Product details
Overview
TPS3840PH45DBVR from Texas Instruments is a nano-power, high-input-voltage supervisor IC with push-pull active-high reset output, 4.5 V fixed threshold (±1.5% max), 300 nA typical supply current, and user-programmable reset delay up to 6.2 s via external capacitor on CT pin - used for reliable power-on-reset and brownout detection in battery-powered industrial sensors.
For engineers reviewing the TPS3840PH45DBVR datasheet, TPS3840PH45DBVR pinout, TPS3840PH45DBVR application, or TPS3840PH45DBVR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.5–10 V operating range, 220 µs startup delay, built-in hysteresis (200 mV typ. for 4.5 V threshold), –40°C to +125°C operation, and SOT-23-5 (DBV) package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The TPS3840PH45DBVR implements a precision bandgap-referenced comparator with internal hysteresis to monitor VDD against a factory-trimmed 4.5 V negative-going threshold (VIT−). Its active-high push-pull RESET output eliminates need for external pull-up resistors and supports direct interface with microcontroller reset inputs requiring high-true assertion.
Reset timing is governed by two independent delays: a fixed 220 µs (typ.) startup delay (tSTRT) after VDD exceeds VIT+, and a programmable reset hold time (tD) set by an external capacitor on the CT pin - enabling precise control over system initialization sequencing without firmware intervention.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.5 V to 10 V - enables direct monitoring of 3.3 V, 5 V, and 9 V rails without external divider resistors. |
| Threshold Voltage (VIT−) | 4.5 V ±1.5% (max) - factory-trimmed accuracy ensures consistent brownout detection across temperature and voltage. |
| Quiescent Current (IDD) | 300 nA (typ.), 700 nA (max) - extends battery life in always-on IoT sensors and portable meters. |
| Startup Delay (tSTRT) | 220 µs (typ.), 350 µs (max) - guarantees reset assertion before main system logic powers up during cold start. |
| Reset Time Delay (tD) | 50 µs (no cap) to 6.2 s (10 µF) - configurable via CT-to-GND capacitor for flexible system boot timing. |
| Hysteresis (VHYS) | 200 mV (typ.) - prevents oscillatory reset toggling during slow-rising or noisy supply transitions near threshold. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for harsh environments including smart metering, PLC I/O modules, and HVAC controls. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 (DBV) package: 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm footprint, surface-mount, 5-pin plastic case with exposed pad not present.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: RESET | Active-high push-pull output | Drives logic-high during fault; sinks current when deasserted; no external pull-up required. |
| 2: VDD | Power input & monitored rail | Supplies internal circuitry and serves as the voltage being supervised; accepts 1.5–10 V directly. |
| 3: GND | Ground reference | Common return path for VDD, MR, CT, and RESET; must be low-impedance for noise immunity. |
| 4: MR | Manual reset input | Logic-low pulse ≥300 ns asserts RESET; floating or >0.7×VDD releases RESET after tD expires. |
| 5: CT | Capacitor time-delay programming | Connects to GND via external capacitor (0–10 µF) to set reset hold time; left open for 50 µs minimum delay. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Nano-power operation | 300 nA typical supply current enables >10-year battery life in coin-cell–powered smoke detectors. |
| Programmable reset delay | 50 µs to 6.2 s via single external capacitor - replaces firmware-based timing and simplifies BOM. |
| Push-pull active-high RESET | Eliminates external pull-up resistor and reduces board area vs. open-drain alternatives like TPS3840DL45DBVR. |
| Built-in glitch immunity | Rejects VDD transients <10 µs at 5% overdrive - prevents false resets in electrically noisy factory automation settings. |
| Factory-trimmed 4.5 V threshold | ±1.5% max accuracy over –40°C to +125°C - removes need for calibration in grid infrastructure monitoring equipment. |

FAQ
What is the exact threshold voltage and accuracy of the TPS3840PH45DBVR?
The TPS3840PH45DBVR has a factory-set negative-going input threshold (VIT−) of 4.5 V with ±1.5% maximum deviation over –40°C to +125°C and 1.5 V to 10 V supply range. Typical accuracy is ±1%, verified across production lots and documented in Section 6.5 of the official TI datasheet SNVSB03E.
Does the TPS3840PH45DBVR require an external pull-up resistor on the RESET pin?
No, the TPS3840PH45DBVR features a push-pull active-high RESET output that actively drives high and sinks current when low - eliminating the need for an external pull-up resistor. This reduces BOM cost and improves timing predictability compared to open-drain variants like TPS3840DL45DBVR.
How is the reset time delay programmed on the TPS3840PH45DBVR?
The reset time delay (tD) of the TPS3840PH45DBVR is set by connecting an external capacitor between the CT pin (Pin 5) and GND. With no capacitor, tD = 50 µs (min); with 10 µF, tD ≈ 6.2 s (max). The relationship follows tD = 618937 × CCT_EXT + 50 µs, where CCT_EXT is in farads - per Equation 4 in TI's datasheet SNVSB03E.
What is the startup delay behavior of the TPS3840PH45DBVR during power-up?
The TPS3840PH45DBVR asserts RESET immediately if VDD starts below VPOR (950 mV), then holds RESET asserted for a fixed 220 µs (typical) startup delay (tSTRT) after VDD rises above VIT+ (4.7 V, given 200 mV hysteresis). This ensures deterministic release timing before downstream logic begins operation.
Can the TPS3840PH45DBVR monitor a 24 V supply directly?
No - the TPS3840PH45DBVR absolute maximum VDD rating is 12 V, and recommended operating range is 1.5 V to 10 V. To supervise a 24 V rail, use an external resistor divider to scale the voltage down to ≤10 V at the VDD pin, ensuring the divided signal maintains sufficient noise margin and meets the 300 nA input current requirement.
