Product details
Overview
TS831-3IZ from STMicroelectronics is a micropower voltage supervisor IC with active-low open-drain reset output, designed for power-on reset and brown-out detection in low-voltage microcontroller systems. It features a 2.71V typical threshold voltage, 12µA maximum supply current at 3V, 60mV internal hysteresis, guaranteed operation down to 1V VCC, and 20µs response time under 10mV overdrive.
For engineers reviewing the TS831-3IZ datasheet, TS831-3IZ pinout, TS831-3IZ application, or TS831-3IZ equivalent, this device serves as a precision, ultra-low-power reset supervisor for battery-powered and energy-constrained embedded systems requiring stable reset assertion across wide temperature ranges (–40°C to +125°C) and supply voltages (1V to 5.5V).
Technical Context
The TS831-3IZ integrates a thermally matched band-gap reference and comparator with built-in hysteresis (60mV), enabling robust noise immunity during supply ramp-up/down. Its open-drain output requires an external pull-up and asserts low when VCC falls below the 2.71V threshold (typ.), with VTHD = 2.65V (typ.) and VTHI = 2.71V (typ.) over –40°C to +125°C.
It operates across 1V to 5.5V supply range with sub-12µA quiescent current at 3V, and delivers fast 20µs propagation delay (TPHL) into 10kΩ/15pF load - critical for reliable MCU initialization in portable and industrial edge nodes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.71V typ., 2.55–2.8V min/max - sets precise brown-out detection point for 3V systems |
| Supply Current | 12µA max at 3V - enables multi-year battery life in always-on monitoring applications |
| Hysteresis | 60mV typ. - prevents chatter during slow or noisy VCC transitions |
| Response Time | 20µs (TPHL) with 10mV overdrive - ensures timely reset assertion before MCU logic destabilizes |
| Operating Voltage | 1V to 5.5V - supports single-cell Li-ion, coin cell, and 3.3V/5V rail supervision |
| Temperature Range | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for automotive under-hood and industrial control environments |
| Output Type | Open-drain, active-low - allows flexible pull-up voltage selection and wired-OR reset bus configuration |
Pinout & Package
TS831-3IZ is supplied in TO-92 plastic package (3-pin, through-hole), with pin 1 = VCC, pin 2 = GND, pin 3 = RESET (open-drain output).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | Positive supply input - powers internal reference and comparator; accepts 1V–5.5V |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference - common return path for reference, comparator, and output stage |
| 3 | RESET | Open-drain active-low output - sinks current when VCC < threshold; requires external pull-up |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low power consumption | 12µA max ICC at 3V - reduces system standby power by >90% vs. legacy supervisors |
| Guaranteed reset at low VCC | Functional down to 1V - enables reset assertion even during deep brown-out or battery depletion |
| Thermally matched threshold resistors | 2.71V typ. with ±0.06V variation over –40°C to +125°C - eliminates need for external trimming |
| Internal hysteresis | 60mV fixed - removes requirement for external feedback resistor network |
| Fast response with small overdrive | 20µs TPHL at only 10mV overdrive - detects marginal supply dips before logic corruption occurs |
Applications
| Power-On Reset for 3V Microcontrollers | Battery Voltage Monitor in Wearables |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Ensures clean, synchronized startup of ARM Cortex-M0+ MCUs powered from regulated 3.3V rails after cold boot or wake-from-sleep. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Active-low reset supervisor asserting RESET until VCC stabilizes above 2.71V and remains there for >20µs. Use Value: Prevents code execution from corrupted memory or uninitialized peripherals by guaranteeing minimum reset pulse width via internal timing margin. | Use Scenario: Monitors declining voltage of CR2032 coin cells in Bluetooth LE fitness trackers to trigger graceful shutdown before data loss. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Brown-out detector comparing battery voltage against 2.71V threshold with 60mV hysteresis to avoid oscillation near cutoff. Use Value: Extends usable battery life by 12–18% versus fixed-threshold solutions, due to deterministic hysteresis and sub-12µA quiescent draw. |

Use Scenario: Provides fail-safe reset for LoRaWAN sensor nodes operating on 2xAA alkaline batteries in unheated outdoor enclosures (–40°C to +85°C). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Micropower supervisor maintaining reset assertion during cold-start voltage ramp, with guaranteed operation down to 1V VCC. Use Value: Eliminates need for external voltage divider or temperature compensation, reducing BOM count and PCB area by 35%. | Use Scenario: Generates reliable power-on reset for 32-bit RISC MCU in BCM modules powered from vehicle 12V rail via 3.3V LDO. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-immunity reset generator with 125°C rating and 60mV hysteresis to withstand load-dump transients and thermal cycling. Use Value: Meets AEC-Q100 Grade 1 requirements without derating, reducing qualification effort versus generic supervisors. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX809TRD3+T | 2.93V fixed threshold, 3µA ICC, SOT-23-3 package | Lacks hysteresis; requires external RC for noise immunity | Prefer for ultra-low-current (<5µA) applications where threshold tolerance >±3% is acceptable |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V threshold, 1.1µA ICC, adjustable delay, SOT-23-6 | Higher integration (delay timer), but no 2.7V option; larger footprint | Choose when programmable reset timeout is required and board space permits 6-pin layout |
Compared with MAX809TRD3+T and TPS3808G33DBVR, TS831-3IZ uniquely balances 2.71V precision, 60mV hysteresis, 12µA consumption, and TO-92 compatibility - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained 3V systems needing deterministic brown-out behavior without external components.

FAQ
What is the minimum VCC required for TS831-3IZ to assert reset?
The TS831-3IZ guarantees functional reset assertion down to 1V VCC, with the comparator remaining operational and the open-drain output capable of sinking ≥1mA at VOL ≤500mV (tested at VCC = 2.4V, IOL = 1mA, –40°C to +125°C). This enables use in deeply browned-out conditions where other supervisors fail.
Does TS831-3IZ require an external pull-up resistor on the RESET pin?
Yes - the RESET pin is open-drain and must be pulled up externally. Recommended pull-up values range from 10kΩ to 100kΩ depending on bus capacitance and sink current requirements; ST's application note AN2027 specifies 47kΩ for standard 3.3V microcontroller interfaces with ≤20pF trace capacitance.
How does the 60mV hysteresis improve system reliability?
The 60mV hysteresis creates a 2.65V to 2.71V window between release (VTHD) and reassertion (VTHI) thresholds, preventing rapid toggling during slow-rising or noisy supply rails. This eliminates false resets caused by ripple, ESD transients, or thermal drift - verified across –40°C to +125°C per datasheet Figure 6.
Can TS831-3IZ replace MC33064 in existing designs?
Yes - TS831-3IZ is pin-to-pin compatible with MC33064 in TO-92 and offers superior specs: lower ICC (12µA vs. 30µA), tighter threshold tolerance (±2.5% vs. ±5%), guaranteed 1V operation (vs. 2.5V min), and integrated 60mV hysteresis (MC33064 requires external hysteresis resistor). No layout changes needed.
