Product details
Overview
TPS3851H30SQDRBRQ1 from Texas Instruments is a high-accuracy AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive voltage supervisor with integrated programmable watchdog timer, 0.8% undervoltage threshold accuracy (–40°C to +125°C), 200 ms reset timeout (±15%), and open-drain RESET/WDO outputs - used for fault monitoring and safe startup in ADAS domain controllers and front camera power rails.
For engineers reviewing the TPS3851H30SQDRBRQ1 datasheet, TPS3851H30SQDRBRQ1 pinout, TPS3851H30SQDRBRQ1 application, or TPS3851H30SQDRBRQ1 equivalent, this page delivers verified functional safety-capable specifications, factory-programmed watchdog timing options, precision hysteresis (0.5%), and VSON-8 wettable flank package details required for automotive ECU design validation and BOM selection.
Technical Context
The TPS3851H30SQDRBRQ1 implements a precision bandgap reference and comparator architecture achieving ±0.8% VITN accuracy across –40°C to +125°C ambient, with 0.5% hysteresis to prevent chatter near threshold. Its dual-output supervision includes independent RESET (with 200 ms fixed delay) and WDO (asserted on watchdog timeout only when RESET is deasserted).
Watchdog timing is selectable via CWD pin configuration: unconnected or 10 kΩ pullup enables factory-programmed 1.6 s (standard) or 200 ms (extended) timeouts; capacitor connection enables user-adjustable timing. SET1 pin disables watchdog logic entirely, and MR supports manual reset initiation with internal 620 nA pullup.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDD Range | 1.6 V to 6.5 V - supports direct monitoring of 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5.0 V rails without external dividers. |
| VITN Accuracy | ±0.8% (–40°C to +125°C) - ensures reliable reset assertion before microcontroller VDD minimum tolerance is violated. |
| tRST | 200 ms ±15% - fixed, high-precision reset timeout eliminates need for external RC timing components. |
| IDD | 10 µA typical - enables always-on supervision in low-power automotive modules without battery drain concerns. |
| Hysteresis | 0.5% - provides noise immunity in electrically noisy vehicle environments while maintaining tight voltage margin control. |
| Watchdog Timeout Options | Factory-programmed: 1.6 s (standard) or 200 ms (extended); user-programmable via CWD capacitor - supports both fast-fault detection and long-cycle system health checks. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade | Grade 1 (–40°C to +125°C TA) - qualified for under-hood and ADAS ECU deployment with HBM ±4 kV / CDM ±1 kV ESD robustness. |
Pinout & Package
TPS3851H30SQDRBRQ1 uses a 3.00 mm × 3.00 mm, 8-pin VSON package (DRB) 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 | Monitored rail input; requires 0.1 µF bypass capacitor for noise rejection in automotive transients. |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all internal circuitry and thermal pad connection point. |
| RESET | Open-drain reset output | Asserts low when VDD < VITN or MR is pulled low; remains low for tRST after recovery; requires external pullup (1–100 kΩ). |
| WDO | Open-drain watchdog output | Asserts low only when watchdog times out *and* RESET is high; goes high-Z when RESET is low - enables fault isolation without full system reset. |
| MR | Manual reset input | Active-low input with internal 620 nA pullup; initiates reset independently of VDD status; pulse width ≥1 µs required. |
| WDI | Watchdog input | Falling-edge-triggered; must be driven to VDD or GND at all times to avoid IDD increase; ignored when RESET is asserted. |
| CWD | Watchdog timeout select | Determines timing mode: unconnected/10 kΩ pullup → factory presets; capacitor to GND → user-adjustable (0.1–1000 nF). |
| SET1 | Watchdog enable/disable | Logic low disables watchdog entirely; WDI is ignored; WDO remains high-Z; dynamic switching supported with 150 µs setup time. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Functional Safety-Capable documentation | TI provides FIT rate data, failure mode analysis, and safety manual to support ISO 26262 ASIL-B system integration. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3851G33SQDRBRQ1 | Fixed 3.3 V undervoltage threshold (VITN = 3.3 V); same 0.8% accuracy, 200 ms tRST, and VSON-8 package. | Designed for dedicated 3.3 V rail monitoring; lacks multi-threshold flexibility of TPS3851H30SQDRBRQ1's 3.0 V option. | Select when system uses only 3.3 V supply and threshold customization is unnecessary - reduces qualification overhead. |
| MAX6373KA29+T | Fixed 2.93 V threshold, ±1.5% accuracy, no programmable watchdog; SOT23-6 package; 15 µA IDD. | Lacks independent WDO output and factory-programmed watchdog modes - limited to basic reset-only supervision. | Choose for cost-sensitive non-safety-critical modules where watchdog functionality is omitted and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 is not required. |
Compared with TPS3851H30SQDRBRQ1, the TPS3851G33SQDRBRQ1 offers identical timing and accuracy but fixed 3.3 V threshold, while MAX6373KA29+T sacrifices watchdog capability, precision, and automotive qualification for smaller footprint and lower unit cost.

FAQ
What is the undervoltage threshold voltage for TPS3851H30SQDRBRQ1?
The TPS3851H30SQDRBRQ1 has a nominal undervoltage threshold (VITN) of 3.0 V, supporting precision monitoring of 3.0 V rails with ±0.8% accuracy over –40°C to +125°C. This value is factory-programmed and confirmed in TI's SBVS286B datasheet Section 5.5, where VITN is specified as 3.0 V with tolerance bounds derived from the 0.8% error band.
Does TPS3851H30SQDRBRQ1 support both standard and extended watchdog timing modes?
Yes, TPS3851H30SQDRBRQ1 supports both modes: standard timing (1.6 s typical watchdog timeout) and extended timing (200 ms typical), selected via CWD pin configuration. When CWD is unconnected or pulled up with 10 kΩ to VDD and SET1 = 1, the device uses factory-programmed values - explicitly documented in Table 7-1 of the datasheet for the H30 variant.
Can TPS3851H30SQDRBRQ1 be used without an external watchdog capacitor?
Yes, TPS3851H30SQDRBRQ1 operates without an external capacitor when CWD is left unconnected or pulled up to VDD via 10 kΩ - enabling factory-programmed watchdog timeouts. The device evaluates CWD state within 381 µs after VDD enters the valid range (VITN + VHYST), as defined in Section 5.6 and Figure 7-1 of the official datasheet.
What is the function of the SET1 pin on TPS3851H30SQDRBRQ1?
The SET1 pin on TPS3851H30SQDRBRQ1 controls watchdog enable/disable: grounding SET1 disables the watchdog timer entirely, causing WDI to be ignored and WDO to remain high-Z. This feature is validated in Section 6.3.4.4 and Table 6-1 of the datasheet, and supports safe development mode without hardware changes.
Is TPS3851H30SQDRBRQ1 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, TPS3851H30SQDRBRQ1 is AEC-Q100 qualified Grade 1 (–40°C to +125°C ambient), with HBM ±4 kV and CDM ±1 kV ESD ratings. It also carries functional safety documentation for ISO 26262 system integration, as stated in Section 1 Features and Section 8 Device Support of the official TI datasheet SBVS286B.
