Product details
Overview
TPS38J010122DSKRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive dual-channel overvoltage/undervoltage detector with 65 V input rating, 1 μA typical quiescent current, ±1.5% threshold accuracy (2.7–36 V range), and programmable sense/reset delays via external capacitors. It monitors two independent voltage rails in telematics control units and body control modules.
For engineers reviewing the TPS38J010122DSKRQ1 datasheet, TPS38J010122DSKRQ1 pinout, TPS38J010122DSKRQ1 application, or TPS38J010122DSKRQ1 equivalent, this device delivers dual-rail monitoring with 65 V SENSE/VDD tolerance, flexible OV/UV detection per channel, and manual reset capability - critical for automotive power rail supervision where cold-crank transients and system redundancy are design constraints.
Technical Context
The TPS38J010122DSKRQ1 implements independent dual-channel sensing with separate SENSE1/SENSE2 inputs, each supporting configurable OV or UV detection with user-programmable hysteresis (2–13% or fixed 0.5–2.5 V). Its internal reference divider eliminates external resistors for standard thresholds, while high-impedance SENSE pins allow optional external resistor networks for custom 800 mV–36 V thresholds.
Each channel features dedicated CTSx (sense delay) and CTRx/MR (reset delay/manual reset) pins, enabling independent timing control: CTS1/CTS2 set sense assertion delay (1.28 ms to 1.28 s), CTR1/CTR2 set reset deassertion delay (12.8 ms to 12.8 s), and MR functionality forces immediate reset assertion on either channel when driven low.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 65 V - supports direct connection to 12 V/24 V automotive battery without level-shifting or external regulators. |
| Threshold Accuracy | ±1.5% (2.7–36 V), ±1% (800 mV) - ensures reliable fault detection across –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature. |
| Quiescent Current | 1 μA typical - enables always-on monitoring in low-power automotive subsystems without compromising battery life. |
| Sense Delay Range | 1.28 ms to 1.28 s (via 10 nF–10 μF capacitor on CTS1/CTS2) - suppresses false triggers from short-duration voltage glitches. |
| Reset Delay Range | 12.8 ms to 12.8 s (via 10 nF–10 μF capacitor on CTR1/CTR2) - provides configurable hold time for controlled system recovery after fault clearance. |
| Output Topology | Channel 1: Open-drain or push-pull; Channel 2: Open-drain - allows flexible interface with MCU reset inputs or logic-level supervisors. |

Pinout & Package
TPS38J010122DSKRQ1 is packaged in a 10-pin WSON (DSK) package with 2.5 mm × 2.5 mm body size and wettable flanks for AOI compatibility. The central thermal pad is non-conductive to meet IEC60664 creepage requirements between VDD and GND.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | Power supply input | Accepts 2.7–65 V; bypass with 0.1 µF capacitor to GND; powers internal circuitry independently of SENSE voltages. |
| SENSE1 | Channel 1 monitored voltage input | High-impedance input for OV/UV detection; supports internal divider (2.7–36 V) or external resistor network (down to 800 mV). |
| SENSE2 | Channel 2 monitored voltage input | Independent of SENSE1; identical electrical behavior and configuration options for redundant or multi-rail monitoring. |
| GND | Ground reference | Pin 10; all GND connections must be tied to PCB ground plane for stable operation and ESD path integrity. |
| RESET1 | Channel 1 reset output | Configurable as open-drain (requires external pull-up) or push-pull; asserts on SENSE1 OV/UV fault after CTS1 delay. |
| RESET2 | Channel 2 reset output | Open-drain only; asserts on SENSE2 OV/UV fault after CTS2 delay; requires external pull-up resistor. |
| CTR1/MR | Channel 1 reset delay & manual reset | Capacitor-connected for adjustable reset delay; driven low to force immediate RESET1 assertion; floating = shortest delay. |
| CTR2/MR | Channel 2 reset delay & manual reset | Functionally identical to CTR1/MR but for RESET2; enables independent manual reset per channel. |
| CTS1 | Channel 1 sense delay timing | Capacitor-connected node setting sense assertion delay for RESET1; debounces SENSE1 voltage transients. |
| CTS2 | Channel 2 sense delay timing | Capacitor-connected node setting sense assertion delay for RESET2; provides independent glitch immunity per rail. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent OV/UV channels | Enables simultaneous monitoring of primary and backup rails (e.g., main 12 V and backup VBA) with no shared timing or threshold dependencies. |
| 65 V-rated SENSE and VDD pins | Allows direct connection to automotive battery without external clamping or attenuation, reducing BOM count and board space. |
| Programmable hysteresis (2–13% or fixed) | Prevents chatter during cold-crank (e.g., 5–7 V dips) or start-stop transients by setting appropriate voltage margin above/below threshold. |
| Manual reset (MR) per channel | Supports hardware-initiated system reset via microcontroller GPIO or pushbutton without software intervention - critical for safety-critical recovery. |
| Integrated resistor divider | Eliminates need for external resistors in standard configurations, reducing leakage current and improving long-term accuracy stability. |
Applications
