Product details
Overview
TPS3851H30EQDRBRQ1 from Texas Instruments is a high-accuracy AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive voltage supervisor with integrated programmable watchdog timer, featuring 0.8% undervoltage threshold accuracy (–40°C to +125°C), 200 ms ±15% reset timeout, 10 µA typical supply current, and dual open-drain outputs (RESET/WDO) for microcontroller supervision in ADAS domain controllers.
For engineers reviewing the TPS3851H30EQDRBRQ1 datasheet, TPS3851H30EQDRBRQ1 pinout, TPS3851H30EQDRBRQ1 application, or TPS3851H30EQDRBRQ1 equivalent, this device supports precision rail monitoring (1.8V–5.0V), factory-programmed or capacitor-adjustable watchdog timing, manual reset input, and watchdog disable via SET1 - critical for functional safety–compliant automotive power sequencing and fault diagnostics.
Technical Context
The TPS3851H30EQDRBRQ1 implements a precision bandgap-based comparator with 0.5% hysteresis for stable undervoltage detection and a state-machine-driven watchdog timer with dual timing modes (standard/extended). Its RESET output asserts when VDD falls below VITN and holds low for tRST = 200 ms after VDD recovers above VITN + VHYST.
Watchdog operation is configurable via CWD (capacitor or 10 kΩ pullup) and SET1 (enable/disable), with WDI edge-triggered input and independent WDO output that asserts only when RESET is high - enabling fault isolation without full system reset.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDD Range | 1.6 V to 6.5 V - supports direct connection to common automotive rails including 3.3 V and 5.0 V systems without external regulation. |
| VITN Accuracy | ±0.8% over –40°C to +125°C - ensures reliable reset assertion before microcontroller VDD minimum tolerance is violated. |
| tRST | 200 ms ±15% - fixed, high-precision reset delay enables deterministic boot timing in safety-critical ECUs. |
| IDD | 10 µA typical - ultra-low quiescent current extends battery life in always-on automotive modules. |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1600 ms typical (CWD NC, SET1 = 1) - factory-programmed standard timing provides jitter-free fault detection without external components. |
| Hysteresis | 0.5% - prevents chatter during slow-rising/falling supply transitions in noisy vehicle electrical environments. |
| ESD Rating | HBM ±4 kV, CDM ±1 kV - meets AEC-Q100 stress requirements for under-hood and cabin electronics. |
Pinout & Package
TPS3851H30EQDRBRQ1 uses a 3.00 mm × 3.00 mm, 8-pin VSON package with wettable flanks for automated optical inspection. Thermal pad is internally connected to GND and must be soldered to a large-area ground plane.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | Supply input | Primary power rail input; requires 0.1 µF bypass capacitor near pin for noise immunity in automotive transients. |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all internal circuitry and thermal pad; must be low-impedance connection to PCB ground plane. |
| MR | Manual reset input | Active-low logic input with internal 620 nA pullup; initiates RESET assertion independently of VDD condition. |
| SET1 | Watchdog enable/disable control | Logic input: grounded → watchdog disabled; >0.8×VDD → watchdog enabled; allows safe development mode operation. |
| CWD | Watchdog timing configuration | Capacitor input (0.1–1000 nF) or 10 kΩ pullup to VDD selects user-programmable or factory-set timeout values. |
| WDI | Watchdog trigger input | Falling-edge sensitive; must be pulsed before tWD(min) to prevent WDO assertion; ignored when RESET is low. |
| WDO | Watchdog output | Open-drain fault flag; asserts low only when RESET is high - enables diagnostic logging without system reset. |
| RESET | Supervisor reset output | Open-drain primary reset signal; drives microcontroller /SoC reset pin; requires external 1–100 kΩ pullup to correct VPU rail. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for –40°C to +125°C ambient operation, meeting automotive ECU reliability and lifetime requirements. |
| Functional Safety-Capable documentation | TI provides FIT rate data, failure mode analysis, and safety manual to support ISO 26262 ASIL-B system integration. |
| Precision undervoltage monitoring | Supports 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.0 V, 3.3 V, and 5.0 V rails with 0.8% VITN accuracy and 0.5% hysteresis - eliminates need for external trimming. |
| Dual independent outputs | Separate RESET and WDO pins allow independent handling of power-fail recovery and software-execution faults. |
| Watchdog disable via SET1 | Hardware-controlled watchdog disable enables safe firmware development and debug without risk of spurious timeouts. |
Applications
| Surround View System ECU | ADAS Domain Controller |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor with watchdog applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3851G33EQDRBRQ1 | Fixed 3.3 V undervoltage threshold (VITN = 3.3 V); same 0.8% accuracy, 200 ms tRST, and watchdog architecture. | Optimized for single-rail 3.3 V systems; lacks multi-threshold flexibility of TPS3851H30EQDRBRQ1's 3.0 V option. | Select when supervising only 3.3 V rails and board space permits identical footprint. |
| MAX6373KA29+T | 2.93 V fixed threshold, ±1.5% accuracy, no programmable watchdog; 12 µA IDD, SOIC-8 package. | Lower accuracy and no WDO output limits use in ASIL-B systems; suitable for non-safety-critical body electronics. | Choose for cost-sensitive, non-functional-safety applications where 3.0 V rail supervision is not required. |
Compared with TPS3851H30EQDRBRQ1, the TPS3851G33EQDRBRQ1 offers identical performance at 3.3 V but no 3.0 V option, while the MAX6373KA29+T lacks watchdog programmability and functional safety support - making TPS3851H30EQDRBRQ1 the only choice for ASIL-B-compliant 3.0 V rail supervision with diagnostic WDO capability.

FAQ
What is the undervoltage threshold voltage for TPS3851H30EQDRBRQ1?
The TPS3851H30EQDRBRQ1 has a nominal undervoltage threshold (VITN) of 3.0 V, with ±0.8% accuracy over –40°C to +125°C. This means the actual trip point remains within 29.76 mV of 3.0 V across its full operating temperature range, ensuring robust reset behavior for 3.0 V rails in automotive environments.
Does TPS3851H30EQDRBRQ1 support both 3.0 V and 3.3 V rail supervision?
No - TPS3851H30EQDRBRQ1 is factory-configured for 3.0 V undervoltage supervision only. The 'H30' in the part number denotes the 3.0 V threshold variant. For 3.3 V supervision, the TPS3851G33EQDRBRQ1 is the functionally identical counterpart with 3.3 V VITN.
How is the watchdog timeout configured on TPS3851H30EQDRBRQ1?
The TPS3851H30EQDRBRQ1 watchdog timeout is configured using the CWD pin: leaving it unconnected or pulling it up to VDD via 10 kΩ selects the factory-programmed 1600 ms (typical) standard timing; connecting a capacitor (0.1–1000 nF) to GND enables user-adjustable timing per TI's equations.
Can TPS3851H30EQDRBRQ1 be used in non-automotive applications?
Yes - while AEC-Q100 qualified and optimized for automotive, the TPS3851H30EQDRBRQ1's 1.6–6.5 V operation, 10 µA supply current, and precision supervision make it suitable for industrial and medical systems requiring high-reliability power monitoring, provided functional safety documentation is not required.
What is the purpose of the SET1 pin on TPS3851H30EQDRBRQ1?
The SET1 pin on TPS3851H30EQDRBRQ1 controls watchdog enable/disable: grounding SET1 disables the watchdog timer and ignores WDI input, allowing safe firmware development; pulling SET1 high enables normal watchdog operation with 150 µs setup time before WDI becomes active.
