Dual-rail supervisor with 1.68 V and 2.93 V thresholds
The Texas Instruments TPS3305-18DGNRG4 is a multi-voltage supervisor that monitors two supply rails — one at 1.68 V and the other at 2.93 V — and asserts a reset when either drops below its threshold. The reset outputs are available in both active-high and active-low push-pull configurations, giving the designer flexibility to interface with different processor reset schemes without external inverters.

This avoids spurious boot failures on systems where the core rail stabilises before the I/O rail.
The 8-HVSSOP package with exposed pad helps conduct heat to the PCB ground plane, keeping the die temperature within the operating range even in enclosed enclosures.
