Product details

2.64V reset threshold — the fit decision

This is a single-voltage supervisor with a 2.64V threshold, designed to monitor a 3.3V rail. When VDD drops below 2.64V, the active-low open-drain output asserts reset and holds it for a minimum of 10 ms after the supply recovers. That 10 ms timeout is the minimum — actual timeout may be longer, so budget for the datasheet's full range in your watchdog or power-up sequencing.

Automotive-grade and temperature range

That puts it in the under-hood or engine-bay tier — not just cabin electronics. The open-drain output lets you wire-OR multiple reset signals on the same pull-up, common in safety-critical automotive designs.

Supplied in an SOT-23-5 package. The 5-pin footprint is compact and the pinout is standard for this family: GND, RESET, VDD, MR (manual reset, not present on this variant), and NC.

Frequently asked questions

Does TPS3838L30QDBVRQ1 have a direct replacement with the same package?

No direct replacement is listed by Texas Instruments for this exact order code. The TPS3838 family includes other threshold options (e.g., TPS3838L50 for 5V rails) in the same SOT-23-5 package, but those are also obsolete. For a pin-compatible alternative with the same threshold, you would need to evaluate a different supervisor family like the TPS382x series — but that requires a datasheet cross-check for pinout and timeout differences.
