Product details

2.64V threshold — matching the supervisor to the rail

This threshold is set for a 3.3V nominal rail — the 2.64V trip point sits roughly 20% below the regulated output, giving the supply enough headroom to ride through minor dips without false resets. The open-drain, active-low output lets you wire-OR the reset signal with other supervisors or pull it up to a different logic voltage.

10 ms timeout — debouncing the power-good signal

That window is long enough for most MCU and DSP power-on sequences to complete their internal POR, but short enough that a system watchdog doesn't time out waiting for the processor to start. If your design needs a longer delay to sequence multiple rails, you'll need an external RC or a programmable supervisor.

Industrial temperature range — where it fits

The base product number TPS3838 covers a family of threshold options — if the 2.64V trip point doesn't match your rail, a different suffix in the same package and pinout may fit.

Frequently asked questions

What is the exact reset threshold voltage of TPS3838L30DBVTG4?

The reset threshold voltage is 2.64V, which is the voltage at which the output asserts a reset when the monitored supply falls below that level.

Does TPS3838L30DBVTG4 have an active low or open drain output?

The output is active low and open drain — it pulls low when the supply drops below the threshold, and requires an external pull-up resistor to a logic voltage to define the high state.
