Product details
Overview
TPS386596L33DGKT from Texas Instruments is a quad-channel voltage supervisor IC that monitors four independent power rails-SENSE1 (fixed 2.90 V threshold for 3.3-V systems), and SENSE2–SENSE4 (adjustable down to 0.4 V via external resistor dividers)-and asserts an open-drain active-low RESET signal when any rail falls below its threshold. It features 0.25% typical threshold accuracy, 50-ms fixed reset delay, 7 µA typical quiescent current, and operates from 1.8 V to 6.5 V supply. It is used in FPGA, DSP, and multi-rail embedded systems requiring reliable power-on and brownout reset sequencing.
For engineers reviewing the TPS386596L33DGKT datasheet, TPS386596L33DGKT pinout, TPS386596L33DGKT application, or TPS386596L33DGKT equivalent, key selection considerations include its quad-supply monitoring capability, fixed vs. adjustable thresholds per channel, 50-ms reset timing consistency across temperature, low-quiescent-current operation for battery-sensitive designs, and compatibility with 1.8–6.5 V VDD domains.
Technical Context
The TPS386596L33DGKT implements four independent undervoltage comparators with built-in hysteresis (25–72 mV on SENSE1; 3.5–10 mV on SENSE2–4) and a logic-controlled reset state machine. Its RESET output deasserts only after all monitored rails exceed their respective thresholds *and* the MR input is high, followed by a precise 50-ms delay-guaranteed over –40°C to +125°C junction temperature.
Each SENSE input supports distinct voltage ranges: SENSE1 is factory-trimmed for 3.3-V nominal supplies (VIT1 = 2.90 V typ), while SENSE2–4 use internal 400-mV reference and external resistor dividers to set thresholds ≥0.4 V. The MR pin includes a 100-kΩ internal pullup and 50-ns deglitching, enabling robust manual reset initiation without external components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDD Range | 1.8 V to 6.5 V - supports wide-input systems including 3.3-V and 5-V domains without level-shifting. |
| SENSE1 Threshold | 2.90 V (typ), ±25 mV (max hysteresis) - precisely monitors 3.3-V rails without external resistors. |
| SENSE2–4 Threshold | 0.4 V minimum, set by external divider - enables monitoring of sub-1-V FPGA core rails (e.g., 1.2 V, 1.0 V, 0.85 V). |
| RESET Delay | 50 ms (typ), 30–70 ms (min/max) - ensures stable post-reset system initialization before processor release. |
| Quiescent Current | 7 µA (typ) at 3.3 V - enables long-term battery-backed operation in industrial and portable equipment. |
| Threshold Accuracy | ±0.25% (typ) - guarantees tight trip-point tolerance across temperature and supply variations. |
| MR Input Logic | Active-low, 0.3×VDD max VIH, internal 100-kΩ pullup - simplifies interface to GPIOs or pushbutton switches. |
Pinout & Package
TPS386596L33DGKT is housed in an 8-pin VSSOP (DGK) package measuring 5.00 mm × 3.00 mm, optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts in server, telecom, and FPGA carrier boards.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: SENSE4 | Adjustable voltage monitor input | Monitors fourth rail (≥0.4 V) using external resistor divider; asserts RESET if voltage drops below VIT4. |
| 2: SENSE3 | Adjustable voltage monitor input | Monitors third rail (≥0.4 V); identical electrical behavior to SENSE4 with independent comparator. |
| 3: SENSE2 | Adjustable voltage monitor input | Monitors second rail (≥0.4 V); supports same precision and hysteresis as SENSE3/4. |
| 4: SENSE1 | Fixed-threshold voltage monitor input | Dedicated 3.3-V rail monitor (VIT1 = 2.90 V typ); requires no external components. |
| 5: GND | Ground reference | Analog and digital ground return; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling into SENSE inputs. |
| 6: RESET | Open-drain active-low reset output | Drives low during fault or MR assertion; requires external pullup (≥10 kΩ) to VDD or target logic rail. |
| 7: MR | Active-low manual reset input | Asserts RESET immediately on logic low; includes 100-kΩ internal pullup and 50-ns deglitch filter. |
