 µA supply current, SC70-3 package, no hysteresis spec | Higher current draw limits use in multi-year battery applications; lacks transient rejection data | Consider only for cost-sensitive, non-battery applications where 1.52 V threshold is unavailable |
Compared with TPS3839G12DBZT and MAX6375XR22+T, the TPS3839E16DBZT delivers optimal trade-off between precision (±1%), ultra-low power (150 nA), and robust transient immunity - making it the preferred choice for long-life 1.5 V rail supervision.

FAQ
What is the reset threshold voltage of the TPS3839E16DBZT?
The TPS3839E16DBZT has a factory-trimmed negative-going reset threshold voltage of 1.52 V with ±1% accuracy at 25°C. This value remains stable across –40°C to +85°C, with typical hysteresis of 15 mV to prevent oscillation near the threshold. The device asserts active-low RESET whenever VDD falls below this threshold and holds it for 200 ms after VDD rises above (1.52 V + hysteresis).
Does the TPS3839E16DBZT support manual reset functionality?
No, the TPS3839E16DBZT does not include a manual reset (MR) input. That feature is exclusive to the TPS3831 family (e.g., TPS3831E16DQNR). The TPS3839E16DBZT is a 3-pin SOT-23 device with VDD, GND, and RESET terminals only - simplifying design for applications requiring only supply-voltage monitoring without external reset control.
What is the minimum supply voltage required for valid RESET assertion in the TPS3839E16DBZT?
The TPS3839E16DBZT guarantees valid RESET assertion down to VDD = 0.6 V, as specified by the V(POR) parameter in the Electrical Characteristics table. Below 0.6 V, the RESET output state is undefined and must not be relied upon. This capability allows the TPS3839E16DBZT to provide deterministic reset behavior deeper into battery discharge than most competing supervisors.
Can the TPS3839E16DBZT drive a microcontroller's bidirectional reset pin directly?
Yes, but with caution: the TPS3839E16DBZT's push-pull RESET output can drive a bidirectional reset pin, provided a series current-limiting resistor (e.g., 100 Ω–1 kΩ) is placed between RESET and the MCU pin. This prevents excessive current flow if both devices attempt to drive the line simultaneously - a requirement explicitly noted in TI's Application Report SBVS193D Section 9.2.2.2.
What bypass capacitor is recommended for the TPS3839E16DBZT VDD pin?
A 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor is recommended adjacent to the VDD pin of the TPS3839E16DBZT. This mitigates voltage droop caused by the device's periodic 15 µA, ~200 µs sampling current - especially critical when sourced from high-impedance supplies (e.g., resistive dividers or long PCB traces). TI confirms this value in Sections 9.2.2.1 and 11.1 of the SBVS193D datasheet.
