Product details

1.71V threshold supervisor for 1.8V rails

The open-drain, active-low output stays low for a minimum of 10ms after the rail recovers, giving the downstream MCU or FPGA time to stabilise before release. This part is a basic voltage supervisor — no watchdog timer, no manual reset — just a clean brown-out reset for a single low-voltage rail.

Industrial temp and SOT-23-5 footprint

The SOT-23-5 package (SC-74A) is a common small-outline footprint that routes easily on two-layer boards; the supply pin needs a 0.1µF ceramic within 5mm for decoupling, and the open-drain output pulls up to the monitored rail or a separate 3.3V logic rail through a 10kΩ resistor.

The SOT-23-5 package is widely used across TI's supervisor family, which means the supply base is broad and the part is stocked across multiple distribution channels.

Sourcing and provenance

Sourced through independent distribution, each reel is traceable to a verified supply chain. The date-code laser etch on the body should match TI's standard font and marking layout — any deviation flags a suspect part.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy TPS3838E18DBVT and check current pricing?

TPS3838E18DBVT is available to order through independent distribution. Submit an RFQ for a current price and lead-time estimate.

What is the lifecycle status of TPS3838E18DBVT?

The TPS3838E18DBVT is listed as Active by Texas Instruments. No end-of-life or last-time-buy notice has been issued for this part.

What is the difference between TPS3838E18DBVT and TPS3838E18DBVR?

The TPS3838E18DBVT and TPS3838E18DBVR share the same electrical specifications — 1.71V threshold, active-low open-drain output, 10ms timeout. Both are SOT-23-5 and functionally identical.

Is TPS3838E18DBVT RoHS compliant?

Yes, the TPS3838E18DBVT is RoHS compliant. Texas Instruments marks RoHS compliance on the product label and the datasheet confirms lead-free construction for this part number.
