TPS3808

Texas Instruments · Voltage supervisor · SOT-23-6

Watches a supply rail and holds an open-drain RESET low until the rail is good and a delay has elapsed. The threshold is set by a resistor divider into SENSE (adjustable versions) or fixed by order code, and a single capacitor at CT sets the reset time-out from microseconds to seconds. A manual-reset input (MR) forces a reset on command. It draws under 3 uA, so it suits battery-powered supervision. A flexible single-channel reset generator.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 RESET output Active-low open-drain RESET output. Asserted (low) when SENSE < VIT or MR is low. Requires a 10 kΩ to 1 MΩ pull-up; may be pulled above VDD.
2 GND power_in Ground return for the device.
3 MR input Active-low manual reset input. Driving MR low asserts RESET. Internally tied to VDD by a ~90 kΩ pull-up (may be left open).
4 CT input Reset-period programming pin. Open = fixed delay; 40 kΩ-200 kΩ to VDD selects a discrete delay; a ≥100 pF capacitor to GND sets a user-programmable 1.25 ms-10 s delay.
5 SENSE input Voltage-monitor input. When VSENSE drops below the threshold VIT, RESET is asserted. On the adjustable G01 variant SENSE is compared to an internal 0.405 V reference for external divider use.
6 VDD power_in Supply voltage, 1.7 V to 6.5 V. Bypass with a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor placed close to the pin.
