Product details
Overview
TPS3850G33QDRCRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive-grade precision voltage supervisor with integrated programmable window watchdog timer. It monitors supply rails from 0.9 V to 5.0 V with ±0.8% threshold accuracy over –40°C to +125°C, delivers 10 µA typical supply current, and features open-drain RESET and WDO outputs - used in digital cockpit processing units for reliable microcontroller reset and fault detection.
For engineers reviewing the TPS3850G33QDRCRQ1 datasheet, TPS3850G33QDRCRQ1 pinout, TPS3850G33QDRCRQ1 application, or TPS3850G33QDRCRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 0.5% hysteresis, factory-programmed ±9.5% reset delay accuracy, user-configurable watchdog window ratios (1/8, 1/2, 3/4), and support for capacitor-programmable timeout ranges from 703 µs to 3.22 s.
Technical Context
The TPS3850G33QDRCRQ1 implements a dual-comparator window architecture on the SENSE pin with independent overvoltage (VIT+(OV)) and undervoltage (VIT–(UV)) thresholds, both trimmed to ±0.8% accuracy across temperature. Its internal precision clock drives state-machine-controlled timing for both RESET and watchdog functions.
Watchdog operation uses a configurable window timer where upper (tWDU) and lower (tWDL) boundaries are set via CWD capacitor value and SET0/SET1 logic states - enabling detection of early, late, or missing WDI transitions. RESET assertion is synchronized to SENSE rail entry into/out of the valid window, with tRST delay determined by CRST pin configuration (NC, resistor, or capacitor).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.6 V to 6.5 V - supports wide-input automotive power domains including 3.3 V and 5 V rails. |
| Voltage Threshold Accuracy | ±0.8% max over –40°C to +125°C - ensures reliable reset assertion before MCU SoC supply tolerance limits are violated. |
| Supply Current (IDD) | 10 µA typical - enables low-power always-on monitoring in battery-backed systems. |
| Reset Delay Accuracy | ±9.5% for factory-programmed mode - guarantees deterministic startup sequencing without external timing components. |
| Watchdog Window Ratios | 1/8, 1/2, 3/4 - selectable via SET0/SET1 pins to match software execution timing margins. |
| Hysteresis | 0.5% - suppresses false resets caused by rail noise or slow ramping during power-up/down. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C ambient - qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 for under-hood and infotainment applications. |
Pinout & Package
TPS3850G33QDRCRQ1 is housed in a wettable-flank 3.00-mm × 3.00-mm, 10-pin VSON (DRC) package optimized for automated optical inspection and thermal performance (RθJB = 22.3°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | Power supply input | Accepts 1.6–6.5 V; requires 0.1-µF bypass capacitor for noise immunity. |
| GND | Ground reference | Connected internally to exposed thermal pad; must be tied to large-area ground plane. |
| SENSE | Monitored rail input | High-impedance input supporting 0–6.5 V; senses 0.9–5.0 V rails with ±0.8% accuracy. |
| RESET | Open-drain reset output | Asserts low when SENSE exits window; delay (tRST) set by CRST pin configuration. |
| WDO | Open-drain watchdog output | Asserts low only when RESET is high and WDI misses window; enables fault classification. |
| WDI | Watchdog input | Edge-triggered; falling edge must occur between tWDL and tWDU to prevent WDO assertion. |
| CWD | Watchdog timing control | Capacitor-to-GND sets tWDU/tWDL; pullup or NC selects factory presets (e.g., 1.85 ms / 27.5 ms). |
| CRST | Reset timing control | Capacitor-to-GND sets tRST from 703 µs to 3.22 s; NC or 10-kΩ pullup selects factory defaults (10 ms or 200 ms). |
| SET0 / SET1 | Watchdog mode select | Logic inputs selecting window ratio (1/8, 1/2, 3/4) or disabling watchdog; require ≥500 µs setup after change. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Functional Safety Documentation Support | Available FIT data, FMEA reports, and safety analysis guidance for ISO 26262 ASIL-B system integration. |
