FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
23
•
Supply Current: 220 nA (typical)
The TPS3836, TPS3837, and TPS3838 families of
supervisory circuits provide circuit initialization and
timing supervision, primarily for DSP and
processor-based systems.
•
Precision Supply Voltage Supervision Range:
1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.0 V, and 3.3 V
•
•
Power-On Reset Generator With Selectable
Delay Time: 10 ms or 200 ms
During power-on, RESET is asserted when the
supply voltage VDD becomes higher than 1.1 V.
Thereafter, the supervisory circuit monitors VDD and
keeps the RESET output active as long as VDD
remains below the threshold voltage of VIT. An
internal timer delays the return of the output to the
inactive state (high) to ensure proper system reset.
The delay time starts after VDD has risen above the
threshold voltage VIT.

Applications Using Low-Power DSPs,
Microcontrollers, or Microprocessors
the delay time is typically 200 ms. When the supply
voltage drops below the threshold voltage VIT, the
output becomes active (low) again. All the devices of
this family have a fixed-sense threshold voltage (VIT)
set by an internal voltage divider.

The TPS3836 has an active-low, push-pull RESET
output. The TPS3837 has an active-high, push-pull
RESET, and the TPS3838 integrates an active-low,
open-drain RESET output. The product spectrum is
designed for supply voltages of 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.0 V,
and 3.3 V. The circuits are available in either a
SOT23-5 or 2x2 SON-6 package. The TPS3836,
TPS3837, and TPS3838 families are characterized
for operation over a temperature range of –40°C to
+85°C.
