Product details
Overview
TPS389015QDSERQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive-grade voltage supervisor IC that monitors 1.5 V system rails with ±1% threshold accuracy (VITN = 1.44 V, VITP = 1.449 V), asserts open-drain RESET on undervoltage or manual reset, and supports user-programmable delay from 25 µs to 30 s via external CT capacitor - used in infotainment head units and ADAS camera power sequencing.
For engineers reviewing the TPS389015QDSERQ1 datasheet, TPS389015QDSERQ1 pinout, TPS389015QDSERQ1 application, or TPS389015QDSERQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.1 µA quiescent current, –40°C to +125°C operating range, WSON-6 package, 1.5-mm × 1.5-mm footprint, and precision hysteresis for noise-immune rail monitoring in battery-sensitive automotive systems.
Technical Context
The TPS389015QDSERQ1 implements a precision bandgap reference and comparator architecture to achieve 1% fixed-threshold accuracy across temperature, with built-in hysteresis (0.325–0.825%) ensuring clean RESET assertion/deassertion during rail transitions. Its CT pin uses a 1.15 µA internal current source to charge an external capacitor, enabling precise delay timing independent of supply voltage.
It operates over 1.5 V to 5.5 V VDD, accepts SENSE inputs up to 5.5 V regardless of VDD, and features glitch immunity (≥9 µs at 5% overdrive) plus MR input compatibility with logic levels down to 0.25×VDD. RESET remains asserted until both SENSE > VITP and MR = high, then holds low for the full programmable delay before going high-impedance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Threshold Voltage | VITN = 1.44 V, VITP = 1.449 V - factory-trimmed fixed thresholds for reliable 1.5 V rail monitoring with ±1% max error. |
| Quiescent Current | 2.1 µA typical - enables always-on supervision in low-power automotive modules without draining battery. |
| Reset Delay Range | 25 µs to 30 s - set by external CT capacitor (0–26 µF), supporting microcontroller startup timing from fast logic to complex SoC boot sequences. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C junction - qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 for under-hood and cockpit electronics. |
| Package | WSON-6 (1.5 mm × 1.5 mm) - space-constrained PCB layout compatible with automated assembly and thermal performance (RθJA = 321.3°C/W). |
| Output Type | Open-drain RESET - allows level-shifting pull-up to any rail ≤5.5 V, enabling interface with diverse logic families and voltage domains. |
| Hysteresis | 0.325% to 0.825% - prevents chatter during slow-rising/falling rails and improves noise margin in electrically noisy vehicle environments. |
Pinout & Package
TPS389015QDSERQ1 is housed in a 1.5-mm × 1.5-mm, 6-pin WSON (DSE) package with wettable flanks for automated optical inspection. Thermal resistance is RθJA = 321.3°C/W, suitable for compact automotive PCBs with limited copper area.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: SENSE | Monitoring input | Connects directly to 1.5 V rail; asserts RESET when voltage falls below 1.44 V; accepts 0–5.5 V input regardless of VDD. |
| 2: GND | Ground reference | Analog and digital ground return; must be low-impedance path to minimize noise coupling into threshold detection. |
| 3: MR | Manual reset input | Active-low control: driving MR low forces immediate RESET assertion, enabling system-level reset coordination. |
| 4: VDD | Supply input | 1.5–5.5 V power source; requires 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling capacitor placed adjacent to pin per best practice. |
| 5: CT | Delay timing terminal | Connects to ground-referenced capacitor; 1.15 µA internal current charges it to 1.23 V threshold to define RESET deassertion delay. |
| 6: RESET | Open-drain output | Drives low during fault; high-impedance otherwise - requires external pull-up (10 kΩ–1 MΩ) to appropriate logic rail. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for –40°C to +125°C ambient operation, HBM ±2 kV and CDM ±750 V ESD robustness - meets automotive functional safety readiness requirements. |
| 1% threshold accuracy | Guaranteed over full temperature and supply range - eliminates need for external calibration in production systems monitoring 1.5 V cores. |
| User-adjustable reset delay | 25 µs to 30 s via single external capacitor - replaces multiple fixed-delay supervisors and simplifies BOM across platforms. |
| Precision hysteresis | 0.325–0.825% - ensures monotonic RESET behavior during rail ramp-up/down and rejects sub-millisecond transients. |
| Low-glitch-sensitivity SENSE input | ≥9 µs immunity at 5% overdrive - maintains stable supervision in high-noise domains like motor drivers and RF modules. |
Applications
| Infotainment Head Unit | ADAS Camera Module |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS389012QDSERQ1 | Fixed 1.2 V threshold (VITN = 1.15 V); identical package, quiescent current, and delay range. | Used where 1.2 V core rail supervision is required instead of 1.5 V; not interchangeable without PCB redesign. | Select only when supervising 1.2 V rails - pinout and timing match, but threshold mismatch invalidates direct substitution. |
| TLV809E15DBVR | Fixed 1.5 V threshold, no programmable delay (200 ms typ), higher IQ = 450 nA, SOT-23-3 package. | Suitable for cost-sensitive, space-tolerant designs needing basic reset without timing flexibility. | Choose when delay tuning is unnecessary and board area permits larger SOT-23; lacks AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification. |
Compared with TPS389015QDSERQ1, TPS389012QDSERQ1 offers identical automotive qualification and programmability but targets 1.2 V rails, while TLV809E15DBVR trades delay flexibility and AEC-Q100 compliance for lower cost and smaller footprint in non-safety-critical applications.

FAQ
What is the exact threshold voltage specification for TPS389015QDSERQ1?
The TPS389015QDSERQ1 has a factory-set negative threshold voltage (VITN) of 1.44 V and positive threshold voltage (VITP) of 1.449 V, with guaranteed ±1% accuracy over –40°C to +125°C junction temperature. These values are trimmed during production and documented in the Electrical Characteristics table of the SBVS303B datasheet.
Does TPS389015QDSERQ1 support programmable reset delay, and how is it configured?
Yes, TPS389015QDSERQ1 supports user-programmable reset delay from 25 µs to 30 s via an external capacitor connected between the CT pin and GND. The delay is calculated as tPD(r) = CCT × 1.07 + 25 µs (nominal), using a 1.15 µA internal charging current and 1.23 V comparator threshold on the CT pin.
What package type and dimensions does TPS389015QDSERQ1 use?
TPS389015QDSERQ1 uses the DSE package: a 6-pin WSON with nominal body size of 1.5 mm × 1.5 mm and 0.5 mm pitch. It features wettable flanks for solder joint inspection and has thermal resistance RθJA = 321.3°C/W, as specified in the Thermal Information section of the datasheet.
Is TPS389015QDSERQ1 qualified for automotive applications, and what standards does it meet?
Yes, TPS389015QDSERQ1 is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications, achieving Grade 1 temperature rating (–40°C to +125°C ambient), HBM ESD Class 2 (±2 kV), and CDM ESD Class C4B (±750 V). These qualifications are explicitly stated in the Features section of the SBVS303B datasheet.
Can TPS389015QDSERQ1 monitor supply voltages other than 1.5 V?
No - TPS389015QDSERQ1 is a fixed-threshold device calibrated exclusively for 1.5 V rail supervision (VITN = 1.44 V). To monitor other rails, select alternate members of the family such as TPS389012QDSERQ1 (1.2 V) or TPS389018QDSERQ1 (1.8 V); the adjustable variant TPS389001QDSERQ1 supports custom thresholds via external resistor divider.