| Programmable Window Watchdog | Configurable tWDL/tWDU boundaries enable precise detection of software hang, premature, or delayed WDI toggles. |
| Factory-Trimmed Precision Timing | ±9.5% tRST and ±10% watchdog timing accuracy eliminate need for calibration in production test. |
| 0.5% Hysteresis on Both Thresholds | Prevents chatter during slow-ramping supplies and improves noise margin in EMI-prone automotive environments. |
| Wettable Flank VSON Package | Enables 100% automated optical inspection (AOI) of solder joints - critical for zero-defect automotive manufacturing. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervision and watchdog applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3851G33QDRCRQ1 | Includes separate VDD and SENSE supply pins; supports independent 1.6–6.5 V monitoring with no VDD dependency on monitored rail. | Better suited for systems where monitored rail may power down while VDD remains active (e.g., always-on CAN wake-up circuits). | Select TPS3851G33QDRCRQ1 when SENSE rail independence from VDD is required; otherwise TPS3850G33QDRCRQ1 offers lower cost and identical timing accuracy. |
| MAX6373KA29+T | Fixed 2.93 V threshold, no programmable watchdog; ±1.5% accuracy over –40°C to +125°C; 20 µA IDD. | Limited to single-rail monitoring with basic reset-only function; lacks window watchdog and hysteresis adjustability. | Choose MAX6373KA29+T only for cost-sensitive, non-safety-critical applications requiring minimal functionality and no software interaction. |
Compared with TPS3850G33QDRCRQ1, TPS3851G33QDRCRQ1 adds supply rail isolation but increases BOM count, while MAX6373KA29+T sacrifices programmability and accuracy for simplicity - making TPS3850G33QDRCRQ1 optimal for ASIL-B systems needing configurable timing and tight threshold control.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the TPS3850G33QDRCRQ1?
The TPS3850G33QDRCRQ1 is qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 with an ambient operating temperature range of –40°C to +125°C. This rating applies to the full specification set including ±0.8% voltage threshold accuracy, 10 µA typical supply current, and all timing parameters - verified across the entire range with no derating required.
How does the TPS3850G33QDRCRQ1 implement window watchdog functionality?
The TPS3850G33QDRCRQ1 implements window watchdog functionality using two independently programmable time boundaries: tWDL (lower) and tWDU (upper). A falling edge on WDI must occur between them to prevent WDO assertion. Boundaries are set via CWD capacitor value and SET0/SET1 logic states, supporting ratios of 1/8, 1/2, or 3/4 - enabling detection of early, late, or missing watchdog refreshes.
Can the TPS3850G33QDRCRQ1 monitor voltages below 0.9 V?
No, the TPS3850G33QDRCRQ1 is specified for precision monitoring of rails from 0.9 V to 5.0 V. Its internal reference and comparator architecture are trimmed for this range; attempting to monitor sub-0.9 V rails results in degraded accuracy and undefined behavior. For lower-voltage supervision, TI recommends the TPS3850H01Q1 variant with external resistor divider support.
What is the purpose of the wettable flanks on the TPS3850G33QDRCRQ1 VSON package?
The wettable flanks on the TPS3850G33QDRCRQ1's 3-mm × 3-mm VSON package expose solderable metal along the vertical side walls of the package body. This enables automated optical inspection (AOI) systems to verify solder joint quality and coplanarity - a critical requirement for zero-defect automotive manufacturing and IPC-A-610 Class 3 compliance.
Does the TPS3850G33QDRCRQ1 support watchdog disable during firmware updates?
Yes, the TPS3850G33QDRCRQ1 supports watchdog disable via logic states on SET0 and SET1 pins. When SET0 = 1 and SET1 = 0, the watchdog is disabled and WDI is ignored - allowing safe firmware updates without risk of spurious WDO assertion. During disable, RESET functionality remains fully operational for voltage supervision.
