Product details
Overview
TPS389018DSER from Texas Instruments is a precision voltage supervisor IC designed to monitor 1.8 V power rails in microcontroller and processor systems. It features 1% threshold accuracy (VITN = 1.73 V, VITP = 1.740 V), programmable reset delay (40 μs to 30 s via external CT capacitor), ultra-low quiescent current (2.1 μA typical), and open-drain RESET output. It is used in battery-powered Delfino™ microprocessor applications requiring reliable power-on reset and brownout detection.
For engineers reviewing the TPS389018DSER datasheet, TPS389018DSER pinout, TPS389018DSER application, or TPS389018DSER equivalent, key selection considerations include its fixed 1.8 V monitoring threshold, –40°C to +125°C operating range, WSON-6 package footprint, and compatibility with low-leakage ceramic timing capacitors for precise delay tuning.
Technical Context
The TPS389018DSER implements a precision bandgap-based voltage reference and comparator with built-in hysteresis (0.325–0.825%) to ensure stable RESET assertion/deassertion during rail transients. Its CT pin uses a 1.15 µA internal current source charging a user-supplied capacitor to generate a highly predictable delay time governed by tPD(r) = CCT × 1.07 + 25 µs.
It operates across 1.5 V to 5.5 V supply (VDD), monitors SENSE inputs up to 5.5 V independent of VDD, supports manual reset via MR input with 100 ns glitch immunity, and asserts an open-drain RESET signal that remains low for the full delay period after both SENSE > VITP and MR = high.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Threshold Voltage | VITN = 1.73 V, VITP = 1.740 V - precisely tracks 1.8 V rail with ±1% accuracy over –40°C to +125°C |
| Quiescent Current | 2.1 µA typical - enables multi-year battery life in always-on supervisory applications |
| Reset Delay Range | 40 µs to 30 s - set externally via CT capacitor; supports startup timing for C2000™ Delfino MCUs (≥1 ms required) |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for automotive and industrial embedded environments |
| Supply Voltage Range | VDD = 1.5 V to 5.5 V - allows use with diverse host system supplies while monitoring 1.8 V rail |
| SENSE Input Range | 0 V to 5.5 V - enables direct monitoring of 1.8 V rail without level-shifting or resistor divider |
| Output Type | Open-drain RESET - supports flexible pull-up to any voltage ≤5.5 V, including I/O domain rails |
Pinout & Package
TPS389018DSER is housed in a 1.5-mm × 1.5-mm, 6-pin WSON (DSE) package with wettable flanks, optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts and automated optical inspection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: SENSE | Monitor input | Direct connection to 1.8 V rail; asserts RESET when voltage falls below 1.73 V |
| 2: GND | Ground reference | System ground return for internal reference and comparator; must be low-impedance |
| 3: MR | Manual reset input | Active-low logic input; driving MR low forces immediate RESET assertion regardless of SENSE |
| 4: VDD | Power supply | Device bias supply (1.5–5.5 V); decoupling with 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor required |
| 5: CT | Delay timing control | Connects to external capacitor (e.g., 1.5 nF for ≥1 ms delay); internal 1.15 µA current source sets tPD(r) |
| 6: RESET | Open-drain output | Asserted low during fault or MR event; deasserts after delay; requires external pullup (10 kΩ–1 MΩ) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision 1% threshold accuracy | Guarantees reliable 1.8 V rail monitoring across temperature without calibration or trimming |
| User-adjustable reset delay | Enables exact match to MCU startup timing requirements (e.g., ≥1 ms for TMS320F2833x) |
| Ultra-low 2.1 µA quiescent current | Minimizes standby power draw in battery-backed or energy-harvesting systems |
| Independent SENSE input range (0–5.5 V) | Eliminates need for external resistor divider when monitoring 1.8 V rail directly |
| High noise immunity | 9 µs SENSE glitch immunity and built-in hysteresis prevent false resets from rail transients |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS389012DSER | Fixed 1.2 V threshold (VITN = 1.15 V); identical package, timing, and quiescent current | Designed for 1.2 V core rails (e.g., ARM Cortex-M0+), not 1.8 V systems | Select only if monitoring 1.2 V supply; mismatched threshold causes premature or failed reset assertion on 1.8 V rail |
| TPS389015DSER | Fixed 1.5 V threshold (VITN = 1.44 V); same architecture, accuracy, and delay capability | Targeted at 1.5 V I/O or memory rails; insufficient margin for 1.8 V nominal operation | Not suitable for 1.8 V supervision: 1.44 V threshold provides only 0.36 V dropout headroom vs. required 0.07 V (1.8 − 1.73) |
Compared with TPS389012DSER and TPS389015DSER, the TPS389018DSER uniquely matches the 1.8 V rail's 1.73 V trip point with 1% accuracy-ensuring optimal noise margin and avoiding false resets or delayed recovery seen with lower-threshold alternatives.

FAQ
What is the exact threshold voltage specification for TPS389018DSER?
The TPS389018DSER has a negative threshold voltage (VITN) of 1.73 V and a positive threshold voltage (VITP) of 1.740 V, with guaranteed ±1% accuracy over –40°C to +125°C. These values are factory-trimmed and specified in the device comparison table of the SLVSD65A datasheet; they enable precise supervision of nominal 1.8 V rails with 70 mV dropout margin.
How is the reset delay time configured on TPS389018DSER?
The reset delay time on TPS389018DSER is set by connecting an external capacitor between the CT pin and GND. The delay follows tPD(r) = CCT × 1.07 + 25 µs, using a nominal 1.15 µA internal current source. For example, a 1.5 nF capacitor yields ≥1 ms delay-meeting the startup timing requirement of TI's TMS320F2833x Delfino microcontrollers.
Does TPS389018DSER require a resistor divider to monitor a 1.8 V rail?
No, TPS389018DSER does not require a resistor divider to monitor a 1.8 V rail. Its SENSE pin accepts 0 V to 5.5 V directly, and the device is factory-configured for 1.8 V supervision (VITN = 1.73 V). This eliminates external components, reduces board area, and avoids divider-induced errors or leakage effects-unlike adjustable variants such as TPS389001.
What is the operating temperature range and package type of TPS389018DSER?
The TPS389018DSER is rated for operation from –40°C to +125°C (junction temperature) and is packaged in a 1.5-mm × 1.5-mm, 6-pin WSON (DSE) package with wettable flanks. This compact, thermally efficient package supports high-density layouts and automated optical inspection in automotive and industrial applications.
Can TPS389018DSER's RESET output interface with 3.3 V or 5 V logic systems?
Yes, TPS389018DSER's open-drain RESET output can interface with 3.3 V or 5 V logic systems. The RESET pin is voltage-agnostic: it sinks current when asserted and floats when deasserted, allowing an external pullup resistor to any supply rail ≤5.5 V. This enables direct connection to 3.3 V microcontroller reset inputs or 5 V FPGA configuration buses without level shifters.