| Telematics Control Unit (TCU) | Emergency Call System (eCall) |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Monitors 12 V battery rail and 5 V LDO output during vehicle ignition, GPS signal acquisition, and cellular handshaking. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-channel supervisor asserting RESET1 on battery undervoltage (< 9 V) and RESET2 on LDO overvoltage (> 5.5 V) with 10 ms sense delay to ignore cranking noise. Use Value: Prevents firmware corruption during brown-out events and protects RF front-end ICs from overvoltage damage during load dump. |
Use Scenario: Supervises power to GSM module and accelerometer during crash detection and post-impact communication. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Uses MR pin to trigger immediate RESET1 assertion upon airbag ECU signal, forcing full system reboot before eCall transmission. Use Value: Ensures deterministic reset sequence and guaranteed power-rail validity prior to initiating emergency call - meeting UNECE R155 functional safety requirements. |
| Audio Amplifier Power Stage | Body Control Module (BCM) |
Use Scenario: Tracks boost converter output (24 V) and DSP core supply (3.3 V) in Class-D amplifier subsystem. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Configures SENSE1 for 24 V OV detection (26 V threshold) and SENSE2 for 3.3 V UV detection (3.0 V threshold), both with 2% hysteresis. Use Value: Shuts down amplifier stage before MOSFET overvoltage failure and prevents DSP lockup due to undervoltage - eliminating audible pop/click artifacts. |
Use Scenario: Supervises door module MCU supply (5 V), LIN transceiver bias (12 V), and LED driver input (24 V) in centralized BCM architecture. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Assigns RESET1 to 5 V rail (UV only), RESET2 to 12 V rail (OV only), with independent CTS/CTR capacitors for staggered reset sequencing. Use Value: Enables selective subsystem restart (e.g., retain LIN comms while rebooting MCU) - improving diagnostic traceability and reducing wake-up current spikes. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel automotive voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS3808G33QDBVRQ1 | Single-channel, fixed 3.3 V threshold, no SENSE pin - uses VDD as monitored rail; 350 ns propagation delay vs. 10 µs for TPS38J010122DSKRQ1. | Limited to single-rail monitoring; lacks independent SENSE inputs and manual reset; suitable only for simple MCU supply supervision. | Select when cost-sensitive single-rail monitoring suffices and dual-channel redundancy is unnecessary. |
| MAX6326TTUT+T | Single-channel, 3.08 V fixed UV detector; 1.6 µA quiescent current; no OV detection, no programmable delay, no AEC-Q100 qualification. | Not automotive-qualified; no overvoltage protection; no timing flexibility - restricted to industrial/commercial low-voltage systems. | Choose only for non-automotive 3.3 V systems where AEC-Q100 and dual-channel capability are irrelevant. |
Compared with TPS3808G33QDBVRQ1 and MAX6326TTUT+T, the TPS38J010122DSKRQ1 uniquely supports dual independent rails, 65 V tolerance, programmable OV/UV per channel, and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 compliance - making it the only option for safety-critical automotive multi-rail supervision requiring redundancy and transient resilience.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous voltage rating for SENSE1 and SENSE2 pins on the TPS38J010122DSKRQ1?
The SENSE1 and SENSE2 pins on the TPS38J010122DSKRQ1 are rated for continuous operation up to 65 V, matching the VDD absolute maximum rating. This allows direct connection to automotive battery rails without external voltage dividers or clamping circuits, provided external protection limits transients to ≤70 V per absolute maximum ratings.
Does the TPS38J010122DSKRQ1 support both overvoltage and undervoltage detection on the same channel?
Yes, the TPS38J010122DSKRQ1 supports configurable OV or UV detection per channel via device nomenclature and internal configuration. Each SENSE input can be independently set for either overvoltage (e.g., SENSE1 > VITP) or undervoltage (e.g., SENSE2 < VITN) response, with hysteresis applied accordingly - confirmed in the Functional Block Diagram and Section 8.3.3 of the datasheet.
How is the reset time delay programmed on the TPS38J010122DSKRQ1?
The reset time delay for each channel is programmed using an external capacitor on the CTR1/MR (Channel 1) or CTR2/MR (Channel 2) pin. With an internal 1 MΩ timing resistor, a 10 nF capacitor yields ~12.8 ms delay, scaling linearly to ~12.8 s with 10 μF. Leaving the pin floating selects the minimum delay (~100 µs), as specified in Table 7-6.
Can the TPS38J010122DSKRQ1 monitor voltage rails higher than its VDD supply voltage?
Yes, the TPS38J010122DSKRQ1 supports independent VDD and SENSE voltage domains. VDD may be supplied at 2.7 V (e.g., from a local LDO) while SENSE1 and SENSE2 monitor up to 65 V rails - a key feature enabling low-power always-on supervision of high-voltage battery lines without level-shifting circuitry.
Is the TPS38J010122DSKRQ1 pin-compatible with other variants in the TPS38-Q1 family?
No, the TPS38J010122DSKRQ1 is not pin-compatible with other TPS38-Q1 variants such as those in the DYY (14-pin SOT-23) package. It uses the 10-pin WSON (DSK) footprint exclusively, with distinct pin assignments including NC pads and dedicated CTS/CTR routing - verified in Figure 6-1 and Table 6-1 of the datasheet.