| 8: VDD | Supply voltage input | Power source (1.8–6.5 V); requires 0.1-µF ceramic decoupling capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quad independent voltage monitoring | Four separate comparators enable simultaneous supervision of CPU, FPGA core, I/O, and auxiliary rails without shared timing constraints. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad-voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6812HEUT+T | Triple supervisor (3 channels), fixed 3.08-V, 3.3-V, and 5.0-V thresholds; no adjustable inputs; 200-ms reset timeout. | Lacks fourth channel and adjustable thresholds-requires additional components to monitor sub-1-V rails or custom voltages. | Choose when only three standard rails require supervision and longer reset delay is acceptable. |
| ADM1266ACPZ | 12-channel sequencer/supervisor with I²C interface, programmable delays, and fault logging; 32-pin LFCSP package. | Requires firmware configuration and adds communication overhead; suited for complex, adaptive power management-not simple reset assertion. | Choose when dynamic reconfiguration, event logging, or >4 rail supervision is required; avoid for cost- and size-sensitive fixed-function designs. |
Compared with MAX6812HEUT+T and ADM1266ACPZ, the TPS386596L33DGKT delivers optimal balance of channel count, fixed-and-adjustable flexibility, minimal BOM, and deterministic 50-ms timing-making it ideal for FPGA, DSP, and industrial embedded systems where simplicity, reliability, and compact footprint are prioritized over programmability or extended channel count.

FAQ
What is the exact function of the SENSE1 pin on the TPS386596L33DGKT?
The SENSE1 pin on the TPS386596L33DGKT is a dedicated, factory-trimmed input with a fixed 2.90-V (typical) threshold designed exclusively to monitor 3.3-V nominal power supplies. It requires no external resistors and asserts the RESET signal when the applied voltage drops below this threshold. This pin is electrically isolated from SENSE2–SENSE4 and maintains ±0.25% typical accuracy across –40°C to +125°C.
Can the TPS386596L33DGKT monitor a 1.0-V rail, and how is the threshold set?
Yes, the TPS386596L33DGKT can monitor a 1.0-V rail using SENSE2, SENSE3, or SENSE4. Each of these pins references an internal 400-mV comparator threshold; a resistor divider (e.g., RSH = 15 kΩ, RSL = 10 kΩ) sets the monitored rail voltage as VMON(n) = (1 + RSH/RSL) × 0.4 V. For 1.0 V, this yields RSH/RSL = 1.5, achievable with standard 1% resistors-ensuring accurate, temperature-stable detection down to 0.4 V.
What is the role of the MR pin on the TPS386596L33DGKT, and does it require an external pullup?
The MR (Manual Reset) pin on the TPS386596L33DGKT is an active-low input that forces RESET assertion regardless of SENSE pin states. It includes a factory-integrated 100-kΩ pullup resistor to VDD and a 50-ns deglitch filter, eliminating the need for external pullup components. A logic-low pulse ≥50 ns on MR immediately triggers RESET, which remains asserted until MR returns high *and* all SENSE inputs exceed their thresholds, followed by the 50-ms delay.
How does the RESET output behave electrically on the TPS386596L33DGKT?
The RESET output on the TPS386596L33DGKT is an open-drain, active-low driver capable of sinking up to 1 mA while maintaining VOL ≤ 0.4 V (at VDD = 1.8–6.5 V). It requires an external pullup resistor (≥10 kΩ) to a valid logic rail (up to 6.5 V). When deasserted, RESET enters high-impedance state after the 50-ms delay; when asserted, it pulls low with <0.4-V drop at 1 mA sink current-compatible with 1.8-V, 3.3-V, and 5-V logic families.
Is the TPS386596L33DGKT suitable for automotive applications, and what is its operating temperature range?
The TPS386596L33DGKT is rated for operation from –40°C to +125°C junction temperature and meets JEDEC JESD22-A108 reliability standards, but it is not AEC-Q100 qualified. It is suitable for under-hood industrial or extended-temperature computing applications (e.g., base stations, PLCs), but not for safety-critical automotive ECUs unless validated per ISO 26262. Its 7-µA quiescent current and 0.25% threshold accuracy support demanding thermal environments where parametric stability is essential.
