Product details
Overview
TPS3899DL15DSER from Texas Instruments is a nano-power, precision voltage supervisor with push-button monitoring capability, ±0.5% threshold accuracy, 125nA typical quiescent current, and programmable sense/reset delay via CTS/CTR pins. It operates from 0.85V to 6V supply and monitors external rails or buttons using a dedicated high-impedance SENSE pin - deployed in battery-powered electricity meters and industrial control modules.
For engineers reviewing the TPS3899DL15DSER datasheet, TPS3899DL15DSER pinout, TPS3899DL15DSER application, or TPS3899DL15DSER equivalent, key selection criteria include its open-drain active-low RESET output, 0.505V adjustable threshold, 5% typical hysteresis, and WSON-6 package compatibility with space-constrained, low-power systems requiring glitch-immune reset assertion.
Technical Context
The TPS3899DL15DSER implements dual independent timing paths: CTS pin controls sense delay (assertion) with 30–619 ms range using 0–1 µF capacitors, while CTR pin governs reset delay (deassertion) over the same range. Its internal comparator features built-in 5% hysteresis and glitch immunity up to 10 µs for 5% VIT− overdrive.
It supports decoupled monitoring - SENSE input accepts 0–6V signals independent of VDD (0.85–6V), enabling rail redundancy in high-reliability systems. The DL variant provides open-drain active-low RESET, requiring an external pull-up resistor referenced to any voltage ≤6V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDD Range | 0.85V to 6V - supports ultra-low-voltage microcontrollers and wide-input industrial rails. |
| Threshold Accuracy | ±0.5% (typical) - enables precise brownout detection without calibration in critical power sequencing. |
| Quiescent Current | 125nA (typical) - extends battery life in multi-year IoT sensor nodes and portable medical devices. |
| Hysteresis | 5% (typical) - prevents chatter during slow-rising/falling rail transitions or noisy button inputs. |
| Sense Delay Range | 30 µs to 619 ms - configurable via CTS capacitor to reject short glitches or debounce mechanical switches. |
| Reset Delay Range | 40 µs to 619 ms - independently set via CTR capacitor to ensure stable power/clock settling before MCU release. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive modules and industrial motor drives. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 1.5mm × 1.5mm WSON-6 (DSE), thermally enhanced, lead-free, moisture-sensitive level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - CTR | Reset delay timing input | Connects to ground-referenced capacitor to set deassertion delay; internal 500kΩ pull-up enables floating operation at 80µs default. |
| 2 - CTS | Sense delay timing input | Connects to ground-referenced capacitor to set assertion delay; internal 500kΩ pull-up enables floating operation at 50µs default. |
| 3 - GND | Ground reference | Low-impedance return path for internal circuitry and external bypass capacitors; must be connected directly to system ground plane. |
| 4 - VDD | Supply input | Power source for internal reference and logic; requires 0.1µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin per analog best practice. |
| 5 - SENSE | Monitored signal input | High-impedance (≤0.1µA leakage) input for direct rail monitoring or resistor-divider interface; accepts 0–6V regardless of VDD. |
| 6 - RESET | Open-drain active-low output | Asserts low when SENSE falls below VIT−; requires external pull-up to defined logic rail (≤6V); sinks ≤2mA. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable sense & reset delay | Independent CTS/CTR capacitor-based timing allows precise glitch rejection and power-up sequencing control without firmware overhead. |
| 0.505V adjustable threshold | Enables monitoring of sub-1V core rails (e.g., 0.8V FPGA I/O, 0.6V AI accelerators) with factory-trimmed ±0.5% accuracy. |
| Decoupled SENSE and VDD | SENSE pin operates up to 6V independent of VDD, supporting redundant monitoring of auxiliary supplies or isolated domains. |
| Nano-power operation | 125nA supply current permits integration into always-on subsystems without compromising battery runtime in energy-harvesting designs. |
| Glitch immunity | 10µs minimum pulse rejection at 5% VIT− overdrive ensures robustness against ESD transients and switching noise on monitored rails. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3897DL15DSER | Fixed 1.5V threshold (non-adjustable); identical pinout, timing, and quiescent current. | Lacks adjustable 0.505V option; suitable only where 1.5V rail supervision suffices. | Select when threshold is fixed and board layout reuse is prioritized over flexibility. |
| MAX6373KA29+T | Higher 1.2µA quiescent current; fixed 2.93V threshold; no programmable delay; SOT23-6 package. | No CTS/CTR configuration; limited to single-threshold, fixed-delay use cases. | Choose only for cost-sensitive, non-battery applications where delay tuning is unnecessary. |
Compared with TPS3899DL15DSER, TPS3897DL15DSER offers identical form-factor and timing but sacrifices adjustability, while MAX6373KA29+T trades nano-power operation and programmability for lower unit cost in non-critical power environments.

FAQ
What is the function of the CTS pin on the TPS3899DL15DSER?
The CTS pin on the TPS3899DL15DSER sets the sense delay - the time between SENSE voltage falling below VIT− and RESET assertion. With no capacitor, it defaults to ~50 µs; adding a capacitor (0–10 µF) extends delay up to ~619 ms. This enables reliable push-button debouncing or noise rejection on monitored rails without software intervention.
Does the TPS3899DL15DSER require an external pull-up resistor on the RESET pin?
Yes, the TPS3899DL15DSER uses an open-drain active-low RESET output, so an external pull-up resistor is mandatory. It can be connected to any voltage rail ≤6V - including logic rails different from VDD - enabling level-shifting and interoperability with diverse MCU reset inputs.
Can the TPS3899DL15DSER monitor a voltage higher than its VDD supply?
Yes. The SENSE pin on the TPS3899DL15DSER accepts input voltages from 0V to 6V independently of VDD (0.85–6V). This allows monitoring of higher-voltage rails - such as 5V or 24V supplies - using a resistor divider, while powering the device from a lower-voltage domain like 1.8V or 3.3V.
What is the significance of the "DL15" suffix in TPS3899DL15DSER?
The "DL15" in TPS3899DL15DSER denotes open-drain active-low output (DL) and a factory-programmed 1.5V fixed threshold (15). However, this specific part number is misaligned with TI's naming convention: DL15 indicates fixed 1.5V, but J-column data confirms TPS3899DL15DSER is the adjustable 0.505V version. Per TI documentation, "01" suffix denotes adjustable; "DL15" is a legacy or orderable variant designation retaining the DL output type and DSE package.
How does the TPS3899DL15DSER achieve ±0.5% threshold accuracy over temperature?
The TPS3899DL15DSER achieves ±0.5% VIT− accuracy from –40°C to +125°C through factory trimming of its internal reference and comparator offset, verified across temperature. This specification applies specifically to the 0.505V adjustable variant and is confirmed in Section 5.5 of the datasheet under "VIT– accuracy" with test conditions spanning full operating temperature.
