Product details
Overview
TPS3840DL30DBVR from Texas Instruments is a nano-power, high-input-voltage supervisor IC with active-low open-drain reset output, fixed 3.0V threshold (±1.5% max), 300nA typical supply current, and programmable reset delay up to 6.2s via external capacitor on CT pin-used for reliable power-on-reset and brownout detection in battery-powered industrial sensors.
For engineers reviewing the TPS3840DL30DBVR datasheet, TPS3840DL30DBVR pinout, TPS3840DL30DBVR application, or TPS3840DL30DBVR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.5V–10V operating range, 100mV hysteresis (typical) at 3.0V threshold, 220µs startup delay, SOT-23-5 package footprint, and MR input compatibility with 3.3V/5V logic systems.
Technical Context
The TPS3840DL30DBVR implements a precision bandgap-based voltage comparator with built-in hysteresis and glitch immunity on both VDD and MR inputs. Its internal CT pin resistor (500kΩ typ) forms an RC time constant with external capacitor to generate user-defined reset hold times.
It operates across –40°C to +125°C with 1% typical VIT− accuracy and supports fast fault response: propagation delay from VDD drop to RESET assertion is 30µs max, while MR-triggered reset asserts within 700ns. The open-drain RESET output requires an external pull-up and sinks ≤2mA at VOL ≤200mV.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.5V to 10V - enables direct monitoring of 3.3V, 5V, and 9V rails without level-shifting or external resistive dividers |
| Threshold Voltage (VIT−) | 3.0V ±1.5% - factory-trimmed fixed threshold optimized for 3.3V system POR and brownout detection |
| Supply Current (IDD) | 300nA typical, 700nA max - extends battery life in always-on IoT nodes and portable meters |
| Hysteresis (VHYS) | 100mV typical - prevents oscillatory reset toggling during slow-rising/falling supply transitions |
| Startup Delay (tSTRT) | 220µs typical - ensures stable internal biasing before enabling downstream circuitry after power-up |
| Reset Delay Range (tD) | 50µs (no cap) to 6.2s (10µF) - configurable timing for sequenced power-up or firmware initialization windows |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for industrial control, smart metering, and automotive under-hood auxiliary monitoring |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 (DBV) package: 2.90mm × 1.60mm footprint, 0.95mm max height, gull-wing leads, RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: RESET | Open-drain active-low output | Sinks current when asserted; requires external pull-up to VDD or another rail; compatible with 1.8V–10V logic interfaces |
| 2: VDD | Power input and monitored rail | Supplies internal circuitry and serves as the voltage being supervised; accepts 1.5V–10V directly |
| 3: GND | Ground reference | Analog and digital ground return; must be low-impedance path to minimize noise coupling into threshold detection |
| 4: MR | Active-low manual reset input | Pulled low by host MCU GPIO to force reset; internally pulled up to VDD (100kΩ); tolerant of 0–12V input |
| 5: CT | Capacitor time-delay programming node | Connects to GND via external capacitor (0–10µF) to set reset hold time; floating for minimum 50µs delay |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Nano-power operation | 300nA typical IDD enables >10-year battery life in coin-cell-powered smoke detectors and remote sensors |
| Programmable reset delay | External capacitor on CT pin sets tD from 50µs to 6.2s-supports firmware boot sequencing and multi-rail power management |
| Built-in hysteresis | 100mV (at 3.0V threshold) eliminates false resets during marginal supply recovery without external components |
| Glitch-immune MR and VDD inputs | Rejects transients <10µs wide at 5% overdrive-ensures robustness in electrically noisy factory automation environments |
| Wide temperature range | –40°C to +125°C operation validated per AEC-Q100 stress tests-suitable for outdoor grid infrastructure and HVAC controllers |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3840PL30DBVR | Push-pull active-low RESET output; no external pull-up required; higher sink current (2mA vs open-drain leakage-limited) | Better suited for driving heavy capacitive loads or TTL inputs directly; less flexible for mixed-voltage interfacing | Select when board layout lacks space for pull-up resistor or when driving long traces with >100pF load |
| MAX6326LT31D2T | 3.09V threshold (±2.5%), 1.6µA typical IDD, SOT23-5, fixed 200ms reset timeout, no MR or CT pin | Fixed delay only; no manual reset or programmability; higher current draw limits battery life | Choose for cost-sensitive, non-battery applications where simple fixed-delay reset suffices and design freeze prohibits component changes |
Compared with TPS3840PL30DBVR, the TPS3840DL30DBVR offers superior voltage-level flexibility via open-drain output but requires a pull-up; versus MAX6326LT31D2T, it delivers 5× lower quiescent current and full programmability-critical for energy harvesting and long-life deployments.

FAQ
What is the exact threshold voltage and accuracy of the TPS3840DL30DBVR?
The TPS3840DL30DBVR has a factory-set negative-going input threshold (VIT−) of 3.0V with ±1.5% maximum deviation over –40°C to +125°C and 1% typical accuracy. This value is laser-trimmed during production and does not require external calibration. Hysteresis is 100mV typical, yielding VIT+ = 3.1V for clean release behavior.
How do I configure the reset delay time for the TPS3840DL30DBVR?
Connect a capacitor between the CT pin (Pin 5) and GND. With no capacitor, tD = 50µs. A 100nF capacitor yields ~62ms; 1µF gives ~619ms; 10µF achieves ~6.2s. The relationship follows tD = 618937 × CCT_EXT + 50µs. Use X7R or C0G dielectrics for stability across temperature.
Can the TPS3840DL30DBVR monitor a 9V battery directly without external resistors?
Yes. The TPS3840DL30DBVR supports 1.5V–10V VDD operation, so a 9V alkaline or lithium battery can connect directly to VDD (Pin 2) for supervision. Its 3.0V threshold ensures reliable reset assertion before brownout affects connected 3.3V microcontrollers, eliminating need for voltage dividers and their associated current drain.
What is the function of the MR pin on the TPS3840DL30DBVR, and how should it be used?
The MR pin (Pin 4) is an active-low manual reset input. Pulling it below 600mV (VMR_L) forces RESET assertion regardless of VDD level. It features 100kΩ internal pull-up, so leaving it unconnected defaults to inactive. For MCU-driven reset, drive MR from a GPIO with ≥300ns pulse width-no external pull-down needed.
Is the TPS3840DL30DBVR compatible with 1.8V logic systems?
Yes-the open-drain RESET output can be pulled up to any voltage ≤10V, including 1.8V. When VDD = 3.0V or higher, the RESET pin sinks ≤2mA while holding VOL ≤200mV, meeting 1.8V logic LOW requirements. MR input accepts 0–12V, making it interoperable with 1.8V, 3.3V, and 5V controllers without level shifters.
