Product details
Overview
TS831-5IZ from STMicroelectronics is an ultra-low-power voltage supervisor IC with active-low open-drain reset output, precision 4.33 V threshold (typ.), 12 µA supply current at 5 V, guaranteed operation down to 1 V supply, and 20 µs response time under 10 mV overdrive - used for power-on reset generation in microcontroller systems.
For engineers reviewing the TS831-5IZ datasheet, TS831-5IZ pinout, TS831-5IZ application, or TS831-5IZ equivalent, key selection criteria include reset threshold accuracy across temperature, ultra-low ICC stability at low VCC, open-drain sink capability up to 20 mA, and compatibility with MC33064/MC33164-based legacy designs.
Technical Context
The TS831-5IZ integrates a thermally matched band-gap reference and comparator with internal hysteresis (100 mV typ.) to prevent false resets during noisy supply transients. Its threshold is trimmed to 4.33 V (VTHI) and 4.46 V (VTHD) over −40°C to +125°C, enabling reliable detection of brown-out conditions in battery-powered embedded systems.
It operates from 1 V to 5.5 V supply, delivers 20 µs propagation delay (TPHL) with 10 mV overdrive into 10 kΩ/15 pF load, and features rail-to-rail input monitoring without external components - all while consuming only 12 µA at 5 V and 25°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.33 V (typ.) - precise detection point for 5 V system brown-out, stable over −40°C to +125°C |
| Supply Current | 12 µA max at 5 V - enables multi-year battery life in always-on supervisory applications |
| Response Time | 20 µs (TPHL) - fast enough to assert reset before microcontroller executes corrupted code |
| Hysteresis | 100 mV (typ.) - suppresses chatter during slow-rising/falling VCC transitions |
| Output Type | Open-drain - supports flexible pull-up to any logic rail (e.g., 3.3 V or 5 V) and wired-OR reset buses |
| Min Operating Voltage | 1 V - ensures valid reset assertion even during deep brown-out or supercapacitor discharge |
| Sink Current | 20 mA (max) - drives standard 10 kΩ pull-up resistors with <1 V VOL at 8 mA load |
Pinout & Package
TS831-5IZ is supplied in TO-92 plastic package (3-pin, through-hole), with pin 1 = VIN, pin 2 = GND, pin 3 = RESET (open-drain output).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VIN | Monitored supply input - connects directly to system VCC for reset generation |
| 2 | GND | Analog ground reference - must be tied to clean system ground plane for threshold accuracy |
| 3 | RESET | Active-low open-drain output - requires external pull-up; asserts low when VIN < VTH |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low ICC | 12 µA max at 5 V - eliminates need for shutdown sequencing in energy-constrained nodes |
| Guaranteed 1 V operation | Valid reset assertion down to 1 V supply - supports wide-range Li-ion/Li-SOCl₂ battery discharge profiles |
| Thermally matched threshold | 4.33 V typ. with ±220 mV total variation over −40°C to +125°C - no external trimming required |
| Integrated hysteresis | 100 mV typ. - removes need for external feedback resistor network and PCB space |
| MC33064/MC33164 pin-compatible | Direct drop-in replacement in existing designs - same pinout, footprint, and functional behavior |
Applications
| Microcontroller Power-On Reset | Battery-Powered Sensor Node Supervision |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Microcontroller startup sequence requiring reliable reset until VCC stabilizes above 4.3 V. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Voltage supervisor asserting active-low reset signal until monitored supply exceeds 4.33 V threshold. Use Value: Prevents CPU lockup or firmware corruption by ensuring minimum VCC before instruction fetch begins. |
Use Scenario: Long-life IoT sensor node powered by coin cell or energy harvester with variable output. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Brown-out detector triggering controlled shutdown when supply drops below 4.33 V. Use Value: Enables deterministic state save and graceful sleep entry before supply collapse. |
| Industrial PLC I/O Module Reset | Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) Monitoring |
|
Use Scenario: DIN-rail mounted PLC module subject to 24 V DC bus ripple and cold-cranking dips. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Resets digital logic when 5 V LDO output falls below 4.33 V due to upstream rail disturbance. Use Value: Maintains deterministic recovery after transient undervoltage events without manual intervention. |
Use Scenario: BCM operating from vehicle battery (9–16 V) with LDO-regulated 5 V domain. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monitors 5 V rail and asserts reset if cold-cranking drops VCC below 4.33 V. Use Value: Guarantees MCU reset during engine start, preventing spurious CAN message transmission. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MC33064DR2G | Threshold 4.5 V (±2.5%), ICC = 25 µA, hysteresis 120 mV, SO-8 only | Higher threshold and current - less suitable for tight 5 V margin systems or ultra-low-power designs | Prefer where legacy SO-8 layout exists and 4.5 V trip is acceptable |
| TLV803EB33DBZR | Threshold 3.3 V (fixed), ICC = 270 nA, SOT-23-3, no hysteresis - requires external RC | Lower threshold and nanoamp current - targets 3.3 V systems, not 5 V brown-out detection | Prefer for 3.3 V domains with extreme battery life requirements; not interchangeable |
Compared with MC33064DR2G and TLV803EB33DBZR, TS831-5IZ uniquely balances 4.33 V precision, 12 µA ultra-low ICC, 100 mV hysteresis, and TO-92 through-hole compatibility - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, high-reliability 5 V microcontroller reset applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum sink current capability of TS831-5IZ?
The TS831-5IZ guarantees 20 mA sink current at VCC = 4 V and −40°C to +85°C, with typical VOL of 450 mV at 8 mA. At full 20 mA, VOL remains ≤1.3 V across temperature, supporting standard 10 kΩ pull-up resistors on 5 V rails.
Does TS831-5IZ require an external pull-up resistor?
Yes - its open-drain RESET output requires an external pull-up resistor to the target logic rail (e.g., 3.3 V or 5 V). Recommended values range from 4.7 kΩ to 10 kΩ, selected based on sink current, VOL budget, and rise time requirements per the "Voltage output low vs Isink" curves in the datasheet.
How does hysteresis improve noise immunity in TS831-5IZ?
TS831-5IZ provides 100 mV typical hysteresis between rising (4.33 V) and falling (4.46 V) thresholds. This prevents oscillatory reset toggling during slow or noisy VCC transitions near the trip point, eliminating false resets without needing external positive feedback components.
Can TS831-5IZ operate from a 3.3 V supply?
No - TS831-5IZ is specified for 4.33 V threshold and requires VCC ≥1 V to function, but its threshold is fixed for 5 V systems. For 3.3 V supervision, ST offers TS831-3IZ (2.71 V threshold); using TS831-5IZ on 3.3 V would result in permanent reset assertion since VCC never exceeds VTH.
