Product details
Overview
TPS389050QDSERQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive-grade voltage supervisor IC that monitors 5.0 V system rails with ±1% threshold accuracy (VITN = 4.80 V, VITP = 4.828 V), asserts an open-drain RESET signal on undervoltage or manual reset assertion, and supports user-programmable delay from 25 µs to 30 s via external CT capacitor - deployed in infotainment head units and ADAS camera power sequencing.
For engineers reviewing the TPS389050QDSERQ1 datasheet, TPS389050QDSERQ1 pinout, TPS389050QDSERQ1 application, or TPS389050QDSERQ1 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 safety-critical automotive subsystems.
Technical Context
The TPS389050QDSERQ1 implements a precision bandgap reference and comparator architecture to achieve ±1% threshold accuracy across –40°C to +125°C, with fixed 5.0 V nominal detection (VITN = 4.80 V, VITP = 4.828 V) and 0.575% typical hysteresis. Its CT pin uses a 1.15 µA internal current source charging a user-supplied capacitor to set the rising-edge RESET delay time.
It operates from 1.5 V to 5.5 V supply (VDD), accepts SENSE inputs up to 5.5 V independent of VDD, features MR input with 0.25 × VDD logic-low threshold, and drives RESET as an open-drain output requiring external pullup - supporting multi-rail monitoring and compatibility with diverse microcontroller reset inputs.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS389050G-Q1 | VITN = 4.65 V (lower trip point), same package and delay capability | Better suited for 5.0 V rails with tighter tolerance or higher ripple margin | Select when system requires earlier reset assertion before 4.80 V threshold is crossed |
| TPS389050L-Q1 | VITN = 4.40 V (lowest trip point in family), identical pinout and timing | Targeted at legacy 5.0 V designs with wider regulation specs or aging power supplies | Choose for backward compatibility where 4.80 V trip causes nuisance resets |
Compared with TPS389050QDSERQ1, TPS389050G-Q1 offers earlier reset initiation for marginal 5 V rails, while TPS389050L-Q1 provides maximum immunity to transient dips - both retain identical WSON-6 packaging, CT-based delay programming, and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification.

FAQ
What is the exact threshold voltage specification for TPS389050QDSERQ1?
The TPS389050QDSERQ1 has a fixed negative threshold voltage (VITN) of 4.80 V and positive threshold voltage (VITP) of 4.828 V, with ±1% maximum accuracy over –40°C to +125°C. This corresponds to a nominal 5.0 V rail supervision point, and hysteresis is 0.575% typical - ensuring clean, bounce-free RESET assertion and deassertion during rail transitions.
How is the reset delay time programmed on TPS389050QDSERQ1?
The reset delay time on TPS389050QDSERQ1 is set by connecting an external capacitor between the CT pin and GND. The device uses a 1.15 µA internal current source to charge the capacitor; delay time follows tPD(r) = CCT × 1.07 + 25 µs (nominal). Capacitor values from 0 µF (25 µs min) to 26 µF (30 s max) are supported, and ceramic capacitors are recommended to minimize leakage effects.
Does TPS389050QDSERQ1 require an external pullup resistor on the RESET pin?
Yes, TPS389050QDSERQ1 features an open-drain RESET output and requires an external pullup resistor (10 kΩ to 1 MΩ) connected to the target reset rail voltage (≤5.5 V). The pullup value affects rise time and noise immunity; lower values improve speed but increase static current, while higher values reduce power but may degrade noise margin - 100 kΩ is commonly used for balanced performance.
Can TPS389050QDSERQ1 monitor voltages other than 5.0 V?
No - TPS389050QDSERQ1 is a fixed-threshold variant configured specifically for 5.0 V rail supervision (VITN = 4.80 V). For other rails, TI offers alternatives like TPS389018-Q1 (1.8 V), TPS389033-Q1 (3.3 V), or the adjustable TPS389001-Q1. The SENSE pin accepts inputs up to 5.5 V, but internal threshold is factory-trimmed and not user-modifiable on this part number.
What automotive qualification does TPS389050QDSERQ1 meet?
TPS389050QDSERQ1 is AEC-Q100 qualified for Grade 1 operation (–40°C to +125°C ambient), with HBM ESD rating of ±2000 V and CDM rating of ±750 V. It meets automotive reliability requirements for use in infotainment, ADAS, cluster, and gateway applications, and is manufactured in TI's IATF 16949-certified facilities with full traceability and PPAP support.
